Doch zerstreute er bald meine Besorgnisse, indem er fortfuhr:
»Natürlich so üppig geht es bei mir nicht her, ›so fett fiedelt Lux nich‹, nein, bei mir gibt es Pellkartoffeln mit Hering und Speckstippe, was für jeden guten Mecklenburger ein feines Gericht ist, und wo auch andere Nationen was für über haben.

But he soon dispelled my concerns by continuing: "Of course, I don't have such lavish meals, 'so fett fiedelt Lux nich', no, I have boiled potatoes with herring and bacon fat, which is a fine dish for any good Mecklenburger, and which other nations also find quite satisfying.

by markvanroode 2 months, 1 week agoMark- The meaning of 'so fett fiedelt Lux nich' is basically already given when he says 'Natürlich so üppig geht es bei mir nicht her,'
I'm not sure what 'Lux' means here, so unless we can find someone who knows (I asked my Father-in-law and he can't help either), perhaps we could just leave it as is in German?
Das letzte Teil 'wo auch andere Nationen was für über haben.' means other nationalities also quite like boiled potatoes with herring and bacon. Normally it would be 'was übrig haben' which means you quite like something.

Ich habe diese Bedeutung für Stippe gefunden: aus ausgebratenem Speck mit Mehl und Wasser oder Milch oder mit Essig, Zwiebeln, Quark oder Ähnliches, zubereitete breiige Soße.
