We are back in Berlin – and for good, at least for the next years and besides being busy getting settled again, we are exploring our city on foot, discovering and rediscovering culinary options, delights and other sights.
Yesterday clearly was marked by the love for cocoa beans and chocolate, first visiting the famous Fassbender and Rausch store at Gendarmen Markt, not only selling the best ever pralines and chocolates, but as well displaying the most famous Berlin landmarks rebuild in chocolate:
This visit was followed by an all time kids favorite just around the corner – the Rittersport museum and shop, where you can design your own chocolate featuring all kinds of ingredients such as nuts, chilies, spices, sweets and more. While you wait for your chocolate bar to be ready to collect, you can stroll through the museum and shop, choosing from a huge variety of flavors and shapes:
After so many sweet stuff, some savory fare was what we needed. So what better than to go for the best Schnitzel ever, at least for sure in Berlin, not to offend any Austrian readers! So we had dinner at another Berlin institution – Lutter & Wegner at Gendarmenmarkt:
The Schnitzel came accompanied by this delicious potato and cucumber salad, here is the recipe for 4-6 as a side dish for meat or as part of a bbq buffet:
- 1kg of potatoes, peeled and sliced
- 1 large cucumber, peeled and finely sliced
- 3 tbs white wine vinegar
- 3 tbs vegetable oil
- 1 tbs mustard
- 2tbs dill
- salt and pepper
Boil the potatoes until not too soft. Allow to cool slightly and mix with mixture of vinegar, oil and mustard. Season with slat and pepper, mix with the cucumber and dill and serve warm. For a twist you can serve it with fried bacon bits.
