“Who was that other guy on the Munich Tatort again?” Batic and what now?
(Every German can identify the iconic Tatort detectives from different regions, even if they don’t watch the show)

Ha, yes for my spouse’s country it would be, let’s schedule to meet at 2pm. If they show up any earlier than 3:15, they’re a spy.

Nah, it would probably be a food-related question like asking which ingredient should never be used in potato salad, or possibly a classic about stuffing vs. dressing, sweet vs. savory grits/cornbread, pumpkin vs. sweet potato pie, etc. If the person answers incorrectly, I’ll offer them a nice cup of tea…

Batic and Leitmayr debuted in 1991.
I deliberately chose a long-running one to account for generational overlap
I don’t know the answer to any of those questions! Luckily I do like a nice cup of tea.

In the Chicago area:
- if someone mentioned the “Willis Tower” you’d know they were an imposter.
- You would be expected to be able to name at least five members of the '85 Bears.
- Know the names of the interstates (Kennedy, Stevenson, Dan Ryan) but not necessarily their numbers.
- Be able to recall exactly what happened when they drank Malört the first time
