That’s almost like the old ”Finnish Breakfast Meme” but a healthier version.
That’s not Germany that’s Bavaria. Come on, every country has that one part full of crazy people that you don’t want to compare the whole country to.
Ba-where?
I moved from Bavaria to Saxony about two years ago. I always thought the whole “The West” “The East” thing was a joke and no one actually talked and thought like that.
Then I realized that it was just that there is “The East”, “The West”, and “Bavaria”. Bavarians don’t identify with “The West”. Nothing “The East” says about “The West” applies well to Bavaria. It’s just a very shielded microcosm. Bavarians don’t identify as Germans. They identify as Bavarians primarily. They are doing their own thing.
In my hometown up in the north, there was a students pub that offered a “whore’s breakfast” (“Nuttenfrühstück”) that was just a cup of coffee and a cig, so…
Australia has a “Dingo’s Breakfast” = a piss and a look around
So after that you go find a baby to eat?
So, Bavaria is Germany’s version of Montreal or Florida?
I’ve seen it being compared to Texas before and - from a non-American point of view - that seems pretty accurate.
Accurate in more ways than one. “Howdy, pardner!” and cowboy hats is to the US what yodeling and slapping your Lederhosen is to Germany.
Correct if you only think about the clothes and dances. But what about eating habits? Lederhosen wearers like to suck the veal sausage out of the skin and eat it with sweet mustard
Aren’t Texans originally German settlers anyway?
No. The original “settlement” (aka stealing land from and genociding indigenous people) of what is today Texas was done by the Spanish.
When Spain claimed sovereignty over the area now known as Texas, they didn’t actually have de facto control.
A big chunk of modern day residents of Texas trace their lineage back to waves of German and Czech migration. One large wave showed up in the 1830’s and 1840’s, negotiated a treaty with the Comanches who still controlled the land, and established German-speaking settlements through much of Central Texas. So actual control over the land was established by Germans more than it was Spanish.
Even in the portions of Texas conquered by Spanish settlers have now been settled by people who don’t trace back to those Spaniards. The Spanish-speaking people of Texas declared independence with the rest of Mexico and became Mexicans. Then, after the war of Texas Independence, were mostly driven out by English-speaking Texians who had migrated from America (and largely trace back to to English, Scottish, or Irish migrants).
So no, modern day Texans are more German than they are Spanish. Just because the Spanish were the first to do it doesn’t mean that they or their descendants actually held the land in the centuries that followed.
Okay, I misread the original claim, my bad.
However, the majority of Texans according to the 2020 census is of latin/hispanic ethnicity (40.2%), followed by 39.8% white.
I don’t know what US americans need to claim any descent or ancestry, but I have a feeling that more people would claim spanish than german.That’s fair, you’re probably right.
Still, my original reason for making a comment is probably true, too: the actual displacement of Native Americans from Texas probably mostly happened at the hands of European Americans who weren’t Spanish, because the Spanish were themselves displaced before Texas was “settled” by European Americans.
I believe that’s Wisconsin. Polish & German pocket of ancestry.
Uhhh, WISCONSIN!
Montreal is awesome wtf are you on about? You mean Alberta?
Interesting. I’ve spent more time in Ontario than any other province, and Newfoundland seems to be the area they all make fun of.
No, that would be the entirety of east Germany.
I’d say Germanys east is more like the flyover states in the US:
Used to be full of high payed industry jobs that were moved overseas (or Westgermany) and now it’s nothing but hopelessness, crumbling infrastructure, meth, and faschists…
If the US had a state-sized version of Detroit, that would be a good comparison, too. Rust belt and such.
I mean, have you been to Michigan?
(jk, I haven’t been and looking at orange turds antics probably won’t visit the US in the near future lol)
I have not. My knowledge about Detroit is entirely based on 8 Mile.
Well that last part sure sounds like FL or man of the fly over states.
Hey now not everyone has a Florida
The “Perfect For Sharing” title should be placed on the top part of the box. At first glance, I thought the last meal was the one for sharing.
I thought it was meant to be for if youre dumping someone and dont want the meal to last long or to pay for their food. Get in, have your ‘last meal’ together and then drop them and get out lol.
“You gonna finish that cigarette? Can I have it?”
Twos on that mate?
I remember a time doing fours on a cig lol
I hated that guy. Fuck off and buy your own fags!!
“Babe, you just chill, I know exactly what to order”
I thought the same, like congrats on making it even more pathetic. Hey bro wanna go halfsies on a last meal?
You’re at Airbräu! I love it!
The most German thing here ‘sausage salad’
It’s a lighter, refreshing alternative to meat salad.
I like steak salad. with bacon instead of lettuce
Pretzel and 2 slices of bread.
1 cigarette for a €1? That seems like a deal.
Cigarettes have become more expensive but right now they’re at 9 € for 22 pcs. So less than 50c a piece.
Your packs come with 22?
Been some time since I stopped smoking prepacked, but they were available in 21,22, 27, 30 and 35 I believe. Dependent on the brand
They’re available in different sizes
That’s fascinating…neat
And you’re trying to tell me this isn’t perfect for sharing?
The Québec style is a can of Pepsi with a cigarette and some religious words that are also swear words because reasons.
Vegan
Oops, sorry. This is pork-derived water.
Wurstwasser.
Lard or milk in the bread, or horse hooves in the glue in the cigarette
I’ll have mine with a last word
Replace the water with coffee and it’s the European breakfast in its purest form.
continental breakfast? should be a croissant.
Or so the French would have you believe
Napoleon strikes again
Reminds me of the “Poachers Plate (free)” for small kids having some food from their parents order.
In my town there ist one restaurant which offers this as smoker’s breakfast, including coffee.
In Germany that’s called a hooker’s breakfast.
France just calls that breakfast.
That sounds like it’s illegal under our tobacco tax law
I don’t get it, what is this? Is this some kind of reference to something?
“Last meal” is what you eat before being executed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Last_meal
