@Shari86– well, Shari, my sister is a much-travelled culinary critic and she assures me that westphalia balls, although sounding austro-germanic, actually originate from the virgin islands of the caribbean, specifically Aruba Island which forms the western tip of the chain (hence the ‘west’ part of the name).
My shoe-worn sister says that the inhabitants of this island have a strange quasi-religion which involves the worship of penises, or more specifically, phallusses, in which they dance around a huge wooden penis-type sculpture whilst drinking a strange milky-white brew called ‘Chota’. Apparently, after the islanders have had their fill of Chota, and had a good dance around the big penis, they fall down and have a sleep, and upon waking they cook up a big batch of ‘west-island phallus balls’ or as we more commonly call them- westphalia balls!
I hope this answers your question.

These sound really interesting, where does the recipe originate? Where does the name Westphalia come from?
