[quote user="FRRYKid"]How about some good ol' German sauerkraut in that case?[/quote] I know that the Germans have been named "The Krauts" in WW II (WW I was different - it was either Les Boches or Les Haricot Verts) for their apparent love for that stuff, but again, that´s a myth. Preserving food in salt or vinegar has been an old method in all of northern Europe. In those countries with a rich and thick soil, the predominant cash crop has traditionally been cabbage, which puts you back to Poland, the Ukraine and Russia. The people in Poland eat by far more Sauerkraut than the Germans do. Even before WW II, Germany imported cabbage from these countries. Sorry to be a myth buster [;)] It´s actually quite difficult to define what typical German food would be. There are so distinct regional differences in the kind of food people eat. Bavarian kitchen is so different from what we eat up north. Traditional cooking is on the retreat, in favor of Italian inspired dishes, like pizza, spaghetti, lasagne, various cassarole dishes, but also an increasing consumption of burgers and hot dogs. Maybe the good old "Curry-Wurst" will be the last ethnic German food, after our dining tables have been conquered by falafel, shish kebap, couscous, pizza, spaghetti, burgers & co.! <img src="https://img.prinz.de/RG6iNm_0jofSHCQL7RXpqUuyKJI=/smart/filters:brightness(5):contrast(5)/https://media.prinz.de/articles/2014-12/688715_original_r_b_by_tim_reckmann_pixelio.de.jpg" alt=" " />
