Netto Marken-Discount: Mystery Meat?

that netto is hit or miss with stuff like that. the one near me in neukölln has a similar package sometimes and i asked the cashier about it once. she said it's usually a mix of pork and beef from the morning prep, ground together. i grabbed it for a lazy shepherd's pie and it was fine, just needed a lot of seasoning. the fat content is the real gamble though, some batches are like 30% grease. if you're not in the mood to drain a pan of liquid fat, skip it

i've seen that pack at the netto near alexanderplatz. it's usually the stuff that didn't sell by the use-by date, re-ground and priced to move. i bought it once for a gulasch and it was fine, just really fatty. you'll want to skim a lot of grease off. not worth it for a steak but for a slow cook it's whatever

the one near hermannplatz has that too. it's basically the scrap grind like the other person said, but i've noticed it's usually fine if you cook it the same day you buy it. leaving it in the fridge overnight gives it a weird smell that's not worth dealing with. i use it for currywurst sauce at home, heavy on the curry powder and ketchup, you can't really tell what you're eating anyway

Worth noting that Berlin street names have official umlaut and ß rules that trip people up, so a sign showing "Strasse" versus "Straße" is not actually a spelling error, just an older transcription. Same with "ue" versus "ü" (e.g. "Kantstrasse" vs "Kantstraße"), both are considered valid renderings and you'll see the ß version on the blue Schilder and the ss version on older plaques or in databases that predate Unicode. If the difference you're seeing is between those two forms, there's nothing to fix and both are technically correct.

if the signs u mean are the old enamel ones on the house facades those are often protected as Baudenkmal so nobody's allowed to correct them even if the spelling is outdated. the binding version is whatever is in the Berliner Strassenverzeichnis plus the entry in the Liegenschaftskataster, so if u tell me the street i can point u to the right Bezirksamt Mitte or Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf page. tbh the merged district thing is real but the facade signs are a separate story, theyre basically museum pieces at this point

honestly thats super common in Charlottenburg, the district offices were merged from older Bezirke and nobody ever fixed all the Schilder. if its a real street you can check the official strassenverzeichnis on berlin.de, that list is what the Burgeramt actually goes by. which street is it? some of the Kaiserdamm / Kantstrasse signs are notorious for this.
