The best German dishes are Döner, Spaghetti and Lasagne.

Fuckin schnitzel doesn't matter or anything!?

[–] fibojoly@sh.itjust.works 1 points 18 hours ago

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

[–] Johanno@feddit.org 3 points 1 day ago

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

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

Sure it does, but the Japanese perfected it.

[–] JoeBigelow@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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

[–] Ibuthyr@lemmy.wtf 1 points 1 day 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.

Nah, Germany has the best sausage.

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

199398500A is the only one popular abroad tbh

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 1 points 11 hours ago

TIL about the Volkswagen sausage.

[–] moakley@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day 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 1 points 7 hours 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 1 day ago (2 children)

Nah, the Spanish and Italians have way better sausages.

[–] fibojoly@sh.itjust.works 1 points 18 hours 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 1 day ago

I don't like fennel.

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

France favorite dish is couscous

[–] fibojoly@sh.itjust.works 1 points 18 hours 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 17 hours ago

Yup, but somehow couscous is the top 4 🤷
