Bavarian cuisine is famous for “Schweinsbraten” roast from pig, “Bratw�rstl” sausages, “N�rnberger Bratwurst”, probably the smallest sausage in Germany, “Weisswurst” sausage made from veal, “Leberk�se” meatloaf, “Schweinshaxe” grilled pork leg as well as a variety of different “Kn�del” dumplings and “Kartoffelsalat” potato salad.
Also in the Oberallg�u, the southwesternmost part of bavaria, the traditional food is “K�sspatzen”, made with much Bavarian cheese. Also, some Gasthaus's have various season specials based on what is available locally at that time. There can be specials like Truffle dishes in the southern mountain areas, specialty mushrooms in the Oberpfalz area, seasonal Salmon dishes on the Donau / Altmuhl river area, local trout specials in all small villages, and during hunting season there are occasional fresh wild boar and venison dishes - Bavaria is a gastronomic wonderland!
