Good eats in Germany (IG)
Above/featured: Foreground: Vienna-style veal schnitzel with fries, lemon slices, capers, sardines. Background: Flammkuche with feta, green chiles, olives, onion. RheinZeit in Köln (2011).
“Leckeres Essen in Deutschland”
I began this 2011, and the collection of photos has grown to something more. I think food throughout Germany can be colourful and delicious, and can offer variety outside of the traditional “meat and starch” fare.
The photos you are about to see may cause drooling.
Döner sandwich with cilantro, onion, red hot peppercorns; Ayran yogurt-drink. Oruc, Köln – 29 Sep 2011.
Lunch starter: thin bread, spicy red dip, sour cream with carrot, cucumber. Mangal, Köln – 30 Sep 2011.
Lunch main: grilled lamb over wood and coal grill. Mangal, Köln – 30 Sep 2011.
Künefe is a baked dessert: honey layer with angel hair and cheese center, topped with cream and walnuts. Mangal, Köln – 30 Sep 2011.
Spicy currywurst with fries, Fritz-Kola. Edelcurry, Hamburg – 1 Oct 2011.
Fried-fish sandwich, fresh lemonade : Meral’s Imbiss, Frankfurt am Main – 3 Oct 2011; more here.

Gluten-free almond florentines (€ 1,95 each) is just one of many in a long line of baked goodies found every Christmas season at Café Gundel in Heidelberg, Germany. Photo on 26 Nov 2014.
Bakery chains are not in short supply in Germany: left, Rosinenschnecke (“raisin snail”) and right, Mohnplunder (danish with poppy seed filling). Also, it’s cheaper to buy breakfast from a local- or chain-bakery than to take part in your hotel’s breakfast. From one of many Kamps in Berlin, 27 Nov 2014.
Panierte Hähnchenbrust auf Pilz-Zwiebel-Gurkenragout mit Gemüsenudeln in Kräuter-Sahnesosse (breaded chicken breast on mushroom, onion, and cucumber ragout, with noodles in herb cream sauce). At Auerbachs Keller, Leipzig – 2 Dec 2014.
In Berlin, I finally drop by the “Curry 36 Am Zoo” currywurst stand I’d been eyeing next to the “Zoo” train station. I ordered a double currywurst (ohne Darm/no casing), scharf/spicy, and a side of pommes (paw’-mes) with a dollop of mayo. A heart attack special on a paper plate: it was nomtastic. Photo on 9 Dec 2014.
Hauptspeise (main course): Schweinefilet mit Champignon-Rahmsöße, dazu Eiernudeln / Grilled pork tenderloin with mushroom cream sauce, served with egg noodles. Ratskeller Speyer – 20 Nov 2015.
Nachtisch (dessert) – Frittierte Apfelknödel, dazu Vanille-Eis / deep-fried apple dumplings with vanilla ice cream. Ratskeller Speyer – 20 Nov 2015.

You did cause unstopabble drooling… I forgive you for the nice trip down memory lane of my German years.

Hi, Eva.
It is a great compliment by anyone, but especially from a friend, to say that (i) drooling was caused, and (ii) you got a nice trip down memory lane. 🙂
Thanks for your comment, and for stopping by!

Hi, Laurel. That I did – thanks in part to some fine recommendations from friends. I can imagine things are a bit tougher for vegetarians, especially in smaller towns, but thankfully, I see things changing and both variety and quality improving every time I go back and visit Germany. Thanks for your comment!

Mmmm! Is there anything better than wiener schnitzel?! 🙂

Very much so, but only if it’s fresh veal, pounded to a few millimetres of thicknness, lightly breaded, lightly pan fried to be crispy outside yet still moist inside, and served with a lemon wedge and fries. The best Wiener Schnitzel I’ve ever had was in fact in Wien, which only reminds me that I have to go back.
But more often not for cost, I’ll seek out the döner, and if I’m hungry, a dürüm döner!
