Eating in Karlsruhe
What to eat (if you want to try something typical):
Flammkuchen: kind of similar to pizza, but with a a much thinner pastry and topped with sour cream instead of tomato sauce. Most typical toppings are onions and bacon, but there are many variants (in particular some very tasty sweet ones that come flambéed). Just order one after the other (they get cold very fast), always sharing each one with everyone on the table.
Käsespätzle: a special kind of pasta in a heavy cheese sauce.
Gebratene Maultaschen: kind of like Ravioli, but much larger and fried with onions. May sound strange, but you really can't do much wrong with these.
Wurstsalat: Sausage Salad; well, its Germany after all. Comes with bread and is really quite tasty.
Hackepeter: Raw minced meat with fresh onions and bread. You don't get this very often (but for example at Vogelbräu).
Yufka Döner: A kind of döner but a wrap is used instead of proper bread. Sold in dozens of places it is probably the cheapest way to get a complete meal.
