What are some favorite dishes served in German Restaurants?

Question

I will be in Germany for Easter- Spring Break and I was wondering what kind of food to expect. The normal breakfast, lunch and dinner meals but most popular. Not real strange food I am not a brave person.

Answer 1

The food you find in every restaurant is steak, "Schnitzel" (pigmeat fried in a crust of egg-breadcrums), "Bratwurst" (fryed sausage) Hamburger or "Frikadellen" (minced meat seasoned and fryed) fryed chicken, french fryes, potatoes fryed, boiled, mashed, vegetables and salads ... most things not tasing too different to "hometown bufffet" restaurants.

If you order "Strammer Max" you will get a slice of bread with ham and a fried egg (sunny side up), which may be used for breakfast. But also many restaurants serve ham and eggs for breakfast.

So - don't worry, you will not be shocked. Enjoy your time!

Well, in Germany, the breakfast is quite different as you have in the U.S. (or in the UK).   No bacon, pancakes, etc for breakfast over here!!!

Breakfast (Frühstück) commonly consists of bread, toast, and/or bread rolls (Brötchen, Semmeln, Broodje, Schrippen, Wecken or Rundstücke) with jam, marmalade or honey, eggs, and strong coffee or tea (milk or cocoa for children). Deli meats, such as ham, salted meats and salami, are also commonly eaten on bread in the morning, as are various cheeses. A variety of meat-based spreads such as Leberwurst (literally liver-sausage) can be found during breakfast as well. Müsli and cereals such as cornflakes are also popular.

Traditionally, the main meal of the day has been lunch (Mittagessen), eaten around noon. Dinner (Abendessen or Abendbrot) was always a smaller meal, sometimes consisting only of sandwiches. However, in Germany, as in other parts of Europe, dining habits have changed quite radically over the last 50 years. Today, many people eat only a small meal in the middle of the working day and enjoy a hot dinner in the evening. Breakfast is still very popular and may be elaborated and extended on weekends, with friends invited as guests.

But, any good German restaurant will serve what you want.  Tell the waiter what you want and if he or she might help you with the menu.

And those idiots who always gives me a thumbs down, why to heck you don't write anything here if you know it better, or are you just enjoying giving thumbs down just for fun???

I had Eierscheke (eye er shek ah). It is like a dessert pie. Normally, you will find your lunch to be the biggest meal of the day.

Breakfast is sometimes a soft boiled egg (I thought it sounded gross but was delicious!), an assortment of breads, meats, and cheeses, coffee and OJ.

Lunch is the main meal.

Dinner may be some sort of bratwurts or sausage. If you don't like brats, don't worry....there are over two hundred choices...you're sure to find one you do like.

The saurkraut there is better than in the US. It is made with white wine and is actually a bit more sweeter than here.

Also, if you order soda, chances are it will have no ice. It is served at room temp unless you ask for EXTRA ice. If you just request 'ice', you may get one cube. Most places don't offer free refills, either.

But hey, if it's your first time there, it is a great country with lots of history and very nice people. Take lots of pics. I have an entire photo album of my two weeks there.
