Welcome back to the life of Kari and Janusz.
It is twelve o'clock.
Janusz just got up.
An hour ago.
Now he has already showered and left the house.
What do you need next?
A coffee first.
We need a coffee and a delicious breakfast now.
For this we go to the bakery Shokoshino and show you what a bakery looks like in Berlin
.
Go!
Now we are in the bakery and Janusz is looking at what he wants to eat for breakfast.
Janusz, what would you like to eat for breakfast?
We lived here and I ordered my breakfast here for years.
That's right.
Yes, and that's why I practiced well.
Good morning.
Good morning first, exactly.
And then I would like a cappuccino.
Small or large?
Large.
Would you like to take it with you or drink it here?
To drink here.
And then I would like half a bun with egg.
With fried eggs?
No, with boiled egg.
And then I would like this croissant with cheese.
This one?
Yes.
With Gouda cheese.
And then I would like a pot with couscous salad.
Now Janusz is sitting at the table and eating his breakfast.
This is a cappuccino.
Tasty?
Super tasty.
A bun with egg and a croissant.
The croissant with cheese, tomato, cucumber and a salad leaf.
How long have you been eating croissants?
Super rare, but today I felt like it.
Try it.
Not so easy to eat, the bun.
Super tasty.
While Janusz is eating, let's see what else is delicious in the bakery.
I'll show you what's in the bakery.
The most important thing, normal rolls, or in Berlin the schrippe.
In Bavaria they say the semmel.
In all German cities it's called differently.
Then, very important, a Körnerbrötchen.
There are many different ones in Germany.
Dinkelbrötchen, Schusterjunge, Weltmeister, they have many different names.
Very popular in Germany, pretzels and laugengebäck.
The laugenstange, the laugenbrötchen and the laugenstange with cheese.
Janusz is back at the counter and thinks about ordering something sweet.
Cake is very popular here, Janusz.
There is walnut cake, carrot cake, strawberry cake,
walnut chocolate cake, plum cake, cheese cake.
Apple cake.
And what aroused your interest?
I can't decide.
It's really the agony of choice.
I know what you like.
Look, there's a piece of mooncake here.
Super delicious, yes.
But I've actually already decided.
And I want a piece of plum cake.
Plum cake, very tasty and very popular in Germany.
Do you often eat cake?
Since I've been watching my lines, not.
But there are actually a lot of people who eat in the afternoon,
at three or four they drink coffee and eat cake.
Yes, especially in Germany, that's literally.
Yes.
This coffee and cake.
And I think if you're a pensioner or a pensioner,
then you have time.
My parents often do that now.
Yes, super cozy, great.
Soon it will be your turn, Janusz.
What do you mean soon?
The time is already there.
I will be 65 this year in March, if anyone is interested.
If anyone is interested.
Okay, Janusz, are you ready to order?
Always ready.
I would like a piece of the plum cake.
Plum cake, of course.
So, then you get a nice plum cake.
Do you want to eat it here?
Eat here, please, yes.
Do you also want a napkin?
Yes, you can always use it well, you.
And so that it gets really cozy,
I'm going to buy a newspaper now.
Well, of course.
So, daytime mirror.
Gladly.
Super.
Heider, I have a gluten intolerance.
Can you offer me something too?
Of course.
I have a gluten-free almond cake.
Delicious.
Okay, then I'll take an almond cake and a scrambled egg.
Is there milk in the scrambled egg?
I also have a lactose intolerance.
No, there are only eggs in our scrambled eggs.
Great, I'll take a scrambled egg with ham and the almond cake.
Gladly.
Janusz reads a newspaper.
Janusz, what are you reading?
The news about Berlin, for example.
What other news is there?
Oh, look at this here.
Easy German Discord channel.
It's really hot there.
Thank you.
Easy German Discord group?
Yes.
What is that?
There we meet with our ...
Members.
Members, yes.
And you can also join in.
We have a chat group where we write in German and you can practice German.
There are very different topics to write in German every day.
And when you get to the highest level, in the highest level, there is even a conversation
call every day.
Janusz, you are also there sometimes.
With pleasure.
We can then get to know you and practice German with you.
Take a look at this.
The Easy German membership has a lot to offer and you also support our work with it.
Haider, you are the owner of this bakery.
Exactly, I am the owner of this bakery.
What do you offer here?
Oh, we offer fresh rolls here first.
Various shapes, whether with full grain or normal strips or rolls or in Bavaria, as I said,
Semmel.
And we also offer these rolls as a packaged version, with cheese, ham,
with pate, with tomato, mozzarella or with feta cheese in various shapes.
We offer cake.
What is bought more, rolls or cake?
At the moment it is really different for us.
Rolls in the early morning and cakes are sold in the afternoon.
And how long have you been open?
We open early in the morning from 5.30 a.m.
5.30 a.m.?
Yes, we open at 5.30 a.m. and close at 6 p.m.
Okay, good that you are open for so long, otherwise Janusz could not come in here
if he sleeps until 12 o'clock.
Yes, definitely.
He has to go to bed earlier so that he can get up earlier.
And when do you have the most traffic here?
Is that for breakfast, lunch or both?
It always depends on the days of the week.
On Sunday, for example, it is usually free and we have a marketplace here.
As a result, we have a lot of tourists.
And that's why Sunday, for example, Sunday morning or noon,
is our main business hour.
Haider, here in the bakery there are a lot of typically German things,
but also a few Turkish things.
What do you have here?
Well, we don't really have that many Turkish things.
No?
No, we actually have crystals, so Turkish things.
And then we have the rye egg, a special version with rye egg sujuk,
the Turkish garlic sausage.
And then we have the Turkish lentil soup again,
the lentil soup in an oriental way.
What is that?
This is also a kisir, but we made it with a coarser bulgur rice.
What's it called?
Bulgur.
And the first word?
Kisir, exactly.
Now Janusz finally knows what it means, what he has been eating for years.
Exactly, Janusz, now you've learned something too.
Here we see one of the most popular pastries in Germany, the pretzel,
and right below that, isn't that one of the most popular in Turkey?
Exactly, in Turkey the simit is a traditional breakfast pastry, a sesame ring.
Simit.
Called simit.
Very tasty.
When you come to Berlin, you absolutely have to try both.
Is this sold in all bakeries in Berlin?
Not in all, but little by little it is spreading, yes.
We ate deliciously and now we want to pay.
We are happy about that.
So, now tell me, what did you have?
I had a croissant with cheese.
Janusz, come here.
Then a croissant with cheese, a pretzel, two rolls, a scrambled egg,
a cappuccino, a tea, another scrambled egg for the cameraman, a tea for the cameraman.
And Janusz, what was the first thing you had?
A scrambled egg with bread.
Yes, but not one, but half.
Half, right?
Half.
Half scrambled bread.
Did you have any more salads?
A bulgur couscous salad.
What's it called again?
I read the name.
Do you remember?
Impossible, I don't remember that much.
It's over in my age.
Okay.
Then we had a gluten-free cake.
Oh, I forgot the cake.
Did you have something to nibble on, Janusz?
Yes, plum cake.
Plum cake.
Forgot half of it again.
That's it now.
Then we have 34 euros and 60 cents.
Can you pay with a card?
Yes, you can.
I pay cash, because in most bakeries in Germany you can only pay cash, right?
With us, this is only possible from 5 euros.
Okay, out.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Thank you very much.
Feel free to make 40.
Thank you very much.
Then there's 10 euros back.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
You too.
Thank you.
