I’m off to Germany for a two week work trip — if I have time I’ll be searching out some tasty and traditional german food!  Do you have any suggestions of foods I shouldn’t miss??

    Try Nuremberg Sausages with Sauerkraut and mashed potatoes. They are delish!

    Thanks Merrypetal — I’ll look for them

    Julia — I’ll be in Hannover. Are you in London?

    Try Weißwurst, it’s a mild sausage (like the one in your picture, actually). And of course, one couldn’t skip the beer!
    Viel Spaß! (Have fun!)

    Have a great trip! I have never been to Germany, but my family is of German-heritage so we always make saurbraten and spaetzle for Christmas. I love both, and would definitely try it if I was traveling there.

    I’m not up on my German cuisine, but my old German roomates used to have the most amazing spiced cookies and tasty little marzipans.

    On another note, I finally made your biscuits (with a couple of changes) and they were soooo good. I did a post about them on my little corner of the web. Thanks for sharing and happy travels!

    Micha — I’ll definitely give white sausages a try. I read in my sausage making book about how some german sausages are made with milk rather than water or wine — I wonder if that’s what gives some sausages their white color?

    Tiffany — I have heard the terms, but have no idea what either of those are — a great reason to search them out and try them!

    Candace — I’m glad you liked the biscuits! your photo of them is fantastic. As for the spiced cookies, they sound delicious — there’s a little bakery about 50 yards from my hotel — I should check if them have them

    German asparagus is the best, but it is out of season. I love Eierkuchen (egg panncakes), crapes, Kartoffelpuffer (potato pancakes) and no visit to Germany would ever be complete without Doener (Turkish gyros). I would recommend a day trip to Braunschweig if you have time. My favorite cty, and it is a half hour from Hanover.

    like beth said, don’t forget the döner! when done well, they are to die for. and you seem to know about zwiebelkuchen already…. heaven!
