Overview

• A Radio Arabella Instagram video shows Markus Söder refusing a vegan Leberkäs-Semmel, saying in Bavarian, "Des esse ich nicht" and calling it "ganz grausig."
• The Arabella team presented two rolls—one traditional, one plant-based—to test whether he could tell the difference before he declined the vegan option.
• Karin Baumüller-Söder declined as well but noted of the vegan choice, "Aber gesund ist es auf jeden Fall," drawing a brief on-camera exchange.
• Comments under the Instagram post were split, with some users backing Söder's refusal and others criticizing his unwillingness to try something new.
• FOCUS reported visitors who tried a vegan Leberkäse praising it and vendors across several tents saying vegan dishes have been selling regularly for years, with one server noting no such orders yet this year.
