3. One Beer or Two?
Non-verbal communication signals may differ from country to country, so here’s a gestural guide to ordering beer in Germany. If you just want one beer, give the thumbs up sign. If you raise your index finger (which means one in many other countries), that actually means you want two beers here. Watch it or you may be downing double rounds, which might not be a bad thing considering the excellent beer in Germany.
4. Daily Bread
Who knew Germany produces more different types of bread than any other country? There are over 300 kinds of bread here, from dark to white, wheat to rye, kaiser rolls to salted pretzels. So integral is bread to the German diet, there is even a dedicated Museum of Bread Culture in Ulm that traces the fascinating 6000 year history of this doughy goodness.
