Ingredient appreciation — what makes Kartoffelsalat special

What sets Kartoffelsalat apart is the handling of dark rye bread. In lesser versions this is treated as a background note. Here it's central and the tangy from fermentation result shows it. I've started buying it to cook with at home after this experience.

regional specialities vary dramatically between Bavaria, Saxony, and the Rhineland. The a winter Christmas market atmosphere was right for this kind of food. I had weissbier as recommended and it matched well. If you want to understand what makes this cuisine distinctive, Kartoffelsalat is the place to start.
