Jamie McDine's Englishman's guide to what makes Germany different
Part F: Fast food
Kebabs
With over 3 million Turks in Germany, you can be pretty much guaranteed a superb kebab wherever you go. You’ll also find they’re a fair bit cheaper than in England, as there is so much competition between the different kebab shops. One of the most useful phrases for the World Cup: “Döner komplett bitte”. That’s everything, salad, sauce, meat, bread, the lot!
If you fancy a change, or something for the lady, then you could always try a lahmacun, which is a Turkish pizza bread they wrap the kebab meat in, and tastes particularly good with Feta cheese.
Sausages

| Sausage, ketchup and curry powder |
The Germans are famous for their sausages, and every region has its own speciality, or ways in which they cook them. Especially if you're in Berlin - or practically anywhere else for that matter - give Currywurst a try, you wont have had anything like it before and you wont ever want to go back!
The Thüringer Bratwurst is as much a crowd pleaser as a Steven Gerrard 40-yard pass, whereas the Bockwurst is more of your no frills defensive midfield break up the play sort of sausage - what you see is what you get.
