    I know Germans are very proud of their beer but how about your food? Is that something you take pride of too? I'm Filipino. I've eaten German food twice. First one was in Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte. Bergblick restaurant. Claims to be authentic but since it's in the province, the prices were really friendly and so may have played a part why I didn't enjoy it that much. Second time was at Brotzeit Alabang but we had it to go and ate it at home. I got taste their Pretzels too. Both occasions, I found the food a bit bland and too simple for my lacking. My observation is, Germans seem to want chicken or pork or fish to still taste like what they are. Very simple cooking. Not too many flavor enhancements. Even the gravy I found a bit lacking in taste. Am I correct with my assessments?

    Hard to tell as I grew up with a very international cuisine. I also happen to like pretty much everything. I wouldn't make my assumption by a couple of german foods that you had in the Philippines 😄 I'm sure an Adobo place ran by Germans in Germany wouldn't be the real deal either. Also german foods are usually eaten homecooked, we usually have snacks, streetfood or international cuisine when we dine out. But I don't want to speak for the majority here 😁
