I guess you’re not into bread, because Germans have incredible bread

    I left the 2% for pretzels, sausage, and Haribo gummies.

    And Italians also make bread, you'll notice they're not on the exclusion list.

    They sure like talking about their bread a lot. No one beyond their borders understands why however.

    That’s what I thought until I started working at a German bakery. Now I’m converted (as someone who isn’t from here and grew up with fresh home baked sourdough every day). You should try more of it.

    Germans have roughly one kind of bread that they're very good at.

    Germany has tons of Turkish immigrants, but Germans won't buy pita bread unless they're getting a doner. They share a massive border with France but mostly ignore delicious French breads like croissants, baguettes, etc. They're right near Italy but you won't find much focaccia. Forget about naan, bagels, bao, corn bread, crumpets, injera, etc.
