Eintopf
A steaming bowl of eintopf will warm you up on a cold day. The name of this traditional German stew literally means ‘one pot’ and refers to the way of cooking rather than a specific recipe. However, most recipes contain the same basic ingredients: a broth, some vegetables, potatoes or pulses and then some meat (commonly pork, beef or chicken) or sometimes fish. There are regional specialities, for example, lumpen und fleeh (which means ‘rags and fleas’) in the Kassel area, which is similar to Irish stew.
