[1] What is everyone doing with their spare meat parts?
[2] Is bread something that you noticed in Berlin? Or is it just personnal taste? I never had anything that didn't come out of a bakery in a German speaking country that was (a) satisfying and (b) not baguette. Hmm too many negations here. Let me try again - 'The only bread I like abroad is Baguette (sometimes)'. ;-)
I do really miss the small corner bakeries and all the different varieties of brotchens. Also the coldcuts - its very difficult to find ham, for instance, that is anywhere near as good as I found in Germany; 95% of what is in U.S. supermarkets is basic boiled Virginia or Polish ham.
