'Polterabend' is a German tradition. In former times it happened the day before marriage, nowadays, where weddings are planned as if life were a plan, not just an accidentally happening phase of time conciousness, 'Polterabend' may happen some time somewhere before the marriage, and because Germans believe in broken fragments bringing luck, they fragmentize their old dishes, for the bridal pair may be lucky a lifetime long... This parts of a 'Polterabend' I found accidentally in Frankfurt Schwanheim and immortalized them here for your and my pleasure.
