I had a European friend complain that Americans are so egocentric that they call their music "Country Music." He was also mad we put mayonaise on a pasta and call it a salad.

[-] Wild_Mastic@lemmy.world 53 points 7 months ago

I am also mad about the second part.

[-] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 17 points 7 months ago

If you want rage, Midwesterners put marshmallows in pistachio pudding and call it salad.

[-] chknbwl@lemmy.world 10 points 7 months ago

Green Fluff is just a derivative of Ambrosia, which is very much a Southern-States creation. We Midwesterners simply made it better. /j

Jokes aside, my grandmother used to make her own homemade cherry ambrosia. That recipe is lost with Dementia (she never wrote it down either, heh) so I'll probably never have Pink Fluff that good again. Don't knock it 'til you try it.

Pistachio pudding sounds amazing

[-] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago

It's a great dessert. But Midwesterns treat it exactly like a lettuce salad. Like you go to a buffet and people will put pistachio/marshmallow pudding on their plate next to their steak.

[-] Maeve@kbin.social 3 points 7 months ago

I never cared for it. Green jello pudding and I've never seen pistachios in it

[-] variants@possumpat.io 4 points 7 months ago

Oh that sounds a lot worse than what I imagined

[-] Maeve@kbin.social 2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

I mean, you'd have to taste it for yourself. I didn't like it but you may, you know?

ETA: here is a recipe in case you're interested

I was about to comment the same thing.

[-] nifty@lemmy.world 23 points 7 months ago

What did you eat today?

Oh just some salad

The salad

[-] Ranvier@sopuli.xyz 16 points 7 months ago

Do they not use the word country as a synonym for rural? I checked the Cambridge dictionary, it's their second definition listed, even higher than where that definition is listed in Merriam Webster. It's like complaining rock music is made with guitars instead of boulders. Does he also think that country is like the only genre of music made in America? Though some country singers do like to put a lot of nationalism in their music which does kind of confuse things.

I'm a firm mayo by itself as a sauce hater though so I'm with him there. Even more abominable are the jello (or jelly for those in the UK) "salads." It's not a salad!

[-] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

I think maybe he was just making a joke.

[-] BirdyBoogleBop@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 7 months ago

But Germans have litterally every kind of salad.

[-] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 17 points 7 months ago

Germans will literally put mayonnaise on sliced sausage and call that a salad.

[-] TheCheddarCheese@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago

TWO salads*

Keep in mind that Fleischsalat is different from Wurstsalat. The main difference is that Fleischsalat is made with mayo to be creamy while Wurstsalat is made with a simple vinaigrette as the dressing.

[-] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 1 points 7 months ago

There’s also Ochsenmaulsalat which is basically just thinly sliced beef mouth with vinaigrette and onions.

[-] irreticent@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

thinly sliced beef mouth

I've never heard of "beef mouth" as a cut of meat. What meat is it from? Tongue, cheek, etc...

I love beef cheek if it's cooked right. Low and slow.

[-] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 1 points 7 months ago

And I’m not super familiar with cuts of the head but it’s gotta be check because tongue would be a different word.

[-] irreticent@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

It could be lips, also. I have seen beef lips in one of my local carnecerias (Mexican meat market).

[-] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 1 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

That’s a rather strange word to use in the context of beef, because they don’t really have anything resembling human lips. Which part of this, exactly, would you consider “lips”?

I think mouth, or perhaps snout, is a more accurate description here. Anyways, that’s the picture I found on Wikipedia when I looked for more information on where this meat might come from. Apparently it can also include the inner parts of the mouth, however, not the tongue, that’s considered a separate cut.

[-] irreticent@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

I'm nit entirely sure but when I saw the package of meat in the grocery store it said "beef lips" and had a stringy looking meat inside. I assume it is the lower lip since the upper seems too small for what I saw.

[-] rainynight65@feddit.de 4 points 7 months ago

The recipe you've linked has more than two ingredients. To say that it's 'mayo on sliced sausage' is misleading. We Germans are a smidgen more sophisticated than that.

[-] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 1 points 7 months ago

The onions are optional (frankly never heard of it being used Fleischsalad although it could give it a nice bite), pickle juice and sugar is just used flavor the mayo, salt and pepper to taste is standard for pretty much anything savory. The only REAL other ingredient here are the pickles.

So yes, Mr. German Police, you’re technically correct (of course), but I will count this as an off by one since you COULD just put the sausage, pickles, and mayo together and already have a decent approximation of the dish.

[-] rainynight65@feddit.de 1 points 7 months ago

I'm off by one, you're off by one - shall we split the difference and I'll overlook that even being merely technically correct I'm still closer than you, who's both technically and objectively incorrect?

C'mon, no cop is going to give you that deal.

[-] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 1 points 7 months ago

People like you are literally the reason I don't live in Germany anymore.

You sound like the kind of person who'd chew out his neighbor if their kids make as much as a peep during Mittagsruhe but start mowing the lawn at 7am simply because it's legal.

[-] rainynight65@feddit.de 1 points 7 months ago

Wow, you have even less of a sense of humour than the average German.

Enjoy your two-ingredient Fleischsalat.

[-] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 1 points 7 months ago

Says the guy who literally got his panties in a twist because I forgot to mention the pickles in a Fleischsalat while making a JOKE.

[-] rainynight65@feddit.de 1 points 7 months ago

I pointed out that your JOKE was shit. You're the one who started calling me names, so don't lecture me on twisted knickers.

[-] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 0 points 7 months ago

The only thing I called you was "German Police", are you telling me that's an insult? I thought the police were a respectable and upstanding part of the German people and steadfast protector of Recht und Ordnung.

Come on man, if I had tried to insult you I'd have chosen completely different words, like Fleischsalatnazi, Korinthenkacker, or Oberstudienrat. But I was merely making fun of your complete and utter inability to take a joke because it forgot to mention the obligatory pickles, which, let's be clear, is simply a wonderful example of why Germans are widely regarded to have absolutely zero sense of humor.

[-] Blyfh@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

Yeah, I don't get that one either. As a German I've seen plenty of "Nudelsalate" which have pasta and mayonnaise.

[-] marcos@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

That second one is absolutely disgusting.

It's not a reason to get mad, though.
