11. Honorable mentions:
Beer, but Belgium does it better.
Schnitzel, but Austria does it better.
Sauerkraut, but Poland does it better (in fact, Poland does many same dishes better)

10. Linseneintoof. A hearty lentil soup is an easy crowd pleaser especially when the weather gets cold. It's also something that people think about a lot when they leave.

9. Grünkohl mit Mettenden. Mettenden is the cheat code for German cooking. It's sausage and it improves everything by making it taste like Mettenden, even kale.

8. Glühwein. Gosh im really struggling. Two ways this makes in top ten. First, the dirt cheap tasting half sugar, the glory to all winemakers struggling with excess stock, version you have at Christmas msrkets. Second, when you get a proper one and are surprised how much better it can be.

7. Laugenecke. This is the German croissant (dont get croissants in Germany) for its layered texture, but with the bretzel bread. It's breakfast bread, but eat it whenever you'd like.

6. Flammkuchen. This is German pizza. When you first have it, it's boring. But you'll miss it when you leave the country. Also, im running out of ideas

5. Bratkartoffeln. Germans are potatoheads and apparently has the best potatos for crispsps. This way of pan frying potatoes, probably with a lot of animal fat, is the best way of making potatoes.

4. Gelato. I know it's not German but the German approach to gelato has to be respected. It's really cheap, only recently passed the 1 eur barrier, all over town, and Germans just go crazy over it when the weather is nice.

3. Currywurst. Legend has it that it started in Berlin after WWII when the curry powder rationed to British soldiers were used to make this delicacy. It's the German equivalent to ddeukbokki.

2. Gänsekeule, roast goose leg with red cabbage and Knödle. My work cafeteria serves it once in a while and it is the highlight of all things that happen at work in that year.

Looks like they're post-plateau. No amount of data can improve its imitation. It has to start doing logic. It's gonna be fun for the data centers.

In my six years living in Germany I notice more and more similarities with the US: the love of car centric cities and a two tier healthcare system
