Germany

Food, wine and beer in germany, Europe.

Obatzda

A soft, savory Bavarian cheese spread made from ripe Camembert, butter, paprika and a splash of wheat beer, and no relation at all to American beer cheese.

Schnitzel

Golden, crisp, and impossibly tender, Wiener Schnitzel is one of Austria's most beloved culinary treasures. This dish traces its roots to Vienna, where thin slices of veal are pounded delicately, coated in a light, airy breading, and fried until they turn a beautiful golden brown. The magic lies in the coating: it should puff up and separate slightly from the meat, creating those signature crisp ripples. Traditionally served with a wedge of lemon, a sprinkle of parsley, and a side of potato salad or lingonberry jam, it's comfort food with a touch of elegance. 

Schaschlik-Rolle

This is not the small street-market skewer. Schaschlik-Rolle is the large-format version: thin pork slices wrapped around streaky bacon and finely shredded cabbage, rolled into a generous log, skewered, and cooked slowly over charcoal embers for a full hour, turning frequently until the outside is deeply caramelised and the inside is tender all the way through. Each roll is a meal in itself, a serious piece of meat for a serious outdoor occasion, best eaten with bread, cold potato salad, and a good German beer.
