I’ll totally agree with Norway. Did a 3 week road trip from Oslo to Å and back this summer. Got sick of hamburgers, pizza, and fake “kebabs” real fast. I expected to be eating so much fresh fish, but it was fairly rare to find. Best meal I had was a Thai “restaurant” attached to a one pump gas station in the middle of nowhere run by the sweetest Thai grandma. It took some back and forth to convince her I wasn’t Norwegian and wanted actual Thai spicy. And it was excellent.
Well, no yummy Wienerschnitzel for you then!
Full Welsh Breakfast adds cockles and it’s actually really great.
Obviously Scottish has lorne sausage and (often) haggis, and the Ulster fry has white pudding and farl bread. I’m so hungry.
While I can agree with most of this map, you have absolutely no right to include South Tyrolia in this, they value their food a lot and don’t lack behind the rest of Italy at all.
This person clearly has no taste
I get highlighting England for the meme (though the modern UK has some of the best food culture in the world)
But Germany, Belgium, Denmark & Austria? I’m sorry, OP clearly has never travelled outside their hometown and eaten nothing but white bread.
It’s the Germanic countries, simple as.
I eat sauerkraut from the jar with a fork.
Then I drink the brine.
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.
And alcohol. And trees, darkness, cold, mud, did I mention darkness?
Bears and battlestar Galactica as well?
At least Sweden has decent fikabröd. The rest of the world has only almond croissants, brownies or dire travesties of kanelbullar to accompany its coffee
Are you not a fan of toast sandwiches?
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.
You get bread from a small bakery instead of a huge chain, you get exactly the same thing. Shit’s so great you can eat it without anything on it and it still is good / not boring.
And Schnitzel, I love a good Schnitzel!
Plus Sauerkraut is the most versatile and delicious thing ever.
Hard disagree on sauerkraut, you can have my share. But I’d hit someone with a Spaten for a Jägerschnitzel right about now.
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?
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
there is a myriad of different types of schnitzel.
If there’s a lot of sauce and you feel that shouldn’t be there, you should have specified what kind of schnitzel you want.
the Classics: Schnitzel Wiener Art (pig) or Wiener Schnitzel (baby cow) do not come with sauce on top at all.
they are standard recipes, you get exactly what you expect everywhere. it also pretty much tastes the same in every restaurant… no matter if its in Austria, Bavaria or even Hamburg. (…unless you order it in a shit tier restaurant where shit tier meat is used)
extensive testing in hundreds of restaurants beyond the border and within lead to my above conclusion
alt text: im really boring. i always order schnitzel, its the safest bet to get reliably tasty food
alt text 2: also fuck you, your crimes against the schnitzel will be punished with extra sauce!
we need a schnitzelverbrechen community on lemmy 😂
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
And what about Eisbein mit sauerkraut?
Fuck you, more Pinnekjøtt and Fårikål for me
Tikki masala carrying all of Scotland’s cuisine reputation
At the very least the Scots know that deep-frying stuff makes it better even it was kinda dire to begin with.
This whole food thing. It’s so subjective. How has it reached this stage? 😄😄
I’m a proud Celt! Fuck them Anglo-Saxons!
Genetic testing kicks down the door
Also love shading the Faroes and Shetland specifically. That’s very funny. It’s a couple of archipelagos in the sea. In the howling North Sea at that. They’re tiny islands not known for agricultural bounty. How much culinary choice do you think they historically had? They aren’t exactly growing pineapples up there. Of course it’s all fish and dried mutton.
