A short video still featuring a woman with blonde hair and a text overlay that reads "Things I prefer in the US as a German" with American and German flag emojis, and further states "I don't know why we don't have bagels in Germany."
Above this, the social media post caption reads "I can think of a reason!" The post is from "Vikram Bath @vikrambath.bsky.social."
As an Australian living in Germany for over a decade I'm still not that impressed with German bakeries. The pretzels are awesome and the bread is fine but the sandwiches are lame. They're like mostly bread and never more than 1 or 2 toppings. A German once told me it's because the point of the sandwich is the bread and if there are too many toppings you won't taste the bread ๐
Germans love their bread so much but I think it's just because that's what they grew up with, I don't think it's objectively as good as they think it is
