I am German and it's quite funny to read here, as many Germans don't want to travel the UK as they think the food is so bad.
To Brian: yes some disgusting foodstuff does exist, but I wouldn't complain about jelly stuff with pigs brain, if I lived in a country, where black pudding and haggis are specialitys (both of which I like)
We NEVER go to restaurants cos they are rather expensive.
A few hints:
Sauerkraut is better than you may think
You can find Schnitzel in a big variety, several Restaurants sell only Schnitzel-dishes
Our breakfast usually consists of bread/bread rolls with jam/honey/cheese/sliced meats (huge assortments)
I have never seen a restaurant with communal tables unless for familys, parties of course.
If you want to know what we eat, have look around Aldi and Lidl, that'll give you a rough idea.
Don't be afraid, there are no kids inside kids meals, no hunters in Jägerschnitzel!
Where about will you be going? We've introduced several British friends to German cuisine and find that Bratkartoffeln are the favourite!
