That woman is a saint, allowing the hordes to swarm all over Germany.

Are they still making good pottery there? I used to love some of the nicest vases they had to offer.

Is anything better happening in English or Scotch? I doubt it.

Well, we haven't nailed our Manhood to the walls yet like some.

Back to topic. I happen to love German history but I'm hoping for something current.

So are Hungarian, Greek and Italian languages getting off Scot free?

There's some great stuff happening in French! Like kissing, fries and bread, toast not so much. In English you've got muffins and rolls. German does have its chocolate!

English muffins aren't English. They're American. Go figure. And Canadian bacon isn't Canadian. It's American. And pizza isn't Italian. It's American.

There is, however, English toffee. Not so sure about English Breakfast Tea.

Pizza is actually Chinese. Besides, French Fries aren't really French either.

I thought I saw English muffins being featured on the Great British Baking Show earlier this season. I saw it on PBS, an American network, but a British show.

I think you mean rather the name. We call them English muffins in America to distinguish them from sweet muffins, much as we refer to English peas to mark their difference from field peas.

I did a Google. You're right. Pizza isn't American, but neither is it Chinese. It is, indeed, Italian. Deep-dish pizza is American. It was invented in Chicago.

I'd think the Germans would all be rather busy drinking beer and eating schnitzel since it's Oktoberfest. That'd be gut...no?

Nothing at all happened in German, it is still "Wetter":

You feel into their cunning Bavarian trick - Oktoberfest was last month.

Danke

Funny that here there are Oktoberfest events scheduled right up through this month....they didn't get the memo, I guess.

Well, I doubt it has anything to do with Germany though - the interview took place in the Netherlands (as is clearly given away by the subtitles and the silly accent the interviewer has!)
