In Dutch it means "to try" now (according to babelfish anyway), so the context is going to be very important.
If it's Rumpolt (which I use quite often in experimenting with vegetable dishes) it's a noun anyway, not a verb. http://clem.mscd.edu/~grasse/GK_Rumpolt1.htm Further down it's taken to mean food of many nations. The page on the farmer's banquet suggests it means tradition. http://clem.mscd.edu/%7Egrasse/GK_Banquets1.htm I think it may have to do with dressing the dish. I didn't see anything under the fish section that suggested the dishes were from different nations. But I did see a sauce and other flavourings. There was one recipe that was in a "turkish manner" but that was the only one I saw specified. But then the entire book is not translated there so there may be more regional dishes than there appears. Either way fits in with the usage of the term in clothing.
