Even though they are my neighbours, and I have been there 2 times on businesss trips, I do not remember the specialities.
(In many restaurants all over central Europe the menus have "leveled out" in a way).

I remember lot's of side dishes, as potatoes, different vegetables and so on.

As far as I know in some areas they "deep fry" a lot. And sea food is also part of the traditional menu.

Well, that holds true for several other countries in middle and Northern Europe, too. Including Germany.

Wait until Halcyon Dayz shows up. I am sure he has all the information.
