Episode 5

Sitting between Germany and France, Alsace is frontier land with a cuisine to match, showcasing very German sausages and very French frogs' legs.

Sitting between Germany and France, Alsace is frontier land with a cuisine to match. In Strasbourg, Eva stops off at Brasserie Le Tigre for a beer (brassier means 鈥榯o brew鈥�) and a deliciously creamy tarte flambee. Then there's a trip to guide Coralie Andt鈥檚 restaurant, known as a winstub, where French wines can be enjoyed with plenty of cheese and sausage 鈥� as well as more sausage with sauerkraut cooked in white Riesling wine.

With French tarts in a brasserie that serves German-style beer, and German sausage in a winstub serving French white wine, Alsace is defined by its competing national influences.
