Germany: what's for lunch?
What's the most common lunching option in big cities (Munich, Dresden, Nuremberg for example) in Germany?
Before you write that off as a dumb question, let me explain. I've traveled to quite a few European countries and over the years seen meal habits change drastically. For example, my first trip to the UK, lunch was in the pub, cafe or teashop, my last trip it seemed many of those were out of business in the big cities and lots of people grab a sandwich or quick meal from a grocer or M&S. We found grabbing a quick lunch most days allowed us to maximize our activity time.
I haven't been in Germany in nearly 20 years, so my knowledge of the local food customs is sadly out of date. Do we look for a sit-down place, or grab a quick bit for lunch? Is there a decent casual chain people could suggest? We do specialty dinners, hotel breakfasts and would like an efficient lunch.
