Traveling through Germany you will quickly notice that the food changes as much as the landscape itself. Every region has got its own specialties that encompass a wide variety of seafood, poultry, vegetable and meat and of course cakes in all styles. Beside the traditional way of cooking, which is mostly very substantial, healthy and balanced diet is capturing German kitchens. From the Baltic Sea to the Alps you get the taste of 300 kinds of bread, a wide assortment of specialty cheeses and other dairy products. But big happenings like the Octoberfest or christmas markets let forget all about it. Here are Bratwurst (fried sausage), Haxn (pork hocks), Leberkäs (liver cheese) or Lebkuchen (gingerbread) and many other tidbits a must.
