Would you believe this is the ONLY recipe on the web for this?? I used to make this with my mother when I was a kid, although we made the highly simplified version with ham (ground in a cast-iron grinder), egg noodles, and butter. I believe the closest Americanized spelling is "Fliechke," which Google apparently wants me to change to "Flikr." Go figure! At any rate, I'm very excited to see this recipe that seems so very close to how my family describes the way it "used" to be made. Thanks! =D

I make a simplified version of this and my guys love it. I saute chopped onion in butter, add in cubes of ham to heat through and then add this to cooked and drained egg noodles. I garnish with chopped parsley and then add some grated parmesan cheese to each persons liking as it is served.

My great grandparents were Czech and immigrated to the US around 1917-1920... my great grandmother used to make this dish for my grand father -it also goes by fleichke (spelling qustionable ;p). It is now a family tradition we try to carry on (in Australia) for special occasions one of only 2 Czech dishes in the family. My dad makes it for us using dry pasta and a fresh ham hock boiled til the meat falls of the bone. The pasta is then boiled in the hock water before being combined with the ham hock meat and extra cubed ham and baked in the oven as per your recipe. Great to see that this recipe is out there for others to cook! =)
