We Dutch people don’t even eat that much sauerkraut since it is a German dish. The French actually know us for our baked goods. You know the ones that kick in after an hour.

Nah, we actually respect italian cuisine.
"fries"
Accurate.
Got to love the French calling Italian food overrated, when their international recognized dish consists of black coffee and a cigarette.
Why they gotta do Ireland and Scotland dirty like that?
UK not even being on the map xD
Danish pastry is not soggy. On the contrary, it's a lot crispier than what the rest of Europe is eating.
Perhaps they're thinking of the pastry called a danish, which is not Danish. We ourselves call it a Berliner, but I think it's actually from Austria.
Wienerbrød, aka bread from Wien was inspired by Austrian bakers (classic "neutral" SCABS!) who came up to work in Denmark during a huge baker's strike in the mid 1800s. But as is the Danish way, we managed to pump it full of dairy, in this case butter.
But yeah, it is possible that it's referring to "remonce", the filling/topping used.
maybe it's actually swedish but wienerbröd is kinda soggy, isn't it?
The origins are unclear. The Danish bakers stole the recipe for soggy cakes from Vienna, hence the name, but then the Austrian bakers startede calling it a copenhagen plunder. Immigrants brought the cake to America by the name danish.
Technically the whole range of similar cakes are neither cakes, bread or pastry. They're viennoiseries, which is layered dough, just like croissants.
Every now and then this picture or some variation of pops up and my country gets slapped with being rice country.
We cook and eat better than the spanish, french and italians put together. And we are not afraid of our spices.
As a Pole, I find this offensive. We're more than just potato munchers.
We're also potato drinkers.
You forgot about rotten cabbage that is close to our hearts. In all shapes and forms.
Is there anything a potato can't do? 😍
please the french
They even dont recognise the potato as a seperate entity. They really just call them pomme de terre (ground apple) and job's a goodun.
Love how the UK isn’t even there
"THE VAST ATLANTIC OCEAN." Nothing to see here...
Completely valid criticism for hungary. I just put like a kilo of paprika on like 100 grams of chicken 💀
Why is the place with the best food labeled "famine"
Was gonna say, maybe I'm just not aware of it, but France had famine in it much later than the Balkans . . . .https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_famines
It’s the European equivalent of extreme poverty. But by world standards, they’re doing just fine lol.
I was gonna say they miss the wine and fancy cheeses, but now that I think about it the wine selection is actually fairly solid, and you don't get much fancier than Pule.
I like it how the map essentially says "we cannot find anything proper to complain about Italy."
