Introduction Germany is one of the oldest European states with deep-rooted traditions and amazing cultural values. The guardians of them are every German. A significant aspect of Germany's life is its delicious food, sparkling wine and excellent beer. The national cuisine of Germany stands on three pillars. They are sausages, cabbage and beer.
2. Some historical facts about national cuisine. It so happened in Germany that the last German Kaiser Wilhelm II did not allow anyone to eat calmly, and to talk about food was considered to be indecent. After the end of World War I and the abdication of the Kaiser, the population couldn't catch up because of general poverty and hunger. Everything began to change as a result of the “economic miracle” after 1948. In the 50s the country was swept by a real wave of gluttony.
For dinner. Of the first courses, various broths are widespread: with egg, dumplings, rice and tomatoes; noodle soup, mashed soup of peas, cauliflower and chicken. In some areas of Germany, bread and beer soups are popular. Thick winter soups of Eintopfa are especially good in winter.
For supper. Pork legs with sauerkraut are very popular for supper in Germany. Sausages are widely used and, of course, a truly German dish that has won a worldwide fame, is sausages with stewed sauerkraut. Germans also like eating omelets with filling, cookies, cakes, plums and Stollen Strudel in the evening when they come back from their work.
conclusion. The main feature of the national German cuisine is a huge number of meat. Pork is used in many dishes, from roast meat to sausages. And in general, the traditional German cuisine is not dietary. The Germans love to eat very much. This is especially true for Bavaria, with its original and hearty dishes. And everywhere in Germany, national dishes are distinguished by their density and a large number of fatty foods. But it should be said that the German cuisine is simply wonderful.
