Look, right
German food, it’s just awful. They don’t like heat and put garlic and or paprika in everything as a leading flavour profile. Even savoury food has an off sweet taste. The supermarkets have such vast selections but it’s often of the same staple goods under different brands and price point; if they are biological or non biological. Specialty ingredients or regional items do not exist outside of dedicated stores.
This crucible forges a small minority of Germans who seemingly have the genetic mutation of tastebuds missing in the wider population to create some truly delicious bites. Small islands of reprieve amongst the seas of characterless Protestant food.
It’s not even like I’m a particularly harsh critic with a demanding palette, I’m a white woman who grew up in the Home Counties. If you’re disappointing me I can’t imagine how someone who tasted salt before 18 feels while holidaying in saxony.
Honestly, if it hadn’t been for @Tijmen and his partners truly spectacular cooking…
( I would audax through the continent just for their green chilli and white bean stew, seat a thousand challenge strada Biancis by hand for one more bite of his flat breads)
…every night and morning, I’d have considered paying for extra luggage next time I came just to bring basic cooking supplies.
