As a German, I think it's sad that young people are so eager to forget that their own country actually has great dishes that are actually German. Some of my favorite foods are German. Just because not everybody eats like that nowadays doesn't mean it isn't German cuisine or that German cuisine doesn't exist. Looking at that list, there's a lot of German dishes that I love to eat when I get the chance. There's nothing stereotypical about it.
- matt4077 8y agoIf a local specialty doesn’t become global, there’s a reason for that. In any case, I never made the sort of value statement you seem to react to. I simply pointed out there’s a difference between “traditional, German food” and “food eaten in Germany”. If you don’t trust my assessment that pizza or pasta are more popular than Sauerkraut, just check the space each are afforded in retail stores, or the number of restaurants in these categories.
- jplayer01 8y agoIf you take "what locals eat" literally, the site would just be a big list of burgers from McDonalds. That's missing the point though. It's about local cuisine. Why bother with a German list if all you want to put in it is pizza and Döner.
