Oktoberfest - where to munch in Munich

October 3rd, 2007

The rise of the cheap flight airlines has meant a rise in holiday ’snacking’ - bite-sized breaks in addition to ‘main’ summer holidays. And for many, this snacking takes the form of drinking - whether it be the opportunity to sip sherry in the Jerez region of Spain or sample champagne in the actual Champagne region of France. October however heralds one thing in the drinking world: Oktoberfest, the annual festival of beer which takes place in Munich every year.

Plenty of airlines provide inexpensive flights to Munich, so getting there is easy enough - but rather handily for those that want to enjoy something of an Oktoberfeast as well as an Oktoberfest (their word play, not mine), The Guardian has recently provided a Top Ten list of Munich eateries offering a variety of fayre to pad out the pints (or, should I say, soak up the steins).

My favourite has to be the currywürst - bite-sized slices of sausage smothered in a curry sauce. They may not exactly serve curry like this round Mumbai way, but as they say, when in Rome, do like the Romans…
