Quick Eats: Bavarian style - Vendors
Having just landed in downtown Munich, your nose may go into overload, and there may be some uncontrollable salivating happening. While walking around the Altstadt (old town), often the first whiffs you'll get will be a blend of roasted meat, grilled sausages, out-of-the oven pretzels, sweet mustard and sauerkraut. If there's a festival on, the smells are even more intense and become completely inescapable.

Besides beer, there are some Bavarian staples worth giving a go. For starters, there's weisswurst, white sausages stuffed with finely minced veal and herbs and typically eaten before noon. There's all sorts of other sausage dishes like short or foot-long bratwurst, currywurst (which is covered with curry powder) and wurstsalad (sliced sausages with cucumbers, onions and vinegar). Warm leberkäse (a meatloaf-shaped combination of ground meats that neither contain liver or cheese like the name implies) on a roll is another thing you'll find readily available, usually for less than 2€ or 3€.

There are more places than not serving up local fare, so let your nose lead the way. The kiosks and vendors around Viktualienmarkt are a good starting point.

If you're body is craving less artery-clogging grub, there are plenty of fruit and vegetable kiosks lining both Viktualienmarkt and Neuhauserstrasse, which connects Karlsplatz and Marienplatz.
