German beer and German sausages
Are the best foods in the world!
When it comes to hearty eating
Deutschland's flag must be unfurled!
Wiener Schnitzels, Bratkartoffeln,
Pile them high on every plate!
Cook for Germany, cook for Germany,
All foreign food is second rate!
Deutschland, Deutschland über Alles
Let all the others salivate!
[Alternative ending for vulgar persons]:
Deutschland, Deutschland über Alles
Shove it up your arsehole, mate.
Author notes
Sung to the German National Anthem "Deutschland ueber Alles", also known as the Emperor's Hymn by Franz Joseph Haydn. Some people will know it also as the Anglican hymn "Glorious things of thee are spoken".

Fun
This is an entertaining, fun poem its the sort of thing I like to write with a rhythm you could sing a long to. Although I cant agree on the choice of food as Im a vegetarian for a start. Look out for my food poem which Ill enter soon.

Sehr sehr gut! (And thus concludes my disgustingly poor German for the day...)
This is wonderful, particularly as I actually learned the words to the German National Anthem as a Year Five student. (I have no idea what that equates to in terms of German tutoring. I was nine or ten.) Have some applause and consideration for some clappy prizes, my friend who is definitely NOT a rodent. -

Barty very happy and honoured your bronze prize to have won. He should have won gold in the other contest he was in but only got HM - things are looking up: next contest it will be Silberpreis und then the Goldene Tasse he will win!

Rouladen mit Spaetzli sounds suitably diet-conscious, I think.

Good job here, although i dont understand the German aspect of it, i must say this is well written, and it is very hearty! thanks muchly for entering, best of luck to you.
-
Excellent!
-
Good one! Do you know any good words to the HorstWessellied too, Barty, you clever fucking little mole?
-
Das stimmt genau! this song has the approval of the Koch/Cook family!

Du bist so schoen!

haha, very creative. Funny poem! I don't think German food is the best tho
I'm 1/4 dutch, 1/8 german, 1/8 welsh, 43% Chinese, and 7% ethnic Malay. I've had all my cultures food and I like the Asian ones best but nothing can beat German custard puffs! Schnitzel is nice too! 
-
-
I am fascinated to hear of someone 43% Chinese. This must be a strange thing. Also I have never heard of custard puffs. Faggot poofs yes (we have a lot of those fairy persons) but custard puffs no. Also I know the Chinese poofs.
-
-
What's a faggot and Chinese poof? Is that a joke??? Custard puffs are sometimes called cream puffs but I always say custard Anyway, I'm 43% chinese because my mom is 87% Chinese and 13% Malay. Her dad was 100% chinese and her mom was 75% Chinese, 25% malay. My dad is 50% Dutch, 25% German, 25% Welsh. My dad met my mom while on business in Singapore and they got married there. I was born in singapore and I'm a dual citizen; citizen of Singapore and the united states

You seem obsessed with percentages, but surely these racial calculations are pointless. How could you possibly know anyone was "100% Chinese" ? How about if his great-great-grandfather was 1/4 Mongolian? Might that spoil your calculations? As might any other of the thousands of permutations.
-
-
Well I'm not quite sure as its terribly hard to go back that far with my family heritage. I doubt he was though as he was of southern Chinese origin and it's very very rare to have Mongolians in southern China. It was also terribly hard to move throughout China during imperialist times. I'm not obsessed with calculations, its just simple math. 1/4, 1/8/ 1/2-1/8, on and on

How about if his grandmother was raped by a Laotian and never told anyone?
-
-
I doubt it as the city of Amoy isn't close to Laos.........but seriously, stop getting so technical! I didn't do anything wrong to anyone here and was merely commenting on this interesting poem.
-
-
How about if the person who raped his grandfather was not entirely sure of his parentage, being a total bastard? That would upset your calculations too.
-
-
Seriously, get off it! When I said 100% I just said as in saying his lineage to our knowledge is fully or nearly full chinese. ok? My calculations did not have any interior meanings or anything. you're blowing this out of proportion.....
-
-
Please stop squabbling about your parentage on my poem! I don't care whether you are 50% Jewish negro. Stop it. Go and squabble elsewhere.

Lol. That would actually be "Deutsche Nationalküchenchefanthem (or hymne)". So you like our food, I take it? x)

Thank you very much for putting me right. I have strabismus and I could not see properly in my dictionary. I also am not sure if the Allpoetry system will permit an umlaut in a poem title, but I will do my best. My German has many mistakes as my mother (Hamburgerin) was raped by US soldiers 1945-47 so many times she forgot her grammar.
-
-
I like thiss piece alot....although shouldnt 'ueber' in the last line be 'uber'? Anyway, I liked the twist upon this you made with food....Keep it up!!!
-
-
No you are wrong. There is an umlaut after the 'u' in u-b-e-r and if you can't type an umlaut, you add an 'e'. So I have now managed to put in the umlaut. So do not get so smart with me, du Arschloch.
