When I go home to visit i always look forward to the incredible selection of breads and rolls. The delis in the grocery stores are amazing as well. There are loads of cheeses from France, Holland, Switzerland, Italy, of course Germany and from virtually all European countries. The cold cuts and hams are the same. I am talking about Grocery stores that are sometimes in rural areas. Here in the US you would need to go to NYC, Boston or other big cultural hubs. Dang, I must look into flights to Germany asap.

    This reminded me of my German host dad. He left breakfast for me on the table every morning- a pot of tea, a boiled egg in a cup with a little cozy, some fruit, and a Brötchen with either Nutella or Butter and Käse. On the weekends, it was still the egg and fruit, but he made hot chocolate instead of tea, and a pain au chocolate instead of Brötchen.

    A good video. I've been visiting Germany regularly for more than 40 years, mainly staying with friends there in Schleswig-Holstein and Nord Rhein Westfalen, and I can say that I love the "traditional" German breakfast of bread/breadrolls with meats, cheeses, pickles, tomatoes and soft boiled eggs.
    I think it is fair to say that the "traditional" breakfast is not as popular among younger Germans. And even older Germans don't eat it every day. Sunday is still, for many German families, a time to enjoy a long, leisurely "traditional" German breakfast.
    I've not stayed at many German hotels, but those that I have served pretty much what you described.
    Love it!

    • @holger_p
      @holger_p 27 дней назад

      Yes, but it's not that people today dislike the type of food. They just dislike to eat just as a routine, cause they are told to have breakfast. 30-40% are not hungry in the morning, just have a coffee or some cereals. Of course , the morning is the time when all people are at home, so best time for a family meal. Would be stupid to expect everybody to be home at lunch, and sometimes complicated at dinner time.

Don't forget the Rauchbier when visiting Bamberg. The Schlenkerla is a really awesome brewery a few hundred years old! Bamberg is a real jewel! Zum Wohl! Quark is really more like Greek Yogurt really but with some cherries or strawberries mixed in , Lecker! Don't forget just a plain semmel (brötchen) frisch aus dem Ofen, mit Nutella!! I loved nutella and cherry preserves (kirschen kompott) on a vollkorn brötchen too! Adei!

    Besides cups with yogurt we used to eat cups with quark that was served with fruit in the cup, like a yogurt. Quark is not as dense as creamcheese, a bit more like a creamy ricotta. Seasoned with herbs and spices we would eat it at lunch with salt potatoes.
    Besides Leberwurst (Braunschweiger) we have another spreadable meat option called Teewurst. It's pinker in color. Don't realy know what is in it, but it is delicious.
    Born and raised in Germany, but have bee living in the States since the late 80s. My German food I still miss a lot. Most mornings I will eat yogurt with fruit and Müsli, last night I had baguette with butter and cheese.

    I'm german and on my normal work days I eat Müsli in the morning. I prepare it in the evening - oatmeal with some crushed linnen seeds, some unsweetened cocoa nibs, vegan milk (got some problems with lactose), some frozen berrys and sometimes with greek yoghurt. In the morning I slice a banana and add it to the Müsli as well as some crushed walnuts.
    On weekends it depends - sometime I just eat a banana or an yoghurt (without added sugar) and on sunday I love to go to a bakery and get some bread buns and eat it with Nudossi (it's like Nutella but BETTER!).

    Also in Munich, I forgot what they were called, but they sold many huge pretzel bread with Philadelphia cream cheese, that was also good, but I only saw this in Munich. They seem to love their pretzel bread there and I agree with them, they are delicious and there's a huge variety of choice like the käsenbrotchen (I probably ruined the name) which is a big giant pretzel bread with melted cheese on top of it.

    This is the continental breakfast of Europe in most places. The French only serve bread and cereals, the Germans have bread, cold cuts, tea, and coffee same for the French for beverages. Barcelona Spain and Amsterdam Holland was awesome because they had steak and eggs in their restaurants for breakfast. When I travel through Europe I usually go to hostels with a kitchen where you can cook what ever you want for any meal during the day. Otherwise I get stuff from the Mom and Pop grocery store to make sandwiches or supermarkets on the railway stations if you want to eat cheap and having a cooler to store your food when you are on the trains. Buying from cafes and restaurants you will spend more money, watch other Europeans who carry more stuff on their back packs or ruck sacks, these people know how to eat cheap. Ramen noodles with stuff to put in it are popular choices. I was in the US Army before and stationed in Germany, as an infantry guy I learned from watching Europeans eat during the Summer on holidays when on my off time and got tips from German friends and other European travelers.

    Yes, savoury all the way. I occasionally eat something sweet, but not on a regular basis. And yes, Kürbiskernbrötchen are the best. And scrambled eggs. I always pictured the US having more of a savoury breakfast and was surprised that many of them simply ate cerials and waffles. Thankfully the only time the hotel didn't have a breakfast I liked there was a wonderful place on the other side. They had amazing croissants, also savory ones.

    Quark is essentially plain unsweetened joghurt with less whey/moisture in it.
    Just let some of the whey drip through a sieve over night, and what you are left with is Quark.
    You can use it in sweet or savory dishes. Similar to the ways ricotta would be used.
    I also love to put it on a roll or slice of bread, jam on top of it, or honey. My BF even loves to put Nutella with Quark on his. ☺

    @holger_p 27 дней назад +1

    Breakfast is always "all you can eat" buffet, never seen anything else. When it's included in the room rate, you are lucky. But if not. If you prefer Café and Croissant, or a little prepared sandwich, something small, better don't pay the 15-20€ per Person for breakfast in the Hotel, rather go and see the next best bakery and you have it for maybe 7€.
    That's something to pay attention for, when booking a hotel room. Booking a double room without breakfast, and paying 40€ for two people per day extra for the breakfast, can be quiet expensive.
    Sometimes a room at another Hotel with 20€ more per night, seems to be more expensive, but if breakfast is included, it's actually cheaper.

    Take a bread roll, slice it in half. Roher Schinken (what you called Prosciutto kind) on one side. Then take a soft boiled egg, peal it, put in on the Schinkenbrötchen and slice it. A little bit of salt on top. If you're hungry you do that for both sides of the bread roll, if you're not as hungry or on the go you "close" the brötchen with the empty half. Nothing beats that for me. Also works with salami or cheese, depending on your taste.

    Just in case nobody mentioned it yet, Quark is curd. Spreadable like soft cream cheese, but with a slight acidity to it -- perfect to put a sweet jam on, or mixed with fresh herbs (parsley, chives and a small pinch of salt) for a savory alternative. Or mix it with fruit! The higher the fat content, btw, the less you notice the acidity; 0% fat (Magerquark) has the most, then you have varieties of 10%, 20% and 40% (Sahnequark). Quark is also what a German Cheesecake is baked with. Oh, and the herbed quark is our version of sour cream to put on baked potatoes!

    It depends on what kind of hotel. I hate big chain hotels and buffets. When I travel to Germany you'll not find me in big cities but a family hotel on the outskirts. No buffet and probably personal attention from the owner or a family member. The breakfast will be standard: bread, cold cuts, coffee/tea, fresh orange juice and 2 boiled eggs kept warm with eggwarmers. If you intend to make a daytrip you can order a lunch to take with you.

    All true, for the rich, like richy rich americans in fancy places.
    My breakfast during all of my childhood was rolled oat flakes (Haferflocken) with warm milk and a cup of tea. But I agree, in hotels they serve these delicious breakfasts, not so much at home. The average pensión after 45 years of hard work ist €1.278 a month. So much about smoked salmon.
    I am not at all overpatriotic, don't even live in Germany anymore. You come from any foreign country after border checks have been abolished, you receive as a family with 2 kids €3.000+ as "Bürgergeld" without ever having contributed to the system plus free health inssurance. German food is beautiful. Living alone on a pensión it is simply not afordable.

    OK so if you're on the North-Western coast in East Fresia/Ostfriesland you will be expected to drink tea their way. As a Brit, this was alien to me and I didn't like it at all, but the landlord in our Bed and Breakfast was almost militant in making sure we followed his rules. They are very proud of their tea tradition and expect everyone to marvel at it.
    1. Put a large chunk of Kandiszucker (a rough, ungranulated brownish sugar - the chunks are about an inch but irregular in shape) in the bottom of the cup
    2. Pour the hot, weak, freshly-brewed black tea from the pot over the sugar lump
    3. Pour the cream on top, slowly over a spoon so it floats. They use a special cream, only available that part of the world, like the top-of-the- milk.
    I drank some once because the landlord stood over and watched to make sure I drank it after he had poured it, but it tasted like sugary water to me. I don't take sugar in my tea and I like British builder's tea.

      Actually, it starts out weak, but it will get stronger and stronger. You have to stick to that, too. And the Frisians drink more tea per head than anywhere else in Europe, if I am not mistaken.

    Same nonsense as always.
    What Germans expect for breakfast in hotels on vacation, or what is the local standard in hotels, and what they really eat for breakfast in everyday life are two pairs of shoes.
    In my family we eat muesli in the morning during the week. As a child I ate dry Kellog's Smacks or Nutella bread. Today I eat quark bread in the morning - bread, not Brötchen.
    My grandfather and my father, who both worked in construction, had two breakfasts in the morning. Before they left the house at 5.30 a.m. they had bread with jam, and when they came to their breakfast break at 9:30 a.m., they had fried potatoes or fried or scrambled eggs, poached eggs, egg omelets, boiled sausages, baked meat loaf etc., something warm. My other grandfather and my uncle, who had a farm, ate an apple and a margarine bread with plum jam in the morning and for their second breakfast an egg or sweat dishes, like pancakes, crepes, french toast with a tub of milk coffee. My brother-in-law, who lives on the coast, basically eats fish on bread and butter for breakfast every day.
    In my family we only have rolls on Saturdays and a boiled egg on Sundays, sweet pastries only when we're out and about and haven't had breakfast.
    For us, sausage belongs on the lunch or dinner table, but not for breakfast.
    I did a short family survey on WhatsApp. Of the 56 people in my family who responded, two like to eat salami bread in the morning, five eat Teewurst or Kalbsleberwurst and one Bärchenwurst, one only fruits and two don't eat breakfast at all.

    First of all, I’m American. I do not eat sweet breakfast! I prefer and have always had a savory breakfast meal, scrambled eggs or omelettes, either traditional breakfast meats such as bacon. Sausage, ham steaks, pork chops fried, and beef steaks!! All with hash brown potatoes, some kind of sliced bread, usually buttered. So don’t point out ALL Americans eat is sweet. Maybe you know better than to be so negative towards US!!
