I am not aware of any specific tradition, but my mother is from Essen, NRW, and she sometimes bakes Igel during the autumn season. My husband on the other hand is from Wuppertal, also NRW, and he had never seen such a thing before my mother presented him with her home-made ones. He’s only aware of Mettigel, which are made from meat.

I’ve never seen them, but now I’m obsessed!
