You can juuust make out the Swedish rondell: a circle with 3 crowns.
As I see it, English has the word fruit twice.
Once as a sweet fruit.
And once as anything that is produced to hold the seeds. Hazelnut is the fruit of the hazelnut tree. Mushroom is the fruit of the mycelium. Pinecone is the fruit of the pine.
Also fruits of your labour somewhere.
Lybia is not a NATO thing. UK, France and USA bombed some ships and ports in Libya, but I still remember the headlines and news that Germany didn’t want anything to do with that.
So it was a coordinated action between some members of NATO on their own.
But we have Eszett
(s + z = ß)
Nah man, that’s just English.
Other European languages are mostly completely phonetic with exceptions. English is a mess.
You would just have to learn the clusters. Like in French “eaux” makes an /o/ sound, but it’s always that same sound, wherever you encounter it.
Polish looks like letter salad for the uninitiated, but is also consistent in its own rules. Cz = tsh, sz = sh and so on. Once you’ve cracked the code, it’s not difficult to pronounce polish words.
Kartoffelpuffer (which can be described as potato pancake) with apple sauce.
Or Rhenish Sour Roast a beef roast with sweet and sour aromas. But an involved process.
If you’re feeling risky: Himmel un Ääd/ Sky and Earth . I have never eaten it myself (so far).
I can not agree. As I said, potato and apple meet in half of my regional dishes. And those are farmer’s food, not rich.
Scandinavian and Alpine dishes love lingonberry sauce on dark meat or schnitzel.
I think the best way, is to not think of “western cuisine” as a thing that exists uniformly.
PS: obviously we cook differently than SE Asia, but red cabbage is sweet, carrots are sweet and caramelised onions are sweet. And they are really often used with savory dishes.
Someone knows how to enjoy life :)
We have a few potato and apple combinations in the Rhineland.
Also goose with quince or pear are present in french cuisine.
I think traditional European cooking has many similarities with south med/ near east cooking. Don’t lob us in with modern American randomness.
You think Italian and Portuguese don’t?

When you realise to late, that it was a question
O oh
It’s the quenchiest!
Continuous ecosystem, why not
How did it happen that many people (Americans???) flush fish down the toilet?
Just bury it, like you would any other dead pet.
What’s your problem with Luxemburg and the Netherlands?
If I had a cruise ship parked there, stinking up the fjord, I would also write a hate song or two.
Fr they are an environmental disaster and they don’t bring any tourist money to the places they destroy. All money is spent within the ship.
In German it’s cutely named Siebenschläfer (seven sleeper). Cause it’s hibernating for approx 7 months, or just a lot.
