    every region in germany is different food wise. In Bavaria and Swabia for instance has a lot in common with Switzerland and Ausria. Those foods consist of Pork, beef, and poultry mainly.
    All throughout Germany pork is the most popular meat to eat. Suasage is another very popular thing that was mostly eaten by people in winter months when is was easier to get.

    A famous polish dish is Kielbasa and Cabbage. The ingridients used in this dish are cabbage, onion, potatos, salt, caraway seed,kielbasa sausage,and chicken broth. Ingridients that are not commonly used in the USA would be kielbasa sausage and caraway seed. These are used more in traditonal polish foods. You put all ingidients in a crockpot, add chicken broth,and cook 2-4 hours. Enjoy!:P

    Fish and chips

    Pour all the vegetable oil into a deep pan or deep fat fryer, and heat to 300 degrees F (160 degrees C.) Blanch the cut potatoes in the oil until soft, but not colored, about 4 minutes. Remove and drain.

    Mix together the flour and the beer, then fold in the egg whites. Turn up the heat of the oil to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Dip the fish in the batter and fry for a few minutes with the chips until golden brown.

    Drain on kitchen paper and serve with bread and butter, wally's (battered, deep fried pickles served with ranch dressing), and pickled eggs.

    The Polish dish paczki is basically an American doughnut but better tasting. Paczki is most commonly eaten on Fat Tuesday in America, and on Fat Thursday in Poland. None of the ingrediants made in Paczki can not be found here in the States. All the ingrediants are relatively easy to obtain. They can be filled with many things from cream to jam or even fruits.

    I have been to Poland many times. While I was there I tried Bigos which is a hunters stew. It is very tasty and good to eat. I also had pork knuckle while I was there. It is ok I really didn't enjoy it that much but I wouldn't mind eatting it again.
