Sauerkraut, Sauerkraut, & more Sauerkraut. Es tres bonn!

Alsacien cuisine is very different from other French cuisine we've had. While Paris and southern France had the stereotypical small portions and lots of duck. Alsace has heaping portions, sausage, pork shank and yes sauerkraut. Sauerkraut was a compliment to almost every dish.

In addition, Alsace has their own take on pizza called Tarte Flambée. We never actually tried it, but they are rectangular and super thin crust. They look good, but we were never really feeling the pizza.

Surprisingly we also came to Alsace expecting wine, but were instead presented with beer. There were a lot of local brewers. The most notable was Fischer. Their "Tradition" was among our favorite European beers we've had.Læs mere
