No English letters have umlauts, so our family name went through a few spelling changes in the United States. Below is a German dish that is very popular, especially in the Black Forest region, bearing our family name in it's original spelling. Thanks, to my Son, Tyler, who is stationed in Wiesbaden, for the info, and says it taste great.

Schäufele, Schäuferle, Schäuferla or Schäufala the southern German name for the flat pork shoulder in Switzerland and South Baden is the piece called Schüfeli. Name is associated with the meat, schaufelförmige scapula.

As Schäufele are also traditional dishes from the flat shoulder means:

My grandmother, Stella on my Dad's side, passed down a recipe call Panhass, which translates in German to Pan Rabbit. The spelling on my Mom's version is Pahnhass and on my Dad's it's Ponicas. I present here both of their versions. My Dad is the only one alive, and he swears his is the correct version. Also, there is no rabbit in either recipe, but you could definitely use rabbit, as a matter of fact, this recipe is so basic, you could just about substitute anything you like. Both versions have different flavors. This is an old German dish and unlikely found in any English version German cookbooks.
