Disclosure: I haven't made these yet, but I just had them this evening at a cookout/BBQ in Frankfurt. And they were AWESOME. I will be making these as soon as I get back to the states. The ones in the picture below look exactly like the ones that were served to us tonight, so I suspect that the spice mix is the exact same one as well. They were served slightly charred, and they were one of the best things I have tried in living memory. I don't know of any "German Street Food", but this should be it!
