The chips go in the sandwich. Also I don’t know how to swim.

I thought I was the only one! You put them in the middle then press it slightly so they go “crunch” a little. Yum!

Go swim if you have the means to do so!

French fries is the standard German pool food. Like, nowhere else do you see stands selling nothing but fries (with ketchup and/or mayo, of course). And they just don’t taste as good anywhere else, I guess it’s the chlorine in the air making the salt taste extra special without actually tasting more salty.

As a swamp German, this is how we do it, too. Aside from ketchup/mayo we use curry gewurtz (Hela) and mayo on there, with some diced onion.
Iron_Lynx@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
And probably a deep fried snack next to it.

I’m Dutch and I have similar memories. Fries, crisps, and/or ice cream used to be a quintessential part of the pool visit. Kinda makes me nostalgic thinking about it. After all that moving around the fries were an even better treat.

And it was damn good. What’s that German saying? “Hunger makes the best sauce”? When you’re really hungry this is five Michelin star good.
Chee_Koala@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
In dutch they say: “Hunger makes raw beans taste sweet” when packing up after windsurfing, they would advise against taking your trapeze off (a huge belly belt that can connect you to the sail, handsfree!) before you had access too food, because more often then not, it would unleash the hunger beast within. It was fun to have that power over your own hunger! GIMME THOSE SWEET BEANS!

As a German I never heard that sentence before but it’s hilarious lol
RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
It’s a little less used these days. I have German family, they’re all older, so the saying may be out of style compared to their time. It’s usually “best sauce” but I’ve also heard “beste Koch” as well.

In English we say “hunger makes the best sauce” which startlingly similar.

In Poland we have “Hunger is the best condiment”, I guess it might be something similar

Nachos, super rope, and ice cream at the pool concession stand.

You put some of those chips in those sandwiches and youre cookin’
Squeezer@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
We had a fish and chip shop opposite the pool. I don’t think I have eaten anything better than those salty vinegary chips, the childish exhaustion and hunger made them absolutely magical.
markovs_gun@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Dude it still does. Try that shit man a big shitty sandwich and chips fucking goes hard
Kolanaki@pawb.social 3 weeks ago
It hits just as hard today, IMO.
ickplant@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I just ate steak, but now I want a sandwich with Doritos on top.

Is that a Hawaiian coke can?
Man, now I want some Mexican coke. Fuck HFCS.
Szewek@lemm.ee 3 weeks ago
I don’t get it, why you have a line of crisps next to the sandwich? And why would you have cold food with cola?

bathing_in_bismuth@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
Its not a thing in my country…
1024_Kibibytes@lemm.ee 3 weeks ago
The crisps were there because they had salt and fat. This was typical food for children after swimming. Three cold food is because it was 30-40°C outside.

Does soda have pairings like wine? I had no idea, I just cracked open sodas. What kinda faux pas have I been doing all my life? Oh God, is everyone looking at me weird when I drink soda wrong?
notabot@lemm.ee 3 weeks ago
Oh God, is everyone looking at me weird when I drink soda wrong?
If you’re not holding it in the crook of your elbow, lifting your arm, and pouring it onto your outstretched tongue, then at least one of us is doing it wrong, and I think it’s you, and everyone is silently judging you for your weird way of drinking. They don’t drink with their elbows probably because they don’t want to embarass you.
uienia@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Is there a specific reason that type of food is only available after swimming?
bathing_in_bismuth@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
Curious about different after pool cuisines around the globe. Didn’t really realise every country could have a different take
win95@lemmy.zip 3 weeks ago
Fries & mayonaise slaps (Netherlands)
Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 3 weeks ago
I don’t think we have such a thing in Finland. I don’t remember food being a thing after swimming hall or beach/lake
grrgyle@slrpnk.net 3 weeks ago
For me it was vending machine peanuts, because that’s what they had in the swimming pool building
Pnut@lemm.ee 3 weeks ago
Whenever we watch old home movies all I can think of is the food. You know what it tasted like and in certain cases it’s never been the same. There’s one video of me walking around naked in a cowboy hat (I was 4) at lunch time and all I can think of when I see it is “I want that sandwich, I remember that sandwich”. Anyways, this picture is tasty. It brought back some memories. Clearly.
UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 3 weeks ago
Is there a country that has soup in a pool? It’s like your food is a hot tub!
