Especially because in Berlin they are known as "Krapfen" and not as Berliner.
- zorked 4y agoPfannkuchen in Berlin not Krapfen, I think?
- culturestate 4y agoThat's what someone who grew up in Berlin would probably say, but the city being what it is it genuinely depends on which shop you're standing in. I've seen it every which way.
- ff10 4y agoYes, Pfannkuchen is the name used in Berlin.
- ben_w 4y agoI've seen them sold here in Berlin under the names "Pfannkuchen" (not to be confused with pancakes), "Krapfen" (not as rude as it sounds in English), "Amerikaner" (not to be confused with an oversized iced soft cookie), and "Berliner" (not to be confused with the alcohol). Sometimes they're even sold as "Donut".
- senand 4y agoIndeed, Pfannkuchen in Berlin
- fileeditview 4y agoBuying a Berliner in Germany can be very challenging if you travel a lot. There are so many words for it depending on the region. At least: "Berliner", "Krapfen", "Pfannkuchen", "Kräppel", "Küchli" and probably others I don't know..
- cratermoon 4y agoTry buying a hogie, sub, hero, Italian, grinder, wedge, or spuckie in the US.

- soiler 4y agoFor all its faults, we can thank Subway for partially solving this problem.
- throwanem 4y agoSpuckie?
- superhuzza 4y agoApparently from spucadella, an italian-american word for a type of bread.
- cratermoon 4y agoI've never heard anyone use it myself, but then I've never tried to order the sandwich otherwise known as a sub in the parts of the country where that name is used.
- grogenaut 4y agoWedge will get you a salad most places in the us. Hero might get you a gyro or ask for clarification. Grinders seem specities in much of the us.
- licebmi__at__ 4y agoWeird, I always have seen them in my nearest Rewe advertised as “Berliner”. Never thought it was a problem in other stores.
- saalweachter 4y agoHas anyone made a map, like they do for eg soda/pop in the US?
