Especially in the summer, the so-called “Badisches Dreierlei” (Baden trio) is particularly popular. This is a curd named “Bibeleskäs”, served with fried potatoes (“Brägele”) and sausage salad.
The various spellings of the quark are noteworthy. In addition to the standard “Bibeleskäs” version, there are also variations such as Bibbeleskäs, Bibbiliskäs, and Bibiliskäs – depending on which part of the region you happen to be in. The name has Alemannic origins. There, “Bibbeli” refers to the small lumps that form when you make quark yourself and press it through a quark strainer.
Bibeleskäs is often served at seasonal wine taverns. These are the rustic wine taverns run by local winemakers, which open their doors for a few weeks in the spring and fall. There, guests are treated to regional specialties and wine made on the premises. But the Baden trio can also be found on the menu at many other restaurants.
