Berlin Snack Food
We didn’t mean to eat nothing but
snack food all day as we wandered about Berlin, but before we knew it,
there we were at 3:45 a.m. Sunday morning munching on currywurst.
The day was over. And all we had eaten between the two of us were
three doner kebaps, two currywursts, two donuts, two Berliner
bratwursts, and french fries.
For those of you back in the states (i.e., everyone reading this), here is a breakdown of what all that stuff is:
CURRYWURST: Bratwursts cut up into pieces with curry powder
sprinkled on, and then squirted all over with ketchup. Damn tasty.
DONER KEBAP: The late-night king and ultimate Berlin snack
food. It is so popular due to the large Turkish population
here. This is “lamb on a spit” (just like a gyro) that is put in
a really tasty Turkish bread with cabbage salad, mayo, and sometimes
hot sauce.
BRATWURST: Grilled white sausage. ‘Nuff said.
