Could not pay me to eat that.
If you thought muricans were gonna get mad because you accused us of smushing a bunch of European countries’ cuisines together to produce something new, you have fundamentally misunderstood our national character and cuisine.
For those who don’t know: “ドイツ風” translates to “German-style” (according to deepL)
Japanese speaker here, confirming the translation 👍
I was going to complain about us being excluded.

Seven if we count pizza as Italy
I 100% don’t understand the thought process here at all. Why did they think this would make sense?
so basically like the us when packaging another country’s food
No pineapple on pizza. Missed chance.
I feel like pickles is offensive enough
I think it’s zucchini.
No idea how zucchini on pizza tastes like either.
It’s tasty
Source: I just bought a slice
Eggplant, tomato sauce and cheese go well together. I’d imagine zucchini isn’t too different.
Zucchini on pizza works pretty well, but you need to cut it thin, so it has a chance to dry a bit during baking. Otherwise, it makes the cheese soggy, which is nasty.
Given the rest of the package, I will not extend the grace of assuming the best case scenario.
It’s pickle pepperoni pizza.
Which… I mean…
What is it? A slice of white bread?
What is more western food than bread with cheese?
It’s rather yellow so an enriched bread? Egg yolks will do that, so is “French Toast” suggesting that egg has been added somewhere (since the traditional custard bread would be dipped in for French toast contains egg?)
I’ve also seen “French Toast Bagels” before which are basically a richer, sweetened/vanilla/maple flavored bagel. Maybe they were going for a similar “French Toast” flavored slice of enriched bread?
God, I’ve already put far more thought into this than I should have.
Edit FUCK! BUT WHY THE PIZZA?!?!?!?
I suspect that the “american style” means there is no custard, it’s a slice of bread soaked in scrambled egg with some cinnamon, then pan-fried. In that case, it’s likely just a piece of bread with egg and cinnamon.
American style French toast is scrambled egg and some form of cream or milk and vanilla, which is basically a custard.
Just egg by itself would be super gross I suspect.
custard means you temper the egg in warm milk or cream, I’ve never seen french toast done with an actual custard in Canada outside of nicer restaurants.
We do also add something sweet for serving, usually some combination of syrup, icing sugar, fruit, whipped cream, etc.
I think we might be splitting hairs on what counts as a custard at this point. But I suppose as a Canadian you are slightly more French adjacent than I am.
Yeah, I’ve never seen French toast served dry. Personally I like to add peanut butter as well as syrup.
I think it’s also flavored like American style pizza.
Especially in light of the Kudopan/British flag version below.
Is this a real thing?
Meet the cousin
I do not see any hand motions though… (hence no “Italian”?)
