I sense some cultrual misunderstandings (re tone) that have led to
bigger
misunderstandings about where the other person is coming from (having
lived
in Germany and spent considerable time in North America/with North
Americans).

I think they both mean well.





I've read that there's a difference between North/East and South
Germany.
All I did was post an authentic recipe from my great grandmother who
came
from South Germany. I don't care for German Potato Salad with mayo or
mustard; I prefer vinegar/sugar based. I probably prefer it because I
grew
up with it.

I didn't mean to start a flame war! Just posting a recipe so if I lose
it
(again), I can find it via a Google search. I swear, Google is the
best
tool to store anything on.

I wasn't referring to you, kili. I meant Victor and Wayne. I respect
bith
and felt sad that they're arguing over what might simply be a
misunderstanding.

I'm happy you posted the recipe. I'd never seen a recipe for potato
salad
using bacon before. Only the kunds described by Victor

When I lived in Germany, there was a lot of debate about "right" recipes
for potato salad. Most centered around the dressing (cream mayo style vs
oil + vinegaror broth). And around whether to serve them warm (the oil
salads) or cold (mayo style). The subject of north and south always came
up. People anjoyed the debate. They always knew which argumetns wre
going
to be used, but they repeated them anyways. Liek a ritual

So I figure potato salad and right recieps are importatnt in Germany.


Was the cold mayo style from the north or south?
Was the warm oil style from the north or south?

I like both, but if I'd have my druther, I'd have to go with the cream
mayo
style.
But I still have filed Kili's. I think it's the real-deal. My first real
taste of German potato salad was in Germany. Yep, it was made Kili's
grandma's style.
Thanks,
Dee Dee



And mine is usually served warm, but can be cold as well.

Kili, the times I've had it your German style has mostly been 'room
temperature.'

Had it that way too, Dee Dee. It just depends upon how long it's been
sitting.

I wasn't and am not considering what is/was served in Germany. It has no
relevance in the US. The recipe you posted is probably the most recognized
style of what USians perceive as German Potato Salad, and it also happens
to be my favorite. I take it as authentic from your German grandmother and
know that it had it's origin in her roots. I'm really glad you posted it.

I didn't mean to start a flame war! Just posting a recipe so if I lose

You didn't start a flame war. Victor clearly has no concept of what I was
trying to convey and I clearly do not care. I certainly won't be posting
any further comments in response to his rebuffs. It's pointless and a
waste of time.

Thanks for a wonderful recipe, kili!
