Resistance is Futile: The American Way of Food
A kind reminder from Mr. Perry of the BenPerry.Net (via Facebook) tells us that it’s “Amerikanischer Genuss” week at some selected Lidl stores.
Now, every country has its own culinary traditions, but I can’t help but wince (and yes, I’m Am-EER-ik-an) to think that the U.S. “taste” is all bar snacks and barbeque marshmallows. And I’m not sure I even know what to do with a boneless rib burger in a bag.
There’s also a bit of mischef happening with frozen chicken nuggets. What happened to those delicious, across-the-aisle-reaching Obama-Fingers?

Also Baconnaise. Even we poor media-starved expats know that’s the taste sensation that’s sweeping the nation.

I also question the Americanness of a rib burger served on what appears from the photograph to be a good old-fashioned Berliner Schrippe.
