In spring there is asparagus, which is often eaten with sausages. You can enjoy carp from September to April.

Sharp weeks, in October restaurateurs regularly offer their own menu with at least three horseradish (horseradish) main courses (Info).

  • Franconian sausages

  • Asparagus with butter as an accompaniment to sausages

At 12-16 cm, the "Franconian sausages" are significantly larger and also thicker than the Nuremberg sausages, which are only allowed to be produced in the city of Nuremberg. The coarsely twisted pork sausage meat tastes more like Mayoran, although every butcher has his own recipe. Usually you get three pieces on the plate.
