Curry is the greatest dish of English cuisine.

[–] Johanno@feddit.org 17 points 4 days ago (4 children)

The best German dishes are Döner, Spaghetti and Lasagne.

But käsespätzle....

[–] JoeBigelow@lemmy.ca 5 points 4 days ago (3 children)

Fuckin schnitzel doesn't matter or anything!?

[–] Johanno@feddit.org 3 points 4 days ago

Well Schnitzel is in the top 10. But only the one from Vienna

[–] fibojoly@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 days ago

Schnitzel don't hold a sausage to a good Bratwurst though!

[–] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Sure it does, but the Japanese perfected it.

[–] JoeBigelow@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Somehow I completely believe that, and schnitzel and Sapporo sounds really good

[–] Ibuthyr@lemmy.wtf 1 points 4 days ago

Tonkatsu is amazing.

While I've never had the privilege of doing so in-country, it seems straightforward to make and would absolutely pair with Japanese beer*: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katsudon

* - Also something the Japanese refined from the Germans.

France favorite dish is couscous

[–] fibojoly@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Favourite? Hmm, maybe? We have many delicious local dishes, which maybe other regions don't know about. Whereas couscous is more widely spread because Maghreb immigrants are everywhere.

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Yup, but somehow couscous is the top 4 🤷

[–] moakley@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Nah, Germany has the best sausage.

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 1 points 4 days ago (2 children)

199398500A is the only one popular abroad tbh

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 1 points 3 days ago

TIL about the Volkswagen sausage.

[–] moakley@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

More popular than bratwurst? I guess maybe that could be true somewhere, but I've never heard of that VW sausage before, and I've had bratwurst many, many times outside of Germany.

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 2 points 3 days ago

I'm just kidding. Everyone who took German instead of Russian in school knows about bratwurst at least. But very few places around me serve it. VW Currywurst is more famous among car guys, but it's because of the meme status rather than how good it is or isn't.

However grilled sausage is super popular here and it's not too different from bratwurst I guess. We're very fond of grilling here, personally I usually spend all 3 days of summer on grilling and alcohol.

[–] Ibuthyr@lemmy.wtf 1 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Nah, the Spanish and Italians have way better sausages.

[–] fibojoly@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 days ago

Eh what? Not the same kind of sausages I think. Spain and Italy have the dry meat type and Germany has the uncooked type. Very different culinary experiences. I tend to agree with you though.

[–] moakley@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

I don't like fennel.

[–] fishy@lemmy.today 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

In Japan they consider curry a European dish, so you're not really wrong.

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 1 points 3 days ago

That’s cos the British took curry to japan and the japanese adapted a local curry sauce from it. Katsu is a japanisation of “cut” - as in cut chicken.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 0 points 4 days ago (1 children)

What about doner kebab and garlic sauce?

[–] fibojoly@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 days ago

That's German! /s
