I asked my mom if she’d be interested in trying some authentic German food, so we ended up deciding on a small German café in Huntsville called Café Berlin. The décor was very simple earth tones for the most part; fresh flowers and a small lamp set atop black and white tablecloths was also a neat and fresh pattern. As we looked over the menu I appreciated how most items on the menu were not “Americanized” by changing the German names to descriptive English names. We started off with a wiener sampler that came with sauerkraut and spicy mustard.
We loved it! Then, I ordered the jaeger schnitzel (pronounced “yager”) as my entrée along with au gratin and a salad with real bleu cheese dressing. The jaeger schnitzel is breaded pork topped with a burgundy-onion, mushroom sauce, the au gratin is basically seasoned, sliced, cheesy potatoes, and as for the real blue cheese salad, it was strong but very tasty! It all went together so well! I noticed the pattern seemed to be breads, meat, cabbage, and potatoes, very full and rich flavors that are most popular in German culture. I enjoyed the experience; although, I did see one thing on the menu I won’t be trying anytime soon- Escargot.
