THE GERMAN EATING HABBITS

The Germans have

three main meals.
German cuisine to a
large extent is made up
of dairy and meat
products. Of course the
preparation of the meals
differs greatly but the
staple products remain
the same. In this table I’ll
tell you more about their
habits as you can also
see.
 FRÜHSTÜCK
- Frühstück is breakfast but in German.
-
As breakfast it’s usually simple like cheese, eggs,
cold cuts, breads…
-
They like to drink coffee and tea just like us, our
breakfasts are quite similar.
- The cold cuts include meats like ham and salami
these are often paired with cheeses it kinda reminds
me of a cheese plate.
-
The picture on the left is a German cold cuts
example.
-
They say that “frühstück” is really important for
germans.
 MITTAGESSEN
In most houses that still follow the traditional
eating habits, the main meal is even today lunch
or Mittagessen which is consumed somewhere
around 12 PM.
Any house that you visit will generally serve
you a meal that comprises meat and vegetables
with potatoes being a major constituent of the
meal. In Catholic families, meat is often replaced
by fish or egg on Fridays.
The image on the left is Currywurst its really
common in Germany.
 ABENDESSEN
-
Also known as Abendbrot, the dinner has
always been the smallest of all the meals
that are consumed in a German household,
but with eating habits changing, this has
today become the most important meal,
since this is when families come together.
-
This meal comprises bread, meat, sausage,
cheese, vegetables, etc.
-
This meal is often eaten at about 6 PM and
another thing I found interesting they drink
coffee with their meal.
-
The picture is a food called
“rinderroulanden”it’s rolled beef and you roll
it with dill pickles and bacon sometimes you
-
add mustard and switch it up as you want.
-
-
They have different
foods for different
occasions but they
like eating schnitzel,
lots and lots of beer,
Brezel, Black Forest
cake…
