Good eats in Germany (IG)

By on

“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.

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.

Curry 36, currywurst, Zoologischer Garten, Hardenbergplatz, Berlin, Hauptstadt, Germany, Deutschland, fotoeins.com

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.

"My travel, my food, my kind of ubiquity" (2/3). Left: Apfelschnecke (cinnamon roll with apples); right: Nussschnecke (cinnamon roll with ground nuts). Rischart, München Einkaufsbhf (UG), 🇩🇪 – 23 Feb 2017 (© HL). Travel isn't merely about sunshine and selfies; it's about finding out the things which make up the day-to-day. That's why food can act very effectively as both bridge and catalyst to the culture of a new country. While I'm now very familiar with German food, I find it's important to reach for simple items soon upon my return to the country. I'm always on the train, and I'm always going through a train station, which means I'm also always going past some kind of bakery or bakery stand. And within a town or city, I'm always going past some kind of snack-stand (Imbiss) which offers Turkish döner kebab, one of the most ubiquitous food items in the country. Some might be repulsed, and some might snort with disdain. But I know I'm eating what a lot of other Germans are eating, while they too are on the go, though I'm still trying to learn how to curse in Turkish …

      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!

      Hey, Simon. Wow, my bad – amazing what a couple of swapped consonants can and will do to me. Corrected, and thanks!

      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!

      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!
