Chow Looking for Dinner?
Posted by Paul Constant on Fri, Mar 13, 2009 at 5:22 PM
Why not have some delicious Obama Fingers with a nice curry dip?
In related news: Germany creeps me the fuck out.

In Germany there's a whole range of frozen foods with American themes, like pizza, fish sticks, etc.
Since frozen microwavable food is distinctly American, the packaging is covered in American themes.
It's not that creepy.

The U.S. creeps Germans out, so we're even. (In their eyes, we're a plywood metropolis, streets clogged with saggy gas guzzlers, half of which have guns in the glove compartments, the other half piloted by morbidly obese people on their way to sell their blood plasma so they can pay for some medical care. Das ist Creepytown.)

Chicken legs in Russia used to be "nogi Busha" (Bush legs - referring to HW, not W) after some donations when the USSR fell.

When people mention Rize, I think of The Incredible Hulk.
I hate The Incredible Hulk.
And no, I don't feel like letting it go.

Curry ketchup! Forget the creepy Obama fingers, the curry ketchup is where it's at. Make your own at home by mixing curry powder into ketchup, and then apply liberally to...everything. Especially good on bratwurst and french fries.

Germans are actually a very warm and hospitable people, which surprises visitors to Germany I think, who expect them to be cold and standoffish. Their poop fetishes and adhesion to Order and beer and curry ketchup and their fundamental chronic misunderstanding of what constitutes racism are troubling, yes, as is much of what passes for their allegedly profound "culture," but on the other hand Germans are a people worth the trouble to get to know. It's that once you do get to know them, you'll have an incredible bipolar love-hate relationship with Germans and their culture for the rest of your life.

A very on-point comment from a lady interviewed by the Berliner Kurier:
"Most likely the contents are just as tasteless as the packaging."
Brigitte Bläsing (59) Postangestellte aus Prenzlauer Berg findet die "Obama-Fingers" auch völlig daneben: "Wahrscheinlich ist der Inhalt genauso geschmacklos, wie die Verpackung."

I grew up by Marquette Park (Illinois Nazi's). My family got run out of the neighborhood just east of MP in '73, and now it's a war zone.
Anyway, the Nazi's used to look like rock stars, long hair and beards, blue jeans and weed.
They didn't have the internet back then but they had good weed.
