So because I think combining the general German lifestyle
and food in one post would get a liiiiiiittle bit too long, I decided to split
it up and simply begin with writing about what I think is typical German food
;) Of course this is not what everyone believes in, but it´s just my opinion and
you have to remember, that I am from Bavaria, in the south and we eat so many
different foodies as they probably do in the north :)hope you are okay with me
only writing about those things I knooow or also maybe eat ;) But I think
anyway this post is going to get a little bit longer ... ;) Don´t quite know with
which one to start :S
Buuuut no problem, I definitively will start with one of
those foods, that helped me soooo much loosing my anxiety of breads and carbs :) it really played/and
still plays such a huuuge enormous role in my recovery (because I nearly eat it
every evenig as „Brotzeit“ (means dinner). It is typical Bavarian and is my
„Brezel“/Pretzel... ;) We usually combine it with fresh creamy butter, but you
can nearly grease it with everything like ham or cheese ;) whatever you liiike
;) I loooove it so much, because in my opinion it tastes so much better than a
normal bun or something like that ;)
 |
| Brezel & Weißwurst & Sweet Mustard |
Soooo to combine the Brezel you could also use something
very very Bavarian: Like I´ve mentioned in my last post: A „Weißwurst“ or
„Leberkäse“. The first one is kind
of a sausage and it is really common in
this area that you eat these with a sweet mustard and a Pretzel for second
breakfast :D Of course this is not practiced so much often, rather on
festivities ;)
 |
| Brezel & Leberkäse & Mustard |
So you could enjoy the Weißwurst, as well as the Leberkäse (which is a somewhat thicker kind of wurst) very well at evening or for lunch for example on a bun, too)
 |
| On the left is Sauerkraut and the Wiener Schnitzel |
We also eat a lot of meat and other sausages, too ;) like "Wiener Schnitzel"(which is an allover breaded piece of pork) or "Currywurst"(a sliced sausage spiced and covered with curry ketchup), which are also often combined with "Sauerkraut" (sour cabbage) or other yuuummi things... ;)
 |
| Pichelsteiner (looks not so deeeli, but believe me it is good:) |
Theeeen to continue I would choooose some meals with
potatoes, because we use to cook many of our meals with them ;) So something
typical is „Kartoffelsalat“ (potato salad) which is available with many
different dressings like mayonnaise or oil ;) and they are as well as other
dishes with potatoes like „Bratkartoffeln“ (roasted potatoes in a pan) or mashed
potatoes easy to be served as a side dish with sausages or everything you crave
for ;) I really enjoy having them also in a meal, which is called Pichelsteiner
Eintopf (which I actually just had a few minutes ago for lunch) ;) It simply is
a typical stew made from various kind of meats and vegetables :) By times I find it
nooow so much easier to eat it again, because while ED I was soo scared of all
the carbs and the meat, that I refused to eat it ;) but nooot now!!! I am in recovery and
not giving in!!!! ;)
Sooo what else is typical here? Something else you might not
really know are „Kässpätzle/Spätzle“ ;) This is nooot easy to describe :S hmm I don´t actually
know how, but they are kind of egg noodles and can be eaten as a side dish with
meat or „Kässpätzle“ are served with
melted cheese and onions ;) believe me, they are still a little bit sort of a
fear food, but eating them will get less anxiety as well I think ;)
But in Germany we do not only eat those massive and hearty things like it maybe
seems by listing them ;) We also have lots of sweet specialities, which I
definitively prefer (just by the way):
First of all there exists the „Dampfnudel“ (or if you want
to fill it with jam: „Germknödel“), a so called steam noodle, sort of white,
sweet bread roll eaten usually with vanilla custard. Reaaaally yummi, my Granny
often used to make them for us, when we were little ;) I always enjoyed those
days when she invited us for lunch to have Dampfnudeln ;)
Another speciality, I already mentioned in my recent posts ,
is the gingerbread („Lebkuchen“): It is usually eaten at the time around
christmas and includes a huuuuge variety of different spices and flavours such
as honey, ginger, cinnamon, nuts and almonds,.... ;) really always reminds me
of christmas time *_* For christmas we Germans also loooove to bake so many
different types of cookies: Traditional goods are for example „Vanillekipferl,
Zimtsterne, Nugattaler, Butterplätzchen, Dominosteine,....“  |
| Prinzregententorte *amaaaaaazing*isn´t it? |
So there is for example the „Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte“,
probably known to you as Black Forest Cake, consisting of several layers of
chocolate cake combined with cherries and cream ;) I am not such a huuge fan of it, but so many people love it =) I rather prefer
cakes like our „Prinzregententorte (a Bavarian cake consisting of at least 6
layers of sponge cake with buttercream and chocolate *_*), Sachertorte,
Donauwelle, Bienenstich, Kuchen.... ;) Omg so hard to stop talking about all
those yuuuuummi things ;)
But I think/hope you now got a little bit more info about
what is typical German in my eyes ;)
Hahaaa I hope you didn´t get bored while reading ;) I am
really really looking forward to get to know your opinion about the foods ;)
and I would also be very interested in hearing, wheter you know our foods in
your countries ;) Aaaand of course my brave warriors, I would love to get your
opinion about the taste of the foods ;) I simply mean, if you think if you would
like to try some of them... ;)
Hope you all have a looooovely week ;) Love u all so muuuch :-*
