Today on "can't make this shit up":
I've been in a German hospital for a few weeks. For every meal we get to pick from three options. My hospital roomie picked "fish and chips".

@aesthr@wandering.shop It's beautiful isn't it? Like. I cannot tell if this is humour or a dead serious attempt at fish and chips without knowing what it is. We're still chuckling at this an hour later

@tashatheinnkeeper@social.treehouse.systems In most parts of Germany I have been to so far it is the default flavor, interestingly!

@alexadeswift@lgbtqia.space Reading the word Pommes or Pommes Frites in English sentences reads so funny to me. A bit like "Damn girl, those are some Pom-ass Frites!" 🤣

@discobiker@urbanists.social @alexadeswift@lgbtqia.space I hope nobody ever lets this hospital know hospitals dont do that! I'd not make it through weeks if they serve low fat and low salt 😱

@svelmoe@hachyderm.io Yeah, we call it the mystery food game! Some days its very hard to tell what we're served even full well knowing what we chose for the day. Just hospital food things!
(or it's a sneaky way to keep us exercising the ol mental faculties, who knows!)

Nope! They clearly knew the dish (based on malt vinegar, which is otherwise highly unusual here) and used the English spelling.

@Amorpheus@kind.social @aesthr@wandering.shop Or serving spaghetti with cream sauce and calling it "carbonara", as is common in this country? hehehe
Replying to
@halfbyte@ruby.social Indeed! According to roommate it was. Probably the blandest attempt at them from what I hear, but an attempt!
