"Drei im Weggla" – "three sausages in a roll", that's the local name for three Nuremberg roast sausages in a roll. Nuremberg roast sausages are renowned far beyond the boundaries of Franconia. And now the name "Nuremberg Roast Sausage" is even protected and restricted to the City of Nuremberg by an EU regulation!
Nuremberg Lebkuchen (spicy gingerbread) is eaten during the advent and Christmas season every year, and sent in parcels all over the world. The former Free City of the Empire, Nuremberg owed the renown and tradition of its Lebkuchen to its fortunate location at the intersection of many trading and spice routes.
