German Food

We’ve sampled a variety of traditional German food since we’ve been here.  Meat. Sauerkraut. Pretzels. Beer.  We’ve about done it all.

All of the food that we’ve had to date has been tasty.  We’ve had the traditional -- bratwurst, sauerkraut, and potato salad.  We’ve had spatzle (german pasta dish).  I had maultaschen, which is a meat pocket served in a beef broth with cooked onions.

We ate leberkäse -- which literally translated means “liver cheese.”  It’s a bavarian favorite of Monika, our guide in Munich.  It’s neither liver nor cheese, but described as a type of German meatloaf, and traditionally served with mustard.  I liken it to fried balogna.

Breakfast has been included at every hotel.  The typical German breakfast consists of various meats and cheeses, bread, fruit, yogurt, cereal, fruit, etc.  Our hotel in Füssen also had hot items like eggs and sausages.


Except breakfast, every meal is washed down with beer, and in our case, wine for the ladies.  I’ve been sampling the various wheat beers.  We’ve also had Turkish food and Italian food as well.  Every restaurant we’ve been to has been excellent.  The one restaurant we’ve not yet made it to is McDonald’s.  Perhaps another time.
