German Street Food is Second to None

Sep 14, 2020 2:13 AM

The esteemed Döner Box. I could live a short happy life on nothing but this

Pastries for breakfast.

Outstanding pastries are available all over Germany

Lovely bratwurst

The Currywurst is love. The Currywurst is life.

I'm sure good currywurst exists but all the sausage I had tasted like cardboard. Berlin is a tourist trap with zero culture left. 2/2

Haven't been, but it's hard for be to imagine it being better than Hong Kong's street food (before *gestures broadly*, you know).

I haven't been to hk unfortunately, and doubt I'll be able to go anytime soon, that said, I expect it to be similar or the same, but more $$

There is a park in Berlin that is taken over by tiny Thai ladies every weekend that sell all kinds of street food. But it's not Thailand.

Officially it's the Preußenpark. Or Thaipark. Thai Wiese. https://thaipark.de/thaipark_en.html The website is even in Thai. Or english.

German food is so good that it's Mediterranean and Indian food

ah yes, the traditional Indian dish "Puddingbrezel". Or the ancient Mediterranean "Bratwurst im Weißbrotsemmel".

Do they still do the schinkenbrot?

The Indians or the Mediterranean? I think Schinkenbrot is more typically peloponnesian.

We'll look forward to your visit. But try to not claim to be German. You may spark a discussion. Identity works differently here than in US.

As German: Why would you do this to yourself. Our language is bad and makes no sense at all.

Everything is gendered for no reason. We have more irregular verbs than regular one. And if you mess up word order one bit, you break it.
