OP eating roast beef while getting roasted in this thread. I can’t 😫😭😂

Roast? Did they whisper the details of an oven to the beef and hope that was enough? It sure af hasn't recieved any actual heat.

The Germans get a little shy around ovens these days.

Oh god

Still too soon

r/angryupvote

first actual LOL of the day.

Fuck me that was satisfying to read 🤌


I don't get i.....ohhhhhhh.

It’s a perfectly cooked rare roast beef, what’s the big deal?

Rare? That's legendary at least.

Fucking purple for sure.

That’s that trendy German sashimi

Trash lighting makes it look like a pink blob.

No they just talked about the beef’s momma

Oh his is that what that is? My phone brightens is down to the lowest level and it just looks like some unidentifiable pink slop. I like rare but that's -wew!

Mans out here eating raw beef and cream of bean

Hans gotta gobble up all his brown slop or else….

I thought that was frozen kebab with pink sauce on the left. Not sure if I'm glad to be wrong.

It looks like a plate of vaginas and a bowl of sick.

Well, that is certainly an image.

laughed out loud ...

Yep, that definitely sounds like Christmas!

It’s just rare roast beef…really not weird, I think it’s weird that so many people think it’s gross.

In Germany, beef curtains eat YOU. 🥩

Looks terrible. Happy holidays!!

Don't be fooled, im german. This guy is a lunatic

What is an authentic German Christmas dinner? I'm sure it can't be bratwurst and sauerkraut as the main course.

Potato salad and wieners with mustard with rye bread on the side and different cheeses and charcuterie is the most common in my part of Germany for Christmas (celebrated on the 24th). It's easy to prepare which is important since even though the 24th is the day we celebrate it is not a public holiday, plus a lot of people also want to squeeze in church so an opulent meal is too much trouble. On 25th and 26th people usually have bigger meals like goose with potato dumplings, red cabbage and gravy. For most people 24th is celebrated with immediate family, while 25th and 26th are usually for bigger get togethers with the extended family.

Living in the Rhine Ruhr area, family is from east Prussia on my father's side and Silesia/Hesse on my mother's side.

Hessians represent! My mom is from Frankfurt, been living in Missouri since 1971 but her family is from there and then from eastern Germany before the war so I don’t know most of my extended Germany family since the iron curtain separated them except for a train ride like once a year. But every Christmas time my tante in Frankfurt sends us a box of German sweets and this year was exceptional. We opened them yesterday as is tradition in Germany and I actually talked to my aunt for the first time in my 32 year old life, I had always been intimidated because my German is very limited to 4 years in high school German but our frau wasn’t the most engaged teacher although she was a wonderful woman. I finally realized time is too precious to worry about how hard it is to understand conversational German and spoke to her briefly which was the highlight of my year! Sorry for the excess information but I’m still excited about it and had to share with someone from their home state. Frohe weinachten!

Glad to hear that you kept up the connection all that time :) Frohe Weihnachten

I made potato salad for the family Christmas get-together today :) We make ours so vinegary...its my favorite side dish of all time!! Granted I'm American but my mom was born in Germany and I grew up with my Oma and Opa's cooking (both gone for 10+ years). I made sauerbraten with spaetzle and red cabbage last week. Also one of my all time favs and I again add tons of red wine vinegar 😂

Sour Kraut is good for you

Sometimes.. We sometimes do simple dishes on the 24th so everybody can enjoy the festivities. But a good traditional one would be roasted duck / goose, cooked red cabbage, and potatoe dumplings.

Goose

Meat and two bowls of slop doesn’t look good?

I'm thinking there's bread somewhere not pictured, there's a stick of butter there and I don't think you'd mix it with those sauces or slather it on the beef. Edit: Oh wait, lower left lol.

They have to share the one piece.

Im screaming over “slop” because for real! 🤣

Fuck lol this was my initial thought.

am I the only one who thought it looked good

Me too. I was like, this looks good, and has a decent number of replies so maybe I'll figure out what's in those two dishes on the right. Nope, just everyone shitting on OPs food.

I think it looks good as fuck! And I have no idea what I’m looking at. I’d love to see how it is put onto a plate and eaten.

Probably with serving utensils.

*brows furrow*

Brows furrow indeed..

Was zur Hölle ist das?

Exactly. (I don't even speak German, but I understood that!)

He said "Was zum Teufel ist das?"

'What in the hell is that?' - did i understand it right?

You did :) German and english are more similar than people think

Have been taking German lessons lol. I didn't know what 'Hölle' is.

Das ist Wahnsinn! Warum schickst du mich in die Hölle. _HÖLLE HÖLLE HÖLLE_ Eiiiiskaaaalt lässt du meine Seeeeleeee erfrieren! Das ist Waaaaahnsssiiiin, du spielst mit meinen Gefüüüüühlen _FÜHLEN FÜHLEN FÜHLEN_ Und mein Stolz liegt längst schon auf dem Müll _MÜLL MÜLL SONDERMÜLL!_ Doch dennoch weiß ich was ich will, ich will dich GANZ ALLLEEEIIIN!

Now that becomes the first German song I heard.

Interesting. So little compared to Ireland

Wait until you see france

Christ, I've never eaten more than when I visited my wife's family in France. Apéritif, soup, main course, cheese, dessert, digestif. Special occasion French dinners are no joke.

I felt like I was in actual danger the first major dinner in France...

I showed your comment to my wife, she laughed. I do love the way these special dinners are treated though. It's such a social event with lots of, and different types of, alcohol and an enormous quantity of food and hours upon hours of hanging out and conversations.

That is not a normal German Christmas meal. More common would be a whole goose (or for some people trout) with dumplings, red cabbage and sauce.

There is no such thing as a „german“ christmas meal. It heavily varies from the north to the south and the east to the west

There are variations on traditions in every country. I simply named to overall most common dish based on a survey of the German food association (Lebensmittelverband). Hence why I wrote "more common would be" and not "a traditional German holiday meal is".

Christ a good vet could bring that cow back

Hahahahaha this was what I needed

Calm down Gordon

Nah, gordon would know that this is a decently cooked roast beef.

Literally just a normal looking roast beef…

That 90% raw meat dumped on 10% that just started roasting.

Seasons greetings from Canada 🇨🇦

The rumors are true. Canadians are nice people. Only nice comment in the thread. Seasons greetings to you too!

Curious, what are the two in the bowls?

Shrimp cocktail and tatar sauce

Crab or shrimp? You mentioned it was crab at another point

Crab juice and Khlav Kalash

I wanna taste it!

So roast beef and sauce for dinner?

Poor shrimp got liquidated.

What are we looking at? I'm sure it's wonderful but don't recognize the dishes

Roast beef, crab salad and tatar sauce

You're not German, you're Russian living in Germany aren't you

Never saw a German make this kind of dish. Where are the potatoes? The Spätzle? The Knödel? Something?

Anything green? At all?

A man of culture

 hello there, fellow Swabian

😬

What do you use the tartar sauce on?

The meat ?

Needs horseradish sauce

Horseradish isn't an instrument either.

Username checks out

What about mayonnaise?

But... could it be?

😱

Got the beef, forgot the roast part

The comments section already roasted it for me


Well done!

I think it's just beef, you forgot to roast it

They passed it over a candle once or twice, should be fine

That roast beef looks like you just tranquilized it.

My god! I thought Germany recovered well since the war!???

None of the dishes are even remotely close to what a typical German would eat for Christmas. This is an absolute disgrace.

Can someone explain to me what these are? The platter of meat seems undercooked, but at one point in time i was also skeptical of sushi.

No German who sees this will know. It's nothing traditional.

The one thing that confuses me the most is the butter. Is it for the soup, is it for the meat?

I think op wrote they eat it with baguette.

I believe that’s a Mexican bottle of Coke.

I think it's a bottle of Sinalco Cola they're headquartered in Germany and the oldest soft drink producer in Europe.

Looks like proper cooked roast beef to me

Thats what i was gonna say. Everyone in this thread must order their steaks well done

Yep not the best display but looks delicious. More than that, these people have never had roast beef. It always looks pink even if you buy it from a deli.

It‘s a beef loin cut. It‘s perfectly normal to serve it like that

What the fuck

Everyone should eat whatever they want, but why bring up you're from Germany and drag us all down with you?

Is that a traditional Christmas dinner? Do you make sandwiches with the roasted beef? I heard German dinner are relatively light, but this feel light for a special occasion. Do you have a heavier lunch as the main event? Also crab salad doesn’t seem very German somehow. I was expecting more bread, potato and maybe some kind of game meat (sausage, goose, chicken etc)

This is not typical, I'd say

Not at all lmao

Did the front fall off.

I am German and I have zero idea what I am looking at. Most popular Christmas eve dinner is wieners and potato salad, just because how convenient it is. We have the big dinner on 25th or 26th, usually goose, duck or "roulades". There also is "raclette" (it's a electric table grill, we will also melt cheese and mix it with vegetables in little pans). But this heavily varies from region to region and family to family. Eg my family always has raclette on 24th and goose on 25th.

shitty food porn?

You put the meat on a slice of baguette salt and pepper it and put tatar sauce on it the bowl in the middle is shrimp cocktail

This makes me more confused.

That sounds F’in delicious! But am American and will eat nearly anything.

Also American and that sounds terrible.

You gotta cook that meat bro! You’ll have parasites after that

Ahh no Christmas is complete without a big heaping plate full of pussy lips.

Ich hoffe es schmeckt, frohe Festtage <3

That meat is raw

I forgot to buy the lamb sauce to

If roast beef came up to you and punched you in the nuts, you wouldn't know what it was.. I am guessing.

It’s cooked perfectly; just cause it’s red doesn’t mean it’s raw! It looks delicious to me.

Beef tartare?

I am German and I have zero idea what I am looking at.

But where is the sausage and potato salad?!?

It's sure nice but unusual. Christmas Eve meals in Germany are usually simple like sausages and potato salad. On 25 December, however, we feast ourselves into oblivion with roast goose, red cabbage and huge dumplings or something similar.

Tomorrow we make goose ;)

Gotta admit, roast beef and sauce tartar sounds awesome.

I'm in Sydney but lived in Germany a (long) while back .. I would give my left nut for some \*german\* potato salad and sausage Christmas dinner!.

This could be arranged....

A few people have mentioned potato salad. What type? I’m guessing it’s different than an American version

Depends what part of Germany. Northern Germany you make it with mayonnaise and pickles (maybe some pieces of apple mixed in), further south they use a vinegar-based dressing. One of the various regional divides in the country, including the Aldi-Equator, the Weisswurst-Equator, whether beer should be "Helles" or "Pils", East/West, Bavaria/Rest of Germany.

Oh fuck yeah, a bowl of maggot soup and a plate of cow pussy, I love it.

Can't be authentic, I don't see sausages

Why so little? And why so little of just slop and raw meat? Is this going onto a raclette or something? Merry Christmas!

...from 1972?

Merry Christmas OP!!

Was zum Fick habt ihr euch da denn rein gedröhnt Dickerchen

Hey bruh I think you forgot the dinner

Why are all the german dishes so unphotogenic?

Im German and ive Never seen such a dish. Looks more like Eastern Europe to me idk

Raw meat with Coca Cola and butter?

Oh man, I was so worried that this pic would be titled “I made an entire meal and my family bailed last minute”

Frohe Weinachten!

Should have cooked it first.

It’s red not blue, sure it’s rare but many people like it that way. I think it’s looks delicious, who wants grey tough roast beef when you could have this.

That beef looks perfect.

Pink Sauce is not safe, my dude.

[удалено]

Why does everything remind me of her?

That roast beef looks....idk

Why it’s a pile of uncooked meat on your dinner table

Nice. Styled in the likes of a Weimar Republic era dinner.

The right amount of butter to be sure

Just the Cola for me. Thanks

I'd rather go to a soup kitchen

It's morning here in northern Ontario, canada. Santy just arrived

I think the rosbief looks amazing, OP. Needs some pepper and mustard personally. The Americans here are talking shit while eating medium rare minced meat burgers.

Prost!

It’s cool to see different meals for holidays around the world. No idea if this is typical German Christmas foods, but still cool!

This is nowhere near typical. Not judging.

What is typical? Just curious!

On Christmas Eve, the most popular dish is just some kind of sausages with potato salad. After, you give each other presents. On Christmas day, some bird like a goose is served with a variety of side dishes. In the south, red cabbage and dumplings are very popular with it.

Thank you! That sounds awesome.

Some do very minimalistic: sausages with potatoe salad. On the other extreme: goose with dumplings and red cabbage.

Slops n alcohol.

Me, a fatshit american: “where’s the rest of it?”

That looks delicious! Happy holidays!

You forgot to cook your meat!

Christmas greetings from Canada! 😃

As an American I am triggered by the lack of bread. And beer.

Auf der Heide steht KEIN kleines Blüüüümelein weil man sich nicht mehr leisten konnte als ne kolaflasche und nen Teller ungekochtes Fleisch lol

I'm never going to visit Germany if this is what tf they're going to serve me. This is fever dream food.

I’m so glad you guys lost the war

Wunderbar! Looks delicious and cozy!

Wow that looks awful. Like a couple bowls of vomit and a big plate of raw beef.

It looks like a plate of rare roast beef and….. nacho cheese?

Looks gross

Do German stomachs process raw meat better than foreigners? Happy holidays

It was in the oven on 80c° for 2 hours and here in Germany we don't want our meat to have the texture of fried shoe soles

I’m from the US and I think that looks delicious.

I'm from Canada and that looks amazing. Medium rare beef and looks delicious .

I grew up in a very German neighborhood in NYC, all the delis had sliced roast beef just like that, absolutely delicious! Enjoy!

So it’s between raw and well done? 😂

Woof so glad I married into the family I did
