Kitty Maerz Feb 25, 2009:
I agree that some additional context would be helpful. The "Köstlichkeiten" made me think of food but now I notice that this is in the area of "Arts" so maybe it is something totally different?
Helen Shiner Feb 25, 2009:
I had to look up 'high on the hog' which just goes to show I've never made it there. Obviously could also mean 'exquisite pieces' if an artwork or objet d'art, for example. Any further context, please?
Ken Cox Feb 25, 2009:
Pity Proz didn't think to provide those qualifications for restricting answerers ;-)

produced / fashioned /crafted à la xxx / after xxx / following xxx's example / in the tradition of x

I think I'd need to know what sort of delicacies/exquisite pieces these are in order to find the right verb. I find this 'im Zeichen des/der' comes up frequently. I take it that it comes from astrology and I have never yet found a catch-all way of translating it. So here are a few first stabs....
Peer comment(s):
agree Lancashireman : Hard to imagine anything 'higher on the hog' than 'à la'.

Thanks, Andrew
agree Stephen Reader : With you in craving a context, H. xxx might be a style/artefact/firm harked back to, or the producer of the delicacy here-&-now

Handmade delicacies paying tribute to the tradition of xxx

A number of possibilities offer themselves here from: ..."following in the tradition..." to simply "in the tradition of ..." Although "paying tribute" may not directly parallel the German structure, it captures the sense of the phrase.

true to (the) xxx tradition

A slight variant on Helen's & Eggsacion's. Yes it does need more context. Is xxx a manufacturer (arty chocolates? Fine china?) Is the public'n a local mag? An ad-brochure?

Reference:

im Zeichen / unter dem Zeichen

Oxford Duden dictionary made reference to the following (inter alia):

Zeichen:

er ist im Zeichen / unter dem Zeichen des Widders geboren - he was born under the sign of Aries

unter dem Zeichen von etw. stehen - to take place against a background of something

das Jahr 1979 stand unter dem Zeichen des Kindes - 1979 was the year of the child.

So, this tradition appears to be a background to which this production activity takes place.
Peer comments on this reference comment:
agree Helen Shiner : yes, it is used much more in German than English./I think I've also translated it as 'under the umbrella of', but that's clearly not suitable here. I won't ask if you are a Cancer, obviously ...!

Thank you Helen! As you said, it crops up in astrology (and also astronomy) a lot. I remember reading a lot of "im Zeichen des Krebses..." ;)
