To me it feels like a matured Reddit. (At least most of the time 🙃)

I feel like half of the people on here are 45yo Linux sysadmins, and the other half are Germans

[–] isthingoneventhis@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The sheer quantity of German memes never ceases to amaze me.

Yeah, my level of German has increased just reading them all 🇩🇪

And I like their pasta thing

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Link? What’s their “pasta thing”?

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

They started putting noodles on all the memes' heads because the guy who keeps posting memes is called InstantNoodles

Dude, I thought you were taking about spaetzle...

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

We may have to talk about spaetzle. I wasn’t familiar with it but it looks like a great idea …..

How easy is it to eat? My teen is home after getting his wisdom teeth out and I’m trying to figure out meals he can eat. Pasta can go either way - macaroni is fine. Tortellini may be as soft but is too big for the tooth area he is comfortable using. Gnocchi is too chewy. If I don’t get a new pasta idea on the right side, it’s time to move into fish: salmon is flaky so should be good. Canned tuna is broken up but real tuna is too chewy. I wonder if cod is flaky enough

Spaetzle is generally chewy. Similar to dumplings in effort. Prob not what you're looking for.

My grandmother combined spaetzle with American chicken noodle soup. Made broth, thickened with flour, cut the spaetzle long and thick. It's amazing.

Sounds delicious. I’ll have to keep it in mind for later
