Swabian specialty

Remove the skin from the smoked ham sausage and cut into small cubes. Finely chop the onion and parsley and sauté in butter in a large pan, then add the ham sausage and continue to sauté. Cut the bread rolls into cubes and pour the hot milk over them. Mix well with a spoon and let stand for 30 minutes. Add the steamed mixture, eggs, flour, and spices to the bread rolls, mix well by hand, and season to taste. With wet hands, form tangerine-sized dumplings, let them dry slightly, and cook in a large pot of boiling meat broth for about 15 minutes. Serve the finished sausage dumplings in the broth or with potato salad and roasted buttered onions. A cucumber salad would also go well with this dish. Leftovers are also delicious sliced, toasted with an egg, and served with a fresh leaf salad the next day.
