Comment: "I'm going to go with this one as two people quoted dictionary references for it, but everyone's comments were interesting, particularly Christiane's remarks about it being a purely Swabian term."

Maureen Holm, J.D., LL.M.
: "Hearty" is the ticket. Beans and rice are 'filling', but they're not hearty, and wouldn't be set off with a sweet garnish. Porkchops, on the other hand, get that dollop of applesauce, a Thanksgiving turkey, the cranberry sauce, lamb curry, the chutney.

locally available/local
habhaft = einheimisch ????
Makes a lot of sense to me, since local foods are easily 'habhaft' or easily accessible. Also, your text looks at food from a political-historical viewpoint of a certain area, so imo, my suggestion might work for you.

Das ist offenbar schwäbisch :-). War mir bisher auch unbekannt - für mich bedeuetete das bis heute "available".
Aber schwäbische Rezeptseiten meinen:
habhaft = mit viel Substanz
(Außer Spätzle kannte ich bisher nichts Schwäbisches - shame on me ;-))

I have to withdraw my agree to \"locally available\" - sorry :-(.
It\'s just that I don\'t speak Suebian. But now I know better.
Please cf. the link.

I agree with \"jerrie\" after all. Sorry about that.
