Berliner or Pfannkuchen are not the name of this deep fried goodness here in Hesse, we call them Krebbel.
Now the time is the high time of these things. You will get them with the craziest sweet fillings until the start of lent on Ash Wednesday.
Nutella, Vanilla, Bailys Cream or Pistacchios are the runnners at all the bakeries.
But I well remember sometimes a single one was filled with mustard. A nasty surprise when all friends tuck in in a moutain of Berliners.
But now it got out of hand. Some bakeries started to sell the sugar covered Berliners with raw pork with raw onions, curry sausage, döner meat and strong cheese creams like Obatzta.
I bought an unfilled sugary goodness this morning and headed to the butcher to buy raw but seasoned ground pork (Mett). A German breakfast favourite.
Red onion slices and pork on a sweet pastry - not such a bad idea. The combination was strange the first bite, but then the brain worked it out positiv.
But the sweet filled Berliners or Krebbel will be my go to still. This one was filled with Mocca cream.
