English term or phrase: Murphy
Es handelt sich dabei um eine Zutat, die in der Küchenmaschine bearbeitet werden kann.
In der Tabelle steht unter Zutaten: Murphy, Melon, Carots

Kann mir jemand sagen, was das ist? Kann auch sein, dass es eine andere Sprache ist, da das englische Original ziemlich schlecht ist.
