What is "Central Europe"?

[Ouistreham]

Central Europe = wet summers + icy winters, hence a special type of flora, which conditions specific requirements as for agriculture and available foodstuffs.

Fermeted cabbage used to be the only source for vitamins after November.

Consequently, Central Europe equates the Sauerkraut Belt:

Other: Germany, Hungary, Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, Austria, Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Albania.

Serbian sauerkraut dish:
There is not a day that goes by when Serbs don't eat Sauerkraut = Kiseli Kupus. It's their national dish.

[rashka]

Serbs even make Sauerkraut pie. It is very tasty.

[Geminus]

East Europeans also eat saurkraut, just more easily prepared.

But we are the original Krauts

You forgot to include Lithuania in the poll.

Lietuva..."Central Europe"??

Other: Germany, Hungary, Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, Austria, Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Albania.

I won't speak for Yugoslavia, but surely Bulgaria, Albania and Southern Romania are not by any definition Central European.

[riverman]

why not?

I've never heard of Lithuania or any of the baltic states being referred to as "central Europe".

[riverman]

I can say the same about France.

So your point is that because France isn't central Europe but it's on the poll, you want Lietuva on the poll too?

What else do want on the poll, Spain?, Sicily?... Iceland?

[Corvus]

I consider neither France nor Lithuania as Central Europe.
In my eyes it´s just Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Slovenia
