I hate bratwurst/sausages, lard/fat, bacon, mayonnaise, heavy creams, heavy vinegar/pickled things - stables in German dishes.
FTW, while it is too late to correct my typo in my initial post, I want to clarify that I meant "staples in German dishes." I did not mean to insinuate that there were actually any horses in German dishes.
Oh yeh, I forgot about the hot/warm potato salad grand & ma made.
I didn't like it.
It was made with oil & apple cider vinegar, grated onion and the skins were left on.

Haha, yeah, I remember being completely unhappy because there were no eggs and mayonnaise in my potato salad at my other gram's house.
The creamy cucumber salad in your link is a family tradition in my husbands family, while the vinegar based cucumber salad that someone else posted is a staple in my family.
I looked at that cuc salad. Not familiar to me.
What I thought was german cucumber salad because it came from grand & ma, I still make & love is with red wine vinegar, oil & mayo, salt & black pepper. No onions or sugar.
And better the next day, & with a hunk of bread dipped in the dressing. Yum!

The creamy salad is a northern/eastern German dish, the one with the vinegar and sugar is a Bavarian thing.
Yours sounds good, too!
Ok. Thanks, ks. I knew is wasn't the italian (dad's side). But mom's is german & english. Don't like the english, but know little of the german. (food that is, folks-no politicing here, by me)
