Quark with linseed oil, actually. Not really the same thing as cottage cheese. I can find plenty of references to Hitler eating quark, but none of him eating cottage cheese (Hüttenkäse in German).
Gutted and steeped in hot water. According to his private secretary, Traudl Junge, one of Hitler’s two favourite drinks was a tea made from apple peels. The other was caraway tea. (Maybe it’s better to call them tisanes or infusions, since I don’t know that there was any actual tea in them.)
Is there any evidence Hitler liked the tequila/salt/lime deal, chased with a corona? Cause he’d pretty much need to start with some guacamole if he did.
Da fuque? And this too:
[QUOTE=Try2BComprehensive]
But seriously, I think it is possible that Hitler ate guacamole, though not likely. Did he have cumin? Did he have tomatoes? Um, he was the Fuhrer, I think he probably could have procured those things.

What kind of communist puts cumin in guacamole? And lime is essential. Garlic is optional.
This article sez Hitler was mostly vegetarian, and discussed raw vegetables in his table talks. No mention of avocados, but he did like vegetable puddings, which could include guacamole.
Historical-Trek slash doesn’t count ![]()
More likely Maultaschen: Maultasche - Wikipedia
My brain was screaming cilantro, but my fingers typed cumin anyway. :smack: Maybe Cuban communists have used cumin…
And I want to correct my earlier error- I said Mexico had a deal with the Germans in WW2, oops, I was thinking WWI, from here
It is not like Mexico is the only place from which you can source cilantro, but we can score it as one more point against Hitler getting guacamole. OTOH Italians use cilantro, Hitler could have got some from there, but would they have used it with avocados?
This is the first time I have ever heard of this dish. Looks tasty and I love the nickname! I’ll have to ask about them at my local German deli.
Maultaschen are fantastic! There’s a Polish pierogi place I go to around here that sells pierogi with maultaschen fillings (basically, a nutmeggy meat & spinach filling.)
“Hitler Was A Vegetarian - Joel Mabus” A song from the Dr. Demento Show in 1991. (It’s probably been on there many times, but I remember it from 1991.)
One of the biographies I read back in the '80s (Joachim Fest’s?) specifically mentioned Hitler ordering ravioli at a restaurant, but I suppose he indulged in dumplings of other nationalities as well.
The incident occurred during a road trip in his new Mercedes after he struck it rich with Mein Kampf.
Well, according to the Morell documentary, it gives you bad breath and makes your stool yellow-brown and mushy (in addition to giving you cramps and making you fart).
In Russia, BTW, a vegetarian diet is mandatory among the faithful during Orthodox Lent. I once had a girlfriend who adhered to this and her breath was really, *really *bad! ![]()
Rule #1: Absolutely no juice! It is verboten!
(Surprisingly, gefilte fish is a-ok).
You’re so going to hell for that :D.
You know who else never heard of his guacamole?..
Is there another kind?
You first had me wondering where they got 50 gallons of gasoline in Berlin at that time, but my faith in the utter shittiness around them was restored when you showed there wasn’t much more. Maybe somebody siphoned it off a parked T-34.
It wasn’t as though they were getting regular refills at the corner station. The military, especially the SS, still had access to whatever gasoline was available. The Fuehrerbunker had been hoarding it for some time for, shall we say, extreme circumstances. Hitler’s cremation qualified on that score.
An interesting question. On one hand you have a person with a mainly vegetarian diet with access to almost unlimited resources with respect to acquiring vegetarian foods and this food was reasonably well known in Spain and France In the 1700-1800s and accessible via West Indies importing in the 30’s and 40’s. While the avocado was not all over the place as it is today it was probably accessible in Europe if you wanted it but you would probably have to go looking for it and bring it from Spain or France to Germany and considering ripening speed the journey would have to be speedy to have an edible fruit.
I would bet it was better than 50% he tried it at least once in his travels outside Germany.
Avocado Wiki
Good article here
Why the Avocado Should Have Gone the Way of the Dodo - Its large pit and fleshy deliciousness are all a result of its status as an evolutionary anachronism
He didn’t exactly travel much outside of Germany. He visited Mussolini in Italy in 1938; went to Vienna during the Anschluss in '38, to Prague in '39, and to Paris in 1940; and traveled south by train to meet with Mussolini, Franco, Laval, and Petain between 1940 and '42. He also went to Finland for a meeting with Mannerheim in '42.
All of his other travels outside Germany (France, Belgium, Poland, Ukraine) were connected with the military campaigns of WWI and WWII.*
