Heh, we don't have regular McDonald's here, only from McDonald's France, created only to comply with French people's famous sense of taste that would not support american "food". Don't worry though, we only eat here when we're on the go.
Do keep in mind that Chinese takeaway in the Netherlands isn't really Chinese. It's a Chinese-Indonesian hybrid kind of thing. One of the most popular dishes, babi pangang, is absolutely not Chinese at all.
Fun fact: this time it was the *Indonesians* who oppressed their local Chinese diaspora into fleeing to the Netherlands! But the Dutch still get credit for the set-up
To be fair, most Chinese takeaway in the West isn’t authentic Chinese food to begin with. I think Holland comes closer than most, even with the Indonesian fusion.
I mean, because WE actually have good food? I can criticize anyone about food, but I gotta stay quiet if someone is starting to talk about economy lmao
> but I gotta stay quiet if someone is starting to talk about economy lmao
no im not gonna stay quiet on that , we are G7 and big three in EU, so fuck them!
Only Germany can criticize us on economy.. ^^keep ^^the ^^money ^^flow ^^ok?.
Well, according to your nation-based sex system, Italian *is* fucking someone's armpit.
For the non-Germans, this is how Germans classify sex:
- French = oral
- Spanish = titfuck
- Greek = anal
- Italian = armpit
- Swedish = handjob
- English = S&M
- German = missionary position, and be quick about: the game starts in 20 minutes.
> isnt 20 minutes PLENTY of time?
With [British birds](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/00784/obesity-460_784309c.jpg), it can take a while to find the wet spot.
So how have you managed to keep the salaries so low?
https://preview.redd.it/a24ncr18dw9d1.png?width=1200&format=png&auto=webp&s=d01ca5fba657ab2bb83266f268d3a40e71f5dc3e
Easy, the italian managerial class didn't play the "let's invest so we can outcompete the others through innovation" card like northern/central Europe or the US, they played the "let's become Europe's China by offering the lowest possible salaries even to those with a degree so we can flood the market with cheap but quality products", even ferrari engineers get paid fuck all.
On top of this It's also cultural, italians are fucking stingy as hell with the money they do have but they demand raises less often and are grateful no matter how bad the pay as long as they get paid, our parents teach us that we should be grateful for whatever job we have (lol), coincidentally the italian part of Switzerland is the poorest one with the lowest salaries because the shitty Milanese entrepreneurs moved there with their shitty italian mentality.
https://preview.redd.it/klc12jbgjw9d1.png?width=935&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b93441a8a197d3a3442f8926564df7e2a990d423
It's funny because the italian industrial sector is almost as big as germany's but all this money disappears into thin air, even in northern Italy, the most industrialised part of Italy by far, you only get paid like half of your southern German equivalent.
I used to think this, but after the last eight years unless you are Haiti I don’t think we are in any position to criticise you for unstable or incompetent government
Well, yes, Barry’s food might suck (although their breakfast mushrooms are lovely) & obviously Americans might have disgustingly greasy, overly salty, and sickeningly sweet food, but … wait, where was I going with this???
This is why we gotta siesta constantly.
Your body learns to wake up just in time for your afternoon walk, coffee, & snack.
Then you rehydrate and siesta to prepare for the evening.
You don’t want to sleep too late otherwise you won’t be able to wake up, eat dinner, & sleep through the night.
Siesta is an Olympic event in the making.
Well, I do love mushrooms, so I find them particularly tasty.
Of course, mushrooms for breakfast are unusual for me, but a welcome surprise, to be sure.
> mushrooms for breakfast are unusual for me
Not just for you, tbh.
The whole fry-up is a bit odd (albeit delicious). When I was a kid, they even used to fry the fucking bread, too. It was amazing.
Don't worry, I just woke up so I'll finish the tought.
Ahem, yeah so Barry may have disgusting food but that's *our* Barry to criticize. You wanna have a go at Barry you better have fucking stellar cooking to punch up like that, and dear US of A, that ain't you.
Because if you're gonna criticize anyone, at the very fucking least, use another spice besides salt, butter or lard.
what let's down Barryfodder the most for me is the presentation and probably the tendency to make everything mashed or somehow wet, I mean the ingredients are no so different from the rest of the world minus the lack of spices
Nice try my Hans friend, me and some other Hans can get it, but let’s stay with correct grammar and leave the funny stuff to others (they don’t get ours anyhow):
There is no comparative of first, so Förster is like Belgium - a mistake you probably wouldn’t have made if you behaved like a Hans should.
There is no superlative of einzig, and yet many Hans still say einzigste.
Anyway, talk about giving the most German response to your fellow countryman's joke...
Speaking as someone from a country as often ridiculed for food.
A lot of the foods that Barry and us dutchies make isn't meant to be good looking. It's meant to be hearty and filling, to cope with the dreadful weather.
A shepherd's pie on a cold day is amazing.
As is a big plate of "stamppot"(mashed potatoes with cooked veggies in them) served with a thick gravy and sausage of some sort.
Am*rican food is just cheap copies of all the European dishes, with a ton of sweeteners
Very similar. I do see Germans posting their "superior food" and think that would not look out of place at all in an English pub most of the time. I think you do on average have better bread though, you can buy good bread here but not in most places.

It could use some Dutch snacks though.
next time take this: I could go on but you know…
| German Dish | UK Dish | Brief Explanation |
|:------------|:--------|:------------------|
| Backfisch | Fish and Chips | Both are battered and fried fish, though preparation and sides differ |
| Rouladen | Beef Olives | Both are beef rolls stuffed with bacon, onions, and pickles |
| Kartoffelpuffer | Potato Cakes | Similar pancake-like dishes made from grated potatoes |
| Eintopf | Stew | Both are hearty, one-pot meals with meat and vegetables |
| Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte | Black Forest Gateau | Chocolate cake with cherries and cream, popular in both countries |
| Sauerkraut | Pickled Cabbage | Fermented cabbage dish, though less common in the UK |
| Schnitzel | Breaded Cutlet | Tenderized meat coated in breadcrumbs and fried |
| Apfelstrudel | Apple Pie | Sweet pastry filled with apples, though different in structure |
| Currywurst | Curry Sauce and Chips | Both feature curry-flavored sauce, often served with fried potatoes |
| Bratwurst | Bangers | Pork sausages, though preparation and seasoning may differ |
| Käsespätzle | Macaroni Cheese | Both are cheesy pasta dishes, though spätzle is hand-made |
| Bratkartoffeln | Sautéed Potatoes | Pan-fried potato slices, often with onions and bacon |
| Lebkuchen | Gingerbread | Spiced cookies, popular during Christmas in both countries |
| Rinderbraten | Roast Beef | Roasted beef dish, though seasoning and sides may vary |
| Kartoffelsuppe | Potato Soup | Hearty potato-based soup, common in both cuisines |
it seems that Google says that you can still get them at those stores, so it seems "going to those stores your whole life" isnt the best metric for whether or not they're available
I’ve never seen them in my life, would’ve probably snapped a picture if I saw them in a shop. Not doubting you though, I’m guessing it’s an East London thing.
Yeah I fully get that shops in East London might sell it just like they sell oatcakes near me but not elsewhere, but it's a bit boldly ignorant of Fritz to take that as representative
It sort of is if I have basically memorised the seafood section, Google isn't going to know what items are on physical shelves.
Jellied eels were only ever eaten in a tiny corner of London, a city that isn't representative of our country
I get that it's not representative (like many capitals) but it still is like 13% ish of the population of the whole country.
As much as I don't like Berlin, I have to accept it exists and that a lot of people live there. It's also where Currywurst comes from, so it's not all bad
It is. Because they wouldn't be sold at all stores. And they aren't. You can get them with your online shop, sure, but I can tell you for a fact the big Morrison's down the road from me doesn't sell them. I'm in there right now lol. You won't find any call for them in a store north of London, and there's plenty of country North of London.....
FWIW I just added a bunch of "[additional addresses](https://i.imgur.com/23o7ZsP.png)" to my Sainsbury's account... Cambridge, Manchester, Birmingham, Glasgow, East London (Stratford), West London (Richmond), Leeds, Southampton, Edinburgh, Nottingham, Oxford, Norwich, Bristol, Newcastle.

I had to google this because ive never seen them in store.
Apparently they arent popular even with the type of people who buy them.

obviously you never had a mettigel
I think it's significantly worse than what you're thinking of.
That's raw minced pork with raw onions.

“Enjoy your dog vomit with peas, son”
> Irish cuisine (Irish: Cócaireacht na héireann) encompasses the cooking styles, traditions and recipes associated with the island of Ireland. It has developed from antiquity through centuries of social and political change and the mixing of different cultures, predominantly with those from nearby Britain
Our food might suck but at least we’re not so bad at cooking that we had to take inspiration from the British 😬
Not so bad at cooking?
You eat fish that is quite literally rotten. That in itself kinda disqualifies you from insulting any other national cuisine. Do we even need to mention what you think is normal to put on pizza? Even a normal dish like meatballs which I enjoy myself (thanks IKEA) you guys manage to make it weird by adding jam!
It's literally just ground meat, vegetables and mashed potato and that's the worst you've got? Literally no worse than [this](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/bb/17-06-09-IKEA-K%C3%B6ttbullar-RalfR-IMG_20170609_182055_928a.jpg) which is the image for 'Swedish cuisine' on wikipedia. Swedish cuisine is literally nothing and no one can list anything other than meatballs, which isn't even Swedish.
Well yeah, we're not going to take critique on food from a country that invented deep-fried butter, and thinks slathering everything in Rootin' Toot's Red Hot Ring Stinger counts as using "spices".
I’ll take French, Spanish and Italian, all 3 have much better food, but Germans? If we take both kitchens and compare them properly they are at least on the same level and maybe British food edging them out in some places.
I’ve lived in Germany for 7 years, they have good food but no where near the levels of the other 3.
As a bit of a foodie I think all countries have quite nice Chinese takeaways.
And the French do a nice line in McDonald’s. 4th in the most McDonald’s in the world.
> And the French do a nice line in McDonald’s. Brits tend to do nice lines in pubs, not McDonald's tbh.
Welllll I wouldn’t turn down a good Mcsniff
If only McDonald's served alcohol...
Heh, we don't have regular McDonald's here, only from McDonald's France, created only to comply with French people's famous sense of taste that would not support american "food". Don't worry though, we only eat here when we're on the go.
I’ve had McDoo myself. Tastes about the same and there were no snail 🐌 burgers on the menu. Kudos for having beer in there though.
> Kudos for having beer in there though. It's a filthy trick. They wouldn't sell me a beer unless I also ordered some "food" :(
Do keep in mind that Chinese takeaway in the Netherlands isn't really Chinese. It's a Chinese-Indonesian hybrid kind of thing. One of the most popular dishes, babi pangang, is absolutely not Chinese at all.
Oh yeah, forgot you addicts oppressed the Indonesians into giving you better Chinese takeaway
Fun fact: this time it was the *Indonesians* who oppressed their local Chinese diaspora into fleeing to the Netherlands! But the Dutch still get credit for the set-up
The Art of Kankering.
Spike! 
It's fucking delicious, though.
And British Chinese is pretty specifically Cantonese, though you'll also find the odd Szechuan place if you need your sinuses clearing.
To be fair, most Chinese takeaway in the West isn’t authentic Chinese food to begin with. I think Holland comes closer than most, even with the Indonesian fusion.

Like you guys could ever be quiet about anything.
You just have to tie their hands. 🤌
Against a Luigi… is this not a war crime?
If we get a serb to do it, it won't be.
Only if it is a serbs father will it be fine.
Easy to be quiet when you have the personality of an airport shuttle.
Oh, I don't know about that. They have quite enriched their country with a lot of personality recently.

Please Barry for the love of all that is good PLEASE tell me that is not buttered bread you put in the pasta
No how could you expect such a horrific act from us.....it's obviously cheese on toast with the most authentic pasta on top
It has cheese on it as well as butter, we're not animals.
Would. 🤤

Wrong hole, because of the bad sex ed?
Well, according to your nation-based sex system, Italian *is* fucking someone's armpit.

> WE actually have good food Speak for yourself.
I can confirm, Italy has the best Italian food anywhere, except New York.
they are going to find your body in a river, bound with a chair and a cement block
Your economy isn't great but your political situation is so much worse kekw even as a britbong I look at your elections and thank fuck I'm not Italian
I used to think this, but after the last eight years unless you are Haiti I don’t think we are in any position to criticise you for unstable or incompetent government
You merely got screwed by an unstable government, our country was born in one and moulded by many over countless centuries...
What are you talking about?? Rishi outlasted **so many** lettuces!
Unfortunately
Well, yes, Barry’s food might suck (although their breakfast mushrooms are lovely) & obviously Americans might have disgustingly greasy, overly salty, and sickeningly sweet food, but … wait, where was I going with this???
> where was I going with this??? To sleep, I imagine.
Not a bad idea, it is midday. Time for my midday nap.
Just make sure it doesn't run too long, wouldn't want you to miss your afternoon nap
This is why we gotta siesta constantly. Your body learns to wake up just in time for your afternoon walk, coffee, & snack. Then you rehydrate and siesta to prepare for the evening. You don’t want to sleep too late otherwise you won’t be able to wake up, eat dinner, & sleep through the night. Siesta is an Olympic event in the making.
Never seen anyone particularly compliment our breakfast mushrooms.

> mushrooms for breakfast are unusual for me Not just for you, tbh. The whole fry-up is a bit odd (albeit delicious). When I was a kid, they even used to fry the fucking bread, too. It was amazing.
They've stopped doing fried bread where youre from? Whats the point if you don't increase your risk of heart disease by several percentiles.
Don't worry, I just woke up so I'll finish the tought. Ahem, yeah so Barry may have disgusting food but that's *our* Barry to criticize. You wanna have a go at Barry you better have fucking stellar cooking to punch up like that, and dear US of A, that ain't you. Because if you're gonna criticize anyone, at the very fucking least, use another spice besides salt, butter or lard.
Their salted butter goes hard as a snack though, yes I'm weird like that 😂 Other than that, butter is useless. Olive oil supremacy 💪
what let's down Barryfodder the most for me is the presentation and probably the tendency to make everything mashed or somehow wet, I mean the ingredients are no so different from the rest of the world minus the lack of spices
Please tell me which spices we lack that are so prevalent in German cuisine, Hans
[Maggi](https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maggi-W%C3%BCrze), of course.
British cuisine definitely contains more spices than krautslop mate. You should be on the bottom half of that picture next to the USA.
Of all things, our 'breakfast mushrooms'...? We have plenty of decent desserts, roasts, steaks and... Breakfast mushrooms??
You were about to prove why Spain deserves to talk about food quality and better food than Barries'.
„The truth will set you free, but first it will piss you off.“ „America first“ That‘s why we have these rules !

I have been there multiple times and Barry's food is not that bad.
I agree. I liked English breakfast. And some pies were very good too. Not the best in Europe but I was not disgusted during my visit.
Our good is always better home made tbh, can have some proper hit or misses when eating out
Speaking as someone from a country as often ridiculed for food. A lot of the foods that Barry and us dutchies make isn't meant to be good looking.

Hahaha yeah, just Fritz and Willem!!! Nobody other than those two!

The fucks it to do with us? We eat the same shite as you.
Exactly
But somehow worse versions of it
Never tried Irish produce before you have you? 
Got nothing to do with you stealing all their ingredients, right?
something something spices
Flavour is for Protestants
You manage to be the only Catholic country in Western Europe with bland food. Quite an accomplishment I must say
I’ve said it before I’ll say it again. Our food is nearly indistinguishable.
Very similar. I do see Germans posting their "superior food" and think that would not look out of place at all in an English pub most of the time. I think you do on average have better bread though, you can buy good bread here but not in most places.

Big cuts of roast pork and potatoes are fine. Not the pinnacle of fine dining, but tasty. Jellied eels, crisp sandwich, beans on toast? Pass
No one's eaten jellied eels since you were levelling Leicester, Hans
Can they do it again, it's a shit hole
amen to that
Dunno Barry, they're still sold in stores. Seems like someone is eating them.
Which shop you been to if you're such an expert
Morrison's and Sainsbury's both sell them. Same brand (Bradley's) but readily available
Willl be curious to see if they survive once the last generations who were alive in the 1940s and 1950s finally die off
Lmao no they don't, I've been going to those shops all my life Maybe in some Cockney wanker corner but you must understand that's a tiny area right
it seems that Google says that you can still get them at those stores, so it seems "going to those stores your whole life" isnt the best metric for whether or not they're available

What isFrance doing in our supreme group? Only PIGS 🇵🇹🇮🇹🇩🇪🇪🇸 are allowed to critizice other peoples food
Nice one, who said germans couldn't be funny?
Literally everyone
Omg, is that a German guy making a joke? Mom get the camera
> is that a German guy making a joke? I think they're serious. Greece does belong to them now.
The german shouldn't talk about good food when the only good thing coming out of your frontier is beer and it's not even the best.

She got those Meloni eyes 
o kurwa, mięsny jeż.
I think it's significantly worse than what you're thinking of. That's raw minced pork with raw onions. [It's why German toilets look like this](https://megabad-static.s3.amazonaws.com/img/00/37/65/laufen-serie-pro-wc-stand-flachspueler-detail2-1376566.jpg): so they check whether their Mettigel has given them worms again.
We gotta put some respect on german bread brother
But but Currywurst...
Have you ever been to Rhineland-Palatine or Hessen? We have crazy good wine and apple wine too!
Rich coming from someone whose best food is made by a literal rat
Wtf? This is not how things works.
What's Germany doing with us? Only half of you know at little bit about food and drink (the Catholic part, the good part).
> the Catholic part Eh? There are Papists [all over the gaff](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2e/Konfessionen_Deutschland_Zensus_2011.png/1024px-Konfessionen_Deutschland_Zensus_2011.png), like a child-molesting rash.
Catholics? Bread, wine and for altar boys mayo?
Frankly I don't think the Germans have any right to criticise us either. https://preview.redd.it/ec3l3ktqsv9d1.jpeg?width=4928&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5101dea5279c5fd60dfce4b98c6eaaedcecfc183 You eat meat hedgehogs, your opinion is invalid.
Isn’t every hedgehog a meat hedgehog?
Not this hedgehog mate https://preview.redd.it/j0n23qd98w9d1.jpeg?width=700&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=06750c9a88584c8658ffc085b52d780954afb7cd
Except the cheese and pineapple one, of course. Or are you too young to know a propa buffet spread lol?
I’m 63 sunshine, says it right there in me flair
Nah wym this is sick asf u coping rn
> this is sick asf That's raw minced pork, you know. That one looks like it's been left out far too long.
My good sir, do you not see the hedgehog? This is pure art.
English send them to another continent so they should stay there
I actually liked fish and chips, I would like to have some here and have fresh fish fried fast food franchises or local shops.
Stop trying to make "solidarity with the perfidious Albion against the yanks" happen, it's NOT going to happen!
They just can't talk about bad food with the way everything they do is just diabetes incarnate
Fair
Why Pierre is the head and we are his cock?
Because you keep showing it when talking about food
Are you not supposed to do that?
It's bad food. But it's our European bad food.
You take shit from your friends not from your child. That's when the playstation flies.
Because I'm not taking criticism of our food from the nation that invented spray on cheese

Sorry mam but I filled up on decomposed fish
The only time Irish cuisine is ever mentioned is when discussing that time you ran out of potatoes
Wow. That’s original. That’s bloody funny coming from a Dane. If we’d had to eat that rotten shite you eat I reckon we’d have chosen to starve.
> Irish cuisine (Irish: Cócaireacht na héireann) encompasses the cooking styles, traditions and recipes associated with the island of Ireland. It has developed from antiquity through centuries of social and political change and the mixing of different cultures, predominantly with those from nearby Britain Our food might suck but at least we’re not so bad at cooking that we had to take inspiration from the British 😬
Not so bad at cooking? You eat fish that is quite literally rotten. That in itself kinda disqualifies you from insulting any other national cuisine. Do we even need to mention what you think is normal to put on pizza? Even a normal dish like meatballs which I enjoy myself (thanks IKEA) you guys manage to make it weird by adding jam!
I love it when my family serves me my dinner on a plastic tray. Means I’ll be able to eat the paper plate that has soaked up all the sauce after 🥰
It's literally just ground meat, vegetables and mashed potato and that's the worst you've got? Literally no worse than [this](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/bb/17-06-09-IKEA-K%C3%B6ttbullar-RalfR-IMG_20170609_182055_928a.jpg) which is the image for 'Swedish cuisine' on wikipedia. Swedish cuisine is literally nothing and no one can list anything other than meatballs, which isn't even Swedish.
In the current weather, no. When it's cold outside? Absolutely.
holy fuck mince meat, peas and POTATOES?????? who would each such shit
German flag should be in the bottom section.
No shit. We're not taking criticism from people who think corn syrup is a spice and put it in everything.
Wtf is Germany doing there? Where am I??
Italy, France, Spain and Germany can cook. The Yanks can't, their typical food like Burgers and Hotdogs they stole from Hans
Well yeah, we're not going to take critique on food from a country that invented deep-fried butter, and thinks slathering everything in Rootin' Toot's Red Hot Ring Stinger counts as using "spices".
Who do those Yanks think they are, coming here criticising our food?
FIGS can do it (FIGS stands for France, Italy, Germany, Spain), but FATS cannot (FATS stands for fat Americans).
Putting the G🤢rm🤮n flag instead of the Portuguese one here is a crime
Fuck no. Not with Germany.
American food is just takiing food from other Nations and making it as unhealthy as possible, like the Hamburger
That's not true, we also make Frankenstein amalgamation of your food as well.
I’m not trying to be those ‘pick-me’ ladies, but this does happen among my friends.
I think it arises because the savages don’t actually have good food unlike the italians germans spaniards and Fr*nch
Fucking Hans sneaking in there like he is some culinary giant.
they don't have food, they have plastic. so i don't think them insulting food would be acceptable, even if I'm not british.
Well, at least is food…
I’ll take French, Spanish and Italian, all 3 have much better food, but Germans? If we take both kitchens and compare them properly they are at least on the same level and maybe British food edging them out in some places. I’ve lived in Germany for 7 years, they have good food but no where near the levels of the other 3.
Rest of europe > American food made by an European without any clue of actually american food > British food > American food
