Traditional German Sausages
A long tradition of sausage-making exists in Germany; more than 1,500 different types of
sausage are made.
There are many regional specialties, such as the Münchner weißwurst (Munich white
sausage) popular in Bavaria or the currywurst (a steamed pork sausage sliced and spiced
with curry ketchup) popular in the metropolitan areas of Berlin.
They are commonly eaten as street food, but you’ll also find them served on a plate with
sauerkraut and mustard in restaurants for very decent prices.
Brezeln (Pretzel)
German pretzels or Brezeln are a requirement when you visit Germany. You’ll find it sold on
the streets and in major supermarkets or grocery stores.
Big thick pretzels are usually sold lightly salted or with sesame seeds on them. You can eat
them on their own or dip them into some hearty mustard. It wouldn’t be Germany without a
decent pretzel.
