More at Domäne Dahlem

Domäne Dahlem has a farm and sells its produce on site. There are pumpkins everywhere in Berlin at the moment, and they feature on a lot of restaurant menus. They are also used to decorate every kind of establishment, from a high class jewellers to a bar.

Note the curly pumpkin and the blue potatoes

Of course we had to eat with such a lot of good food to choose from. I had been wanting to try Kartoffelpuffer mit Apfelmus (an unlikely combination of potato cakes with apple puree. As usual, the serving was enormous. One of the kitchens was selling Goose leg with red cabbage and dumplings in honour of St Martin whose day it is on 11 November. I don’t know how people could move after the size of portion they had. There was a wood-burning brazier with benches round it, and lots of tables and benches where you could sit.
