  can’t cook

  Bavaria would like a word.

  If anybody in Europe can’t cook, it’s the Poles.

    That’s a wild-ass take about the people who gave us pierogi and kielbasa. Bigos and golabki are pretty awesome too.

    I mostly heard negative opinions about Dutch cuisine. Despite the popularity of stoopwafel lol

      Is that food?

      Have you all forgot then British exist?

        Is that supposed to be food?

        I wonder what your definition of food is if these don’t fit it.

        And have you all forgot the British exist?

        The comment that started this discussion specifically mentions their assumed perspective.

        Britain is the worst. They took over India to get the spices in order to create the most bland food in the world.

      I’ve had very good food in NL but it’s pretty expensive compared with Germany

      Doesn’t kielbasa just mean sausage in Polish? I think sausages existed before Poland. And dumplings are said to originate from China though I’m sure the Poles have their own creative variations of the filling.

      Dutch cuisine primarily consists of deep fried food.

      Specialities like the frikandel (german frikandel is very different), patat/friet oorlog, waterfiets, kroket, bamischijf, kaassoufle and fried bounty(the candybar). Or this wonderful Arabic/Dutch combination, de kapsalon.

      Many people love these foods tho. Well regarded by most tourists.

      A dutch restaurant is called a snackbar.

      Eastern-European food often can’t be attributed to any one country. Pierogi are identical to Ukrainian varenyky, and in case of meat dumplings also Russian pelmeni (borrowed from Komi and Udmurt cuisine). It’s hypothesized that dumplings originated in China and spread from there to Europe via the Silk Road trade, possibly via Turks; and to Siberia via Mongols.

    Anywhere north of the Alps, cuisine had to function as a means of enduring the long, cold winter. Hence a lot of it is hearty stodge, without the joie de vivre one finds closer to the Mediterranean.

    If Bavaria is any better, its proximity to Italy may be of credit.

    But is this the average experience? Everyday meal? I think not. Mediterraneans have good everyday meals rest of Europe only for sundays. Tomatoes vs cabbage&potato.

  I can’t confirm any of that except the cooking part. There’s a German restaurant near us, and the entire menu is various forms of Wurst - sausages. Apparently, their entire culinary range consists of hot dogs.

  • friendlymessage@feddit.org ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    That’s simply a bad restaurant

    source

    • AmyAye@nord.pub ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Yes, a real German restaurant would also have a dozen styles of kraut to go with the hot dogs.

        Maybe y’all should eat at a restaurant in Germany before you judge German cuisine. I’m not walking into a McDonalds and go “MMM, AMERICAN FOOD TASTES LIKE SHIT!” Fucking hell…

    Ive tried that, i find the socks make them too likely to slip when I walk. Don’t understand it.

    • bobbyfiend@retrolemmy.com ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      I have poor circulation (possibly Raynaud’s Disease) so sandals without extra insulation have been a painful prospecr for two decades.

      For me, Birkenstocks slip a little bit no matter what. If I don’t wear socks, the rubbing eventually makes me bleed (usually just under the ankle). If I wear socks, that doesn’t happen.

      I’m not sure why that happens to me and not to most people. Maybe my skin is too dry? But yeah. When I wore Birkenstocks, it was with socks. These days I just don’t wear sandals.

      source

      • rbos@lemmy.ca ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        I can see that. My feet take a few days of careful husbanding before they develop the callouses for a new pair of sandals, and there’s gonna be some sore spots. It helps to stick a bandaid over the sore spots to give them a chance to toughen up.

        I can well imagine that some people might take longer or develop blisters more easily, preventing the skin from getting to that point. Dry skin is a good hypothesis.

        Socks are a totally decent option. If it’s not going to happen, don’t try to force it. /nod
