Germans have roughly one kind of bread that they’re very good at.
Germany has tons of Turkish immigrants, but Germans won’t buy pita bread unless they’re getting a doner. They share a massive border with France but mostly ignore delicious French breads like croissants, baguettes, etc. They’re right near Italy but you won’t find much focaccia. Forget about naan, bagels, bao, corn bread, crumpets, injera, etc.
That’s what I thought until I started working at a German bakery. Now I’m converted (as someone who isn’t from here and grew up with fresh home baked sourdough every day). You should try more of it.
I guess you’re not into bread, because Germans have incredible bread
The French have good bread as well. Not as good as what we have in Italy of course, but well, they’re doing their best!
I dunno, the last baguette I ate tasted like pain.

I left the 2% for pretzels, sausage, and Haribo gummies.
And Italians also make bread, you’ll notice they’re not on the exclusion list.
Italians make bread without salt… Bah!
That’s just the Tuscans
Yeah, but Italian bread and German bread…
Germans make pasta too, but I’m not talking about maultaschen here
They sure like talking about their bread a lot. No one beyond their borders understands why however.
