6 high-end ingredients for a closed-shops-Sunday
In Germany, unlike many other countries, shops are normally closed on Sundays and sometimes especially elderly people even get upset with McDonalds or bakeries being open – or even worse: ‚Verkaufsoffene Sonntage‘ – Sundays where stores are allowed to be open. These are, however, rare, so for me this trading situation very regularly creates the […]
On Breads and Cakes – Part 2
Ah, here we are: the bread section. If you’ve read my other works on German delicacies (which you can find here and here), this one won’t come as a surprise. Are you bready ready? First of all, however, it is vital to acknowledge the fact that a) the reinforcement of stereotypes is harmful for the […]
On Cakes and Breads – Part 1
For the savoury introduction to this part, click here. There are many different cakes you can obtain in your bakery of trust, but keep in mind that, depending on where you are, they have very distinct and “different” names, so to speak. For one, there is the infamous Berliner, a round, spongy pancake with various […]
“If the people have no bread, let them eat cake!”

A berry funny day
It was a beautiful Saturday in May; the sun was shining high in the sky; the birds were singing in the trees; children were playing outside, laughing happily… And what was I doing? Sitting inside, inside at my desk, inside brooding over some tasks for university. My gaze kept wandering to the window and the […]
It’s all about the sausage – A special tribute to Coney Island

An alternative taste – The lack of meat doesn’t mean to be a lack of flavour
Probably everyone has its opinion about vegan. They don’t eat meat, only vegetables. They don’t drink any milk from a cow only soy. And so on and so on. If you think their nutrition doesn’t sound very varied, then you are pretty wrong. Have you ever tried some vegan food ? Have you ever thought about […]
