I’m visiting Germany, Italy and France over the next few weeks. I won’t have access to a kitchen most of the time, but I am going to want snacks. It has taken me a lot of time to find my favorite snacks in my home country, and I won’t have that much time in each country to try all of your delicious and less delicious offerings.
So:
- What’s your favorite snacks, fit for a movie night, a long train ride, a low effort lunch or a hike?
- What’s the name of the store that usually sell these snacks?
- Any other advice you have for a vegan visitor to your country?

Lidl in Germany has thin salami sticks called “Vemondo Vegane Tyrolini”. It’s not much, just 80 grams or so, but they are great as a little snack.
Every supermarket in Germany has " Salzstangen" from different brands. The cheap ones are usually vegan (not specially labeled vegan, but the ingredient list says so). Great for movie nights if you are not into potato chips.
Generally keep an eye open for the “vegan” label on products. Most supermarkets have at least a few products to choose from. Great stores are usually Edeka, Aldi, Penny, Lidl and Kaufland. I can’t really say something about Rewe, because there is no store near me. Really bad is Netto. Also better keep away from smaller Edeka Stores that are labeled as “nah & gut” or “nah & frisch”. These store are mostly in really small villages and tend to have absolutely no vegan products.
I found Alnatura/Biomarkt to be nice if you can find one and are willing to pay the extra bit for organic. I can understand though that the higher price might be too much for some.
Wow, thank you for these tips and suggestions! The salami sticks sound really interesting. Thank you also for the warning about the stores, we will be visiting some smaller towns too.
