As a Brit living in another country, I get this too. People make jokes about me liking Doctor Who, drinking lots of tea and having bad teeth.
How dare you but also that is completely accurate.

Are you singing this while in New York?
Germans aren't a "race".

But you are right I should have used country.... I will change that.

It's still Bretzel.
Pretzl is like the disabled version of it.

I spent a month in Germany last year. Turns out the most authentic German food is currywurst and middle eastern food lol.
But maybe that's just in Berlin. They probably have good potato based dishes in Bavaria.
Bavaria is probably the most "German" german region. That's where all the lederhosen stereotypes come from.
Basically it's the Texas of Germany. Old school, religious, and conservative.
Edit: in the very rural parts, they even have their own dialect that to some Germans is almost completely unintelligible. I realized this when I took German language classes in high school in the USA and what they were having me learn was very much NOT the way my Bavarian mother spoke to me. It felt kind of irritating when they told me I was pronouncing things wrong and my grammar was wrong when I fuckin' lived there as a child and spoke it fluently.
Well it's the part where after the second world war Americans temporarily governed and American soldiers and their families where stationed. So all they ever saw of Germany was Bavaria. They took their experience back home and so the image spread.
Northern Germany is nothing like southern Germany. Yes they like their beer, but Bratwurst and pretzels? More fish and bread.
I was with you in the first half. But northern Germany still loves their beer and brats. We had bbqs almost every weekend and if you didn't have beer and brats, you might as well not have a party.
Although there almost always way just a full fish on the grill at some point only in northern Germany so I will give you that.
I must insist that it's very different beer though.
Bavaria is probably the most “German” german region.
So eine Frechheit! Nehmen Sie das sofort zurück!
Hey, if Germany can call America a bunch of corndog-eating cowboys, then we can call Germans tiroler hut-wearing yodelers.
Nah you are close. We eat "Döner" (a turkish dish modified for Germany, basically a german invention) curry wurst and "Wiener Schnitzel" with french fires.
We drink beer all over the country but about every 50 km you have a different kind of beer that is prefered and don't you dare to say a different beer is better.
Also the glasses in which the beer is drunken grows from north to south.
This guy's name is Michael Mittermeier fyi! He's been a comedian for ages!
Mettwurst, pickles and salami are part of my eating habits I exported. Getting good sauerkraut is difficult even in Germany, it's all just the cheap vinegar stuff instead of lactaid acid.
Okay this is gonna sound dumb but I'm bad at history. Is the reason there are so many German Asians because of the Axis during WWII?
Edit: Ah, it's because of the Vietnam war. This is mildly embarrassing but it's better than staying ignorant.
No.
A lot of people with (East) Asian roots in Germany are Vietnamese. West Germany had refugees during the American War in Vietnam and Eastern Germany had people coming over because of the socialist brotherhood thing (cheap workers for unpopular work).
Strange, I am German and I hate all three.
Best dish is dumplings with roulade and red cabbage.
It’s ok, like nothing special. Grünkohl is way better but I have another favourite. I would share it, but it’s so regional I’d basically doxx myself. And even if you’d know it, you don’t want to know what it’s made of ^^
