  That is more of a southern thing if not Austrian

    I don’t think there even is a true Pan-German dish. Everything is regional in germany. And sourhern germany is still germany.

      I’d wager bread and Bratwurst are the main pan-German dishes with minor differences in style

        Bread in general is a pan-world dish

        Bratwurst, minor differences? Mate, there are many generic Bratwürste and then there are things like Thüringer. They are world class. No need for ketchup or anything, eat it as is or in a bun, it is juicy and super tasty.

    Apfelstrudel is definitely not just a southern treat. Germknödel / Hefedampfnudeln are a regional (and delicious) food. Other typical south german foods would probably be schweinshaxe and several types of sausages specific to that region. Also all the austrian versions of foods such as palatschinken

      Before you say that, maybe read the history of those treats first. Apfelstrudel is Austrian/Hungarian not even German. And Germknödel are likewise not common in Northen Germany but a Bavarian/Austrian dessert.

      Northen German desserts are Rote Grütze, Windbeutel, Franzbrötchen and Pfannkuchen as well as fruitsoup with Klütchen. All those varying from region to region some being more prevalent in the East some in the west.

      But you’re definetly wrong on your take.

        Okay im trying not to be rude here but before you accuse me of not knowing what i am taking about, perhaps read what i write at all. I know the impulse to be snarky is strong on the internet but still, at least put the minimum effort in.

        I did not at any point refer to historical origins of any food. I stated where these kinds of food are being eaten these days; according to my experience. Strudel is a commonplace dessert around the holidays even here in Niedersachsen. Germknödel i specifically mentioned as a typical, southern regional food since it is a lot less common (although not entirely unknown) up here.

        If you look at the history you can describe no food as German as the concept of a unified German state is very modern.

        At best you could only describe foods regionally, but then that’s problematic because you are using terms that were applied after WW2 as many states were regrouped.

        Where does it stop?

        Honestly, it doesn’t sound like the worst combination.

        A US version would be spam and bread and butter pickles.

  And to add on that, yes German food can be very good. If you try it out though, be aware of what is regional in the area you’re in. To familiarize yourself, just read the wikipage on German food
