Probably one of the most famous sausages associated with Franconian cuisine is the Nuremberg Bratwurst. But that is far from the end of the story. Franconian bratwurst cuisine is definitely more varied than one often assumes. Depending on the region, Nuremberg sausages are prepared in different sizes and with different spices. The absolute classic is the large Nuremberg bratwurst with marjoram. The delicious sausages are usually prepared on the grill or in a pan. They are either served in a classic bun with a little mustard or horseradish, or eaten with sauerkraut.

These are baked pork shoulders served with a crispy rind cut into a diamond shape. Of course, Franconian pork shank is also a must on the menu at Backöfele. The hearty speciality is served in a dark beer sauce and with potato dumplings and sauerkraut as a side dish - simply delicious. Equally popular is the classic roast pork with crust. Similar to neighboring Bavaria, it is served with either a dumpling, sauerkraut, blue cabbage or savoy cabbage.

Especially in combination with fish and meat dishes, a typical Franconian can be served well. Our trained staff at Backöfele will be happy to recommend a suitable wine to go with your chosen Franconian speciality. A well-tried grape variety is, for example, the Silvaner. A Silvaner is fruity and down to earth. Equally typical is the slightly mineral taste, which is considered a trademark of Franconian wines.

Other fish specialties
Aischgrund is located between Forchheim and Bad Windsheim. This is the home of the Aischgründer mirror carp. That is why it has always been part of Franconian cuisine and is served up in a variety of ways. If you order a carp "blue", you will receive a carp baked in a vinegar or beer brew and cut in two. Another well-tried specialty from Franconia is "Ingreisch". These are the baked out genitals of the carp. Our restaurant in Würzburg does not serve carp, but Franconian river pike perch. This is served under a delicious herbed potato crust with crayfish sauce and Vichy carrots.
