Introduction

• Nutrition is one of the main conditions of human existence. Gastronomic habits and preferences of each people were formed over the centuries. Gradually created national cuisine, which is an integral part of any national culture. German food has a bad reputation, because it consists mainly of fats and carbohydrates. They say that the French appreciate the quality of food, the Germans-the number, and the British – good manners at the table. Can't say that the Germans are always chewing something; it's just hard to stop them at some point.

Traditional cuisine

• The main components of the German national cuisine are potatoes, pork, sauerkraut and flour products such as rolls, pretzels and rolls with fruit fillings (Strudel). The most popular drinks are, of course, beer and coffee. By the number of coffee consumed Germany is one of the first places in the world. But still German cuisine is not limited to these products. It is varied and tasty. Its menu varies slightly from land to land, which is due not only to natural conditions, but also to history. In German cuisine are very popular all kinds of meat products: sausages (Bratwurst), as well as the world-famous Bavarian white sausages (Weisswurst). These products are used both for the preparation of second courses, such as the world-famous dish of sausages with sauerkraut (Sauerkraut), and for the preparation of snacks and various soups. Among the latter, potato soup with sausages, pea soup with sausage, as well as the popular Berlin Eintopf, thick rich soup, replacing the whole lunch.

German cuisine on weekdays

• As the first course is dominated by various soups in the cities - broths. The second course is served as a side dish with various vegetables (in winter – canned cauliflower, green bean pods, carrots), in the countryside – more stewed sauerkraut. Of all the meats on the menu, the Germans are dominated by pork. Fruit jams are served for Breakfast. Various cookies are baked from wheat flour.

• There is a very wide range of different egg dishes. Among them are stuffed eggs, baked eggs with milk sauce and cheese, with tomatoes and fried potatoes, scrambled eggs with smoked herring, omelet with potatoes and sauce. Among the sweet dishes are very popular fruit salads with sauces and syrups, compotes, jelly, mousse, ice cream, fruit. Food should not be spicy, so spices and seasonings should be laid in moderation. Fruit salads are served chilled.

• Germans have breakfast twice. The first breakfast – very light and simple – starts around six in the morning. It consists of juice, coffee with milk or cream, rolls with marmalade or jam. Sometimes drink tea, which serves sandwiches with cheese and butter.

• Second Breakfast, the Germans are quite abundant. By the number and composition of dishes, this Breakfast resembles our lunch, although it is held at 10-11 o'clock in the morning. It offers a varied range of cold snacks, first, second and dessert dishes. Do not forget to apply the famous soup «eintopf». The Germans believe that soup for Breakfast helps to create the basis of good mood and well-being for the whole day. In addition to thick soups, the second Breakfast offers clear, mashed, sweet soups with honey, raisins and dried fruits. If dry soup was served, the second can be offered vegetable or fish dishes. Often they are replaced by baked, fried meat products or grilled poultry, game.

• The Germans attach great importance to dessert. Very fond of cottage cheese puddings and ice cream with fruit, cookies, syrup. Sometimes dessert replaces oatmeal, sprinkled with sugar and cinnamon, or fruit, berries, cheese, cottage cheese, fruit sandwiches .

• For dinner you can enjoy cold appetizers of meat, poultry, vegetables, fish, potato or cottage cheese salad, which is prepared with a variety of additives – fresh or salted vegetables, and even meat. Then offer second hot dishes of poultry, game, pork and beef. Sausages or small fried sausages are very popular. All meals are served with butter. Mandatory mineral and fruit water. The second Breakfast includes beer, and on holidays-natural wines, liqueurs and vodka.

Drinks

• For drinks Germans prefer black coffee with milk or with cream, Seltzer water and traditional German drink – beer. It was known to the ancient Germans. Tea use is limited. Distinguish light and dark beer is bitter sweet. From strong alcoholic drinks drink schnapps (such as vodka), wines are made a little, as the country has few vineyards. According to the tradition, still strong alcoholic beverages drink mostly after eating, not biting. Between the Alps and the North sea, the people drank beer the most. As a result of rationalization, some Breweries have closed, but still the German trade offers more than a thousand Beers. The constantly growing consumption of wine, to which the Germans honor the delicious food, is striking. Every year especially increases the consumption of dry wine, for eating it drink more often.

Christmas food

• German-speaking countries begin to celebrate Christmas in the evening of December 24. On the Holy night or Christmas Eve clean the yard and the house, decorate the Christmas tree, light candles, bake various pastries, pies, prepare meals. This day is lean. Before you sit down at the Christmas table, go to the sauna. Only then the family can taste the Christmas ham (ham).

• Meal is arranged in Catholic areas only after Christmas mass, late at night. There should be nine mandatory Christmas dishes on the table: fried sausage with stewed cabbage, roasted goose or carp, pork knuckle or rabbit, duck or Turkey, salad or green cabbage, Apple pie, cookies or buns with cream jam and, of course, bread and salt.

Ostern food

• Sunday traditionally begins with a family holiday Breakfast, the children on this day are looking for hidden in the house or in the garden Easter eggs, which brings and hides the Ostern Bunny. All of Germany's Easter, eat chocolate rabbits and chocolate eggs.

Oktoberfest - the main autumn festival.

• Bavaria has a reputation as a place where you must eat well. The festival offers not only local Bavarian dishes, but also dishes from other regions of Germany. Guests of the holiday beer is sold in more than 350 outlets. The holiday offers a feeling for everyone: for young and old, with attractions and shows, and, of course, food and drinks.

• Germans drink really a lot at Oktoberfest. They drink beer with huge liter mugs, which are called "mass". Break is not to give to the guests: the sight of the empty mass, the waitress hurries to take the order for a new one. It is not surprising that after the amount of drunk (the fortress of festive beer is not less than six degrees), many citizens move around Munich, as on the deck of a ship in a stormy sea. But tipsy guests are not in danger. The police are also Bavarians. They understand: beer is a sacred thing.

Interesting facts

• - Germans made a special semi-dark and quite strong beer for Oktoberfest "Oktoberfestbier".
• - During the holiday more than 5 million liters of beer are drunk, 14 thousand pigs, 400 thousand portions of sausages and 600 thousand portions of chicken are eaten.
• - A mug of beer costs 6 Euros at the festival, although on ordinary days and in the usual beer it costs about 1.5-2 Euros.

Thanksgiving holiday

• Traditional food at this time is a soup of sausage broth and brains. The first was beef noodle soup, the second – lamb with rice porridge, and for dessert – watermelons or cold beet puree. After lunch, men talk about the harvest and public affairs, and women about the garden and relatives. Then the guests say goodbye and invite the hosts to their village on the following Sunday.

• In the second half of the day the children receive from their parents a bit of money on Goodies, and the youth and adults gather to play, to dance and drink. The streets are lively.

Сonclusion

• It is often said that German cuisine is rough, heavy for the stomach and devoid of elegance. But how bad food can't be tasty? For example, Swiss fondue, a national gastronomic masterpiece! And just something, cheese, melted in a pot of wine, which dip dried bread and eat. But tasty! On the sophistication of the French frog legs or stewed Maltese rabbit is generally silent. Your stomach hurts? So is a little in the same Russian cuisine is heavy food? Same pies! Therefore, it is more accurate to say about the German cuisine that it is simple, tasty, and nourishing... various. What is eaten in the North may not know in the South and the same sausages are prepared everywhere differently. Importantly-tasty and satisfying!
