Googling to improve on my strudel a moment ago, I typed in "strudel", hit "images" and lo and behold look what came up!
This this and this.

Now maybe I have strudel stuck in my noodle, but I'm still confused. Dug out the ole Websters and it says "Strudel --- from Middle High German meaning whirlpool."

Whirlpool? What, pray tell, does a whirlpool have to do with a strudel?!? Maybe those High Germans were the ones with strudel on the noodle! Worse yet, how can we ever approve of the strudel, now that all has been revealed?
