German
Food
Many people know
the foods of other nations. Many do not realize that
quite a few of the recipes they eat today had their
start in Germany! That's right, many of your American
favorites were actually German Food.
If you love German
Cuisine (Food) then you are going to love this webpage.
If you are not sure and just want to try it then you
are in the right place. We have taken lots of great
links below to recipes that you will enjoy.
Thinking of German
cuisine (foods) as of a mix of Beer & Sausage would
be an unforgivable simplification of this very fine
German Foods tradition. Many what we think of as
American Foods got their start in Germany. Meatloaf,
Deviled Eggs, Hot Dogs (frankfurters, bratwurst etc...)
, Hamburgers (bouletten) , and many more. Schnitzel
is similar veal parmesan.
German appreciation
of healthy, well-prepared foods served with care is
well known. Everyone who loves to have a good meal will
be impressed by German cooking.
There are hundreds
of different dishes and beverages many of which are
typical only to some German regions. You are not likely
to find many of these dishes in any other country than
Germany.
Of course you should
try the many wonderful German Foods. From the Konditionarei
where you will find many great German pastries, to the
street side Schnell Imbiss with it's many German fast
food specialties like Curry Wurst, Bratwurst, Pommes
Frites, Fleish Spiese, Kabobs, etc., and when you make
it to your local German restaurant you can pick from
many traditional recipes.
