Koblenz regional cuisine is very satisfying and simple. Experienced gourmets recommend trying popular dishes in small local restaurants, the main visitors of which are townspeople. Local cuisine is distinguished by the so-called country style. Most dishes are prepared from the most common products according to the simplest possible recipes. Liver dumplings, dozens of roast options, hearty potato dishes and pastries are the main components of local gastronomy.
In the vicinity of the city is the famous wine region Wachenheim, where vineyards have been cultivated for large wineries for hundreds of years. Wine connoisseurs are offered thematic tours, during which they can visit the main local attractions. Regional wines are also sold in many grocery stores in the city.
A very interesting local delicacy is a pork stomach, which has been cooked here for several centuries. Once people stuffed the stomach with all sorts of food leftovers: potatoes, unused pieces of meat and various vegetables. The stomach was boiled in a large pot for several hours; such a recipe made it possible to consume the remnants of everyday food wisely.
Now the original dish is cooked in a bit different way - it is baked for 4 hours, which allows the stuffing to remain as juicy as possible. This unusual dish is prepared even in the most upscale restaurants in Koblenz where one can try its more refined options. Forest mushrooms, chestnuts, various local cheeses and spices can serve as filling. Every restaurant certainly has its own signature recipe for cooking the dish.
