German Food
Germans started the traditions of the Easter eggs and Easter Bunnies. Gummy bears also came from Germany.
Gingerbread is very popular during Christmas time and the gingerbread house originated in Germany.
Some German foods are bratwurst (sausage), sauerkraut (cabbage), goulash (beef/pork) served with noodles, and schnitzel (pork/veal).
Today, I will have you sample chocolate, gummy bears, and cookies all from Germany.
