"Dampf" is German for steam. I believe its one of the things eaten at the Octoberfest to which the author alludes to indirectly the article:

>the land of beer and wonderful Bayerischen Frauen and delicious food

The author appears to have picked Germany as a bit of an overall theme (Beer, Prost, Dampfnudel, Bayern etc). Not sure why.
