Hope you enjoyed the video! Thank you so much for watching I appreciate you and you matter ✨
Just putting it out here that your channel is basically an advertizement for Germany lol, probably the best "Life-in-Germany" channel there is from an expat's perspective, you deserve more subs and likes
It’s more of a normal German channel and not those typical German channels were they only cover the things from a POV of a tourist.
U want to know the most popular item?
It's called "das da"
So basically we don't know the name of every item at every baker, because they all have their own names and not always signs, so we just point and say "that one"
It is funny that the food stuffs you name are clearly region dependent. Because in Hamburg there is no bakery without Franzbrötchen, Fischbrötchen and Matjes have to be named and tea is alot more important, but you qould be hard pressed to find a good Leberkäse
I've spent 12 years in Germany. This country definitely has the best bakeries AND supermarkets I've ever seen. 👌👌👌 The Germans have no idea how lucky they are.
The German bakeries do look very good but Switzerland and France have the Germans beaten there.
@@Superbustr Yeah.... I'm not sure about that. I've been to too many German bakeries to believe these bakeries could be rivalled by other countries...
Yes. We are. But if you on a Trip to Skandinavien. Look in danish bakeries and their supermarktets. 110%.👍🇩🇪🇩🇰
What about Austria?
@@Superbustrno.
I lived in Germany for three years and I absolutely loved the food. The street food was incredible as were the restaurants. That was over thirty years ago and I still miss it.
hope you come again. :)
😮
As a german i have to say that this is probably the best breakdown of german food i have seen
Noi dui hennd Flädlesupp vergessa ond moinad Mauldascha senn "slavic dumplings"...des godd edda!
👍🏻♥️
Just wanting to leave a bit of knowledge here since I found your channel today and find your videos very entertaining. The item you are showing at min 7:34 are actually not Haribo chips. Haribo has nothing to do with the so called Pom Bären as they were invented from a completely different company. Might be a bit nit picky from me but I just wanted to mention it. Anyway great video.
Flammkuchen is common in Baden and Pfalz too. This are the areas close to Alsace. So the same with Schlachtplatte. Alsace and Saarland often changed the owner in the past. Sometime they belong to France and some time to Germany
1:15
_"And can easily disappoint you if you get the wrong one."_
I know, right? I don't know why they even _make_ the ones with chocolate! The raisin ones are clearly superior in every way at all times!
Mmhh, juicy~
I've been watching your content now for a few weeks and can't tell you how much I am enjoying your videos. You bring up a lot of topics that are not always noticed. Thank you for all of the work that you are doing and putting into these. Wishing you wonderful journeys.
Flammkuchen is a specialty from Elsass, Lothringen, Saarland, Pfalz und Baden. So its not french nor german its both
dumplings exist all around the world, it doesn't really make Maultaschen slavic in any way ^^;
We have pick up and toffifi in the UK too and they're some of my favourite sweet snacks- they're pretty great!
I love your videos. Seeing Trier has made me so homesick but I am happy to see it in your videos. Thank you!!! I miss it dearly and have not been home in a very long time. I have enjoyed seeing the market place and how much it has changed. Your christmas market video also brought back alot of memories and I am able to show my child. Thank you again and look forward to more. 💜
I share your feelings. I miss my German Home and culture too! Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦
Where the "Flammkuchen" originate from, depends in which timeframe you place it 😅😅😅
In fact it is a speciallity of the regions in the Alsace/Elsaß and the Saarland and since the German - Frenc treaty regulates that those Germans are in the SENSE OF CULTURE are both also FRENCH and GERMANIC it really things form these areas have no clear provenience in the meaning of Nationality
Croissants are from Austria, not France :-) The general term for that kind of pasty in France is even "Viennoiserie." Sorry for being pedantic - I just think it's interesting and it's a misconception I had for a long time myself.
French croissant and austrian croissant are not the same 😅
Kroissanten😅😅😅
A most delightful video. Thank you!
Very good video, I love how accurate it is and how it covers a wide variety of food.
Just one thing: when you showed the Erdnussbutter that had bad texture, on the package it said Erdnussmus - and that might be the clue as to why. Mus is very different from butter and has a more porridgey, purée kind of texture. It's not designed to be spread.
Erdnuss- oder Mandelmus ist etwas völlig anderes als Erdnussbutter 🥜!
A video that says "tea isnt popular in germany" is automatically disqualified from being deemed accurate.
Amazing content, thank you!
7:18 when u searching the Namehistory of Dickmann´s u will see and understand why they have to change their name to this. Dickman´s are perfekt an Delicious in a Bun.
Erika: "Tea is not that popular."
East Frisians: "Hold my tea!"
Tee ostfriesische Art: Schwarzer Assam mit 1 Stück 'Kluntje' und einem Schuß Milch, und wichtig dann, bloß nicht umrühren 😋🫖!!
Well done overview!
Great videos Erika, you have a talent🎉
You showed a lot of stuff :) Glad you like it in germany.
Nice!!! Very helpful
Oh my god i once ate the ritter sport chocolate that someone got me from germany. I took a picture of the name so i could buy it again but lost the pic when i switched phones. Now i find them in this video!! THANK YOU ERIKA. It has been 3 years since ive been searching for that chocolate

Great video❤
Amazing Video !
Love Germany From Tunisia 🇹🇳❤️🇩🇪
My husband is German (from Cologne) and so much of this food looks familiar. I haven't been back to Germany since before I found out I was gluten intolerant. I think I would struggle now with the sheer amount of food that contains gluten, but the best thing I remember from my gluten days was a thing called Kirschplunderteilchen - a delicious pastry with cherries, custard and glace icing over it.
Hello, your videos are true, honest and not boring. Not like all those culture shock videos because of stuff that's just different and a little weird at times. Good to know at best but no dramatic culture shocks.🐸
excellent video here
Currywurst…….. love it!
I’m back in September and can’t wait for it again!!!!
Yay for the restaurant in the end. I really enjoy this video. Ich liebe dich 👍🏻 I sub to you.
Just came across this, and had to say, nice video!
About the thing that looks like parmesan cheese on the spaghetti Icecream: It's rasped white chocolate usually.
In regards to the peanut butter: you'd be best of getting calvé pindakaas from the Netherlands. Up until now I have not found good peanut butter anywhere else in the world.
German Fastfood is the little trailer at the next corner who went Currywurst, Bratwurst, Pommes or who went Döner or Pizza Slice and no Mcdonalds or Burger King
So fun to see it from an expats perspective, keep up the fun work!
amazing!
7:16 Well we once had a different name for it...But I rather not mention it here :D
It’s hard to believe in a country like Germany with such culturally diverse cuisine Options they still have big face food chains. Personally after experiencing the amazing tasting food, I would never go to a mcds or similar when in this part of the world
Depends how long you're there and also your budget. McDonalds is comfort food for some and depending on where you come from, if you've been there for a couple of weeks you might just crave "stupid food".
I lived in Japan for a year and I love Ramen, Sushi, Bento and all that. But every couple of months I really needed the trash food. There was an all you can eat pizza place in Kyoto that must have hated me, whenever I was there. Pizza wasn't even good but I NEEDED it. And also sometimes prices is just an important consideration. McDonalds and Burger King have some very cheap items on the menu. I mostly cooked my own food because that was the cheapest option but if I could have afforded it I would have loved to eat out every evening.
We have a million decent burger restaurants in Germany but a lot of them are pricey (relatively speaking, for germans at least). E.g. a lot of burger joints will price their burgers around 10€ and if you're hungry you'll want fries or some variation on that. If you do a "full meal" with a drink and maybe some shared extra and including tipping, you'll easily be short 20€ per person afterwards. That really isn't something you'll do everyday for lunch and dinner.
As a tourist if you're going for lunch deals during work days, where you skip the drinks, you can get away with 10€-ish most places.
And another factor is simply where you're actually be in Germany. Berlin and most other bigger cities just has so many options but even in Ruhrgebiet with it's many cities and high population you'll quickly run out of "things to try" unless you fancy hopping on a train to get to another city everytime you're hungry and you don't feel like cooking.
Like... reality just is different. Sure, when you're a tourist and you're only in Germany for like a week, don't go to McDonalds etc. Get a Döner, eat Vietnamese food, eat whatever local specialities, try out some arab cuisine etc.
@paulszki no offense but that is kind of how addiction works, if you eat less and less fast food you will stop craving it
Back in England now, I really miss the poppy seed strudel cake, which is a real pain to make at home (grinding poppy seeds is not fun), but was really cheap in Berlin. In the UK it's very hard to get and bloody expensive if you can find it.
Ok I never made poppy seed cake on my own, but I did look it up. None of the recipes contained crushing the seeds, what exactly do u mean by that?.😮❤
@@lisal.1114there are recipes which acquire crushed (better grinded/squeezed) poppy seeds for example poppy seed strudel.
i fell in love with the food was stationed in Germany in the 70s
Very good video
Maultaschen und Schwartzwälder kirschtorte !!!!! My family is from Black forest, i just love that food ! (and Apfel zahn hering)
Great video just want to add please if possible ask a German for a recommended bakery :) There’re so many so of course there are huge quality differences.
Even after 30+ years living in the US I miss the food from Germany . I was able to find a lot of German products in NJ and PA but since I moved to Michigan I can hardly find any products from home . Brot und Brötchen is what I miss the most and Pretzels over here aren’t even close to a good German Laugenbrezel.
I so need to go to Germany again after watching your video, the imbiss was my go to when there
Krapfen/Berliner are seasonal, they're not sold in summer. Usually you get them between October and April.
Naaa only in some regions of Germany (I would guess the "carnival" enthusiastic regions). But in many parts of Germany, e.g. northern Germany you get them every time of the year.
Some statements and assumptions here were not quite right. But for me this makes it a quite authentic insight in your view. And I really love the dry humor.
funny and correct video 😍😂
the best peanutbutter in germany you find in asian/african stores its called "PCD ERDNUSSBUTTER 500G" with big PANDA KAAS on it :)
When I'm older, I will devour a savory, buttery, soft pretzel from one of these places. I also will enjoy their pastries, AND a sachertorte which I think is Austrian or something but either way it's a childhood favorite of mine.
My favorite German dish is doner kebab and my favorite English dish is chicken tikka masala
Im moving to Deutschland next year . Im ecxiiiited to have their food
Alsace and Lorraine are also known as Elsaß und Lothringen.
The Region was german for centuries until the napoleonic wars, then recaptured in the Franco-German War of 1871 and then permanently given over to France as Reparation in the Treaty of Versailles.
So yeah... saying that the Region is the most german region of france is a bit of an understatement.
We have many types of cheese aswell.
Sorry, but you are spreading big city stereotypes of ONE region in Germany. Tea for example is a big thing in northern Germany. The Frisian Tea Culture is famous.
I love bread 🥖 too, especially Croissant 🥐 and pizza 🍕.
Recognised Trier just from the first street sign..😮😊
You will find bread in every city (worldwide, I know😂). But: here, also Austria and Swiss, you find bread made of rye. And that's a huge difference.
Those pastries are often eaten with Coffee, in my region we call them "kaffeestückchen" a word by word translation would be Coffee pieces or bits ^^
Yea besides our well known alcohol problem we are also addicted to caffeine
@@irgendeinname9256how do most Germans like their coffee? Espresso, black, one cream one sugar or sweeter?
In Canada, it is normal a lot of working folks who are sugar conscious just get black, but the way normal parents or labourers who need the sugar order a "double double" (for two sugars, two creams) made famous by the Tim Hortons' chain
@@p_roduct9211 it's very individual, I personally prefer it with some milk and no sugar
Didnt know such thing as puddingbrezel existed 😳🤯🤤
aaaaaw and the Japanese ritter sport 😍 sooooo cuuuuute!!! 🌸
the puddingbrezel is the best 😋
It's part of the pastry group "Plunderteilchen". Sweet flaky pastry with custard in the center, optional with fruits and frosting on top.
@@helloerika IT LOOKS AMAZING
Ok, I just subscribed. I get a feeling that you really like Peanut Butter 🤣😁
10:01 - This Black Forest cake itself would probably worth the trip.
mmmmm all are mouth watering and look yummy
actually Flammkuchen is a german & french speciality
Alsace was german back in the day. And Austria as well, if we say the holy roman empire, which wasn't a nation but german was the main language in all of its regions, was to be "germany" back then. Germany as a nation didn't exist throughout most of history :D
5:35 Kiba is the best thing you can drink, I swear to god!!
Also me -a german- watching this as if I’m a tourist 😂
Hello Erika, ich komme aus Bayern, Was solls das Essen wir halt ;-) Schöne Zeit bei uns
Nice❤
Pindakas, its a very nice Not overly sweet Peanut Butter you get in the Afro-Asian Stores from the netherlands. These Shops also have great exotic vegetables 😁
German bread is definitely the best. But as as a swede now living in Germany I like the swedish supermarkets more. More to choose from. More variety from different parts of the world and also much cheaper vegetarian food. I also like the swedish pastries and cookies, tarts and so on more than the german onces. But bread and also meat and veggies are top class in germany.
Have you come across Bavarian mustard or cheese for the pretzels?!
Bakeries in germany looks so delicious you can only find that bread in a 5 star restaurant here in philippines. Basic bakeries here are not that good.
Problem in Germany, is, that coffee is drunken often, but to find places which have good coffee is actually quite hard, things change though! The rest is pretty spot on, btw. re Döner, the grilled meat existed, but a turkish german immigrant invented the modern Döner in Berlin in the 1960s by putting the meat with salad into a grilled bread roll!
Regarding bakeries, I think there is a huge difference between northern and southern Germany. For example "Käse/Laugen/Speck-Seele" is something you won't get in Hamburg or in Bremen...this stuff you only get in Swaibia!
1:00 Its called Bretzel or Brezdga, not Pretzel!!!!! And Pretzelbread sounds really disgusting to my swaibian ears, even "Laugenbrötchen" sounds strange to me, these are called "Laugaweggla" or "Laugasemml" Herrgoddsaggramentnommoldahanna, vom'ra Leberkäs emmra Laugasemml wellad mer goredd schwätza!
4:53 Now I want Kebap for lunch, and congrats you didn't call Döner Kebap a sandwich! Regarding drinks, juice and sparkling water called "Schorle" is also very popular.
7:57 (Jetz missad mer schwätza!) We have to talk about Spätzle now, because making the dough is an art by itself and simply buying them in a supermarket and add cheese to them is way too easy. Add roasted oninons (tons of them) and lots of salt, then you're good! This is the swaibian national dish, so everyone who serves them outside of Swaibia has to be called a "hondsdommer, nei'gsch'meggder Doigaff" or a fraud in English!
8:19 Mir missad nommol schwätza! (We need to talk again!): I can understand, why you recommend Maultaschen to people with slavic roots because of Pilmeni, Wareniki and so on. But Maultaschen (also swaibian!) come from the middleages. During the fasting period, which is around Easter people weren't allowed to eat meat, but they did. They just put their meat inside some dough to "hide" it infront of the eyes of their pastor or the Lord himself. In Swaibia there is another name for Maultaschen, they're called "Herrgoddsb'scheißerle", because of their history. Maultaschen are SWAIBAIN, not slavic! (Hoasch mi?) One thing you haven't mentioned is Flädlesupp, a soup made from left over pancakes which are cut into slices and added into broth, I loved that stuff, when I was child!
So if you're going to visit Germany, come to the south! You might struggle a bit with our dialect, but we have good food, lots of beer and other stuff that makes life good!
I love how Döner shops almost always use the same exact paper wraps. You just can't beat a good Kebab from your favourite spot. Also don't look up what Dickamann's Schokoküsse used to be named.
Aha! I know what they used to be called but I'm not telling
because they all use the same Großhandel. They offer you everything you need to run a Dönerladen.
Du meinst Negerküsse👄 oder Mohrenköpfe😍?! Egal wie sie heißen, sie sind köstlich😋!
Love him or hate him, but yogurt ice cream has to be the best ice cream flavour out there.
Nice video. Fyi in Asian stores you will find awesome peanut butter :)
like your white, sleeveless shirt, as it looks like french style to me
5:20 O café tem um efeito mais forte sobre você de manhã. Ele lhe dá mais energia, e para quem gosta de pensar é ótimo, para quem faz trabalho pesado é excelentes. 😊😊😊
Opa mais um brasileiro aqui??
One specialty most tourists leave unnoticed is Leberkäsebrötchen, also known as LKW. It is basically a German original hamburger, but it was invented several 100 years ago. The patty is made out of a kind of sausage meat and the bun is a very soft Milchbrötchen. While a hamburger thrives from it´s various toppings, the LWK gets its flavour from rhe gooeyness of the sausage patty and the sweet softness of the roll and a little bit of ketchup or mustard on top. Not all LWKs are created equal, but if you are in Southern Germany and ask your host where to find the best LKW in town (they are usually sold in some bakeries and butcheries), I am sure he will give you a recommendation..
Who the heck puts Leberkäs on a Michlbrötchen??? That's grounds for excommunication! *lol* Here in Bavaria, we use regular Semmeln.
@@veladarney also who puts ketchup and Mustard? You put Süßersenf and gib him
Hamburger is actually a german invention lol
LEBERKÄS-WEGGA!
@@kilih.4525 ketchup senf hat schon was, in salzburg jeden abend an der tanke
Uh, speaking of croissants - you should try "Franzbrötchen" which are very common in north west germany (especially Hamburg).
I love Franzbrötchen.
Tho if not in North Germany u can get them in Kaufland wich is not the most Authentic but it helps the craving since i lived there for 2 years (bad Ppl i had to deal with but franzbrötchen were bomb!)😊
1:01 Laugenecke beste
The Elsas is an interesting region. It started italian, switched to German, then to French, switched Back to Germany, just to switch Back to France after the First World War. Then it switched to Germany again, only to switch back to France, where it is today.
The Mettbrötchen is a bit of clichée, but from a bakery it tastes pretty nice. There is a special cake, the Grillasch Cake, but there are not many bakerys that sell it. It is a cake, that is not baked but frozen.
Something not from a bakery is Himmel und Ääd, so mashed potatos and mashed apples with a fried sausage made out of blood. It sounds horrible but tastes quite nice (not the sausage part, but there are a lot of people, who like it)
dont forget the legendary leberkaesebroetchen which is a sign of the friendship between germany and austria :)
Its in general kinda hard to say whats really german and whats not i would consider the whole DACH region as germanish culture. the same i would say for parts of france , poland , czech , alpen region and also netherlands , belgium and danish. its a thing about history and goverments but overall there isnt ONE german culture. its more likely 1000s of kingdoms combined into countrys xD
anyways thank you so much for promoting my roots ! I aint live anymore in germany but still i do miss the cuisine sometimes :D Especially authentic german kebab
there is also Fleischkäse, which is really popular in south-west germany, tastes similar, really good one. Currywurst and Döner is really different in any place u can visit.
"Leberkäse" or "Fleischkäse" are two words for the same thing. But please, "Brötchen" is a word used only from people who aren't native to the south. It's called Leberkäs-WEGGA or simply LKW

Just for you to know if you live in germany ans youre an american , you have always the possibility to visit one of the military outpost of america in germany. They normally have american stored goods to buy for natives, as example as one of them is rammstein the biggest one, there are many american stores where you would easily get your american pb
Best Asia Markets of Europa are in Germany. And there you get very good peanut butter. not too sweet
Hmmm my favorite German hidden dish is the curry-taco.
It’s a currywurst taco hybrid and it tastes exactly how you’d imagine it.
It sounds amazing haha
every country has it's own signature food and Schnitzel is made usually from a pork chop
In Germany sausages and potatoes are a staple like a burger and fries is in the US
there are in every bakery Berliner to find. there are standard
a challenge for healthier food.mostly mouth watering snacks all over like NYC
if you are still looking for peanutbutter, try asian supermarkets.
Germany is in my heart❤❤ food.view and other
How about the Thueringer Bratwurst?

The doner kebabs in Germany are awesome! I remember getting one that I needed two hands to hold for 4 Euro!

Maultaschen in no way are Slavic. They are Swabian. Southwest Germany. Baden-Wurttemberg is the state and Maultaschen is its' national dish.
Same regional origin as the slavic ones, though. Since, you know, medieval times had little seperation between peoples.
She didn’t say that Maultaschen were of Slavic descent. She said if some of the viewers were of Slavic descent, they would like Maultaschen.
@@Suedetussyshe said that they’re slavic directly after saying what you stated in your comment

Flammkuchen is basicly german. Elassas was for the most part of its history german.
