Some people say that the best chef in heaven is French and the best chef in hell is German. Although this statement is too exaggerated, it can reflect that Germans will not buy it. Germans pay attention to nutrition, not cooking art, so some people say that German food is nothing more than boiling, stewing and baking. However, today's catering industry in Germany can be said to be a big gathering with international flavor, where you can taste delicious food from all over the world. German food is not just stewed pork elbows with sauerkraut. Nowadays, German chefs are good at absorbing other exotic food characteristics, and can also make delicious food based on the cooking characteristics of many countries in Asia, Europe and the United States. But when it comes to labeling Germany, we can't help but mention German diets such as sausages and beer.

sausage

Germans really "eat meat and drink"-eat pork and drink beer. Germans consume 65 kilograms of pork each year, ranking first in the world. Because they prefer pork, most famous German dishes are pork products. The most famous foods in Germany are sausages, sausages and ham, with at least 1500 kinds, all of which are pork products. The most famous "black forest ham" is sold all over the world. It can be cut as thin as paper and tastes great. Germany's national dish is to spread all kinds of sausages and ham on sour cabbage; Sometimes a whole pig's hind legs are used instead of sausages and ham. Germans can kill the whole cooked pork leg without changing color.

Sausage varieties are famous all over the world. The main raw materials range from pork and beef to vegetables or animal offal, and various spices are often mixed to make local unique flavor. Therefore, you will find that most sausages are named after regions, such as Wiener, Wiener, Nürnberger, etc ... In terms of eating methods, sausages are also presented.

In addition to sausages, there are more than 100 kinds of ham and bacon in German meat dishes, which is also due to subtle changes in the way of making and adding spices. Most meat products are sliced raw and cold, and then dipped in mustard sauce directly.

German beer

In A.D. 15 16, William IV, the Grand Duke of Bavaria, issued the German Pure Beer Order, which stipulated that German beer could only be made from malt, hops and water. So German beer has become synonymous with so-called pure beer in the past 500 years. Today, Germany is the second largest beer producer in the world. There are 1300 breweries in China, producing more than 5,000 kinds of beer. According to official statistics, every German drinks 138 liters of beer every year. No nation in the world loves beer more than Germans! Especially during the annual Oktoberfest, up to 6 million liters of beer can be consumed. The beer culture formed by Germans over the years is unique in the world.

Bread and potatoes

Germans believe that bread is a nutritious and healthy natural food, and sausage must be accompanied by bread. Germany is also a world champion in the quality and quantity of bread production. German bread is a mixture of refined flour, rye, oats, refined flour and miscellaneous grains. There are more than 1500 kinds of bread baked in Germany every day. Bread is the most important staple food for Germans for three meals a day. According to statistics, Germans eat 8 1.5 kg of bread every year, ranking first among EU member states.

There are more than 300 kinds of bread in Germany, including: brown bread, sour bread, whole wheat bread, splayed bread and buns. Sometimes bread with cheese, ham, sausage or spread with meat sauce is very delicious. In addition, potatoes have become one of the staple foods of Germans since the18th century, and the only hot meal at noon is solidly filled with meat, seafood and vegetables.

Germans eat 6 kilograms of fish per capita every year. The sales of candy, chocolate and cakes are also considerable.

Wine (wine)

Because grapes that absorb mineral components for a long time are used to make wine, the taste of German wine is noble and unique, and 85% of white wine is sweet and slightly dark in color. The label of the wine bottle will indicate the words "strong" or "semi-strong". If not specified, wine is usually mild. High-grade wine must be produced in 13 designated wine producing areas. After the reunification of Germany, it also joined the old East Germany of Saxony, Meissen and Nau Mburu. The taste of wine varies according to the type of grape, planting area and brewing year. The general tastes of wine are Qualitatswein and Kabinett. The wine made from grapes picked late is called Spatlese, which is the best. In addition to the above two kinds, there are sweet wines, such as Ausless and Beerenausle.

Three meals a day.

As in most parts of China, Germans eat three meals a day. Breakfast is usually at seven o'clock, lunch at one o'clock and dinner at seven o'clock. Some places have afternoon tea and cakes between lunch and dinner.

Different from China's eating habits, the most exquisite and sumptuous thing for Germans is not lunch and dinner, but breakfast. In restaurants of hotels or government agencies, breakfast is mostly self-service, including staple food, meat, vegetables, drinks, fruits and so on. , not only rich in variety, but also good in color, smell and taste. In ordinary families, no matter whether the family is rich or poor, the contents of breakfast are generally the same: first, drinks, including coffee, tea, various juices, milk and so on. The staple food is all kinds of bread, as well as butter, cheese and jam with bread, plus sausage and ham. Germans eat very efficiently. They can mix and finish these rich foods in just 65,438+00 minutes to provide energy for their intense work in the morning.

Lunch in Germany is generally eaten in the unit canteen or fast food restaurant, which is a veritable fast food, such as a platter of potatoes, salad lettuce and a few pieces of meat, plus a drink. In families with housewives and underage children, lunch is also relatively simple, such as a piece of cooked meat, a meat pie with boiled vegetables and bread, or beef stew with rice and lettuce. Just like noodles with gravy in China, it is very simple to mix spaghetti with gravy and have a cup of coffee or an ice cream after dinner. Germans simplify lunch not to save money, but to save time.

German family dinner is usually a cold meal, which is very rich in content: a large plate of meat; Fresh and delicious vegetables, such as radishes, tomatoes and cucumbers; Fresh fruits such as grapes and cherries. Some housewives also put out various flavors of cheese, and bread is the staple food. Dinner time is relatively wide, and the family sits around the table and chats while eating.

In addition to three meals a day, some Germans are used to "adding meals" at four or five o'clock in the afternoon, that is, having a cup of coffee or tea and eating a cake or biscuits. Upper-middle class families like to invite friends to have tea and chat at home at this time. At such a party, guests can taste world-famous German cakes, and German women generally practice the skill of baking snacks with one hand. However, in today's fast-paced social life, this kind of afternoon leisure enjoyment is only possible on weekends, holidays or holidays.
