(Swiss)Germans are completely mad about food.

It's their culture to complain about everything, except food. All they care about is that it's as bland as possible and has big portions. If you manage that, they'll give you five stars every time.

I spent 3 years living in Germany, and not only can you not get anything spicy for love nor money, they also don't use herbs. It just blows my mind. They're physically so close to France and Italy, but the food is so far away.

Oh god you just described my neighbour. He tells me about this restaurant he was. Was it any good? The steak was huge. But was it any good? It was very reasonable priced.

As a german, i'd say i would absolutely love variety, herbs, spices and taste in my food. But they just don't really offer it.

In my city there about 15 greek restaurants selling humongous potions of meat with fries, a few döner places and a few italian places. Thats it. What would i give for anything else...
