Wiener Schnitzel
|
Ah! The Wiener Schnitzel. A large flattened piece of veal delightfully coated in egg and seasoned breadcrumbs. Add in a portion of your favourite potatos (either chips or roasted) and you have one filling meal. They'll always add in some sort of salad or vegetables to round it out. Lemon wedges are also provided to squeeze over the veal.

Sauerkraut
|
Translated direct to \"sour cabbage\", but don't let that put you off as it is popular for a reason. Finely cut cabbage that has been fermented. Your meal may already come with Sauerkraut, but if it doesn't you can always order a side dish.

Chilli con Carne

The staple dish served in Mexican restaurants. They normally ask you how hot you want it! The usual minced beef with tomatoes, chillies and kidney beans and served with rice and a side salad. Plenty of bread is also served in a basket to mop up the final bits of sauce.

Quesadillas
|
These are similar to burritos but the filling is wrapped inside the tortilla, cheese is grated over (and sometimes a white sauce) and then baked in the oven.The fillings differ – minced chilli beef is the most popular but they can be filled with spinach, peppers and jalapenos, with grated cheese. Usually served in an oval dish, bubbling from the oven, with a side salad. Mexican version of garlic bread with jalapenos is a must if you like lots of spice!

Taco
|
There are food trucks doing great tacos around the country. The Fish tacos are delicious with lime sauce and pickles. Our recommendation is to seek out the food trucks, grab some tacos and chill out in the sunshine.

Burritos
|
Another version of chilli but wrapped in a soft tortilla roll and served with sour cream, more diced chillis and onions. The tortilla is normally soft grilled or steamed to make it softer so that you can wrap the filling inside and eat with your hands if you want! Salad on the side will certainly cool your mouth down!

Nachos
|
Everyone loves nacho chips, particularly when they are smothered in salsa, jalapenos and grated cheese and when the cheese melts under the grill – delicious! Can be served with a side order of guacamole and sour cream, its almost a meal in itself, but usually a sharing bowl on the table as a starter or with drinks.

Tequila
|
Tequila has become popular drunk as a shot, and followed down by an ice cold Mexican beer! Very strong spirit, served with wedges of lime and salt to eat off the back of your hand! Definitely a drink originating from Mexico and drunk in pubs and bars as well as restaurants. Can also be drank as a long drink such as a Tequila Slammer, which is made using a fizzy drink such as lemonade or ginger ale. Slammer Royale is a serious drink for the ‘professional’ – Tequila is mixed with champagne!

Berliner Weisse
|
Originating in Northern Germany and very popular in Berlin, Berliner Weisse is an unusual wheat beer that is both cloudy and sour in taste. It is often mixed with a paler beer or a lager to sweeten the beer up, but is also mixed with a fruit syrup, such as raspberry or a sweet green syrup, which not only sweetens the beer, but also turns it into extreme bright colours.
