Eating the way around German Christmas markets

From Reibekuchen and Bratwurst to Schmalzkuchen and Kӓsespӓtzle, Christmas markets across Germany are known to boast a glorious array of traditional German dishes and regional specialities. Apart from soaking up the festive atmosphere, a big part of the fun of visiting a Weihnachtsmarkt is sampling all of the tempting treats on offer, both sweet and savoury.
