Von Trapp
To start with, the Von Trapp (P450) meaty sandwich was named after the popular musical, “Sound of Music” which was shot in Bavaria. The toppings added such as Bavarian beans sausage topped with Gouda cheese, bell pepper and onions are a must taste.
Beethoven
Another choice is the Beethoven (P450), a predominant musical figure in Germany will serenade you with its harmony of flavors and textures that includes pulled spare ribs, onions, and gherkins drenched with their Jagermeister sauce. It is a nice selection for meat lovers, aside from the sausage that is being served.
Angela
Meanwhile, if you are looking for something light, then the Angela (P490) is your food pal. This sandwich was named after the German Chancellor, Angela Merkel. This healthy snack comes with smoked salmon and veggies.
Top picks from the menu
The Helmut
But to kick off my list, the Helmut stood out for me. This legendary shrimp sandwich is a tribute to West Germany’s Chancellor Helmut Kahl, who paved the way to reunification with East Germany. Seeing my love for seafood, I enjoy the succulent taste of the shrimps that explodes in my mouth with every chew. The freshness of the shrimps and the added toppings included in the sandwich is just a perfect match for my taste.I loved how the generous serving of shrimps blended well with the cheesy sauce. Moreover, the crisp taste of the bread complements the ingredients in the sandwich.
The Dirk
My list would not be complete without the Dirk. The sandwich drew inspiration from the greatest German basketball player in the NBA, Dirk Nowitzki. This slightly spicy footlong currywurst that extends over the freshly baked pretzel baguette, comes with gherkins and red bell pepper as a topping is a perfect combination. The juiciness and the flavor of the sausage are way too good for meat lovers.
The Hoff
Everyone will agree with me when I say that the Hoff is one of the best-loved sandwiches from the menu. This delectable sandwich was named after the great David Hasselhoff who is popular for his television roles in Baywatch and Knight Rider. He is also known as a famous singer, producer and businessman up to this time. Aside from its thin bacon, it is also fused with crispy fried onion rings and barbecue sauce, completing my German experience.
Moreover, Brotzeit dining experience would not be complete without drinks, so the place also serves beverages where you can partner your food with specially made gin and tonics. It is found in the Ginstronomy station where you can request the bartender to make a tasteful mixture for you.
Surely, with the wonderful and new offers of Breadtime Sandwiches by Brotzeit, you wouldn’t want to miss a chance to come, take a bite and make your dining experience truly spectacular. It is your perfect buddy for any occasion and milestones in life.
