German food varies significantly from region to region. definite areas have become paramount for a singular type of delicacy. For example Nurnberg is paramount for the Nurnberger bratwurst. Munich on the other hand is paramount for the Munchner Weiswurst. Interestingly these foods are ready at the most simplest of places. They are often sold from stands in the market place, or even the train station.

There is also great rivalry between the regions as to who has the great recipes. There has always been strong regional rivalry between the north and south of the country. The claim for the title of best food recipes provokes a wholesome banter between the local citizens.

Germany is most paramount for its sausages and sauerkraut. Any way there are a huge whole of original recipes on offer that most population of other nations wouldn't even be aware of. These comprise unique flavorsome meat dishes, a large collection of potato dumplings, and many types of potato salads. One of the least recognized claims to fame are the numerous fresh salad recipes accompanied by the most marvelous dressings.

And not forgetting those who have a sweet tooth, there are also an great collection of cakes and pastries available. In roughly every cafe, you can enjoy the most mouth watering layer cakes, unrivaled everywhere in the world.

Unfortunately many of the original ways of cooking the paramount German recipes are being forgotten. With the convenience of large food outlets you can now buy ready to cook German dumplings, sauerbraten, sauerkraut etc. Cakes can be categorically purchased from roughly any bakery.

The effect is that few of the current generation would know where to begin to generate a original meal.

German culture and German food are intimately linked. The risk is that important German food culture may be lost unless the art of German cooking is revitalized. This is prominent for Germans living in Germany. It is also important for German migrants and their descendants who have gone to live in other parts of the world.

We need to make a concerted endeavor to ensure that the German food culture remains alive. Therefore, take the time and make the endeavor to teach the young ones the recipes and cooking techniques of old. In doing so the German traditions and customs will also remain alive.
