Sell these books, some in German, Think sweet food, bread and cake is very tasty but struggle with heavy German main dishes.
My mum as soon as she got over the border to Germany, looked for nearest supermarkets for all her favorite food – Maltz bier, German Rye bread, Teewurst, Salamis (my father liked), Noodles, Lakaritza, even Butter, Peffer Kuchen and small sachets of Vanilla Sugar and Baking Powder – (my mum was brought up here but not her parents who came from other countries – think in central Europe, it’s not so unusual to be Heinz 57).
Just before Christmas, she would search Christmas Markets for Puffer Cakes on street corners, now called Reibe Kuchen with Apfel sauce, warm and filling in the cold winter air and small cornets of handmade boiled sweets.
My own memory visiting Berlin are my step Omi (big lady (over 6ft) who wore very big impressive earrings) getting up while we were all asleep to fetch Schrippen – still warm from the baker shop and taking me round the attic at the very top of her building where they dried their clothes which went round all four corners of this building (there was a central open area) with her dachsund Purzel.
