    The word has 2 meanings, but don't be told you couldn't call a Berlin person a Berliner. It is absolutely fine, no joke.

        I have friends with ancestry from East Prussia, the Sudets and the like. No resentments there, it's their grand parents who are bitter people

          Yeah, but this is a Pfannkuchen. Those who call it a Berliner are just wrong *ducks*

            My father-side grandma was displaced from East Prussia after WWII. She and my father (9 years old at this time) went all the way from Königsberg to Leipzig on their feet.

              Check into wiki for Pfannkuchen. You'll get linked to what real people call Eierkuchen, this stuff on the picture being titled Berliner Pfannkuchen. It's Westlies!

                Was that an olympic discipline at the time?

                    That was in response to Speer who has now withdrawn his funny assumptions.
                    well actually, the Prussians (the original ones, not the Teutonic Order Germans) were a Baltic people related to the Lithuanians.

                        Speer - are modern states defined by vague assumptions on the distribution of ethnics in prehistoric times?

                          Do any young Germans dream of pushing the borders back to pre 1914 anymore? If I was a young German it would be in some corner of my mind.

                            All of us dream of it secretly but we don't say it openly

                              Some do, but most don't since they know what it would mean.

                                I am all for re-founding the Holy Roman Empire with borders from Barbarossas best times. This would make us football WC winners now.
