What is "eintopf"

Eintopf is a traditional type of German stew which can consist of a great number of ingredients. Technically, the term refers to a way of cooking the ingredients in one pot, not to any specific recipe.

Many different regional specialty recipes for Eintopf are known in Germany; for example, the Kassel area has a type called Lumpen und Fleeh ("rags and fleas" in the local dialect), which is quite similar to Irish stew.
