Meat
There is a fine tradition of locally butchered meat in this country, particularly beef and pork, and excellent sausages and charcuterie (delicatessen meat). A good brand to start with is Meyer, available at its butcher’s shop in Bascharage and in supermarkets.
Beer
Luxembourg’s first breweries got started in the 1300s. Today, it produces several mainstay and craft brews. Lagers are popular. Ask any native Luxembourger for a recommendation.
Wine & crémant
It’s not just local pride: even the French give top notes to Luxembourg vintages. The best way to get started is with tours of local wineries.
Dairy
You can buy locally produced milk, butter, yogurt and cheese. Try the local fave Kachkéis, a runny cheese (cancoillotte in French). Take a tour of the country’s biggest dairy, Luxlait.
Potatoes
Luxembourg produces between 12,000 and 20,000 tonnes of potatoes each year, depending on the harvest. Many of those spuds are used for one of the country’s favourite dishes, Gromperekichelcher (potato pancakes or potato fritters).
