If (when?) you end up in Berlin, the one things that can't be passed up is Currywurst .  From Wikipedia a  fast food   dish of German  origin consisting of steamed, then fried  pork   sausage ( German :  Wurst ) cut into slices and seasoned with  curry ketchup , regularly consisting of  ketchup  or  tomato paste  blended with generous amounts of  curry powder , or a ready-made ketchup-based sauce seasoned with curry and other spices For you ketchup-averse types, this is - seriously - awesome food.  Surprisingly light (to be fair, for what it is, its surprisingly light :-) and immensely yummy, one of the best places to get it is at Krasselt's  ( Steglitzer Damm 22 ) where the lines are usually long, but move rapidly. (And yes, thats  +Heinz Gies  over on the left above) Also, FWIW, you're supposed to get it with a roll (which you use to sop up the ketchup/sauce), and (hot) chocolate milk to drink....
