not sure about other families, but we always had something different each time

this time sausages, sometimes goose, sometimes raclette 😄

but sausages are popular imo

For us, it's usually Turkey and Ham. Saussages and Schnitzel and Brautwurst are every day foods

and sauerkraut 😃

ahh yes saurekraut with mustard and peppers

have you ever had i think it is spelled "nachtwurst"? we had that at a gathering at my cousin's house this afternoon. and it was pretty good

haha, nope

"night sausage"?

yea it's' really black, and has blood in it

served cold too

you slice it, and put it on some like gouda cheese and make a sandwich with it

i know Blutwurst, "blood sausage" - but I'm not a fan tbh

lately I prefer good old Weißwürstl', Bavarian style

with Sauerkraut, Bread and Weißbier ideally

*bread

German capitalization...

That's one thing to love about Germany btw - delicious bread, everywhere

No other place I've been to compares in terms of bread choice and quality

yea, we have a shop around here that makes fresh breads European style and my favorite are the German/Polish/Czech breads. they are perfect, much better than say italian or french bread

Belated my time but happy Christmas Gab

"I always saw nationalism as a more politically formalized extension of basic tribalism. For Anderson it appears to be only a recent "invention"."

YES THIS IS LIBERAL TROPE

"NATION-STATES WERE FIRST TIME NATIONALISM WAS TRIED!!1!"

OBVIOUSLY A LIE

BY THOSE WHO NEVER READ PHILOSOPHY

NATIONALISM AS CONCEPT WAS ALWAYS PRESENT

IT WAS RE-FORMALIZED WITH RISE OF MODERN STATE, VERSUS MONARCHIC/FEUDAL NATIONS

THEY LOOK AT THAT AND SAY "THIS IS WHEN IT WAS INVENTED"

LIBERALS ARE MORONS AND ALWAYS LIE

GOOD MORNING

Hey Brett

It was always called Patriotism

Caring about your own tribe

Egyptians were Aristocratic Monarchy, but Egyptians considered themselves patriotic nontheless

Athenians were fiercely patriotic

Being concerned about health and fitness of your own nation is also patriotism

GOOD MORNING

@reactionarytree I AGREE, BUT PATRIOTISM HAS TAKEN ON A SENSE OF "THE STATE" AKA THE NATION-STATE

THE SIMPLER CONCEPT IS LOYALTY AND HERITAGE
