STILL. FUCKING. DOES.
My POV while reading this post (I have not gone swimming today)
I thought I was the only one! You put them in the middle then press it slightly so they go “crunch” a little. Yum!
French fries is the standard German pool food. Like, nowhere else do you see stands selling nothing but fries (with ketchup and/or mayo, of course). And they just don’t taste as good anywhere else, I guess it’s the chlorine in the air making the salt taste extra special without actually tasting more salty.
As a swamp German, this is how we do it, too. Aside from ketchup/mayo we use curry gewurtz (Hela) and mayo on there, with some diced onion.
You put some of those chips in those sandwiches and youre cookin’
My dad: “The plain peanut butter sandwiches will continue until morale improves.”
My dad: “boiled hotdogs in store-brand white bread are what the real athletes eat.”
peanut butter sandwiches were one of my favorite things growing up. I’d still be eating them today, even though I have to make my own peanut butter here in Japan, except for my body declaring war on gluten (probably celiac since 1 parent has it, but not confirmed yet).
You can find it, but it’s rarer and typically quite expensive. I don’t know who carries it in my corner of rural Japan. I just make my own in the food processor (peanuts + salt + patience). Peanut Cream (which has a vaguely peanutty flavor but mostly a cream flavor and a ton of sugar) is quite popular, but I don’t care for it.
