Some German members may be along shortly with some links for you.

Hungarian traditional crafts may share some elements with German ones so try a 'google image' or 'you-tube' search for 'Népi mesterségek' and see if any of the resulting images or videos give you any ideas.

If you know what the German for 'Traditional Folk Crafts' is I'd be curious to know.

The german translation for traditional folk crafts would be something like "traditionelles Handwerk" or "volkstuemliches Handwerk"
My missus is german and she has had a right laugh at this thread

and making damn fine Schnellimbiss foods where we only seem to be able to come up with fish & chips (which to be fair is very hard to beat) or poxy roadside burger bars. Oh, and I enjoyed Alt bier for a good few years too.

Spoke to the German lady who lives in our "willage" (her words not mine) Anyway I asked her the question and told her some of the examples that had been submitted in this thread and she laughed. So she sat there thinking about it her French husband chipped in a few comments and she finally settled on the principle craft enjoyed by Germans is beer. The fact that the second and thrid preferred hobby craft happens to be Beer as well sorta makes you wonder if there's anyone sober enough in German to design and make those fine cars.

Thought you'd like to know. not that this puts and end to the thread as I'm sure those Germans tea-totallers occupy themselves with something, unless they brew non alocholic beers.

Over regulation does appear to be a key factor.
