Steaks
Hamburgers
Steak and kidney/mince/pork pie
Full English breakfast

Should we ever take up raiding again, your fish&chips are coming with us I tell you. With malt vinegar that is food of the gods.

After reading this, I realized that Shepard's pie with beef is Cottage pie. It's a good substitute since lamb isn't as widely available as it may be in the U.K. I made a pork roast last week and have enough left over to make a roast pork pie. All of the things you mentioned sound great.


The malt vinegar with the beer batter marinated fish is is so great as to be beyond description. The fish is great either breaded or broiled with some lemon and butter.

Hah just made Hamburgers today, kind of celebrating the Super Bowl

I am really thinking whether there is a typical national german dish

Bring some over and you can help yourself to some chili, barbecue and beer and Tums.


I always thought Sauer Kraut, Pork and Kiebasa / Sausage was a German dish ?

Isn't Sauerkraut und Rind-/Schweinefleisch a National dish in Germany ?

Reminds me of the time I was living in Holland and working as an Instrumentation Engineer (VAF Instruments BV Dordrecht)

Friday was the fish lunch day in the factory canteen and my second week there I asked one of the canteen cooks if I could have my fish fried because I wasn't impressed with the raw pickled herring my Dutch colleagues were eating.

One of my colleagues who was ex-Dutch Navy and had been to the UK sat beside me and said "You Brits are weird, eating fish and chips out of a newspaper" and I replied with a grin "At least we cook the fish first"

Sauerkraut is less popular in Germany than the rest of the world thinks it is. That said it is still very delicious when served with fried potatoes and onions and a nice slice of Kasseler (a special kind of cured and smoked pork chop), a little bit of mustard and a couple of ice cold Pilseners - yum.

No, the national dish in Germany of course is Currywurst: A bratwurst with or without peel, sweet and hot sauce (every good snack bar has its own recipe) and curry powder. It usually comes with a roll or chips. The most famous Currywurst is served in the Volkswagen staff canteen. Thousands are consumed each day. The wurst and the sauce have their own official VW parts numbers.

While sourkrout has a lot of vitamine c and is available in winter, it is neither widespread nor is it especially tasty. I guess it was first invented by the english navy against scurvy, packed into caskets?
It goes well with Szegediner goulash, but that is hardly typical german.
Meat of all kinds is of course present in a lot of dishes in Germany, as are potatoes prepared in all kinds of formulations.
Marinated and braised beef with dumplings maybe, but this is not an everyday dish.

Funnily enough, that's precisely what I had for lunch today.

I think it may be more popular in the US due to German immigrants.

My mother used to set a pot with onions, apples, and sauerkraut on the stove and then throw in pork chops that had been browned first along with cut up kielbasa, brats, or hot dogs.

And I do love a good hot dog with raw onion, brown mustard and sauerkraut.

Now it isn't a national dish. I just remember as a kid it being served too often for my tastes. My dad usually made them, stuffed cabbage rolls. I couldn't stand the things. Now Graveyard Stew, that was a favorite.
