And do you practice it? I'm Dutch but we don't speak the language nor do things for our heritage. Did go to a Dutch Festival a couple of times. We are known to be stubborn & pennypinchers as well as hard workers. Just ask my 83 y/o dad lol
I am American and have mostly German heritage. I don't speak German and grew up with a mother who knew German words and I didn't know that it was German, I thought she was making up silly words since no one else said those things and I was embarrassed. It wasn't until I was in high school and my friends were taking German class that I heard those words come up and I knew what they were LOL I wasn't so embarrassed anymore.
We ate a lot of German cooking growing up but my mom never used seasoning (is that a German thing???) and my dad always complained.
Truth to say that most American people are all from Irish to Italian and African antecedents. Just think about that for a min, I mean back from the start where did the first people came from?
