In his monthly newsletter that he publishes on LinkedIn, former Bayern Munich star Thomas Müller admitted that there is one Bavarian delicacy you just can’t get in Canada, that he has been craving ever
since he moved to the Vancouver Whitecaps.
“I spent the winter break in Munich,” said Müller (via Tz). “Seeing family and friends, back in familiar surroundings. The first thing I treated myself to? A Leberkässemmel. Of course.”
A what-now?
Per Wikipedia, a Leberkäse is a specialty food found in the south of Germany, as well as Austria and parts of Switzerland. It is made by using beef, pork, and bacon, finely ground and then baked in a bread pan until the resulting loaf has a crunchy brown crust.
Leberkäse (or Leberkäs, if you prefer) is served hot on a hard wheat flour bread called a Semmel. Hence, Leberkässemmel.
It is a really tasty dish, regularly served at the food stalls at the Allianz Arena in Munich. As someone who has tried it, I understand why Thomas Müller misses it so much. Come on, Bavaria! Export these abroad! Share your culture with the rest of us.
