Berlin is a food lovers paradise and I'm determined to taste everything from schnitzels to bratwurst to pretzels all of it
0:06
Let's see if I can survive eating only German food for the next 24 hours in Berlin
0:10
So the first stop on our list is to find a German Doner kebab
0:14
Now the classic Berlin Doner contains meat salad is just like your typical Doner kebab
0:19
I've just found a place that does Doner kebab. So let's go try a proper German Doner kebab
0:23
I've got my German Doner kebab. I believe the traditional way to have it is beef. So I got beef. There's also the option for chicken
0:36
I don't even know how I'm supposed to eat this. It's massive
0:39
I also got fries just because I had to spend a certain amount to be able to pay by card
0:43
So we've got fries as well. So let's give it a go Oh no no no no
0:56
I can't lie that Doner kebab was insane I understand why people rave about them here now. Like it was so much better than any other kebab I've ever had
1:06
I did it with garlic sauce and it was actually really really really nice. That has actually filled me up guys
1:12
It's a first. It was a huge portion and obviously it's meat and bread
1:16
Okay, so I'm just in the U-Bahn which is essentially the like Berlin Metro. We're gonna go find some currywurst
1:22
We're going to curry 36 I think it's called and then heading to like the East Side Gallery and that sort of area
1:28
Because I can also get schnitzel from there. So that's my plan is I'm gonna find some currywurst now. I will see you there
1:38
Okay, so if you didn't know currywurst is basically chopped up bratwurst with like spicy ketchup on it
1:44
I'm actually not sure why they call it curry currywurst because it's not actually curry
1:49
But it is like spicy ketchup on like a bratwurst cut up bratwurst sausage and it's usually served with fries
1:55
Which is how I've got mine. So let's eat this now Okay, now I will say with a currywurst I would not get it unless you like ketchup because it is very
2:07
Very ketchup-y. So if you don't like ketchup currywurst is not the one for you. However, I actually really enjoyed it
2:14
Although it does get quite sickly after a while because of the ketchup on it
2:18
I honestly don't think I need the sauce Like extra ketchup on the chips as well. I think the sauce from the currywurst is plenty for me, but it was really good
2:27
Okay, so I've just been for a walk down East Side Gallery and the Berlin Wall and now I'm off to find some schnitzel
2:34
Schnitzel is traditionally made from cuts of veal or pork. Obviously in the UK we have chicken schnitzel
2:39
So I've never actually tried pork or veal schnitzel, which is like the proper German way of having it
2:46
So I believe it's gonna be very very different and hopefully much better. But I guess we'll see. So let's go try some schnitzel
3:00
Okay, so I've got myself some schnitzel. It is a pork schnitzel and it was 9 euros
3:05
It's not too bad for like a whole main meal. That's like eight pound
3:09
I think it's actually not too bad for an entire meal to be fair, but let's give it a go and try some proper
3:15
German schnitzel That is actually really good I feel like I've gone from the one extreme of
3:25
The currywurst having too much sauce to this having literally no sauce on it
3:29
I don't know if I needed to pay for extra sauce, but it's really nice anyway
3:34
But I think it could do with some sauce to be honest Okay The last thing that I need to get on my German food tour is a pretzel
3:43
Now if you don't know what pretzel is, it's essentially just bread that's been twisted into a knot and it's got salt on it
3:49
You can get different ones or you can get them made into sandwiches But I'm just gonna get a pretzel and then I can take it with me and go and sleep because I am knackered from running
3:59
Around going and getting food I have my pretzel Let's give it a go
4:10
It's actually a butter one so it's all we have left to do I'm right at the end of the day
4:14
This is what it's looking like It looks so good It's actually got butter in it
4:24
I actually don't know what I was expecting Honestly that's so good though
4:28
It's literally just bread, anything bread and I'm happy
