Schneebällchen also called Schneebällscher is the German word which literally means "snow balls" refer to Saarland's national dish (Saarländisches Nationalgericht).
Schneebällchen are potato dumplings (Kartoffelklosse or Kartoffelkloße) made from a mixture of mashed potatoes, eggs, flour, salt and pepper, muscat powder and shaped into balls or more specifically "snow balls".
They are served as a side dish for the hearty meat dishes of Saarland.
Kartoffelklosse or Kartoffelkloße is also known in other parts of Germany as Kartoffelknödel
Schnittlauch is the German word for "Chives". After cutting them in small pieces, my mother use it as toppings for her delicious Pancit Bihon, a noodle dish in the Philippines. In Germany, when it is in season and there are so many that sprung in my garden, I used them as ingredients together with onions and tomatoes for everything that I cook or as toppings for salads.
Here is the picture of Schnittlauch that shows "spring has sprung".
