DKs Eatery Menu
Here at DKs you will get to experience a variety of german foods, but before you dig in, we would like you to know a bit about the history of german food. A classic german meal consists of multiple courses, the first course is vorspeise (appetizer), then suppe (soup), then comes hauptspeise (main course), along with a few other dishes. Also remember that germans almost always eat with a fork. On average 72 pounds of meat are consumed by a single german each year!

German Table Manners
In Germany manners are very important. An unspoken rule of german ettiquite is to keep your hands above the table while eating! Any good german Hasfrau (host) would never neglect her guests. Germans are also particular about the way they hold their silverware. The knife is to be held in your left hand and the fork in your right.
