People get very passionate about food from their culture because it’s one of the very first markers of identity and is closely tied with the most basic aspects of who we are.
I wish you a happy heavenly fährt, or as one of my students once translated; Jesus Sky Drive.
Nah, I’d take a diss about food culture from almost any country in the world. But not from a Brit. This is dead serious stuff.
Oh, Christi Himmelfarht, I’d forgotten about that, or more the associated Vatertag (Father’s Day).
I’ve just been walking with the dog in the forest and it is already full of pissed up men with beer carts.
Vatertag - forestry and beer.
So the consensus seems to be that both British as well as German food is crap ?
That said , I do think German food is much more interesting than British food.
Why?
Both have their good points and bad points. Germany is yet to discover the joys of pies, for example, but they could teach the Brits a lot about bread.
I don’t think there’s a lot of difference. My Desi missus much prefers the food in the UK. She’s constantly going on about pies and fish and chips in a way that is baffling to me.
I was being sarcastic.
So was he.
Oh, I’d never swap out German bakers. The cakes are pretty special as well.
I totally get your wife. When my family come to visit are the same. They love English food, Yorkshire pudding, Shepherds pie and Fish and chips is a must have. It’s like a special delicacy. Also scones and tea.
We love the English puddings and fruit pies
Sarcasm on the internet is wonderful! Everyone loves it and it never goes wrong.
Oh, if only there was more of that marvellous internet sarcasm, the world would be a happier place, poverty would end, and war would be banished into history.
Hurrah for sarcasm!
the toad-in-the-hole I had in London was everything I’d hoped for…
Following on from another thread, how many of our German friends are going to continue following Liverpool Football Club now that Herr Klopp is off?
It would be a shame if TAN lost so many valuable contributors.
Well, I am originally from Liverpool and a lifelong Liverpool fan so I won’t be going anywhere soon.
You’re not proper German, so your opinion is invalid. 
I hope the ones that have lasted all stay.
@DortmundFan was fucking hard work, but apart from him the rest of the Germans I have found to be decent lot
Better than the fucking convicts, that’s for sure.
It’s what I do.
But your name is Cynical Old Git, not Mean Old Git.
