The German main dishes contain: pork, beef, veal, fish and potatoes. The Germans love their bread, which is mainly a mix of wheat and rye flour, it is much darker and has a crust. Sauerkraut, Sausages and Brezeln (Pretzels) are surely the most famous German exports and in Germany you will find fresh bread, bread rolls and pretzels in the numerous bakeries. Even little villages often have more than two bakeries and you will have the choice of many different types of bread and rolls. Schweinebraten (roast pork knuckles) is very popular in Southern Germany while Rinderbraten (beef roast) is more popular in Northern Germany. Here is some typical German food: • Sauerkraut: probably the most famous vegetable associated with the Germans. It is eaten here with potatoes and meat, but not with fish. • Semmelknoedel: bread dumplings, eaten either with mushrooms in a creamy sauce or with meat dishes. • Spargel: white asparagus harvested in late April and May, has a very distinct flavour and is very healthy! • Black Forest Cake: delicious dark chocolate cake filled with cherries and cream. • Weisswurst: very pale veal sausage, cooked and eaten in Bavaria in the morning. • Stollen and Lebkuchen: Delicious cakes and ginger biscuits eaten at Christmas time in Germany.
