No one knows who was the first mom to name this “The Schmoo”, but interestingly, “…the actual origin of Al Capp’s word “shmoo” has been the subject of debate by linguists for decades, leading to the misconception that the term was derived from “schmo” or “schmooze.” However, “shmue” was a taboo Yiddish term for the uterus. Introduced to this “Winnipeg Specialty” in last month’s The Canadian Food Experience Project Round Up via Tummy Grumbles, I knew instantly that I had to make it. It certainly tastes far better than it looks. It could be missed if you don’t know what you are looking for, but ask, and you will find it, if visiting that Pretty Windy City. Sadly, some just travel in the wrong circles, and don’t even know this is a local specialty… though it is sold in several local bakeries. The Canadian Winnipeg Schmoo Cake is regionally famous in Winnipeg Manitoba where Jewish mothers bake this ooey-gooey wonder for their sons when they become “of age” and other Winnipegers have caught on.
