Ice Leg

You've got to love the traditional meat dish from Berlin, the inimitable "Eisbein" (ice leg). It's a fatty, wobbly meat treat and it's been around for ages. Some say that it's one of the most aesthetically displeasing things Berlin has to offer.

But I think that's being a bit cheeky. There's a place round the corner called "Zum Schusterjungen" which serves a seriously phat leg of ice. Order with a dash of puréed peas and cabbage that's been cooking for half a day - mmmmh, delicious.

important info: the "Schusterjunge" is the only SKY football tavern I could find that allows children (all the other ones are for over-18 because of the smoking law)

Don't worry: that ridiculous "non-smoking law" is going to (again) come in for the Euroblog treatment...

Oh dear god, the repressed memory has returned...

I've been having nightmares - wobbly, fat-laden, ham-like nightmares.

Make it stop, please!
