RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world

I'm a Zimbabwean 🇿🇼 who has stayed half of her life in Malawi 🇲🇼

If I could pick one souvenir food wise it would be this garlic sauce from here in Malawi.

Will make a series of posts on this.

The most German condiment I can think of (besides Löwensenf, I guess). It’s a mildly spicy, curry-flavored ketchup that you’ll probably find in every single German pantry.

EDIT: actually, now that I think about it, Löwensenf is definitely the classier choice. Traditional spicy German mustard from Düsseldorf. Be careful with the red one, that definitely packs quite a punch (say goodbye to your sinuses), but the others are still very flavorful and well balanced. Goes great with Bratwurst, Leberkäse, or fatty meats (like a pork roast). Some people also like to put it on Teewurst (a type of spreadable smoked sausage made from pork and bacon).

If you don’t like it spicy, they also have a sweet Bavarian style (very mild). Traditionally, this is served with Weißwurst (Bavarian veal sausage) and a pretzel.

Nice!

Looking forward to learning some German after I complete my Zulu and French courses on Duolingo.
