Berliner
Hoppel Poppel
Hoppel Poppel is a traditional way to use up leftovers in Berlin. Made with meat, potatoes, onions, and eggs, it's a great lunch or supper.
This used to be one of my favorite lunches to come home to during my school days. Quick and easy to make, yet never quite the same as the last time. It all depended on what type of leftover meat Mom used. Sometimes, instead of using the eggs, Mom would put leftover gravy over the potatoes and continue frying till everything was hot.
