Yeah IKEA food is pretty good. And I can fuck with a Polish pierogi. The map should have just divided the UK from the rest of Europe.
We've already done that so you don't have to
Yeah the line clearly needs to be further south.
Third one is absolute BS. Switzerland should be completely green.
Stop right here citizen! We Swiss have a great cuisine! Cheese, potatoes, cheese, chocolate, cheese! Whats not to like?
Shots fired with the food lol
The colder it is, the harder it is to grow food and the less options and culinary innovation you have. It is what it is.
Religion probably played a role too. That line is almost the Protestantism-Catholicism divide. Protestants had to live a sober life and this probably extended to their cuisine. Like the Dutch and British traveled across the world and waged wars for spices and the spices barely entered their gastronomy. All they did was sell the spices to Southern Europe
it was well known that jesus loved plain potatoes with absolutely zero seasoning.
Potatoes in Judea before the Columbian Exchange? It truly is a miracle!
Well according to Joseph Smith Jesus went on a road trip in America after the resurrection. Why else would Jesus cross the pond? For the mighty tater of course.
South Korea has similar temperatures to most of the UK and their food is absolutely incredible, we need to find out how they pulled it off
They are more to the south though. They are somewhere around the same latitude as the Mediterranean. Even though they have snowy winters the winter season is shorter thus their growing season last much longer. Hence why they can grow a larger variety of vegetables.
Fermentation? I’m sure that’s not all of it but I think that’s how they got a lot of things to keep.
Speaking as a Swede, it’s true. Rotten fish is not a flavour, it’s a crime against gastronomy. Also flour is not a spice.
Mmh the first panel doesn’t “divide Europe”, so the title is misleading :P
Now excuse me while I distract myself from the impending doom.
What's 1 ÷ 1?
I think, they just forgot to color it in. Because the seas are prepared. Growing, even.
As long as it makes people angry it's succeeded
Don't half of autobahns actually have a speed limit? Or at least some of them / some stretches of road?
In Germany we call it Baustelle :D
In Germany we don't say "Our autobahns don't have any speed limit" we say "Na toll, natürlich wieder eine Baustelle! Was? Bis 2036 wollen die hier ackern? Na schönen Dank auch. Jetzt auch noch 60?! Pff 70 ist mein bestes Angebot!" And I find it beautiful.
Also we have the option, whether we want to „Bauarbeiter umfahren“ or „Bauarbeiter umfahren“
Yea but the other countries have a general limit.
Some stretches do have limits. But even where there are no speed limits there are suggested maximum limits. If you're over that limit and have an accident (that normally might not be deemed your fault) you're more likely to be held liable.
That's not true. About 70% have no limits, but if you're in an accident and you drove faster than 130km/h you can get partial blame. On the other parts there are some kind of limits and they are as hard as they are in other countries. ( well, Germany does not have the biggest fines, but it's still a hard limit).
The trick is not to survive when you're driving over 130, so you can avoid the blame.
so basically try to avoid driving at any speed between 130 and 200 km/h
201km/h it is. Got it.
Liechtenstein should have a special color for being one of the only 2 doubly landlocked countries in the world.
Why would you make the bad cuisine green and the good beige. It's literally the other way round.
To be fair we all know a beige banquet is peak British food.
It's British Dutch fusion
Air fryers are mandatory
As someone from northern Germany, I can confirm our food is straight up just better than that southern shit.
Do you mean food or feet?
As someone who lives in Austria, has been in Bavaria and has also been living half a year in Bremen (can't go much further North): No, it's not.
As so one who gre up in Bremen: How dare you.
