Are you from Berlin? Because I always thought Berlin is famous for its Currywurst
The region I live in has several famous foods. The town itself is famous for its "Flieten" (a kind of chicken wings), its wine and of course "Nussecken" and "Teerdisch" (mashed potatoes mixed with sauerkraut and roasted onions(
The highlands to the south where my family comes from is famous for its "Kartoffelsuppe mit Waffeln" (potato soup with waffles, one of my all time favorites, the picture doesn't do it justice but it's the only one I could find that fast), "Bohnensuppe mit Pfannkuchen" (Bean soup and pancakes, but the soup is with green beans, not white beans, and the pankaces aren't sweet but salted, that's why it's a specialty.
Found no picture, sorry.) , "Mählwätz mit Speck" (dumplings made from flour, milk and eggs mainly, first boiled shortly, than baked, than doused with hot butter, onions and speck/bacon, preferably smoked) or "Hefkließ" (dumplings made from baker's yeast, flour etc., fried and rolled in sugar (and sometimes cinnamon)), the two famous versions of "Spießbraten" (Idarer und Obersteiner), not to forget the famous potatoe and noodle salads and "Sauerkraut mit Gestumpte" (sauerkraut with Kassler, mashed potatoes and mashed yellow peas). And of course cakes (as the stories have it, the highland wives used to be famous for their talents in baking cakes, and serving the stereotype my mom's and my grandmothers' cakes were awesome: Streuselkuchen normal (like crumb cake), with Rhabarber, with apple, with cherry, with plum), "Apfelgitterkuchen" (filled with either crushed apples like in the picture or with apple puree), "Pflaumenboden" (plum cake similar to that in the picture, but more flat (hence "Pflaumenboden" and not "Pflaumenkuchen") and served with sugar and whipped cream), "Erdbeerboden" (similar just with strawberries and served without sugar, therefore the cake itself is sweeter), "Hefezopf", "Nußkranz", "Kalter Hund" and many more.There are a lot of other specialties along the river and further to the south like "Zwiebelkuchen", "Saumagen" (looks nasty but tastes really good), "Grumbierplätzja" (fried potatoe mash shaped like cookies and served with sweet apple puree, can be very addictive and will give you a heart attack sooner or later as of a fat overdose), "Winzersteaks" (steaks with a special marinade and doused in wine, served either with fried potatoes or with "Specksalat") and so on
