🇩🇪German food
German cuisine is built around pork, potatoes, bread and cabbage, with regional dishes varying widely from north to south. Sausages, roasts with gravy, dumplings and fermented vegetables such as sauerkraut are common, and bread plays a central role at breakfast and supper.

💡Tip
Many classic mains combine fried or roasted meat with a rich sauce and potato sides — the gravy, breading and fried potatoes often add as much as the meat itself. Choosing boiled potatoes or a salad as the side helps keep the total down.
