I think most English and Americans would be surprised to learn that large parts of Europe view Germans as uncultured and a bit trash. They dress poorly, can’t cook and would sell their mother for some quick cash. Austrians are just Germans except fatter and with a diaper fetish.
I can’t confirm any of that except the cooking part. There’s a German restaurant near us, and the entire menu is various forms of Wurst - sausages. Apparently, their entire culinary range consists of hot dogs.
My trouble with Bavarian food is the flavor is entirely in the “savory” section. Would you like some buttered noodles? How about just a chicken that’s been wonderfully cooked but unspiced? A friend referred to it as the kid’s meal section at restaurants.
Anywhere north of the Alps, cuisine had to function as a means of enduring the long, cold winter. Hence a lot of it is hearty stodge, without the joie de vivre one finds closer to the Mediterranean.
If Bavaria is any better, its proximity to Italy may be of credit.

That’s simply a bad restaurant
Yes, a real German restaurant would also have a dozen styles of kraut to go with the hot dogs.
I have never heard those stereotypes about germany anywhere. Its a ragebait post so im not supprised.
I’m curious about that last part. Please elaborate.
Name something more German than wearing socks with Birkenstocks
Germany
Ive tried that, i find the socks make them too likely to slip when I walk. Don’t understand it.
Which is a style again.
Bavaria would like a word.
If anybody in Europe can’t cook, it’s the Poles.
Been living in Bavaria for 2 years.
Bavarians can’t cook.
Wow, clearly someone who has never eaten Saure Zipfl, Saukopf or Presssack.

That’s a wild-ass take about the people who gave us pierogi and kielbasa. Bigos and golabki are pretty awesome too.
I mostly heard negative opinions about Dutch cuisine. Despite the popularity of stroopwafel lol
Is that supposed to be food?
And have you all forgot the British exist?
I wonder what your definition of food is if these don’t fit it.
The comment that started this discussion specifically mentions their assumed perspective.
The point is that the words just sound like non-sense to anyone outside Poland.
Oh! I thought pierogi and kielbasa were better known internationally given their popularity in New York. Anyway, I’d recommend them!
I’ve had very good food in NL but it’s pretty expensive compared with Germany
