Best 1. Grüne Soße in Frankfurt
The absolute culinary icon of the city, this cold sauce is made from a strictly defined blend of seven fresh herbs: borage, chervil, chives, cress, parsley, salad burnet, and sorrel. It is vibrant, herbal, and creamy (usually made with a base of sour cream, oil, and hard-boiled egg yolks). It is traditionally served with halved hard-boiled eggs and boiled potatoes, or as a fresh, herbal complement to a hot breaded Schnitzel. The sauce is a symbol of spring, with the season traditionally starting on Maundy Thursday.
