Made American pancakes for the first time. Are they supposed to taste extremely bland on their own? With butter and strawberry jam they were fine, but I‘d still prefer an English muffin or Brötchen if I wanted to eat jam.

Every so often, I see a latke recipe floating around, which is fantastic! EXCEPT...a lot of the latke recipes I see are missing some of the tips and tricks my mother has taught me over the years. So, here they are!

✨Latke Making Tips✨

Grating the potatoes WITH the onions keeps the potatoes from getting all brown and icky. We use a food processor, so we stick some chunks of potato and some chunks of onion in at the same time.

To squeeze out all the moisture from the potato/onion mixture, we place it in a metal sieve over a bowl and press down on the mixture with, of all things, a meat tenderizer! Not one of those spiky ones that comes up on Google images when you search up "meat tenderizer"--ours is a smooth, heavy, metal disk with a handle. We usually do this in stages since we have more potato than the sieve (or the food processor) can hold at one time.

Let the resulting liquid sit for a couple of minutes, and, when you pour it out, you'll have potato starch left behind that you can add back into your latkes! Though, if your recipe doesn't call for that, you might have to adjust it a bit.

You can make your latkes however big or small as you want. Bigger/thicker latkes end up more potato-y while smaller/flatter latkes end up crispier. In my family, we prefer smaller, crispier latkes, but it's completely up to you!

Oh I am loathing this American-ification of everything.

I got an early appointment in the city tomorrow and I figured hey, why not treat myself to breakfast afterward. And since I hate walking into a place, seeing the menu and thinking "nope" and having to walk out again, I figured I'd look it up online first.

I've looked through the menus of ten cafés now and only found two that actually have... normal German breakfast.

Every other place has shit like avocado toast, "breakfast bowls" (stop putting all foods into one bowl I am biting you, meals belong on plates), American pancakes with maple syrup, bagels, porridge, hummus (for breakfast?!).

And look, I am not objecting to also including trendy American foods on your menu, but if these are the only options you offer and I can't find a single traditional German breakfast on your menu, then that is just... devastating, to me.

If you're a gimmick café that is specifically American cuisine, that would also be different, but a regular, German café needs to offer a regular, German breakfast.

It should absolutely include at the very-fucking-least the most basic German breakfast platter - bread rolls, hard-boiled egg, marmalade, butter, wurst and/or cheese, and the option to pay more for salmon or a croissant. That's the basic "I am going out to have breakfast at a café" menu. The one on every breakfast menu, for as long as I can remember going out for breakfast.

I can acknowledge that for reasons beyond my personal taste, people really love avocados. But if your menu includes three variations of avocado toast but not a single cheese or wurst option - and you are not an explicitly vegan place, like, there is bacon on this menu too - then something is just really, really fucked up here.

what’s your favorite traditional dish if you don’t mind me asking

My girlfriend’s introduced me to her fav. kind of (American-) pancakes; and some chili, which was pretty good, though I’m not sure it can be considered traditional! As a picky eater, I’m afraid I’m not big on food though🙇‍♀️😬!

What’s yours? :)🙌
