HOW WE ATE IN THE DDR:

What is the difference between a "broiler" and a small hen? Why is it called so "over there"? And how did it make it past the Iron Curtain into the stomachs of the Genossen? And what were those comrades thinking of with the names "Ketwurst" and "Grilletta"? Why was the coffee-mix popularly known as "Erichs Kroenung"? A matter of state security? And why did the best bananas go to the politicians and the monkeys in the zoos? This DVD answers such burning questions and other delicate BRD-DDR questions (or should that be "delicatessen?"). The authorities of the DDR were only somewhat successful in providing full tables for its citizens; but somehow, the simple people in East Germany always seemed to know where to go to get food and when. Or if even certain foods could be had: like tropical fruit and real coffee, for example: real rarities. In this DVD, people from all walks of life remember what food was like through four generations of socialism on German soil. How did they eat? Or did "social equality" exist only in talk, with the hungry socialist man looking yearningly to the Golden West for that Weissewurst and Beer?

129 minutes long. Very good quality.
