It's always a wonderful experience to see recipes from another country that are also a cultural dish where you're from BC it has you feeling really anything on the spectrum from 'oh just like we do it here' to 'hm interesting take might try that' to 'excuse me you do WHAT now????' to 'Heathens! Heretics! How dare they! Tasteless folk!!!!' and of course there's also the occasional 'wait that is GENIUS! That sounds like it could make a dish I had to be FORCED to eat as a child edible or even enjoyable!!' and of course also 'why does your culture often have such good takes on food yet you guys also eat this shit that barely qualifies as dog food?'

#so for the first there are obviously many examples. eg pancakes #and by pancakes i mean like i as a german look at czech pancakes and go 'mhm same thing'#for the second one I actually can't think of anything rn but i have had that experience #fourth one was eg my czech friend when she ordered Kartoffelpuffer in Dortmund and they came with apple sauce #fifth one was me when I bemoaned my hatred of Kartoffelpuffer to said czech friend and she told me what they put into bramboráky #sixth one is aspik obvsly #oh I guess smažák is second. like yes! fry cheese other than camembert! that's a great idea!!! Love it!#also I'd like to point out that this is in stark difference to when it's different takes on cultural dishes from broadly within your own #culture #then if you do one single thing differently than i do you are wrong and should be punished for crimes against food #this especially goes for naming food.#But also in general.#third one was btw when i found out that some poles put raisins into cheesecake. I don't even have an opinion #that shit's just weird #but this is a great example for my point bc if that was people from a german speaking country it would be on. sight.#for crimes against food. bc there is one right way to make a cheesecake and that's with Mürbeteig and in general the way my mum makes it.#if you're german and you make your cheesecake with yeast dough please leave right the fuck now #and re-evaluate your life choices that have caused you to stoop so low.#mürbeteig is shortcrust pastry btw
