"Fire Tongs", "Dead Aunt", "Cry of the Cat", "Cold Dog"... These are not the names of horror films, but of popular German dishes and drinks.
We tell you about seven strange dishes of German cuisine that foreigners are afraid to try, but Germans adore.
What strange dishes do they eat in Germany
As reported by the Zen channel “Alone in someone else’s garden. About travel and more”, the German dish “Cold dog” (Kalter Hund) is a dessert made of cookies and chocolate, reminiscent of our chocolate sausage.
"False hare" (Falscher Hase) is a baked meatloaf made from ground pork and ground beef (in a 1:1 ratio) with onions, boiled eggs, flour and breadcrumbs.
The recipe for a dish called "Cat's Cry" (Katzengeschrei) can be described as follows: everything that is lying around in the refrigerator (leftover sausage and vegetables, yesterday's pasta) is put in a frying pan, pickled cucumbers are added, pepper is added and an egg is poured over it.
"Half a rooster" (halber Hahn) - sandwiches with cheese, pickled cucumber and mustard.
The dish "Dead Grandmother" (tote Oma) is fried blood sausage with boiled potatoes and sauerkraut.
"Dead Aunt" (tote Tante) and "Fire Tongs Strike" (Feuerzangenbowle) are drinks.
The first is hot chocolate with whipped cream and rum, the second is a punch made from red wine, juice and spices. The trick to the "Fire Tongs Strike" is rum-soaked sugar, which is set on fire and held in tongs over a mug until it melts and drips into the punch.
