When it comes to German cuisine,

Sell ​​a variety of German ravioli specialties,
among themSausage bratwurstJustA big signboard!

Sausages are usually made from pork or beef,
Fried or grilled,
It can also be cooked with broth or beer,
It goes well with sauerkraut, mashed potatoes and roasted onions.

Curry sausageWorth a try
The clerk would slice the grilled, oily sausages piece by piece,
Topped with special curry sauce and sandwiched into bread;
Besides the curry aroma,
And the sweet and sour of tomato sauce,
With sauerkraut is more refreshing and tired.

The best-selling one is spinach., Bavarian,

Grilled cheese and jalapeno flavor.

 Tips at the end of the article🎄 
In my opinion,
If putEat foodFor the purpose of coming to the Christmas market,
Then it ’s better to have a mental preset, that is,
Experience the atmosphere more than the taste of the food.

Most shops are not allowed to swipe cards,
And the food is so expensive.
If you want to buy a few samples,
It is recommended to bring 30 knives + cash per person.
(There are also ATM machines in the market to withdraw money)
anyway,Despite having been here many times,
I still want to check in every winter.
Overlooking the outline of the city,
Skyscrapers soar into the grey-blue sky,
Clear and cold
Can oftenIn this market,
Fire tree silver flowers throbbing.
It makes people feel extra warm!
