Delicious Food and Drinks

Baden-Württemberg is known for its good food.
And some dishes are very typical.
For example:

Maul·taschen: These are filled noodles with meat or vegetables inside. Every region and every family has its own recipe.

Spätzle: This is a side dish made of dough. The dough is scraped from a board into hot water. This is why the spaetzle are long and all different.
