Nothing makes me feel more patriotic than to swallow a big, dry piece of bread and drinking a whole gallon of water. I get the same feeling of pride when I open a window at -10 degrees and tell everyone that fresh air is important for them. It's the legacy that our grand grand grand parents reported to us. "Stosslüften" and eating the most dark, dry bread with the hardest breadcrust you can find. If you don't eat the crust it's gonna rain for a decade.
