That's not Germany that's Bavaria. Come on, every country has that one part full of crazy people that you don't want to compare the whole country to.

    So, Bavaria is Germany’s version of Montreal or Florida?

    I've seen it being compared to Texas before and - from a non-American point of view - that seems pretty accurate.

    Aren't Texans originally German settlers anyway?

    No. The original "settlement" (aka stealing land from and genociding indigenous people) of what is today Texas was done by the Spanish.

    When Spain claimed sovereignty over the area now known as Texas, they didn't actually have de facto control.

    A big chunk of modern day residents of Texas trace their lineage back to waves of German and Czech migration. One large wave showed up in the 1830's and 1840's, negotiated a treaty with the Comanches who still controlled the land, and established German-speaking settlements through much of Central Texas. So actual control over the land was established by Germans more than it was Spanish.

    Even in the portions of Texas conquered by Spanish settlers have now been settled by people who don't trace back to those Spaniards. The Spanish-speaking people of Texas declared independence with the rest of Mexico and became Mexicans. Then, after the war of Texas Independence, were mostly driven out by English-speaking Texians who had migrated from America (and largely trace back to to English, Scottish, or Irish migrants).

    So no, modern day Texans are more German than they are Spanish. Just because the Spanish were the first to do it doesn't mean that they or their descendants actually held the land in the centuries that followed.

    In my hometown up in the north, there was a students pub that offered a "whore's breakfast" ("Nuttenfrühstück") that was just a cup of coffee and a cig, so....

    I moved from Bavaria to Saxony about two years ago. I always thought the whole "The West" "The East" thing was a joke and no one actually talked and thought like that.

    Then I realized that it was just that there is "The East", "The West", and "Bavaria". Bavarians don't identify with "The West". Nothing "The East" says about "The West" applies well to Bavaria. It's just a very shielded microcosm. Bavarians don't identify as Germans. They identify as Bavarians primarily. They are doing their own thing.

    The “Perfect For Sharing” title should be placed on the top part of the box. At first glance, I thought the last meal was the one for sharing.

    That’s almost like the old ”Finnish Breakfast Meme” but a healthier version.

    1 cigarette for a €1? That seems like a deal.

    Replace the water with coffee and it's the European breakfast in its purest form.
