Section Three, Part C Weltenburg, Bavaria South of Regensburg, right outside the town of Weltenburg, the Danube river breaks through rocks that reach up 300 feet. Hundreds of years ago, a group of Benedictine monks arrived here. Stunned by the beauty of the area, they decided to take advantage of this breathtaking view and build a monastery on the shores of the Danube river. Every year, thousands of visitors enjoy the view along with the famous dark beer brewed by Germany's oldest monastic brewery. Die Bayerische Küche The food typically eaten in Bavaria resembles Irish and Scottish food. Commonly enjoyed vegetables include white giant radishes, sauerkraut, onions, lettuce, carrots, caraway seed, potatoes, mushrooms, cabbage, and beans. These are usuallyeaten in stews, pickled or raw. Fruits such as apples, pears, plums, berries, and cherries are eaten as snacks or as desserts in delicious pies, cakes, and casseroles. Wheat and barley are the most commonly eaten (and drunk) grain products in Bavaria. Much like their Austrian neighbors to the south and their Bohemian neighbors to the east, the people of Bavaria rely heavily on bread and dumplings as side dishes to be eaten with meat, mushrooms, soups, and steamed fruit. The most typical meat item eaten in Bavaria is pork. Pork is prepared in all varietes, cooked, baked, fried, jellied, marinated, breaded, and pickled. Das Projekt The final project for Unit 1 is due now. You are now ready to take the Section 3 quiz and then the Unit exam. Section 3D contains additional resources.
