Breakfast and Brunch in Germany - an overview
 Frühstück(early bite)
A selection of freshly baked rolls will often be served for breakfast in Germany with a generous selection of cold meats, cheeses, yoghurt and fruits. Boiled eggs are very popular and you may also find fleischsalat served with bread – chopped ham with mayonnaise and gherkins.
weisswurst (literally white sausage) is a traditional Bavarian sausage made from very finely minced veal and fresh pork bacon. It is usually flavoured with parsley, lemon, mace, onions, ginger and cardamom, though of course there are some variations to this traditional recipe. The mixture is then stuffed into natural skins and made into sausages about four to five inches in length and less than an inch thick. As it is very perishable weisswurst is traditionally prepared early in the morning and eaten for first or second breakfast - there is a saying that the sausages should not be allowed to hear the church bells noon chime. The sausages are heated in water just short of boiling for about ten minutes, which will turn them greyish white because they contain no preservatives. |
Have you had breakfast here? - then tell us about it..
In Southern Germany we eat Bauern brot, a crusty rustic bread or fresh Broetchen with butter and homemade jam. Sliced cheese and meat and yoghurt are also popular washed down with coffee or tea. Nic. 10/08/06
In Berlin the big hotels and some restaurants try to out do each other as to how many items they can get into the breakfast buffet. The Crowne Plaza offers 120 including about a dozen kinds of smoked or cured fish, every kind of ham and salami imaginable, eggs any way you like, cereals, fruit including wood strawberries (yum), cheeses, yoghurts, breads, pastries and cakes and the one that got me - loads of different kinds of made up salads often with pickled cucumber or pickled onion in it!

In Germany we had salami on this gorgeous bread with cheese. All sorts! Katemolly. 10/08/06
I think the best breakfasts I have ever eaten have been in Germany. Wonderful broetchen mit fabulous jams and lovely butter. And the odd boiled egg on the side. And a kilo or two of sliced meats and cheeses. When holidaying in Germany I never recall needing lunch. frenchcheesequeen. 12/08/06 |
