A Berliner is a jam filled donut topped with powdered sugar. My sweet tooth wanted it. Bad.
There is a story told often in Berlin about John F. Kennedy's visit to Germany when he finished a speech off with the words, "Ich bin ein Berliner" which translates to "I am a jelly donut."
So I hunted for a bakery and found one while exiting the underground. "One Berliner, Please." I hurriedly walked back to my hotel so I could eat my treat. It was in my belly within two minutes. Yum Yum, but I still prefer a regular chocolate glazed donut.
Oh, and trust me JFK, I felt like a Jelly Donut after eating it.
