LOL. Trust me, that is PRECISLY what we heard.

And, given that your name is “Patton,” I suspect the last time you were in Germany, you didn’t hear it because you ordered YOUR bread at the muzzle of a Sherman tank. :-))

Nahhh, wrong generation. When I lived in Germany, I told everyone my name was “Patrick.” What can I tell you, I lived in Bavaria.

But I never had a german tell me no more food of any sort - on the other hand, if you wasted any, even the waitress would cuss you out in a blaze of fury...

A generation of deprivation can change a country’s food habits.

The overwhelming german attitude is order all you wish - but you better eat it.

Only little children can escape this - they use the magic phrase, “Ich bin satt.” “I am satisfied.” At which point, the waitress will turn on the parents... and abuse them for ordering too much food for the children.
