GERMAN CUISINE
German cuisine has evolved as a national cuisine through centuries of social and political change with variations from region to region.
The southern regions of Germany, including Bavaria and neighbouring Swabia, share many dishes. Furthermore, across the border in Austria one will find many similar dishes.
However, ingredients and dishes vary by province. There are many significant regional dishes that have become both national and regional. Many dishes that were once regional, however, have proliferated in different variations across the country into the present day.
Pretzels are especially common in the South of Germany. German regional cuisine can be divided into many varieties such as Bavarian cuisine (Southern Germany), Thuringian (Central Germany), Lower Saxon cuisine or those of Saxony Anhalt.
The Eichstrich
All cold drinks in bars and restaurants are sold in glasses with a calibration mark (Eichstrich) that is frequently checked by the Eichamt (Bureau of Weights and Measures) to ensure that the guest is getting as much as is offered in the menu. The Eichamt is a public authority controlling all measurements in sales, health care and so on i.e. each scale in a German butcher shop or physician’s office carries a stamp from the Eichamt, including a date of expiration, to show the weight is correct.
If the liquid of a served drink is below that line, the guest may refuse the drink or require a correctly filled one. A common rule for beer - with foam - is that the liquid-foam-line must not be more than one centimetre below the Eichstrich, otherwise a Munich resident could refuse the Maß at the Oktoberfest.
Specialities from the Former German Democratic Republic
The cuisine of the former German Democratic Republic (GDR or East Germany) differed in several ways from the cuisine of West Germany and today’s united Germany.
East German cuisine was strongly influenced by Russian, Hungarian, Bulgarian and other EasternEuropean countries from the 1960s on. East Germans travelled abroad to these countries on holiday and immigrants to East Germany from these countries brought their dishes with them. A typical dish that came to the East German kitchen this way is Soljanka.
Another dissimilarity was the lack of certain spices in the GDR. Oregano, for example, was totally unknown and the price of garlic and Worcestershire sauce reached extremes. Lemon juice had to be replaced
with vinegar and instead of capers, Marsh Marigold buds soaked in brine were used. While cooking with wine (as is typical in the wine growing regions of Franconia and Hesse) was known, the lack of good wine on the East German market reserved this for special occasions. For these reasons Ragout fin (commonly known as Würzfleisch) became a highly sought after delicacy.
Foreign Influences
With the influx of foreign workers after World War II, many foreign dishes have been adopted into German cuisine - Italian dishes like spaghetti and pizza have become a staple of the German diet. Turkish immigrants also have had a considerable influence on German eating habits; Döner kebab is Germany’s favourite fast food, selling twice as much as the major burger chains put together (McDonald’s and Burger King being the only widespread burger chains in Germany).
Chinese and Greek foods also are widespread and popular. Indian, Vietnamese, Thai and other Asian cuisines are rapidly gaining in popularity. Many of the more expensive restaurants served mostly French dishes for decades.

WURST
A long tradition of sausage making exists in Germany, including hundreds of regional variations. There are more than 1500 different types of sausage (‘Wurst’ in Germany).
Most Wurst is still made by German sausage butchers (German: Metzger, Fleischer or Schlachter) with natural casings derived from pork, sheep or lamb intestine.
Among the most popular and most common are the Bratwurst (‘fry sausage’), usually made of ground pork and spices, the Wiener (‘Viennese’), which may be pork or pork/beef and is smoked
and fully cooked in a water bath, and Blutwurst (‘blood sausage’) or Schwarzwurst (‘black sausage’) made from blood (often of pigs or geese).
There are literally thousands of types of cold cuts. Regional specialties, such as the Münchner Weißwurst (‘Munich White Sausage’) popular in Bavaria or the Currywurst (a special version of the Bratwurst spiced with curry ketchup) popular in the metropolitan areas of Berlin, Hamburg and the Ruhr Area, can also be found from all regions of the country.

MEATS
Pork, beef, and poultry are the main varieties of meat consumed in Germany, with pork being the most popular. The average person in Germany will consume up to 61 kg (130 lb) of meat
in a year.
Among poultry, chicken is most common, although duck, goose, and turkey are also enjoyed. Game meats, especially boar, rabbit, and venison are also widely available all year round. Lamb and goatare also available, but are less popular.
Meat is usually pot roasted; pan fried dishes also exist, but these recipes usually originate from France. Several cooking methods used to soften often tough cuts have evolved into national specialties, including Sauerbraten (‘sour roast’), involving marinating beef or venison in a vinegar or wine vinegar mixture over several days. A long tradition of sausage making exists in Germany, including hundreds of regional variations.

FISH
Trout is the most common freshwater fish on the German menu; pike, carp, and European perch also are listed frequently
Seafood traditionally was restricted to the northern coastal areas, except for pickled herring, often served as Rollmops (a pickled herring fillet rolled into a cylindrical shape around a piece of pickled gherkin or onion) or Brathering (fried, marinated herring).
Today many sea fish, like,fresh herring, tuna, mackerel, salmon and sardines are well established throughout the country. Prior to the industrial revolution and the ensuing pollution of the rivers, salmon were common in the rivers of Rhine, Elbe, and Oder.
