Eating Spätzle without anything is like eating dry spaghetti. Nobody over the age of 3 would ever do that. There are so many nice options. Gravy or mushroom sauce. Or cheese with fried onions
As a german I shall demand a retry on Spätzle! Loved the rest haha
The Spatzle people in the comments defending their dish is STRONG, and I love it!!
Hey guys, I have a feeling they may have served the spätzle incorrectly
Between the Spätzle scandal today and the Buldak ramen fiasco a few weeks ago, my confidence in the kitchen crew has been shaken
As a polish person, I'm never exited to see Poland here, they alway mess something up.
I agree with the outcome, that bolognese is the best. But damn, as a European, this was a hard watch. Is this how Asians feel when we butcher their food? 😬
Most controversial episode of GMM
Slovakia has like 3 dishes in their cuisine and one time on of them gets finally featured anywhere they say it's polish 😂😂😂 I'm crying
I love that the comments are filled with rage over the lack of gravy/sauce on the späetzle
