Since I have such an obsession with food, let me share with you a few details about German food.
1. Currywurst: It's a sausage with curry ketchup, served with fries or a bread roll. I have had it twice and that's that. Every time I have one, I end up realizing that it's not really that impressive. But if you're in Berlin, you have to try it!
2. Potatoes: Almost every meal I have had at the mensa contains potatoes. Once I even had potato fried with bread crumbs as well as mashed potatoes.
3. Bread: the Germans also take their bread seriously. Do you know how to tell the difference between German and French bread? If you can use it to kill someone, it's German bread. I lugged one home once from the supermarket and my back was sore.
4. Meat: The German diet also contains a lot of meat. For a German meal at a restaurant, I had hunks of pork with potato dumplings.
5. Apfelstrudel: my new favorite since I had one last night with vanilla sauce. It was warm and scrumptious. I even liked the raisins in it (I usually don't like raisins messing with my desserts).
Food is heavy here. I'm feeling it.
