I spent a month in Germany last year. Turns out the most authentic German food is currywurst and middle eastern food lol.
But maybe that's just in Berlin. They probably have good potato based dishes in Bavaria.
The Döner is a German food though, it was invented in Berlin.
When I was a kid it was more common to have German restaurants and Imbiss. But they can't compete in price and speed with cheaper alternatives in the cities. That's why they were gradually replaced. When you want to eat some more traditional German cuisine, you'd have to go to smaller towns or a hotel restaurant.
Nah you are close. We eat "Döner" (a turkish dish modified for Germany, basically a german invention) curry wurst and "Wiener Schnitzel" with french fires.
We drink beer all over the country but about every 50 km you have a different kind of beer that is prefered and don't you dare to say a different beer is better.
Also the glasses in which the beer is drunken grows from north to south.
Tell me about it. Somehow stores here don't stock anything above 0.33 litres that isn't a Weißbierglas as if 0.5l bottles weren't a thing and I could be arsed to pour twice.
Yeah here you get regular 0,5 liters in bottles and on fairs and other Festivals you have to order a half beer or you will be served a Liter of beer.
If you spent your month in Berlin, you didn't visit Germany. Common mistake.
Lol.
It's like saying you didn't visit the US because you only went to NYC, but not Texas.
Only that Berlin is probably the "least German" place to go, while NY is not.
There is no german fast food except curry Wurst in Berlin. That doesnt mean there is no good german food. Just in Berlin there are viewer Restaurants selling german food than asian/ middle East and italian food and there is a lot of fast food. I dont know why there are so few German restaurants. In Munich you find more of them...
In Munich you'll find more Bavarian restaurants.
