German cuisine
Schnitzel and sauerkraut
German cuisine is the traditional food and cooking of Germany.
It features hearty, meat-centered dishes: sausages (bratwurst, weisswurst), schnitzel, sauerbraten, and pork in various forms.
Potatoes, cabbage (especially as sauerkraut), rye bread, and mustard are staples.
Regional variations are significant—Bavaria differs from the Rhineland.
German cuisine also includes pretzels, spätzle, and rich desserts like Black Forest cake.
