This week at work has been a particularly good week in terms
of food. It started off with a double birthday on Tuesday, meaning birthday
morning tea. We were treated to mini burgers from one of the birthday people
and chocolate slice from the other. They were both delicious and there was
quite a few absentees that day so there was plenty to go around.

Later on Friday there was another birthday, this time it was
celebrated by chocolate cheesecake and some other chocolate type cake. I only
had the cheesecake this time. Also on Friday was a special ‘Friday night drinks’.
This week it was German/Austrian themed. The catering was organised by an
Austrian guy who works with me. He organised German sausages with mustard mayonnaise
and curry powder. Apparently, curried sausages are all the rage in Berlin. He
also got in a mini keg of Krombacher, and some other German beers that I could
not pronounce. It was a great change to the regular chips and dip. To go with
the sausages and beer there was French fries (apparently it’s traditional). But
un-traditionally we got the fries from the Burger King across the road. I didn’t
complain because BK is awesome and it only added to the awesomeness of the
over-abundance of sausages and semi-exotic beer (semi-exotic as in not the
Steinlager we normally get).
It was a good week on the food front and helped as a good
distraction to the lack of invites that we have been receiving to free food
events.
