A true Hessian dish is the infamous Handkäs mit Musik. I had it once right after I moved here eons ago and the second time was just a couple of weeks ago at our favorite bar Zum Adler in Oberursel.
What is Handkäs mit Musik (literal translation: hand cheese with music)?
Traditional Hessian dish: Handkäs' mit Musik
It is a patty, or two, made of sour milk cheese, topped with lots of marinated onions and optional caraway seeds, sitting in a vinegar dressing and served with slices of dark bread.
In the picture I am sitting where the infamous Red Baron used to sit, accompanied by the airplane engineers of the local Motorenwerke Oberursel, to enjoy his Dämmerschoppen (sundowner).
Ebbelwoi price list "Zum Adler"
I had my usual beer. Even after 14 years of living in Hessen, I have not become a friend of Ebbelwoi.
