Well, I think lately it's also become customary for older people to like and enjoy street cafes because they remember doing it on vacation somewhere in Italy or Spain. That may be the reason. What I also miss is the German bread. And I ask myself now and then, where that comes from, because so many Americans are of German origin. Because I imagine the market would be big enough for it.
Most people seem to like it when they come to Germany.
It just tastes better to me. Otherwise I'm not so taken with the so-called German food. It just tastes better to me. I really think that, in my lifestyle, I don't have the kind of life that is represented as typically German. I've never done that, at least, not since I've lived alone.
