    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 ^^

    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.

    Strange, I am German and I hate all three.

    Best dish is dumplings with roulade and red cabbage.

      Oh yes, especially with a red wine based sauce. I can’t wait for autumn and winter. ( my wife thinks is weird to it when is warm outside)

    At this point I’m not sure if I’m too much racist or too much woke, because I absolutely don’t understand what is the meaning of the joke. Is German a race now? Or are Asians (race?) supposed to hate pretzels for some reason?

    was ist das für eine “Rasse”? sind Bayern biologisch so “eigentständig”? Vielleicht wurde in der Boomerschule einfach anders unterrichtet?

    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.

      But you are right I should have used country… I will change that.

          Race doesn’t exist in human biology. Genetically a caucasian could be closer to an aborigine than another caucasian, what we perceive as race are relatively unimportant and tiny parts of our genetic makeup.

          However, race exists as a signifier in social studies, because people experience the world and are treated differently when they have different race-perception. For example black men driving expensive cars will be pulled over more frequently. Hence race exists as a social concept because people treat it like it exists in more than just that.

        Also it doesn’t work because it’s not an insult though, unless the “German” in question is actually a yank, and gets offended as an actual hobby

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

    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.

      TIL that they call it “Fleischkäse” in Germany… Here in Austria it’s “Leberkäse” (liver cheese) even though there isn’t any liver in it (anymore).

      But yes, nothing better than a Semmel with a thick slice of Leberkäse. ❤️

        Admittedly, the first place I ever had it was a commercialized bakery (Barbarossa), and the meat was grilled and it was served on a roll that was crisp on the outside and softer on the inside - delectable. Since that’s what I first saw it called, I just thought that was the name. Had no idea it was regional!

        And then everywhere else I went, if it was on the menu, I got it. There’s a restaurant down a little side street off the main drag in Trier that serves it with potatoes and sauerkraut.

        Any way I had it was so good!

        BUT ALSO. Bruh. I love you as much as an internet stranger can. I just googled “leberkase San Antonio”, and there is apparently a German society here that serves it on Tuesdays.

        I’m. Fucking. Stoked. Thank you!

        You’ll often find it called it either and it never had anything to do with Leber, but Leib… which doesn’t mean that certain regions don’t put liver in it. Calling it Käse is the suspicious part.

        Above the Weißwurstäquator it’s known as “that Bavarian stuff” because German law says that if you call something Leberkäse then it has to contain liver unless it’s called Bayrischer Leberkäse. You also won’t find Brezeln, or, differently put, only ones which sole purpose it is to insult Bavaria (same thing the English do with Croissants) and as to Sauerkraut, it’s severely out of fashion. Weißkrautsalat, Rotkohl, yes, but you’re basically more likely to find someone who figured out Kimchi than people who eat old-style Sauerkraut.

        The native stuff up here is falscher Hase, that is, the same (approximately) meatloaf that Anglos know.

        The Swiss apparently exclusively call it Fleischkäse.

            „Leber“ leitet sich aus „Laib“ ab, was auf die Form des Fleischkäses zurückzuführen ist.

            Lesen wir da gerade die gleiche Seite.

              Die Bezeichnung als Käse leitet sich lediglich von der Form der Laibe ab.

              Idk… Das steht bei mir im zweiten Absatz. 😅
