Bavaria’s Prime Minister Markus Söder (CSU) has revealed his culinary preferences. This includes the capital’s classic Berliner Weisse with a kick – and specifically the woodruff taste, as he told the broadcaster “Antenne Bayern” in Munich today.
“That’s really the best thing about Berlin.” He doesn’t drink alcohol otherwise, just a sip from a beer mug at events. But there is often alcohol-free beer in there.
Otherwise, Söder prefers regional cuisine from home: “As a Franconian, I’m particularly happy about the regional food – Schäufele, bratwurst or asparagus in spring and gingerbread in winter,” he said. Sometimes he gets blood sausages from Lower Bavaria as a gift: “Even if that’s not imaginable for everyone: I have to admit, they taste very good.” He tried to be vegan for a few hours, but: “I just can’t do it.”
