I think it's more likely to expect the changes to be largely generational. That's how most dietary trends change. I give my kids less meat than my parents did, and they'll probably give their kids even less. The other piece

What is cultural is how much meat eating seems reasonable. I love meat, but both my own ethics and those of my social group basically tell me not to eat too much of it. Same for say, something like drinking beer. People like beer. But d

Those are only universal because they were so successful. The things that are most universal in the US are also the ones that have been the most exported. Hamburgers and fried chicken weren't common in Europe before the US was involv

While your list is true, it's not a great list to make your case. One responder said that the hamburger and hotdog don't fit, because they're German, but that's only appreciably true for the hotdog (which is effectively

That's a pretty bonkers statement. Cilantro is much more used worldwide (by about an order of magnitude). They look very similar, but don't taste anything alike. You might as well say basil is better than oregano. It's ju

Just on a practical note, if you're looking to buy dry beans in Germany, every Turkish supermarket has a whole aisle dedicated to them. You can get a couple dozen kinds of dry beans there, including pinto. Most organic grocery stores

A contributing factor in that is that Germans eat less and less traditionally German food. I'm wondering if fries are counted among the processed potatoes (I suspect so), as those are seemingly – like in many places – the most commonl

In general, most cuisines and culinary trends are far more modern than we tend to assume. Until the last 3-ish centuries: Italy didn't have tomatoes or basil. Nor was there corn for polenta. India didn't have chilies. The Iris

This isn't dead reckoning: there have been multiple attempts to domesticate zebras and dogs, and it's worked twice with dogs and zero times with zebras, thus, yes, one can say that wolves are approximately ideal. It just turns o

The computer my family bought about 1-2 years before Doom came out (and which I eventually played Doom on) had Soundblaster, stereo speakers, SVGA, a CD-ROM drive. I feel like folks are mixing up eras a bit here.

I think you read more into my initial point than I was trying to say -- there are two things: - PCs were always used for games (softening that: at least by the 286 era that was already true) - By 1993 PCs were also designed with games in m

I'm not saying PCs were especially good for games, but that that was one of the main things they were bought and used for, at least at home. Again, we're talking 90s, not 80s. By the 1993, Windows had already won, and a home com

That's not really true. The era of IBM designing computers was like the 8086 era. Clones were already dominant by the time the 286 came out, and Doom came out about half a year after the Pentium, or 586. That was very far into the e

Are you a musician? Have you ever used a site like this? My comments are literally based on the disappointments in using similar sites in the past. Most people don't add audio. Profiles without audio are useless. Making (and possib

I've used sites that are trying something similar to find bands in the past. So I think I'm pretty close to the target market (or have been in my past). I don't want to post bass-player-looking-for-band on Craigslist or suc

Those are probably all listed in Lonely Planet at this point. Renate and Butkze had stints as scene clubs, but that was like 15 years ago when they were illegal. Sisphyos still has some scene-y-ness, but is a mix of tourists and locals.

Potsdam has almost exactly the same GDP per capita as Berlin (€45,378 vs. €45,074) and is ranked only 63rd highest GDP per capita of the 110 large-ish cities in Germany. I'm not convinced. ;-)
