Food – experience Germany’s different food culture
German cuisine is composed of a variety of regional cultures. The food culture is influenced by the immigrants’ kitchens, but not appreciably by the division in East and West. Somewhat simplified, the food of the regions can be described in two major units: North German and South German.
Northern German cuisine is very similar to the original Danish cuisine. Basic foods are sourdough bread made from rye, salt and smoked products, coarse vegetables and potatoes. A daily meal can be sandwiches.
In the southern German kitchens the variations are greater. Usually, potatoes are replaced by dough products in the form of dumplings (Knödel, Klösse) and pasta (Spätzle, Maultaschen). Soup is served at least one daily meal.
