A variety of food tastings in the international city of Berlin.

Introduction:

During my stay in Germany, I was able to experience some traditional German dishes. Also, some international dishes.

What food did I try?:

Since Berlin is more of an international city, there are many international food shops that represents many cultures.I tried a Turkish dish with many meat varieties, sauces and vegetables; a Greek dish that looked fancy - it tasted like salty stew; pizza from a famous chef; and of course a few German dishes.

How did I feel when I tried it?:

Some fancy dishes like the Greek were not as satisfying while being expensive. The Greek resturaunt named Greek Olympia is an hour train ride outside the city center, near Adlershof. I went on a Sunday to explore. Most stores were closed and there was barely any customers. The food was extremely salty and the meat was tough. However, I have enjoyed other German foods, particularly, potatoes, blood sausage and pork knuckle, which had a crispy exterior alongside a rich sauce and the blood sausage.

How is the food prepared?:

I have eaten most dishes in restaurants. Rarely is the food baked as it felt mostly fried or pre-cooked/ frozen. It seems most Germans cook at home and rarely eat out.
