Currywurst secret tips: Discover Berlin's hidden snack treasures!

In Berlin, the currywurst remains an undisputed delicacy that inspires tourists and locals alike. The popular snack, which has been taking a distinctive place in the food culture of the capital since the creation by Herta Heuwer 75 years ago, is sold at numerous stands - often at tourist hotspots such as the Checkpoint Charlie or the television tower. But insiders now reveal that there are true insider tips away from the usual paths that enjoy less awareness. In its latest YouTube video, the Food Influencer "Bennis Buffet" visited the snack "Kemmet" in Neukölln, "Jörg’s Curry Container" and "Schmidt’s snack" in Steglitz, where the currywurst is not only served with sharp onions, but also in special variations. These less frequented shops offer delicious and authentic options that represent an experience for every currywurst lover, as well as taz reported .

While the currywurst is flourishing, a lively discussion about the diet is running in Berlin. 14 years ago, the first large demo took place against the agricultural-industrial complex, and next Saturday, numerous organizations are mobilizing again to demonstrate for sustainable agriculture. With the “Kantine Zukunft” project, the Berlin Senate took measures to make the community kitchens of the city more environmentally conscious by targeting biological food. This is done in particular in daycare centers and schools, where organic shares should increase significantly. Nevertheless, the question remains open whether the initiatives of recent years have actually led to a perceptible change or whether the implementation has stalled, as the Situation in transport shows. The pressure is growing, and the upcoming world's largest trade fair for agriculture and nutrition, the "Green Week", offers a suitable setting to take stock.

The challenges of the nutritional turn

The current situation in the biosphere is mixed: While Berlin consumers are willing to invest proportionately more in organic food than the national average, there are challenges regarding the regional availability of these products. A concept that aims to establish regional value chains is already being planned, but the specific results are still pending. Critics such as the Nutrition Council require a more complete strategy and complain about an imbalance that could endanger the sustainable diet in Berlin. As the taz reported, however, this path is very deliberately chosen, although the main notes are still on the promotion of sustainable food production.
