By adding the "ge" in front of the word Gleist (to glaze) and the "ener" after the word Gleist - is a way of saying that this matzah is "gleist-ed" or glazed.
The form of "glazing" is that the matzoh is dipped in the egg. It is not a mispronunciation. Food Network has a recipe online that is Gleist Matzoh and looks the same as a matzoh brei that is commonly made. ________________________________ From: hasafran-bounces+naomi.johnson=unco....@lists.service.ohio-state.edu [hasafran-bounces+naomi.johnson=unco....@lists.service.ohio-state.edu] on behalf of olivia hibel [[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, September 20, 2012 12:44 AM To: Liza Stabler; [email protected] Subject: [ha-Safran] Recipe Question There is a good chance, that since 1880, the spelling and pronunciation of the recipe title having changed a bit, or the grandmother's speech slurred, that the recipe is actually: GALITZIANER MATZO BREI. Often people who say (when speaking English) that they came from Austria, came from the region Galicia; if one could find out where the grandmother came from.....perhaps it's indeed located in Galicia! To take on the voice of their disputants, the Litvaks-- isn't it just like those "outrageous" Galitzianer to so indulge, and make a fleishigeh matzo brei.

It's a terrific project and we hope to have it published by the end of the year. One of the congregants submitted a recipe she calls "Gegleistener Matzo". I haven't been able to find a reference to "gegleistener" anywhere -- and this library has a really good cookbook collection. The recipe comes from her "Austrian" grandmother who arrived in New York sometime in the 1880's. I know Austria could mean anywhere in the Austro-Hungarian Empire but "gegleistener" is either German or Yiddish, from the construction and sound of it. Gegleistener Matzo is basically a kind of a matzah brei for a meat meal. The individual matzah (or half of a square matzah) is briefly run under hot water, dipped into eggs into which a grated onion has been beaten and slowly fried in schmaltz. It can be made ahead, frozen and reheated to be served. It sounds delicious, albeit unhealthy. A clue might be that the preferred matzah is Rakusen's round "tea matzos" --but not the cracker size. Rakusen is an English brand so I don't know if that's also a clue. I'd be grateful for any translation of "gegleistener" , Many thanks and Gemar Chatima Tovah! Liza Stabler Elizabeth F.
