Food and drink of Luxembourg

Thuringer These tasty little sausages that resemble a spicy version of German Bratwurst are sold by street vendors and at roadside stands. They are inexpensive and delicious.

Luxembourg ham
A smoke-cured uncooked ham resembling Italian Proscuitto crudo. It is sliced paper-thin and frequently served with fresh bread as an appetizer or first course at meals.

Gromper keeschelche (potato pancakes)
The Luxembourg variety are delicately spiced with chopped onion and parsley before deep-frying. Those available at roadside stands are unfortunately a poor substitute for the home cooked ones.

Kach Keis (Luxembourg cooked cheese)
A soft cheese spread and tastes like none other.  A close comparison might be melted French Camembert cheese.

Pate
Every charcoutereie in Luxembourg sells several different "homemade" varieties of this meat spread.

Quetsche tort
This plum tart, along with the peach, cherry and pear tarts are typical Luxembourg desserts and can be found in almost every Patisserie (along with a large selection of French pastries).
