Bjarne, do you know of any German, Danish or Dutch food called Trachten? I have heard this word to mean "to try" or "try to" but several who are trying to translate a 1500s Germanic recipe book thinks that is is a food of some sort.
Tracht is clothing, and generally clothing of a specific place (now meaning folk dress) Trachtenbucher of the 16thC were books of dress of different lands. What is the context, and what is it in a Ducth, German or Danish book? It may mean to dress the dish;). I've never know it to mean to try.
