Sounds like you lads have been going to gay bars. Not sure what ur talking about

    bosstrabs My point was more the lack of interest in sports, but that’s not quite accurate, it’s their lack of interest in anything that could be considered ‘culture’.

      Why haven’t you done a better job at taking the proper sandwhich culture abroad? All we get in Europe is Subway and it sucks.

        Homegrove we have tried. However, that sarnie butty and barm eaters from the UK have a cancelling effect on all of our progress.

            Unless we are allowed to go on safari in London and Manchester we have to settle for the next best thing.

            Why don’t you add sales tax/VAT to your ticket price like everone else does?

            Why do you pronounce the word “herb” with a silent H?

            zackster we have tried. However, that sarnie butty and barm eaters from the UK have a cancelling effect on all of our progress.

            Nonsense, UK’s sandwich culture is immense. The suckage of most of mainland Europe/Scandinavia on that front is unrelated and baffling. The fact that the sole Pret a Manger (a UK chain) in Berlin Hauptbahnhof is one of the best sandwich shops in Berlin says it all.

                When will Yanks realise their whole way of life is a sham and only a notch above Mexico, one notch below Canada?

                Think Zacko will need some time to compile the detailed responses WE DESERVE

                It’s that good in the states many people have loaded guns

                LT42 LOL, you don’t get out much do you, Hugo. No sign of “Pret-a-Manger” on the list here.

                Ah yes, tripadvisor, that most reliable indicator of quality.

                I have actually been to 4 of the places in that top 10 though:

                • Brammibal’s sells vegan doughnuts. Don’t even think they do sandwiches?! And even if they did they’d be vegan, so immediately out.
                • Zeit für Brot does great cinammon buns, but their sandwiches have never looked particularly appealing.
                • Markthalle Neun is a food market which has more street food type stalls - not so much sandwiches for lunch, more if you want to get a bao bun in the evening.

                The only place I’ve been to on there which is actually excellent for sandwiches is Mogg, which does mean pastrami and ‘reuben’ sandwiches.

                There are a few other places in both the top 10 and top 20 that seem good but for things other than sandwiches. The only other one which might be worth checking out is Distrikt. But as with Mogg it’s a pricey independent place in the centre of the city. It really is slim pickings.

                Looking through the list, and in the city in general, many of them are just similar unimaginative Italian-inspired salami/mozzarrella/tomato in a ciabatta or painfully crusty baguette. A lot of “trendy” places here also only offer vegetarian or vegan sandwiches; cos it’s Berlin, and also maybe it’s easier.
