Goldhahn Giggles
Apropos of nothing much but what’s in my inbox this morning. The kids over at Goldhahn and Sampson (Dunckerstr. 9, Heimholtzplatz) have a newsletter that’s sent out about as often as it snows in this town, but just like that snow, it’s guaranteed to make you giggle a bit. This morning the team is struggling with a pack of imported samosas, which like so many imported products to the EU (or anywhere, I suppose) has operating instructions garbled in at least five languages. It’s Engrish goes to Deutschland, by way of Italy. Makes you want to be a fly on the wall in the marketing department in Kerala. Check it out.

My favorite is still the Thai restaurant in Friedrichshain who printed their menu with German on one side and English on the other. Before the main courses, the heading on the German side said “THAILÄNDISCHE GERICHTE”. The English translation on the facing page said “THAI COURTS”.
