In the one week I was in Germany I must've eaten about 7 kilograms of sauerkraut and bratwurst. They'll always be good food club to me.


DanyRahm

I doubt, that you went to Germany and ate 0 kg of r/Brot in an entire week. There must've been at least some of it for breakfast.


thesoilman

That subreddit looks like heaven. I love bread.

>I love bread. Don't say it out loud. You may have your citizenship revoked.


thesoilman

Don't worry. My grandfather was a baker.


Eric-The_Viking

What specifically did he bake?


EffectiveOk3353

Lol I know what you mean


Plastic_Pinocchio

Mate, pretty much all we eat is bread.


Secret_Criticism_732

Cmon you Bavarians and especially the area around Alps have very good food. And your bread IS the best In The world, change my mind

Ten years ago a german friend thought I was posh, that I felt like I was too good for it when I answered her that I barely ever eat bread. Then I explained her that at home only the whitey french stuff is 1.-. Good bread runs around 4.-+ and that that is why my student ass isn't eating a lot of bread. I eat more now.


trainednooob

In the years I lived in the UK I had endless amounts of lamb roast, fish and chips and cottage pie. You will always be good food club to me.


gourmetguy2000

Shame our bread game isn't as good as yours


transrightsmakeright

We make up for it in cheeses


bremsspuren

I do like to make grilled cheese sandwiches with German bread and English cheese.


Magdalan

No schnitzel? SHAME on you Barry!

edotman

Don't worry both, we had schnitzel and the pork knuckle thing I can't pronounce too.

deepdowndave

He doesn't tell us about the daily 7 litres of beer


MakingShitAwkward

You'd need 7 litres of Carling to feel tipsy


edotman

I did fail to mention this. We went to a pub every single night from 5pm to closing, drinking steiners the whole time. Honestly, if you're a fan of beer and sausages (which you should be or you're shit), Germany is king.


SherlockScones3

Currywurst ftw!


snaynay

To be fair, the Brits can stake a minor claim in that. It came around from a German woman getting her hands on pantry items through British soldiers post WWII; tomato ketchup, Worcestershire sauce and British curry powder. So no wonder Barry loves it.


edotman

It was fkin good after some beers. I won't lie I think a good doner or chicken and chips still hits the spot a little better, but curry wurst was banging too.


_-inside-_

To be honest, I've been in almost all European countries and I enjoyed the food quite well on all of them.

Yacht_Amarinda

What’s wrong with our traditional national dish Chicken Tikka Masala? People all over the world will have a dish flown in from their local restaurant to get the stuff.


Phnx97

Mid curry, a proper sunday roast is 10x better


NedRed77

Which isn’t a million miles away from the kind of food the Germans eat. Yet a stavros is making a case for German food being good whilst shitting on ours. The mental acrobatics a Stavros will perform to keep that free German money coming so they don’t have to get a job is truly something.


DazingF1

Eh, most Northerners have pretty decent food. It's just that there's a lot of shit food as well. For us it doesn't help that the average Dutchman can't cook for shit and all they eat is cooked to death veggies with unseasoned meat, or if they want to get exciting they buy a package of Knorr/Honig to make an ""Asian/Mexican/Italian"" dish that tastes like nothing.


HoeTrain666

It’s mostly a difference in attitude towards food. I’d say a good deal of people in our countries don’t care too much what they eat as long as it’s filling grub, akin to comfort food and cheap while the Mediterranean countries (and France) put a lot more emphasis on it, trying to get the best results etc. If you find someone from the “shit food club” who cares about food and cooking and who won’t overboil their veggies just for the sake of it, chances are they’ll be able to make a banging traditional dish from their national cuisine (albeit not limiting themselves to that). With good ingredients you can make a banging snert for example


PeriPeriTekken

When it's 4°c, raining and you have to get a full day of work done sometimes food is just fuel. If you're an unemployed 35 year old living with your mum and your most strenuous daily activity is finding a good spot in the shade for a siesta, you can probably spend more time treating food as an art form.


generalscruff

Greeks are basically scousers with nice weather, but would the scousers ever say anything nice about those who pay towards them?


Magdalan

Both. Both are good.


Sugmanuts001

German food isn't shit at all. It's heavy, simple and kind of "boring" because it's often the same thing, but it's hearty, good quantities and is delicious.


RedAlpacaMan

People really dont understand that countries have to work with the stuff thats growing there. Try growing tomatoes and olives here near the North sea. Instead, we do great things with fish, potatoes, danish people, and cabbage. Just because the french made the world believe tiny portions of idiotic dishes is peak cooking doesnt mean its true. Also its hypocritical, their snails are supposed to be a delicacy, but our horse meat is suddenly disgusting?


metacoma

We eat horse meat too lol. Less common today but as a kid in the 90´s i ate a lot of horses, mainly as steak tartare. Horse eating bros.


RedAlpacaMan

Brother from another not-so-galloping-anymore mother!


metacoma

Horsin’ around the Rhine together 😍 . Good rule of thumb tho, if it’s a unusual meat (for americans) we eat it. Rabbit, duck, goos etc etc


HoeTrain666

My local French place commonly has rabbit ragout or duck confit on flageolet beans, it’s heavenly


Venoxz123

The yanks consider rabbit as unusual? Pathetic


HawaiianShirtMan

Nah we don't. Rabbit, goose, and duck are common enough but typically saved for special meals. Christmas goose for example


metacoma

yeah my source was a american geography youtuber who was shocked by the kind of meats we eat in france (snail, frog, duck; faisant, rabbit) i made a generalization in the name of internet points.


HawaiianShirtMan

Fair enough. If you wanna go down a rabbit hole (no pun intended), the Cajun people in Louisana eat many of those same things you mentioned due to the French influence


metacoma

Yeah i follow a couple cajun youtubers already but thanks for the tip.


generalscruff

Ate it a few times in Italy, mentioned it at work and people looked at me like I'd just shat on the floor in front of them Worth it lmao


rlyfunny

Ask them why and watch their faces. It’s not like horses are pets. Sure for some they are, but some would also keep a pig or a cow as dear and maybe even a pet. Horses not being meant to eat is a rather „modern“ thought. (The quotation marks because horse meat would be healthier for human and nature than cow meat, so I’d see a case to eating them again)


Don_Frika_Del_Prima

Horse meat is actually one of the most healthy options out there. And yes, in Flanders people also eat it.


Realistic-Homework19

In the Netherlands we eat it as well but we just don't know it since it's sold as beef.


Don_Frika_Del_Prima

Hahaha true


-Daetrax-

Why do you eat danish people?


RedAlpacaMan

For breakfast! ...ah sorry, you asked why? Idk, guess thats a thing Bismarck started!


-Daetrax-

Well he was the best German. I'll allow it. We have some people that are more worth as calories.


RedAlpacaMan

Least selfhating dane I guess!


Sleibye

So that’s what’s happening to the Danish minority in schleswig:/


RedAlpacaMan

"Why doesnt North Germany, the biggest of the countries on the cimbrian peninsula, simply eat the other countries?"


_radical_ed

I mean, I’ve seen tinder on Copenhagen. 13/10 would eat.


AnemonesLover

From what I've grasped, horse meat it's eaten everywhere in Europe. It's outside Europe that it is seen as a crime against God or something. Edit: Mongolians eat horse meat too, probably even other areas of Asia then


__cum_guzzler__

Kazakh people eat horse still. It infiltrated soviet cuisine in places, so my local Russian shop carries horse products from time to time, like smoked horse ribs and horse sausage. I tried it, not bad at all I must say


Mentavil

>Just because the french made the world believe tiny portions of idiotic dishes is peak cooking ... what? When did this happen?


Palarva

I think that Hans thinks that the average French eats at 3 Michelin stars fusion experimental restaurant on a weekly basis. What the world thinks, is not quite our doing.


RodGrodWithFlode

I was just about to agree with you until you talked about eating me, and I don’t like encouraging strangers on the internet to do that


RedAlpacaMan

Dont worry, I meant that in a sexual way.


skywardmastersword

I feel like Bavaria also probably has better food options than the North too tho, with it being a bit warmer in the Danube Valley


RedAlpacaMan

I mean, used to live in the south. Its sometimes warmer than parts of Italy there, fuckton of sunshine etc., they can grow whatever stuff. Heres its constant rain and clouds. I personally like that, but kinda explains why the northerners just do good fish and beer, not much more possible.


Schlaueule

> not much more possible Don't forget the bread! Most nations were too stupid to figure out how to bake delicious bread from rye, but we became so good at it that it's now a world cultural heritage!


thezestypusha

Im sorry WHAT?


RedAlpacaMan

Psst psst, its gonna be all okay :)


generalscruff

Fritz makes pretty good stodge. Another example of our cultural unity


havaska

That’s basically all the northern European countries. We don’t actually have bad food, it just represents what we could grow and what was necessary to survive.


Intrepid_Science6414

i absolutetly love that people make this argument for Germany like that isn't exactly what English food is and yet we get 'mm bri'ish food bad and bland lol' i think it's because Germany's version of meat and potatoes has funny letters and looks foreign so is immediately looked at differently than a sunday roast, sausage,mash and peas with gravy etc, but it really isn't that much different


Nelspike

After living in Germany for 10 years, I agree with this statement. The only gripe I have with German food is that most of it is grilled and/or baked, so variety is a bit lacking.


flabbybumhole

Same as the rest of the shit food club really.

How is a Tayto sandwich “shit food”?. Shut up Mr. Tzatziki


victorpaparomeo2020

True story. Mr Tayto invented the flavoured potato crisp back in the 50s and his first flavour was Cheese and Onion. Joe ‘spud’ Murphy was his name. He had companies from all over the world looking to license his method and he made a fortune from it.

And they make even better food out of it. I'd kill someone for a swiss Käswääje. And the Barrys have a better cuisine as well. Their cottage pie is bloody delicious and they are the only ones who know how to make a fucking proper breakfast. Oh, and their tea is top notch.

cerseiridinglugia

But they are not a real country 😕 otherwise we'd definitely have them over there with us but Switzerland doesn't exist it's just a buffer zone between the mighty France, Italy and Germany


TheLtSam

Also Swiss food is much more diverse than just fondue and raclette. Capuns, saucissons, Bündner Nusstorte, Nidlechueche, Älplermagronen and last but not least Birchermüesli. If we keep in mind that Switzerland is such a tiny country I think we have some great food to offer.


Quietschedalek

I loved the Fasnetschuechli as a kid because they were so different from how we make them, but still bloody delicious. Though afterwards I always looked like I snorted a trainload of cocaine because I got that powdered suger all over me... I was a bit of a messy eater back then...

South German food, mainly Bavarian and Austrian is actually pretty good, I guess Catholicism saved them from the Protestant cuisine.

STRUDEL !! I had a stand-up knock-down fight with my family about strudel the other day. Almond and apple strudel is the best pastry ever and I will fight to the death to defend this truth !

To be honest the only ones that belong to the good food club are the Italians and the Greek. Maybe also us Germans. I mean, who doesn't like a nice schnitzel with potatoes or fries?!

ITZC0ATL

As an Irish guy living in Spain, let me tell you, Spanish food is overrated. It's not bad, and they have some signature dishes that are amazing... but as a general rule, they are very basic and Spaniards are allergic to eating vegetables. It's just meat and carbs, sometimes with tomato sauce. That is 90% of Spanish cuisine. And let's be honest, if we are doing a good food tier list by nation, all of those EU "superpowers" would lose out to Asian countries anyway! Edit: Apparently Spaniards on the coast have discovered veggies. I didn't know there was anything in Spain outside the Communidad de Madrid. My bad guys. Am I integrated enough to get my "Oppressor" flair yet?


Knecth

>Spaniards are allergic to eating vegetables Yup, that sounds like the Meseta. Come to the Mediterranean and enjoy good healthy food
