Not enough pictures of the mise en place, whipping process and finished product lovingly plated by candlelight for a true GWS leak. Kinda would like to see that for simple whipped cream now though. But it's true, when a recipe calls for whipped cream most Germans won't immediately think of the canned stuff. That's more for when you serve cake or something spontaneously or didn't have time to prepare whipped cream. It's got the air of being caught off guard about it. Usually you still combine this  with this

He's rightfully bitched at for not knowing pretty much the most basic thing there is to know about "cooking" when a description of what it is, is right in the loving name. He might aswell ask what color red wine is.

What, it takes something like 2 minutes to whip a cup of cream. I'll have some fruit with whipped cream tomorrow just out of spite.

Love the 99% vs 98% "real eggs" - of course you add something, like salt, milk, water... poo poo I don't know. My mom used to add a lot of water and herbs to her scrambled eggs. God I loved those. That and her Kräuterquark. Can't wait till the next breakfast at my parents' home. It's either scrambled eggs, Kräuterquark or kickin' rad guacamole with her. It's not a typically German breakfast, sure, but what exactly does constitute a German breakfast? Strammer Max? Never had one of those. Oh yeah, I love how American "Schwarzbrot" is literally tanned toast, as in toast with black food coloring added. I mean it sure is weird coming from Germany/Europe in general but I just LOVE the size of American supermarkets and the food offered there.

I have until the end of this week to decide whether I want to move to Karlsruhe for 6 months to study my MEng Mechanical Engineering project, so I'd like to hear about the town, and any experiences or advice from Brits/Americans who are studying / have studied in Germany already. I also have a few questions which I'd love some of you to try to answer:
Any input, either to my questions or additional advice, would be much appreciated!

Hey goons, My plan is to go to germany in june/july and start on learning german so I can apply for a studienkolleg, and after that uni. I found this place called Sprachenakademie Aachen. They seem to be partners with the FH Aachen. Anyone ever heard about them? Are they legit?

At least they don't seem to be shady. I can'T say if they're good. And they're on a government list of recommended language teaching institutes: http://www.ich-spreche-deutsch.de/de/sprache-lernen/sprachschulen/sprachenakademie-aachen/

Hungry Gerbil posted:Bayreuth. Heh. Bayreuth is a great choice if Berlin, Freiburg, Heidelberg, Münster, Frankfurt, Passau, Munich, Hamburg and Konstanz are full. A city of 72.000 with a slightly above average Uni and mediocre cultural importance is not really the place to be, unless you are into the "Festspiele".

Is the difference between universities really that big a deal in Germany? I always thought (apart from the fact that most people get assigned randomly I think) that it was more about the city itself and less about the teaching quality or prestige, like in the US. I never heard anyone say "studied law in Munich" or something like that but you hear "studied law in Harvard" all the time. OK, anyway, travel question - I'm in Köln right now and I'll take the suggestions from earlier into consideration, especially the burger place and the Braukeller. Staying in Kalk, by the way, there seems to be a brewery here too, right next to the Kalk Kapelle. Any good? Any culinary recommendations for Nürnberg? Sights, too! Same for Munich. I don't know what else I'll be able to cover within the next week but I'm open for other suggestions city-wise in South Germany, too. Again, thanks in advance!

I never heard anyone say "studied law in Munich" or something like that but you hear "studied law in Harvard" all the time. Universities in big cities are mass universities. So you always have hundred or more students in the lectures. The professors won't know you even by face. Go to a small city and everything is much more personal. It's a matter of taste what level of personal attention you like better and which kind of city you like more, yes.

Speaking as someone who just droped out of law school, every law student has a bit of a superiority complex. Myself included. On another note. HopefullyWild, I don't know where you are from, or if you have considered that already, but keep in mind that the juridic system in germany and most of europe is quite distinct from the juridic system in countries like the US or the UK.And even if you do live in a country with similar system, you may still have a hard time getting to know your own country's law when you come back. quick edit: Anyway, if your ok with all I stated before, germany is home to some of the more revered jurists in the world, which may make all the effort worth it.

I remember someone here in this tread was studying in aachen, if he/she could comment would be cool. I don't really know what to tell you about Aachen other than it's bigger than a town but smaller than a city. Wikipedia says the population is 260,000 and about 30,000 of those are students (and of those probably 25,000 are guys*). There are two universities there, TH Aachen and FH Aachen, and RWTH Aachen is pretty well known all throughout Germany for their engineering programs (*hence the all guys joke...). The city is very walkable and lively due to all the students if you fall into that age category, plus there's a ton of history here. If you get bored of Aachen, you could always take the train somewhere close by (or out of the country, cause the city is located right on the German/Dutch/Belgian border): Cologne (1:15 hours), Dusseldorf (1:30 hours), Maastricht (NL, ~1:15 hours), Brussels (~1:00 hours), Amsterdam (~3:00 hours), etc. If you have more specific questions I'd be happy to answer them.

Aside from the guys thing it doesn't sound bad. And acording to dbahn paris is only around 2 hours also. I just wish it were closer to berlin, but 5/6 hours is not impossible to spend a weekend or some holidays.
