Germany

Germany (#1) Wurst mit Sauerkraut (Sausage with Sauerkraut)

In Germany it is believed that eating wurst and sauerkraut will bring blessings, good luck and wealth for the New Year.  I can’t think of a better way to start the New Year than indulging in German sausages and recalling memories of the vacations I’ve spent in Bavaria.  I bought my sausages from my local German Sausage Company which is just a few miles from my home.  I found a winter salad recipe on germanfood.about.com which was a simple mix of thinly sliced fennel, apple, orange and red onion then drizzled with olive oil and black pepper. 

After dinner, I served Cambozola cheese which originated in Bavaria over 100 years ago.  The name is a combination of Camembert and Gorgonzola.  It’s very creamy and sharp and is one of my favorite cheeses.  Throughout the year, I’ll be discovering and introducing new cheeses from around the world. 
Prosit Neujahr!
