I had a great time in money. It definitely cost a lot of money.
One day we’ll catch them on film enjoying a Greggs sausage roll and the charade will be over.
checks out. i had rotten cabbage today.
While “rotten cabbage” seems to be a correct descriptor, I was somewhat aghast to not be included in the potato munchers. I mean… people are out there calling us potatoes… but then I looked it up and Germany is in the lower midfield of how much potatoes countries in the EU eat.
I’m tipping my hat to you Latvia. Respect. 112,7 kg per person per year. That is nearly double the 57,4 kg per person per year we eat in Germany.
Fermented cabbage is not rotten, nor is pickled cabbage. Funny or no, fermented cabbage is fucking awesome. And potatoes.
Most fermented things are awesome.
Got newer data? Germany if it keeps up the 2023 rise could have overtaken Poland
Well… we did have a record harvest in 2025… but so did Poland.
I love this insult between France and the Netherlands:
Having 50 varieties of Gouda doesn’t make you a cheese country
Italy
Overrated but acceptable. Everything else sucks, though.
I like it how the map essentially says “we cannot find anything proper to complain about Italy.”
“We stole half our flavor profiles from them and refuse to admit it, so we pretend like anything we stole is actually just common knowledge.”
it is not like tomatoes are native italy
The Italians embraced them much sooner and did a lot more with them. The French were too worried they were poisonous because they were nightshades and only slowly adopted them with the advent of tomato exports from Italy and Spain.
We improved them. One of Italy’s most famous dishes, carbonara pasta, has a French version that is way better.
the Korean version is even better.
I looked it up and it’s spicy carbonara. I should try this.
There are massive leaps to be made by combining French techniques with foreign ingredients, it just requires accepting that maybe other places also have good food, perhaps even better food in some cases.
Do you really just leave us hanging without telling us how to upgrade carbonara?
why are you linking to reddit instead of just posting the image itself? the reddit poster didn’t create this, you don’t need to credit them…
- Convenience. Far easier to get the reddit link, than download the pic, then upload it.
That’s the only reason, but I can think of some others:
- hosting. keeping the pic on reddit dont raise lemmy bandwith, or cloud cost.
- free moderation. If the pic is illegal somehow, reddit will delete it, without I having to care about breaking some law.
- origin. Keeping the origin well known, just for moral honesty
IMO, # 2 and 3 are terrible reasons.
Re: #2: If bandwidth or storage were a problem, the instance admins could handle it. Preemptively hotlinking to some external site deprives them of the chance to solve the problem in a better way, while also making it more likely that the pic becomes unavailable and leaves an orphaned post.
Re: #3: Another way of saying that is “letting Reddit’s corporate censorship usurp the Lemmy mods’ and admins’ power.” Does it still sound like a good thing? Just because fucking Reddit, of all non-person entities, has a problem with it, doesn’t mean it’s right or that the Lemmy instance hosting it is subject to the same laws!
i’m not seeing a link…
the link in the title:
https://i.redd.it/rgd9x75kghoh1.png
if you try to open the image link to expand the map image, it’ll take you to the reddit post. Because the image isn’t being hosted here, it’s hosted there. And also, the post is deleted there, so, for me at least, there’s no way to expand the image and zoom in. I’m on firefox, if it matters.
i get a higher-res version from the sopuli proxy and don’t see the link. but it looks like that’s a voyager thing, the browser ui redirects.
Nah, we actually respect italian cuisine.
That’s not even shitpost-worthy. Only biased.
French food is under spiced.
Like lots of useful techniques, don’t get me wrong, but, no. The culinary tradition is limited in regards to scope of ingredients and flavor profiles.
At least the Germans are humble enough to eagerly adopt new spices and seasonings.
Edit: croissants are from Austria
At least the Germans are humble enough to eagerly adopt new spices and seasonings.
What? That goes against my ~10 years of living in Germany. They hate anything not traditional, and their traditional food is absolutely fucking disgusting.
Maybe you’re confused because of the many immigrant-held places? I’ve never had a good döner from a place managed by a white German, but good kebab places in Germany are infinitely better than fast food in France
The fact that kebab places are so prevalent in Germany shows the average German is quite open to foreign foods. Even “traditional” German foods get spins from foreign foods, like curry wurst. I’ve also seen quite a few inspired takes on flammekueche using foreign inspirations.
french cousine is either just bland or disgusting no where in between
We Dutch people don’t even eat that much sauerkraut since it is a German dish. The French actually know us for our baked goods. You know the ones that kick in after an hour.
“fries”
Accurate.
Completely valid criticism for hungary. I just put like a kilo of paprika on like 100 grams of chicken 💀
Ice cuba salad? Lol wtf
