Whether vegetarian or a dedicated meat-eater, there’s something to suit all tastes on a German menu. Carnivores can tuck into a huge schnitzel, topped with anything from fried eggs to creamy mushroom sauce. Alternatively, if you find yourself in the north, tuck into a plate of Labskaus, corned beef mixed with beetroot and potato.
