Goldhahn and Sampson also had reason to celebrate.

The Financial Times has included Goldhahn and Sampson in its top 50 most popular food stores worldwide:

" The 50 Greatest Food Stores in the World "

The 50 best grocery stores in the world. Where to find the world's best products, from classic New York delis to Indian spice shops to German sausage shops.

Here is the Financial Times' explanation: note our "... Habanero Chili Paste from Belize....."

Northeast Berlin is teeming with pasta, pickles, canned goods, canned fish, and bottled sauces (Hellmann's mayonnaise and Colman's mustard are also welcome). There are Caribbean spices, Jersey cow's milk cheese, Arctic sea salt, bottles of sake, and habanero chili paste from Belize. Arabica coffee is also a big deal here, and there's a well-stocked cookbook store with a Chesterfield armchair. There's a second branch across town in Charlottenburg.

The Goldhahn and Sampson branches are located in Berlin-Prenzlauer Berg and Berlin-Charlottenburg.
