That’s not Germany that’s Bavaria. Come on, every country has that one part full of crazy people that you don’t want to compare the whole country to.
I moved from Bavaria to Saxony about two years ago. I always thought the whole “The West” “The East” thing was a joke and no one actually talked and thought like that.
Then I realized that it was just that there is “The East”, “The West”, and “Bavaria”. Bavarians don’t identify with “The West”. Nothing “The East” says about “The West” applies well to Bavaria. It’s just a very shielded microcosm. Bavarians don’t identify as Germans. They identify as Bavarians primarily. They are doing their own thing.
Hey now not everyone has a Florida
That’s almost like the old ”Finnish Breakfast Meme” but a healthier version.
The most German thing here ‘sausage salad’
1 cigarette for a €1? That seems like a deal.

And you’re trying to tell me this isn’t perfect for sharing?
You’re at Airbräu! I love it!
Reminds me of the “Poachers Plate (free)” for small kids having some food from their parents order.
The Québec style is a can of Pepsi with a cigarette and some religious words that are also swear words because reasons.
Is it good bread?
Probably depends on the standards you’re used to. For germans it may be okayish at best, for americans it might be the best bread they’ve ever tasted.
German bread is quite good generally
I’ll have mine with a last word
Sounds like America to me
The cold snack platter looks to have a big helping of raw pork 🤢
What we call raw ham in Europe is just a method of preparing ham without cooking. It is salted and dried for month. Very safe.
Ok, but that’s still weird in my mind. That’s not raw, that’s preserved.
Let me introduce you to Mettbrötchen.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mett
Mett is raw minced pork meat, and it is delicious. You just need good food saftey standards.
If you have a “eeeeeew” gut reaction about eating raw pork - that’s how I felt hearing about sushi the first time. It’s mostly about what you’re used to.
Sushi and Mett, they are both quite safe to eat here in Germany. Of course there’s always some minor remaining risk, but that’s a looooot smaller than the risk of getting ran over by a car on my way to the store.
Uncooked ham is pretty common in the U.S., too. Anything labeled “country ham” is dry cured, and is usually uncooked. Prosciutto generally isn’t cooked, either.
In terms of imports, the U.S. has approved the importation of some Spanish hams (jamón ibérico and jamón serrano) that are cured but not cooked, as well as uncooked prosciutto from Italy. The regulatory hoops are a little more difficult and hard for small producers to justify, but there are a handful of producers who have received the appropriate approvals to export to the U.S.
This might blow your mind but in parts of the world which have actual food safety standards this isn’t a problem.
