About Luxembourg recipes

Luxembourg's position on the border between the Latin and Germanic worlds is heavily influenced by the cuisines of neighbouring France and Germany. More recently, it has had influence from its many Italian and Portuguese immigrants. Most native dishes share roots in the Luxembourgian peasantry, similar to German cuisine and in marked contrast to more sophisticated French.

Luxembourg has many delicacies: pastries, Luxembourg Cheese, the fresh fish from local rivers (trout, pike, and crayfish), Ardennes ham smoked in saltpetre, game during hunting season (such as hare and wild boar), small plum tarts in September (quetsch), smoked neck of pork with broad beans (judd mat gaardebounen), fried small river fish (such as bream, chub, gudgeon, roach, and rudd), calves' liver dumplings (quenelles) with sauerkraut and boiled potatoes, black pudding (treipen) and sausages with mashed potatoes and horseradish, and Green beans soup (Bouneschlupp). French cuisine is featured prominently on many menus as are those of Germany and Belgium but not as much as French.
