German tourist sued a New York taqueria for salsa that was too spicy. Judge says ‘the spice is often the point’

He should keep this up and keep suing people, he will become American in no time

I hope he never goes to Thailand

This must have been a Bavarian, I would bet!

@skinnylatte

QK,
> "… idiosyncratic characteristic…"
that exactly describes maaany German tourists, mostly seen at tourist hotspots.

Insisting on having "Schnitzel und Pommes", "Weissbier", "Bratwurst", "Deutsches Frühstück", Deutsches Brot". Or wearing Birkenstock, even on official or religious events or sites. Or Reserving sun loungers with their own towel.

Even Chancelor Merz criticised the lack of German bread on an international conference. What a whimp!

And what whimps all of them.

@coastgnu @skinnylatte So you‘ve lost your bet. Mr. Manz lives next to Stuttgart, following to the News article.

For North Germans, especially for us Frisians, every place south of Osnabrück is a suburb of northern Palermo. So they are Bavarians for us, at least …
😉

@hobo_ahoi @coastgnu @skinnylatte And there even is (was?) a Thai restaurant in Stuttgart that will serve spicy food! (I was working a bit south of there for a few months in 2013, and finding Thai that was actually spicy became a bit of a hobby. That was the only one I found.)
