The German people have been known to take their cuisine very seriously. Even their common salutation, Mahlzeit! (which literally translates to "mealtime") alludes to their devotion to good food done right at all times of the day. The mighty German work ethic in combination with an attention to personal care manifests itself in delicious and perfectly executed meals enjoyed by all. While each region has its own specialties and variations, one thing holds the country's cuisine together: a commitment to technique.
