Hanover Dishes

Calenberger Pfannenschlag
This tongue-twisting meal, Calenberger Pfannenschlag, is a beef sausage that also owes its beginnings to the Hanover royal family. It was named after the ancient site of the Hanover dukes.
Mock Turtle Soup
As its name suggests, this soup doesn’t actually contain any turtle meat. But mock turtle soup (German: Schildkrötensuppe) is prepared in a similar way but with different meat selections. It may contain calf’s head, beef, meatballs or veal.
Spargel (Asparagus)
Undoubtedly Hanover’s favorite vegetable, asparagus, is ubiquitous in this city. Hanover is known for its production of some of the best asparagus in the country. You’re more than likely to find several asparagus dishes in the restaurants, especially in the spring time.
