With the Easter behind us, Dili and Nic catch each other up on a weekend of family dinners, spicy cakes, and whirlwind trips to the UK. We chat about Easter gifts, spoiled kids, and lethal leftovers. We ask why Germans are avoiding the UK, and we tackle the issue of why Germany seems so backward when it comes to the topic of abortion.
Following a busy weekend, we discuss family birthdays, baking cakes for Germans, and the perfect party goodie bag. The release of the InterNations Expat Survey leads to a discussion on whether expats are a trustworthy source, and what the results tells us about Germany. We also look at the climate referendum in Berlin, and finish on the “Megastreiktag” that shutdown transport across the country.
Dili discusses her true passion for cake, the merits of jelly, the power of Bienenstich, and why a bad cake can still be a good cake. Nic and his daughter enter the lion’s den of a Kinder Faschingsparty, we discuss the recent Berlin election results, creative ways to take revenge on critics, and plans from Leipzig to make companies pay their employees to sleep at work.
This week Simon & Nic discuss German food, specifically sandwiches, Kebabs and cake. We search for Danish bacon in Germany and ask why is it that German sandwiches leave so many people disappointed? Simon reminisces about drunken kebab adventures in Cardiff and campaigns forcefully for high quality lunch-time Kebabs. Finally we talk cake and what the German tradition of Kaffee und Kuchen has in common with the very English afternoon high tea.
