Prenzlauer Berg

One food I had to try in Berlin was the famous currywurst, apparently born from the mishmash/limits of supplies available during the Berlin Wall era. It's a sliced up sausage, doused in curry-ketchup, with curry powder sprinkles, quite delicious! Also a special fork was invented just for eating it.

Next up, the ketwurst, which, as you may have guessed, is a ketchup-covered sausage (super inventive names going on here). What makes this one more interesting is that a hole is cut in the bun so the sausage, dipped in ketchup, can be inserted and ketchup doesn't leak out. This was actually invented by a special food ministry in east Germany during the wall era.

Continuing my *wurst quest, bockwurst, served traditionally with mustard and bun.

I also tried Berlin doner kebabs, made in a quarter pita-ish bread instead of a wrap. Cheap and tasty! (Forgot to take a pic).

Finally, I tried Königsberger Klopse, a traditional dish of meatballs and potatoes in creamy sauce, yum!Read more
