Sausages are a staple of German street food, and yet most places serve sausages in a round "semmel" bun. But the sausages are long (duh) so they just beg for a longer bun. Why do you think hot-dog-style buns aren't more popular?

Just my observation bit most Germans eat with knife and fork. Also, wouldn't work with Currywurst (think of a cut up sausage in enough curry sauce to drown a good size...we'll...it's too much sauce. Cheeseburgers...I've only seen them eat with knife and fork. But that's just my observations (limited as they are)

I'm sorry, who the fuck eats a burger with cutlery? Except maybe some tiny amount of people in Restaurants (not Burger places)

I do! And when I get funny looks about it I tell them "Jeder, wie er kann".

Honestly, I just don't like my hands dirty

When the burger is too high to handle (most modern places that aren't street food joints) you have no other choice.

I'm telling you who: Germans. Also, there must be placemats under plates.

So a tiny amount of people do this, and you generalise and say all Germans. Ok.

Sorry if you got all worked up about it....maybe you missed the part where I went out of my way to say it was an ANECDOTAL observation.

Untwist your panties and go along with your day.
