Opinion: If Germans had internationally marketed Pfannkuchen (or Eierkuchen) and its various toppings/fillings, both sweet and savory, whether for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, it would have been a massive boost for the image of German cuisine, despite Pfannkuchen's simplicity.
And the versatility I see for recipes on German websites. Everything from the traditional applesauce ones to apricot-stuffed rolls, to stacks of them sauced and cheesed and herbed to imitate lasagna, to dill-and-cured salmon ones, to spinach and mushrooms rolls, to omelette styled ones, etc. etc. etc.
I think it was a missed opportunity. It still might have a chance though. The Anglosphere doesn't seem to have such an equivalent, so perhaps marketing there could hold weight (basically as a more utilitarian crepe capable of supporting heavier foodstuffs).

Germany only had burgers and it was americanized in the same way pizza was improved by fat americans.
When I think of german food I think of raw ground pork with onions or those ugly sandwiches that are just a fish between two loaves of bread. There is a reason why people talk about French and Italian food all the time and not german food.

When I think of German food, I think of 4 things
>Fresh baked bread
>Cheese
>Sausage
>Beer
The biggest thing Germans could do to export their food culture is ramp up exports of all their micro-scale cheese brands that you currently can't realistically get outside the country. You could make 1000 charcuteries in Germany and never get bored so long as you kept rotating cheeses and sausage types, but that's just not visible abroad.

They are listed specifically in menus in America as crepes and we know they aren't the same as pancakes.

We do not give food to tourists. Sorry, doesn't gain anything and raises their expectations.
>There is a reason why people talk about French and Italian food all the time and not german food.
Yes, the price, but Italian style is pretty good. You can get food in Germany in taste and quality you will not believe. But nobody over here will tell you where and when.

Lucky. Do they have potatoes too? And especially knoedel?
They are kinda needed as contrast to complete the delicious trio. So good.

enough with the delusions, german soldiers were mind broken during ww2 when they were introduced to french food
they never knew about seafood until then, meanwhile they taught the french about fucking shreded carrots...
there is also the difference in mentality, where French have many types of salts but for the germoids salt is salt so they don't care about random table salt and fleur de sel

German cuisine will never be good or respected because german food culture has been influenced by protestantism which denounces experiencing earthly pleasures such as good food, for them one should not get too attached to it. Germans view food as a resource to manage, the cheaper it is, the larger the quantities for the price, the better. Sure they'll have some exceptions since catholicism is till present in the country, but overall it's pretty bleak.
That and the shit climate that doesn't allow for a variety of properly ripe produce.

Germaniac and or central/center-eastern European food (Austria-Hungary) in general is delicious. Probably tied with Italian as my favorite. Grew up eating the most delicious dumplings on earth, schnitzel-all the meat was top tier, and the best baked goods and desserts. Also grew up eating authentic northern Italian and its also delicious in everyway.

American cuisine has way more Catholic influence, though. It's obvious with Italian-American, Mexican-American, and Cajun food, a lot of the NE and Midwestern stuff also came from Catholic Greek or Eastern European immigrants, and even Texas BBQ probably has Catholic origins since it was developed by German immigrants who were often Catholics fleeing Protestant oppression.

I lived in America 30 years and never saw a crepe once. Not once. Mid-Atlantic, Texas, California.
And crepes are French. But pretty much all Europeans eat crepes today.
Anyway I lived in Germany 8 years and the food isn't that bad but it isn't that good either. The issue is it isn't exotic. People want something special when they go out, not basically the same thing their mama fed them growing up. Pork and potatoes. People want Thai food or Mexican or whatever.
What could take off in America is called Frikadellen. That und pommes. If you know - du kennst.

In Bavaria at least the most popular dish by far is Schnitzel with fries, along with roast pork with bread roll dumplings. The Bavarians are admittedly not known for their enterprising spirit in all things culinary.

Germans are literally so cheap they eat for cost effectiveness and nothing else.
Pommes mit schnitzel is that price to flavor to volume ratio they love. They also love big portions.
Currywurst is garbage but it's cheap.
Döner became so popular bevause it is cheap and fast and filling and tasty. Efficient.

The French also do that. At least in le guide culinaire you find plenty recipes with it. Not sure if all those niche haute cuisine soups are really that representive though.
