German Mettbrötchen Raw Pork Bread 'Bone Apple Tea' Meme
Text content
In germany we have a dish called Mettbrötchen, which basically is raw minced pork on bread topped with raw onion, salt and pepper... bone apple tea.
Overview
The meme consists of top text introducing the traditional German savory dish Mettbrötchen, and a photo of the dish below the text. The text explains that Mettbrötchen is a bread roll topped with raw minced pork, raw onion, salt and pepper, and ends with the humorous intentional phonetic misspelling of the French phrase 'bon appétit' as 'bone apple tea', a popular internet meme phrasing. The photo shows a Mettbrötchen sitting on a wooden cutting board, clearly displaying the layer of raw minced pork, scattered raw onion slices, and seasoning on top of the bread. The joke plays on both the unfamiliarity of raw pork dishes to many non-German audiences and the widely shared silly misspelling of 'bon appétit'.
