AdmiralShat,

There’s a big difference.

One you’re putting berries on cheese with carbs

The other you’re putting berries in cheese with carbs

See the issue?

Bene7rddso,

Yes. So Sprinkling raisins on top of the mac&cheese is fine

HotDogFingies,

YES.

Calm down, 'Muricans. We didn’t lose our shit when you replaced the Spatzen in Kässpatzen with Macaroni and the cheese in Kässpatzen with fatty, gloopy cheddar “sauce”. You can bear this one.

We're dumb and very deserving of ridicule, but let me correct you anyway.

Macaroni and Cheese was introduced to the US by James Hemings, a man enslaved by Thomas Jefferson (our 3rd president), after returning from Italy, where he learned how to do pasta stuff because Tommy just loved noods.

So, yeah. Slavery.

Starshader,

Don’t be so mean, they do not have access to quality food.

Interesting. Mac and cheese, it seems, evolved from the pasta and cheese casserole dishes of Italy and England popular around the 14th and 15th century. While kasspatzen seems to have originated from around the areas of southern Germany with no mention of it as a dish until about the 1700’s.

Curious that.

First of all: Don’t you think Kässpatzen “evolved from” something, too? Like… both are “cooked dough stuff with cheese”

And secondly: your argument is not the counter you might think it is. The core of my argument was that Mac and Cheese are a downgrade to the food it came from. It doesn’t matter, if the origins are in Italy or Germany, the argument stands. Slopping fat with cheese flavor on pasta is nothing one could claim any culinary high ground with

And lastly: we all agree that this is some light hearted, friendly banter here, and not some patriotic conflict about cultural superiority, right?

Yeah sure, I don’t care. But the Italians in the other room might lose their shit if they find out the Germans ruined their casserole with unholy German egg noodles.

PsychedSy,

Dried egg noodles are the true crime.

PsychedSy,

Dude raemes egg noods are the best.

You wouldn’t be assuming that everyone on Lemmy is American, would you? Because I lost my shit over that too.

Blubber28,

I’m Dutch myself so nope, not assuming so XD

Nevertheless, as a European, it is my continental duty to shit on Americans, which is (partially) why I made the meme :P

Ejh3k,

Hold the fucking phone bud. You can shit on America all you want, but don’t. Think you can shit on Americans all you want.

It was Americans that saved you all in ww2. We are mostly good and decent people.

But, I have never in my life seen raisins anywhere near Mac & cheese. I’ve never seen olives near it either.

Dontfearthereaper123,

Did you not realise the irony of making this comment?

Juvyn00b,

They either full well do… or full well don’t. Either way, that’s entertaining!

Nythos,

Why do uptight Americans always go straight for “we saved your arse in WWII” whenever they feel the slightest bit offended someone riffed their country a tiny bit.

HotDogFingies,
@HotDogFingies@kbin.social avatar

Nationalism is a bitch.

Ejh3k,

Oh? The greatest credible threat to the world? Not saying that dropping two nukes on the country that invaded and raped or killed uncountable numbers of people is heroic, but without us and the lend lease, Europe was fucking done for.

Also, none of us say arse.

Thirdly, we fucking did save your ass in ww2. Also in ww1. I’m literally never the ugly American in public, I’ve had Turkish taxi drivers in German ask me why I want to go to the American army base because I’m so not that person.

But give credit where it’s due.

Shut up, Grandpa. You're embarrassing me.

Ejh3k,

You’re embarrassing yourself.

SatansMaggotyCumFart,

May all your mac and cheese have raisins in it.

sock,

ur funny

you saved nobodies ass and its EMBARRASSING youre taking ANY credit when you probably ask for help getting a milk jug out of the fridge.

you saved nobody. america now has saved nobody. soldiers arent heroes theyre people that want to survive stop glorifying the war and the us like we won a call of duty campaign. America wants its own people to die and they want to capitalize on it.

the military is for fuckn weirdos that like supporting oil tycoons and if youre forced to join then you have my utmost respect as that fucking sucks.

if ur gonna talk shit at least have something to back it up how many one arm pullups can you do, how longs ur planche, front lever etc? oh you cant do any of these things because youre a couch politician, soldier, and patriot i forgot. focus on something useful in your life. america doesn’t wanna suck your dick

Ejh3k,

I was in my second week of basic training when 9/11 happened, so don’t give me shit about supporting oil companies.

I did my time. 15 months in baghdad in 03 and 04. Got hit with 13 IEDs, shot at nearly every day. You just don’t have a clue what you are talking about.

HotDogFingies,
@HotDogFingies@kbin.social avatar

Getting shot at comes with the job you willingly signed up for.

Peaty,

Yeah and the credit for WWII should be mostly given to the USSR.

namingthingsiseasy,

Jokes aside, it was Canada that liberated the Netherlands. And they took in the Dutch royal family as well. en.wikipedia.org/…/Canada–Netherlands_relations?u…

It’s actually quite a beautiful story to read about, for those who are interested.

SatansMaggotyCumFart,

That’s why we named the quintessential canadian winter warming move after them, the dutch oven.
