| Fränkische Bratwurst | Snack | Fränkische Bratwurst is composed of beef, pork or veal and is traditionally served with sauerkraut or potato salad or simply in a breadroll. They vary greatly in size and seasoning from region to region but are often considerably thinner than the equivalents elsewhere in Germany. The best-known sausages are from Nuremberg (Nürnberg) and are recognisable by their small size and clearly visible herb seasoning. They are traditionally served as three sausages in a roll ("Drei in 'a Weckla") or six sausages on sauerkraut ("Sechs auf Kraut"). | |
| Saure Zipfel | Snack | Bratwurst and sliced onion cooked in vinegar and usually eaten with Bavarian pretzels. | |
| Kartoffelklöße | Main course | Large dumplings made from a dough consisting of raw or a combination of raw and cooked potatoes. The exact recipe is a matter of regional differences and personal belief. The best friend of pot-roasted meats or mushroom ragout. | |
| Schäufele | Main course | An entire pork (or, in some cases, Lamb) shoulder roasted in a fairly cool oven over long period so that the meat is extremely tender with a crunchy crust.

Accompanied by a side salad, dumplings and red cabbage or less commonly Sauerkraut. | |
