The colder it is, the harder it is to grow food and the less options and culinary innovation you have. It is what it is.

South Korea has similar temperatures to most of the UK and their food is absolutely incredible, we need to find out how they pulled it off

Fermentation? I’m sure that’s not all of it but I think that’s how they got a lot of things to keep.

They are more to the south though. They are somewhere around the same latitude as the Mediterranean. Even though they have snowy winters the winter season is shorter thus their growing season last much longer. Hence why they can grow a larger variety of vegetables.

Danish restaurants have won World’s Best Restaurant 6 times in the past 13 years (with an additional 5 placements in 2nd and 3rd place, combined, since 2009), but granted, that doesn’t say much about Danish cuisine in general 😓

Still, it has to count for something, dammit!

Our lunch-cuisine is excellent and quite unique. Lots of different types of smoked and cured fish, lovely bread, interesting combinations like ‘æbleflæsk’, and so on. And smørrebrød is a delight when made properly and fresh, and not something you find elsewhere.

I was in Kopenhagen last week. The bakery stuff is a pure bliss. I falled in love with the kanelstykke 😍

Religion probably played a role too. That line is almost the Protestantism-Catholicism divide. Protestants had to live a sober life and this probably extended to their cuisine. Like the Dutch and British traveled across the world and waged wars for spices and the spices barely entered their gastronomy. All they did was sell the spices to Southern Europe

it was well known that jesus loved plain potatoes with absolutely zero seasoning.

Dealers can’t be consuming all their supply ;)

But I agree, overall, southern European food is just so much better.

Speaking as a Swede, it’s true. Rotten fish is not a flavour, it’s a crime against gastronomy. Also flour is not a spice.

Some stretches do have limits. But even where there are no speed limits there are suggested maximum limits. If you’re over that limit and have an accident (that normally might not be deemed your fault) you’re more likely to be held liable.

That’s not true. About 70% have no limits, but if you’re in an accident and you drove faster than 130km/h you can get partial blame. On the other parts there are some kind of limits and they are as hard as they are in other countries. ( well, Germany does not have the biggest fines, but it’s still a hard limit).

The trick is not to survive when you’re driving over 130, so you can avoid the blame.

In Germany we don’t say “Our autobahns don’t have any speed limit” we say “Na toll, natürlich wieder eine Baustelle! Was? Bis 2036 wollen die hier ackern? Na schönen Dank auch. Jetzt auch noch 60?! Pff 70 ist mein bestes Angebot!” And I find it beautiful.
