Sjennon Sees - Visiting the Christmas Market at Gendarmermarkt, Berlin and eating Langós!

Christmas is no Christmas without some proper Christmas Markets.

Fortunately, Berlin has many! After work, my colleagues and me decided to go and grab a steaming gluhwein at the Christmas Market at Gendarmermarkt.

It is a nice market with lots of stands of drinks, food and (sometimes somewhat useless) souvenirs. However, before you reach this amazing place, you have to stand in line.

On the contrary to most Christmas Markets, you have to pay an entry for this one. And that isn't necessarily a bad thing. The whole one euro entry gives you a more limited crowd (because why pay if you can go to one for free?), more security and less scum on the streets.

After we entered the market, we immediately went for food. Well, most of my colleagues did, me and Maxime had different priorities and went straight for some gluhwein with Amaretto. We didn't want to eat raclette anyway. Ew, cheese!

After a couple of gluhweins, it was finally time to get some food. On recommendations of one of my colleagues I went for a langós. I had never heard or tasted it before but oh my god. I didn't make any pictures as my mind was blown with tastiness and I ate it like a beast. So here's a random one :D

JUST LOOK AT THAT BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF ISH.

Lángos (Hungarian pronunciation: [ˈlaːŋɡoʃ]; Turkish: lalanga[1]) is a Hungarian food speciality, a deep fried dough. It is also traditionally made in Vojvodina, Serbia, where it was introduced by the local Hungarians.

The dough for lángos is made of water or milk and flour, yeast, sugar and salt. Adding sour cream, yoghurt or mashed potatoes to the dough is optional, in the latter case it is called potato lángos (in Hungarian krumplis lángos). It is eaten fresh and warm, topped with sour cream and grated cheese, or Liptauer, ham, or sausages, or most frequently, without toppings, just rubbed with garlic or garlic butter, or doused with garlic water. Other ingredients and accompaniments can be mushroom, quark cheese, eggplant, cabbage, kefir, omelet, and a confectioner's sugar or jam. - Wikipedia

Mind was equal to blown. I didn't take one with the most traditional toppings, but the tzatsiki, ham and onions. If you ever get the chance to eat this piece of heaven, please do. You're welcome.
