Thread 21683003

So why is it so hard to find German food in the US? I cant walk down my street without tripping over a pizza place, a taco place, and some random asian place. But for German I have to drive an hour and a half one way just to find a restaurant that specializes in German food.

Maybe there is no market for German food in "your street"

>>21683003 (OP)
Yeah, OP, I get it. NYC here and our historically German neighborhood (Yorkville) has only a few German remnants left: the Schaller & Weber deli, the Heidelberg restaurant, etc. S&W is still the best place in Manhattan to go for German groceries although they're not cheap of course.

And even then, certain things like the butterbrezel you can't find here, you'd have to make it yourself.

>>21683003 (OP)
Hamburgers are German

>>21683003 (OP)
Germans assimilated unlike browns. After two generations they stopped being German and started being American

>>21683100
That's not quite accurate. There were so many Germans that many towns were almost exclusively populated by Germans and they had German newspapers, German speaking schools etc. Anti-German sentiment from WW1 dramatically accelerated the assimilation process.

being obviously german would have gotten your shit burnt down during the world wars

I imagine Hitler probably has something to do with it.

>>21683003 (OP)
Pretzels, donuts, and other baked goods. Sausages and other styles of preserved meat. Brewing beer. Coleslaw. And of course, sauerkraut.

>>21683003 (OP)
Didn't they mostly move to the midwest/great plains? Maybe you're not looking in the right place.

>post doesn't exist anymore
lmao.
OP is still a retard. hamburgers, hotdogs, and pretzels exist and are plentiful. dumbass AI posted. suck it.

Why sell food when you have actual marketable skills

Because you don't call it "German Food" you just call it "food"

OPs point stands.
I cannot get a goddamn wiener schnitz within like 100 miles of me or more. Same with that great beef liver meatball soup thing. Or pork knuckle.
Shit sucks, German / Austrian cuisine is my favorite. Love visiting for that reason. Beers, pork, cabbage, and potatoes for like every meal. Heaven.

You don't live where the majority of them immigrated to. It's really that simple

>>21683003 (OP)
try wisconsin, but dont actually, its a giant fucking trashy retarded pretentious shithole and you're better off not wasting your money

I think pennsylvanias got a bunch of krauts. Its a big country and they are free to wander.

>>21683431
>You don't live where the majority of them immigrated to

But I do. I live in the midwest. So many germans moved to my city that they named part of it "the cabbage patch"

well... the Haber-Bosch ammonia production process is critical to modern fertilizer so actually ALL the food you eat is really german food :) you're welcome

>>21683444
>But I do. I live in the midwest. So many germans moved to my city that they named part of it "the cabbage patch"
Yup. There's a reason you can get sauerkraut as a pizza topping at Harris Pizza (QC) and Happy Joe's.

It's not the same if it isn't prepared and eaten im Vaterland.

I have never actually seen a picture of bread from the Anglosphere that wasn't this type of soft crust white bread. Can you post some examples of different types of bread from America?

Pic related is the bread selection of the average non-chain bakery in Germany.

Sounds like a >>21683003 (OP) problem, I've got like 6 in a 20 mile radius, 3 that I would feel like driving to. Southeast Texas is historically German, my greatgreatgrandpappy has a portrait in the Capitol building and we have a family cemetery going back 200 years with German names. I'm not really German btw lol bloodline has disseminated. But point is, time to move, but not here, fuck off we're full

>>21683003 (OP)
Um the hamburger originated in Hamburg

>>21683021
They pour in spicy cultures to replace white cultures.

>>21683120
Ww2 was huge for getting rid of any and all German pride. My relatives hated Germans.

Chicken tendies are basically schnitzel.
Other than the French and maybe Mexico no nation contributed more to general "American" food than the Germans

>>21683453
Good lord

Don't worry guys, at this rate there will be no German cuisine or culture left anywhere in the world in the next 50 years. We're slowly being exterminated.

>>21683431
>where the majority of them immigrated to
German blood is everywhere in the US; you'll find Manns and Schmidts and whatnot from Pennsylvania to Texas and beyond. I've lived in various corners of New England, not famed for its Teutonics, and they're here too. The only states that are safe are Hawaii and Utah.

>>21683003 (OP)

The short answer is that the German Americans, the largest minority in America at the time, were culturally genocided by the anglos during ww1. German Americans were put in camps, forbidden from speaking their language and practicing their customs, and forced to change their names. Prior to 1914, in every major American city there'd be a German minority community where you'd easily find German restaurants and groceries, and if this were the Midwest, the majority population would be German and you'd definitely speak German yourself even if you weren't, having picked it up from your friends during school/your parents forced you to go to a German school so you could help translate for your dad's business.

This is what happens when anglos encounter other European cultures; their first instinct is to destroy them. This happens all the time, in America, South Africa, Canada I mean the list goes on: anglos will speak to dominate then destroy other European cultures and populations. That is their way.

>>21683003 (OP)
every single super market here has:
donuts
sausages
rye bread
pork chops
prepacked sauerkraut
prepacked coleslaw
strudels
prepacked spatzle
german style beers

>>21683409
That’s because it evolved into chicken fried steak. If you can’t see the obvious German influence on the culinary culture of America you might just be retarded.

>>21684636
Every single super market has a shit ton of Italian, Asian, and Mexican foods too. But like the op post stated, you cant go a block without running into an Italian, Asian, or Mexican restaurant in your average American town, while German restaurants are much rarer to come by.

American's don't eat hamburgers, hot dogs or beer? Please tell me this is a low-effort troll

>>21683003 (OP)
Germans are the whypipo of the food world.

>>21684715
There's also a lot of Asian and Mexican immigrants.
German immigrants are usually middle class business types.

>>21684588
And the parts of those states where they actually live/lived integrated the food into daily life to the point you can buy schnitzel varients at standard american diners.

>>21683003 (OP)
this is a myth

>>21683528
That's also the bread selection of the average chain grocery store in the US. That sweet soft crust stuff of which you speak isn't even sold in the bakery section, it's sold in the children's snack section next to the twinkies and cinnamon rolls.

It's good to build a new identity in a new place.

>>21683100
>>21683120
My grandparents came here, after "surviving" the fictional Holocaust, and assimilated so hard that my dad was raised southern Baptist, as was I, and neither of us are circumcised. Gramps was super into John Wayne and redneck culture, fishing, mudding, driving big old trucks, football, everything American.

All of these common American staple foods are of German origin. You're like a fish who can't see the water surrounding you.

Those are some swarthy looking Germans.

>>21683453
Sauerkraut on pizza sounds good, maybe more so if it's a white pizza, but what the hell is going on on the other half, Cool Ranch Doritos?

>>21683003 (OP)
They really blended into the goyslop populace in most places, but there's some nerve centers of German population in the Midwest, Pennsylvania, and Texas.

Fredericksburg and New Braunfels in Central Texas have a decent amount of solid German food for the size of those towns. If you're lucky you might even hear some old timers speaking Texasdeutsch

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_German_language

Germans assimilated more into American culture than Italians or the Chinese did. The former just became standard White Americans while the latter became hyphenated-Americans, which is why so many of them still call themselves Italian or Chinese instead of just American.

Shut up, retard. The poster you mock is correct.

>"'Kommandant' Like a commander. ... I like that, that's respect..."

German food is overrated, everyone around them also have bread, potato, sausages and fermented cabbage. When they invaded Paris, French food mindbroke the common soldiers because they ate good food in their existence before. It was so bad, some would kill themselves once they knew they would go from French food to shitty belorussian pillaged food and german rations

It's a shame it isn't more common. I'm in VA and have a nearby German restaurant that I love but I'm pretty sure the woman who owns it is a first generation immigrant. It's always packed when I go so there's definitely a market.

>>21689288
It does except it's missing the most basic condiment, melted butter.

>So why is it so hard to find German food in the US?
Because ze Zermans came over in the 18th-19th century. European food at that time was garbage.

>>21683003 (OP)
I'd love a traditional German joint, lederhosen and all too, but you need to understand just how much a lot of our food is already pretty damn German in origin. Let's forget the theme for now, and just consider menu items, yeah? There really isn't that much that would stand out, and upon those things that do, the FDA has a heavy hand over due to our meat processing not being anywhere near as good as in Europe.
German food can, for the most part, be boiled down to just sausages, potatoes, cabbage, mustard and beer. For the fishy stuff I'm used to from the north, you'd have to live in a coastal state for, and I can guarantee you can get your fish sandwiches easy. I like mine with red onion and pickled peppers.
Anyway, what I'm trying to get at is, back in the day, Krauts had such a strong culture over here that over the years really just kinda mixed in, that you're probably eating Krautchow without even realizing it. The brown people just lump it in under the generic label of "white people food"

>>21683003 (OP)
Haven't seen many German restaurants around here, but there are a lot of German/Bavarian bakeries.

Taco pizza. Fairly common in the Midwest.

Schnitzel is very easy to make at home and it's cheap if you use pork instead of veal. In a restaurant that's one of the most overpriced meals you can get

>>21690576
>if you use pork instead

That's a pork tenderloin and it belongs on a sandwich.

>>21690617
Nah, Pork Schnitzel is just as good as Veal Schnitzel and it can be better. The Pork Schnitzel in the most famous Schnitzel restaurant in Vienna is actually better than the Veal one and Figlmüller is not exactly a tourist trap. They're famous because they're top tier

The german restaurant I go to is full of guns, clocks, and german WWII paraphenalia. Not sure how it hasn’t been #canceled yet but it’s a unique vibe. I think the owner fought on the eastern front

Retarded philistine take. Mexico has some solid German restaurants. They love German food and Germany. All their major breweries were founded by German immigrants and the accordion in Norteño and Tejano is a German cultural contribution.

This thread makes me curious, have you Americans ever ate pic related? Pork knuckles with potato salad. It's my favorite food here and I could never live without it anymore. It's like the roasted chicken but 100 times better with a very crunchy delicious skin. If you drink a beer before and have that slight tipsy vibe, it tastes even better. Reminds me that tomorrow is saturday and I'm probably going there for lunch again, good my wife is driving.

I think German food is to the core very basic and more about the meat itself. Less spices, less work, just show it's main ingredient form the best side. Maybe? not sure. But that would explain why it's not so popular, because it's not as flashy as your nice burito full of flavors and colors.

>>21691191
Schweinhaxe? I had it at the Hofbräuhaus München when I was there for oktoberfest. It was decent, didn’t really blow me away though. And I’m not crazy about those potato dumplings with that thick/gelatinous texture. I was very hungover though

Also no one told me only tourists wear leiderhosen

German cuisine integrated into broader American culture, to the point it has lost a recognisably 'German' distinction.

Germans were the Mexicans of the 19th century

>>21687578
similar enough that English speakers used to not make a distinction. the word 'Dutch' exists as a corruption of the German word for German people; 'Deutsch'. Germans don't call themselves German, 'Germany' is simply a historic region within the former Prussian Empire.

Goddamn, for whatever reason, this particular topic really brings out the argumentative retards. What's your deal? Think it would be bad to talk about German food like its tasty or something? Interestingly, the same exact type of bullshit pops up whenever a thread is created, that discusses eating pork. Huh. Wonder why that is?

Middle class whites don't open restaurants. Not in germany either any more. Most of the "german" restaurants over here are run by greeks or yugoslavs.

>white flight happens
>leftover "white" trash can't rub two brain cells together to figure out why they can't get euro food in neosomalia/little Iraq

their biggest contributions were absorbed fully into the vague notion of americana and thus no longer stand out as ethnic food. all that's left outside of that is sauerkraut, a couple sausage varieties, and a few snacks like pretzels. It's similar to english, irish and french cuisine.
