The Oktoberfest menu most people know abroad — bratwurst, sauerkraut, pretzel — is only part of the story.
At the Wiesn, Hendl (crisp roast chicken) is the staple. Then come Steckerlfisch, roast ox, Schweinshaxe, Knödel, Obatzda, Radi, Kaiserschmarrn and more.
A dish-by-dish guide to what Germans actually eat at Oktoberfest:

Oktoberfest starts today in Munich. 🍺
The table is more interesting than the usual stereotype: roast Hendl, fish grilled on sticks, ox, pork knuckle, Obatzda, pretzels — and yes, a wine tent.

Oktoberfest is often reduced to beer and bratwurst, but the Wiesn table is much more interesting: roast chicken, Steckerlfisch grilled over charcoal, crisp pork knuckle, Obatzda and oversized pretzels.
There’s also a useful beer surprise: today’s Oktoberfest pour is generally paler and lighter-bodied than the amber Märzen many people outside Germany associate with the festival.
Obatzda is a classic Bavarian cheese spread made with very ripe Camembert, butter, sweet paprika and finely chopped onion. Keep the texture rustic and let it rest so the flavours settle together.

Berlin has almost no old cuisine, and that's the point. 🌭 Currywurst was invented in 1949 by a Berlin snack-stand owner mixing ketchup and curry powder from British army rations. Döner as a portable sandwich was born here too, around 1972. Add Vietnamese pho on Kastanienallee, and you have a food scene barely 75 years old — honest, cheap, and eaten standing up on the pavement.

Frühstück, breakfast, the Berlin way 🇩🇪
Not a bowl of cereal. A spread:
🧀 Sliced cheese
🥓 Cold cuts + cured ham
🍳 Scrambled eggs
🥛 Quark
🍓 Jam + butter
🥖 Warm Brötchen
Savory and sweet on the same plate. Weekend Frühstück can stretch past an hour.
Germans take the first meal seriously. It shows.
Schnitzel 🍽️
Golden, crisp, impossibly tender — and as beloved in Germany as in Austria.
The secret is in the coating: don't press the crumbs on. A loose coat lets the crust puff and ripple away from the meat. Keep the fat hot and swirl the pan.
Serve it plate-sized over warm potato salad. Comfort food, elevated.
Schaschlik: the German charcoal feast 🔥
This is not a quick barbecue. You stand around the fire with a beer and bread, turning the meat every 10-15 min.
Dinner is ready in an hour — and the hour is part of the meal.
🔥 Schaschlik-Rolle
🥔 Two rival potato salads
🥬 Raw cabbage salad
🍺 Cold beer + bread
The cooking IS the gathering.

Swabian potato salad 🥔
The southern German classic, nothing like the creamy northern kind. No mayo, no eggs. Just waxy potatoes in a warm vinegar-and-broth dressing.
🔥 Dress while warm (the whole secret)
🥣 Warm broth gives it body
⏳ Rest it — it transforms as it sits
🌡️ Serve at room temp, never chilled
The side for grilled meat across southern Germany.
Schaschlik-Rolle 🔥
Not the street-market skewer — the large-format version. Pork wrapped around bacon and shredded cabbage, rolled into a log, cooked over charcoal embers for a full hour.
🥩 Pork collar for marbling
💪 Squeeze cabbage dry
🔥 Embers, NOT flames
🔄 Turn every 10-15 min
From the Caucasus → East German funfairs → a German classic.
Bread, potato salad, cold beer. Prost! 🍺
German raw cabbage salad (Weißkrautsalat) 🥬
Not coleslaw. No mayo, no cream, just finely shredded cabbage, vinegar, oil, and a little sugar. Lean, sharp, refreshing.
The trick: salt the cabbage first, then squeeze it dry. Crunch without the raw edge.
The lighter side at any German BBQ.
Northern German potato salad 🥔
The creamy, make-ahead kind — mayo, egg, gherkin, onion.
→ Boil waxy potatoes, cool completely
→ Whisk mayo, sour cream, mustard, vinegar, gherkin brine
→ Fold in potatoes, gherkins, onion
→ Chill overnight
The secret: make it the day before. Best beside grilled meat.

German white asparagus with omelette and potatoes. Germans love asparagus and you could buy it from April to the end of June at every corner, there are special markets for asparagus and strawberries. #cooking #germany #germanfood
From the Andreas Keller menu. My favorite. I usually take it home and reheat it, but today I'll eat it in my booth. Guaranteed to bring lots of shoppers in. (They always come when I'm snacking.) #GermanFood #SehrGut

Schnitzel
For our Christmas Eve dinner, just the three of us, we made seitan schnitzel with sides of roasted Brussels sprouts and potatoes. Unfortunately I ran out of time to make a gravy, so I fried up some onions.
I remembered from last time that we needed more egg replacer, so I made 6 equivalent for dredging. I think I could have halved the peppered flour. We also heat way less oil in the dutch oven, which does mean the sides don’t fully fry.
The nice thing about this seitan (beyond being deliciously deep fried) is that the earlier baking step makes it much more tender than our usually favorite style of seitan.
Kässpatzen or Käsespätzle are a hearty Alpine egg noodle dish made with freshly scraped Spätzle, melted mountain cheese and crispy onions. While Spätzle appear in many regions of southern Germany and Austria, this Allgäu version stands out for its strong local cheeses and creamy richness. Pure comfort food 🧀🧀
#Today, @evelynefoerster did another Rheinländiche Riemchenkuchen. 🤗🥰 I put the lattice on it which didn't turn out too great this time. 🥴🤣
