Thank goodness for that.
Prussian cuisine is pretty a mashup of the more odd
aspects of the cuisines around it. When I see something
on the menu described as "nach Berliner Art" I tend to
walk away; I can't imagine food advertised "nach
Preussischer Art."
I'm with the Bavarian choice all the way; it's kind of
the difference between boiled pig and roast pig.
Note too that red jelly with vanilla sauce (Rote
Gruetze) is one of the consolations of a Berliner meal.
Oh, I''m not saying that you can't get a good meal
here, but rather that it's not going to be indigenous
food, and it's going to cost you. The best roast pigeon
I ever had was at Vau; I still dream of it.
