Comment on My culture also loves music, dancing and telling stories
groet@feddit.org 3 days agoLots 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!

This is frickin awesome. Ima tell this to my German-American relative. They come from a family of farmers, come to think of it.
Swedish food is the same!
As someone who enjoys the satiety of eating a good meal but not necessarily the flavors… I think this clicks for me now, why I seem to like Nordic/German styles of cuisine. It need but be flavorful, but it is hearty! Also, my tongue hates spices (sadly).
There are German towns surrounding San Antonio, such as Gruene (pronounced Green, because we’re heathens), with everything from traditional to fusion German foods. Anyone who treats mustard like its own food group is alright with me.
