Barbarian food honestly. Austrian food mogs in every way.

Probably because they have never actually been there. Every memorable meal I've had was either in Germany or Italy. A few good french ones but honestly Germany took the cake. Switzerland kinda sucked, I feel like the Swiss deserve the reputation german food gets. I like their cheese okay but it's a little bland.

Austrians make the best sweets and general cafe stuff. Picrel is actually good as its reputation.

Best part about visiting Germany was the bread. American bread is a so bad, and every train station had a bread shop/ deli that utterly buried anything I could get from a non specialty baker. Hell, the Aldi in downtown Munich spit out a croissant from a bread vending machine that was still top 10

In recipes I've done that look similar there's often a kind of vinegar or butter based glaze on them.

Butter and parsley and common but only if you serve them plain. For sauces you don't drown them in fat because the sauces wouldn't stick to them properly.

As a German, our food doesn't really have a "wow" factor to it, it's usually fairly plain but tasty and a lot of the time rustic. One thing I've missed since moving to midwest Germany is kale which I often had in the north where I grew up. Not as common here

Six million Jews.
That's how many died in the holocaust.

Six million. I'd like you to say it. Now. Six million Jews died in the holocaust.

And you're actually promoting German cuisine.

Plain boiled (steamed) fresh potatoes are the best.

>> No.17668664

>>17668628
can't say I have but my experience with North Atlantic eel in general has been quite nice. Maybe the actual frying process releases stinkies, or maybe it's some gross freshwater eel that would and should taste like trash and sulphur. If it's Atlantic eel it's a very mild flavour and not offensive at all, so much so that it needs lots of salt and ürbs to taste like much of anything

I think this is the /actual/ criticism people have of German food. It's hard to take a picture of it sometimes. But that's not what food is for anyway.
