Germany
Gherkins have been enjoying a revival ever since their cameo role in the film Good Bye, Lenin! (Get them from one of Berlin’s numerous outdoor markets or in the food hall of KaDeWe, West Berlin’s answer to Harrods.)
KaDeWe, Tauentzienstrasse 21-24; Nearest S and U-Bahn: Zoologischer Garten
The Germans do coffee very well. On sale everywhere (but bear in mind German shops often close on Saturday afternoons and don’t reopen until Monday).
