Opinions on ze German cuisine?
EINS DREI EINS DREI EINS DREI EINS DREI
The big cities are like any big city anywhere, 99% is utter horse shit wannabe slop, catering to tourists, students' knack for the next fad or businessmen that don't have time. There's always a few family-run restaurants where you eat well for a very decent price. You won't find them on Tripadvisor.East Germany still hasn't overcome the Communist era.Black Forest is top tier.Any region that has rivers and/or wine farming is top tier.You eat very well in moderately touristic regions which don't really appeal to the modern Instagram public like Hochsauerland and the Eiffel.In southern Germany you really have to know where to eat, it's hit or miss.The seafood is underwhelming. Trout dishes are simple but fantastic.
>>21882290woah, a knower
>>21882264>It's breddy gudFuck off you aging hipster faggot
>>21882283>ONE THREE ONE THREE ONE THREE ONE THREE.. yes
>>21882263>bangers and mash:|>bangers and mash, germany:O
>>21882263Serviceable. Most of the higher status stuff is french-influenced though. Traditional german dishes are often just slightly uninspired, like the cook went "ok, we have four main ingredients, that's enough right?". Still tastes good within that constraint.
>>21882290how well can you get by without knowing german? do they get all pissy like the french if you try to speak english there?
I love making pretzels.
>>21882290>Any region that has rivers and/or wine farming is top tier. This. Riesling is the best winen, also the cuisine in the Mosel region is stunning. Lots of variety. For me, it's a glass of dry Riesling with a slice of fresh bread and a plate of cheeses.
I sometimes buy those sausages they have. The big white ones. They're really nice. Also their beer is very good. I get a beer called Warsteiner and it is honestly head and shoulders above every lager I've ever had. Absolutely beautiful flavour. That roast pork knuckle thing is good too
Made Jägerschnitzel yesterday. It was very tasty.
>>21882263fermented cabbage, sausage, and starch: :|fermented cabbage, sausage, and starch, Korea: :O
>>21882814>JägerschnitzelOssis triggered at the sight of real jägerschnitzel.
>>21882501>bangersThose aren't bangers you retard
>>21882882Lol no.
>>21882264>there is a prejudice against French foodAre you mentally retarded?
>>21882639Noone is as bad as the French. Nobody will spit in your food if you don't speak German but especially in restaurants serving traditional German food you shouldn't expect them to speak English too well. As long as you just order some shit from the card you will have no issues at all. Many words are close to English or French anyway.
>>21882639I'd say fairly well. West German people are very polite, a bit too straightforward, usually very kind. East Germans don't like foreigners at all.>do they get all pissy like the frenchThe French don't get pissy apart from Paris and the South of France. You have the occasional retard ofc like you have them anywhere.
>>21883513>west germans >polite
>>21882501Those are roulades you retarded mutt
>>21882639Depends on where you are.Pissy I wouldn't say, but not everybody actually knows English, especially in the more traditional areas the elder folk who were young before ENglish was taught in schools.So if you for example in the black forest in a non-tourist area try to talk to someone you could get something like"I kann se net verstehe! Sprechens' g'fälligst Deitsch!"

Schlactplatte mit schweinshaxn is gods god}ft to carnivores.
>>21882547>Most of the higher status stuff is french-influenced though.This is a /his/let midwit statement. Literally everything European is massively French influenced because France was the superpower for like 1000 years and had like 10x the population and economy of any other country. A huge amount of European countries were ruled by French nobles with French customs. Complaining that French, German, English, Spanish, Italian, American cuisine all have massive French influence is akin to complaining that most European nations are influenced by the Ancient Greeks and Romans.
>>21885709He's right that the haute cuisine stuff in Germany is basically just French food with those typical modern or regional twists. Like the 3 star restaurant here that serves everything with French sauces, foie gras and truffles but also rustic shit like Sauerfleisch.
>>21882263Genuinely one of the best and most underrated cuisines. Beautiful stews and soups, dumplings, breads, pastries confections. Heavy and delicious meat and potato dishes. Love all manner of fishbrotchen. Obviously worlds best beers and an underrated wine culture. Top class food culture salute to the deustch people and reminds me I need to go to a brauhaus soon
>>21885709>France was the superpower for like 1000 years and had like 10x the population and economy of any other country. A huge amount of European countries were ruled by French nobles with French customs.That's massively overstating it.
>>21885741>>21885761Its somewhat overstating it but not really. France in 1500 had around 16 million people living in it while Spain had 8 million, England had 2 million, major HRE states like Bohemia and Austria had 2 million. Between the Capets, Valois, Anjou, Angevins, Bourbons etc there were French nobility in Spain, Portugal, England, Scotland, Netherlands, Naples, Sicily, a bunch of minor Italian states, Hungary, Croatia, numerous HRE states and more. The effect of this is that court culture throughout almost all of Europe was very French. Subsequently all "high class" cuisine in every European country will have French influence. Its not a bad thing, infact its just a dumb thing to point out in disfavor of a countries food. Saying something is bad because its similar to French cuisine is like shitting on various Asian cuisines for being similar to Chinese.
>>21882290>Black Forest is top tier.Like, black forest as in ham?
>>21886005I presume he means the region.
>>21886013...which is known for it's ham?
>>21882263where the seasoning
>>21886032... among other food-related qualities.
>>21886032I mean yeah the ham is a thing but most Germans would probably think of the black forest cherry cake first, which is basically seen like it's own flavor, also mimicked by ice cream and other sweets.
>>21886062>Germans would probably think of the black forest cherry cake firstI don't see that at my grocery store deli
>>21882263A properly cooked pork-knuckle with spaetzel and saurkraut is honestly one of the most decadent meals.
>>21883513West germans are the most condescending faggots in the world.
>>21886094>He doesn't build with bricksThe mocking will continue until building standards improve.
>>21886104Mockery loses its edge when it's coupled with getting shitwhipped in two world wars.
>>21886111Given that someone felt the need to make that video, it seems to sting alright.
>>21886068You also don't see all the Michelin-rated restaurants in Baden-Württemberg(at one time, more than the rest of Germany combined) from your grocery store deli ether. Visit Baiersbronn if you can afford that kind of thing.
>>21886068They don't have cakes do they?!
>>21882673That's also the face I make when I open my mouth to eat pretzels, art imitating life here.
>>21886171not in the deli...
kebap mit alles
>>21885793>Saying something is bad because its similar to French cuisine is like shitting on various Asian cuisines for being similar to Chinese.Who does that? Everyone knows French cookery is the backbone of western cuisine like Chinese is to Asian.
>>21886115If you think that video was about the mockery and not about germans having to jump into every single comments section regarding news from the USA to go WE DON'T DO THAT IN GERMANY, you might just be retarded.You have latched onto one part of a video and said that is the entirety of the video.
>>218822637/10>>21882283keked irl
>>21886094germany doesn't even have state healthcare
>>21882263Love it. There's this local German restaurant near where I live. Fucking delicious but also mad expensive
>>21887558It's a weird mixed system, but the long and short of it is that you are legally required to have insurance and except for weird fringe cases, it's basically impossible to be left without it. If you can't pay, the state will.
>>21887753It's not any more mixed than the one we have in the US. Germany just has higher quality legislation and no healthcare network retardation
>>21882263The random german restaurants I've been to were kinda dog shit. Random dutch restaurants are usually alright in my experience.
>>21887603What dishes do you usually order?Rouladen in sauce with red cabbage and tatoes?That's like what would call the quintessental German full dish, disregarding all kinds of sausages and currywurst.
