I was the OP of this https://warosu.org/ck/thread/21363362 and I wanted to share how it went. First of all, thanks for all the suggestions, it made it super easy for me. I tried most of the things recommended, never had any stomach problems (surprised me, really) and me and my friend were very happy with the food. It was generally on the blander side, not many spices, some sauces, but was tasty in a basic way. Here's a breakdown of some of the stuff:

Potatoes - everywhere, cooked in all manner of ways, personally liked the oven roasted ones the most, all of them were tasty though, Germans know their potatoes.

Schweinshaxe (pork knuckle) - looked impressive, but only some of the meat tasted nice, the rest was meh (could have been that particular kitchen). Still, I am happy I tried it. Not my favourite.

Currywurst - ok as a fast food I guess, nothing special

Sausages with sauerkraut (bratwurst was top) and beer - they were all good, anons that said quality control is high level weren't joking, all sausages were tasty, no bones or gristle, etc. There were 4 major types of sausages in the places we visited, but I forgot the names kek.

Sauerkraut - hit or miss, didn't like it in one place (very bland), liked it in another (had a sharper sour bite to it). I was looking forward to this the most, been hearing about it for years. My conclusion is that it really depends on your personal sour taste comfort level and what you are pairing it with. Can't really eat it on its own like poatoes, for example.

Green sauce - by far my favourite. It was FANTASTIC everywhere I tried it and I did try to order it as much as I could as a side. Worked with everything - meat, potatoes, eggs, bread, you name it. Amazingly refreshing, a blend of herbs, sour cream, yogurt, oil and whatever other stuff they got in there that enhances everything. I even ate it without nothing just for the flavour. Special thanks to the anon that suggested it. Can't recommend it enough.

1/2

2/2

Apfelstrudel - I don't like apples, but this was a terrific desert, had it twice! With whipped cream of course. Felt like the guy in Inglorious Basterds kek.

Frankfurter Kranz (Crown Cake) - didn't expect to like it from the pics, but it was fantastic - a bunch of flavours exploding in your mouth playing off of each other - mascarpone, raspberry, nuts, sweet, salty and sour. Very good desert. Expectations subverted.

Also, special thanks to the anon that suggested the ConditCouture cake shop. Everything I tried there was spectacular - which includes the kranz and the strudel.

Schnitzel - really liked it, the meat was flavorful and I liked that it wasn't super soft, it was a bit tough, maybe some people would find that unappealing, but it worked for me

Pretzels - nice snack, very salty and filling, make sure you have a drink kek. I got addicted to them, which sucks cuz I don't think they have them at home.

As a side note, I've never had the Five Guys burger chain stuff and I saw one of the in the center of the city. It was surprisingly good, much better than McDonald's slop. The cheese dog with bacon was really fucking tasty.

We tried other stuff as well, but these are the ones I wanted to drop a comment about.

If you are still in Frankfurt that means you have to go saufen in Sachsen Hausen today.
If I don't see an American trying Äppelwäu tonight I will tell /ck/ what a fucking pussy you are

I left yesterday kek, but I forgot to add I had the Apple Wine (Apfelwein?). Twice! Liked it both times. My friend didn't and said it tasted like diluted vinegar kek, but I loved it. Had it with the pork knuckle + beer.

Also, I enjoyed Sachsenhousen a lot, we went for a couple walks there, our hotel was on the other side of the river. We ate at a place called Zum Gemalten Haus.

>>21460955
Glad you enjoyed yourself anon. I wouldn't call Frankfurt a food city, but your selection seems good.
>I left yesterday kek, but I forgot to add I had the Apple Wine (Apfelwein?). Twice! Liked it both times. My friend didn't and said it tasted like diluted vinegar kek, but I loved it. Had it with the pork knuckle + beer.
There's usually an option to choose between sweet Apfelwein and sour Apfelwein. I like sour, but your friend would probably have preferred sweet.

Unrelated, did you try döner?

>Frankfurt

Make sure you don’t get drugged, mugged or worse OP

thanks bernd

>>21460983
It was lots of fun and definitely worth a visit. No regrets whatsoever.

I didn't known there was a sweat version of the apple wine as well, neat.

Only my friend tried the doner, some place around the center and really liked it, tons of meat and flavour, with some feta-like cheese (sheep probably?) and later had stomach issues and pain... now I don't claim those two are related, but it's one of the few things we didn't share.

Which reminds me I tried some sandwiches in addition to the strictly German/local food. I will single out two that were very, very good. One was a god tier pastrami sandwich in a place called Chinaski Studio and Bar, the other an authentic Italian panini in Paninoteca. I had the latter instead of the doner actually.

It's just a horrible cut. I had some where you could eqt everything and some were just fat and gristle.
>Frankfurter Kranz
It's butter cream and not mascarpone.

>>21461307
>It's just a horrible cut

Very likely. Sadly I had only so much time and so many things to try, so I couldn't go for a second try.

>>21461307
>It's butter cream and not mascarpone.

Neat. It was delicious.

You certainly have to be a foreigner to be able to find anything good about Frankfurt.

>>21460928 (OP)
did you encounter the hoarde of rapefugees at the frankfurt train station? last time i was there, there were 30-50 violent niggers overdosing on drugs who didn't speak a lick of english or krautistani. this was 2yrs ago. i wonder if they cleaned the area up at all.

>>21460928 (OP)
You didn’t get any Black Forest cake? :(

Does German food still cost like 40% more than it does everywhere else because of the value added tax?

>>21460928 (OP)
For me it’s the Fleischplatte

>>21461889
Yup. Still the same. The train station and the area around is a shithole full of arabs and africans in rags with shifty eyes and twitching limbs. They move around, there are no squatters though. Several tried to talk to me, but I told them to fuck off with death in my eyes, they disappeared immediately.

The shops and restaurants around the area are all kebab, afghani, iraqi, eritrean, ethiopian, etc. Sad really.

>>21461920
Sadly no. Had to choose between it and the crown cake with the latter seeming the traditional local choice. It's on my list for the future though.

>>21461925
It's pretty expensive, but it also depends what you get. A sandwich can be anywhere from 8 euro for standard stuff to 25 euro for more artisan ones. A snall bottle of coke is 3-4 euro depending on location. A main in a decent restaurant is netween 15 and 30 euro (sausages with potatoes let's say or the pork knuckle).

>>21461465
Well, if you are there for a couple of days and not living permanently, you can stick to the beautiful locations and nice experiences. I mean, you can't find a flaw in eating a delicious meal and then talking a stroll alongside the river.

>>21462518
typos thanks to phone and fat fingers, but fuck it

>>21461952
Ah the meat plate. I didn't order it cuz I wanted to try everything on its own. One type of sausage this meal, another one later on, etc.

>>21462520
There's many cities like that to be fair.
I visit Berlin once a year for a congress and I love that city to visit for a few days, but goddamn am I happy that I don't live there.

>>21461925
Show me a county in Europe where tax is not included.

>>21462704
Very true

you seem to have squeezed the best out of the shithole that is frankfurt op, good job

>>21462520
>and then talking a stroll alongside the river.
Where all the sandniggers are drugging out and there's goose shit everywhere?

>>21463414
I found the migrants to be sleeping around the parks on the northern side of the river, there were none on the southern side (sachsenhousen). Geese are cute af, so that didn't bother me.

>Frankfurt
Grim. Leave and go visit Germany proper

>>21463502

If you're still there next weekend I can show you fucking good real Frankfurt food not that tourist shit. Also let's get drunk there

>>21465562

I am German. I am ashamed whenever foreigners tell me about their experiences at Frankfurt main railway station

>>21465727
Americans just feel like home there.

>>21465738
lmao

>>21465727
They have the best bakeries there. Also don't be a pussy.

>>21460928 (OP)
Man what a coincidence. I was on a business trip to Frankfurt last friday and also had green sauce for the first time at "Daheim im Lorsbacher Thal" served with veal schnitzel. It really IS fantastic.

>>21467899
Nice. I love those little items you can get only at a certain place. Bring the charm to traveling.

>>21464103
Frankfurt deserves the same fate as Berlin, Hamburg and Bremen. Complete nuclear holocuast.
