As a German I can confirm we only eat raw pork, pretzel and Bratwurst for lunch every day. We also only drink beer.

No their far right party is on the rise and therefore not welcoming newcomers. But I lived there some years ago and Mett is soooo good and of course their beer is on another level from the rest of the planet

Raw beer

u/EmployeeExpert7303 2h ago

As a true German I have to correct you: Raw Pork Beer of course

u/knightriderin 1h ago

No, we like our meat raw and the beer cooked.

1

u/Aggravating-Pace4059 1h ago

As a matter of fact, the beer ought to be cooked in a sausage while the mett ought to be frozen in a pretzel form thank you very much und guten Tag noch

u/derBruno_ 17m ago

No. We eat barley, hops and yeast, then drink water and THEN we piss out beer

u/Bier-Senf-Mische 7h ago

That pretty much sums up my day

As a German, I can confirm. I love my raw meat and Pretzels, and Bratwurst and Beer.

u/protozoon101 4h ago

Yep. Everything else is a lie.

While wearing Lederhosen and Dirndls.

u/teddyvd2002 7h ago

Oh ja, we do that very much. Und for special occasions we eat the Mettigel. It is a hedgehog made of Mett. Sehr lecker.

u/IAmAPirrrrate 10h ago

dont forget about the Mettigel for vesper

1

u/Cucumberneck 8h ago

Oh you people with your southern state slang. What is Vesper again?

1

u/IAmAPirrrrate 6h ago

its a small meal between Mittag and Abendbrot, can also mean straight up Abendbrot in some areas tho

1

u/Cucumberneck 5h ago

So... Deftiger Kaffee.

u/ichbinsflow 7h ago

To be fair the Mettigel has been out of fashion since the eighties.

Although we still do eat Mettbrötchen. Occasionally. Like - maybe twice a year. Unless you are a craftsman. Then you have it for breakfast every day.

u/FeuerLohe 4h ago

Or you drive past a backers that has a window that opens towards the street so you can pick something up without having to go inside. It’s not really saving time but it sure feels like it and it’s just so convenient to pick up a Mettbrötchen as a treat.

I'm sorry I don't speak european. Could you translate in to normal? 

2

u/Fun-Understanding258 10h ago

Mettigel is a compound word: Mett (minced, seasoned raw pork) + Igel (hedgehog)

You shape the meat into a sort of body and use thin slices of onion to make the quills.

2

u/Kind-Block-9027 10h ago

Or laugenstange (pretzel sticks) as quills

u/Worried-You9307 8h ago

with pepper corns for eyes

Who's Matt Eagle?

u/igittigitt1972 7h ago

German here, can confirm Zwiebelmett for breakfast, Schnitzel for lunch and Bratwurst with Sauerkraut for dinner. Sometimes pork belly instead of Bratwurst or sourdough bread instead of Bratkartoffel. Every day!
Enjoy your meal!

u/at0mheart 1h ago

Very wrong. Typical German lunch is the biggest meal of the day. Mett is served as Abendbrot (evening bread/dinner) or maybe a weekend breakfast/brunch

1

u/CptnHnryAvry 1h ago

No you're wrong, some real germans agreed with me. You should quit acting foolish on the internet. 

1

u/Ok_Constant_3828 6m ago

While lunch is typically our biggest meal of the day, Mett is usually to be served for breakfast.

u/RogueModron 1h ago

American immigrant to Germany, can confirm. White sausage in the morning washed down with a Hefe (I know, Germans, we Americans shorten the word using the beginning and not the end and this is wrong), EITHER raw pork for lunch OR, for some reason, warm sweet rice in milk with cherries, and dinner is these eggy-noodle things with an ungodly amount of cheese and fried onions on top. Dessert is a chocolate-covered marshmallow sandwich. It's good but it used to be a racial slur. Don't ask questions
