Five food finds
EISBEIN
Cured, boiled ham hock traditionally served with sauerkraut and pease pudding. This is hearty stuff — leave room in your itinerary for
a post-Eisbein nap.
CHICKEN GEMÜSE KEBAP Expand your doner kebab horizons with a chicken, cheese and vegetable version, sandwiched into an oval
Turkish flatbread.
GHERKINS
Spreewald gherkins are a muchloved product from the state of Brandenburg. Try them in beef roulades or alongside a grilled
cheese sandwich.
SENFEIER Hard-boiled eggs in a creamy mustard sauce and served with potatoes. This is a nostalgic childhood favourite for
many Berliners.
KOUIGN-AMANN Although this flaky, buttery, sugary pastry hails from Brittany, there are excellent examples in Berlin. Hunt one down and enjoy
with a coffee.
