OLEY, Pa. (AP) - July 19, 2006 - The people who run the Oley Legion Diner in Berks County have put up a new sign poking fun at the English-only cheesesteak flap in Philadelphia.
The owner of Geno's Steaks in South Philadelphia has posted signs stating, "This is America: When Ordering Speak English." The Oley Legion Diner's new sign says, "Please Order in PA Dutch."
The Pennsylvania German-only request isn't enforced, although some regulars say they often speak the dying dialect.
Oley resident Carl Sayer says, "Sometimes that comes out first."
Paul Kunkel of Emmaus (eh-MAY'-uhs) has taught the dialect for 30 years. He says while it was widespread several decades ago, "Today, you don't hear it anymore."
The owners of the Oley Legion Diner in Berks County won't force you to say "pannkuche" (PAHN'-koo-keh) and "schunkeflaesch" (SCHOON-keh-fleyesh) to order pancakes and ham, but you might want to become familiar with some of the Pennsylvania Dutch terms.
- Eggs -- oier (OY'-ur).
- Toast -- geroached brot (geh-ROHCHT' broht).
- Home fries -- gebrodene grumbiere (geh-BROH'-deh-neh GRUM'-beer-eh).
- Bacon -- seideschpect (SEYED'-eh-schpekt).
- Sausage -- wauscht (VAWSCHT).
- Scrapple -- pannhaus (PAHN'-hows).
- Coffee -- koffee (KAW'-fee).
- Cheeseburger -- gemauldt rinsflaesch kaese (geh-MAWLDT' RINZ'-fleyesh KAY'-seh).
- Soda -- soda (SOH'-duh).
What is scrapple?
What is scrapple? Kind of like a square sausage. You don't want to know the ingredients but, it tastes great!
Isn't that the flavored tea that Rush Limbaugh advertises?
A board game where you try to form words with little tiles that have letters on them?
(whatever PING is in Amish)
Then you slice it into 1/4" thick pices, and pan fry it.
Beats the heck out of bacon.

Sounds sort of like a dish my old German grandmother used to make back in Cincinnati. It was called "goetta".
Except for the cuts of pork used, recipe is similar. Yum.
Schmect gut, nicht wahr?
Ich spreche nicht Deutsches gut.
But I catch your drift.
To sprech Dutch, chust use a heffy Cherman aksent und trow in some gut vords from Cherman dat chu know.
Das ist gut!
