That's a bit of a chronic condition a lot of germans suffer from. My theory is, after being the bad guys during WW2, we have developed a bit on an inferiority complex when it comes to our international reputation and so we're just bound to obsessively watch every single video we come across that features non-germans react to german things.
Habe ich versucht. War nicht mein Ding. Dann habe ich entdeckt, dass man gar nicht auf der Hütte sitzen muss, sondern auch reingehen kann. Game changer...
"i want to use my Gaabelll again !" omg so adorable ! No seriously, seeing your american gf picking up the german words and throwing them around willy nilly is awesome. We all grow up hearing english and watching movies. A normal american does just NOT pick up german. The fact she pronounces them rather well and tries to learn new words speaks volumes of her affection. You guys also make an adorable couple. I love the german seriousness and dry humor while she is the wild horse goofing around :)
we always ate it with vanilla sauce, not ice cream. and by the way apfelstrudel is really easy to do yourself so it has no raisins in it, because i also dont like them, atleast not in the apfelstrudel. peel the apples may take the longest. just peel and grate the apples, some hazelnuts and brown sugar, a bit of cinnamon and the filling is like allready done (some lemon juice so the apples dont get brown). you just buy the dough from the supermarket. while baking there will be juice coming out of it, just take a brush 2-3 times and brush the top dough with it :D
@@holger_p hmm well i am swiss and here you can buy puff paste (dough) in every supermarket and its allready in the perfect thickness :P i thought thats kinda a universal thing but maybe its not :D

When Deana said something about the breadiness of German cake you have to consider: in Germany there is a DIFFERENCE between KUCHEN (cake) and TORTE (tart)! And many of the things they had on the table were actually Kuchenteile/Gebäck and not slices of a real Kuchen.
Es gibt sweet breads (Kuchen) und Brote. Dann wiederum nennt man Zwetschgenkuchen nich plum cake sondern plum tarte oder plum pie. Somit haben die Amerikaner wieder ein bis zwei Wörter mehr. 😉
In den USA gibt es nur Weißbrot. In ihrer Welt ist das schon ein bisschen wie Brot, nur eben süß. Ich finde Amerikaner auch sehr "schwer" und nicht wirklich wie ein klassischer Rührkuchen. Liegt daran, dass der Teig recht trocken ist, damit er beim Backen nicht komplett auseinander läuft. Ich fand den rein weißen Amerikaner eh ein schlechtes Beispiel, denn normalerweise sind die ja halb weiß, halb braun, was vermutlich der eigentliche Grund ist, weshalb sie Amerikaner heißen.
@@wolfsfee2001 Das kann echt ein regionales Ding sein. Als ich klein war, gab es immer nur halb hell, halb dunkel. Aber als Jugendliche gab es dann auch öfter mal komplett hell oder dunkel. Schätze, die Leute hatten danach gefragt, weil sie die eine oder andere Hälfte lieber mochten.
Little fun fact about the "Amerikaner" : it was originally called Ammoniakaner, because of the ingredient ammonium hydrogen carbonate, which was used as baking powder back in the day. As far as i've read, that name was too much of a tongue twister, so one baker named them Amerikaner. It has nothing to do with the US 😀 (this was also a question on the old quiz show Genial Daneben, if anyone remembers that)
Interesting theory, but I am sceptical. Not sure why they would have come up with the ending -aner, rather than calling it something like "Ammoniakkuchen". Also, if it was called "Ammoniakaner" originally, I would expect that this could be documented with old recipes or texts. According to Wikipedia, it's one of several theories, and there is no clear documentation for any of them.
Amerikaners exist in the US, too - they are known as "black and white cookies" in New York. Basically the same thing, but half black and half white sugar glazing. It's quite possible that they originated there and hence the German name.
@@stefanmuc2k You nailed it! While the "cake' part of the German one looked a little different than what you and I are used to in New York, I believe the German recipe was/is probably the original and then a German bakery in NY made the recipe to be more of a pound cake density. It's my very favorite cookie and then I love the rainbow cookies.
I love Streuselkuchen WITHOUT the pudding center. just the fluffy bottom and the butter-rich streusel topping... (but it has to be slightly moist, not the bone-dry stuff some bakeries sell)
You are really cute as an american-german couple! By the way, prune cake ist one of my favourites. I love it because it is not so sweet. My Grandma made it very often.

Just returned back to the US from visiting Germany for the first time. I am really going to miss the German bakeries. My favorite items were the Bienenstich and Johannisbeeren Kuchen. I don’t think there is a German bakery item that I tried that I didn’t like.
I'm a professional baker (well until covid took my job) so this video is right up my alley. Thanks for showing me some baked goods from your country. I live in a German American influenced area but a lot of these things were totally new to me. Love your videos.
The plum cake should have a thin crispy layer of yeast dough. The (typical blue) plums tend to be a bit sour. Therefore you sprinkle sugar on top a few minutes before serving / eating. This makes the plum layer sweeter and juicier. You don't sprinkle the sugar longer in advance - otherwise the dough get soaky and mushy. And its best with whipped cream. (Maybe this detail got lost with Deana and Phil) If you buy this cake from a bakery its often on the sour side, because they probably buy the plums from a supermarket and for transport reasons they sell plums not fully ripe. If you make this cake from your own plums at home, you pick them fully ripe and the cake becomes sweeter. If all those things done right it's an excellent late summer cake.
I am from Germany and you both do a amazing job. I love your videos. I love hearing Deana speaking German. I love the American accent. She is so sweet with her mixed German English talking. Go on guy you're amazing!!!!!!!!
Norwegian here, and just had to say the long cake with cream filling is called napoleons cake up here in the north for some reason. I've made Berliners myself once, filling the dough with vanilla cream, then frying them in oil. They became so devine.
Well ... ... I grew Up in an Bäckerei & Konditorei ... And i was every free Time in the Processing with My Uncle. It was a real Paradise! Even when we Kids Play in the Garden every Round i Drive by the Backstuben Windows which usually where Open in Summertime to geht a little Snack ... 😁 ... When i grew Up i was allowed to Help and learned a lot of the Art of Bake really good bread and Cakes ... 😲 ...

Aw yes, delicious! I found some bakeries in the US to be quite decent, but nothing beats German and French ones! Can't wait to have fresh sunflower seed bread rolls again soon! Superb video as always, watching you guys exploring cultures is addictive!!
You two are way cute! My favorites that you didn't get are the torten-- like hazelnuss, pineapple, frankfurter Kranz, etc. The torten are different than our cakes-- not so sweet as they use cream/buttercream and fruit and/or nuts. The cake is light but with a different texture than American cakes. The really good ones melt in your mouth-- literally!
I had prune cake all my childhood and I still love it at 23 You should try and find Dampfnudeln, though I'm not sure if you find them outside of south germany.
@@holger_p I totally agree with you :) It also depends what day is it, :D Some strange combination are also welcome, that's the way you try something new. And it depends from which country you're from. Here in Croatia, for breakfast we have white coffee (Nescafe with milk), and homemade bread with butter or something to put on that amazing fresh bread from the oven. :)
@@holger_p Both of our countries have complicated history... :) And yeah, I don't know when bakers sleep when they are at 2am at work. :D But I don't go to the bakery, I make bread at home by myself :)
I am totally in love with prune cake!!! I am not old. You need cream to eat with and it totally depends on the quality of prunes how it tastes because normally it is not that sour. Apfelstrudel you totally need to eat that warm with a bit of vanilla ice cream. YUM!
terminator mlt Totally! I think most Americans are biased against prune filling because of how prunes are marketed here. I’m American but part Ashkenazi Jewish, and grew up with many foods from Central and Eastern Europe. Prune filling was used in a number of traditional cookies and cakes. I think it’s yummy.
I've laughed so hard, this caketesting was extremely funny.😂 The cream in Bienenstich is a german buttercream, made of vanilla pudding, milk and butter. 😉
Nein in bienenstich ist keine buttercreme.. Original ist es eine luftige vanille-sahne-creme .. Am häufigsten wird aber bienenstich mit vanillepudding angeboten.
Oh guys….lemme give u an explanation. "Quark" is basically a very thick jogurt with a lot less fat (and in most cases no sugar) which is also higher in protein, which makes it takes a bit more "dry" in flavour and texture compared to a jogurt, and therefore makes it great for baking.
@@justynawisniewska1213 first of, I wasn't trying to translate but explain the characteristics of quark. Secondly, it can be translated as both quark and curd. And thirdly, it most certainly is NOT cottage cheese. Cottage cheese not only tastes much more salty but also has an entirely different consistency as it is sort of crumbly-wet. Kind of like mixing cream cheese and quark and than add little balls of cheese into the mix. Also, since you were trying to translate, cottage cheese is called Hüttenkäse in Germany and is not used for baking desserts like the one in the video.
@@Bakingmiles I know cottage cheese has a different consistency and more of a salty taste to it but it is the closest thing to quark there is that Americans would be familiar with I guess. We have pretty similar if not a lot of the same pastries and cheese types over here in Poland as you do over there so I know what you mean but yoghurt just did not sit right with me to describe quark.
OMG. I went to my local bakery and bought some bakery stuff because after work I was craving sooo much. I love your food (and travel) related vlogs/videos soooo much. Keep up the work.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Recently I am planning on doing my driving licence and after watching your German cities videos, I made my own travelling list for German cities. Thanks for the inspirations and your funny videos during the pandemic, it helped soooo much only to watch them and make plans and get motivated again. And to listen to English 😁
You need to go to the local bakerys the stuff you had was mostly industrial, and in different parts of germany you get different stuff, partly with the exact same name, so try traveling and try different bakerys with traditional recipes they are much better. Some things i saw in the video are things i love, but i would not have bought at least 5 of them, you will find much better ones in traditional bakerys, try to avoid chains
Jürgen Erhard My old MIL calls it prune cake too. Something lost I the translation. All the Germans in Bavaria and the Saxons I knew called it prune cake (but you are right, of course).
My ultimate favorite cake was a Mocha cake from a German bakery in Hollis, Queens, NY. The baker also made fabulous crullers, black & white cookies, Linzer tart cookies, rainbow cookies, oak leaves, and pure butter cookies plus rolls and bread that were fabulous. The bakery was there for over 40 years and the baker finally decided to retire. I still dream of that mocha cake.
First time watching your videos. Just had to leave an appreciation comment. You both are so fun to watch, she's so adorable and I love his sass haha I can't wait to try these on my Germany trip in May. Thank you!
Phil: "I'm more of a savory kind of guy. Rather have a burger than chocolate" Deana: "Why not both?" Haha this is such a mood! :D This was pretty amusing to watch and I love your both's personality and humor! Nussschnecke or Nusshörnchen was missing though, that's my fav but tbh i could any German pastry :^)
Looking at the Germany pastries and breads remind me of the old bakeries that once proliferated in my community (Louisville). Kuchens, strudel, pfeffernusse, springerle, breads, various sweet rolls and American goodies! The aromas would waft upward through one's nasal cavities and send you heavenward! Sadly, these places have disappeared in recent decades and I have been remorseful about that ever since. Other cities with big German communities also previously had many Germanic bakeries and sweet shops. I went to St. Louis as a kid (dragged there by my parents on vacation) and recalled all the bakeries seemingly on every street corner (same with parts of Chicago). Later, the last time I was in St. Louis, the bakeries disappeared. We lost a great German-American treasure.
In Portugal we have the Berliners but either with no filling or filled with an egg custard. They are called Bolas de Berlim (Berlin balls). They are sold everywhere and are a staple on the beaches in the summer. Lately new versions have appeared, made with locust bean flour and other fillings, like chocolate, for example.
We call them Quetschekuche where I'm from and we still make them all the time and they are great. Your favorite is the Nussecke, yep, that is my favorite as well
I worked at a bakery: 3:38 Quarkini is another name for Quarkbällchen . They usually mix the dough with Quark. Sadly most of the time they are not fresh but from the freezer. 5:30 Nussecke is also known as Sebastapol. For me a Bienenstich is a Berliner filled with vanilla and almonds on top
In Bavaria (Germany) you will eat Apfelstrudel mit a vanilla sauce, and a Berliner was named Krapfen :D the Original Berliner/Krapfen will be filled with rose hip jam
12:00 This is a Butterlochkuchen from Middle-Hessen. You do butter or "hessischer Schmand" in the hohles. It is a typical "Bauernkuchen" in Hessen. It is seldom good in a backery, I do it often myself, but my mother's Butterlochkuchen is the best 😉
I'm a huge fan of cream filled *Streuseltaler* or *Cremehörnchen* and *Quarktaschen*. As a lemon lover the best thing is a *Zitronenrolle*. I have no idea how to translate these things :D but you should try to find them!
I'm English, but grew up in Baden-Württemberg. It's such a beautiful country and watching these videos gives me Heimweh! I used to love Käse und Schinken Semmel, Brätzel and Berliner. The doughnuts here in England are just not the same ...
My favorite ones are the raspberry cake (Himbeerkuchen), the Jam filled donut (Berliner), the Chocolate Croissant (Schokoladencroissant). The Chocolate Croissant is especially good when it’s warm, all the chocolate melts on the inside and it is so good!
Growing up in NYC, we had many of these at bakeries. Bee sting cake, fresh pretzels (usually sold hot on the street from food carts), and a descendant of the Amerikaner that’s called a Black-and-White. The same as the Amerikaner but half the icing was chocolate. A favorite! Especially among kids. Strudel, of course. The snail pastry is similar to the Jewish rugelach, so those are probably related. A friend of my mother’s who was from East Germany (back in the post-WW2 era) baked wonderful almond/cocoa meringue cookies every Christmas. How we loved those! Also at Christmas my German-American mother-in-law baked pfeffernusse (sp?), “peppernuts”: little hard nuggets that tasted like dark gingerbread. Great with coffee or tea but without something to soften them, real tooth breakers!
Prune cake (many people prefer the kind made of yeast dough) is supposed to be eaten with fresh whipped cream - that's why itself doesn't contain much sugar so it might appear too sour. But in combination with a scoop of sweet whipped cream it is perfect. The sweet component may also be added with a layer of crumble on the top. Without cream or/and crumble it won't taste.
What should we try next? =)
Bread!!!
Mir fehlt die Donauwelle und die Marzipantorte 🤔 Ansonsten tolles vid 🙂 Vielleicht Metzger Spezialitäten?! Sind die Deutschen ja auch für bekannt.
Ich würde sagen Brot und/oder Brötchensorten

If you buy this cake from a bakery its often on the sour side, because they probably buy the plums from a supermarket and for transport reasons they sell plums not fully ripe. If you make this cake from your own plums at home, you pick them fully ripe and the cake becomes sweeter.
If all those things done right it's an excellent late summer cake.
I am from Germany and you both do a amazing job. I love your videos. I love hearing Deana speaking German. I love the American accent. She is so sweet with her mixed German English talking. Go on guy you're amazing!!!!!!!!
I am starving looking at all these amazing baked goods! Yummy in the tummy!!!
Norwegian here, and just had to say the long cake with cream filling is called napoleons cake up here in the north for some reason.
I've made Berliners myself once, filling the dough with vanilla cream, then frying them in oil.
They became so devine.
"I would rather have a burger than chocolate "
"Why not both?"
Your girlfriend is great! :D
Oh you guys didn't have anything with marzipan!! I love anything pretty much with it! Especially croissants 👍😁 yummy!
Well ...
... I grew Up in an Bäckerei & Konditorei ...
And i was every free Time in the Processing with My Uncle. It was a real Paradise! Even when we Kids Play in the Garden every Round i Drive by the Backstuben Windows which usually where Open in Summertime to geht a little Snack ... 😁
... When i grew Up i was allowed to Help and learned a lot of the Art of Bake really good bread and Cakes ... 😲
... Pre Christmas Time was the Best Time in the Bakery in the Year!
unfortunatly My Taste gets so conditoned today Its very hard to impress me with the Common Produkts of other Manufactures and Factorybread ist an absolute No-Go 🥴
Whenever i got enough Time i do it myself 👍
Peter M. Werner GENAU! Love your Germlisch. Mine is coming along nicely 😁
Thanks for making me miss German bakery's and the deliciousness you find in them, damn
Nix gegen meinen liebsten Zwetschgendatschi! Ihr müsst eine schlechte Bäckerei erwischt haben wenn er nicht schmeckt!
Das musste mal gesagt werden! Reine Blasphemie! Anzeige ist raus!
Die haben vergessen, da Zucker drüber zu streuen. Das macht doch erst den tollen süß- sauer Geschmack aus. Man könnte auch noch Schlagsahne drüber tun...
@@melchiorvonsternberg844 Zucker? Richtig zimtige Streusel sind das wichtigste! Ich brauch keinen extra Zucker wenn die Zwetschgen vollreif und süß geerntet wurden :)
@@mfg2324 Na ja... Es gibt da auch regionale und familiäre Unterschiede. Natürlich, kenn ich den auch mit Streuseln. Aber ich mochte schon immer mehr, die "Vollfrucht- Variante". Ausserdem mochte ich es schon immer ein wenig saurer. Bananen, am liebsten wenn sie noch ein wenig grün sind. Und auch die Zwetschgen, wenn sie noch grifffest sind und nicht schon beim Abreißen vom Zweig fast aufplatzen...
@@melchiorvonsternberg844 Das ist ja das gute am Zwetschgendatschi, der is sehr vielseitig und man kann ihn leicht selber machen - so wie man ihn am liebsten mag :)
I love a sweet my Grandma makes in autumn: it’s a little bit like the Quarkbällchen, but filled with applechunks
Aw yes, delicious! I found some bakeries in the US to be quite decent, but nothing beats German and French ones! Can't wait to have fresh sunflower seed bread rolls again soon! Superb video as always, watching you guys exploring cultures is addictive!!
Thanks so much! I'm curious to try the US cakes though, there must be some amazing ones as well. :)
should I migrate to the US and open a german bakery?
@@DeanaandPhil do is chance meet you ?
Made me miss my Grandma’s Poppyseed Kuchen that she always made when I was coming to visit 😋
You two are way cute! My favorites that you didn't get are the torten-- like hazelnuss, pineapple, frankfurter Kranz, etc. The torten are different than our cakes-- not so sweet as they use cream/buttercream and fruit and/or nuts. The cake is light but with a different texture than American cakes. The really good ones melt in your mouth-- literally!
I had prune cake all my childhood and I still love it at 23
You should try and find Dampfnudeln, though I'm not sure if you find them outside of south germany.
The Anna gibts in jeder TK Abteilung
@@florianpeter7045 mag sein aber die sind (finde ich) nicht mal halb so gut wie die frischen von Bäcker
Love you guys. Eure Videos sind so cool und ich muss sagen das ich toll finde wie gut Deana Deutsch lernt.
When I was in Germany I loved Pretzels, a lot, with my coffee, perfection :)
Agreed!
LeAny Do you Write Brezen with a P in englisch
@@holger_p Why not? It is a good combination, just you have to get used to it and that's it. :D
@@holger_p I totally agree with you :)
It also depends what day is it, :D
Some strange combination are also welcome, that's the way you try something new. And it depends from which country you're from.
Here in Croatia, for breakfast we have white coffee (Nescafe with milk), and homemade bread with butter or something to put on that amazing fresh bread from the oven. :)
@@holger_p Both of our countries have complicated history... :)
And yeah, I don't know when bakers sleep when they are at 2am at work. :D
But I don't go to the bakery, I make bread at home by myself :)
I am totally in love with prune cake!!! I am not old. You need cream to eat with and it totally depends on the quality of prunes how it tastes because normally it is not that sour. Apfelstrudel you totally need to eat that warm with a bit of vanilla ice cream. YUM!
When I was serving in the military in Germany in Bamberg I loved all the German foods and traditions.
i feel like prunecake is an older person cake.
me: i am 20 years old and it's my favorite
terminator mlt Totally! I think most Americans are biased against prune filling because of how prunes are marketed here. I’m American but part Ashkenazi Jewish, and grew up with many foods from Central and Eastern Europe. Prune filling was used in a number of traditional cookies and cakes. I think it’s yummy.
I agree! It's not so sweet, one of my favorites.
He should have had her taste it first, rate it, and THEN tell her what it was.
terminator mlt Rhubarberkuche was everywhere in Bavaria in the spring last year.
Same here. Especially with whipped cream. I like the sourness and Yeastiness of it. It's just not as disgustingly sweet as most other cakes.
I've laughed so hard, this caketesting was extremely funny.😂 The cream in Bienenstich is a german buttercream, made of vanilla pudding, milk and butter. 😉
Nein in bienenstich ist keine buttercreme.. Original ist es eine luftige vanille-sahne-creme .. Am häufigsten wird aber bienenstich mit vanillepudding angeboten.
@@Lucinda-zl8mu muss ich dir recht geben,Bienenstich ist mit Sahne
@@MrBlauundweis danke.. Ich bin vom Fach.. Gelernt ist eben gelernt 👍
Käseschinkenstangen and Bienenstich for sure! You are lucky you have German bakeries in your area. I'm jealous! 😊
Oh guys….lemme give u an explanation. "Quark" is basically a very thick jogurt with a lot less fat (and in most cases no sugar) which is also higher in protein, which makes it takes a bit more "dry" in flavour and texture compared to a jogurt, and therefore makes it great for baking.
Pretty sure it's called curd or cottage cheese. It's not yogurt.
@@justynawisniewska1213 first of, I wasn't trying to translate but explain the characteristics of quark. Secondly, it can be translated as both quark and curd. And thirdly, it most certainly is NOT cottage cheese. Cottage cheese not only tastes much more salty but also has an entirely different consistency as it is sort of crumbly-wet. Kind of like mixing cream cheese and quark and than add little balls of cheese into the mix. Also, since you were trying to translate, cottage cheese is called Hüttenkäse in Germany and is not used for baking desserts like the one in the video.
@@Bakingmiles I know cottage cheese has a different consistency and more of a salty taste to it but it is the closest thing to quark there is that Americans would be familiar with I guess. We have pretty similar if not a lot of the same pastries and cheese types over here in Poland as you do over there so I know what you mean but yoghurt just did not sit right with me to describe quark.
OMG. I went to my local bakery and bought some bakery stuff because after work I was craving sooo much.
I love your food (and travel) related vlogs/videos soooo much. Keep up the work.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Recently I am planning on doing my driving licence and after watching your German cities videos, I made my own travelling list for German cities. Thanks for the inspirations and your funny videos during the pandemic, it helped soooo much only to watch them and make plans and get motivated again. And to listen to English 😁
Ich liebe es wenn Deana sagt "Guten Morgen" oder "Quarkbällschen" und "Warmer Apfelstrudel"! Nice Video👍😊😁😍
Thanks =)
You need to go to the local bakerys the stuff you had was mostly industrial, and in different parts of germany you get different stuff, partly with the exact same name, so try traveling and try different bakerys with traditional recipes they are much better.
Some things i saw in the video are things i love, but i would not have bought at least 5 of them, you will find much better ones in traditional bakerys, try to avoid chains
Thats it.
Hi, I found your channel just recently. I love it! You both are so funny.
My favorite german bakery things are Nussecke and Granatsplitter. 😁
Da habt ihr ja ein umfangreiches Programm vorgenommen! Krasser Zuckerschock ;-)
Haha i love how she’s super excited til the end. There’s nothing like too much cake xD
Prune cake? Nope. Prunes are dried plums. Plum cake. Or Zwetschge (subspecies of plums, according to WP).
Jürgen Erhard My old MIL calls it prune cake too. Something lost I the translation. All the Germans in Bavaria and the Saxons I knew called it prune cake (but you are right, of course).
Prune cake is best eaten when it s still a bit warm and with whipped cream! You gonna love that!
omg you guys are soo awesome! When deana said " I spit on you" i cracked up :) I need some german pastries in my life!
My ultimate favorite cake was a Mocha cake from a German bakery in Hollis, Queens, NY. The baker also made fabulous crullers, black & white cookies, Linzer tart cookies, rainbow cookies, oak leaves, and pure butter cookies plus rolls and bread that were fabulous. The bakery was there for over 40 years and the baker finally decided to retire. I still dream of that mocha cake.
You both are so entertaining and interesting to watch, thank you for showing us all these German pastry goodies😍😍
Nach der Bäckerei dann die Konditorei?
Oder gibt es das Video schon?
You're so sweet together. It was fun to watch. Thank you.
Thank you! 😛
sadly you haven't the possibility to try Rhabarberkuchen with merengue topping
best stuff there is. Last time I was back in DE I had to buy 2 of those everyday...
Merengue war mir bisher nur als Tanz bekannt. Ist das so ähnlich wie Windbäckerei?
Regina Tauchner er meint „Meringue“, bei uns als Baiser bekannt bzw Eischnee. Heißt in franz. aber nicht so, da das Verb „baiser qn“ sehr vulgär ist 😉
@@Lily-yd8ho Danke für deine Antwort! 😊

"It's just dough with sugar"

First time watching your videos. Just had to leave an appreciation comment. You both are so fun to watch, she's so adorable and I love his sass haha
I can't wait to try these on my Germany trip in May. Thank you!
Wie sehr ich einfach eine deutsche Bäckerei vermisse 😫🤤 tolles Video! greetings from the states 😊
Bist du im knast oder was😂😂
Hello how are you doing
Phiiiiil, Du hast keine Donauwelle probiert... Omg!!! Tolles Video, ich liebe Euch. Lg, Anna :)
Phil: "I'm more of a savory kind of guy. Rather have a burger than chocolate"
Deana: "Why not both?" Haha this is such a mood! :D
This was pretty amusing to watch and I love your both's personality and humor! Nussschnecke or Nusshörnchen was missing though, that's my fav but tbh i could any German pastry :^)
fey fey mich auch! Me too!
Looking at the Germany pastries and breads remind me of the old bakeries that once proliferated in my community (Louisville). Kuchens, strudel, pfeffernusse, springerle, breads, various sweet rolls and American goodies! The aromas would waft upward through one's nasal cavities and send you heavenward! Sadly, these places have disappeared in recent decades and I have been remorseful about that ever since. Other cities with big German communities also previously had many Germanic bakeries and sweet shops. I went to St. Louis as a kid (dragged there by my parents on vacation) and recalled all the bakeries seemingly on every street corner (same with parts of Chicago). Later, the last time I was in St. Louis, the bakeries disappeared. We lost a great German-American treasure.
In Portugal we have the Berliners but either with no filling or filled with an egg custard. They are called Bolas de Berlim (Berlin balls). They are sold everywhere and are a staple on the beaches in the summer. Lately new versions have appeared, made with locust bean flour and other fillings, like chocolate, for example.
I enjoy watching people eat delicious food.
We call them Quetschekuche where I'm from and we still make them all the time and they are great.
Your favorite is the Nussecke, yep, that is my favorite as well
i can hear the saarländer i think.
@@mausewix Westpfalz
@Erik Linnebach ei allemohl.
Love your guys' chemistry.
Loove Bienenstich.
Bienenstich Leiber. JA!
Viele viele yums. Lecker to the max. 😋
Lmao! That look after she said nuts was priceless! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
I worked at a bakery: 3:38 Quarkini is another name for Quarkbällchen . They usually mix the dough with Quark. Sadly most of the time they are not fresh but from the freezer. 5:30 Nussecke is also known as Sebastapol. For me a Bienenstich is a Berliner filled with vanilla and almonds on top
Käsebrotchen! Und Laugencroissant! My favorite savoury baked goods. Have to try this Bienenstich though!
I like the hearty stuff, too! =) (Phil)
Ich mag auch keine Rosinen in dem Apfelstrudel 😂 Bienenstich 😍
You missed the "Butterkuchen"
I am a German living in the states. miss all the item you just ate! Bienenstich favorite , have to make myself
Looks like she really really happy with what she's tasting today. Dream Come true for her.
You missed Zitronenkuchen (Lemoncake); totaly need to get one of those everytime they sell it on some events.
I love pretzels!!! I prefer the berliner with the crystal sugar. I went every weekend to buy a couple when I was pregnant.
Jennifer Sheldon pretzel with sugar? Sounds weird
Yes, new year you can buy it everywhere
In Bavaria (Germany) you will eat Apfelstrudel mit a vanilla sauce, and a Berliner was named Krapfen :D the Original Berliner/Krapfen will be filled with rose hip jam
Beim Apfelstrudel ist es doch eine Creme Anglaise
Iii
..and both are from Austria!
12:00 This is a Butterlochkuchen from Middle-Hessen. You do butter or "hessischer Schmand" in the hohles. It is a typical "Bauernkuchen" in Hessen. It is seldom good in a backery, I do it often myself, but my mother's Butterlochkuchen is the best 😉
Wow! So many baked goodies - they look so delicious. Will try and find recipes to make them.
16:07
"I love anything with nuts in it." + nice look from Phil.
We call the Bienenstich without cream Hummelbiss🤣
I'm a huge fan of cream filled *Streuseltaler* or *Cremehörnchen* and *Quarktaschen*. As a lemon lover the best thing is a *Zitronenrolle*. I have no idea how to translate these things :D but you should try to find them!
I'm English, but grew up in Baden-Württemberg. It's such a beautiful country and watching these videos gives me Heimweh! I used to love Käse und Schinken Semmel, Brätzel and Berliner. The doughnuts here in England are just not the same ...
My favorite ones are the raspberry cake (Himbeerkuchen), the Jam filled donut (Berliner), the Chocolate Croissant (Schokoladencroissant). The Chocolate Croissant is especially good when it’s warm, all the chocolate melts on the inside and it is so good!
I was staring at the bienenstich this whole video!! my favorite cake ever
Say BACK-WAREN three times and the French surrender! XD XD XD
Ahhh ... try not to throw up challenge...ahh lol I´m dying^^
I almost lost ;)
Growing up in NYC, we had many of these at bakeries. Bee sting cake, fresh pretzels (usually sold hot on the street from food carts), and a descendant of the Amerikaner that’s called a Black-and-White. The same as the Amerikaner but half the icing was chocolate. A favorite! Especially among kids. Strudel, of course. The snail pastry is similar to the Jewish rugelach, so those are probably related. A friend of my mother’s who was from East Germany (back in the post-WW2 era) baked wonderful almond/cocoa meringue cookies every Christmas. How we loved those! Also at Christmas my German-American mother-in-law baked pfeffernusse (sp?), “peppernuts”: little hard nuggets that tasted like dark gingerbread. Great with coffee or tea but without something to soften them, real tooth breakers!
Prune cake (many people prefer the kind made of yeast dough) is supposed to be eaten with fresh whipped cream - that's why itself doesn't contain much sugar so it might appear too sour. But in combination with a scoop of sweet whipped cream it is perfect. The sweet component may also be added with a layer of crumble on the top. Without cream or/and crumble it won't taste.
