As a vegetarian german: yes. I just got served roasted potatoes with bacon. Asked the waitress if they could add to the menu that there's bacon in it, so people who don't like it know. The confusion on her face was priceless! "But you can't make them any other way." 🤣

That just about sums up what I love about Germany in a single anecdote. 🇩🇪❤️

[@Sakhmeov]

It's Germany. They follow the recipe! To the letter! Whether if it involves the hair of orphan paraplegics and the letter is a pictogram of a squirrel smoking a chair made from horseradish is beside the point; rules are rules and instructions are law and they are there for a reason! Everything is illegal except that which is to be done, specifically, now and immediately and there is the booklet! Pick it up and read! And the booklet _itself_ is made of bacon, because that's how early they want to get you! Not even your eyes are supposed to be vegan. Not that I don't understand the sentiment, mind. I mean, who the hell respects vegans? You can barely see them, they're so thin and transparent. And I'm speaking morally here... But Germans... Bit of a problem with the concept of zero, there. People say that Germany is a grey and rather depressing place. Nonsense. Germans don't have a concept of grey; even if you think it looks that way, if you look close enough at the surface it's actually gradated dots, spaced very, very precisely according to a standardized chart. Including on the people. They don't understand "pretty" or "fairly" either. I mean, either sense of the words. "Vat? It funchshions, and dat is dat. I don't kaer if it luuks like a tractor vomited on a hobo. Dis is how ve do it! Eet your beykon unt be happy dat it's not Vednesday and ve beat you viz sticks, you auful bathrobe-vearing person"...

About German comedy: I recently talked to a German woman, and I mentioned that I had watched this German comedy with the actor Til Schweiger, and I asked if she knew of this film. She looked at me, deadpan: "German comedy? I didn't know there was such a thing."

[@patatanectarian]

many germans try to deny, that movies with Til Schweiger exist. His older movies (especially "Manta, Manta" and "der bewegte Mann" (the most desired man)) are guilty pleasures because you can't really tell if he's a great actor who acts as a drunken proll, or a drunken proll who miserably fails at acting.

schadenfraude is a German word that takes a lot of English to translate. So yes, cultures emphasize different aspects of being a human.
