Housil, is that you? I'm shocked!

Nah!!!!!









...I don´t drink beer.

Kebab is from Turkey (and some kind of Greece) but Döner Kebab is from Germany (exact from Berlin) and here in Berlin you can buy the best... i tryed Döner in some other citys and other countrys but it is only eatable here...

and i think some of you love Nutella (i love it on peanutbutter its like a snickers for breakfest)
and of cause i know that mostly all of you like german beer

[Cracker]

Beck's...... it's my favorite

But we use DAB, krombacher and Oettinger to flush the toilet.
Strange with the Krombacher, because I really don't like it.. and it's a bestseller..
Like Heineken here.. We only export it, because we puke it out ourselves....



And AK70.. i'm sure I'm going to try some off those next week..

becks is like a american beer, its more water than beer, so i do not like it... krombacher is ok, but there are much better beers outside... yes öttinger is to flush the toilet, but its the most selled beer in germany
i like berliner pilsner, berliner weiße mit schuss (special berlin sour beer, with syrup) and radeberger, and i like from poland tyskie and zywiecz and from the czech staropramen (my favorite) pilsener urquell and the one and only original budweißer

and i hate thise crap called köllsch, alt, or the bavarian brew... real beer must be pils!!!

I have to disagree, Beck's is a relatively bitter beer, not brewed to the american watery taste like Heineken.
Warsteiner is extremely watery though, but is very drinkable in the summer. Because it's not brewed to the american taste.

American beers taste less strong and are quite watery, they also don't use enough "hop NL / hopfen DE" (no idea how to translate it in english..)

And Urquell is very good aswell..
And I have to admit, I can enjoy Köllsch (with peach/pfirsisch) or some bavarian kristallweiß.. but only when it's 30*C outside

Cracker, I think you'll love our Silva Black. Also, Ursus beer is very good.

"hop NL / hopfen DE" (no idea how to translate it in english..)

They call "Hopfen" "hop" too.

Cabbage rolls (definitely a must have)
...
Sauerbraten (mit rotkraut und Spätzle)
Rouladen

I had the cabbage roll from a Canadina IMP and I really liked it.
We like it over here too.

Where do you know (German) Sauerbraten from? We have it once or twice a month and it´s also available canned in supermarkets. Same with Rouladen.

i think sauerbraten and schnitzel are well known all ower the world...

[housil]

i think sauerbraten and schnitzel are well known all ower the world...

Nope.

Only by peoples that have been over here (e.g. with the Army). You will get Sauerbraten and other Germany stuff "over there" only where Germans are like the Hofbräuhaus in Las Vegas, or the Deutsches Eck in Miami (I had Sauerbraten and Spätzle there)

[Pyro]

you can find german restaurants all over the world...mostly the typical german cliche one (bavarian style) and if you ask people all over the world what they know about germany than they will answer schnitzel, sauerkrauf and schweinebraten mostly... (its cause this is the typical german stuff in televison and so on) yep most of them knew it from their army-time in germany, but today its known all over the world (ok perhaps not in the middle of africa or somewhat)
