Should I open a German restaurant in Canada?
When I have to immigrate up there I wonder if I should just bring the family recipes with me and open a German ethnic restaurant somewhere in Canada. I'll have the black, red and gold flying next to the maple leaf and burn an Austrian flag every once in a while
:evilgrin:

2. why would you burn an austrian flag?
I thought you Germans liked them :D. I can't stand those Austrians :) but thats because they occupied my people.

12. I was refering to the Aunchluss of 1938 then again that was forced on them
but Eichmann and Seyes-Inquart and Katzenhammer, all promient nazis were Austrians, but I was sort of kidding, I can see why Germans dont like Austrians historically.

9. Didn't you ever hear of the Holy Roman Empire and the Hapsburgs?
The Germans were occupied by Austrians for as long as any nationality. In fact, until the Prussians finally forced the creation of a German state, Austrian dynastic ambitions had made the existence of a German state impossible.

7. Go for it
I'd recommend including schweinshaxe on your menu though. It's great when done properly.
