Frankfurter Grüne Sauce, locally known as Grie Soß1, is a dish of seven or more herbs that is traditionally eaten on Gründonnerstag ( Maundy Thursday) in Frankfurt. Rumour says it was Frankfurt's most famous son Goethe's favourite dish and that he asked his mother, Katharina Elisabeth Textor-Goethe, known locally as Aja Textor2, to serve it on the Thursday before Easter.
