Germany Food

Germany has its own range of customary food that population all throughout the world will know of. Here are some of the food that Germans like to cook and eat in their own country.

First of all, we have the Spatzle. Spatzle is like egg noodles that we have here in the United Kingdom (And a lot of other countries). They can be formed by pressing the batter through what the Germans call a "Spatzle grater". Here are some instructions of how you can make them.

1. First of all, you need to accumulate your ingredients. This is what you will need:
2. 4-5 cups all purpose flour
3. 1 cup (250ml) water
4. 4 large eggs
5. 1 tsp salt
6. Mix the flour, eggs, water and salt in a bowl. Keep mixing together until the mixture looks thick.
7. Place the spatzle maker over a pot of geltly boiling water. Add some of the batter to the keeping cup and moderately grate. When the spatzle float to the surface take off them with a slotted spoon. Repeat, until all of the batter is used.
8. After you've removed it all, feel free to serve it as it is. You could however add a bit more to add to the flavor. You could add butter, cheese or maybe even some carmalized onions.

So that is the Spatzle for you. Now, lets move onto our next customary German dish.

Now we have the Kartoffelsalat. This is basically a potato salad as we all know it. This dish is served warm. This dish requires quite a lot more ingredients than the Spatzle however.

1. You will need the following:
2. 5 pounds red potatoes
3. 3 stalks celery
4. 1 medium onion
5. 3/4 pound smoked bacon
6. 1/4 cup flour
7. 3/4 cup white vinegar
8. 4 Tbs. Sugar
9. 1/2 tsp. Salt
10. 1/2 tsp. Pepper
11. The next step is to fry the bacon. You're going to need to do this until the bacon is nice and crispy.
12. Now, take off the bacon from the pan and drain off slightly. Make sure some of the oils are still there so it can salute the onions and the celery. Now do so and salute them.
13. Add flour to the pan now. Then after it has thickened up, add the vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper. Make sure you stir well. Add the onions, celery and bacon after.
14. Slice the potatoes and moderately put them in. Let it stand for a few hours, and then serve.

The final dish we are going to communicate is called Sachertorte. Basically, it is a nice cake (Layered) with apricots and chocolate icing.
