harulla

noun

Plural:   harullas

Traditional Central-European meal made of grated potatoes, garlic, marjoram, salt, bacon and optional flour and/or eggs, baked in a thick layer in an oven.  Although the ingredients are the same as for making potato pancakes, the resulting delicacy is quite different in its appearance, texture, smell, taste, and overall gourmet impression.  Other names:  potato baba;  placerka.

Examples: 

This firmish puddingy speciality is likewisely a savourous potatoey mouthwaterer.  But in such a happenstance, let us not promise our invitees the twoside-crusted crunchcakes and definitely not make them crave "Bartoncakes":  Rather, we openly declare a harulla-lovers' nosh-up.  (Source: J∙ Okram - Bartonian Potato Pancakes  ●  Cooking Recipe.)

henegg

noun

Plural:  heneggs

An egg laid by a hen;  a chicken egg;  a goog.

Examples:

Our pancake-troubleshooting manoeuvres disprefer all ultra-fine and smooth flours (increased danger of slime generation); semi-coarse general-purpose flours tend to be much more effectual.  If it's impossible to proceed without auxiliary flour and heneggs, the culprit almost certainly is the potatoes:  Only concoctions comprising unsuitable varieties crumble or overchar.  (Source: J∙ Okram - Bartonian Potato Pancakes  ●  Cooking Recipe.)
