We are incredibly grateful to Ron Stecher, one of our valued customers, who shared his remarkable journey and insights with us. Born in Melbourne with German as his first language, Ron’s passion for herbs, spices, and condiments comes from his early experiences with his mother, Li von Baggo. Together, they navigated the fascinating world of German and English names for various ingredients. Inspired by his late mother’s memory, Ron took the time to create a comprehensive Dueutsch/English list, complete with pictures, to help others better understand the language of herbs and spices. His dedication to this project is truly inspiring, and we’re honored to have this chart displayed at OzWurst. We encourage all our customers to share their unique experiences, knowledge, or any useful information with us, as we would love to highlight your stories and contributions on our website. If you have questions, comments, or ideas to share, please don’t hesitate to reach out—Ron’s story is a testament to the value of community and shared knowledge. Alles gute!
“I was born in Melbourne, though German was my first language, as in basic German that a child speaks. As an adult, whenever I discussed herbs, spices and condiments with my Balto-german mother, Li von Baggo, she knew the German names, and I knew the English. I decided that one day, I would make a comprehensive Dueutsch/English list with pictures. Mama is long departed, but I finally got around to it. She would have loved this, and I hope you do too. If I’ve made any mistakes, or if you have questions or comments, I welcome your email. And many thanks to my good friends at OzWurst for displaying this chart. Alles gute!”
