Pomeranian cuisine

Pomeranian cuisine generally refers to dishes typical of the area that once formed the historic Province of Pomerania in northeast Germany and which included Stettin (now Szczecin) and Further Pomerania.

Several foodstuffs have a particularly important role to play here in the region: potatoes, known as Tüften, prepared in various ways and whose significance is evinced by the existence of a West Pomeranian Potato Museum (Vorpommersches Kartoffelmuseum), Grünkohl and sweet and sour dishes produced, for example, by baking fruit.

Fruit, vegetables, lard and Gänseflomen were preserved by bottling in jars.

Ranked at 15 points were chef René Bobzin, of the Zur alten Post in Bansin on Usedom, and Tom Wickboldt leading the restaurant of the same name in neighbouring Heringsdorf.
