In this article, we will introduce you to some of the best examples of German food that we offer at our events, from sausages and schnitzels to cakes and cookies. Whether you are a meat lover, a vegetarian, or a sweet tooth, you will find something to suit your taste buds.
Sausages
You can’t have a list of popular German dishes without mentioning sausages. Germany has more than 40 varieties of bratwurst, each with its own flavor and texture. Some of the most common ones are:
- Weisswurst: A white sausage made from veal and pork, seasoned with parsley, lemon, mace, onions, ginger, and cardamom. It is usually served with sweet mustard and pretzels.
- Currywurst: A fried pork sausage cut into slices and topped with ketchup mixed with curry powder. It is a street food classic that originated in Berlin after World War II.
- Nürnberger Rostbratwurst: A small and thin sausage made from pork and marjoram. It is grilled over a beechwood fire and served with sauerkraut or potato salad.
At our events, you can enjoy a variety of sausages with different sauces and breads. They are perfect for snacking or as a main course.
Schnitzel
Schnitzel is another iconic German dish that consists of a thin, breaded, and pan-fried veal, pork, or chicken cutlet. The most famous version is the Wiener Schnitzel, which originated in Vienna, Austria, but became popular in Germany as well. It is usually served with lemon wedges, potato salad, or fries.
Another popular variation is the Zigeunerschnitzel, which is topped with a spicy sauce made from bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, mushrooms, wine, and paprika. It is also known as gypsy schnitzel or paprika schnitzel.
At our events, you can try different kinds of schnitzels with various toppings and sides. They are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
Käsespätzle
Käsespätzle is a cheesy pasta dish that is popular in cozy Munich pubs in winter. Spätzle are small egg noodles that are handmade or pressed through a colander into boiling water. They are then mixed with grated cheese (usually Emmentaler or Gruyère) and fried onions. The result is a creamy and comforting dish that warms you up on a cold day.
At our events, you can enjoy käsespätzle as a vegetarian option or as a side dish for meat dishes. They are rich and satisfying.
Sauerbraten
Sauerbraten is a traditional pot roast that is marinated in vinegar, wine, spices, and herbs for several days before being cooked until tender. The marinade gives the meat a sour and tangy flavor that contrasts with the sweetness of the gravy. The gravy is thickened with crushed gingerbread or lebkuchen, which adds more depth and complexity to the dish.
Sauerbraten can be made with different kinds of meat, such as beef, venison, lamb, or horse. It is usually served with dumplings, noodles, or mashed potatoes and red cabbage or sauerkraut.
At our events, you can taste sauerbraten as one of our main courses. It is a hearty and flavorful dish that showcases the art of German cooking.
Black Forest Cake
No list of popular German dishes would be complete without mentioning dessert. And one of the most famous German desserts is the Black Forest cake, or Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte. This cake consists of layers of chocolate sponge cake soaked with cherry brandy, whipped cream, and cherries. It is decorated with more whipped cream, chocolate shavings, and maraschino cherries.
The cake is named after the Black Forest region in southwestern Germany, where the cherry brandy is produced. It is also the origin of the cuckoo clocks and the traditional costumes that we wear at our events.
At our events, you can indulge in a slice of Black Forest cake as a sweet treat. It is moist, creamy, and decadent.
