Comment on German joke

  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 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.

        The point is that they just sound like non-sense words to anyone outside Poland.

      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.
