What comes to your mind when you think of classic German foods? Sausage? Schnitzel? As it turns out, each region has its own classic dishes, and not all of them contain pork \u2014 just take a look at the dishes listed below!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Classic foods of Northern Germany<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With access to both the North Sea and the Baltic Sea, a lot of dishes in northern Germany involve fish. So anyone who loves seafood will be quite happy in cities like Hamburg or Bremen, or on the quaint isles of Sylt or R\u00fcgen. One of the classic German foods in the north is Matjes<\/em>, or herring, which is prepared in many different ways. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Classic Bavarian Food <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Yes, Bavaria might make you think of Wei\u00dfwurst<\/em> and Blutwurst<\/em>. But did you know that one of the region’s most delicious meals is actually vegetarian? In Bavaria, Austria, and northern Italy, hearty Semmelkn\u00f6del<\/em> \u2014 wheat dumplings \u2014 come with wild mushrooms or with spinach kneaded into the dough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Favorite Swabian Pasta Dishes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the southwestern region of Germany, Maultaschen<\/em> and K\u00e4sesp\u00e4tzle<\/em> both deserve a mention. Maultaschen <\/em>are like a German ravioli containing either meat or vegetables. They can be served either fried or cooked in a light broth. K\u00e4sesp\u00e4tzle<\/em> is a type of fresh pasta that is mixed with cheese (or cheese and bacon) and topped with fried onions. You can think of it as German macaroni and cheese! Because this is one of the most classic German foods, many restaurants in other parts of Germany serve it as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Classic German Food in Hesse<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Any resident of Frankfurt will be curious to know if you’ve had a chance to try gr\u00fcne So\u00dfe<\/em>. Its main ingredients are seven different green herbs, including parsley and chives, as well as quark or sour cream. You can eat this fresh, refined sauce with hard boiled eggs in German restaurants in the region of Hesse. Many say that this was the favorite dish of the poet Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, who was born in Frankfurt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shared specialties <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The region of Alsace on the border of France and Germany is particularly famous for Flammkuchen<\/em> and Zwiebelkuchen<\/em>. However, many places in Germany have adopted these as their own local specialties as well. Flammkuchen<\/em> is like a pizza with an extremely thin crust and a thin layer of cr\u00e8me fra\u00eeche or sour cream instead of tomato sauce. Bacon and red onions is the classic topic. However, there are many vegetarian variations as well. Zwiebelkuchen<\/em> is a savory onion tart popular in Alsace and Switzerland, but even as far away from the border as Thuringia and Saxony. It is traditional to accompany Zwiebelkuchen<\/em> with a glass of Federwei\u00dfer<\/em>, a very young white wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
