Welcome to YUROP
The Ultimate Eurozone of Culture, Chaos, and Continental Excellence

A glorious gathering place to celebrate (and lovingly roast) the lands, peoples, quirks, and contradictions of Her Most Magnificent Europa. From the fjords to the Med, the steppes to the Atlantic spray, this is a shrine to everything that makes Europe gloriously weird, wonderfully diverse, and occasionally passive-aggressive in 24 languages.

Here we toast:
πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Ί The progressive Union of Peace (and paperwork)
πŸ§€ The freest of health care
🍷 The finest of foods
πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ The liberalest of liberties
🌍 The proud non-members and honorary cousins πŸ’Ά And the eternal dance of unity, confusion, and cultural banter.

Post memes, news, satire, linguistic wars, train maps, cursed food photos, Eurovision fever, propaganda and whatever makes you scream β€œonly in YUROP.”

Leave your stereotypes at the border control and enjoy the ride.

Have we? Is that a thing we do, put syrup on our pancakes? Not that I'm against trying :)

[–] rollerbang@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

That's what I've been wondering too. Wee certainly don't have any "relationship" with maple syrup. It's just EU tryiny to confirm ties with Canada.

Thick breakfast pancakes are just not the same without it! Can't go back.

I wouldn't necessarily put maple syrup on a crepe, but I'm sure it can be negotiated.

A maple syrup crepe can be absolutely magnificent. I suggest trying one. Or one made with maple sugar.

I was planning on playing hard to get, but that does sound delicious.

In Germany definitely. We love our apple pancakes specifically

[–] ragepaw@lemmy.ca 5 points 5 days ago

My wife and I visited Germany 3 years ago and had apple pancakes. Absolutely incredible.

But honestly, all of the food we had in Germany was great. I know it's Frankfurt specific, but my wife got addicted to grΓΌne sauce and is upset she can't get it in Canada. After the speech yesterday, one of the first things she said to me was, "Does this mean we'll be able to get grΓΌne sauce in Canada?"

I'm German, apples in pancakes are obvious. Just haven't had any syrup of any kind on them. Guess I'm the weird one out then.

[–] Zwiebel@feddit.org 1 points 3 days ago

Idk maybe it's a regional thing or just my family that always had maple syrup in the fridge

[–] napoleonsdumbcousin@feddit.org 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Southern german here. I have never seen pancakes with syrup either. But around here you are not even getting pancakes anywhere anyway. It's always CrΓͺpes or Kaiserschmarrn instead.

[–] Zwiebel@feddit.org 2 points 3 days ago

Kaiserschmarrn is goated tho

But isn't that usually sugar beet syrup?

[–] crandall@lemmy.today 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I can't imagine voluntarily eating a pancake with no syrup

[–] atopi@piefed.blahaj.zone 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I dont understand how people can eat something so sweet

[–] crandall@lemmy.today 2 points 5 days ago

It is really sweet, so you want to control the volume. But dry pancakes? You'll choke to death!
