You have to be spending pretty carelessly to use that much money on food in a week.

well, if you live in 2nd and 3rd world countries it's PASTA ALLTIMES

lots of 3rd world students ;/

ahaha, yeah, was about to say that's pretty much my whole diet, bread and pasta. =(

guess what i'm cooking right now xD

same here, most other stuff takes to long to cook :(

schnitzel with onion and pepper sauce and rice, yesterday.
~20 minutes

Eat more meat! Especialy "shashlyk". People from former-USSR countries know what I mean.

nothing beats a proper russian shashlyk!!

Deep fried mars bar?

yuck id never eat that shit

I dunno any Geordie dishes :(

Deep fried butter!

the more east you go the better the food gets :)

britain/north carolina are the lamest

i think even the sudanese eat better

Most British families eat a lot worse than that.

tell me about it :(

I lived in fucking Leeds for 7 months... now TELL ME about it :P

EDIT: Bloody yorkshire pudding is nice, tho

7 months?

2,5 years here man :P

my deepest sympathy

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Yorkshire Puds + Gravy = <3

fucking yorkies, can't beat em

sunday roast, DINNER OF KINGS

fuck, even ramsay <3 the yorkshires http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZ3CkRmGtV8

If I had to guess I would say Romanian food resembles number 15 on the list. Am I right?

not quite
the right picture would be in a freezer with lots of blood in plastic bags

ahahah

only because we count beer and wine as food :D

so an average german family drinks 20 beers and 5 wine bottles a week. and I thought we were alcoholics...

I don't thin the bottles in the middle contain real beer, probably malt beer, gotta start young :)

that leaves 19 bottles of beer and 4 bottlesof wine. I agree that's a little on the high side for an average family (with two kids below 16).
If you included kids above 16, then it would probably be higher :)

As for the prices, they do look like people who buy only organic vegetables and meat and that's where it gets really expensive.

I think the most expensive stuff is meat and dairy products.

well not completely.

fish is more expensive per kg than meat, but I think meat is second.
dairy products are diffrent. milk and joghurt is cheap, cheese expensive and so on.

all depends on location really

Look at the lovely colorful spread of the British table aaaw

interesting for short look, but it doesnt seem very scientific to me

i remember reading this article in stern

Oh, oh and eat more "Borsch", it's the best soup that ever existed. With sour cream.

mushroom cream soup > borsch any time!!


oh and shaslik is not only know in Russia ;)
But personally when it comes to barbeque I do prefer steaks and ribs <3

What is borsch???
(auf Deutsch???)

deutsch?

Borschtsch.

eine oder besser die russische suppe mit rooter beete, weißkohl und fleisch, dazu sahne, schmeckt ganz gut aber gibt besseres :)

LOL
Ich schau mir so das Wort an... "Borschtsch... hmmm... das hab ich doch erst kürzlich irgendwo gelesen....."
Dann macht's klick!!!
(Ich arbeite als Video Producer bei einem großen Verlag und mache zur Zeit Kochvideos)
Morgen hab ich ein paar Drehs, wovon einer das Kochrezept für "Borschtsch" ist. :D
Haha und ich hab vorhin noch beim Meeting so erzählt, dass ich "mich gut vorbereitet" habe. :p

hahaha, oh wow.

na dann hoff ich du magst rote beete :)

dont forget pelmeni :P

that's good stuff!

MAJONAESE!

I'm guessing there were so many fat jokes posted about me that they cancelled each other out and disappeared.

you'd top that list easily, but even though you can compare in size and weight, you're not considered a family by international standards

hahah :DDD

i love the fact the bhutanese family probably has the most healthy spread

i think that chinese family has the most nutritious diet on the list.

i probably like that fact too :<

chinese, indian, chees burgers and mexican is all I eat.

chinese, indian, cheese burgers and mexican is all I eat.

FTFY

i bet the germans hide 1 or 2 beer crates.
if not, they gonna need 2 by the time the kid gets 16. :D

faserpelz, komischer anhänger, billy regale, lesen geo (beste zeitschrift ever)

=> der junge kann froh sein wenn er malzbier zum 18. bekommt

wo siehst du da ne GEO ?
aber hast recht. Papa sieht schon sehr nach Oberstudienrat/Pädagoge/Sozialarbeiter aus.

unten rechts, kenn die farbe gut, liegt neben mir auf dem schreibtisch :P

mexicans sure like coke..

coca culo

The typical German family eats a lot more bread than this (instead of liquid bread aka beer)

I also love that the German amount is about two times the size as some other peoples'.

Chinese baguette? O_o

oh, that was so bloody fake! check out the chick on the "Italy" and "Poland" pictures - it's the same person!

j/k :P

I think your typical lower/middle class social Englishman drinks just as much if not more as the Germans, maybe not at home though.

siiffffff. can't beat us at drinking, mate.

depends on the region.
The area where I was born is most note for it's Korn distillers and drinkers.

8 years ago my boss back then had a brunch with five new inhabitants of assited living appartments for elderly people. Ages between 65 and 90. He told me after later that he had to go buy new schnaps after 1,5 hours cause he had only brought 4 bottles...

This can only be solved with comparison of alcoholism.

Whoever has the biggest percentage of population wins!

Hell no, what many countries (and other regions in this country) consider alcoholism is seen a "normal" here.

E.g. old farmers getting hammered every weekend, etc.


Also we would probably loose to Russia anyways :P

I think Britain and Germany have similar views on what makes one an alcoholic :P

How much alcohol is bought in each country per year?

as I said here it really differs from region to region. e.g. in Bavaria you are allowed to drink a beer during lunchbreak, in Cologne they drink water instead of beer (:P), and where I was born beer was the stuff you drink in between shots, because it doesn't really get you drunk.

I think a comparison inside Germany would be difficult so I guess with another country would be even worse.

Buying alcohol might be off, cause Swedes buy quite a lot of beer here and take it home.

For consumption, the first link is from 1996 (Britain at the bottom) but I hear you caught up quite a bit....

newer one and in English:

though I think it's unfair that it's only for 15+ ...

This isn't serious man, why be so German about it :(

Brits buy drink from France!

:D


prob more the engineering thing.
If you do it, do it right.

english girls drink more than german girls thats for sure

Drink more, puke more, fat more(...).

you sure? sometimes i'm quite shocked when i see 14-16yr old girls go "party". if they have the chance to drink alcohol, they do drink a lot. hard stuff, too.
seen on a free rockfestival in my city last week. hordes of emo teenagers all over the place.

British girls drink SHIT loads

yeah very sure

I once got drunk under the table (is that an English expression??) by a 16-year-old girl in my class, she was pretty, too.
She drank 2 bottles of "Roten", cherry jiuce with amaretto and wodka with about 15% alcohol. I quit after one and a half bottles :(

I like how you felt the need to state she was pretty so we didn't get the wrong idea and think she was some fatass :D

Just remembered her, had a little bit of a crush on here back then :)

But yeah we had some Lucy - types there, too. Never bothered with drinking with those, tho :P

that's why you made it to esr

i'm always impressed by girls drinking champagne (sekt?!) bottlewise.
that's something i will never understand.

Different kinds of alcohol and getting used to it, you can drink a bottle of sparkling wine get drunk fast and almost feel nothing two hours later.

Personally, I started out with wine, then went to booze, cause I didn't like beer as a teenager.
My record, when I was 16, was 4 or 5 bottles of dry red wine. Which made me somewhat less drunk than a bottle of bacardi mixed with coca cola.

I am just utterly disgusted by the food on the british pic.

i am disgusted by your pants.

Haha the Brits only eat breakfast, snacks and one huge frozen puzza lololololo
