[HIGHLIGHTS] “Declined menus” in Bavaria: List of expressions that only a few guests know

“Oarschmoiz” is a Bavarian expression for scrambled eggs. The term is still listed on some menus in the Free State.

“There is simply no need for linguistic imports,” says a leaflet for innkeepers in Bavaria. They should be encouraged to use traditional terms, says the support association for the Bavarian Language and Dialects Association. For our editorial team, support association member Helmuth Hopper has put together a list of other terms that can still be found on menus. You can find a selection below in the article, including a translation into High German. For more information, visit the German Dialect Association’s website or go to: http://www.dialect-association.org/bavaria/Bavarian-Language-and-dialects-Association-Bavaria-“Kragnwürger”, “KIACHL” and “VORVOR”.
