So far I've had traditional Bavarian food a few times here. But the kids here eat about the same food as we eat here like McDonalds and KFC. But I prefer German food. Here is a list of my favorite things I've had on my trip:
1. Butter pretzel: A giant pretzel hot out of the oven and smeared with butter at a local bakery is absolute paradise. The crunchy outside of the pretzel contrasts beautifully with the soft and chewy dough in the middle. The butter gives it flavor, making it the perfect quick snack.
2. Spätzle: A dish of miniature dumplings cooked to perfection in boiling water. I find it best with mushroom sauce. Although I've had Spätzle a few times at home, we never had true Bavarian Spätzle, which are longer and, in my opinion, better.
3. Wienerschnitzel: A truly wonderful food. Fine pork beaten down to a centimeter thick and breaded. In Germany it is served with lemons and a sauce of pig fat and seasoning, which combined were DELICIOUS!
4. Spargel: Giant, albino asparagi. Best served with butter. You can only get them in the springtime in Germany, so they are really a delicacy.
5. Lebersemmel: I don't like these quite as much as the others, but they're very cheap and you can find them almost anywhere. A pork liver patty wedged between two sesame buns and slathered with mustard, lebersemmels are a great after-school snack.

What do you mean? You like the Spaetzle here better than the ones at home? And by the way, Leberkaese doesn't have any liver in it, just called livercheese. Maybe historically it ued to have liver in it, but probably nobody like it.
ReplyDeleteThere is also a soup called Leberknoedel, kind of like mini meat spaetzle, I think you would like that to...
one never tires of the pretzels but the leberkaese can get old. some of those open face sammies in the baker can be pretty good. personally i really liked the pizza in germany. have you found a good donor kebab?

I'm looking forward to the spätzle with mushroom sauce. Don't forget the recipe! I will take the pretzels and jelly donuts for my after school snack.
ReplyDeleteAt our local baker pretzels are only 20-30 cents apiece!!! AWESOME price.
