German cuisine is famous for many of the ingredients used to prepare various dishes. They range from the most classic to the more modernized versions, which mix ideas and ingredients from other countries. The cuisine of this European country has very varied bases, some of which prevail more than others. For example, pork is one of the most commonly used meats; and veal is also one of the most consumed. Vegetables and greens are also part of the German diet. They often appear in salads or as side dishes for main courses, such as sauerkraut, fermented sour cabbage.
