Besides the traditional fondue and other typical dishes of Swiss cuisine, Braunschweig offers a range of gastronomic delights and delicacies to its guests. This city has become internationally famous because of a special sausage type that is currently widely recognized as Braunschweiger. The recipe of this uncooked smoked sausage appeared yet at the beginning of the 18th century. The author of the original recipe is not known. At that time, local people had a simple task to solve – they wanted to make a meat product that would stay fresh for a long time. This is how Braunschweiger appeared. Here it is important to mention that high-quality beef is the main ingredient of this sausage.
Besides the finest sausages and artisanal cheese, regional cuisine restaurants offer absolutely amazing first-course dishes. Some local soups are very unusual, and Mehlsuppe is definitely one of them. This soup usually contains flour. Depending on the flour type used, the soup can have different taste and look. For example, Mehlsuppe with rye flour looks quite dark. Sometimes, this soup can be cooked with cornmeal. In the past, this unusual soup was an everyday food for poor families. Nowadays, even upscale restaurants in Braunschweig have Mehlsuppe in their menus.
