As a Brit living in another country, I get this too. People make jokes about me liking Doctor Who, drinking lots of tea and having bad teeth.

How dare you but also that is completely accurate.

I spent a month in Germany last year. Turns out the most authentic German food is currywurst and middle eastern food lol.

But maybe that's just in Berlin. They probably have good potato based dishes in Bavaria.

It's still Bretzel.
Pretzl is like the disabled version of it.

I spent some time in Germany last year, and the pretzels/sauerkraut/doner/spaetzel/currywurst are all top notch.

But holy fuck, fleishkase. I haven't been able to stop thinking about it since I returned to the US. I've looked up how to make it several times, but it seems pretty complicated. Damn me and my lazy American tendencies.

That and the beer. I discovered that Dunkels are my fucking jam. Ugh, so good.

Food in Germany is highly regional. You can have Kebab everywhere. The Sauerkraut beer and pretzels thing is mostly just Bavaria in the south. At the north sea and Baltic sea you got lots of fish naturally. In Hamburg you have Croques, Aalsuppe and further north Lapskaus. In the southern neighbor state to Bavaria you have Spätzle. And so on.

The beer also changes depending on region. Weißbier in the south and more mild beer in general down there. The north prefers beer with stronger taste that is more bitter generally.

There are few German foods which are generally accepted in all regions. Currywurst is one I'd say. Maybe grill Hähnchen as well although in the eat it'll be called Broiler while in the north noone has ever heard that word. Bratkartoffeln might also be pretty universal although ingredients probably differ. Egg or no egg, pickles or not.

Tldr German food is very different depending on region.

To be fair, no need to be German to love sauerkraut, beer and bretzels.

Though what Americans think of as a pretzel is just a sad squiggle of brown dough.

To be fair, the only sauerkraut I've ever had that actually tasted good was part of a dish made by a German immigrant (in America).

Germans aren't a "race".

Germany has great food! 👍

How is that an insult? Those are amazing parts of German culture.

Race?

Mettwurst, pickles and salami are part of my eating habits I exported. Getting good sauerkraut is difficult even in Germany, it's all just the cheap vinegar stuff instead of lactaid acid.

This guy's name is Michael Mittermeier fyi! He's been a comedian for ages!

It’s ok, like nothing special. Grünkohl is way better but I have another favourite. I would share it, but it’s so regional I’d basically doxx myself. And even if you’d know it, you don’t want to know what it’s made of ^^

Strange, I am German and I hate all three.

Best dish is dumplings with roulade and red cabbage.

I hate Sauerkraut and Beer

Am I even German?
