German Food
Germany is famous for its sausages and cheeses. It is said that there are over 1,000 different types of German sausage. Sausages are often served with sauerkraut. Germans usually eat a large meal in the afternoon and a smaller meal in the evening.

This is a breakfast dish, called Kaiserschmarren. It's a kind of pancake that's smushed up like scrambled eggs, with raisins, then sprinkled with powdered sugar, and applesauce is on the side. There is a story behind this dish. I'll tell it to you. Once there was a bratty king. The royal cook kept making different kinds of pancakes, but the king hated all of them. The cook got so mad that he went back into the kitchen, smushed up the pancakes in his anger, gave it to the king, and said "THERE! Take THIS if you won't eat anything else!!" But the king said, "Perfect!" and he loved it. The End.

This is Reismilch, which literally means Rice Milk. It may seem like a dessert, but is usually eaten as a main course in a meal. It's a little less sweet than rice pudding, but one can put nutmeg or another spice to make it sweeter, on top.

This is Nußtorte, in English, NutTorte. A Torte (pronounced tohr teh) is simply a cake with layers. There are all kinds. The Nußtorte uses either almonds or pecans in the cake and the cream.
