I mean, I’ve had German and British food and I can confidently say it doesn’t seem like they love food, lol.

  • I’ve had the pleasure of dining at one of Heston Blumenthal’s restaurants and I can categorically say that it was the most wonderful dining experience of my life

    German food is underated. Apple strudel with vanilla sauce is amazing. Like a sweet lasagna. Genius!

    I don't think I've ever had bad food in Germany. In England my limited experience is mixed, some good, some bad and some interesting lunch choices like salted peanuts.

    Have you tried Currywurst or Spätzle or Sauerbraten or any kind of German sausage or Mettbrötchen or German bread and still think we don’t love food?

    Lots of Germans defending German cuisine, so as another German: you are absolutely right! Germany has some great food and some Germans love making good food but German culture is absolutely not about food. The food culture we have is a development of the last ~40 years. Traditional German food is supposed to make you sated so you can go back to the fields and work! And the go to the army and fight! And then go to the ruins and rebuild! Tasty and awesome food? Yes! A culture that tells you it loves food? No!

    I could literally live on plain potatoes for the rest of my life and I’d be fine with it. My ancestors must have been as culinarily boring as possible.

  • And then, even Englishmen look down on Scots who think oats porridge is human food.
