Germans are the second largest beer consumers in the world, clearly after the Irish. In fact, beer is officially considered a food in Bavaria. Beer is such an important "food" that there are such things as beer museums. Beer museums are museums are show art, architecture, and historical events that rotate around bear; thus, showing how beer has shaped the worlds culture. These museums are so important that in Munich There are over 60 beer gardens. To ask for a beer in a pub, you would use your thumb to indicate “one” rather than your index finger. Imagine a person needs to know how to order a beer in order to only get one. It makes you imagine how many beers are consumed per capital on average. Which is, "The 28 gallons of beer per capita Germans consume every year far exceeds what Americans drink — 21 gallons per capita"(Nelson1).



Much like beer and beer museums there is-any guesses?-bread and bread museums in Germany. There are ways over 300 types of bread in Germany. In a way I feel sorry for the Germans, I mean, how do they chose between breads? Of course there are also bred museums. Germany invented gummy bears. Now you know who to thank those of you who are gummy bear addicts. There are over 1,000 kinds of sausages in Germany. I think that Germany tends to overdo things when it comes to food. Lastly, Donaudampfschifffahrtselektrizitätenhauptbetriebswerkbauunterbeamtengesellschaft is the longest word in German language-you should try to say it ten times, the denial of the holocaust is a crime in Germany, and Germany has the most zoos in the world, which is 400 zoos. Yes, the last part was totally unrelated to the question.
