Berlin Beamtenstippe
Civil servants’ sauce is not an invention of modern times. Stippe is a sauce in which you can “dip” something. It was a poor people’s meal and at the end of the month this dish was also served to officials. Used food scraps were used to cook this sauce. This was accompanied by squashed potatoes with hot buttermilk and a little butter.
This sauce is also offered in the Berlin area and partly in Northern Germany. But today with higher quality ingredients like ground beef.
