Food of Luxembourg
Luxembourg's kitchen blends French finesse with German heartiness, using pork, potatoes, broad beans, river fish and local cream and cheese. Home cooking favors smoked pork, dumplings and green bean soup, while pastry shops sell plum tarts and fine chocolates. Meals are shared and generous, and markets are the heart of the seasons.
