Travel Photo – German Pork Knuckle

One of the fun part of traveling is the opportunity to taste the authentic local dishes from that destination. Eventhough we can still taste most of the popular national dishes from different countries at our home land, but the experience of having the same dish at its origin country is priceless.

One of the local dish from Germany I’m head over heel in love with is surely their pork knuckles! Schweinshaxe is the actual German word for pork knuckle that you may find in their menu. I love German pork knuckles so much so I had to try it in Berlin when I was there last year.

Some EXIF info: Photo taken with my Nikon D7000 and Tamron SP10-24mm Ultra Wide Angle lens. Shot in Program Auto mode, with Shutter speed 1/60 Sec and Aperture f4.2. Focus distance was set to 20mm. ISO 800. Auto White Balance. No flash fired and +1/3EV exposure being compensated. Matrix metering.

Schweinshaxe or Pork Knuckle is a German cuisine of roasted pork knuckle served with Sauerkraut or sour cabbage and special gravy, mustard and the one I tried had also mashed peas included as side dish.
