Speisekarte
Menu
Language note: The word 'Speisekarte' comes from 'Speise' (dish) and 'Karte' (card), so it's literally a 'dish card'.
Culture note: German menus often start with appetizers (Vorspeisen) and include mains (Hauptgerichte) and desserts (Desserts). Coherent structure is key!
Context: You arrive at a German restaurant and the waiter greets you at your table.
