Shots fired with the food lol

[–] Shayeta@feddit.de 40 points 2 years ago (2 children)

The colder it is, the harder it is to grow food and the less options and culinary innovation you have. It is what it is.

[–] renard_roux@beehaw.org 25 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Danish restaurants have won World's Best Restaurant 6 times in the past 13 years (with an additional 5 placements in 2nd and 3rd place, combined, since 2009), but granted, that doesn't say much about Danish cuisine in general 😓

Still, it has to count for something, dammit!

[–] EvilCartyen@feddit.dk 9 points 2 years ago

Our lunch-cuisine is excellent and quite unique. Lots of different types of smoked and cured fish, lovely bread, interesting combinations like 'æbleflæsk', and so on. And smørrebrød is a delight when made properly and fresh, and not something you find elsewhere.

I was in Kopenhagen last week. The bakery stuff is a pure bliss. I falled in love with the kanelstykke 😍

[–] renard_roux@beehaw.org 5 points 2 years ago

Happy you had a good time, and yes, the baked goods and pastries are something else! 😊❤️🥧

[–] dojan@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

Speaking as a Swede, it’s true. Rotten fish is not a flavour, it’s a crime against gastronomy. Also flour is not a spice.

[–] Mad_Punda@feddit.de 29 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Mmh the first panel doesn’t “divide Europe”, so the title is misleading :P

Now excuse me while I distract myself from the impending doom.

What's 1 ÷ 1?

[–] Knusper@feddit.de 9 points 2 years ago

I think, they just forgot to color it in. Because the seas are prepared. Growing, even.

As long as it makes people angry it's succeeded

Don't half of autobahns actually have a speed limit? Or at least some of them / some stretches of road?

[–] kellerlanplayer@feddit.de 29 points 2 years ago

In Germany we call it Baustelle :D

[–] hstde@feddit.de 19 points 2 years ago (1 children)

In Germany we don't say "Our autobahns don't have any speed limit" we say "Na toll, natürlich wieder eine Baustelle! Was? Bis 2036 wollen die hier ackern? Na schönen Dank auch. Jetzt auch noch 60?! Pff 70 ist mein bestes Angebot!" And I find it beautiful.

Also we have the option, whether we want to „Bauarbeiter umfahren“ or „Bauarbeiter umfahren“

[–] EyIchFragDochNur@feddit.de 12 points 2 years ago

Yea but the other countries have a general limit.

[–] kilgore@feddit.de 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Some stretches do have limits. But even where there are no speed limits there are suggested maximum limits. If you're over that limit and have an accident (that normally might not be deemed your fault) you're more likely to be held liable.

[–] McWizard@feddit.de 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

That's not true. About 70% have no limits, but if you're in an accident and you drove faster than 130km/h you can get partial blame. On the other parts there are some kind of limits and they are as hard as they are in other countries. ( well, Germany does not have the biggest fines, but it's still a hard limit).

[–] Magnetar@feddit.de 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The trick is not to survive when you're driving over 130, so you can avoid the blame.

[–] Knuschberkeks@feddit.de 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

so basically try to avoid driving at any speed between 130 and 200 km/h

[–] elvith@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

201km/h it is. Got it.

[–] seSvxR3ull7LHaEZFIjM@feddit.de 21 points 2 years ago

Liechtenstein should have a special color for being one of the only 2 doubly landlocked countries in the world.

[–] bernieecclestoned@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Why would you make the bad cuisine green and the good beige. It's literally the other way round.

[–] blackn1ght@feddit.uk 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

To be fair we all know a beige banquet is peak British food.

It's British Dutch fusion

Air fryers are mandatory

[–] LazyKoala@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

As someone from northern Germany, I can confirm our food is straight up just better than that southern shit.

[–] Vlyn@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

As someone who lives in Austria, has been in Bavaria and has also been living half a year in Bremen (can't go much further North): No, it's not.

[–] LazyKoala@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

As so one who gre up in Bremen: How dare you.

[–] tja@sh.itjust.works -2 points 2 years ago

Bremen (can't go much further North)

Bremen is not really northern Germany.

No, it's not.

Also wrong

Croatia with good cuisine?

[–] 3TH4Li4@feddit.ch 8 points 2 years ago

All eastern EU/Balkans have good cuisine imo

[–] DarkThoughts@kbin.social 0 points 2 years ago

Germany very much has speed limits, just not everywhere. Third one is also bs.
