is there a more disgusting cuisine in europe than german?
my entire life i thought that brits have the worst cuisine, but after moving to switzerland i realized my mistake.
picrelated, pieces of cold sausage with cold potatoes and vinegar. swiss people drool over this. most dishes (except the ones which are 90% molten cheese) are cold mixes of sausage (which itself is also disgusting, textureless blended meat), cold potatoes and mayo/vinegar.

I don’t mind German food from time to time. Sometimes I’m just in the mood for krautsalat for lunch. But then I’m done eating and can go 3 or 4 months without it again.

Alsatian cuisine is a totally different beast though. I’d eat that every meal of every day.

most meat products in german speaking region are composed of blended meat slop (that looks like it was blended for an hour rather than minced) formed into various shapes.
they can't compare with slavic stuff (like polish kielbasa) or italian meats, which are not nearly as processed and taste much better.

There are strong similarities between south(west) germany and german switzerland. Sausage salad for example is an allemanic thing (there are swiss and swabian variants, alsatians and badenians generally eat the swiss one). Vinegar potato salad is also typically swabian and a popular food for cheap canteens (which gives you a hint of OPs social status in switzerland.) Fleischkäse/Leberkäse like in
>>18607067
is generally south german and especially popular in bavaria.
That's just the stuff that showed up here. There are also similarities in preferred traditional beverages like beer, fruit cidres and brandies. Where it differs strongly is in common use of cheese and certain french/italian influences.

>>18607519
go eat a wurst / currywurst just to try it if you havent. from german stuff, schnitzel with fries (schnitzel mit pommes, schnipo) is okay too.
since germany has a massive population of turks and arabs you can easily find good food from their cuisine. get kebab, especially gemusekebap (kebab with vegetables). finding a restaurant that serves good plate of grilled meats, rice and hummus should not be a problem either.
ive had good luck eating italian food in berlin too.
slavic stuff like czech or polish, i did not have much luck eating very authentic dishes outside of their own countries.
IMPORTANT POINT: bring cash everywhere, germans are 10 years behind other european countries when it comes to cashless payments. maybe it improved during covid, but 2 years ago in berlin i had problems with card payments even in very popular restaurants.

Onion rings are optional but good. Can add radishes and whole cherry tomatoes at the side. Properly eaten with bread (sourdough and rye content obligatory).
The important thing is to let it rest for a while so the vinegar and mustard can penetrate the sausage.

Not german but I vaguely remember eating this in school or somewhere like that and enjoying it. I mean I don't think it's supposed to be a main dish or anything but more of a salad bar thing. I don't see what the hell is supposed to be disgusting about it to be honest. Also it's cheese, not potatoes you retard.

Climate.
That's it.
The regions you mentioned have extremely rare and unique conditions found nowhere else on the planet that ensure you can locally source pretty much every tipe of "edible" possible, leading to an eternal spring of fresh ingredients that allowed experimentation aimed at increasing variety and taste while still being made of healthy, balanced components.

Anywhere else, and I mean literally any place on the planet that's not the northern Mediterranean coast, you're gonna run into issues caused by the longer winters or summers, which will have, historically, two effects on cuisine.
In the case of longer winters, the scarcity of produce and the difficulties in rearing cattle will lead on poorer variety of ingredients. The local cuisine will evolve to ensure you can always make "something" that'll get you throuth the cold day, even if you lack the means to reheat it later.
Cold meats, potatoes, soups, anything that can be made in huge quantities in a single pot then spooned out into portions and tastes the same when cold.
Longer summers cause rapid spoilage, more difficulties in ensuring a variety of ingredients can be sourced during the off-season, and favors the growth of herbs and spices. Which is why hotter regions are so rife with not very varied "types" of dishes, but a ton of ways of essentially dressing up the same dish a billion ways by variating the spice mix.

tl;dr
Italy and the surrounding regions are literally the only places on Earth where evolving a proper cuisine was even physically possible for 99% of human history.

[Anonymous No.18611602]

>>18611565
Most of that is locally sourced and good for you though.
I don't know why lentils make you so mad (as they're part of the much more popular Italian cuisine too anyway), same for chickpeas.
You also need to remember that the food consumed in a region by the people that live there =/= "typical" dishes.

Throwing pieces of fresh sausage on a bed of veggies then eating it off bread isn't something you can give a name and sell to tourists, but it's still gonna end up meaning the population is gonna be much healthier seeing it as a staple food compared to regions where they'd be more likely to throw on three cold weiners on processed cheese and call it a meal.

this health talk is bullshit, as Germany, the US and Britain have some of the longest-lived populations on earth despite subsisting entirely on roast meat, potatoes and steamed veggies, which diet is undeniably tastier than cured meat, chickpeas and lentils.

They're all really low when compared to the above mentioned Mediterranean countries, dunno where you got that idea.
The highest ranked in your list is Germany and it's ranked 29th, 14 places under Spain's 15th, France's 14th and Italy's 10th.
The UK is 30th and the US is 57th by the way.

The UK and the US both have had long issues with obesity and can't source fresh food of most kinds (the UK due to it being an island, the US due to its size and the extremely low quality of the food circulated).
Even corrected for population groups and considering the higher incomes of whites in both countries, they're still consuming much more unbalanced diets and, even if they ate exactly the same things as Italy, you'd still run into the issue of ingredient quality in both the US and UK being extremely lower due to economic and geographical reasons.

After being lowered below the ground in 2016, making these "improvements" just little steps forward after a gigantic step back.
Germany is still the only place in western Europe (not counting the UK) where US meat is considered fit for consumption, it's an unacceptably low standard.
