1, German trotters
Let's first introduce the famous German pig's trotters, also known as German salty pig's hands and German pig's trotters. Compared with China's trotters, German trotters are more accurately called hooves. It chooses fat pig hind legs, salted, boiled or roasted with fire, and eats them together with German sauerkraut.
Smoked trotters are cooked trotters, and the taste of traditional German seasonings is completely sealed in the trotters by charcoal smoke. The trotters look shiny, the skin is soft and chewy, and the fat part is elastic. However, this cooking method is time-consuming and laborious. In addition to more than ten kinds of spices, sawdust and charcoal must be used for smoking. After smoking, cut into thin slices and serve with a glass of dark beer or rye juice (a nutritious drink in Germany, slightly bitter in taste). It really makes people chew meat.

It is estimated that there are more than 65,438+0,500 kinds of sausages, including more than 780 kinds of cooked sausages, such as German minced meat sausages and German afternoon tea sausages.
The most common way for Germans to eat is with sauerkraut and bread. Of course, there are also rich sauces or fried sausages or salads. When sausage was introduced to America, it became a famous fast food-hot dog.
3. Kimchi
Kimchi is a traditional German food, pickled with cabbage or kohlrabi. German sauerkraut is rich in lactic acid, vitamins A, B, C, minerals and fiber, and contains carbohydrates and protein needed by human body. During the ocean voyage in the18th century, the crew could not eat fresh vegetables due to the conditions. In order to prevent scurvy caused by vitamin deficiency, ocean-going ships often bring a lot of sauerkraut. Now in Germany, sauerkraut has become a necessary food in winter.
Sauerkraut can stimulate appetite and help digestion, especially when paired with German meat set meal, it can reduce the greasy feeling of dishes and keep every bite fresh and delicious. Therefore, sauerkraut cannot be separated from German trotters and sausages.
