Currywurst

One thing that is typical and must not be missed in Berlin is the "Currywurst", a spicy sausage with curry flavoured tomato sauce and sold at fast food stations throughout the city.
The "Currywurst", this typical Berlin delicacy, was honoured in June 2003 with a memorial.

Schwäbische Maultaschen



Schwäbische Maultaschen are dough pockets with a filling made from minced meat or vegetables. A particular feature is the use of spinach in the filling. They are rectangular or strudel shaped and are blanched or fried before being eaten. The weight of each individual pocket varies between 40 and 150 g. Maultaschen for soup are smaller and weight between 10 and 40 g.
