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.
