Hessian cuisine is based on centuries-old recipes, and forms a major part of the Hesse identity. Reflecting Hesse's central location within Germany, Hessian cuisine fuses north German and south German cuisine,[1] with heavy influence from Bavarian cuisine and Rhenish Hesse. Sour tastes dominate the cuisine,[2] with wines and ciders, sauerkraut and handkäse with onions and vinegar popular.
