I had a European friend complain that Americans are so egocentric that they call their music “Country Music.” He was also mad we put mayonaise on a pasta and call it a salad.
I am also mad about the second part.
If you want rage, Midwesterners put marshmallows in pistachio pudding and call it salad.
Green Fluff is just a derivative of Ambrosia, which is very much a Southern-States creation. We Midwesterners simply made it better. /j
Jokes aside, my grandmother used to make her own homemade cherry ambrosia. That recipe is lost with Dementia (she never wrote it down either, heh) so I’ll probably never have Pink Fluff that good again. Don’t knock it 'til you try it.
Pistachio pudding sounds amazing
It’s a great dessert. But Midwesterns treat it exactly like a lettuce salad. Like you go to a buffet and people will put pistachio/marshmallow pudding on their plate next to their steak.
I never cared for it. Green jello pudding and I’ve never seen pistachios in it
Oh that sounds a lot worse than what I imagined
I mean, you’d have to taste it for yourself. I didn’t like it but you may, you know?
ETA: here is a recipe in case you’re interested
I was about to comment the same thing.
What did you eat today?
Oh just some salad
The salad
Do they not use the word country as a synonym for rural? I checked the Cambridge dictionary, it’s their second definition listed, even higher than where that definition is listed in Merriam Webster. It’s like complaining rock music is made with guitars instead of boulders. Does he also think that country is like the only genre of music made in America? Though some country singers do like to put a lot of nationalism in their music which does kind of confuse things.
I’m a firm mayo by itself as a sauce hater though so I’m with him there. Even more abominable are the jello (or jelly for those in the UK) “salads.” It’s not a salad!
I think maybe he was just making a joke.
But Germans have litterally every kind of salad.
Germans will literally put mayonnaise on sliced sausage and call that a salad.

So it’s the same idea as tuna salad?
Pretty similar, yeah.
TWO salads*
Keep in mind that Fleischsalat is different from Wurstsalat. The main difference is that Fleischsalat is made with mayo to be creamy while Wurstsalat is made with a simple vinaigrette as the dressing.
There’s also Ochsenmaulsalat which is basically just thinly sliced beef mouth with vinaigrette and onions.
thinly sliced beef mouth
I’ve never heard of “beef mouth” as a cut of meat. What meat is it from? Tongue, cheek, etc…
I love beef cheek if it’s cooked right. Low and slow.
And I’m not super familiar with cuts of the head but it’s gotta be check because tongue would be a different word.
It could be lips, also. I have seen beef lips in one of my local carnecerias (Mexican meat market).
The recipe you’ve linked has more than two ingredients. To say that it’s ‘mayo on sliced sausage’ is misleading. We Germans are a smidgen more sophisticated than that.
The onions are optional (frankly never heard of it being used Fleischsalad although it could give it a nice bite), pickle juice and sugar is just used flavor the mayo, salt and pepper to taste is standard for pretty much anything savory. The only REAL other ingredient here are the pickles.
So yes, Mr. German Police, you’re technically correct (of course), but I will count this as an off by one since you COULD just put the sausage, pickles, and mayo together and already have a decent approximation of the dish.
I’m off by one, you’re off by one - shall we split the difference and I’ll overlook that even being merely technically correct I’m still closer than you, who’s both technically and objectively incorrect?
C’mon, no cop is going to give you that deal.
People like you are literally the reason I don’t live in Germany anymore.
You sound like the kind of person who’d chew out his neighbor if their kids make as much as a peep during Mittagsruhe but start mowing the lawn at 7am simply because it’s legal.
Wow, you have even less of a sense of humour than the average German.
Enjoy your two-ingredient Fleischsalat.
Yeah, I don’t get that one either. As a German I’ve seen plenty of “Nudelsalate” which have pasta and mayonnaise.
That second one is absolutely disgusting.
It’s not a reason to get mad, though.
So Chris Hatfield is the only musician you like?
No. There’s also “The Rocky Picture Horror Show”, starring esteemed Tony Award nominated actor Tim Curry.
I like musical theater.

This is the first thing that came to mind. I love his rendition of it. Thanks for posting this
New Wave, duh
Shows picture with mostly international waters on it.
Look closely at the map: the water is in the country labeled Atlantic Ocean.
Pirate sea shanties are booming
International waters. Like that DethKlok album recorded onto pure water.
I’d be just fine if countryusic were restricted to international waters
Have you ever heard of sea shanties?
I was going to go with whale songs, but that works too. Yo ho!
Wait till you find out about world music
Sea shanties. Peak music.
Rock and roll
Disqualified unless written in international waters
Dethklok built a submarine & recorded Murmaider deep under water …
Inside the ocean, actually.
In a pineapple under the sea maybe?
Waiter: “…served with a country-style…”
Me: “What country?”
Space.
Okay. I hate any music that references all of the following pandering terms: trucks, boots, whiskey, blue jeans, dirt, drinkin’, beer, and. “back roads”.
If you removed the lyrics from almost every modern US “Country” song, they wouldn’t be so bad, by holy shit…it’s like you can’t have a country song without whiskey and blue jeans sung in an overdone Kentucky or Mid-Western accent. It’s essentially fan service for country boys and girls. Half of those singers haven’t touched so much as a rake in their entire lives and for some reason people make this genre their entire fucking identity.
Stadium country is garbage. Dark country and folk music actually does interesting things with those terms.
Folk makes you feel things. Mostly rage at the capital holding class, but that’s a thing you can feel

canshould feel.I think that’s the only thing I can feel anymore.
Build community. Rage against the rich is valuable, Lucy Parsons wasn’t wrong about them, but revolution without love of your comrades never goes well. It’s important to have things to be angry for instead of just about.

my favourite country songs remain those featured in fallout: new vegas, they’re so brilliantly atmospheric.
I generally don’t cry but i can just put on “in the shadow of the valley” to cry on demand, i’m swedish as fuck and yet that song instantly makes me nostalgic for some southern ranch i’ve never seen
