Summer sausage is a huge thing in Germany, it's like the classic hiking snack. I loving love landjäger. I think there's also more traditional jerky being sold there too.

Yeah, there's a butcher near me that sells homemade landjaeger and dried kabanosy, and they're fantastic snacks.

Only place I ever found it was in a little village called Sointula on a tiny island off Vancouver Island. And I've been looking ever since.

I like the taste testing at 16:00 to see if it was salty enough.

Looks gross but its just a mushed up bologna sandwich with pickles. We do the same thing unironically with ham twice a year after christmas/easter.

Good root beer is very hard to find in the Cardassia I must be one of very few brits who actually likes it. Probably because the most common (comparatively) brand is Bundaberg, who are Australian and just don't get it. They do good ginger beer though.

Berries That Burn

Birch beer is like rootbeer from a parallel universe. Close enough that if you like one, you'll like the other. But different enough that it is 100% its own thing.

In upstate NY you can get some really nice locally made franks or white hots w/ brown mustard and onions, plus fries, plus a birch beer at an old timey diner type place near you.

One of my top contenders if I ever got put on death row and had to choose a last meal.

And while people are talking about sodas from other countries: I'm a gross person that loves sodas that are just based on bitter citrus flavor. They're all over Europe and I can seldom find them here in the US.



This is the soda I drink the most, but I don't think it really sells outside of Ireland. It's not as seltzer-ish as San Pellegrino and not as sweet as lemon Fanta, but it's has a good lemon kick.

Fun fact: the company's first product was an unflavoured fizzy drink called Club Soda, which was originally a trademarked brand but is now used as a generic term.

My college's dorm cafeteria used to do something similar except in individual serving-size portions. A thin sheet of oily, rubbery, overcooked egg rolled or folded up a few times. Called it "grilled eggs" and it was there every drat day.

I so badly wanted a plate of normal scrambled eggs just one time instead. :smith:

Oh my god, the canteen at a place I used to work for served this once and I have never seen anyone more defeated/about to murder someone than a colleague on the day they served this.

Eggs seem like the one food that has been the target of the most ludicrous amount of kitchen gadgets, cooking "techniques" and secret tricks.

Like crack a loving egg into a pan and cook, or heat some water and use a timer; you don't need 4-5 different unique devices for cooking an egg a specific way.

I say this as someone who bought one of those magic egg cookers for soft-hard boiled eggs and since then having eaten a couple hundred eggs I've used it 2x and just made fried/scrambled every other time.

I worked in an enormous office once that had the blandest possible food options (actually a point of irony given the employer, it was a running joke) ... except for the one guy who worked the grill for breakfast sandwiches. Everything was cooked to order, and well. He had a crowd every day, knew people's orders and greeted them by name, and cracked jokes as he slung amazing egg and bacon sandwiches.

Omg, I have some hospital cafeteria gripes. Doctors get free food, they also have access to a special dining room but don't always use it. Some doctors would come in on weekends and get bags and bags of product from the freezer cases, and stacks of boxed up meals, and take it home, because it's always free no matter how much they want to get, total abuse of the system that I have witnessed. Saw a doctor drive up to the patient entrance, leave his car running, get a bag full of muscle milk, like 12, get back in his car and drive home, was on a saturday and he was in street clothes. The hospital grunt on the other hand have to pay very marked up prices for everything. You don't get away from the salad bar for less than 10 bucks. And the food sucks but some people swear by it like it's lucky or something. Had undercooked chicken a few times at the grill and threw a loving fit. Ok those are my stories.

I remember being pretty put off by the surprising lack of interest in food safety procedure at the hospital cafe when my son was born. Seems like a place you'd want to be extra careful...

My Lovely Horse

One place I worked at had a cafeteria with the usual standards: bland unexciting dishes, vegetables cooked to a mush etc. Never had exactly what was advertised in the weekly meal plan, so you'd settle on something that sounded sort of okay and on the day find out they were substituting something lovely for the only good part. It was a pretty isolated institution, the cafeteria was the only place around where you could reasonably get food, and the guy running it knew. In addition, he was a sloppy server. I only went like 5-6 times but twice the guy dropped a chicken breast or a helping of lasagna into the soup container and would just fish it out and hand you a chicken breast swimming in soup or a soaky mush of lasagna all like "yep that's your meal today buddy, what you gonna do about it."

This was at one of the highest legal institutions in my country. You'd think they could find a decent caterer.

I definitely had a similar experience when my roommate had surgery.

On the other hand the food we could order to the room was actually pretty decent if on the bland side.

EDIT:

The bad hospital though had very bad food.

I think there's legal certifications that are supposed to be required for people to work in food safety that are just commonly ignored and unenforced. I remember when I worked at a theme park concessions, they mentioned that there was some license I would need to get at some point that they never mentioned again.

There was also a cleaning schedule for the equipment that when I was being trained I was just told to ignore.

that cert was so the company could throw you under the bus after something happened after they told you the wrong thing to do.
