  1. The Latkes look very much like the German "Kartoffelpuffer", though you would get rid with some liquid, but not squeeze the potatoes totally dry. "Kartoffelpuffer" are usually eaten with some sugar sprinkle on top and apple sauce on the side.

  2. interesting. In German "schmalzig" (greasy) - or therefore "schmaltzy" is when a song or a scene is over the top kitschy.

  3. where do you live? In Central Europe it is in every Supermarket, probably in several variation: made from porc; from geese; already with onions or apples...

  4.  @bigDbigDbigD  here it is basically left-overs. For example when you roast a goose there is so much grease coming out: That is basically schmaltz and people keep it in a mug for later use. The same goes for bacon. If you fry it, the fat which is left is porc schmaltz.
