A few words about German cuisine
That one probably won’t come as a surprise, but Germans are huge meat lovers:
pork, beef, sheep, boar, hare, types of poultry, you name it! The most popular way to eat meat is sausage and, of course, there are not only many types of it for many occasions but also many regional specialties. However, that’s not all German cuisine has to offer: many fish recipes, vegetable stews and soups, dumplings, noodles and potatoes dishes, and a variety of sweet baked goods.
