If you’re a food traveler who likes nothing more than discovering novel and little known dishes around the world, then you need to pay Germany a visit. Not as well known around the world as French, Italian or Spanish food, German cuisine has a good claim to be higher up the list.
Here are 5 dishes that you should be sure to sample on your visit to Germany.
Wurst
Germany is probably best known for its sausages. There are over 1500 varieties of sausage in Germany, each with its own unique blend of meats, herbs and spices.
Rouladen
This meaty feast is made from a mix of bacon, mustard, pickles and herbs wrapped in thinly sliced beef or veal.
Apfelstrudel
Flakey buttery pastry filled with apples, cinnamon, sugar, and raisins. Delicious! It is often served with a coating of icing sugar or a dusting of powdered sugar.
Königsberger Klopse
These German meatballs are served with boiled or roasted potatoes and a creamy white sauce. The meatballs are filled with onions, potatoes, eggs, capers, and a variety of herbs and spices for added punch.
Kartoffelpuffer
A little like Germany’s answer to the onion bhaji, they are shallow pan-fried grated potato mixed with flour, egg, onion, and a mixture of aromatic herbs. You can serve them with either sweet or savory toppings.
