We travel to Germany, not only to understand their history, but also enjoy German cuisine. German pig knuckle is a famous cuisine. There are many practices of pig knuckle in Germany. Southern Germany, Northern Germany, their cooking methods are different, people are simply summarized as "South roast, cook the North."






In southern Germany, the usual method is to roast knuckle of pork, called Schweinshaxe, crispy but not dry, with sauerkraut. In northern Germany, the usual method is boiled knuckle of pork, Eisbein generally refers to cook. Pig knuckle, it and sausages, beer, just as the famous German cuisine!
 

We want a pig knuckle package takes about 20.5 euros, mainly includes three sample feeding: knuckle of pork, mashed potatoes, and sour cabbage. Waiters served the pig knuckle, its weight is quite large, as the size of a whole chicken. Packages have to distinguish between men and women. The main difference: Men for whole of pigs knuckle, looks quite rough, vigorous, it seems they do not care to eat with. The lady for a pig knuckle was removed in the middle of a large bone, and cut into uniform three-piece, so that when the meat can maintain their elegant imageIn addition, the mashed potatoes were made ​​into spherical or upside down like rice pudding, sour cabbage appetizer filaments were made ​​of radish, also comes with a package that contains sesame seeds, salt, pepper and a special sauce.

We taste with knife and fork, roasted knuckle of pork skin is very crispy, delicious meat inside, soft and juicy, fresh get a bit salty too tasty. Their approach is to first knuckle of pork with salt and marinate for two days, so that they fully absorb the salt, wine taste, then into the oven baking, eating up so salty, sweet, crisp, crisp characteristics.

In Germany, on the streets, as well as takeaway pig knuckle, as little as € 3, you can let the waiter wrapped with aluminum foil insulation, easy to take, much cheaper than restaurants. If you want to eat on the spot, you can buy a cup of Coke. But outside the sale of pigs knuckle taste, of course, less than a restaurant.
