As the eyes of the world turn towards London for the Queen Elizabeth the Seconds Diamond Jubilee and the 2012 Olympics, British cooking is gaining appreciation. In the German capital, of all places.
A typical full English breakfast, frying away on the griddle.
All over Britain people tuck in to this hearty meal in the morning, at lunch, even for dinner.
But this is not London, Birmingham or Brighton.
This breakfast is served up in the shadow of the Berlin TV tower in the German capitals trendy Kreuzberg district.
The restaurant is called East London. Only a year old, its a regular haunt for both expat Brits and local fans of British cooking.
That may come as a surprise to some as British cuisine is not known here for its merits.
Chef Benn Hayes thinks he knows why.
Benn Hayes says, We have a lot of fried stuff in England. The fried Mars bar probably doesnt help the rep (reputation). You know, putting chocolate in a fryer. That doesnt help.
But British restaurants abroad are getting a boost from the Queens Diamond Jubilee celebrations and the 2012 Olympics.
At Hudsons cafe in Berlin, owners Jim and Katie Hudson have already witnessed an increased interest in British cooking and baking.
The Londoners moved to Berlin on a short-term basis while taking sabbatical leave. Five years later they are still here.
A year after their cafes opening, its become famous for its British cakes and scones.
Both Hudsons and East London have planned special events to coincide with the Diamond Jubilee celebrations. They are also expecting large crowds of expats and Germans to show up during the Olympics.
