Tor or gate? This is a door. One of the most famous doors in the World. But is it a door? The Branderburger Tor is a gate of course. But who cares? Germans don’t have humor. They say so themselve 🙂 So for this occasion the Brandenburger Tor is nothing more than a oversized door….

Ik doe geen concessies: het moet een origineel recept zijn, bij mij geen bol uit de Allerhande of Jumbo blaadjes. Nu ben ik een verzamelaar van kookboeken – wat niet…
