My gf ate that for lunch

To be fair I think it’s purely the appearance that’s the issue here. It’s just not the most appetizing colors or texture even if you know it tastes good! Haha

[-]

DDub04@reddit

It’s the grotesque color on untoasted bread. It looks like it tastes gross, that preparation is wack

[-]

cardueline@reddit

Yeah, I love baba ganoush and would probably like the flavor of this but the jelly-like consistency of the preserved slice looks sooo bad on that naked room temp bread lol

[-]

SousVideDiaper@reddit

I love vegetables and this looks gross to me

[-]

PoopTransplant@reddit

That looks like something a Pennsylvania coal miner would cough up.

[-]

Auxvino@reddit

German here. In some regions, if somebody sounds like coughing up something like that, people say:

"Stück Brot dabei?" = "Piece of bread with it?"

[-]

cardueline@reddit

Thank you because as an American English speaker you reminded me of my dad referring to loogies as >!”lung butter”!< 🥴

[-]

djprofitt@reddit

How is that suddenly more gross than describing it as a slimy texture?

[-]

bertohaj@reddit

In Portuguese we say something similar:

"É bom com pão" = "That's good with bread"

[-]

cyclorphan@reddit

I'm a big pão de queijo fan. Enough to know pão is npt ponounced "pow" in English like Lao or Tao or etc, heh.

[-]

Toros_Mueren_Por_Mi@reddit

And they say Germans don't have a sense of humor

[-]

peppermintmeow@reddit

Omg 😂 That's so awful and I can't wait to say it

[-]

contemporary_fairy@reddit

Lol, German here as well, never heard that one before but that's definitely going to be added to my vocabulary now! :D

[-]

Auxvino@reddit

Especially if someone coughs or makes sounds like a walrus as if hes alone and all the bystanders can literally hear what came up his throat.

[-]

AustinDream@reddit

Ich lerne Deutsch so danke. :D Ich mag das haha

[-]

TheSuperBlindMan@reddit

My question is, does that taste like a massive booger going down or what? It looks like someone picked the world's largest snot glob and decided to eat it.

[-]

Th3SlyX@reddit

It doesn't taste like it, but it definitely feels like it

[-]

TheSuperBlindMan@reddit

Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking also. I can't even imagine the taste, but I definitely bet it felt like a booger going down.

[-]

TheSuperBlindMan@reddit

It probably is something that a Pennsylvania coal Miner coughed up.

[-]

salami_cheeks@reddit

That's a good fuckin' joke right there.

[-]

TheFloppyagent@reddit

Looks like those eggplant in cans marinated in oil. It's actually very delicious. Thumbs up for the "Bernd the bread-cup"!

[-]

mencryforme5@reddit

Can I just say, once I was vacationing in the Alps at a place that had cable and I accidentally stumbled on a channel playing Bernd das Brot moping around aimlessly in space all-night long.

I had so many questions. None of which were ever sufficiently answered by my German friends.

[-]

burden_h@reddit

I had the same experience in Berlin. It seemed to be one of the main channels too

[-]

Im_a_computer-y_guy@reddit

Thanks for sharing. I looked it up. Now I have so many questions.

[-]

captaindeadpl@reddit

I'm more concerned about the texture. They look like they'd feel like uniform goo in your mouth.

[-]

hipster_dog@reddit

Yeah, I wouldn't say it's a full-blown lunch, but if you put it on toast or even flatbread it's pretty solid as a snack or a starter.

[-]

Slight-Bat7362@reddit

Even more delicious with garlic yoghurt.

[-]

LonnieJaw748@reddit

So basically a non-smoky babaganoush?

[-]

BigToober69@reddit

What section of a grocery store is this in? I'd try that.

[-]

TheFloppyagent@reddit

Maybe in the international part. It's typically an arabian/ greek thing. Very delicious!

[-]

ConsequenceJust8977@reddit

Even her mug is giving it a weird look 😬

[-]

horrescoblue@reddit

Shes german right. No one has this mug without being german (i think its the law). When i saw the thumbnail i thought they were like rotten duck fetuses still in the egg btw!

[-]

QueezyF@reddit

I thought I was looking at some weird shellfish.

[-]

horrescoblue@reddit

Those arent real countries dont be silly

[-]

brubruislife@reddit

Is thag eggplant??? Omg tell her make eggplant parmeseans bake in the oven. So good.

[-]

xfxlinkxfx@reddit

It’s obviously not a mug. It’s Bernd the bread.

DonniesAdvocate@reddit

Ah yes, I owe you buddies, I had forgotten to get my sinus surgery scheduled and this pic reminded me to deal with it.

[-]

SdSmith80@reddit

Are those the eggs where they actually let the chicken start forming, and then ferment them or something? I can't remember the whole process, just the way it looked.

[-]

InitialCarpet6226@reddit

The eyes on the cup are seeing things they can't unsee.

[-]

Tjurunga@reddit

I am guessing it is eggplant. Looks nasty.

[-]

lmindanger@reddit

Wild to post this with zero explanation of what we're looking at.

[-]

vparmar03@reddit

Looks ok to me but I would have toasted the bun and seasoned the aubergine, then given it to someone else as I don’t like aubergine specifically the texture. As long as she enjoyed it.

[-]

akasextape@reddit

I no someone else peep’d the cup side-eyeing lol.

[-]

Nothing-Matters-7@reddit

Looks like something that came out of a cow after it birthed a calf .....

[-]

zentient9@reddit

The way the cup looking at that thing lmao

[-]

TheDabberwocky@reddit

doestn look bad at all. Basically like an eggplant toast, the creamy texture of the cooked eggplant will go well with the bread.

[-]

fennek-vulpecula@reddit

This looks like something out of alien.

[-]

AmazingGrace_00@reddit

Haha just commented same then saw yours 👍

[-]

AmazingGrace_00@reddit

This is seriously a dead ringer for the Alien monster in a Petri dish.

That's German culture

[-]

Blade_of_Onyx@reddit

I’m looking at it with the same skepticism as the coffee mug

[-]

TheSuperBlindMan@reddit

Kinda reminds me of those chicken eggs that have embryos in them that were a thing on fear factor. This one looks like it's much more of the booger flavored ones.

[-]

TheSuperBlindMan@reddit

Yeah, the experience of 🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

gif

[-]

Punny_Farting_1877@reddit

Yep. My guess is eggplant, maybe jarred.

[-]

Lopsided_Cupcake45@reddit

Even that mug looks weirded out by it

[-]

VisionAri_VA@reddit

I don’t know what that is but I fear it.

[-]

fugitivuserrans@reddit

These are adult swim late show characters

[-]

RealisticAcadia5539@reddit

That looks like a scobi or bacterial colonies 🤢

[-]

Cocaine_monkey@reddit

Okay the slimy looking aubergine on bread is horrendous but that Bernd das Brot mug is fire

[-]

ieatkittenies@reddit

Did you change languages in the middle of your sentence? Im sure it's delicious but looks... less than appetizing

[-]

athenaseraphina@reddit

I’ve seen worse. Eggplant is good! The mug is not impressed for sure. 😂

[-]

FuckJannies-@reddit

Show proper respect. That mug is Berndt das Brot, German TV Icon.

[-]

dragonblock501@reddit

Just had to make sure they weren’t expired jalapeño slices.

[-]

Additional-Push-5950@reddit

Roasted eggplant out of a jar on two little pieces of toast?

[-]

Setjah_@reddit

Bernd looking at his fallen family member and what horrors happened to them. I feel you Bernd..

[-]

MR_ScarletSea@reddit

Ight but what is it tho? Looks when you buy a chicken and it has tumors on it

[-]

SurpriseAgitated9708@reddit

What in the regurgitation? Is that…..

[-]

BoldlyBaldwin@reddit

Even the cup is looking like what is that.

[-]

panosprochords@reddit

honestly bread with eggplants fried/marinated in olive oil is insanely delicious

[-]

lewwerknepp@reddit

Looks like pickled sliced pork pussy (It’s a thing, look it up!) in a stale tortilla. I’d add some ranch on it to complete the mess.

[-]

PlebTrash@reddit

The cup even lookin like “wtf is this shit.”

[-]

WindEquivalent4284@reddit

Once I realized it’s eggplant I got very hungry. Also Bernd

[-]

I've done this several times it's called eggplants "al escabeche" and it's a lovely thing. Idk what to compare it to it's like garlicky vinagre and very oily soft eggplant. Most of the time you treat them with salt so the bitterness goes away.

[-]

BuildingOne7379@reddit

Even the mug thinks it’s shit.

[-]

pogann@reddit

the mug is killing me 💀💀💀

[-]

NoFaithlessness7508@reddit

You know you fxcked up a meal when your own cup doesn’t want to help you wash it down

[-]

Wonderful-Wind-5736@reddit

Upvote for the Bernd cup.

[-]

DavieStBaconStan@reddit

So she’ll just swallow anything right?

Right?

[-]

Toast and butter the bread. Season the eggplant. Why is this so Caucasian

That cup is scared
