Answer 1

Well Munich is in Bavaria, Germany so the cuisine is Bavarian.

Some traditional foods are:

Kalter Braten Cold Schweinsbraten (roasted pork) cut in thin slices usually served with bread and horseradish

Wurstsalat Marinated cold sausage cut in thin slices with onion rings

Schweizer Wurstsalat same as above but with cheese

Krautsalat mit Speck Marinated white cabbage slices with bacon

Kartoffelsalat Salad made from marinated boiled potatoes. It is a common dish in southern part of Germany, but the Bavarians tend to add more vinegar than others.

Obazda A cheese creme with onions and paprika powder. Served with bread or a pretzel.

Leberknödelsuppe Typical Bavarian soup with a dumpling from pork liver.

Leberspätzlesuppe same as above, with many small pieces instead of a dumpling

Schweinsbraten the most common dish in upper Bavaria. Pork served in slices with gravy, accompanied by Knödel

Krustenbraten see Schweinsbraten. They just want to emphasize the great crust you normally get with a Schweinsbraten
