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. German asparagus is the best, but it is out of season.

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 Micha — I’ll definitely give white sausages a try.

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!

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.

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