Comment on German joke

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

  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.

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

        Oh! I thought pierogi and kielbasa were better known internationally given their popularity in New York. Anyway, I’d recommend them!

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

  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.

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