Pfannkuchen are called "Berliners" in other parts of Germany, because the "original" name was "Berliner Pfannkuchen", since they were fried in huge pans (Pfanne), hence the name. Problem is, that the rest of Germany dropped the "Pfannkuchen" part of the name and Berliners never used the "Berliner" Part of the name. So we call them Pfannkuchen and the rest of Germany Pfannkuchen (or Krapfen etc). Fun fact, what the rest of Germany call "Pfannkuchen" (a thin, crepes like pastry) is called Eierkucheni in Berlin
Off topic but fun fact as well: a puff-pastry with a filling of vanilla custard and fruit is called "Wiener bröd" in Denmark, "Wiener Brot" in Flensburg and "Kopenhagener" or "Plunder" in the rest of the German speaking world, including Vienna.
As a Berliner I'm sorry to say that Curry36 is just a tourist trap and does not resemble an original Currywurst. It's way too fruity in comparison to a proper Currywurst sauce. The funny thing is that right across the street from where they are at Zoologischer Garten you will find the supermarket Ullrich which serves an original Berlin Currywurst.
And Currywurst and Döner are pan-German, not really regional. Buletten are a real thing. My grandmother would use day old rolls (“Schrippen”) in the Buletten. If you were poor, you would stretch the meat more and more with the rolls until it barely had any meat. At that point you would call them “Schrippe im eigenen Saft,” or “rolls in their own sauce.”😂
Thanks for sharing! We were told that the Curry36 was one of the top "go-to" places for Currywurst with locals. It seems everyone has their favorite spot. We had no idea bout the orginal currywurst in the supermarket! Next time we definitely will give it a try. :)
I'll not call it a trap, but its berlins most known currywurst takeaway. I will not say its the best, but I think its ok...hard to say how have the best one. There are a lot of unknown spaces with a quite of good currywursts.
Nice that you get a Bulette from someone private. There different varieties of recipes for these kind of meatballs and Fassbrause is also my favorite drink when I'm at home to visit my family and friends. Really nice is also a Berliner Weisse mit Schuss, an typical beer from Berlin mixed with a flavor, especially in summertime a wonderful drink to enjoy.
AFAIK the story actually goes that Herta Heuwer got some curry powder from the british soldiers stationed in Berlin, not the ketchup, and then she ended up inveting the curry wurst. Actually a good curry sauce is quite easy to make, and it is not just ketchup with curry powder. I'd like to share an amazing recipe i use myself - all you need is: 2 tablespoons curry powder 1/8 L aceto balsamico 250 mL sieved tomato (1 can) 2 tablespoons applesauce (you can add more if you like it a little bit more sweet) Just put the curry powder in a frying pan, heat it up and roast the powder until it starts smelling a lot like curry. You want those essential oils from the curry powder to set free, then you deglaze the powder with the aceto balsamico, let is boil for a little while until it starts to become a paste. Next you simply add the tomato purée and the applesauce and you let that cook to evaporate some water, keep stiring until it has the consistency you like. You could add some tomato paste to your liking if you want the consistency less fluid. Also feel free to add different spices like garlic, smoked paprika or even some herbs... your culinary imagination is the limit.
Yeayy, happy you went to my favourite "Nefis Gemüse Kebap". Their fantastic sauces, the potatoes, roasted vegetables, feta and the freshly squeezed lemon on top - It's the love they put in every single Döner they sell. Glad you all enjoyed it!
The soft texture of the "Bulette" or "Frikadelle" comes from that mix of chopped/ground/minced beef and chopped beef. If you buy "half and half" ground meat it will contain 50% pork. When you want pure ground beef it is called mainly "Beefhack" at the butchers. Lots of people will say that the best mix for ground meat German dishes contains a quarter of pork, pure beef makes them too dry. So you buy a portion of "Beefhack" and an equal portion of "gemischtes Hack, halb und halb" and have what you need. Do you know about "Falscher Hase"? That is a huge meatloaf that is baked in the oven with bits and pieces of fat, smoked bacon stuck in it. Venison is a very dry and lean meat so at least in former days pieces of bacon were stuck into it to prevent it from drying up during cooking. The "fake hare" looks a little like an expensive dish from venison, hence that name.
Concerning Currywurst the Ruhrpott and Berlin are tradtionally fighting over who invented the Currywurst and who does the best.. both have splendid ones. Bouletten (imo deriving from French) are famous everywhere in GErmany with different names. Berliners (Pfannkuchen) are available here in Bonn as well with different sugar variations. Those fancy ones of course are a Berlin thing, BUT in Munich - i think around Fashing - some bakeries have a huge interesting variety with all kinds of flavors, though not that fancy, but still yummy and something for a change. For me typical dishes from that aerea and not well known anymore are Eier in Senfsauce for instance, and Königsberger Klopse. Two dishes that might be found elswhere, but i happen to these done in Berlin the best, if not the ones my greatgranny did way back, who came from Stettin like my mum (now Poland) and cooked more Stettin/Berlin style cuisine when i was kiddo. Her very simple Kartoffelpuffer were legendary. Just with Apfelmus and or Zucker und Zimt... I can see them from Willa's height perspective as a staple on the kitchen table... inaccessable for me a small kid.. but i missed out on asking for all the recepies and my mum was not the cooking type.. so the recepy is gone... Eier in Senfsauce though are easy to do... Königsberger (my dad was born in Königsberg) Klopse are more tricky. Have fun and enjoy. PS. if you go east a few sites are not to be missed like Lutherstadt Wittenberg where Martin Luther "published" his thesis back in the 16th. century, Leipzig and Dresden, Görlitz , Bautzen, Meißen, Weimer and Erfut to name a few....
Omg you people just make me hungry every time! 😂 Tip: In English, you say "urn" "girl" "pearl" "hurl" "hurt" You don't say "oorn" "goorl" "poorl" "hoorl" "hoort" Now say "Döner" like you say the "u" sound in girl, pearl, urn etc. 👍🏻 Now you have Döner, and not Doonah😉 Love your family, you're so adventurous, and sweet❤
Currywurst is a controversal topic here in Germany. In Berlin they pour Ketchup over the sausage. Which I don't like that much. I live in the South-West at the German-French boarder, and here Currywurst is served in a dark brown Curry based sauce or gravy - which I find is the best way to eat it 🙂
It's amusing that national favourite foods are so dependent on foreign influences. Germany has currywurst and doner kebabs, the USA loves Tex-Mex and in Britain, despite fish & chips being the national dish, it's chicken tikka marsala curry that is the most popular.
I used to adore eating cream cakes and doughnuts in Germany. Going to a Konditorei on a Sunday afternoon was a key part of my week. Ten years ago, however, I was quite overweight and diagnosed with Type II diabetes. I stopped eating sugar, cakes, biscuits, crepes, waffles and so on. You can't avoid a certain amount of hidden sugar in all kinds of foods, including potatoes, bread, and of course fruit, but at least it's not the same amount as, for example, in a frosted Berliner. Last year my diet-controlled diabetes was brought into remission, so all the effort has paid off. I still eat a not-too-sweet cake occasionally. A Portuguese custard tart is a favourite (Pastel de Nata), but I would always prefer eating something savoury, like Currywurst or a kebab.
It's about Buletten, every family in Germany makes them differently. Some just with egg, salt and pepper. Some like it how in the video. For me it's egg, salt, pepper, mustard, onions and lots of fresh parsley... and if I have an old Brötchen, it goes in too :) Peace&Love:)
What a fun video ! I am excited that you were able to try home made foods too. You’ll never get a boulette like this in a restaurant. The fluffy texture comes from using the soaked Brötchen. When you use bread crumbs it will make a much firmer texture. The potatoe salad also looked much like the one my family here in Berlin makes ( with apples , pickles and no mayonnaise). I also like that you tried fassbrause. Unfortunately you’ll not get the original fassbrause in other parts of Germany I think.
I just decided I have to go to Berlin some time soon and visit some tourists spots. I don't think I ever did. Even though I only live an hour away! And eat some Currywurst of course.
the yellow sauce at the döner is for sure a safran sauce. its quite common to have it in many citys. sometimes its a very light currysauce. about the currywurst, it might be inventet in berlin and curry36 makes for sure a really good one, but you will find much better currywurst in other citys. the best ones you get usually in spots that are not that very known. greetings
Oh There were so many delicious things you showed there. Bulletten/Frikadellen, Krapfen/Pfannkuchen/Berliner, Bienenstich und ein guter Kartoffelsalat. All delicious things that you know as "gute alte Hausmannskost". And yes, the best Currywurst is in Berlin. And i love to eat Döner Kebab or a Kebab Rolle.
If you like Fassbrause - maybe try Almdudler that originates in Austria (and is their most popular soft drink), too. It is available in supermarkets in Bavaria, too. It is a lemonade made with herbs.
It's so funny, that donuts, bread rolls and meat balls have different names depending on which German region you are in (Currywurst and Döner are called the same everywhere but taste somewhat differently).
i noticed the mcdonalds sign in the background, when you were talking about the currywurst. did you have the chance and try (also compare) german vs american mcdonalds, burger king and subway [i name those 3 in particular because they are hands down the most common american fast food brands that you can find in germany] and if so: whats your take on that? if not, maybe its an idea for a future video? but when it comes to currywurst vs döner, i personally prefer the döner most of the time as well. speaking of - the yellow sauce was most likely cocktailsauce
Great idea! I was in a McDonalds in Los Angeles and it was horrible. The meat was much much toooo salty, the ketchup much to sweat. I could not eat it. In'n'out was good and Denny's was fantastic. After the McDonalds experience I did not dare to go to Burger King or Subway.
Awesome you were able to taste different iconic Berlin foods! Btw, the smaller Pfannkuchen didn't surprise me at all. When I make Pfannkuchen at home, I usually make small ones, because it's easier to deep-fry them correctly when they're not too big. I guess they wanted to create this "made-by-mom" feel. Buletten (in my home lingo, "Fleischkößchen") are THE ubiquitous meat dish in the East of Germany. We often had them at home, together with potatoes and "Mischgemüse" (usually, peas and diced carrots in a white sauce) - a traditional Mittagessen in an Eastern German home!
Once a month our office get some Doughnuts from the same shop. Bienenstich is just great. I hope you have a nice time in Berlin. With two kids, the temperature and the brutal distances to cover this can be demanding. So I hope you could enjoy it nontheless! in the case you were visiting our region again, you should at least visit the parks and castles of Potsdam next to Berlin. This will be a unique experience for you because it's totally different from other castles in Germany. Potsdam has strong mediterrenean, Dutch, Russian and even Swiss influenced parts, especially historical architecture. Greetings
My grandmother is from East Berlin, and we make potato salad with apples in it as well. I love love love Brammibal's donuts as well! A good friend lives in Berlin and everytime we visit, we go and have a donut together.
If you ever make Frikadellen (Hamburg here, so not Buletten) at home, you very few finally chopped onions BUT add a small can of corn. That tastes great!! PS : North and especially north east Germany : Apples are quite common in mayo-based potato salads.
The history of Hokey Pokey for ice cream is interesting. The street vendors of ice cream in both the UK and USA in the late 19th Century were mainly Italian and were known as "hokey pokey men", so their wares became known as "Hokey Pokey". But this was also the name given by New Zealanders to honeycomb toffee. In the 1950s, an innovative Kiwi brought the two together to invent the Hokey Pokey flavour by mixing honeycomb toffee with vanilla ice cream, now popular across the world.
@@OurStorytoTell I had to mention it because all over 95% are „conventional“ Italian German icecreme shops and in Berlin young brave students and others opened their new style icecreme spots mostly without a cafe attached only smal vendor spaces but the icecreme is something else in taste and quality. In my second home in Bonn there are dozen Italian run shops and the Eislabor but none of those come close to the Berlin new ones. Foodwise Berlin is heaven. I totally fell in love with Vietnamese cuisine. I was recently in Georgian restaurant in Berlin.. absolutely delicious.. Sudanese.. israel restaurant Zula omg… and the best Swabian restaurants outside Swabia.. Swiss and Austrian restaurants.. anything you could wish for. Here in Bonn it’s mainly Italian Restaurants. So Berlin is Heaven. I’m lucky I can live in both places though. Cheers
Fun fact on Curry Wurst. The car manufacturer VW produces its own Curry Wurst. Originally only intended for their canteens, but now it's their most sold product. 🤣
Hi all, enjoy the food. There are lots of varieties of Berliner, Krapfen, Pfannkuchen accross Germany but all of them are tasty. Same with Bulette, Frikadellen, Fleischpflanzerl. You will find the texture you love for sure. Seems Tanner you are now hooked on Fassbrause. Well, I never tasted it but wil do soon once. I am addicted to so called, Mezzo Mix, Diesel, kalter Kaffee, since I first tasted as a kid calle Spezie in Bavaria. I mix by myself 1/3rd of Zero Coke and 2/3rd of Zero Orange Limonade. Well, you all seemed to enjoy the food which is good cos in near future you might be a bit disappointed about food but astonished about the landscape which you will discover just a little bit. Crossing my fingers for good sunny days as I am also on leave same time, may be same area. CU and happy anticipation time. Ha det bra.
Curry 36 is a bit touristy imho, but tbh... Currywurst is a nice Snack and we have some very nice wild boar curry wurst in the Harz for example, but Döner is just better. Currywurst is maybe more consistent... Even a below average currwurst is still quite nice. Not much to do wrong there, so it's always a safe bet. Btw, Willa is just so adorable and seems very alert and curious, somehow a poster girl for the joys of starting a family 😀
Sadly you missed the best Spot to eat typical Berlin dishes: Metzgerei Domke at Warschauer Strasse. Another place to check out is Sheers Schnitzel at Oberbaumbrücke ... and RISA, best chicken in town ... you won't go to KFC ever again after that 😅 Greetings from Berlin-Schöneweide
You had Currywurst in Bamberg? Eating Currywurst and Döner is like traveling around France eating nothing but Big Macs. Last time I was in Bamberg I had Leber Käse and Pfifferlinge washed down with Rauchbier.
That was our very first time trying curry wurst (in Bamberg, but we definitely try to taste the local specialties in each German city we go to. :) We do love döner though 😂
:D Funny i have been at that curry wurst booth 4 years ago and while i was waiting and standing there for about 20 minutes i saw two rats running between the tables and human legs - looking for food and then vanishing inside the tables and other openings in that place :D
That Currywurst you had looks like an “Oberländer“ (also called Wollwurst in some areas), it’s that light colored slightly flattened skinless fine Bratwurst like look. To me it’s the ONLY Wurst to be used for Currywurst, and luckily it’s what’s mostly sold as Currywurst here in the Swabia. (I sometimes make it at home, then with Bratkartoffeln.) In other areas of Germany and in the convenience food section in supermarkets a different sausage is used, kind of like a regular „Rote Wurst“ with the curry already in the Wurst dough. I think that’s the kind you get in the Ruhrpott, so I would never eat a Currywurst there. To me quite disgusting. But tastes differ … and that’s a good thing. I just suggest you take a look at the Currywurst before ordering, to make sure you get what you expect …
@@OurStorytoTell Sorry, I used a local/regional term, and forgot it’s not called the same everywhere in Germany. A Rote Wurst (or Rote for short) is the same as a Bockwurst. It’s called Rote Wurst in Baden-Württemberg, Swabia, Baden, looks like a thicker and somewhat darker (more reddish) Wiener. It can be heated in water or grilled (barbecued) in which case it’s skin is usually cut/scored diagonally or crosswise to avoid the skin from bursting. And it can be made into a Currywurst with the curry incorporated into the sausage dough.
The best "Currywurst" ever was - a Volkswagen! It was served in the company´s cafeterias and the visitor center and it was by far the best selling "Volkswagen" ever, having outsold the original VW bvug by far! ome wise guy in Volkswagen´s management decided to kick it off the menue to "mninimize the carbon footprint" - a rgater daft motion, which backlashed. Quite a few people changed brands for that.
Well curry 36 is definitely not the best and definitely not the traditional currywurst place in Berlin. I think you missed „Konopke“ the only real Currywurst Place I would ever have one.
There´s a big dispute where the Currywurst was foundet. Many people (and mee too) believe, it originally comes from the Ruhr-Valley. But anyway, eating a Currywurst makes me just happy. ☺
Marisa, you are such a natural beautiful woman. Get up in the morning, wear a t-shirt, be beautiful. You really don't have to do anything for it. But do me a favor: wear sunscreen 365 days a year to keep it that way (Tanner too). Yes, I know, by the time we're 90, we'll all look like ghost train characters.
@@OurStorytoTell that's good, 1 month of sun protection and you get that beautiful asian glass skin straight away. The German sun protection filters are the most modern in the world and are included in almost every product, but unfortunately it is still difficult to find a wearable sunscreen that does not feel uncomfortable. I prefer to use the sunozon sensitive Sonnenfluid LSF 50 but i also like the Sun Ozon Sun Drops 50+.
Currywurst in Berlin or Hamburg shocked me back when I first visited those cities. This is not how you know the sausage in the Ruhr area. And then they also pour some ketchup crap over it for the customer. A crime. That really has absolutely nothing to do with Currywurst.
In the normal part of Germany, what Berliners sell as a "Bulette" is called a "Frikadelle". but what they sell as "Pfannkuchen" is actually called "Berliner" in normal Germany.
Curry 36 is probably the worst place. It's just a massive tourist scam. I really don't know why they are so famous but you can literally go anywhere in Germany and get a better Currywurst.😂
In Berlin they name everything wrong.. Berliner are called Pfannkuchen or Krapfen wich doesnt just sound wrong but is a totally different thing in the rest of germany .. Frikadellen are Bulletten .. noone sais bulleten except in berlin.. also a Brötchen is a Schrippe wich also sounds absolutely wrong. its berlin thing. only people from Berlin and foreigners actually like Berlin. If you go to northern germany and ask for buletten they will look at you as you are a foreigner and asking for pfannkuchen you will get the real thing a real pfannkuchen and not a Dough-berliner ;)
Willa is SOOOO adorable!! ❤
Pfannkuchen are called "Berliners" in other parts of Germany, because the "original" name was "Berliner Pfannkuchen", since they were fried in huge pans (Pfanne), hence the name. Problem is, that the rest of Germany dropped the "Pfannkuchen" part of the name and Berliners never used the "Berliner" Part of the name. So we call them Pfannkuchen and the rest of Germany Pfannkuchen (or Krapfen etc). Fun fact, what the rest of Germany call "Pfannkuchen" (a thin, crepes like pastry) is called Eierkucheni in Berlin
Now Berliners just need to say "Berliner" to what the rest of Germany calls Eierkuchen and the circle is complete!
Off topic but fun fact as well: a puff-pastry with a filling of vanilla custard and fruit is called "Wiener bröd" in Denmark, "Wiener Brot" in Flensburg and "Kopenhagener" or "Plunder" in the rest of the German speaking world, including Vienna.
In Frankfurt it's a crime to call a Kreppel a Berliner
Well, I as a Thuringian will always say Pfannkuchen, and Eierkuchen are the thin ones

Genau, es ist auch kein Ketchup, sondern eine Tomatensauce, dass ist ein Unterschied! , genauso wie der Apfelkompott.

This will be a unique experience for you because it's totally different from other castles in Germany. Potsdam has strong mediterrenean, Dutch, Russian and even Swiss influenced parts, especially historical architecture. Greetings
Dönninghaus "Die Echte" from the Bermuda 3Eck pub quarter in Bochum is the best Currywurst in Germany!
Ahh Bochum! We love the city!
My grandmother is from East Berlin, and we make potato salad with apples in it as well.
I love love love Brammibal's donuts as well! A good friend lives in Berlin and everytime we visit, we go and have a donut together.
That’s fun to hear the similarities of potato salad! Mmmm Brammibal’s donuts!! We wish we lived closer!
Thanks for a great vlog, loved the explanations on the origins of dishes! 👌
Thanks so much for watching! 😊
If you ever make Frikadellen (Hamburg here, so not Buletten) at home, you very few finally chopped onions BUT add a small can of corn. That tastes great!!
PS : North and especially north east Germany : Apples are quite common in mayo-based potato salads.
The icecreme shops in Berlin are something else… Vanille Marille Hokey Pokey etc.. there are dozens with splendid icecreme.. not to be missed
Mmmm we wish we could have ate more and tried them! Haha we definitely didn’t lack in the food department 😋
The history of Hokey Pokey for ice cream is interesting. The street vendors of ice cream in both the UK and USA in the late 19th Century were mainly Italian and were known as "hokey pokey men", so their wares became known as "Hokey Pokey". But this was also the name given by New Zealanders to honeycomb toffee. In the 1950s, an innovative Kiwi brought the two together to invent the Hokey Pokey flavour by mixing honeycomb toffee with vanilla ice cream, now popular across the world.
@@OurStorytoTell I had to mention it because all over 95% are „conventional“ Italian German icecreme shops and in Berlin young brave students and others opened their new style icecreme spots mostly without a cafe attached only smal vendor spaces but the icecreme is something else in taste and quality. In my second home in Bonn there are dozen Italian run shops and the Eislabor but none of those come close to the Berlin new ones. Foodwise Berlin is heaven. I totally fell in love with Vietnamese cuisine. I was recently in Georgian restaurant in Berlin.. absolutely delicious.. Sudanese.. israel restaurant Zula omg… and the best Swabian restaurants outside Swabia.. Swiss and Austrian restaurants.. anything you could wish for. Here in Bonn it’s mainly Italian Restaurants. So Berlin is Heaven. I’m lucky I can live in both places though. Cheers
Wunderbar 🎉
You should have tried Currywurst at Profi Grill in Bochum Wattenscheid when you were there ;)
the Döner looks really good...i also like that they still use the bigger bread (1/4 Fladenbrot - that's the original)
We didn’t know that was the original but we definitely like it best too!
Fun fact on Curry Wurst. The car manufacturer VW produces its own Curry Wurst. Originally only intended for their canteens, but now it's their most sold product. 🤣
Such a fun, interesting fact!
Hi all, enjoy the food. There are lots of varieties of Berliner, Krapfen, Pfannkuchen accross Germany but all of them are tasty. Same with Bulette, Frikadellen, Fleischpflanzerl. You will find the texture you love for sure. Seems Tanner you are now hooked on Fassbrause. Well, I never tasted it but wil do soon once. I am addicted to so called, Mezzo Mix, Diesel, kalter Kaffee, since I first tasted as a kid calle Spezie in Bavaria. I mix by myself 1/3rd of Zero Coke and 2/3rd of Zero Orange Limonade. Well, you all seemed to enjoy the food which is good cos in near future you might be a bit disappointed about food but astonished about the landscape which you will discover just a little bit. Crossing my fingers for good sunny days as I am also on leave same time, may be same area. CU and happy anticipation time. Ha det bra.
We hope for sunny days as well!! We have yet to try Mezzo Mix but need to!
@@OurStorytoTell Create your own version, its tastier. Lots of calories of course
I love curry wurst ❤
Curry 36 is a bit touristy imho, but tbh... Currywurst is a nice Snack and we have some very nice wild boar curry wurst in the Harz for example, but Döner is just better. Currywurst is maybe more consistent... Even a below average currwurst is still quite nice. Not much to do wrong there, so it's always a safe bet.
Btw, Willa is just so adorable and seems very alert and curious, somehow a poster girl for the joys of starting a family 😀
The *orginal* sausage for Currywurst is called *Oberländer*
I WISH I could share a photo of my Old English Sheepdog watching your channel! She loves you guys!
We wish you could too!! Love that! :)
Sadly you missed the best Spot to eat typical Berlin dishes: Metzgerei Domke at Warschauer Strasse.
Another place to check out is Sheers Schnitzel at Oberbaumbrücke ... and RISA, best chicken in town ... you won't go to KFC ever again after that 😅
Greetings from Berlin-Schöneweide
Mmmm we believe you! Bummer we missed these spots. Thanks for the suggestions for next time! 😋
The B at the license plate also stands for boulette ;)
I really laughed out loud, when you spoke about the great Currywurst with MC D🍔 in the background...😂😂😂
Haha glad it made you laugh!
You had Currywurst in Bamberg? Eating Currywurst and Döner is like traveling around France eating nothing but Big Macs. Last time I was in Bamberg I had Leber Käse and Pfifferlinge washed down with Rauchbier.
That was our very first time trying curry wurst (in Bamberg, but we definitely try to taste the local specialties in each German city we go to. :) We do love döner though 😂
Your meal sounds tasty in Bamberg!
Yum
:D Funny i have been at that curry wurst booth 4 years ago and while i was waiting and standing there for about 20 minutes i saw two rats running between the tables and human legs - looking for food and then vanishing inside the tables and other openings in that place :D
@10:21 "so good" --> Really?? Which one do you like more, the mini or that?
You should know the Buletten as Fleischplanzl in Bavaria. It is about the same.
We actually didn’t know that! 😂 Thanks for teaching us!
Willa is soooooooo adorable!
Willa wird definitiv eines Tages euern Kanal übernehmen, da könnt Ihr hoch oder nieder Hüpfen!😉🙃
WIlla loves the camera and the camera loves willa! Hilarious.
So true😂
That Currywurst you had looks like an “Oberländer“ (also called Wollwurst in some areas), it’s that light colored slightly flattened skinless fine Bratwurst like look.
To me it’s the ONLY Wurst to be used for Currywurst, and luckily it’s what’s mostly sold as Currywurst here in the Swabia.
(I sometimes make it at home, then with Bratkartoffeln.)
In other areas of Germany and in the convenience food section in supermarkets a different sausage is used, kind of like a regular „Rote Wurst“ with the curry already in the Wurst dough. I think that’s the kind you get in the Ruhrpott, so I would never eat a Currywurst there.
To me quite disgusting.
But tastes differ … and that’s a good thing.
I just suggest you take a look at the Currywurst before ordering, to make sure you get what you expect …
That does sound interesting! We had never heard of the Rote Wurst until now.
@@OurStorytoTell
Sorry, I used a local/regional term, and forgot it’s not called the same everywhere in Germany.
A Rote Wurst (or Rote for short) is the same as a Bockwurst. It’s called Rote Wurst in Baden-Württemberg, Swabia, Baden, looks like a thicker and somewhat darker (more reddish) Wiener. It can be heated in water or grilled (barbecued) in which case it’s skin is usually cut/scored diagonally or crosswise to avoid the skin from bursting.
And it can be made into a Currywurst with the curry incorporated into the sausage dough.
2:30- But how does Berlin currywurst compare to Italian sausage with marinara sauce? It looks almost identical!
Haha funny it looks almost the same. We like both honestly but they taste very different! 😊
@@OurStorytoTell I'll have to try both blindfolded!
Did you also try some International food like any kind of asian etc?
Stay tuned for the video on Wednesday 😋 you will LOVE it!
The best "Currywurst" ever was - a Volkswagen! It was served in the company´s cafeterias and the visitor center and it was by far the best selling "Volkswagen" ever, having outsold the original VW bvug by far! ome wise guy in Volkswagen´s management decided to kick it off the menue to "mninimize the carbon footprint" - a rgater daft motion, which backlashed. Quite a few people changed brands for that.
All red sauces are not "ketchup". If British soldiers introduced it there, it is English tomato sauce, not American "Ketchup".
People say it different in every Region
Ihr Mann ist süß
Germany needs a kebab price brake
Okay but how did you like the vegan donuts?? 👀
AMAZINNGGG!
Right after this video I had to get some food.
That means we did our job well! 😂😋
@@OurStorytoTell yes, but now i need a Vouchercode for weight watchers
0:25 des is a Krapfen!
Berliner !!! 🤣
Pfannkuchen
Well curry 36 is definitely not the best and definitely not the traditional currywurst place in Berlin. I think you missed „Konopke“ the only real Currywurst Place I would ever have one.
What you are in Berlin? Come to Zeesen Brandenburg next Weekend to attend a genuine Brandenburg Festival 🤘
Hipsters on road whahahaha
Das Essen in den alten Eisverpackungen…. Wie deutsch möchtest du sein - Ja 🌚
There´s a big dispute where the Currywurst was foundet. Many people (and mee too) believe, it originally comes from the Ruhr-Valley. But anyway, eating a Currywurst makes me just happy. ☺
"Geh'se durch die Stadt, wat macht dich da satt, ne Currywurst!" XD
It definitely makes us happy! 😊
Marisa, you are such a natural beautiful woman. Get up in the morning, wear a t-shirt, be beautiful. You really don't have to do anything for it. But do me a favor: wear sunscreen 365 days a year to keep it that way (Tanner too). Yes, I know, by the time we're 90, we'll all look like ghost train characters.
Oh so kind! I actually have put an extra effort into wearing sunscreen lately! Planning on wearing it daily!
@@OurStorytoTell that's good, 1 month of sun protection and you get that beautiful asian glass skin straight away. The German sun protection filters are the most modern in the world and are included in almost every product, but unfortunately it is still difficult to find a wearable sunscreen that does not feel uncomfortable. I prefer to use the sunozon sensitive Sonnenfluid LSF 50 but i also like the Sun Ozon Sun Drops 50+.
Currywurst in Berlin or Hamburg shocked me back when I first visited those cities. This is not how you know the sausage in the Ruhr area. And then they also pour some ketchup crap over it for the customer. A crime.
That really has absolutely nothing to do with Currywurst.
In the normal part of Germany, what Berliners sell as a "Bulette" is called a "Frikadelle". but what they sell as "Pfannkuchen" is actually called "Berliner" in normal Germany.
There is no normal part of germany. Every region is distinct from the others and none is more german than any other. There is no "true german" region.
It’s funny the difference of names!
0:25 des is a Berliner! 😅
Convienence food, out of the freezer 😮. That's dissapointing
Cool show just drop the annoying little girl…
boring and not helpful. But husband cute
Curry 36 is probably the worst place. It's just a massive tourist scam. I really don't know why they are so famous but you can literally go anywhere in Germany and get a better Currywurst.😂
The Currywurst you had, is actually no real Currywurst. It's just a Bratwurst with Curry Sauce. ;.)
Ruhrpott Currywurst > Berlin Currywurst
Everyone has a favorite currywurst haha love it!
In Berlin they name everything wrong.. Berliner are called Pfannkuchen or Krapfen wich doesnt just sound wrong but is a totally different thing in the rest of germany .. Frikadellen are Bulletten .. noone sais bulleten except in berlin.. also a Brötchen is a Schrippe wich also sounds absolutely wrong. its berlin thing. only people from Berlin and foreigners actually like Berlin.
If you go to northern germany and ask for buletten they will look at you as you are a foreigner and asking for pfannkuchen you will get the real thing a real pfannkuchen and not a Dough-berliner ;)
Ziemlich überflüssiger Post,
Gruß aus Berlin
My favourite Fassbrause is Krombacher Apfel , but i think it's no more available 🥲 and i don't know why.
Ah such a bummer 🥲
❤❤❤❤❤
If you love Krapfen, you have to go to Café Rischart or one of its shops in Munich during Fasching
Aww yum! Thanks for the recommendation!
