This delightful modern German city with its dark past as the center of Hitler's Nazi rallies has a lot going for it, including food treats. Lebkuchen is basically gingerbread in every possible manifestation. It dates from the Middle Ages when Nürnberg was a trade center and had access to ginger from Asia and created the basic recipe, which is now available throughout the world. It's also the home of Nürnberger wurstl, tiny sausages with some of those once rare spices and herbs. They're delicious and locals eat them all day long. While walking down the street the scent of grilled sausages greets you everywhere, along with flowers, cheese and ginger. What a sensory pleasure!
