No self respecting lifehacker would dream of paying less than that for their lovely hack though

Beer is gross. I prefer Sake from glorious Japan.

As a German, our food is absolute garbage but I'm really confused what food Belgium or Austria are supposed to have that are special to their countries.

All systems nominal.

There are sooo many empty counties on that map though.

German ancestry might still be the single largest group, but that's something like 15% overall. It hardly qualifies all of US as a Germanic country.

Germanic refers to a language family. It has gently caress-all to do with ancestry.

"American" is mostly white people who either don't know or don't identify with the European country/countries their ancestors came from.

Self report. A lot of white people just call themselves American. They may honestly not know anything else, but in any case they only identify as many generations American.

It kind of makes sense. If this was "choose one" and not "check all that apply," then "American" is sort of a catch all for anyone who has ancestors form multiple places and currently lives in the USA. It looks weird like this, though.

You see we Belgians are surrounded by the Germans, the Dutch, the Brits and the French.

Imagine we have to choose one of these countries to inspire us for our cooking.



It's not very difficult, 3 of these countries consider eating a necessity, and one a pleasure.


e: I don't know if it's a coincidence but the same 3 countries are all mostly protestant, and the other one is catholic

e2: there are not many typical Belgian food known worldwide besides fries, waffles and beers, but the common thing between all of Belgian food is that it has to be tasty and comforting. Belgians are basically hobbits

It's based on self-reported ancestry from census forms. So a whole lotta people in those areas just put "american" as their ethnicity.
