    • 2019 September 4, Guido Schirmeyer, “Das West-Berliner Café Mitropa wird 40: Die Tage und Nächte der Achtziger”, in Die Tageszeitung: taz, →ISSN:
      Wim Wenders, die Einstürzenden Neubauten, Malaria und viele mehr schlürften im Mitropa ihren Milchkaffee, viele Berliner Szenegrößen von morgen stärkten sich hier mit einem Katerfrühstück.

Usage notes

  • The meal can of course consist of any food the drinker craves. However, foodstuffs that are sour and/or high in fat/protein are widely believed to be particularly effective. Therefore, pickled herring (rollmops), which combines both of these features, is the prototypical Katerfrühstück food.
