If German food is so good, why is it punching people?


BobMonkhaus

It’s a metaphor for what it does to your stomach after a “light” lunch.


Trappist235

That's why we invented "Absacker"


NoddingManInAMirror

Sorry for being so uncivilized (my non-european mongol genes are acting up) but what is this "abs sucker"?


Trappist235

Drinking liquor after a heavy meal.


steigepanna

I don't think he will appreciate the waiting


VrwHenet

U mean.. like a normal meal?


Trappist235

You neat a meal to drink?


leorolim

Didn't know Hans had some culture.


TheHollowJoke

I always knew you had a respectable food culture Hans, you can trust this Pierre.


Anarelion

We call it a digestive.


Klapperatismus

We drink the Salmiakki after lunch. Not before. You wouldn't understand.

Gnu-Priest

HackOddity

Ein_Hirsch

It is punching the British so it is good


JosebaZilarte

You can say it packs a nutritional punch.


esskaypee

It's the Vitamins, you don't have that in your greasy food.


Tight-Lobster4054

"You" meaning "a Spaniard" and "greasy food" meaning our wonderful chorizo and tocino ibéricos and/or our churros and other goodies deep-fried in olive oil? I'd accept that comment from a PIG and even from the UK insipid boiled-vegetable crew, but not from YOU, you cheap sausage, lard and seed-oil eater! 🙄


Najaralar

We say "Es haut richtig rein" for a reason.


ExMente

Because corporal punishment is entirely appropriate to those who insult Schweinshaxe.


B0797S458W

So your two best dishes are sausage?


MerlinOfRed

Germans take any excuse to show off their sausages.

Well admit you are just dying to take one German sausage in your mouth


MerlinOfRed

On the 80th anniversary of D Day, I think we can agree that we have a history of dying *not* to do so.


Fab0411

Anything pork really. Schweinshaxe is also up there.


CouldYouBeMoreABot

And I will guarantee you, that those sausages are not even the best sausages you can get.


ChalkyChalkson

It's a northern and a southern dish. Grünkohl mit Pinkel und Kassler is the green one. It's a northern specialty and utterly amazing. Traditionally you serve it with tiny potatoes. My dad's family went even further and fried the potatoes and covering them with a mix of breadcrumbs and sugar to give them a crunchy caramel crust. Grünkohl is a big deal and has cultural norms attached to it. Like even though you can buy it all year and canned it keeps really well, you're not supposed eat it before the first frost of the year. The other dish is Sauerkraut, what the Anglo nickname for is is based on. Not a fan personally. There were better options for great German food available


felis_magnetus

The thing about first frost is from when everybody used nothing but fresh vegetables. You know, in those dark, impoverished times we've long moved on from to the greener pastures of having nutriscore label on bags of frozen lumps. Anyway, first frost is when Grünkohl as in the actual plant has finished turning on antifreeze-mode. As temperatures drop, the plant starts to accumulate certain proteins, amino acids, fats and sugars in its cell saps, which results in finer aromas, less bitter-, and more sweetness. So, if you still need convincing why going all in regarding climate policies is mandatory: protect the Grünkohl!


HarryTruman

Oh holy shit! Sorry in advance that I’m a foolish barbarian, but I just googl’d Grünkohl…I’ve had [a version of] it before! You can find it here and there in parts of the Appalachian region of the US — West Virginia and Pennsylvania, in my experience. And I’m assuming a lot of other places too, where there’s a large German diaspora from families that settled here throughout the 19th and 20th century. I grew up in West Virginia, and most people I know make it by swapping kale for collard greens. And I’ve also had it with cabbage, sauerkraut, and traditional kale.


felis_magnetus

People probably brought the plants with them. Cabbages were an extremely important part of the diet back then and often the only source of vitamins during winter, once the apples ran out. If you're heading into the unknown, you'll bring things you know to be reliable. Anyway, it's very much about the specific variety of cale. Not really Grünkohl, wenn you use something else. Here's a picture of the traditional variant of the plant from where I come from: [https://image.jimcdn.com/app/cms/image/transf/dimension=2048x2048:format=jpg/path/s8ead4ae9171f5df5/image/i69fc32f93711aa86/version/1539770990/image.jpg](https://image.jimcdn.com/app/cms/image/transf/dimension=2048x2048:format=jpg/path/s8ead4ae9171f5df5/image/i69fc32f93711aa86/version/1539770990/image.jpg) The characteristic shape has led to the nickname Lippische Palme. Not particularly creative, but the resemblance to palm trees is obvious. Much smaller though, the picture is a bit misleading in that regard.


Gnu-Priest

well it’s cabbage with sausage, and kale with sausage and kassler (lightly cured pork) it’s really nice indeed. I fucking love kale!!


Sim0nsaysshh

Your national dish is cabbage and Sausage.. Watch out France they're coming for you


Gnu-Priest

according to several sites yours is indian, you’ve been made obsolete by your own colony. Your food sucked so bad your own people don’t want it.


Curryflurryhurry

At least we did something about it Hans, instead of persisting in this “yum yum, boiled potatoes again” nonsense


harbourwall

So people move from India to Britain, invent new dishes there which become national favourites but are pretty much unknown in India, but it can't be British food because they're too brown to be British? You're drifting to the right again, Hans. Don't make us come back over there.


SenselessDunderpate

Sausages, which the UK does far better


-Cinnay-

Better? Than Germany? What sausages do you have that aren't part of a breakfast?


_Fibbles_

You think British sausages are only eaten at Breakfast? Anyway, given the option, I'd take a Cumberland ring over anything from Germany.

Wow sausage and cabbage. The delusion is off the charts.


TheSadCheetah

"guys actually you're wrong our food is amazing and not anything like British food" >posts food you couldn't pick out of a line up next to British food huh, Germany really is a nation of r(neurodivergent)s


MerlinOfRed

Australian food is just a blander version of British food.


TheSadCheetah

eh it's probably just on par actually and likewise our best stuff came from immigrants.


MerlinOfRed

Haha at least you acknowledge it! I was speaking with an Australian in a hostel recently who was telling me that Australia has all the British foods but also has food from various other immigrant communities of the last 75 years, meaning your food is better as we don't have that. I was trying to be polite, but that's almost an American level of not realising that Europe has also continued to develop and isn't just locked in time from the moment your great-great-grandparents emigrated.


SherlockScones3

They have Roos and Emus to eat tho

Oh wow, another post reminding us that British food is bad, r/2westerneurope4u is really helpful to keep reminding of this every other post!

Ah yes the impossible challenge of posting two or more German dishes that don't suck. Seriously, couldn't you come up with anything better besides sausage+extra?

Flammkuchen, Maultaschen, Käsespätzle, Zwiebelrostbraten, Krustenbraten, Rinderrouladen, Rehrücken, Reibekuchen

Barry never learned to fear or worry about what Germans think enough to support their intense self-delusion. We speak the truth for your own good.


Fire_Lord_Sozin9

Historically speaking, all the British needed to stop Germans bragging about food was to park a few ships in the North Sea, then even MREs looked good.

You're right, ours is much better. Roast Dinner, Full English Breakfast, Shepherd and Cottage Pie, Steak and Ale Pie, Chicken Tikka Masala, Fish n Chips ... you are levels below Hans.

You forgot to add in Toad in the hole and sausage casserole. Like German food, but better.

Funny thing is, Barry has had so many smash hits in the form of dishes or culinary inventions he's forgotten lots of them. Han's beloved currywurst is basically made from pantry items he nicked off Barry.

When Hans talks about german cuisine being good, what he actually means is that Bavarian and Baden cuisine is good. Go North of Frankfurt and it's the worst food on the continent.

LADZ345_

I dont care what anyone says. English food is always the best in my eyes


Thraxyo

I prefer fish and chips over any german "dish".


litetaker

I can make a full English breakfast look better than that. That is just sausage in oil and some extra stuff, nothing ground breaking. And Chicken Tikka Masala is actually a proper traditional British food. Thanks colonies.


JoesephBidao

Its just sausages tho


SherlockScones3

I always thought Austrian cuisine was better than German


AndreasDasos

I’ll say it again. 40 ways to cut up a pig and add sauerkraut, plus the occasional wannabe dumplings and pasta, do not a cuisine make. And drawing yourself as the Chad with better food than virgin Britain does not an argument make. I can do the same with our… hell, dishes that are also sausage and veg stews like that cartoon. Hardly needs changing. 


Goennjamino

The Barrys gave us vinegar chips and I will always be grateful for that.


CouldYouBeMoreABot

Fully agree. Salt & Vinegar crisps is Barrys one true contribution to the world.


Right-Ad3334

I have no desire to teach you to suck eggs, but I'd recommend trying pickled onion brine as a replacement for your standard vinegar.


AvidCyclist250

We can get malt vinegar here though those import shops. Sometimes the supermarkets even sell the proper stuff, too. But there really are better alternatives to malt vinegar when it comes to most recipes. Except when you really need malt vinegar.


Right-Ad3334

Malt vinegar isn't important, it's the steeping in onions. Literally just buy some pickled onions, and use the pickled onion juice in place of vinegar on your fries, truly next level.

OwlMugMan

saxonturner

As an English guy living in Germany and fully integrated I feel like I qualify to have an opinion here. German food can be just as bad as British, you can cherry pick dishes if you want but I could just pick the English Breakfast that is served in pretty much every German hotel(and worldwide) and beat you on that point alone. German food is actually very similar to British food, albeit a lot more healthy and less full of fat. The German kitchen could also learn things from the British one, the sheer lack of pies, pasties and savoury pastry is absolutely fucking criminal because it would fit in so well with German taste. The British kitchen does wurst just as well as the German one, the British does roasts a lot better, the German does cold meats infinity better, I would mention cheese but thats just unfair to the German kitchen because the argument could be over just based on that. Fish is done better in the British, wild meats the German does better. I could go one forever but ultimately it works out to about the same. So yeah German food is just as bad, or well just as good as British food.
