Hamburg Specialities
Many holiday-makers love finding out what kind of regional cuisine is on offer at their holiday destination. And some visitors to Hamburg will even try the typically North German speciality “Labskaus”. This meat dish is very popular in Scandinavia and Northern Germany and is made out of beef mince, pickled herring, beetroot, onions and gherkins, which are turned through the grinder and cooked, served with a fried egg.
Other Hamburg specialities include Hamburg eel soup and the blood soup “Schwarzsauer”, although many tourists will find a “Franzbrötchen” more appealing, a sugary, cinnamon baked treat. Another sweet northern treat is “Rote Grütze”, a red fruit jelly that has now found wide popularity throughout the rest of Germany.
