You’re at Airbräu! I love it!
And you’re trying to tell me this isn’t perfect for sharing?
The Québec style is a can of Pepsi with a cigarette and some religious words that are also swear words because reasons.
I’ll have mine with a last word
That’s almost like the old ”Finnish Breakfast Meme” but a healthier version.
1 cigarette for a €1? That seems like a deal.
Cigarettes have become more expensive but right now they’re at 9 € for 22 pcs. So less than 50c a piece.
Your packs come with 22?
Been some time since I stopped smoking prepacked, but they were available in 21,22, 27, 30 and 35 I believe. Dependent on the brand
They’re available in different sizes
That’s fascinating…cool
That’s not Germany that’s Bavaria. Come on, every country has that one part full of crazy people that you don’t want to compare the whole country to.
I moved from Bavaria to Saxony about two years ago. I always thought the whole “The West” “The East” thing was a joke and no one actually talked and thought like that.
Then I realized that it was just that there is “The East”, “The West”, and “Bavaria”. Bavarians don’t identify with “The West”. Nothing “The East” says about “The West” applies well to Bavaria. It’s just a very shielded microcosm. Bavarians don’t identify as Germans. They identify as Bavarians primarily. They are doing their own thing.
Hey now not everyone has a Florida
In my hometown up in the north, there was a students pub that offered a “whore’s breakfast” (“Nuttenfrühstück”) that was just a cup of coffee and a cig, so…
Australia has a “Dingo’s Breakfast” = a piss and a look around
So after that you go find a baby to eat?
So, Bavaria is Germany’s version of Montreal or Florida?
Montreal is awesome wtf are you on about? You mean Alberta?
I’ve seen it being compared to Texas before and - from a non-American point of view - that seems pretty accurate.
Accurate in more ways than one. “Howdy, pardner!” and cowboy hats is to the US what yodeling and slapping your Lederhosen is to Germany.
Aren’t Texans originally German settlers anyway?
I believe that’s Wisconsin. Polish & German pocket of ancestry.
Uhhh, WISCONSIN!
No. The original “settlement” (aka stealing land from and genociding indigenous people) of what is today Texas was done by the Spanish.
When Spain claimed sovereignty over the area now known as Texas, they didn’t actually have de facto control.
A big chunk of modern day residents of Texas trace their lineage back to waves of German and Czech migration. One large wave showed up in the 1830’s and 1840’s, negotiated a treaty with the Comanches who still controlled the land, and established German-speaking settlements through much of Central Texas. So actual control over the land was established by Germans more than it was Spanish.
Even in the portions of Texas conquered by Spanish settlers have now been settled by people who don’t trace back to those Spaniards. The Spanish-speaking people of Texas declared independence with the rest of Mexico and became Mexicans. Then, after the war of Texas Independence, were mostly driven out by English-speaking Texians who had migrated from America (and largely trace back to to English, Scottish, or Irish migrants).
So no, modern day Texans are more German than they are Spanish. Just because the Spanish were the first to do it doesn’t mean that they or their descendants actually held the land in the centuries that followed.
Okay, I misread the original claim, my bad.
However, the majority of Texans according to the 2020 census is of latin/hispanic ethnicity (40.2%), followed by 39.8% white.
I don’t know what US americans need to claim any descent or ancestry, but I have a feeling that more people would claim spanish than german.That’s fair, you’re probably right.
Still, my original reason for making a comment is probably true, too: the actual displacement of Native Americans from Texas probably mostly happened at the hands of European Americans who weren’t Spanish, because the Spanish were themselves displaced before Texas was “settled” by European Americans.
No, that would be the entirety of east Germany.
I’d say Germanys east is more like the flyover states in the US:
Used to be full of high payed industry jobs that were moved overseas (or Westgermany) and now it’s nothing but hopelessness, crumbling infrastructure, meth, and faschists…
If the US had a state-sized version of Detroit, that would be a good comparison, too. Rust belt and such.
I mean, have you been to Michigan?
(jk, I haven’t been and looking at orange turds antics probably won’t visit the US in the near future lol)
I have not. My knowledge about Detroit is entirely based on 8 Mile.
The “Perfect For Sharing” title should be placed on the top part of the box. At first glance, I thought the last meal was the one for sharing.
“Babe, you just chill, I know exactly what to order”
“You gonna finish that cigarette? Can I have it?”
Twos on that mate?
The most German thing here ‘sausage salad’
Pretzel and 2 slices of bread.
Is it good bread?
German bread is quite good generally
Still the tastiest thing you can get on that menu
In defense of the restaurant (because I used to go there a lot) they also have a selection of vegetarian and vegan dishes. They do serve Bavarian classics and that’s their main focus, but there are always some “modern”/“alternative” dishes.
You never had good sausage with cheese salad?
Vegan
In my town there ist one restaurant which offers this as smoker’s breakfast, including coffee.
In Germany that’s called a hooker’s breakfast.
France just calls that breakfast.
Why’s the menu in English?
It’s in the airport. Actually, Airbräu is the only brewery that is located in an airport as far as I know. It has also weirdly cheap (and very tasty) beer for being both in “Munich” and in an airport .
The cold snack platter looks to have a big helping of raw pork 🤢
This might blow your mind but in parts of the world which have actual food safety standards this isn’t a problem.
What we call raw ham in Europe is just a method of preparing ham without cooking. It is salted and dried for month. Very safe.
Ok, but that’s still weird in my mind. That’s not raw, that’s preserved.
Let me introduce you to Mettbrötchen.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mett
Mett is raw minced pork meat, and it is delicious. You just need good food saftey standards.
If you have a “eeeeeew” gut reaction about eating raw pork - that’s how I felt hearing about sushi the first time. It’s mostly about what you’re used to.
Sushi and Mett, they are both quite safe to eat here in Germany. Of course there’s always some minor remaining risk, but that’s a looooot smaller than the risk of getting ran over by a car on my way to the store.
Good safety standards are wildly different in EU and US. In many parts of EU some form of raw meat or other is common, raw milk is not too unusual. Consuming these items in US is a small step away from voluntary food poisoning. Not considering all the cases of unsafe foods delivered to the US supermarkets. Anecdotally, I would say some call back or other happens once a month in US (would love more precise data, too lazy to look)
