Food in Germany and Switzerland

Just a post about the food I have eaten in Germany and Switzerland. Most of the food comes from German Christmas Market. We hunted food in all of the christmas markets in Germany. In Germany, speaking of christmas markets, there were nicely decorated! the atmosphere, lighting, musics, foods, people, performance and a huge christmas tree at the center! What i can found the most were German sausage, beef/pork, with bread or with sauce. sausage everywhere. I have been to christmas markets in Berlin, Rothenburg ob de Tauber, Munich, Frankfurt and Cologne. rated the best food was in Berlin, and the nicest decoration in Cologne! let the photos speak!

one of the christmas markets in Berlin

proffertjes: traditional dutch fluffy pancake with vanilla cream

Schwenkbraten: German grilled pork steak 

Schweinshaxe: roasted pork knuckle served with white cabbage(only managed to finish half of it~ )
Schneeballen: snowball made from shortcrust pastry which is famous in Rothenburg

to satisfy my sweet tooth 

Bratwurst: half meter long of a sausage 

brezel: salty pretzel sanwiched of butter, in Germany

continental breakfast provided by the hostel

forgotten what is it called but it is potato chips topped with fried onion and garlic sauce

gluhwein: mulled wine made with red wine and mulling spices. served in hot, it warms the stomach immediately! 

spiralkartoffeln: Spiral potatoes with garlic sour cream as topping

langos: deep fried dough with cheese and ham as toppings

crepe: very thin pancake filled with banana and nutella

bratwurst: two sausages with a bread

Augustiner Weissbier: 500mL, Most popular beer in Munich

another crepe: filled with five Raffaello chocolate

Currywurst: pork sausage cut into slices and seasoned with sauce and curry powder

we were craving for hot asian food and there it goes, laksa! (it did not taste like laksa tho) 

Pastry with cheese and egg slices on top 

Reibekuchen: German potato fritters served with apple sauce

krapfen: berliner, similar to doughnut with no central hole

fried mushrooms and onion with topping of garlic sauce

BBQ marinated pork with bread

Cheese fondue in Switzerland: bread to be dipped in the pot of melted cheese

rosti: traditional Swiss dish mainly made of potatoes with cheese! 

Miss the food in Germany! The food in Switzerland is too cheesy for me. But it's good i get the chance to try the traditional Swiss food in Switzerland, and also the traditional German food in Germany :)
