Tu sú jedlá, ktoré musíte v Norimbergu vyskúšať.
Nürnberg Rostbratwurst
A trip to Nuremberg is not complete without sampling its delicious finger-sized sausages of the same name. Whether a quick meal packed three in a roll (drei im weggla) or served as a sit-down version with fork and knife, Nürnberg rostbratwurst are an essential part of any visit to this Bavarian city. These sausages are also the most popular in Germany and more than 3 million are produced each day.
With a nearly 1,000-year-long history, these little sausages must be no longer than 9 centimeters (3.5 inches) and weigh no more than 25 grams (0.88 ounces). The coarsely ground pork sausage is seasoned with marjoram, salt, pepper, ginger, cardamom, and lemon powder. Culinary standards in Germany have always been high and this humble sausage is now protected under the Protected Geographic Indication (PGI) like the Kölsch beer from Cologne or Spreewald’s famous pickle.

- Bratwurst Glöcklein: This restaurant has been cooking Nürnberger rostbratwurst since 1313 and is the oldest sausage kitchen in Nuremberg.

- Bratwurst Röslein: In the heart of the Old Town, this Franconian restaurant has also been serving delicious Nürnberger rostbratwurst for hundreds of years. Since 1431, Bratwurst Röslein has been serving this classic dish and is now the largest Bratwurst restaurant in the world with room for up to 600 guests.
Schäuferle
Pork shoulder is a German classic, and Franconian Schäuferle is the Nuremberg version. Here, it is prepared by treating pig’s shoulder meat, pork rind, and bones in salt, pepper, and cumin. Baked with beer and vegetables over several hours, by the time it is served the meat is so tender it is nearly falling off the bone. In other versions, the rind is crispy but here it is mouthwatering and soft.
This hearty meal is usually served with Knödel (potato dumplings) and gravy, but any kind of potato will do. The meat is the star of a Sunday dinner, or anytime you are visiting the city’s many restaurants.

Enter through its charming half-timbered facade to find warm service and a historic interior. Among its many seasonal specialties, Schäuferle is a constant. Finish a meal with a healthy dose of schnapps.
Beer
There are many that believe a German meal is not worth having without a German beer. The region of Bavaria has more breweries than any other in Germany and the city of Nuremberg has over 700 years of brewing history. Among the many styles available from lager to bockbier to weissbier, rotbier is a favorite. Original Nuremberg red beer is bottom-fermented and still brewed in adherence to the Reinheitsgebot (Germany’s Beer Purity Law).
While the words “German beer festival” may only bring up one particular Oktoberfest, there are several festivals—like the Fränkisches Bierfest—that showcase all that Nuremberg has to offer. Visitors should also try to visit the rock-cut cellars underneath the streets of Nuremberg where beer was traditionally kept cool so it wouldn’t spoil.

Brezn
Soft pretzels are called bretzels or simply brezn in Nuremberg. This is a favorite snack, Biergarten staple, and even part of a well-rounded Bavarian breakfast. They are best served warm and can be covered in cheese, ready to be dunked in mustard, or split and filled with things like schmalz (rendered chicken or duck fat) or butter and chives.
