Overly simplistic? Not sure why … I’m generally based in analogously cosmopolitan cities that either excel in historically regional fare (Tokyo), or borrow from those who built it up (NY/Dubai). Not so familiar with German food, however that may be defined, but it would be good to avail of it while in-country.
Used to be partial of Niederegger and Ritter Sport, until I tried good chocolate. Also might want to get one of those lye-soaked pretzels.
But I will look into the other recommendations, so I appreciate those.
Check out the chocolate available in the food hall of the KaDeWe department store when you visit. Most other department stores will also have a Food Hall with a chocolate selection, often in the basement.
RitterSport and Neideregger are easy to find everywhere. The department stores will also have other brands of marzipan, besides Neideregger.
Oh, and you need to get some ice cream at HokeyPokey (if you’re near a branch). Fantastic, and def responsible for a few lbs we put on this summer
PS: Niederegger is not meant to be a good chocolate brand. It’s a marzipan manufacturer. My dude has a soft spot for Ritter Sport, and I grew up with it, but I prefer Lindt or Leonidas.
Ritter Sport is often around $3 CAD to $4 CAD (~$2.25 USD- ~$3 USD), the plain versions and versions with nuts sometimes costing more than the yogurt, mint or cornflake Ritter Sport lately. I like the newish honey salt almond Ritter Sport.
The Milka are little harder to find. They’re also cheaper here. I’m not sure if the cheap Milka I see are Polish Milka instead of German Milka. I’ll check next time.
