Don't shop at Lidl then. Restaurants are what you make of it, goes from basic to fancy and the basic ones are, well, basic. (Though the basic ones are probably at a step lower than the ones in the US because of fast-food in the US)
Though I'll give it to you that 80% of restaurants are generic Italian or Asian ones
> Stores in general suck. They have fewer, and worse products.
Again, don't shop at Lidl. "Fewer products" oh you mean, slightly different products pretending they're not 50% HFCS like in the US? Or products that "look better" but aren't? (like excessively red apples that taste like nothing)
Nowhere did the OP say they shopped at Lidl. You seemed to have put those words in their mouth, not once but twice. You seemed to have taken the OP's comment very personally for some reason.
Berlin has many wonderful things going for it but Berlin is not known as being some bastion of great food. Nor is known as a food destination. There's a reason for that.
>"Restaurants are what you make of it, goes from basic to fancy and the basic ones are, well, basic."
What does that even mean? Some of the best restaurants in places like NYC, Austin and LA are "basic" restaurants but the food is delicious and cheap. From noodles, pizza, bbq, burgers, tacos, etc.
You comment about apples is really bizarre. The US has some of the best produce in the world, from local farmer's markets to giant Whole Foods. You can also find organic produce at nearly every market these days.

I agree. Maybe Germans think mayo is spicy as the meme says (currywurst aside). But it is changing.

"Best produce" is not necessarily the ones that look better on a shelf. Berlin is not lacking in organic produce and supermarkets. Or just fruit/veg stalls.
Oh and before I forget, don't shop at discount supermarkets.
