Lol, if anything it's "Das"

@7th-key - wow thanks for sharing, there is not one single vegetable in that curry dish. It reminds of a dish Belgian students order a lot - it consists of a French-style baguette filled with fries and mayonnaise or any other condiment and some deep-fried croquette-style processed meat.

There is a possibility I might go to Spain next year so I will have to pick your brain for recommendations.

Really?
As long as you don't expect "how to eat organic in Madrid" or "healthy living in BCN"

Hell with all that...when I travel it's all about taste...not about being a snob. Good food is good food whether it's from a fine dining establishment or a street vendor or a standing room only marketplace.

Viva Currywurst! Or is that the worst curry?

Total agreement: leave the "healthy" eating at the departure gate when you're traveling... It's about good eats and indulging yourself.

Yeah exactly, whether you're traveling to a short distance to a new town, or overseas...one's gotta take your advice...life is too short.

Oh, I see. Thanks for the explanation. I wasn't aware that was a common dish in the Fatherland.

wikipedia wrote:

Assuming a specific Nazi usage of the term "Vaterland" (which in fact never existed), the direct English translation "fatherland" featured in news reports associated with Nazi Germany and in domestic anti-Nazi propaganda during World War II. As a result, the English word is now associated with the Nazi government of Germany (unlike in Germany itself, where the word means simply "homeland").

That wasn't nice. Attention is paid in this forum not use derogative words like "jap" - referring to modern Germany as Nazi state isn't that similar?

Maybe I'm just too sensitive... let's go out for a currywurst?

Gomen.... That wasn't our intent, but as you said if it's like the J-word, we'll refrain from further use of it.

Forget it, is not about the word and censorship wasn't my point

I wasn't suggesting censorship... More like being sensitive to people's feelings.
