I bet I can name at least a few things eaten in Germany that are very similar to England. Everywhere has bad and good food, so I always find it really sad when people hold the food they are familiar with up on a pedestal, I know so many people like this and it’s really frustrating, I know people that treat German food like you treat English food, they find it repulsive and really bland. I’ve cooked great food for people, things like sauerbraten and roulade and they act like I’m serving up a pile of slop. I don’t understand why people get so fixated on specific things to the point of myopic. The picture you posted is sad as well, because all it is doing is shaming poor people and the food they eat that is readily available and cheap. I often ate beans on toast as a kid because we were poor, it’s not nice to look at but it is quite tasty and filling for a very low cost, why should I feel bad about it because we didn’t have much money?
currywurst - curried sausage
schnitzel - meat cutlets
stolen - fruit cake
blutwurst - blood pudding
apple strudel - apple pie
Bratkartoffeln - roast potatoes with bacon
kartoffesalat - potato salad
I wouldn’t shame anyone for labskaus.
