Traditional German Dishes<\/h2>\n

These 10 dishes represent different parts of Germany and its culture\u2014even its history.<\/p>\n

Bratwurst<\/em><\/h3>\n

\"Bratwurst\"<\/p>\n

Since a number of American cities host mini-Oktoberfests in the fall, many of us are familiar with this classic. No matter where you go in Germany you are sure to encounter Bratwurst<\/i>, a sausage usually made of beef, pork, or veal.<\/p>\n

The earliest documented evidence of\u00a0Bratwurst<\/i>, which today has some 40 regional varieties,\u00a0<\/i>dates back to the 14th<\/sup>\u00a0century in Nuremberg, a city still known for its production of sausages.<\/p>\n

The way it is prepared is region-specific,\u00a0 usually grilled or fried and often served as a snack with a\u00a0Br\u00f6tchen<\/i>\u00a0(bread roll). Many Germans also enjoy eating\u00a0Bratwurst<\/i>\u00a0with hot mustard.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re from Wisconsin, a U.S. state where the largest ethnic group is German, you may be familiar with\u00a0Bratwurst<\/i>\u00a0as it was brought and popularized there by German immigrants in the 1920s.<\/p>\n

Sauerbraten<\/em><\/h3>\n

\"Sauerbraten\"<\/p>\n

One of Germany\u2019s best known dishes abroad,\u00a0Sauerbraten\u00a0<\/i>is a pot roast that can be made with different meats (for example: beef, lamb, pork, horse, or venison) and is often served during the colder months of the year.<\/p>\n

Before cooking this dish, the meat is marinated for days. While the ingredients of the marinade vary from region to region, it may consist of herbs, spices, vinegar, and red or white wine.<\/p>\n

For example, regions of Germany that are closer to France tend to use red wine as the base. If you\u2019re looking for a unique yet traditional dish for your holiday dinner, try your hand at Sauerbraten<\/i>!<\/p>\n

Sp\u00e4tzle<\/em><\/h3>\n

\"Sp\u00e4tzle\"<\/p>\n

German cuisine is generally heavy on the meat. However,\u00a0Sp\u00e4tzle<\/i>, common in the south of Germany, is one of the few exceptions.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sp\u00e4tzle\u00a0<\/i>is a kind of noodle or dumpling whose main ingredients are eggs, flour, and salt. It can be served alone as a main dish, as in\u00a0K\u00e4sesp\u00e4tzle<\/i>,\u00a0which is\u00a0<\/i>served with grated Emmenthaler cheese and fried onions.<\/p>\n

But most commonly,\u00a0Sp\u00e4tzle<\/i>\u00a0accompanies a meat dish that usually has a rich gravy or sauce (like the aforementioned\u00a0Sauerbraten<\/i>).<\/p>\n

Leberk\u00e4se<\/em><\/h3>\n

\"Leberkase\"<\/p>\n

Literally \u201cliver cheese,\u201d\u00a0Leberk\u00e4se<\/i>\u00a0is a pink meatloaf usually made of corned beef, but can also include pork and onions.<\/p>\n

Popular in the south of Germany, it is made by grinding the meat and then baking it as a loaf until it has a brown crust.\u00a0Leberk\u00e4se<\/i>\u00a0is usually served hot on a bread roll and can be eaten with mustard.<\/p>\n

According to Germany\u2019s food laws, a product advertised as\u00a0Leberk\u00e4se<\/i>\u00a0must have a minimum liver content of 4% (unless it is\u00a0Bavarian<\/i>\u00a0Leberk\u00e4se<\/i>\u00a0which does not have any liver).<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re ever in the south of Germany, make sure to give it a try! You may like it more than your mom\u2019s meatloaf!<\/p>\n

Maultaschen<\/em><\/h3>\n

\"Maultaschen\"<\/p>\n

Maultaschen<\/i> (mouth pockets\/bags) originated in the German region of Swabia in the federal state of Baden-W\u00fcrttemberg and it is essentially a pasta dough dumpling that is traditionally filled with meat, eggs, onions, spinach, parsley and spices.<\/p>\n

Similar to the Italian ravioli, Maultaschen\u00a0<\/i>are usually square or rectangular in shape. They can also be served in soup!<\/p>\n

In 2009, the EU began protecting this Swabian specialty under the label of\u00a0Schw\u00e4bische Maultaschen<\/i>. The new law says that\u00a0Maultaschen<\/i>\u00a0can only be made in Baden-W\u00fcrttemberg or in the historically Swabian district of Bavaria and that they must be made following specific guidelines. As you can see, food is a big part of one\u2019s regional identity!<\/p>\n

Currywurst<\/em><\/h3>\n

\"Currywurst\"<\/p>\n

This fast food dish can be found everywhere in Germany, but it is especially popular in its hometown of Berlin.<\/p>\n

In 1949, Herta Heuwer acquired curry powder and ketchup from British soldiers stationed in war-torn Berlin. She decided to serve a steamed and then fried pork sausage with a mixture of these two ingredients and voil\u00e0,\u00a0Currywurst<\/i>\u00a0was born.<\/p>\n

She began to sell it cheaply at a stand and it became popular with construction workers who were rebuilding the city. More than six decades later,\u00a0Currywurst<\/i> is still widely popular and often served with either a Br\u00f6tchen\u00a0<\/i>or\u00a0Pommes<\/em>\u00a0(french fries).<\/p>\n

K\u00f6nigsberger Klopse<\/em><\/h3>\n

\"K\u00f6nigsberger<\/p>\n

Named after the Prussian city of K\u00f6nigsberg (which is now known as Kaliningrad, Russia) where it was invented around 200 years ago, this dish consists of veal meatballs in a creamy white sauce made with capers and lemon juice.<\/p>\n

It is traditionally served with boiled potatoes. The meatballs usually also contain onions, eggs, pepper, and other spices, and the traditional recipe also calls for anchovy. In the States, it is referenced as Swedish Meatballs\u00a0\u2013\u00a0<\/em>and be pleasantly surprised, they don\u2019t taste anything like the dish at Ikea.<\/em><\/p>\n

Stollen<\/em><\/h3>\n

\"Stollen\"<\/p>\n

For those sugar cravings,\u00a0Stollen<\/i>\u00a0might just be what you\u2019re looking for. Usually eaten around Christmas time,\u00a0Stollen<\/i>\u00a0is a bread made of dried or candied fruit, marzipan, nuts like almonds, and spices like cinnamon and cardamom.<\/p>\n

It is usually topped with powdered sugar! The most famous\u00a0Stollen<\/i>\u00a0originates in the city of Dresden, where the annual\u00a0Stollenfest\u00a0<\/i>is held.<\/i><\/p>\n

The festival takes place on the second Saturday in December, or the second Advent weekend. The city\u2019s Stollen\u00a0<\/i>measures three to four tons! If you find yourself in Saxony around Christmastime someday, don\u2019t miss out on this celebration \u2013 and eat your piece of the cake!<\/p>\n

Prinzregententorte<\/em><\/h3>\n

\"Prinzregententorte\"<\/p>\n

For those of you who would like something even sweeter than\u00a0Stollen<\/i>, the\u00a0Prinzregententorte<\/i>\u00a0will not disappoint.<\/p>\n

This popular Bavarian pastry is to Munich what the famous Sachertorte is to Vienna. A\u00a0Prinzregententorte<\/i> is a rich, multilayered cake with chocolate buttercream layers and\u2014if that wasn\u2019t enough\u2014it is covered in a devilish chocolate glaze. It may also be filled with various types of creams and jams!<\/p>\n

It is believed to be named after the Prince Regent Luitpold of Bavaria in the late 19th century.<\/p>\n

Schnitzel<\/em><\/h3>\n

\"Schnitzel<\/p>\n

Schnitzel<\/em> is a piece of pork, veal or chicken that is pounded thin, breaded and then deep-fried until it reaches a delicious golden hue. It’s often so big that it extends beyond the size of the dinner plate.<\/p>\n

This fried-up goodness is served with a lemon wedge, some sort of berry-based sauce (like lingonberry) and some sort of potato side\u2014French fries or potato salad.<\/p>\n

The largest variety of schnitzel is called Wiener schnitzel<\/em>, which means schnitzel<\/em> in the Vienna style, which is made from veal.<\/p>\n

Ordering Food in German<\/h2>\n

Ordering food in German is very similar to ordering food in your country, most likely. If it’s a self-service place, you walk up to the counter to order. If not, a server will come around a few minutes after you sit down.<\/p>\n

Here are two useful phrases for ordering in German, with examples included:<\/p>\n

Ich m\u00f6chte…<\/strong><\/em> \u2014 I would like…<\/p>\n

Ich m\u00f6chte einen Apfelsaft.<\/strong><\/em> \u2014 I would like an apple juice.<\/p>\n

Ich h\u00e4tte gern…<\/strong><\/em> \u2014 I would like…<\/p>\n

Ich h\u00e4tte gern zwei Br\u00f6tchen bitte.<\/strong><\/em> \u2014 I would like two bread buns please.<\/p>\n
