What the tool shows

At a Berlin Imbiss the questions come fast and in German: mit oder ohne Darm, normal oder scharf, Pommes or a roll, here or to go. This card lets you make those choices before you reach the counter. It draws the tray you will get and writes the full German sentence to say, with the English beside it.

How to use it

  • Pick the sausage: ohne Darm, the soft skinless Berlin original, mit Darm with a casing that snaps, or vegan.

  • Choose sliced or whole, slide the heat from house normal to extra hot with chilli flakes, and pick the side.

  • Read the sentence off the dark card in the queue, and check the note for the question that usually comes back.

Where the facts come from

The stand details come from the stands' own sites, checked on 15 November 2026: Curry 36 on mit and ohne Darm, house heat and Pommes rot-weiss, Konnopke's on serving only ohne Darm and its opening days. Each stand labels its own heat levels, so treat the heat words as what Berlin counters usually understand.
