Translating the German menu

Go to any barbecue in the American Midwest, and alongside the hot dogs, hamburgers and steaks you will find "brats" on the grill. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, German immigrants introduced their hearty German cuisine to the Americas – including:

x

sausages (both fried and steeped), cold cuts and spreads such as liverwurst

x

meat dishes such as pork roast, pork knuckle, suckling pig, marinated beef, veal and venison

x

often accompanied by condiments like mustard and horseradish

x

cold side dishes such as potato salad and coleslaw

x

hot side dishes like sauerkraut, potato dumplings and red cabbage

x

and baked goods, from rye bread and rolls to soft pretzels

Especially at this time of year, you'll find German food celebrated at Oktoberfest from Blumenau in Brazil, with over a million visitors, to "Zinzinnati" (Cincinnati) in Ohio, where the "Gemuetlichkeit Games" include beer barrel-rolling contests, beer stein races and a dachshund derby. They're still doing the Chicken Dance in Old World Village in

Huntington Beach, California:

Oktoberfeste are held all over the world as an excuse to have a big beer party. Small wonder, then, that foreigners stream to Germany, and specifically Bavaria, in search of

"the real thing". "Excuse me," they might say to you, looking at the menu at the Oktoberfest in Munich, "I know that a 'Maß' is a litre of beer on tap, but what's a

'Brathendl'?" Let's go through the Oktoberfest menu together so you can translate and explain some standard German dishes.

Johannes and Lydia are taking their Australian friends Adrian and Claire to the Oktoberfest in Munich.

Exercise 1

Complete their conversation as they study the menu. Underline the correct word.

1. Adrian: "So, Johannes, what do you recommend? I'm starving!"

Johannes: "Well, let's see... There must be a Mittagsmenü — a dinner platter/ midday menu/ lunch special — listed here somewhere."

2. Lydia: "Here it is: 'Putenschnitzel gefüllt mit Schinken und Käse' — that's smoked pork chops/ turkey cutlet/ duck roast stuffed with ham and cheese."

3. Adrian: "Does that come with an added dish/ a by dish/ side dish?"

4. Johannes: "Yes, you get a 'Kartoffel-Gurkensalat' — that's potato salad with bits of gherkin/ cucumber/ pickle in it."

5. Adrian: "Hm... the salad sounds good, but I'd prefer something regional. What's 'Spanferkel'"?

Johannes: "That's pork roast/ knuckle of pork/ suckling pig."

6. Adrian: "Right. And what are 'Kartoffelknödel'?

Johannes: "Those are mashed potatoes/ potato dumplings/ fried potatoes."

7. Johannes: "They also come with 'Krautsalat'. That's coleslaw/ red cabbage/ carrots."

8. Adrian: "Sounds great. What about you, Claire? You're not saying anything."

Claire: "Oh, I just want something small. What are 'Würstl'? There are quite a lot of those listed here."

Lydia: "Those are cold cuts/ sausages/ spreads."

9. Claire: "Are 'Weißwürste' the white ones that are baked/ fried/ steeped in boiling water?"

10. Lydia: "Exactly. They're made from raw veal, and you can only get them until the early afternoon. But we're in time."

Claire: "They come with sweet gravy/ sauce/ mustard, don't they? Yummy! Then that's what I'm having. How about you, Lydia?"

11. Lydia: "I think I'll have 'Sauerbraten' — the marinated roast/ roast beef/ roast pork.

The red cabbage that goes with it is simply delicious. What about you, Johannes?"

12. Johannes: "It's 'Brathendl mit Pommes' for me. That's roasted chicken and chips/

roasted duck and fried potatoes/ pork roast and potatoes."

Lydia: "You don't want vegetables or a salad?"

Johannes: "Oh, come on! Potatoes are vegetables, aren't they?"
