The dish I most associate with Germany is "Rote Grutze," a fruit pudding that has as many variations as trifle. I first tasted it in Hamburg staying with the family of the German exchange student who spent a year at my high school in Michigan. Her aunt and uncle put me up for longer visits than they might have liked in 1966 and 1968, and I've stayed in touch with Wiltrud and her family ever since. Wiltrud e-mailed me a few days ago that "Tante Ingried," who decided it was easier to live with a misspelled first name than try to get German bureaucracy to correct her birth certificate, died just before Christmas at age 94, so the dessert I couldn't get enough of has been on my mind. She was one of the most warmhearted people I've ever known, and her great joy in life was making sure her family and guests were well-fed, I'm making a contribution in her memory to one of the food banks here in Los Angeles, which are struggling as badly as everywhere else. Frohe neues Jahr an alle!

You are in the Cologne area - but the dishes you ate aren't really the usual ones of that area. Käsespätze actually are a Swabian dish from the Stuttgart area - the Flammkuchen a dish from the nearby french Alsace region and the Knuckles bavarian. I pin "Rheinischen Sauerbraten with Klößen" - marinated and braised beef with dumplings - as something examplary for the region you ate in. If you get near Frankfurt try "Frankfurter Grüne Soße" (a joghurt dish with 8 herbs served with potatoes and eggs) or "Handkäse mit Musik" (a special marinated cheese with a lot of onions) - both are usually served vegetarian. (There is special sausages of the area, too). Drink Eppler (cider) with it. When you pass the swabian area on your trip to Italy try some Maultaschen - they are a pasta dish in which meat is hidden - or Spätzle as a side dish to all kind of meats with sauce or again as Käsespätzle.
Like with every dish - how good a Schnitzel is has a lot to do with the quality of the meat and the cook.
At home we used to have the "Kartoffelpuffer" as a side dish to hearty soup on cold days and "killed" the rest of them with apple sauce after that.

i love people enjoying the food that i have enjoyed for my entire life. also i admire your adventure spirit. while raw pork may sound strange to some people, it is really nothing else than order a hamburger medium-rare. your enthusiasm to try new things is very uplifting in these times. i am looking forward to see more of you <3

If Käsespätzle are "the German version of mac and cheese", then Rolly Royce is the English version of Fiat Panda.
