Who in their right mind will end in a
German Deli in West Berlin? Obviously me after watching Berlin's No Reservations
episode, damn you Bourdain why are you doing this to me? If you read my
previous post, yes this is the food related place I was really looking forward
to eating. Rogacki is a traditional Deli, you can go there buy any products you
want or if you’re lazy enough like me you can go to the
back of the deli and basically they have stations to prepare anything, from
fresh fish to salted beef and of course Sauerkraut, lots of Sauerkraut.
The Place
Cheese George Cheese!
Meats
After wandering around like a kid on
Christmas in a toys store, finally decided. Believe me it’s not easy, they have
counters everywhere, selling everything since 1928. The English level of the
personnel is deficient but they will help you a lot until you finally by
pointing here and there get what you want.
This is the big fish
Sadly no asparagus that day, but got an
amazing fried fish, sauerkraut, brawn (head cheese), and of course meat, lots
of them, many I don’t remember.
Variety is the key
Excellent food, worth the trip, and again
Bourdain you were damn right.
Deli reminds me the Seinfeld episode “TheMarine Biologist”.
George: So I started
to walk into the water. I won't lie to you boys, I was terrified! But I pressed
on and as I made my way passed the breakers a strange calm came over me. I
don't know if it was divine intervention or the kinship of all living things
but I tell you Jerry at that moment I was a marine biologist!
Elaine: George I was
just reading this thing in the papers, it's amazing!
George: I know I was
just telling them the story.
Kramer: Come on
George, finish the story.
George: The sea was
angry that day my friends, like an old man trying to return soup at a deli! I
got about fifty-feet out and then suddenly the great beast appeared before me.
I tell you he was ten stories high if he was a foot. As if sensing my presence
he gave out a big bellow. I said, "easy big fellow" And then as I
watched him struggling I realized something was obstructing his breathing. From
where I was standing I could see directly into the eye of the great fish!
Jerry: Mammal.
George: Whatever.
Kramer: Well, what did
you do next?
George: Then from out
of nowhere a huge title wave lifted, tossed like a cork and I found myself on top
of him face to face with the blow-hole. I could barely see from all of the
waves crashing down on top of me but I knew something was there so I reached my
hand and pulled out the obstruction!
Kramer: What is that a
Titleist? A hole in one eh.
Jerry: Well the crowd
most have gone wild!
George: Oh yes they
did Jerry they were all over me. It was like Rocky 1. Diane came up to me,
threw her arms around me, and kissed me. We both had tears streaming down our
faces. I never saw anyone so beautiful. It was at that moment I decided to tell
her I was not a marine biologist!
Jerry: Wow! What'd she
say?
George: She told me to
"go to hell" and I took the bus home.
