Berlin Report: Sausage Edition

So, you thought Spain reigned supreme in the world of salted cured meats. Well, you were sorely mistaken my friend. Germany does not only beat Spain in the Champions League. Germany also beats Spain in terms of Love of Sausages and Salted Cured Meats. Allow us to illustrate our point:


Mmm. Salamis.

Mmm. Salamis.

Mmm. Blood sausage and sausage balls.


Mmm. Bratwurst.


Mmm. Salamis.

Mmm. Lomo embuchado. Yes, you can get it in Berlin. Here in Spain, we do Spanische Scweinelende mit paprika right. We do it so good that they import it in Germany.

And this, my friends, is the end-all be-all of salted cured meats. Beneath D's hand you can see the Queen Mother of All Sausages. La salchicha más grande. The mammoth salami that lives at KaDeWe.



Inside that building there, on the top floor, you will find all of these sausages and more. It's KaDeWe. They are celebrating their 100th anniversary right now with insane discounts on a lot of great items: everything from pants and shoes to sausages and Scotch whisky.

No visit to Berlin is complete without a trip to the KaDeWe food court. You laugh, perhaps, but that's only because you don't know what it's like to put your hand on a hundred-pound sausage.
