And no wonder: the excellent location to the Baltic coast and the countless inland waters puts fish dishes on every menu in Mecklenburg. But the cuisine of Mecklenburg has more to offer than just fish. Meat and game dishes, as well as regional agricultural products, are also specialties that are happily served for dinner at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tui-blue.com\/hotels\/tui-blue-fleesensee.html\">TUI BLUE Fleesensee<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Basically, hearty meals such as fish, meat, or game are combined with sweet side dishes or ingredients in Mecklenburg. I&#8217;ve tested the Mecklenburg cuisine, and I&#8217;ll tell you my absolute favourite dishes.

Freshly caught herring, cod, eels, pike-perch, or salmon make their way directly to the beautifully arranged plates in the restaurant. If, like me, you like to spend your holidays on the Fleesensee, you definitely shouldn&#8217;t miss out on the delicacies of the fish dishes. Smoked fish tastes particularly good: smoked mackerel or trout&#8230; awesome! As an appetiser, I recommend the Stralsunder fish pot &#8211; a classic offering of Mecklenburg cuisine.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_24469\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-24469\" style=\"width: 1001px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-24469\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/hering-und-Kartoffeln1.jpg\" alt=\"Herring potatoes green beans\" width=\"1001\" height=\"1001\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/hering-und-Kartoffeln1.jpg 1001w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/hering-und-Kartoffeln1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/hering-und-Kartoffeln1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/hering-und-Kartoffeln1-570x570.jpg 570w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/hering-und-Kartoffeln1-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/hering-und-Kartoffeln1-1000x1000.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/hering-und-Kartoffeln1-700x700.jpg 700w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/hering-und-Kartoffeln1-240x240.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1001px) 100vw, 1001px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-24469\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Anyone imagining the cuisine of Mecklenburg thinks of fish.

Because of the game-rich coastal forests, guests can enjoy tasty game dishes at the TUI BLUE Fleesensee. Meat dishes such as Gestowte Wruken (a pork belly with turnips) or Schweriner Gr\u00fctzwurst are part of the local diet. After an active day full of wonderful experiences, the delectable delicacies of Mecklenburg cuisine naturally taste twice as good.

Give it a try!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mecklenburg-Style Rib Roast<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You know that feeling too? You look at the menu and don&#8217;t know what to order because everything looks delicious? My tip: the plum roast. Classically, this was a thick pork roast roll filled with baked fruit.<\/p>\n<p>I got the savoury <strong>recipe<\/strong> so you can cook it and try it yourself.<br \/>\nFor 2 servings:<br \/>\n500 g pork (boneless)<br \/>\n100 g plums<br \/>\n100 g sausage meat<br \/>\nIodised salt<br \/>\nWhite pepper<br \/>\n250 g soup vegetables (carrots, celery, parsley, etc.)<br \/>\n1 tbsp lard<br \/>\n500 ml vegetable stock<br \/>\n400 g Brussels sprouts<br \/>\n1 tbsp butter or margarine<\/p>\n<p>First, chop the plums, mix them, with the sausage meat and season. Cut a pocket in the pork and stuff with the plum-sausage mixture. Chop the soup vegetables. Heat the lard in a roasting pan and fry the meat. Add the soup vegetables and saut\u00e9. Bake the whole thing in the oven at 200\u00b0 C for 45 minutes. Clean the Brussels sprouts and cut off the stalk. Simmer in salt water for about 20 minutes and then drain. My insider tip: pour a hot plum sauce over it before serving for a very special touch.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_24459\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-24459\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-24461 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Pflaumen1.jpg\" alt=\"plums\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Pflaumen1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Pflaumen1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Pflaumen1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Pflaumen1-570x570.jpg 570w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Pflaumen1-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Pflaumen1-700x700.jpg 700w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Pflaumen1-240x240.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-24459\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">What makes the rib roast special in Mecklenburg are the plums ?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tuften_the_Gold_of_the_Earth_in_Mecklenburg\"><\/span>T\u00fcften, the Gold of the Earth in Mecklenburg<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The farmers here describe their potatoes as &#8220;T\u00fcfte&#8221;.

No? Then you have to try this dessert. It&#8217;s a fruit soup with &#8220;Kl\u00fcten&#8221;, or small dough balls made from flour. Classically, sour cherries are used for the soup.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a simple <strong>recipe<\/strong> for making it yourself:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kl\u00fctensuppe<br \/>\n<\/strong>For 2 servings, you need:<\/p>\n<p>For the Kl\u00fcten:<br \/>\n150 g flour<br \/>\n1 egg<br \/>\n50 g sugar<br \/>\n70 ml milk<br \/>\nSalt<\/p>\n<p>For the soup:<br \/>\n1 jar of sour cherries<br \/>\n1 packet vanilla sugar<\/p>\n<p>Mix the ingredients for the Kl\u00fcten into a dough and let it set for 10 minutes. Knead again and leave the dough to set again for 10 minutes. While the dough is setting, bring the sour cherries to a boil in a large saucepan and add the vanilla sugar while stirring. Once the dough is ready, form small bite-sized dumplings and add them one at a time to the soup.<br \/>\nOf course, you can also eat the soup super cold during the summer.<br \/>\nGood luck and bon app\u00e9tit!<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;d also like to be pampered in a delicious restaurant with seasonal delicacies from the cuisine of Mecklenburg, then the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tui-blue.com\/hotels\/tui-blue-fleesensee\/kulinarik.html\">culinary offer<\/a> at the TUI BlUE Fleesensee is for you.
