No need to search, they are featured throughout the German Fest grounds. As a result of this Fest Food Fact - “naschen” tends to become an art. A tasty treat to try - Onion Kuchen, meaning “little cake.” It is similar to quiche und yes - German men do eat Onion Kuchen und a few other delights. Don’t leave German Fest without trying a “Currywurst!” This “long” bratwurst or pork sausage is curled & served on a stick with a decadent curry sauce, aka, “Saucisschen.” Try it! You’ll love it.
