“Yum” is the Same in Every Language. Want to experience some of the most delightful, dazzling foods the world has to offer? Look no further than Germany, where you’ll find something for every palate.
First, if you’re someone who knows the value of a great adult beverage, Germany is going to be a paradise for you.

Here, beer and wine is a specialty, and you’ll never taste anything like these brews and vinos in the States. Simply stated, if you’re going to get inebriated, do so with one of these fabulous potent potables!

Germans are also know for their sausages, aka “wiener schnitzel” and “bratwurst”, packed with many different kinds of meat and spices. And you won’t go hungry; these links aren’t for the timid. Here, you’ll be dining on huge portions (of everything, so wear something stretchy…) You can even order them on the streets from vendors (similar to the hot dog ones you’ll find in America.)

The other food item you’ll see plenty of are potatoes served about a million different ways (give or take.) Fried with onions and bacon or mashed into a pancake, the spud wins points with both Germans and tourists alike!

Finally, there’s potato salad, much more flavorful and definitely tastier than you’ve ever had from your local deli. And cheese – ah, the Germans do love their cheeses! Allow yourself to indulge in some of the finest dairy products this side of heaven during your visit. Though it might be a diet-buster, it’s worth the splurge.

The end of your meal is likely to be just as spectacular as the beginning, with chocolates and rich, heavy desserts. Just beware – Germans expect you to clean your plate and will scold you if you do otherwise. So if you aren’t going to finish what you start, be prepared for this eventuality.
