Only in Germany

Your packs come with 22?
They're available in different sizes
-
So, Bavaria is Germany’s version of Montreal or Florida?
Montreal is awesome wtf are you on about? You mean Alberta?

Let me introduce you to Mettbrötchen.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mett
Mett is raw minced pork meat, and it is delicious. You just need good food saftey standards.
If you have a "eeeeeew" gut reaction about eating raw pork - that's how I felt hearing about sushi the first time. It's mostly about what you're used to.
Sushi and Mett, they are both quite safe to eat here in Germany. Of course there's always some minor remaining risk, but that's a looooot smaller than the risk of getting ran over by a car on my way to the store.
Good safety standards are wildly different in EU and US. In many parts of EU some form of raw meat or other is common, raw milk is not too unusual. Consuming these items in US is a small step away from voluntary food poisoning. Not considering all the cases of unsafe foods delivered to the US supermarkets. Anecdotally, I would say some call back or other happens once a month in US (would love more precise data, too lazy to look)

Or so the French would have you believe

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.
"Babe, you just chill, I know exactly what to order"

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...
Well that last part sure sounds like FL or man of the fly over states.
-
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.

If the US had a state-sized version of Detroit, that would be a good comparison, too. Rust belt and such.

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

Aren't Texans originally German settlers anyway?
I believe that’s Wisconsin. Polish & German pocket of ancestry.

No. The original "settlement" (aka stealing land from and genociding indigenous people) of what is today Texas was done by the Spanish.
wrote last edited by [email protected]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.

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.

Ok, but that's still weird in my mind. That's not raw, that's preserved.
Uncooked ham is pretty common in the U.S., too. Anything labeled "country ham" is dry cured, and is usually uncooked. Prosciutto generally isn't cooked, either.
In terms of imports, the U.S. has approved the importation of some Spanish hams (jamón ibérico and jamón serrano) that are cured but not cooked, as well as uncooked prosciutto from Italy. The regulatory hoops are a little more difficult and hard for small producers to justify, but there are a handful of producers who have received the appropriate approvals to export to the U.S.

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. -
Still the tastiest thing you can get on that menu
You never had good sausage with cheese salad?
-
Is it good bread?
German bread is quite good generally

That’s almost like the old ”Finnish Breakfast Meme” but a healthier version.
