Interesting to know you've eaten bat barf.
How the heck else would you know what it tastes like?
[Edit:] I SWEAR this thing is sentient -- you wouldn't BELIEVE the line it threw up (Heh!) as I wrote this reply: "Same bat time, same bat channel." [Edit again: Ypo in the receding.]

Of course I know what it tastes like
that's because I once spent 2 weeks vacationing in Germany and eating the ocal cuisine.
Every night we had to put up with the slowest, most surliest, most incompetent wait people of any country I've ever been in (and that includes Georgia in the Deep South). Food that was over-cooked, under-cooked, and indistinguishable from things that should nourish maggots feasting on dead Ethiopians. Over 75% of the time they couldn't get our order right, and by the time they brought it we had waited so long that we couldn't wait any longer before passing out from starvation.
The only salvation was the variety of decent beer to flush it all down while numbing the taste buds.
HTH!

German cuisine
Sandwiched between France and Poland - I think they just gave up.

German cuisine
how do you preserve food to last thru the winter and cook the rotted stuff so you can scarf it down. You have rye grass, and roots, pigs, sheep and cows. Your preservatives were salt and vinegar. The vinegar was made from booze that even the healthiest boozers wouldnt swaller. I think they did fine for what they had.
thanx,

Perhaps so, but . . .
Given even worse conditions the Poles blended French, Russian and Turkish elements with what was locally available to produce some damned good food. Of course they were the hub of major trade routes between Turkey and Sweden and France and Russia so I suppose that helped.

Dew tell..
Only time I can remember.. being poisoned, with-avarice-aforethought
(Sell! this little Schweinefleischkotelett before it takes over the fridge and holds the rutabagas hostage)
-- was in
Germany.
(She really Did 'suggest' the little cutlet. Especially.) Hah! silly-moi.
And, being enroute to the Sane lands of Danmark, this mal de merde natch caused me to have to crawl into a motor-hostelry -also in Germany- at ~Kassel (just off the 'bahn).
Somewhat atoning for this nasty hausfrau in her tiny "restaurant" .. was the perfection of the folks at This gasthaus: to my mumbled polyglot, late-night requests for tea, toast, ice cream (!) and ?knoze what else the immune system seemed to crave, when guts were emptied - they responded with alacrity. And initially.. got me to my room with minimal verbal exchanges, toot suite (a really cute trumpet piece).
The true meaning of TIPS: To Insure Perfect/Prompt Service. Done.
Kinda cancels-out. But ... still!

that is why you must pound down shots of 80 proof
after eating strange foods in strange lands as anti bacterial sterilization efforts. Thats why I like street food, often they are two poor and lack refrigeration so buy fresh miniscule supply for ther days operations. Well either buy or catch but properly cooked over charcoal can make beef, lamb, pig, cat or dog quite edible.
thanx,

Ha, ha. So how do you know *that* tastes like Bat Barf?
You stupid, stupid man; if you persist in that line of reasoning, you'll only have to admit you've *eaten bat barf*.

Which might prompt even further {ugh} enquiries -
Was it *good* bat barf or bad bat barf?
From which area?
Sub-species?
Wild or market-raised?
Induced or natural barf-process?
(Better / worse than hummingbird-heart stew?)

You poor demented pea-brain
if you persist in that line of reasoning, you'll only have to admit you've *eaten bat barf*.
Guess you were unable to read my first post higher up in the thread...knowing how to compare food to bat barf, and having eaten in Germany German cuisine == bat barf. Simple enough for you, O member of the "Master Race"? lincoln
