Oktoberfest will once again be held in Munich, Germany from September 20 thru October 5, 2008. For the excitement of eloquating the plethora of drinks and food available during the 16 days of the festival, learn German online.
Dishes and Food
The plentiful types of "wurst" (German sausages) are never far behind when you think of Oktoberfest. Beyond the usual frankfurter sausage, you will enjoy the bockwurst (chicken, turkey, lamb, pork with parsley, chives, white pepper, paprika, and salt), knackwurst (beef or pork with fresh garlic), and the bratwurst (veal, beef, and/or pork). To avoid making a fool of yourself, learn German to be able to speak the German monikers of these delicious sausages.
You'll also get the opportunity to try the many kinds of spatzle, or noodles, the ideal accompaniment to beer. Common ingredients for the spatzle are various spices, flour, milk, eggs, and salt. Sample the cheese noodles with fried onions, the kasespatzle. These are so scrumptious that learning German, if only to show your appreciation, is a must.
German delicacies such as Apfelpfannenkuchen (apple pancakes), sauerkraut (fermented cabbage), and hendl (roasted chicken) need to also be tasted. And before you assume you need to not learn German for these, think again when you get to the beers.
Beers and Wines
More than anything else, Oktoberfest is famous for the plethora of beers and wines served in its 14 tents. You'll be able to differentiate each one with a passable grasp of the language.
With high carbon dioxide levels, the sekt is made fizzier than most sparkling wines. Find the Deutscher Sekt if you know your wines well. Or, you can go for sekt formulated from Riesling, Pinot gris, and Pinot blanc grapes for that extremely special occassion.
German wheat beer can get you drunk. There are many kinds, like the traditional and unfiltered Hefeweizen, Kristallweizen (crystal wheat), Dunkelweizen (dark wheat), and Weizenstarkbier (strong wheat beer), to mention a few. You should learn German as quickly as you can, lest you confuse one with the other; the monikers hint at the alcohol strength - the darker the wheat component, the higher the alcohol levels, usually.
Most of all, get drunk on the marzen (pale lager), a specially-brewed Oktoberfestbier. There are numerous more kinds of wines and beers served on the Oktoberfest, with the Weinzelt tent serving as many as 15 wines!
Obviously, you do not have to study German to appreciate Oktoberfest. But if you want to make the most out of the experience, it is definitely a good start.
Of course, you need not study German to enjoy Oktoberfest, meet new people, dine on good cuisine, and drink bacchanalian pleasures. Still, it won't hurt to learn German free to make yourself heard over the noisy joy that the Oktoberfest is.
