Königsberger Klopse, Buletten, Sol-Eier, Hackepeter, Kartoffelsalat, Blut- und Leberwurst, Kartoffelpuffer as well as Rollmops are still very popular.
The Brandenburg cuisine complements the above programme with some specialities such as Spreewälder Gurken, Beelitzer Spargel and Teltower Rübchen. Kitchen classics are also boiled potatoes with quark and linseed oil, fish from the numerous lakes and the Fürst-Pückler ice cream.
