Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. You start your tour in the North, in a Mecklenburg-Vorpommern city of Rostock. The place you enter serves you a Fischbr�tchen. What exactly is it?

Answer: Fish sandwich

Literally translated as "fish sandwich", Fischbr�tchen is a sandwich with fish and onions, often served with remoulade and pickles. It is most often done with herring, widely available in Baltic sea - Rostock being a city right on the Baltic sea.

Answer: Asparagus

Bleichspargel is the white asparagus, extremely popular in Germany - the country consumes about 127,000 tons of it a year! Schwetzingen describes itself as the asparagus capital, hosting a lavish asparagus festival in early May.

Answer: Russia

Solyanka is a soup popular in Russia and Ukraine. Its name literally means "salty", and it always contains some pickles with brine. It also contains a protein - meat, fish, or mushrooms. Solyanka is easy to prepare with even sub par ingredients such as hot dogs. It made its way onto menus of many GDR restaurants during Soviet occupation.

4. You sit down to eat in D�ren; you see something on the menu that you think is the misspelling of Bratwurst. You order a Blutwurst - what do you get?

Answer: Blood sausage

Blood sausage is made by cooking blood until it is thick enough to congeal. While different animals can be used for blood sausage throughout the world, German Blutwurst is usually made of pork blood with a filling such as barley.

Answer: Cooked beef, or more traditionally horsemeat

Sauerbraten translates as "sour roast". Before roasting, the tough cuts of meat are marinated, often over several days. It is usually served with a side dish of potatoes, cabbage, or noodles.

6. A sausage you get in Frankfurt am Main is, logically enough, a Frankfurter. You learn they have to be made a certain way to be called real Frankfurters. What meat should be used?

Answer: Pure pork in mutton casings.

Since 1929, only Frankfurters made in Frankfurt am Main are allowed to use the name. All others are just pale imitations! The processed is tightly controlled; for example, Frankfurters can never be cooked, only heated in water for about eight minutes!

7. In your search for that bratwurst, you head for Landshut in Bavaria where you're given a poached potato dumpling. What might it be called?

Answer: Kn�del

Frikadeller is similar to Kn�del in shape but is essentially a meatball.
Dampfnudeln is a bread or sweet roll.
Buchteln is a sweet roll made of yeast dough with jam or other similar filling.

Answer: Weisswurst

Sp�tzle is a homemade German noodle.
Kielbasa is an Eastern European sausage.
I made up Whitewurst, though Weisswurst translates as "white sausage".

9. Exhausted, you come to Rosenheim, Bavaria and head straight for a pub. You see a whole menu of Franconian bratwurst varieties! Which one would you NOT see?

Answer: Frankfurt Bratwurst

While there are certainly Bratwursts cooked and served in Frankfurt, it is not in Franconia, a region mainly inside modern Bavaria.
W�rzburger Bratwurst is a spicy sausage with local wine. N�rnberger Rostbratwurst is a small and thin sausage, perhaps the most popular one in Germany. Fr�nkische (Franconian) Bratwurst is a relatively long coarse sausage.

10. Well, so you have found your Bratwurst at last, and it was served with a generous serving of sauerkraut. You learn that it has many health benefits. Which is NOT one of them?

Answer: It reduces bloating and flatulence.

In fact, sauerkraut regrettably increases bloating and flatulence. All the other statements are true! Naturally fermented products are especially important in the modern world where too much food comes over-processed and devoid of any "good" bacteria.
