Max und Moritz
So this place, was one of few bits of research I did before heading to Berlin. It seemed to have been around for ages and specialised in German classics. Doesn’t mean it was any good of course.
Loafs of wood paneling, a hearty welcome and even heartier food, it was everything we hoped for.
The missus went for a Pilsner to drink. I went for their specially brewed unfiltered beer, Kreuzberger Molle. Delicious and unlike most other beers I tried in Berlin
The missus went for Westfälische Mettenden, Westphalian sausages with pickled green bean salad and boiled potatoes I tried a bit. Slight smoke on the sausages and a great texture. The pickled green beans were great for cutting through the richness.
I went for the Berliner Eisbein, slightly salted pork knuckle; of course I did. It was massive bit absolutely delicious and beautifully fatty in the middle. It also came with sauerkraut but more interestingly a pea puree. This was made with split peas and almost identical to pease pudding. This is traditionally from the NE of England and served with boiled ham. It shows the commonality in cuisines , in northern Europe.
