There is something richly significant about the German E.coli epidemic: thousands of people have suffered, and they now believe the most likely source was a Germaqn farm growing mung beans.
Mung Beans? Thousands and thousands of Germans are eating Mung beans?
Whatever happened to the great German meal of a kilo of sausage, half a pig and two litres of beer, with a vegetable course which amounted to one small pickled cucumber?
Come to think of it this must be why they initially blamed the Spanish cucumbers: they reasoned that it couldn't be German, it couldn't be the sausage or the beer, so it must be the cucumber.
You read it here first: this namby pamby diet marks the end of German hegemony in Europe.
