Opinion: If Germans had internationally marketed Pfannkuchen (or Eierkuchen) and its various toppings/fillings, both sweet and savory, whether for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, it would have been a massive boost for the image of German cuisine, despite Pfannkuchen's simplicity.And the versatility I see for recipes on German websites. Everything from the traditional applesauce ones to apricot-stuffed rolls, to stacks of them sauced and cheesed and herbed to imitate lasagna, to dill-and-cured salmon ones, to spinach and mushrooms rolls, to omelette styled ones, etc. etc. etc.I think it was a missed opportunity. It still might have a chance though. The Anglosphere doesn't seem to have such an equivalent, so perhaps marketing there could hold weight (basically as a more utilitarian crepe capable of supporting heavier foodstuffs).
I never regarded pancakes as belonging to a certain country.I don't think it's "a German" dish, bcause it's not "a X" dish.
>>22003690I'm talking about a specific stylization. Everyone associates crepes with France. Plus, America has a notable absence of such thinly styled pancakes.
>>22003696I dont know where you live in America but both savor and sweet crepes are everywhere in Malls and Cafes atleast in the northeast
Maybe before the wars fucked up everything badly. At least for what the average Joe eats.
>>22003705Crepes are way, way thinner than normal pancakes. You need a special pan and tool to flatten them.
weißwurst in pfeffersoße and dampfnudeln. of course the weißswurst saw 11 o'clock, i made it for lunch!
>>22004197I legitimately just felt a need to puke.
>>22003690This. Also savory pancakes suck.
>>22004212Fat anon gets angry at lack of sugar
>>22004214Just accept that they suck. There's no reason to chose pancakes instead of potatoes, noodles, rice or bread.
>>22004204good food will make you skinny
>>22003682Germany only had burgers and it was americanized in the same way pizza was improved by fat americans.When I think of german food I think of raw ground pork with onions or those ugly sandwiches that are just a fish between two loaves of bread. There is a reason why people talk about French and Italian food all the time and not german food.
>>22004252Du takes that back right nau.
>>22004266I see the german in his rage has went back to his diet of ground jewish meat.
>>22004252WHen I think of German food I think of rouladen with rotkohl and potatoes or knoedel.Good old hausmannskost. Yum!
>>22004269That would be against the Reinheitsgebot.
>>22004274When I think of German food, I think of 4 things>Fresh baked bread>Cheese>Sausage>BeerThe biggest thing Germans could do to export their food culture is ramp up exports of all their micro-scale cheese brands that you currently can't realistically get outside the country. You could make 1000 charcuteries in Germany and never get bored so long as you kept rotating cheeses and sausage types, but that's just not visible abroad.
>>22003682I could see those being good in a german style pub
>>22003682bruh just about every Western culture has a variation on filled pancakes or crepes>oh but ours is ze different because it is 1mm thicker than ze american pancake!no one cares lol. it's still pretty much the same thing.
>>22004453what cheeses lol, germany does not at all have a reputable cheese culture, not even in comparison to small switzerland, and certainly nothing compared to france or italy
>>22003682Germans need to massively reinvent themselves. Maybe a shweinshaxe and potato sandwich between crusty bread?what else are they gonna do, make coney dogs out of weisswurst?
>>22003705Common in the Midwest too.>>22003757They are listed specifically in menus in America as crepes and we know they aren't the same as pancakes.
