Food is an important part of each culture but for Bavarians food is exceptionally important. If you are vegetarian or vegan you will have a hard time being here but if you are into savory food with lots of meat, you can spend your whole time just trying all the different dishes. Definitely try all the local specialites like roasted pork knuckle, pork roast, Fleischpflanzerl (Bavarian meatballs) or Weißwurst (veal sausage). As for drinking it is quite obvious to try out all the different Bavarian beers (look for smaller and local breweries).
