Lots of sausage, beer and bread? Well yes, Germans love their cold meats, refreshing beers and freshly baked breads but there is actually a lot more to German cuisine than <strong>\u201csausage\u201d<\/strong>. Did you know, for example, that in the afternoon most German people have coffee and cake?<\/p>\n<p>They also enjoy a continental breakfast, which includes crusty rolls with either cheese, cold meat, jam or a chocolate spread. Cereal or Muesli with milk or yoghurt is another popular breakfast choice. Coffee, tea or juice is a welcome beverage in the mornings.<\/p>\n<p>Lunches and dinners vary in Germany as every county has its own specialities.
