    Brotzeit literally translated means “Bread time”. This traditional savory snack is native to Bavarian and Austrian cuisine and is also knows as “Jause”.

    The tradition of the “Brotzeit” has developed from the everyday life of farmers in Bavaria. Between the morning barn work and working on the field, it was served as a second hearty breakfast. It included bread, sausages, cheese and a glass of milk.

    Today a “Brotzeit” is usually enjoyed as dinner or lunch and is a very popular dish in German beer gardens.
