A sampling of a few fine Deutsch morsels that I came across:
Sausage (Wurst) is probably the most well-known German food (besides beer). Though the Bratwurst and Currywurst are probably the most famous variants, there are a plethora of regional specialities. My favourite is shown above, the Krakauer.
For lunch, I usually ate at the University cafeteria, the Mensa, which served traditional German food everyday. The dishes usually included some kind of boiled vegetable and some manner of potato or bread with meat, sausage, or, on Fridays, fish. The dish above (Kartoffel Nudeln) may look like noodles, but it is actually made of potato!
Overall, the quality of food (Lebensmittel) from the markets in Germany is usually higher than that in North America, and I was particularly impressed by some of the fruit: German cherries (Kirschen) and strawberries (Erdbeeren) for instance are small, sweet, and very tasty—much better than the stuff from California
German bread and dairy products are very cheap (29 cents for 250 g of yoghurt!) and sold everywhere. More types of bread (brötchen) and baguette sandwiches than you can imagine are available at the train stations—above is breakfast on the train during my trip Brussels
Germany has a large immigrant population, particularly from Eastern Europe . Ethic foods like Turkish and Greek are very popular and fulfill the role of “fast food”. Much better quality than American fast food, though: three Euros buys a huge Döner, fresh Turkish bread stuffed with vegetables and beef or chicken, ready in a minute!

Finally, German desserts deserve mention, such as Quark (curds) with syrupy fruit, ice cream (Softeis), or one of the many types of cake (Kuchen), such as the Black Forest Gateau (Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte) from the south.
