If a pregnant woman says that you can't eat eggs with ketchup she might be right about it

I am part of the younger generation and we also don't really like it and if someone flies it outside of an sports event or ESC is a weird feeling...

I think it's not especially 'Ketchup on Eggs' but rather that Ketchup is seen as fast/trash food kind of unsophisticated way to add taste to most foods. So generally it's seen as 'belonging' (us Germans love us some rules) with other fast food like Fries, Burgers, Currywurst etc. And adding it to 'non fast food' is kind of having trashy/cheap taste. My best guess 😉

At 5:32 nice view of the Kochertalbrücke on Autobahn A 6(there is also a smaller one with the same name on Autobahn 81). It is Germany's highest valley bridge(Talbrücke) with a maximum height of 185 m/607 ft. Enjoy your day.

I like putting ketchup on Schinkennudeln, which is a pan with bacon and scrambled eggs, combined with cooked noodles (noodles are added to the pan before the scrambled eggs are added). So I see, why you put ketchup on eggs. :P

Btw something worth mentioning regarding the history of flags in Germany is that in the GDR people were required or expected to put up flags for certain events or holidays such as 1st of May. If it was noticed that somebody did not put up their flags for these events, they were at least reprimanded for it or may have had to fear further consequences. Most buildings had extra flag mounts outside the windows which were widely removed after the reunification.

Mom's consequent education

1. Most buildings of authoritys have flags (combined with the EU one), too. On special days, they will only fly half the way on important days of history (for example the day that Auschwitz was freed). Private housholds, are not used to it. I really like quilting and making Patchwork, and american fabric is sometimes so patriotic, with eagles and flags all over it etc.. That would never sell in Germany with the German flag. 😄😉 2. Ketchup on eggs is okay, when you miss a sauce. When you eat it with Brötchen, I use butter to make a great taste and combination. With a wrap, probably Ketchup. Left over noodles, fried in Butter with egg, of course Ketchup! 3. Last but not least: Congrats to the baby!!

Don't need to fly a flag for that. German born to german mother and a military brat, I've seen both sides. ugh do not understand ketchup on eggs

Regarding the German flag: Another aspect is that Germany historically speaking has never really been a true nation state in the same way as e.g. France or Finland, but rather a tapestry of kingdoms and duchies. So there are regional identities as well. Bavarians will fly the Bavarian flag everywhere (sky blue and white). In Frankfurt (formerly a "Free City of the Empire") the city crest (Frankfurt eagle) is quite present (doesn't hurt that it's also used by the local association football club as well).

Interestingly the black/red/gold was a symbol for German unity etc. during the 19th century - until 1871, when the German Empire under Prussian rule started. Of course, they used their own colors and only ~100 years ago the flag as we know it was established. btw, German citizenship is even younger (1934).

so about that Fischbrötchen in Schwäbisch Hall .... maybe you should reconsider after all. The sign on the Imbiss Kiosk says it is possible but pointless. Who knows?.....

That the flag problem is based on the "WW2 stuff" is a frequently used explanation with a major problem: Back then, the German flag was striped black-white-red, changing to red with a white circle and a black swastika. The current German flag does not even resemble these WW2-times flags... It's the flag of German democracy, first shown at the "Hambacher Fest", Germanys first democratic gathering, in 1832 and strictly forbidden in the "third reich".

In Germany putting ketchup on eggs is like asking for "Pommes rot-weiß" in the US.

Moin, to "fly the flag" is really complicated in germany. Germany is a late nation formally founded after the german-french war in 1870/71. As an idea it existed already since the begin of the 19th century promoted by enthusiastic people rather in southern germany following the french revolution in 1789. Their colours had been black, red, gold. But the german state founded in 1871 was dominated by Preußen, so its colours became black, white and red. The Nazis continue to use those colours all over their symbolic stuff, so at their end in 1945 these colours had been entirely discredited. The western oriented Federal Republic of Germany goes back to black, red and gold as their colours as well as the soviet dominated counterpart German Democratic Republic does. In the 1980s someone could have been considerated as far right showing black-red-golden flags in his private rooms. I never encountered black-white-red flags. In these days flying a german flag came back to normal as I never experienced before with the soccer world chanpionship 2006 in germany as an important step. LG

Fischbrötchen are best enjoyed fresh in cities like hamburg. But have you tried Mettbrötchen yet? Has Mikey? Wouldn't that be a video idea? Something like "My little brother's first raw pork sandwich" 😁
