Food in Munich
There’s somewhat a laid-back attitude with the people here in Munich. Beer halls, taverns, restaurants, cafes and streets are always filled with masses. A popular tradition in Munich is of course beer drinking, we opted to taste a different Bavarian specialty instead – the food of course!
What we most readily associate Germany (food wise) with is of course the sausage. They call it wursts here. Sausages are usually served on a bed of sauerkraut, which is essentially boiled and pickled cabbage. Sausages here are amazing – the texture, taste and how its properly served. And despite not being entirely a meat lover – I’m dazzled by the sheer passion for meat of all sizes, cuts and taste as I walk through the local food market.
We dived into a typical Bavarian platter at a famous beer hall. This time is of pork knuckle, sausages (again), pan-fried duck, dumpling and sauerkraut. Hearty, fatty, warm and delicious – needless to say we walked back to our hostel in absolute satisfaction.

Actually Kaiserschmarrn is Austrian http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaiserschmarrn although one could argue Austria was once part of Germany, or rather Bavaria. But definitely super yummy!

Yeah, Austria, Germany and even Budapest shares a lot of traditional meals. Much like Msia and Spore fighting to claim what’s traditionally theirs!!:)
Thanks for the wiki note tho! Yeah it was very yummy – I don’t mind having some now!! (unfortunately in Greece…:)
