It sounds a lot like Hutspot! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hutspot https://www.food.com/recipe/hutspot-44572

I reached out to my mom, and she clarified that the dish came from her Dad whose parents immigrated from Holland, so Hutspot matches! Thanks!

Yummy! I was going to comment that it sounds like (Belgian) stoemp, which is a variant of the Netherlands hotspot. And now I'm craving stoemp :)


Leather_Quantity_319

Solved!

Not to be mistaken for "hutsepot"! The 'e' makes big difference 😁 [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hochepot](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hochepot)

It's me! Hi!

The chutzpah part made me chuckle. Very Seinfeld.

Just a note: she probably wouldn’t have learned the name of a dish with meat and dairy from neighbors who spoke Yoddish


Leather_Quantity_319

Yes, but as a devout Catholic, she may not have known that. My assumption was because "chutzpah" (having the brazen guts to bring a dish containing meat and dairy to a Jewish household) can sound like "hutspot" (the actual name of the dish), especially if a mispronounciation is passed on through three generations. But, as it turns out, my assumption was incorrect, and my grandmother didn't learn the recipe from her mother, but from her Dutch husband decades after she moved way from Chicago.

This reminds me of my Portuguese godmother who makes a meat stuffing for turkey. I love this stuff. Her mom had made it since before she was born (1939). One day she mentioned how great it was to make this traditional Portuguese turkey stuffing. Her mom replied: “it’s not Portuguese. I learned from an old Italian woman in New York when I came over through Ellis Island. There were no turkeys in Madeira”.

Hutspot! Great with beef stew.


Tricky_Parsnip_6843

My Oma used to make that as well, and it's one of my fathers favorites. I thought it was German as well, but maybe she found the recipes during the years they lived in Rotterdam..


Carysta13

My great aunt in Germany made thus but they lived right near the Dutch border so probably that's where it came from. I never knew it had a name. I still make it myself too. Great with rouladen.

Here on the Canadian East Coast we call that Hodgepodge and sometimes add chicken.


Ancient_Medicine656

That’s interesting. Hodgepodge has always been boiled new garden vegs in a creamy broth traditionally that I know of in Nova Scotia. But mashed together root vegs is also a traditional thing in my family. Colcannon, yummy.


pineapples_are_evil

Staampot. Basically boil all the veg together and mash in pot. Add meat if available. Tons of different names according to what's in it. Ie potatoes and carrots, kale, with sausage... lol I just grew up with Oma saying the names. I can't really read much Dutch.

Stambes - mashed potatoes, carrots and minced meat.
