| Mauerpark and the last warm day of the year? |

It's mid-November and we got to enjoy a temperature of +18°C and sun today! Wohoo! But isn't it just typical that our friends
H and
C left for Helsinki this morning, and all they saw in Berlin was rain... After they left we tried to make the most of the weather anyway by going to Mauerpark for a stroll. We haven't been there for months and were certainly reminded of that it really is the best Sunday market around: there's so much music, so much food, such a good atmosphere, so many things I could want. Sure, it can be a bit crowded, but that's a good excuse to stop for something to eat or drink while people watching. We found a birthday present for
A's mom – like two weeks in advance –so for once we won't have to panic about finding and sending someone a gift on time!
As it happens, I found a new favourite fast food today in Mauerpark, the Turkish
gözleme: thinly kneaded dough, fried on a rounded pan, folded over and filled, then served with a salad. Ours was filled with spinach and cheese, then wrapped around some fresh salad. The gözleme had a lovely crepe-like taste with a touch of great grill aroma and was fresh and light to eat. I feel an addiction coming on!

I am also totally addicted to gözleme (or gözzies as my Turkish friend calls them). There is also a stall at the Kollwitzplatz market on a Saturday. And if you can't wait Knopfi on Bergmannstrasse in Kreuzberg serves them all the time. Hmmmnnn, I could do with one of those right now...
ReplyDeleteOooh, that's great to know! So delish! I was so upset to only have tried them now, I could have been eating them all this time...
