    The state of the german economy 😂 they are increasing the military budget at this moment, where would they get money to subsidize kebabs.

    This article almost feels like an Onion article, the german left is a joke.

      And yes it absolutely reads like an Onion headline but sadly it’s real. Instead of pushing for an end to this government’s insane warmongering policies and suicidal sanctions, the “left” has been reduced to begging for fast food subsidies…it really is pathetic.

      Gotta keep the bread part of “bread and circuses” affordable to keep the masses docile if you want to go to war…

        i’d definitely prefer throwing my life away in a war than eating German food, kebabs is the only good food they have and it’s not even from germany.

            i lived with a german family for a few weeks once upon a time and i swear the woman thought salt was a hot spice, to be used sparingly…

              Maybe they were trying to be “health conscious”. A lot of people think salt is bad for you. And they’re not totally wrong, excessive consumption of anything is bad for you but the question is how you define excess.

              Some people also have medical conditions that require them to monitor their sodium intake. So sometimes when you cook for a larger group of people you might undersalt the food and just let everyone season their own portion.

              And sometimes people are just bad cooks, that is also a possibility and doesn’t necessarily reflect the cuisine of the country.

                i dont think it was a dietary thing, i think she was just an incredibly bad cook. the mayo stereotype to the tee.

                but seriously, i thought i knew what undersalted pasta tasted like (my mother’s not great at this either) but jesus christ that german woman…
