5 Franconian Food Favorites

Traditional southern German delights to die for

Living in Australia is great, don’t get me wrong. But, oh, how I miss the food from across the pond! Having spent many of my formative years in the city of Nuremberg in the southern German state of Bavaria (well, in Franconia to be exact, as locals will quickly let you know!), I have acquired quite a taste for the local Franconian cuisine — and boy is it delicious!

Here are my top 5 Franconian food favorites that I miss dearly:

1. Lebkuchen

When you think of Nuremberg, the popular Christmas market with all its delicacies and mulled wine springs to mind. A sure favorite is the famous Nuremberg gingerbread. These round treats come in several varieties, either glazed, plain or covered in chocolate. (Psst: My personal secret tip is the delectable marzipan Lebkuchen variety!) Lebkuchen always remind me of my grandma baking and getting me treats from her local bakery in the lead-up to Christmas. There’s nothing more heart-warming than the sights and scents of a German bakery in winter, with snow falling outside and a festive spirit in the air.

2. Laugenbreze mit Emmentaler

Throughout the old town of Nuremberg, you’ll find food stalls that sell the most delicious goods. Among them are soft pretzels with either salt, butter, or Emmental cheese. The dough of the lye pretzels is soft and tasty, perfectly complemented by the nutty full flavor of the Emmental cheese. To die for! Emmental pretzels remind me of strolling through the old town of Nuremberg with my friends, feeling independent for the first time, and treating ourselves to a snack on the go before hitting the next clothing store.

Franconia has its very own, popular bakery chain, Der Beck. From the most delicious sweet pastries to tasty rustic sandwiches and — much to the shock of many overseas visitors — Baileys lattes, Der Beck has it all. My recommendation is the Nussschnecke (literally a ‘nut snail’, but fret not: no snails were harmed in the making of this pastry!). Reminiscent of cinnamon buns, these soft and nutty treats will delight connoisseurs with a sweet tooth. I remember fondly sneaking into the bakery before or after school and buying one of these delectable pastries.

4. Schweinebraten mit Kloss

A staple favorite in the Franconian cuisine is the good old roast pork with potato dumplings. The meat is slow-cooked and melts in your mouth and the gravy it comes with is very tasty. This savory favorite is typically served with a Franconian side salad and sure to fill you up for hours! Naturally, I have many memories of weekend family lunches in a traditional Franconian tavern, with Schweinebraten on the menu and often my dad’s top choice.

5. 3 im Weggla

No visit to Nuremberg would be complete without a taste of THE most famous dish the medieval city has to offer: 3 im Weggla, or 3 mini sausages in a bread roll. Usually served with mustard, these traditional Nuremberg brats are sold by street vendors galore. In traditional restaurants, you can get them with sauerkraut (with a choice of 6, 12, or 18 of them!), but street stalls sell them in a crusty roll to enjoy on the go. Just follow your nose because the delicious aroma of fried sausages wafts through the streets of the entire old town of Nuremberg!
