This person clearly has no taste

I get highlighting England for the meme (though the modern UK has some of the best food culture in the world)

But Germany, Belgium, Denmark & Austria? I'm sorry, OP clearly has never travelled outside their hometown and eaten nothing but white bread.

UK has good food culture, yes, but clearly indian inspired recipes shouldn't count as british food.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 4 points 2 days ago

It's the Germanic countries, simple as.

Swede here. Before we imported potatoes in the late 1700s all we had were beets. Just beets. Beets everywhere.

What did you expect.

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 2 days ago

that's not fair, we had parsnips too, which are honestly pretty alright. It's like fibrous less sweet carrots.

And alcohol. And trees, darkness, cold, mud, did I mention darkness?

Bears and battlestar Galactica as well?

Also german food is not that dire. What's wrong with minced pork sandwiches, kale stew and breaded sausage?

[-] gazter@aussie.zone 17 points 2 days ago

What happened to everywhere on the planet apart from Germany to make bread so dire?

I could eat different German breads every day for a week, and not be bored.

[-] flamingos@feddit.uk 3 points 1 day ago

Tiger bread slander.

[-] Maalus@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

You get bread from a small bakery instead of a huge chain, you get exactly the same thing. Shit's so great you can eat it without anything on it and it still is good / not boring.

And Schnitzel, I love a good Schnitzel!

Plus Sauerkraut is the most versatile and delicious thing ever.

I eat sauerkraut from the jar with a fork.

Then I drink the brine.

I'll totally agree with Norway. Did a 3 week road trip from Oslo to Å and back this summer. Got sick of hamburgers, pizza, and fake "kebabs" real fast. I expected to be eating so much fresh fish, but it was fairly rare to find. Best meal I had was a Thai "restaurant" attached to a one pump gas station in the middle of nowhere run by the sweetest Thai grandma. It took some back and forth to convince her I wasn't Norwegian and wanted actual Thai spicy. And it was excellent.

Also love shading the Faroes and Shetland specifically. That’s very funny. It’s a couple of archipelagos in the sea. In the howling North Sea at that. They’re tiny islands not known for agricultural bounty. How much culinary choice do you think they historically had? They aren’t exactly growing pineapples up there. Of course it’s all fish and dried mutton.

[-] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 15 points 2 days ago

I'd heard the slander about Irish food but when I visited I had beef and Guinness pies, spiced stuffed mushrooms and herbaceous handmade brats.

also had a potato chip butter sandwich, but I was quite deep in the cups by that point and it tasted great.

could not complain.

haven't been to Britain yet.

This whole food thing. It's so subjective. How has it reached this stage? 😄😄

I'm a proud Celt! Fuck them Anglo-Saxons!

Genetic testing kicks down the door

[-] The_Walkening@hexbear.net 8 points 2 days ago

At the very least the Scots know that deep-frying stuff makes it better even it was kinda dire to begin with.

[-] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Full Welsh Breakfast adds cockles and it’s actually really great.

Obviously Scottish has lorne sausage and (often) haggis, and the Ulster fry has white pudding and farl bread. I’m so hungry.

Why those 2 specific small areas of Finland?

[-] flamingos@feddit.uk 21 points 2 days ago

I believe this is just a map of Germanic peoples.

[-] Zip2@feddit.uk 8 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Thanks for pointing that out.

However it didn’t answer my question and I’m now heading down a google rabbit hole to find out if it’s a mistake on the map or something far more historically interesting.

Edit: nothing interesting, just the territorially defined Swedish language area.

This is racism against the Irish

[-] neidu2@feddit.nl 3 points 2 days ago

Fuck you, more Pinnekjøtt and Fårikål for me

[-] ben_dover@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 days ago

Austrian food is pretty much enjoyable. Irish food on the other hand... 🙄
