| - The Germans do some things really well, others not so much. War is a national sport (the division they play in, including France, Belgium, Poland, and Luxembourg, is ridiculously easy, not like the tougher US, Russia, China league) and high-end sports cars with typical Teutonic over-engineering ("you know, the Germans make good stuff") define this European powerhouse.
Beer is something the Germans do well, specifically lagers. We sampled (quaffed or guzzled would be better words) several of their drafts, and all of them were medicine for my inner goose-stepper. Cheese curds, found everywhere in Madison, were as good as any.
Food, and romance, are not something the Germans do particularly well. I had the brat selection, served with three different brats over a bed of sauerkraut with some fried potatos. Nothing really special, but as you're throwing back half-liters it almost doesn't matter. You came here to drink. Under no circumstances should you conquer a neighboring table.
