    Germany very much has speed limits, just not everywhere. Third one is also bs.

      The colder it is, the harder it is to grow food and the less options and culinary innovation you have. It is what it is.

        Danish restaurants have won World’s Best Restaurant 6 times in the past 13 years (with an additional 5 placements in 2nd and 3rd place, combined, since 2009), but granted, that doesn’t say much about Danish cuisine in general 😓

        Still, it has to count for something, dammit!

          I was in Kopenhagen last week. The bakery stuff is a pure bliss. I falled in love with the kanelstykke 😍

        Religion probably played a role too. That line is almost the Protestantism-Catholicism divide. Protestants had to live a sober life and this probably extended to their cuisine. Like the Dutch and British traveled across the world and waged wars for spices and the spices barely entered their gastronomy. All they did was sell the spices to Southern Europe

              Well according to Joseph Smith Jesus went on a road trip in America after the resurrection. Why else would Jesus cross the pond? For the mighty tater of course.

          Dealers can’t be consuming all their supply ;)

          But I agree, overall, southern European food is just so much better.

        South Korea has similar temperatures to most of the UK and their food is absolutely incredible, we need to find out how they pulled it off

          They are more to the south though. They are somewhere around the same latitude as the Mediterranean. Even though they have snowy winters the winter season is shorter thus their growing season last much longer. Hence why they can grow a larger variety of vegetables.

          Fermentation? I’m sure that’s not all of it but I think that’s how they got a lot of things to keep.

      Speaking as a Swede, it’s true. Rotten fish is not a flavour, it’s a crime against gastronomy. Also flour is not a spice.

    Mmh the first panel doesn’t “divide Europe”, so the title is misleading :P

    Now excuse me while I distract myself from the impending doom.

    Why would you make the bad cuisine green and the good beige. It’s literally the other way round.

    As someone from northern Germany, I can confirm our food is straight up just better than that southern shit.
