    There really isn’t much difference between the food in Britain, Germany, Sweden, etc. For example, they all basically do the same sausage and potatoes with poorly seasoned vegetables dish, just like every state in the US claims that they have a special version of pizza or hotdogs or whatever even though it’s really all just the same shit. It’s the narcissism of small differences.

    Oh my god in Sweden they have lingonberry jam on toast but in the UK they have marmalade on toast and in Germany they’ll put Nutella on toast holy shit so different.

      Makes sense when you look at it materially instead of from a place of nationalism. Why would there be significant differences between their foods? Those regions have access to the same basic foodstuffs and have the same basic climates. Of course they’d be similar.

        Additionally, the unspoken reality here is that we are all picturing some kind of imaginary essential pre-globalization cuisine and ignoring the fact that people in all of these countries are just as likely to eat a meal at a fucking McDonalds.
