Over which dish is there a civil war in your country?

  • August 27, 2024



For Germany it's probably the great war between the (yucky) northern potato salad with mayonnaise,eggs and pickles and the (vastly superior) southern variety with vinegar, broth, and fried bacon&onions

  3. Potato, bacon and broth certainly sounds much nicer but also much less like a salad

  10. Arancina / Arancino war, though is a mere lexicology war.

    In Palermo area, you eat Arancina.

    In Catania area, you eat Arancino.

    The lexicology war is pretty heated.

  12. Chicken Tikka Masala which was invented by Ali Ahmed Aslam in Glasgow

    Begun, the curry wars have

  13. Potato Tortilla: with or without onion? Ofc WITH onion, that’s the only correct answer.

  15. For winter: pandoro or panettone.

    For the summer: peach tea or lemon tea.

    For all seasons: arancina or arancino.

  20. Friet🍟

    But only because uncivilised Hollanders call it ‘PaTaTâ€™đŸ„”

  21. I dont know. For me its putting mint into capuns, while many regions dont, but capuns is basically only made in one canton/state..

    Mustard on the bratwurst?

    Cheese fondue with or without potatoes?

    Ghackets mit Hörnli with or without applesauce?

    Cheese as apéro or dessert?

    I really dont now.

  23. Digga, lass die Eier weg und pack Bauchspeck rein.
    Schön mit sauren GĂŒrkchen und’n Tag ziehen lassen!

  24. Currywurst: Roasted Bratwurst or roasted scalded sausage? With or without coating? Curry sauce or curry ketchup?

    There’s so many different factors people are arguing about.

  25. The pronunciation of *Kex* (cracker)

    Sea crayfish Vs lake crayfish

    east coast “beef” kebab scraps Vs superior west coast pork gyros/kebab

  26. Not so much a dish issue in Ireland, we have no cuisine, but we do still have a kitchen issue. Where do you store your toaster? On the worktop or in the cupboard?

  29. Beer

    Munich Beer revolutions.

    The price of bread got raised. No reaction

    The price of beer got raised. Major civil unrest, brewerys got seized by the people and the military refused orders to intervene

    No matter where in germany you are from. Better nobody fuck with the beer

  30. We keep our traditions on civil wars, so we fight for a lot of recipes:

    * Potato omelette with/without onion.
    * Paella yihadists think there is only one recipe, but they forget that the pan where they do it is called paella too and also everything you cook on it.
    * Flamenquin is from Cordoba, but nothing done out of Cordoba is a real flamenquin.
    * Cocido. Oppressors think theirs is the only one valid. Who in hell makes a soup and detach ingredientes to eat them separated? Just the people who thinks fried calamari are ok for a sandwich.

  31. The fronteer between german speakers and animals (french speakers) is literally called the Rösti-trench in Switzerland.

    (Rösti being one of our national dishes)

  33. ![gif](giphy|x84Vdy91Q4O88)

    My Breton brothers and I could genuinely go to war for this shit. Normans and their filthy unsalted butter will be the first to go

  34. Souvlaki ir gyros or whatever you wanna call it….when you ask the name of it you might as well have caused the second greek civil war

  36. The inclusion or exclusion of black pudding and hash browns in a full English

    Special mention : Scones or scones or scones

  37. I can only think of ways to say dishs and foods
    Like sCon and scOne, Devon and Cornwall have the whole were to put the clotted cream on the sCon

    Some people (idiots) say a Sunday Roast is with beef others with chicken and some with any roasted meat… but like thats a method really and I again most of the arugments are over a method or a dish that started out differently and then got the same name over the years due to ‘food standardisation’ from cook books

    Edit: I come from Northumberland and just switch off when Snobby Southners talk about food so there could be arguments but I just don’t listern lol

  40. How to eat a ‘tompouce’.

    1. Take the top glazed part of, eat bottom part separate from top part. Obviously you end with top part want lekkerste voor het laatste bewaren.

    2. Stuff the entire thing in your gullet like a savage.

    3. Go completely mesjogge, take the top of, turn it around with the sticky delicious part down on the creamy part.

  41. Friet or patat, that’s the Dutch question. Our country is devided by some kind of French Fries Curtain. Limburg and North Brabant claim it’s friet and the rest calls it patat.

  43. German bros, you don’t need to go to war because of potato salad. Both versions suck!

    Stick to your sausages and beer!
