Blubluh:
Are you serious?!?!?
Machine Kneidlach?!?
90% of the taam of kneidlach comes from the kavanos of the baal or baalas bayis that is making them.
The widely accepted shita of the Shtusenstuffer Rebbe is that with the forming of each and every kneidel, one should say “l’kavod Shabbas kodesh” as they are lovingly dropped into the boiling water.
Machine Kneidlach? Feh!
