The setting for enjoying these culinary delicacies ranges from a vaulted medieval cellar to an elegant castle restaurant, with the one offering hearty meals in the style of the Middle Ages and the other a princely dinner under brilliant chandeliers.
Thuringian grilled sausage
“Rostbratwurst”
The fried sausage is the epitome of German cuisine. Its regional variety, the “Rostbratwurst”, is the best of them all.
The production goes back to ancient traditions, with the oldest recipe dating from 1404. The sausage contains finely minced pork, salt and pepper, cumin, marjoram and garlic. It must be charcoal-grilled and is traditionally served in a bun.
The wonderful smell of the charcoal smoke is also called “Thuringian incense”!
By the way, no producer will ever tell you his exact recipe!
Thuringian potato dumplings
As legends tell, the South of Thuringia is the home of the potato dumpling.
The recipe sounds easy but to prepare perfect dumplings it certainly needs some practice: Mix a quantity of raw grated potatoes with a quantity of boiled and mashed potatoes and fill the mixture with croutons. Shape the mixture into balls and simmer them in hot water for about 20 minutes. The result is a delicious accompaniment to every kind of roast.
Enjoy your meal!
