Blogs by their very nature are self-involved. But today’s Egg is all about you, the audience.
I sense your confusion.
WordPress has recently given their hosted blogs the ability to see what country site visitors are from. So I can now see that people from Turkey, Germany, Phillipines, Mexico, France, and Italy all read The Sticky Egg on a daily basis.
To be honest, it kinda blows me away.
So today, I would like to salute the top three countries — besides my beloved, native USA — that have become loyal Eggers:
Australia
Canada
United Kingdom
Thanks for visiting. I hope to return the favor very soon!
Cultural confusion
Soft, warm pretzels with a side of spicy mustard.
And I’ve always attributed my taste for them to my German heritage.
But while working with some colleagues from Germany this past week, I learned a disturbing fact —
Germans don’t put mustard on their pretzels.
In fact, the big soft pretzels that we know and love are typically only served in the morning. With butter. If they do venture onto the lunch or dinner menu, they are paired with cheese or meat.
No mustard in sight.
And here I thought I was enjoying an offering from my homeland. But the majority of mustard, as it turns out, comes from Canada.
What’s that about?
