neighbor state to Bavaria

Never have I felt Baden-Württemberg to be so utterly disrespected

Jokes aside, potato salad is an absolute banger that goes with so many wildly different meals

Whenever I said Baden-Württemberg to an English speaker they just say Gesundheit. 🤷🏻‍♂️

They probably recognized enough to tell it was a Germanic language, but knows no German.

That would be a very common response in my area, but it was settled prominently by German immigrants.

There's a subtle awareness you get growing up around people who are very proud of their Germanic heritage, but not in a racist way like some would assume from the south.
