Bacon and herb dumplings in a rich broth of mushrooms and cream is Bavarian comfort food at its finest |
As jolly and hearty as Bavaria itself, dumplings, or Knödel, have been a cornerstone of this region’s cuisine since records began. Local legends even talk of dumplings being thrown at an enemy to end a 13th-century siege of the town of Deggendorf. With dumplings on the menu of most of its inns and beer halls, Bavaria’s largest city, Munich, is the perfect place to sample them.
