Blending the robust flavors of German cooking with France’s more refined, technique-based approach to food, Alsatian cuisine is a product of the region’s geography and history. Situated on the French-German border, Alsace repeatedly switched hands between these two countries before finally becoming a part of France. The Alsatian menu captures the unique balance of French and German influences.

The province of Alsace is mostly German in population and was a province of Germany and German states several times during history before being seized by Napoleon and then given back to France after WWI……….
However if the cooking is indeed without elements of French cooking that sounds very silly! I myself don’t much like the French, but have to admit that their cooking is superb, while that of Germany would rival the English for last place in Europe!
If they prefer German cooking do they also drive French cars, take English lovers, vote for Italian politicians, build Russian freeways and use Mexican taxis?

No, you are wrong.
Alsatian cuisine is considered a French regional cuisine, and its techniques are definitely more French than German.
