I love the honesty of the reporter, she makes me feel that I can trust her.

@norfazrinjamal8413 3 ай бұрын

I'm glad that the reporter was honest. Most food reviewers say they love the dish even when their facial expressions betrayed their true feelings; all because they don't want to offend the host.

@folmus Ай бұрын

Remember she is German, hurting someone’s feelings is less important than being honest for most people. Here in Germany the polite thing to do is being upfront and honest about most things, as opposed to being agreeable and smiley. As a South American, even after 5 years and a German wife I still grapple a bit with this kind of politeness vs the one I grew up with.

Albanians have a light breakfast? That must be a modern thing, because our breakfast are as fatty as they come. Lots of pastry with cheese and the good old dhalle! And then what did they do to the fli? Sweet fli? Who’s ever heard of anything like that? Interpretation indeed, but definitely not the real deal. The real fli is salt and savoury. Wtf 😂 talk about ruining the traditional Albanian cuisine by bringing in some fusion of some sorts.
