Food: Taste the GDR at Alain Snack, Berlin

Currywurst or Ketwurst – GDR snack time at Alain Snack

Alain’s Snack Bar in Prenzlauer Berg not only dates back to the days of East Berlin, but it serves a popular GDR East Berlin snack called Ketwurst.

What is Kettwurst?

Ketwurst (or Kettwurst) is a sausage covered in ketchup and squeezed into a hollowed-out roll. The ketchup isn’t as spicy as currywurst. Not the prettiest of snacks to look at, or to eat.  Keep a load of napkins handy for slurpage.

Want to try some more? Visit Konnopke’s Imbiss in Prenzlauer Berg, which has been serving up classic currywurst and boulette for decades.
