What's the one food everyone should if they're in Berlin?


Döner.

and for the love of god get a good one with veal meat and not the crap with chicken. Aside from that I am not aware of something distinctly from Berlin. Berlin pretty much has every type of restaurant you could want.

yea it depends a lot on where you get it. It's awesome though after you drank a lot of alcohol.


for the Ö and stuff just write it oe instead (but best get used to the german keyboard layout). It's an accepted form of writing these so

ö = oe
ü = ue

Do you know much about Bavarian food? Like I said in the blog: we're doing Bowling then Bavarian food as the company's monthly activity!

I myself am from Berlin so I can tell you the stereotypical stuff. What yo uwill most likely get is Weißwurst and Bretzeln.

Weißwurst is a veal sausage where you cut it open and get out the meat inside it. Bretzeln is a Pretzel but I think the dough is different to what you get outside germany.

You might also get Spätzel, this I like a lot. It's basically a type of pasta often served with meat dishes. My advice to you is dont get Weißwurst. Most germans outside Bavaria think it's disgusting because the way you eat it is just weird. If one of your co-workers get it ask him for a bite, but I'd say it's not for beginners.

Isn't everything a whole lot better after you've drank a lot of alcohol? ^^

It's pretty much standard price, naturally with everything else I listed; I don't think it's amongst the best of perks.
What's funny is that is a reduced price than what it'd really be. Woes of being at the center of a tourist area.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bavarian_cuisine

This should explain pretty much everything. tl;dr: If you love meat it's for you.

Things to try when it comes to meat: Weißwurst, Leberkäse (literally "Liver cheese", the Bavarian version has neither liver nor cheese in it however), Sauerbraten.

Cold things: Pretzels, Obatzda (literally "clumped" in Bavarian slang)

Sweet stuff: Apfelstrudel, Bienenstich (contains neither bees nor stings)

...for Beer while you're in the north I'd recommend black beer ("Schwarzbier"), which has a pretty malty/sweet/heavy kind of flavor. If it's about the south... grab the closest local and ask him what he drinks or recommends. Waitresses also do a great job there. Whatever you do, staying away from the big brands is usually not a bad idea if you have local beer around.

Not much of a success story until the project actually gets up and running Pink. This is what we call infant stages. Long road ahead.

Correct, but the work is something I personally enjoy and the people make the place very much waking up early to (like now).

Well, if you weren't doing something you personally enjoy then I would ask "what are you doing with your life?" Because if you aren't passionate about the work you do then you need a change. Money is great and all but if you aren't getting personal satisfaction from what you do. Then you might just need a career change because you won't be happy in the long run. From what I've seen and heard you've been building up towards something like this. It's great that you found people you like working with. That is part of the process but what you guys achieve is something completely different though. I've worked with upstart businesses before and we made good revenue within our first year (one of which ended up being on the Dragon's Den) unfortunately the owner was too-short sighted and it ended up as a flop. You know who got all the business? Mark Zuckerberg. Cannot wait to see how this turns out for you Torte. Wish you all the best bud.

Haha, Bavarian cuisine is fat as hell. I´d stick to Weisswurst with a decent sweet mustard, that´s great.

Beerwise, assuming ignorance here, it depends highly on whether you drink Pils or Hefe / Weissbier. The former is what one usually means internationally (outside of Bavaria ) by beer , the latter is made differently, much heavier and sweeter. So if you don´t like beer because it´s too bitter, then you may give this a try at the Bavarian place.

Thanks (:
To be honest, when it came to a first job, I didn't expect eSports (I literally got no interest or interviews from companies outside though, no matter how much I varied and altered my CV). Personal satisfaction was definitely not something I was expecting out of a first job with limited real-work experience.

Check if 'Duckstein' Weissbier or Weizenbier is available, I had it two weeks ago in Dresden and it was not too bad.

Just had "dürüm döner", it was like the Shish Taouk we have in Lebanese restaurants. But it was a bit spicy and no turnips, so I liked it :D

It was only 3.40 too
