Bavarian (Bairisch)

Austro-Bavarian or Bavarian is a major group of Upper German varieties. Like standard German, Austro-Bavarian is a High German language, but they are not the same language. However, Austro-Bavarian and Standard German have influenced each other and the vast majority of Austro-Bavarian speakers speak Standard German as well.

Austro-Bavarian is also used to refer to the dialect group which includes the Austro-Bavarian dialect discussed here, as well as the Cimbrian, Hutterite German, and Mócheno dialects of German. (Ref: Wikipedia)

Bavarian on whatamieating.com

To find foods and food-related items in whatamieating.com in Bavarian you may search by any sensible combination of the following terms:
Austria Austrian Austro Bairisch Bairische Bavarese Bavaria Bavarian Bavaro Bavarois Bavaroise Bayerisch Bayerische Beiers Boarisch German Germany South Southern

These terms associated with languages are hidden behind the scenes as there is some crossover with German. This is not intended to be offensive and I apologise to anyone who feels affronted. In the same way I have included 'Indian' in the search terms for foods of Sri Lanka, 'English' in searches of the food glossary for Welsh or Scottish; likewise for other Indian, African or South American food terms, where any of hundreds of languages may be in use. It is simply to aid the traveller, often ignorant of the finer detail.

You may use any of the above terms in any search you make using 'Translate from English' so that if you wish to search for a translation of fly agaric, choose whichever of these language terms that you think is most appropriate, say:
'agaric bavaria' and then click on 'Translate from English'.

One of the problems of providing searches in a multilingual world-wide food dictionary is trying to help people reach the things they are searching for. People do not always know the precise language being used, so these more general searches, such as 'German', should help in a successful search.

Also included in the glossary are dishes from the cuisine of the region, cookery terms, cooking methods, drinks, food festivals, days of the week, months of the year etc.
