Do Germans eat Berliner?
-
Thanks to our Living Language Online friend David, here are a few yummy food items straight from the map of Germany:
Berliner - a puffy sweet doughnut, especially popular during "Fasching" (Carnival)
Hamburger - well, we all know what that is :-)
Nürnberger - a really tasty pork-based sausage, pan-fried or grilled - the most popular German sausage
Regensburger - another sausage, a mix of beef & pork, cold smoked, very flavorfull
Guten Appetit!!

While we're on the subject of health foods we can't forget Schwarzwald kuchen mit eine tasse kaffee. (Black forest cake with a cup of coffee). :-)With American football season upon us here in the U.S., I'm curious if Germans have tailgate parties before their football(soccer) games like we do? If so what do they have? I'm looking to try something new that my friends may have never had.

Well, in Munich you get served white Sausages with sweet mustard and fresh brezels - Weißwurst mit süßem Senf und frischen Brezeln :-) Und natürlich Bier!!!

That sounds like a cool tailgate party! Since German loves making compound words, how would you express "tailgate party" auf Deutsch? I think Trektech needs a nice sign with his pretzels and Wurst!

hahaha, that's a good one!! In German we call it Parkplatz-Picknick - where you serve and eat hearty food out of your open car or pickup truck :-)
But tailgate parties are truly more of an American invention. When I was a child in Germany, men used to go to a "Früh-schoppen" (morning pint) in a beer hall before a soccer game. Again, Bier, Wurst und Brezeln are the fare :-) Or, somebody hosts and you eat it at their home to be strengthend "gestärkt" (and slightly wound up) for the game (smile).
