Three of the best restaurants of Germany can be found in Baiersbronn. You will find no other place with such a high density of Michelin-Stars awarded restaurant. By now I haven’t been to one of them but if you are a gourmet or just a fan of great food this small village is a “must see activity” in Baden-Württemberg. And I hope that soon I can give you some more detailled and first hand information.
Baden-Württemberg, renowned for the quality of its asparagus, has established an “Aparagus Road” that winds through some of the most famous asparagus producing towns in the region, including Schwetzingen (known as the “Asparagus Capital of the World”!), Reilingen, Karlsruhe, and Rastatt.
You can buy fresh asparagus right there on the farm, visit various asparagus festivals or try local asparagus dishes - yummie!!!
Fastnacht has its pastry specialties, mostly baked in schmalz or butter and very greasy.
Since during the Lent eating all products from warm-blooded animals was forbidden, all these had to be consumed before the beginning of the Lent. So people not only feasted on meat but also invented pastries that contain a lot of eggs and are baked swimming in butter or schmalz.
A specialty from Baden is named Scherben ("broken pottery") because that's what it looks and feels like. Diamond-shaped pieces of dough are baked and then covered in powdering sugar. The result is quite hard and crunchy. Better eat them outdoors because the powdered sugar will be everywhere...
