Maybe the best funeral potatoes recipe?

That funeral potato is too geil for me. (Sorry, this is the correct word...)

Here is the BEST one, THE original, only now, only for you...

The ingredients may vary; for example I like it with more onion (even common, not red ones) and less sugar. --- the "day after booze" version ---

Did you say geil in the german slang sense? Or it's literal german meaning? :)

None of. As Hungary was part of Austro-Hungarian-Empire, we have a lot of German words naturalized, and the meaning distorted. See tapir, steel and weapon for more!

Geil --- for us --- is something too sweet (makes one to squint) or something too fatty (makes indigestion) or any savour exaggerated.

As Mormonism is. Too good to be true...



by the way try the recipe, and evaluate!

That makes a lot more sense. :) Geil in german is basically horny, or something arousing. It was coming into vogue as a slang term for something being cool or hot or awesome or whatever while I was in Switzerland/Germany as a missionary. You can imagine we were cautioned from using it by members because...well, for obvious reasons. You can't have missionaries going around saying, "That Porsche makes my dick hard" in fewer less obviously crude words.
