Nobody in their right mind uses words like "Palatschinken", "Paradeiser", "Piefke" or "Schlagobers".

People who say Krapfen should be in prison

[–] lugal@sopuli.xyz 1 points 6 months ago

True. It's Kreppel, obviously

[–] arlaerion@lemmy.ml 1 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Yeah, it's pronounced ['krapfə']. Written something like Krapfo.

Paradeiser

I believe they called them that because the first people to try them liked them so much, they thought they were in paradise.

PARADEISER DEEZ NUTZ! (I'm sorry, not sorry)

It's not about right or wrong, it's the only revenge we have against the first and second most evil empires to ever exist.
