....unless the Kraut is a fundamentalist vegetarian. The Germans call the
Italians "Spagetties", but most get a chuckle out of it. It really depends
from which area people come from.
Try to use "Kraut" in Munich....  This would have very little effect on real
Bavarians since they identify themselves as such. Being a German is
secondary.
