What kind of Berlin eater are you?

Where do you shop for groceries?

D) Let me check this week’s Supermarkt flyers to see what’s on sale... ◆

Your biggest food-related peeve?

B) When cashiers ignore my stainless-steel bento and throw my veggie stir-fry in an ocean-killing plastic box. ●

C) Lattes made with soy milk instead of oat milk. Soy causes cancer! ■

D) When I order a currywurst only to find out it’s vegan. WTF? ◆

What do you order at the bar?

How do you like your bananas?

B) Wild boar tartare and house-made pickles at the just-opened Otto. ▲

C) An orgy of salads, bowls and summer rolls at 1990 Vegan Living. ■

Which workshop strikes your fancy?

A) A culinary evening with ZoomFresh, where I can learn Korean home-cooking and exchange tips with my new foodie friends. ▲

C) Christmas Baking at Goldhahn & Sampson, so I can get a jump on this year’s batch of cookies before my neighbour Mechthild outdoes me again. ◆

D) An urban permaculture course with CityPlot – learning how to upend our unsustainable industrial farming system is well worth the €300. ●

Choose a new food app!

A) Too Good To Go. Rescue food waste from local restaurants and get a cheap meal – love it! ●

Your favourite museum food?

A) Café Babette at Kindl, where I can indulge in a raw, vegan, gluten-free slice of chocolate cake. ■

B) At Gropius Bau’s Beba they grow their greens in-house, right in the dining room – how cool is that? ●
