Probably the most renowned Bremen speciality is "Kohl und Pinkel" – a generous dish of kale (known locally as "Grünkohl", which means green cabbage), accompanied by Kasseler (smoked pork), Bauchspeck (belly pork) and Pinkel (sausage). Although the word "Pinkel" sometimes has other connotations, here it simply refers to a traditional sausage made with meat, groats and spices. For Bremen locals, it's an indispensable part of a meal with kale. "Kohl und Pinkel" usually appear on menus in the cold winter months, after the first frosts. Many people in and around Bremen use this as an opportunity to enjoy an extended Kohlfahrt before the meal. Traditionally, locals fill hand carts with kale and pull them through the fields and byways around Bremen. Fortified against the cold by shots of schnapps, they gather together to chat, play games, and look forward to a hearty portion of "Kohl und Pinkel" at the end of the day.
