Also german food is not that dire. What's wrong with minced pork sandwiches, kale stew and breaded sausage?

What happened to everywhere on the planet apart from Germany to make bread so dire?
I could eat different German breads every day for a week, and not be bored.
Tiger bread slander.
And Schnitzel, I love a good Schnitzel!
Plus Sauerkraut is the most versatile and delicious thing ever.
Germans couldn't cook Schnitzel if their live would depend on it, and then dump a shitton of sauce on top to cover up their crimes against culinary
Where in Germany have you been?
i've worked for a German company before; Berlin, Frankfurt, Dresden, Leipzig, Hamburg to name a few known ones
That's an Austrian dish. Rule of thumb is, if it's good and German, then it's probably not German.
if it's standard food in germany nowadays how is it not german?
And what about Eisbein mit sauerkraut?
Swede here. Before we imported potatoes in the late 1700s all we had were beets. Just beets. Beets everywhere.
What did you expect.
that's not fair, we had parsnips too, which are honestly pretty alright. It's like fibrous less sweet carrots.
I supposed I expected swedes.
At least Sweden has decent fikabrรถd. The rest of the world has only almond croissants, brownies or dire travesties of kanelbullar to accompany its coffee

Well, no yummy Wienerschnitzel for you then!
People are constantly underestinating Germany. Like half the food is fried in butter and is delicious.
Just as a note: Wienerschnitzel is from Austria!
or any of a plethora of awesome sausages
This whole food thing. It's so subjective. How has it reached this stage? ๐๐
Fuck that. German food is awesome. Swedish food is awesome.
And how can you not include finland? They don't serve anything unless it is either grey or brown.
luv me 'aggis and marag gheal, 'ate me black pudding
Austrian food is pretty much enjoyable. Irish food on the other hand... ๐
I mean, steak pies are delicious.
In my opinion as a "foreigner" living in the UK the biggest problem with the British cuisine is marketing.
You have all the pies which are awesome, steak and ale, kidney pie, Toad in the hole, beef wellington, the Cornish pasties...
Then cottage and shepherd's pie which are not in the same category even though they share name, because they're not bread pies but a "potato mash lasagne".
There's the Sunday roast, and all things game are excellent - this country has a longstanding tradition of game and you often see in pubs things like venison wellington, especially in the countryside.
Also fish and chips has the reputation of being fast food, but a proper one from a pub rather than a chippie is usually excellent.
If we think about snacks, there's many really nice things typical from the UK, that we routinely dismiss because we don't think of a homemade version but what you can get from a supermarket. Sausage rolls, scotch eggs, things like that.
And desserts - this country has a sweet tooth. Trifles, anything with rhubarb in it (rhubarb is quite rare in Mediterranean countries), sticky toffee pudding, Eton mess, rice pudding, crumble...
I have missed many things like the ploughman's, all of the cheeses, or the haggis which is hated almost exclusively by people who've never tried it before.
Yet all of this gets routinely reduced to "fish and chips". It's like saying Italian cuisine is only pasta or all Spanish can make is paella. I find quite sad that Brits don't do a better job at marketing their cuisine.
Wow, well said

I like that Finland Swedes got a special mention but rest of Finland was left out
I don't think our Swiss food is so bad... Also what's the big difference between German and Czech food, it seemed pretty similar to me when I was in Brno.
But worst of all is shading Ticino the same as the North of Switzerland. Their food is just like Italian food, so you take that back right now!
Why those 2 specific small areas of Finland?
I believe this is just a map of Germanic peoples.
Thanks for pointing that out.
However it didnโt answer my question and Iโm now heading down a google rabbit hole to find out if itโs a mistake on the map or something far more historically interesting.
Edit: nothing interesting, just the territorially defined Swedish language area.
They need to add wherever it is the Franks and Normans live nowadays then.
Finland Swedes
I had freaking great food in Iceland. Not cheap, but that's not the discussion.
Why isn't cornwall shaded. Pasties?
Don't you know? Cornwall isn't in England!
Fuck you, more Pinnekjรธtt and Fรฅrikรฅl for me
Idk the only truly terrible cuisines are Asian. There are no saving graces there, apart from some Japanese food like gyoza, sushi and ramen. Pho Schmoe and spicy rice and noodles it's all just eugh, who tf wants their meat to be sweet, sugary like like candy instead of salty like it should be?
Full Welsh Breakfast adds cockles and itโs actually really great.
Obviously Scottish has lorne sausage and (often) haggis, and the Ulster fry has white pudding and farl bread. Iโm so hungry.
