Guten Tag! The topic of today is Fr\u00fc<\/span>hst<\/span>\u00fc<\/span><\/strong>ck<\/strong> (breakfast), but with a twist. I\u2019d like to share some information about the traditional Bavarian breakfast with you. <\/span><\/p>\n

A traditional Bavarian breakfast consists of the following:<\/span><\/h3>\n

D<\/span>ie Wei<\/span>\u00df<\/span><\/strong>wurst<\/strong>
\nLiterally \u2018white sausage\u2019, this is a sausage made from minced veal and pork bacon, seasoned with parsley, ginger, onions, lemon and cardamom. The Wei<\/span>\u00df<\/span>wurst is served in connected pairs. To eat it, you must first cut it down the middle, then remove its skin.<\/span><\/p>\n

Der (S<\/span><\/strong>\u00fc\u00df)Senf<\/strong>
\nMustard \u2013 or sweet mustard \u2013 is <\/span>used as a condiment for the <\/span>Wei<\/span>\u00df<\/span>wurst.<\/span><\/p>\n

Die Brezel (or \u2018Brezn\u2019 in Bavarian dialect!)<\/strong>
\nThis is what we call a pretzel in English. While a regular German breakfast often includes any type of Brot<\/strong> (bread) or Br<\/strong><\/span>\u00f6<\/span><\/strong>tchen<\/strong> (bread roll), the traditional Bavarian breakfast always includes a Brezel!<\/span><\/p>\n

Das Bier<\/span><\/strong>
\nBeer. Yes, believe it or not, beer is an integral part of the traditional Bavarian breakfast! Specifically, <\/span>Bavarians <\/span>drink a type of beer called Hefeweizen<\/strong> <\/span>for breakfast<\/span>, which is different from other beers in that it is made from malted wheat and, <\/span>apparently,<\/span> helps the digestion process. Not that Bavarians need a nutritional reason to drink beer before noon – it’s just part of their culture, and even has a name: Fr\u00fchschoppen.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
