Popular Food and Drinks in Germany

-

Some people eat to live while others live to eat’. This holds true, particularly for Germans. Germans are passionate foodies and their love for food can be seen with the range of German food festivals. This festive season starts with their favourite drink, i.e., wine.

 Given below are some popular food and drinks in Germany that everyone should try at least once in their lifetime.

Currywurst




Currywurst is a world-famous made from sausage wrapped in ‘darm’. It is smeared with curry-flavoured ketchup with heat varying from mild to burning hot. Currywurst was initially invented in Germany and has become a sensational German street food. It is usually served with chips.

Beer



 Each region in Germany has its own speciality with regards to its wine. Age old German culture and its laws specify that beer must only contain water, yeast, hops, and malt. German beer is famous not only for its quality but also its quantity.

Spätzle




Spätzle is a vegetarian dish and is a kind of pasta. The dough is made from flour, salt, eggs, and a hint of fizzy water. It is normally topped with a huge amount of cheese. The mountain cheese adds to its taste, and the Limburger adds to its consistency.

Wine





 It is a waste of trip visiting Germany and not tasting its authentic wine. The Rhine produces some quality white wine and is well known for its Riesling. Stuttgart Wine festival is one of the most famous of many German festivals of wine.
.

Bratwurst




Made of pork, Bratwurst is a part of every German barbeque party. Ten size varies depending on the region. The short and thin ones are popular in Nurnberg, while the big and fat ones are popular outside Nurnberg. The delicious Bratwurstsemmelis made from grilled Bratwurst put in a bum and served with ketchup.


Coffee




Grab a drink from any restaurant and its worth every penny. Initially only the wealthy could afford it, but thankfully the game has changed for the good. Coffee in itself is a statement and there no reason to justify its popularity.

Bratkartoffeln





There’s no better way to have the everyday portion of potatoes than eating it as Bratkartoffeln. It is crispy and a regular dish made in Germany. It is prepared by slicing boiled potatoes thinly and frying them with a lot of oil till it turns dark and crispy. Bacon and onions also enhance its flavour

Sauerbraten




Every kid visiting their grandparents in Germany has had their share of this mouth-watering dish. Sauerbraten is translated as sour roast and is served usually during special occasions. It is made from high-quality pieces of meat and marinated for around three to ten days in a mixture of herbs, seasonings, spices, water and vinegar/wine. The meat is cooked for hours, but the result is an incredibly tender and juicy dish.
These are some of the most famous German food and drinks. These have preserved their legacy and have not lost their flavour since ages. They deserved to be on the list of everybody’s must-try food in Germany.

The passion & zest for owning the best & stylish footwear there is within their inner circle, has undoubtedly driven men to own the best they can afford. There’s also a lore behind why men love shoes as reflected in shoemaker John Wildsmith’s cleverly-devised statement.

You may have put your best suit on for that office party, spent a lot of time and money on grooming yourself for the evening and done pretty much everything in your powers to make an impression on your colleagues on the evening but all that would count for nothing if you goof up with your choice of formal footwear. Yes, shoes have the power to make or break your look; all the more if you are talking of formal shoes. This is why it often makes sense for you to experiment with what you wear to formal events. Agreed that those black formal shoes for men or any pair of branded formal shoes for men in general is a much safer option, but more often than not it won’t get you noticed. What else do you expect when 9 out of 10 people at the occasion are wearing the exact same thing?  This is a where a pair of classic moccasins comes in really handy. Moccasins are not the same as loafers! The first thought to come to your mind when you talk of moccasins would pretty much be, “Wait! Isn
