Episode 186: Just Desserts
This week we delve into those odd little bits of culture that are surprisingly popular in other countries. Case in point, the unexpected popularity of British furniture in Germany. Nic, our resident Brit, finds himself bewildered by a furniture brand that has somehow slipped under his radar, proving that even the most mundane items can hold cultural significance abroad.
Shifting focus to the realm of desserts, Dili introduces the delectable Sticky Toffee Pudding from Britain, sparking a discussion on the best sweet treats Germany has to offer. We compare Nachspeisen and question whether cake truly reigns supreme in the pantheon of German desserts.
To wrap up the show, we have some updates on Euro 2024 before embarking on a controversial journey to transform the beloved Döner into a regional delicacy.
