Old bread dumplings or Czech dumplings are a traditional side dish in southern Germany, the Czech Republic and Austria.

They are served with roasted sauerkraut, roasted meat and mushrooms in a white sauce. Because old bread is used, they come from the kitchen of the poor, but in the meantime they have received the epithet of specialties so you can find them on the menu of restaurants with national cuisine.

At my place, they were a side dish to the beef goulash and we enjoyed a lunch that was different from the standard ones for our kitchen.
