I do like spaetzle, though.
How do you manage to drain the soup out? I usually let the dumpling cool, bite it, suck out the soup, then eat the dumpling. I need to work on my technique.
Good call on Wikipedia -- hard to envision the soup dumpling if you haven't ever had one.
Draining hot soup into the spoon works for me. Not saying that it doesn't get messy sometimes...
