In the Middle Ages, sausage was an immensely popular food due to its ability to last in storage without spoiling and its balance of vitamins, minerals and calories. People enjoyed snacking on it all day long during carnival celebrations as a special treat!
Today, Nuremberg sausage remains immensely popular and can be enjoyed in various ways. Most often served in a bun with mustard and sauerkraut, however it can also be enjoyed as a snack or hearty breakfast dish. Furthermore, during Advent season many stands offer Nuremberg sausage as they grill it at city Christmas markets.
Traditional sausage lovers will savor a “Bratwurst Glocklein”, consisting of three small bratwursts that have been grilled before being placed onto bread, decorated with mustard, fried onions and the sausage’s own cooking oil. A delight for all those who appreciate delicious food!
Visits to a “Bratwurst Glocklein” are unforgettable experiences. The old taverns with their wooden tables, bull’s-eye windows, and post-and-beam walls create the ideal environment for experiencing this essential part of Nuremberg culture.
Lebkuchen
Lebkuchen is an aromatic honey-dough cake and one of the cornerstones of German baking, known for its intense honey flavor and exotic spice mix. A holiday favorite and year-round delight, its recipe has its origins in medieval Europe where monks first created this special treat using honey as its base ingredient and adding aromatic spices like ginger or cinnamon for both aromatic allure and perceived healing properties – these early monastic cakes often resemble communion wafers.
Lebkuchen honey-dough is soft and malleable, easily moulding itself into various shapes by hand or cookie cutters. Once baked, its honey glaze covers it completely; some varieties contain dried fruits, nuts, chocolate or icing sugar as ingredients while other are decorated by skilled decorators with intricate royal icing designs piped onto cooled, baked Lebkuchens by their creators.
Lebkuchen uses a honey-dough recipe with sugar and butter as its foundation, creating a dense cake-like texture. A variety of spices such as cinnamon, allspice and nutmeg enhance its taste further; green cardamom extract and vanilla extract may also be added for further complexity – these all should be finely ground to release their full potential flavors in your bite!
These ingredients give Lebkuchen its distinct, sweet-and-spicy taste, making it both satisfyingly sweet and spicy at the same time. Enjoy it plain or with a chocolate coating for maximum enjoyment. Adding chopped nuts or fillings such as cherries to the dough before shaping cookies or other shapes is also popular.
Today, Lebkuchen can be found both at supermarkets and family bakeries; many families also make batches themselves at home using an easy recipe that involves refrigerating and then kneading before shaping and glazing. For best results, opt for either an airtight metal Lebkuchen pan or store your Lebkuchens with an apple slice to keep them fresh while preventing mold growth.
