What Do Europeans Eat?

[blcxm]

In Holland we only eat Gouda cheese, weed, windmills and tulips.

[Darkwing Duck (The Reincarnation)]

its all subjective, but to me the best europe-cookin is in Italy (best food culture in the world overall).
the worst --> definitely Great Britain 

[Fraxxx]

Italians mostly eat pizza and macaroni. Germans eat Bratwurst 4 days of the week.

Not all Germans. I prefer Satekroket from vending machines in train stations.

My girlfriend is Russian, today she fixed a mean Borschtsch for us. I mean, in this day and age everybody who is smart enough and can afford it don't eat with regional restrictions. I eat whatever is tasty and healthy.

lol of course bro, i live in LA and i've tried all types of food, Mediterranean, Peruvian, Argentinean, Mexican & Homemade Mexican, Brazilian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Thai, Tex-Mex, Italian,


but like for asians and mexicans, when they eat in, they eat their ethnic meals.

i mean do the brits eat fish and chips all day? or do they eat like white americans with like for dinner they'd prob eat some red meat (meat loaf or some sort of steak), with some veggies, and some type of starch either potato or mixed rice.


i mean sounds stupid, but I'm pretty curious.

I guess at least my parents' generation ate mostly as you said for Americans, piece of meat, veggies, potatoes, all in different variations. Nowadays too many eat junk food bullshit, in different variations, cuz they are all brainwashed.

yeah my asian friends eat their ethnic meals when they eat in, that is mostly rice, pho, bo bun, that type of food.

I grew up in a globalized era and in a multicultural society, so when I eat in or out it can be very varied. i eat salads a lot, beef (steaks mostly), pork, lamb, duck, fish, lasagna, pizza, chinese/vietnamese food, and of course cheese.

but the main trends in france are :

Pizza : believe it or not, French people are the biggest pizza consumers in Europe, and that's a specialty in south of france (i'm guessing it's due to the massive italian heritage over there, especially in the south east).

Wine : that's a given, like beer in Germany, most people drink wine at lunch & dinner, whether white, rosé or red according to the meal

Cheese : that's another given, so many different types of cheese, when i was in America that's what I missed the most

Brie


Roquefort


Raclette


Pork : i know Americans eat bacon a lot, i discovered bacon when i was in Canada in 1995 (even though bacon is pretty common in france too), never really liked it, I prefer French pork by far, whether it's bayonne ham, regular ham or saucisson, my favorite food in the world lol,  we also eat chorizzo a lot but that's from Spain






Pastries : well it's another given, I'm not a huge fan of pastries, i don't eat that much sweet food, but I do enjoy croissants, pains aux raisins ( & pains au chocolat ) and éclairs aux chocolats






and of course, the baguette, which is a staple here,

[Sikotic™]

I'm a cold cut and fresh bread fiend. I see you, Euros.

[Portugoal]

I know you're actually not lying about the wine. French really do drink wine at lunch.

.. but Germans don't really drink beer at lunch, do they? lol

[blcxm]

They drink beer at lunch in Denmark, though.

lmao.

[Fraxxx]

^^^ No, most Germans don't drink beer with their lunches, we drink it for breakfast.

One thing I miss when I'm not in Germany (propably the only thing) is the bread. The bakery I go to got 18 different kinds of bread and 13 kinds of bread roll.

I know there are German bakeries in Japan and the US and it's a speciality but here it's pretty common to have such a wide range of bread types.

My favorite is this:

[Furor Teutonicus]

The standard meal here is

some sort of meat + potatoes + salad/vegetables

That's the holy trinity you shouldn't fuck with.
Potatoes can be replaced by rice or noodles, but ever since Frederick The Great introduced potatoes Germans eat potatoes

I would prefer fish as meat, but sadly you won't find fresh fish for a reasonable price here. In this regard I envy the Germans in the North

Pretty much the same and LA is as global as it gets

Region does not dictate what you eat....

I'm from Scotland, but I hate stovies. I rarely have Haggis (although I do like it) and I can't remember the last time I had a piece of shortbread.. I say this though as I drink my whiskey 

Certain foods just represent for the country. Don't read too much into it..

I have cereals, pop tarts, toast, porridge, bagels, and all sorts of different stuff for breakfast depending on what I feel like

I eat sandwiches, chicken pieces, burgers, pizza, pasta, steaks, mcdonalds, kfc, stir fry's, rice, and anything else... Asking what people eat would just result in a very very long answer
