German Cuisine

During my trip to Europe we went to Neuschwanstein Castle. During this day trip we went and had lunch at a restaurant in an area below the castle. At the restaurant I got to try some German food for the first time. Normally I would choose a "safe" choice at a restaurant, such as chicken fingers and fries, but this time I decided to be a little more adventurous. I had bratwurst, sauerkraut and whipped potatoes and to my surprise I really enjoyed it. Bratwurst is similar to a regular sausage. I have tried sauerkraut before and I did not like it, but in this meal it was delicious and accompanied the bratwurst perfectly, making the meal very flavorful. Lastly, the potatoes were not my favorite part. They were so smooth and had a different flavor than what I am used to. I decided I did not like it as much as I like mashed potatoes; they were too smooth for my liking. In addition to the food, the service was wonderful. The waitress was friendly and our food was prepared very quickly. I thought the presentation of the food was good and the atmosphere of the restaurant was welcoming and authentic. Overall, it was a good experience trying new foods from a different culture and I was looking forward to trying other new foods! Below is a picture of the meal I chose and the menu. As you can see on the menu there is a picture of Neuschwanstein Castle. This is a restaurant I would definitely recommend to others to go to, to have a quick tasty meal!
