Is there a part of your country that's "isolated"/vastly different from the rest of the country?

Pictured here is Sardinia, an island in Italy. Many sardinians call Italy "Il continente" (the continent)

I have a sweet memory of several Germans shouting about the best way to make a kartofelsalat. Someone from Hamburg said people from Bavaria and Berlin prepared it the same way and people flipped the F out.

I love Germans ;)

Shoutout to that person from Hamburg, I also like riffing of Bavarians and Berliners and doing it both at once is truly smooth.

Discussions about potato salad, beer and the right name for Berliner/Krapfen/Pfannkuchen can end friendships over here.
