/ck/ - Food & Cooking

It's not really a workable analogy. Germany has actual rules for truth in labeling, meat quality, and so on. In the midwest US quality is considered a liberal conspiracy to make me feel uncultured, and all meat is the same (if you disagree with me you are a vegan extremist).

I've visited every midwestern state and lived in three of them. Try again.

>>10625111
>are the culturally oppressed Germans and white people in the U.S. related at all
Gee no clue

German cooking does offer a huge variety, as you would know if you had actually bothered looking at a real cookbook. Both regional varieties as well as different dishes. I will freely admit it tends toward the savoury or the sweet but mostly heavy and filling side. If you are interested in actual german cooking the two greatest cookbook classics in germany are "Ich helf' dir kochen" by Maria Stuber und the "Bayerisches Kochbuch" (pic related)

The midwest is like 99% ethnically German, so that's probably why. Just meats, potatoes, sauce, and the occasional cabbage or carrot.

>>10625137
That looks midwest as fuck dude.

>>10625141
Try giving a midwestern mett, or serving it a glass of beerenauslese riesling
>omg raw meat! yuckee!
>omg wine!? that makes u gay?!
And forget about schweinshaxe or something along those lines. Let alone a german bread since it doesn't look like wonder bread. Or a german cheese which may actually have flavors unlike WIDF garbage '''cheese''''

>>10625147
You sound extremely sheltered.

>>10625155
>get accused of being a fear-gripped flyover shut-in
>n-no U!
Yeah you already tried that with the "you've never set foot in the midwest" post up there. Maybe you should actually google mett and schweinshaxe. When you're done making loud gagging noises, come back and apologize for being wrong on the internet.

>>10625163
>if I accuse you first my obvious projecting is safe!!
You're pathetic.

>>10625168
No U, ad hominem, moving the goalposts.

This is a really boring argument, bye.

>>10625163
Imagine living in a world city and getting triggered by flyovers. Obsessed! Many such cases! Sad!

>>10625172
>ragequitting when things get too uncomfortable for you
Lmao stay sheltered little boy.

I can confirm you're correct. I'm a born and bred midwesterner, make my own sausage and sauerkraut and eat them with potatoes. I'm rather proud of the fact I'm 33.33% german, and that my uncles were in the Normandy invasion and kicked the fuck out of the fascists, so there's that.

>>10625145
Maybe you should do some investigative work and see where the biggest concentrations of german migrant heritage are in the united states. Because I think that might really blow your mind, dude.

>>10625374
Your uncles were on the wrong side of history

>>10625374
>misinterpreting the OP this badly
Yep, midwesterner sounds about right.

>>10625111
Oh wow, it's another thread where Americans willingly display their lack of culture.

>>10625111
Oh it definitely is.

Most European food is garbage. Theres a reason there are only two countries that are known for more than a single dish.

>>10625116
You're an idiot, seriously. Food quality laws exist here, if they didn't we would all be dying.

Now address the actual contents of German food. It's boring and bland like midwest food.

ITT: People discussing food of countries they've never been to. Results are as expected

I can't imagine why they would be comparable...

Nobody in this thread is actually interested in German cooking.

If anything it's /int/ you retard, and I'm sorry to break it to you but yes, culture and region is a big part of food.

>>10625111
That all looks good though

I have a copy of that from 1986, but it is in terrible condition.
Should I try to get it fixed/scan it or just get a newer edition?

>>10625374
>my uncles were in the Normandy invasion and kicked the fuck out of the fascists
No they didn't. Ze Germans were already kicking the fuck out of the (((fascists))), and our forefathers were tricked into stopping them from completing the job.

If you're making the joke about Midwestern food being bland, uncultured shit, than England or Sweden would be a better comparison.

>>10625374

>>10625374
The "Atlantic wall" was mostly manned by skeleton crew of draftees that have been deemed having too low morale to participate in active combat.

Draftees, as in people inducted into military against their will.

Your uncles literally went to Europe, to murder bunch of kids who have shown so little willingness to participate in war, that they were handed the equivalent of mop duty by the German army, to get rid of them.

There were very little "villains" in World War 2. And by year 4 of the war, they were mostly dead anyway. What was left were people who were forced to fight. "Its you or them mate, so it better be them!"

No heroes. Just a lot of men forced into meat grinder.

>>10625147

I don't know about Sweden, but English food is just crap. Midwest and German food may be bland and juvenile, but it's still largely delicious.

>>10627060
>Should I try to get it fixed/scan it or just get a newer edition?
Just get the newer edition, after 32 years of usage it has earned its rest and you have earned yourself a new book.

they're much worse

>>10625141
This. Near everyone in the Midwest comes from a line of Germans that came here in the 1700s to farm or own a lot of land. Brats, sauerkraut (although still too bitey for me personally) good beer and wine are common at many functions. It's not hard to extrapolate that a gigantic fucking migrant population can impact a regions' cuisine forever.

>>10625637

>>10629346
>they eat raw mincemeat on a slice of bread
Not a slice of bread, but a bun. And we put onions on it. It's perfection.

I wonder why German and the Midwest are similar

>>10625116
This is a straight up insane worldview that I seriously hope is a joke

>>10625111
If you don't like german quisine you're probably not white.

>>10629961

>>10625111
That's England though...

>>10629977
It's not, they really do believe that having standards makes you some kind of crazy radical

>>10628579
By that logic, the brown skinned masses in Germany are not Turkish, they're German.

What is even German cuisine at this point? They so enthusiastically embraced American cuisine post-war, and also started cooking French, Italian, and Spanish food at home soon afterwards.

>>10625116
Quite possibly the most retarded thing I've read within the past 6 months. Congratulations.

>>10629977
Not him, but he's right. In great swaths of flyover territory, the neanderthals believe any kind of food standards to ensure quality are viewed as an atheist commie conspiracy designed ultimately to take away their popguns.

>>10630290
As someone who actually lived there, let me assure you that that is an insane thing to believe

Gonna have to back this up. To see some of the cartoony ways people view midwesterners is just bizarre.

>>10630376
Asian (Chinese, Indian, Japanese, Korean, Persian) and Latin American food is categorically superior to European cooking, of which only Italian and French food is notable.

Unless of course you fancy world renown meals such as fermented fish and jelly.

>>10630184
Meat, potatoes, pickled veggies, and onions. Occasionally some gravy or w/e. So yeah, basically the midwestern food of yurop.

>>10630303
I think what these guys are trying to say is that midwesterners would rather eat cheaper meat than pay for grass fed organic wagyu, which is generally true in my experience, but is rapidly changing especially in the cities

>>10630400
The 10% of dishes worth eating in Latin America are just knockoff of the superior Spanish versions. The other 90% are just rice, beans, and sauce held together in different ways.

>>10630400
just no, they're different not superior

>>10630421

The literal state of flyovers

>>10626492
>American is a category which takes up most of many states
>American Indian a separate category

??????????????????

>>10630442
They do, though. Many of the chefs who moved from the Midwest to the coasts to start their careers have moved back to flyover land because of the ridiculous costs of living on the coasts, and they're bringing their skills and education and experience back with them. This isn't the 90s anymore, grandpa.

>>10630463
American = family has been in the country for so long that they don't care, also they were probably peasants and never kept records of that shit. Basically every single person who self-identifies as "American" is Anglo, Gaelic, or a combination.

>>10630442
>The literal state of flyovers
I'm from the East Coast, but live in Chicago now. Chicago has a world class culinary scene.

>>10630442
you're a moron

>>10630421
Midwesterners are a bit more frugal than coasties for sure, but Its not from an anti-quality mindset, its entirely a financial mindset

>>10630442
Most midwestern cities have excellent food scenes, especially in the northern parts

>>10630747
People from the coast are very sheltered when it comes to how decent food is in other parts of the country, it seems.

>>10630761
It seems most of them view the midwest as people who live on farms and shit, or in really small towns, when in fact its a very urban population, there is a bit more space between cities than in the northeast but the vast majority of the population is urban. Its like they think the Midwest is Montana but also sometimes the south when southern stereotypes fit their argument better

>>10630371

I know this is b8 but some people seriously don't know how incredibly strict US food laws and regs are.

It's like the US is to food what the UK is to thoughtcrime.
