Tracing back to the history of Rheinischer Sauerbraten with raisins, it is inevitable to mention Julius C & ampaumlsar. On the way to Gaul, the troops under his command were stationed in colonia (the name of Cologne was translated from the word Colonia), and the troops came too fast and went too fast. As a result, he left a carriage filled with vinegar cans, beef and a small bag of raisins-hence the dish "Rainsher Kimchi". Both meat and vegetables, as long as they can be planted and planted in the field, can be used to make "westfalen one pot cooking" (westf &；; aumllische Eint & ampoumlpfe）。 Classic "one pot cooking" includes "one pot cooking vegetables", "one pot cooking radish and cabbage" and "one pot cooking wheat bran smoked pork and green beans".

People in westfalen who are far away from home often miss the special food in their hometown: brown bread, also called coarse bread. It is not baked in an oven, but steamed by mixing rye coarse flour with a small amount of yeast, malt and beet syrup. Beet syrup makes rye coarse bread dark black and can keep fresh for a long time in cans.
