Food while travelling within Germany

A couple of weeks back, as we travelled through southern France we were really finding it hard to find vegetarian food other than Italian pizza, pasta. The best we could get was some baguette and omelete with some salad.
In Mont Blanc, our host Tony was of the opinion that French were not too experimental with food - that Germans were.

I have to agree with Tony. Just in one square (neumarkt) in Dresden, we had the following options:
Vietnamese, Mexican, Indian, Chinese, Spanish, Italian, German,South African, Cuban...

I also believe that vegetarianism has really caught up in Germany, a lot more than other parts of Europe.
All of the above restaurants had vegetarian options beyond salads. Some had many many options.

Even in a Gaststatte in a village like Hinterhermsdorf in Sachsen, we found lots of veggie food.

It's really nice. Traveling within Germany is really a comfortable experience.
