Not that the roasted nuts are the only mouthwatering scent wafting through the markets. Visitors have enjoyed the finest in German food for 25 years, including Bratwurst, potato pancakes, goulash soup, stollen, strudel and pretzels. As we strove to offer more flavors and experiences at the market over the years, we also came to include some modern-day fan favorites such as Chiya Chai’s savory Himalayan dishes (their Masala or Ginger Cardamom Chai & Masala Chicken Pie are out of this world) and EVERYONE’s favorite Raclette Sandwiches from our vendor Baked Cheese Haus. Fun Fact: Raclette is actually a Swiss dish, popular in France and Italy, that is often served in Germany as a New Year’s Eve tradition, and ours is made to perfection here in the US!  Talk about an international dish! Another notable addition to the market is the DönerMen’s Döner Kebab (similar to a Greek Gyro).  The Döner sandwiches are among the most common street foods served in Germany but they aren’t in fact German at all! Döner is a Turkish dish that has been engrained into German cuisine because of the large prevalence of Turks living in Germany (Turks actually make up the largest ethnic group of non-German origin in Germany). We are certainly glad it did – because it is outstanding! At the market, you can get these yummy titbits with the traditional Döner meat, Chicken or vegan sausage, and you can get it in sandwich form or as a salad… or just do what we like to do and try all the Doener variations!
