The COVID people in Italy were sicker due to their high gluten pasta diet. Potato eating Germans got fewer critical complications.

I have. I also have German friends. I know what they eat. Who invented the
pretzel?

LOL, Germans do indeed love their breads. They also do a lot of rice
comparativly (sp?) to much of Europe. That one suprised me when I
found out. I think it was Italy for number 1 and they were 2 or a
close 3rd.

It surprised me when I read your post. As I kid I spent more time in my
German friend's house than in my own and don't remember every seeing
rice served. I have been to Germany several times and never saw it
served anywhere. So I cheated and looked it up. It turns out that
Germany is one of the lowest in per capita rice consumption.

Humm, I malformed my search? Hey, I can be wrong! I don't think it
was served 'alone' there often but more used in things.

My dad liked the Germans - he said they were good, fun, people. He said the Swedes were kind of "sour" people - and he was married to a Swede. Beats the heck out of me what the German people eat. Rice you say?

You've been listening to Doc. Wallach. He's a quack. Germans are known for
drinking gluten containing beer, and eating gluten containing foods like
Spaetzel, breaded meats. bread, cakes, etc.

A big plate of pasta is comparably a gluten gut fest.
