Is it all just sausages and beer?

They eat sauerkraut sandwiches.

German here. Look it up on Wikipedia, then come back and ask your questions.

In all fairness, Jack is a retard my kraut friend.

German restaurant I frequent in the US run by Germans has good food. Schnitzels, all sorts of sausages and some meat stews, the food is slightly heavy fatty, but drinking beer with it goes very well. The sides with the dishes are pretty good varieties on cabbage, potatoes and stuff like that, nothing done too crazy, tried lots of food, nothing struck me as unsatisfactory It's not refined cuisine, but it's somewhat simple efficient to the point. My favorite cake is German, Black Forest Cake.

Pose your questions in regards to German food, American.

I visited Munich last spring and my favourite dish had to be the Schweinshaxe. I can see how eating Bavarian food would make you gain like 50 pounds fast however

>>7485321
Bavaria used to be a rural state. The composition of most traditional food items (pork, potatoes, cabbage, kraut) still represents it. Compare it to the bible belt in the US with their equally heavy if not heavier food items.

>>7485326
Not saying theres anything wrong with the food. The food I ate there is probably some of my favourite. Perfection with Augistiner Keller and potato dumplings

Kebab and schwarma

what do the africans and syrians like to eat?

>>7485331
I was not insinuating you said anything was wrong with it. Augustiner is unironically the most popular beer with Bavarians. I usually go for the regular Vollbier.

Different regions have different specialties, just like here in the US.
And, most of the food that people think of when they think of German food is Bavarian, but that represents only a small taste of what Germany has to offer.

>>7485334
Sand and bomb shards.

>>7485335
I tried at least 6+ different beers while I was there, Augustiner was just coincidentally my favourite and the most popular. What other German foods would you recommend to try? What is your favourite

>>7485340
There are heaps of good beers. Ask ten Bavarians what their favorite beer is and you would most likely get 10 different answers as there are still lots of local breweries, not even counting the microbreweries.

If we're talking old timey Bavarian foods (yeah, some should rather be called "southern German" or "originally austrian" but I'm not gonna go fully autism here), here you go. Braten stands for roast.
- Schweinebraten with potato dumplings
- Sauerbraten with bread dumplings and currant jam
- Obatzda with Brezen (a cream cheese mixture, served with raw onions, typical beergarden food)
- Käsespätzle (compare it to mac n cheese), combine it with apple chutney and lots of roasted onions
- Pork Schnitzel, obviously, with potato salad
- Schupfnudeln (thick potato noodles) with bacon, onion and sauerkraut
- Rindsrouladen (beef rolls, there are different recipes for them)
- Steckerlfisch (it's fish on a fucking stick)
- Leberknödelsuppe is a favorite (liver dumpling soup)
- Zwetschendatschi as a dessert (plum pie, basically)

Just from the top of my head. And jeez, there are thousands of types of sausages. Everybody knows weißwurst, obviously but I think pretty much every town has their own types. Quite honestly, in my opinion theyre pretty much all the same (just like bavarian cuisine is mostly meat, potatoes and cabbage) but then, I'm not an autist about it. Oh well.

Try to get your hands on some regional Starkbiers. The ones that end with "-or".

>>7485354
plz send me some

>unironically drinking hipster fuel

Nah.

>>7485316
What? Like how you all suck Turk Kebabs? You forgot to mention how much Germans love Turk kebabs stuffed in their holes, but stay stuck on stupid posting videos.

Anyone have a favourite spätzle sauce?

>>7485386
Spätzle Sauce?

I'm the cook in the family. I prepare all meals. Everyone is banned from my kitchen unless they are bee-lining back and forth to the refrigerator or pantry for snacks.

My wife invited clients from Germany over since we live on a lake and have a nice picture window facing it. Mountains in the background, pine trees, fresh fruit borne - a real All American sight.

Since I'm such a pig head in the kitchen, my instructions were to cook German food. Okay. No problem. I don't know shit about German food but I know the universal rule - simple and stereotypical always works. I bought a lot of dark stout beer, I fried potatoes cubes and made some outstanding, enormous schnitzel.

Here's the trick - feed them as much alcohol as you can before dinner and everything they eat is the best thing they ever tasted. After that night, I believe I was more of a diplomat to my wife's company than she was.

>>7485401
That's an impressive story. Ever thought about becoming a professional writer?

What do you think of König Ludwig Weissbier?

>>7485401

>invite foreigners over to your house for an all american experience
>cook them the same shitty food they're already used to, and which you have no experience cooking

>>7485506
Literally tourist tier.

>>7485401
>Germans
>stereotypical dark stout beer

>>7485366
haha when I saw these in europe I was really confused

I see now that it means "mate extract soda"

but I didn't know what mate was, in australia mate is your friend, and a club is a discoteque

so I thought it was meant to be drank in discoteques, and I was like wat

>>7485401
>I'm the cook in the family. I prepare all meals. Everyone is banned from my kitchen unless they are bee-lining back and forth to the refrigerator or pantry for snacks.

God I fucking HATE people like you.
You are undoubtedly a mediocre 'chef' who doesn't use spices, doesn't know how to prepare normal portions, and gets cook books for his birthday that he doesn't read. I bet your spice 'rack' looks like a collection of spices purchased by a man with alzheimers who doesn't know where the spices are stocked in Wal Mart and who didn't have enough money for spices, only salt and BBQ rub. You fucking arrogant cunt, you are just scared that any member of your family could outcook you and expose your hilarious mediocrity. You probably just fucking put some pepper on a bratwurst and called it german food you fucking piece of shit. I bet you think sesame oil is the same as vegetable oil.

>>7485261
Its like Czech food but worse.
Their sausages are best tho

>>7485366
the drink of the gods. I wouldn't have a M.Sc. now if it wasn't for Club Mate

German food is pretty shit

Czechs and Poles make better food

>>7485261
The closest thing we get here in Italy is Lidl.

German food.

>>7485760
Not a good bratwurst, also shit tier mustard.

>>7485659
I'm going to safely wager that your mom wouldn't let you touch anything in the kitchen.

>>7485524
I bet it is peaceful being that simple minded. Is it?

>>7485326
did that make anyone else a little randy?

This webm has got me wet down there

his confidence and how he just goes in for it

>>7485616
In Clubs you order mate peng
You get a club mate, take a big sip and they refill it with vodka.

>>7485401
I've been meaning to say this, but after last night, I believe I was more of a diplomat to your wife than you were :^)

Does this count? I really want one tbqhwyf

>>7485264

what more do you really need?

Dane here, Dear Germans, why are your hotdog buns so shitty? why do you like them hard and so small? please explain it makes no sense

Holy hell, that looks delicious. Does Denmark do hotdogs a lot? Are they your drunk food?

>>7485907

>>7486857
>tomato sauce
You're just as bad as the murricans

>>7486899
MEIN BURGER!

>>7485261
My Oma made rouladen and red cabbage that I loved.

And her vinegar cucumber salad. Fuck that stuff was addictive.

>>7485334
Syrians like to eat a lot of pulse based dishes, especially from chickpeas and fava beans, hence food like falafel and foul. Also shawarma, dolma and goat's cheeses are popular.

As for Africa, that's a bit of a broad spectrum, although I know sweet potatoes are popular out there.

>>7485907
>>his confidence.
he jerked with amused shame in the last bit of the frame. and while I am a lesbian and think you are fucking nuts, I am still pretty damn convinced that that second in particular is what really made you feel like that, as people are generally attracted to others who show embarrassment big time.

>>7485557
>>7485401

>>7486919
>EIN VOLK EIN REICH EIN BURGER

>>7486955

>>7486874

Looks like someone already ate it.

>>7485266

>>7485266
You know, Aldo, the sauerkraut was around long before the fascism and genocide. It's okay. You can have some sauerkraut.

>>7485401
>dark stout
>German

>>7486562
THIS IS TURBOMATE YOU NORMIE

>>7488544
I like Krautspätzle more, but those are still in my top 10.

>>7486874
It's usually the meal I always make when I have no clue on what to make for dinner. Easy and they taste fucking great.

>>7486828
It's not that great. Also german Mcd is overpriced as all fuck, you might as well got to a proper local restaurant.

Delicious Radler, so refreshing.
Too bad I'm on a diet and minimizing liquid calories. Cheat day s-soon.

>>7491115
I didn't know Rothaus is doing Radler! Will try to get my filthy hands on this next weekend.

Food is shit that's why they only focus on working hard

>>7486929

Dunno if you heard but Germany lost the war rofl

>>7492576
Not before we took your dignity with us :)

germans like to eat kebab

>>7486935
I like the budget ones more, honestly.

German here.
Austrian cuisine is better in almost every regard. Except for Austrian beer.

>>7492563
Absolutely not,
I really like germans and their country but your food is one of the worst of the west... sorry.

>>7488613
Northern Germany knows comfy winters food to stay warm with.

>>7492478

eh

>>7485268

walla

>>7485261
I must say when I visited Germany their quality of meats was awesome. Those krauts know how to shove meat into sleeves.

This is from one of my favourite restaurants nearby. Their stuff is great and they're pretty big on local resources too.

>>7489037
my bad, i stick to beer when i'm going to clubs

>>7493032

That looks spectacular

Most jelly, I am
