[edit] Style Query
This page has a lot of instances of the English name of a region followed by the German version. I've tried to make it more consistent throughout the page; my chosen style was to put the German version in italics and parentheses. Is there a more correct way to do it? I couldn't find anything in the Manual of Style. Lancevortex 12:12, 13 Mar 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Yet another style question
No offense to anyone, but the article reads a bit like it was hacked together by a bunch of german countryboys (und das mein ich jetzt gar nich böse...bin ja selber einer :). I'll try to convert the whole thing into a more readable english in the next couple of hours... Ferkelparade 09:57, 28 Apr 2004 (UTC)
Rewritten and reformatted...I hope it's better now :p Ferkelparade 21:16, 9 May 2004 (UTC)
- Well done for that FP, it certainly does look better, but I'm not sure why you've used <br />s instead of paragraphs — they look odd and are semantically incorrect. If a piece of text is worthy of being a separate paragraph then it should be so, if not then it should just be another sentence like any other. Hope I don't sound too much like a schoolteacher! --Lancevortex 11:34, 10 May 2004 (UTC)

- Well, I guess those old html habits are hard to break :) Ferkelparade 12:01, 10 May 2004 (UTC)
[edit] More
Some more to put in: Zwiebelkuchen, Federweißer, Apfelsaftschorle, Most, Kartoffelkuchen, Schweinshaxe, Broiler, Labskaus. Sorry, my english is not good enough to explain this things :-) . Grettings 217.233.68.5
- Yes, we can see this! (Sorry, couldn't resist ...)
[edit] Currywurst
...I've never seen a Currywurst made with "boiled" sausage (whatever that is...Bockwurst?), and I've lived in Northern Germany for 13 years. Any comments before I change that? --Stephan Schulz 15:27, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Meat section
Ok, anyone else notice that the "Meats" section is basically about the sausages of Thueringen? and POV isn't exactly neutral - "the best sausages are from Thuringa" or whatever that was. how about something more like "Central Germany, and especially the area of Thuringa, has a reputation for some of the best sausages" or something along those lines. and i know there are more meat dishes than just sausage (though come to think of it, nothing i can think of that's distinctly german: Hamburger is an american invention, though i suppose the Frikadelle counts... Koenigsberger Klopse? Schaschlik and Gulasch aren't originally German either). Any thoughts on the issue? YggdrasilRoot 21:09, 5 May 2005 (UTC)
- I tend to agree, the paragraph on sausages was pretty POV and going into way too much detail. I cleaned up the paragraph - I personally think it's totally sufficient to describe the basic meat-eating habits in that paragraph and list individual dishes in the "specialties" section below. -- Ferkelparade π 23:05, 5 May 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Side dishes
The side dishes section mentions that the popularity of potatoes is waning. I lived in Bavaria from Feb 2002-Mar 2005 and saw no sign of this. Potatoes as a side dish was almost impossible to escape. Anthopos 15:41, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
- Waning as "from 99% to 80%" or so...and that's for simple boiled potatos (Warning: Numbers made up on the spot). Potatos are still popular. But rice and pasta are making inroads. --Stephan Schulz 21:18, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Aalsuppe
It´s true that "Aal" means eel, but the origin of "Aal" in this context is from a dialect, in which "Aal" means "alles/everything".
[edit] Jükääg
I`m a native from Hamburg and have never heard of "Jükääg". I tried to find something about it by google, but in my opinion there isn`t something like this... (Sorry for my english) Moritz
[edit] Rote Grütze
I changed the description of the dish from a "jelly" to a "pudding". Even though grütze translates roughly as grits, which might make some think it was a jelly, I've found descriptions of it in a German menu translator and a cookbook which both refer to it as a pudding, and the cooking process seems to reflect that. As for the related dishes, I assumed the same applied. LindeeK 09:31, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
