In the Theodor Fontane poem "Nick Ribbeck of Ribbeck of Havelland" ("Herr von Ribbeck auf Ribbeck im Havelland"), the main character gives away the fruits of a pear tree to children and travellers. This pear tree has become the symbol of Brandenburg cuisine. Pike cooked in the Spree Forest style and fried perch from the Havel river, mutton with onions in a horseradish sauce and cucumber soup with salted ribs provide an epicurean journey through the region's cuisine.Kastanienhof Elstal
