San Diego German Restaurants

German cuisine should be noted for fantastic baked goods. Heavy, rich foods and various preserved foods (pickled cabbage, sausage, etc.) are typical of "burgerlich" (bourgeois) cuisine, which wealthier homes have historically eaten. Butter and rich foods such as cheese and sour cream are used to flavor dishes more than herbs and spices, but one of the classic accompaniments to home fries (Bratkartoffel) is Grüne Soße, which is made with a hefty quantity of fresh green herbs. Onions, leeks and garlic are also used frequently, but are sometimes viewed with skepticism by older people.

German food selection includes cheeses, meats, desserts, sauces, spreads, oils, vinegars and many others.
