Germany

Germany’s food is built around sausages, breads, and beer anchor regional cooking of roasts, dumplings, and sauerkraut, with celebrated cakes. Look for Bratwurst (grilled pork sausage eaten in a roll with mustard), Currywurst (sliced fried sausage under curry ketchup; Berlin snack-stand icon) and Sauerbraten (beef pot roast marinated in vinegar, sweet-sour raisin gravy). The oldest surviving German sausage regulation is a Nuremberg statute of 1313; the city still fixes the size and content of its Rostbratwurst.
