    As a German, I’ll have to disappoint you even further: These aren’t pretzels at all.

      I do love a good regular pretzel, but IMHO, American hard pretzels are a pretty awesome snack. But yeah, they’re more like an Italian breadstick.

      And also, Americans took hard breadsticks and made a soft variant of them. Us Americans like to iterate on the foods our great grandparents brought over to the colonies.

        Germany has over 300 variants of bread. We don’t only have pretzels, we also have all kinds of different stuff baked in soda lye.

        We even have a song about it. Baby got Laugengebäck.

        I’ve been to the US. 2 times, in fact. While I really, really love american people… Your bread is pretty bad. I mean… Even our regular grocery store bread is better than what I had in the US. Which is sad. There are several articles and videos on the web that explain why that is.

          It kind of depends on the state you go to. America is pretty damn big, and different regions are known for different things. Food varies a lot across the US, just as it varies across Europe.

          I’m in California’s San Francisco Bay Area. And we’re bread snobs over here. I’m confident that California can throw down if brought into a bread fight.

            Don’t want to offend you at all, but I’m still 100% sure that american bread isn’t as good as german bread. No matter where it comes from in america. Germans practically “live” their bread. German bread is also a UNESCO world heritage.

            I’ve been to many places in the world and the world got some damn good food. Food is where Germany often lacks (in my opinion). But one single thing that I always miss when I go abroad: German bread.

            I live at the border to Denmark. When I pass the border and head to the grocery store over there, the bread sucks. Like, really.

            Germans are just very serious with bread and beer (I head someone call beer “liquid bread”).

            Edit: Calling my american brother @[email protected]. He’s been to Germany 3 times now. What do you think about our bread, bro? 😆

              Unrelated note, I’m pretty happy to be off Reddit and chatting with you about bread on Lemmy. I’d offer to send you some local bread, but I know it just wouldn’t be the same after being in a plastic bag for a week on a plane. 😆
