There's a ton of degenerate things in Europe too. For instance, italians have a pizza with potatoes on top. Swedes like cheese inside their coffee. Swedes also like tomato sauce, cheese and i think ham paste off an aluminium toothpaste like squeeze tube. Swedes are absolute lovable degenerates.

Germans have these devices which look like a massive cow tit to "milk" as it were, their ketchup and mayonnaise from.

Potato pizza is damn good though.

[–] Comment105@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

yea bruv crisps are great on the meat lover's pie we got here, just put on half a bag of salt and vinegar walkers and you'll be grinning

France has "ketchup and pasta." I figured it would be some fancy, European ketchup. Nope, Heinz out of the bottle. Heretics.

Poor people food like Ramen

Swedes like WHAT in their coffee?

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I'm fairly sure that's not a thing. It's certainly something I've never ever heard of

[–] Bigmouse@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Im german and wtf are you talking about? Certainly doesn't ring a bell based off your description

[–] IsoKiero@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 year ago

In Finland we have these at some restaurants, more often on a fast food places at the kitchen:

Apparently they're more convenient to use for the kitchen staff than a squirt bottle. Fill the thing with ketchup/mustard/mayonnaise and you can 'milk' appropriate amount of whatever on the dish. They're not commonly used by customers, for obvious reasons.

And cheese in coffee is absolutely a thing, but it's not just any cheese, you need to have bread cheese.

They are called "Euterspender" (udder dispenser)

[–] ECB@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

Literally never seen one, but they looks quite practical!

[–] Bigmouse@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Tatsache. Einfach immer ausgeblebdet dass sowas existiert

[–] NeuronautML@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I saw them in fairs and public events. It's like a big bottle of condiment with a huge cow tit, like the picture that has been posted here.

I used one while eating my white brattwurst.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

The Dutch have chocolate sprinkles on toast.

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 1 points 1 year ago

How's that degenerate?

Sweden is the undisputed champion of "If you like it, you like it. If it works, it works."

Swedes like cheese inside their coffee.

When I read horrifying things about other countries' cuisines I usually just shrug and say 'cultural differences'. Eggs boiled in piss? 'Cultural differences'. Duck embryos on toast? 'Cultural differences'. Cheese swarming with maggots? 'Cultural differences'.

But this... if a Swede popped up in front of me right now and said "yeah, I like to inject hot ham water directly into my eyeballs", I think I'd have a better shot at understanding and accepting.

[–] spiderplant@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Don't forget Swedish banana and curry pizza

[–] NeuronautML@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Oh yeah. I also saw a lettuce and fries pizza in Sweden. It was as terrible as it sounded.

[–] mayonaise_met@feddit.nl 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

In the Netherlands it is fairly common to spread margarine on bread (along with something like chocolate sprinkles, cold cuts or cheese). I think it tastes disgusting.

What is that supposed to be? I have never seen anything like that lol. In Germany there are bottles with Ketchup...

[–] NeuronautML@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

You'll probably only see it at events. They come in huge bottles. Yeah they do, but the tit, after you get over it, is quite awesome.

[–] barsoap@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

There's a couple of different types but don't be surprised if you see ketchup and mustard hanging at a Bratwurst stand.

They're even officially called "udder dispensers".

[–] arken@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Swedes in general do not like cheese in their coffee and would have no idea what you're talking about. I can only assume you're thinking of kaffeost/juustoleipä which is only found locally in certain areas of the north and Finland. It's also delicious by the way, think salty cubes of hard cheese that you put in coffee and eat with a spoon. It makes a squeaking sound between your teeth and can also be eaten on the side as a cheesecake with cloudberry jam. (The coffee should also be pot-boiled in the traditional way.)

Swedes used to drink coffee in small cups with 1-2 lumps of sugar and cream in it. That was the standard way for adults to drink coffee 40 years ago here before globalization really kicked in - now a standard café in Sweden is exactly like anywhere else in the world.

[–] NeuronautML@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I do not quite remember local word for it, but yes, i saw it while travelling through Kiruna, so it was in the north.

I had it. My southern European self considered becoming anti Schengen because of it. I love your country, but you people should be banned from having coffee.

Also yeah, the whole world is very similar in many aspects, but the comment was about funny degenerate things I've seen across Europe and that is pretty degenerate. Just poking a little fun, is all.

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 year ago

Yes, and we can and do condemn them for that as well.

[–] countflacula@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I can get ketchup from a massive cow tit!? holy shit based.

omg I found them these are actually brilliant, unlike the pump bottles you'll never get the random money shot of condiment that misses your hotdog completely and gets on your shirt.

They should try it with Easy Cheese! Cannot possibly be worse than that already sounds

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, it's basically a squeezy sandwich.
