I haven't spent time in southern Germany yet, but thanks for the heads-up! Wow, bacon paired with pears sounds so untraditionally German. I've made potato salad before but only the way we do it in the north - the creamy version rather than the southern version without mayo. :/ I've also tried Spätzle before and I loooooove it! I want to try making it myself at home! The other dishes you mentioned sound so Asian-inspired. I definitely haven't seen anything like that here. Not yet, anyway. :)Shelleyhttp://shelleypascual.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6881285827716612164.post-44015301052667945232013-02-24T21:48:07.710+01:002013-02-24T21:48:07.710+01:00@Charlotte: Thank you for your lovely comment!

It's definitely their #1 beloved starch.

More beans and diced pears, less sliced oder diced bacon (ok, that's also from the northern part...) <br /><br />One important side dish is the potato salad, made with vinegar, oil, broth, red onions and chopped chives (without mayonaise).<br /><br />Not to forget the delicious soups, hot pots and and stews. Mostly made with vegetables and dumplings (made of semolina, potato, wheat and so on) - but they are seldom served in restaurants. <br /><br />Then: several kind of noodles, like the swabian "Spätzle", stuffed noodles akin the italian ravioli. <br /><br />Wonderful dishes only made of dumplings, filled with plums or apricot, or - salty without fruits - made with cheese, served with mushroom sauce. <br />We also have some nice fish.<br /><br />But one of the best parts of German kitchen are the sweets: Tartes, pies, flans - try it.Ralfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01391819955676422363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6881285827716612164.post-20442664878059144972013-02-19T20:59:30.813+01:002013-02-19T20:59:30.813+01:00I was staying with my mum over the weekend and I h...I was staying with my mum over the weekend and I had just been telling her about how central the potato is to German cuisine; then I discovered this blog post and was able to illustrate my point perfectly! We are both into the idea of taking photographs to document things we eat so we appreciated these pics :)Charlottenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6881285827716612164.post-57671606082039756322013-02-15T09:34:10.340+01:002013-02-15T09:34:10.340+01:00@Palani: I don't think German food is thaaat f...@Palani: I don't think German food is thaaat fatty, but it's definitely really heavy.
