Handkaes Mit Musik is a traditional German appetizer that originated in Hesse. The dish is named after the combination of handkaes cheese and music (the onion-anchovy mixture), which is thought to make your stomach sing. Handkaes cheese is a sour, crumbly cheese made from skimmed milk, and it's one of the few German cheeses that are protected by EU law. In Hesse, the dish is often served with rye bread rolls and a glass of apple wine.
