Why and how the text could be Bavarian
   
Interrogative words in German always begin with a ‘W’: wo, was, wie, wer, wann, warum, etc.
In Latin, on the other hand, they begin with ‘qu’: qua, qui, que, quo, etc.
When I look at recipes, ‘lot/lott’ is often used in German to indicate quantity.
But so are ‘quentin’ and ‘quantum’.
In Latin, however, ‘lot’ is not used (I’ve never seen it), but ‘quentin’ and ‘quantum’ are.
Now there’s a ‘qu’ explosion in recipes. But only in recipes.
