**Johnnie Walker IS NOT an American whiskey, of course, it's Scottish. I totally forgot to double-check that, I just used the footage I had recorded. Sorry about that!** What kind of American (style) products you have seen at your store in Germany OR what kind of "German" products your American store sells! Let me know in the comments below!
When you do another food video in the States please include a brand of potato chips called “ MikeSell’s”. It is a Dayton, Ohio company and they are so good. It is a very light and airy potato chip cooked in peanut oil. Most companies do not cook chips in peanut oil. The seasoning is very subtle and not drenched in seasoning powder like most American chips. My family are big fans of blue cheese dressing. It is so good with celery. Panera makes a blue cheese dressing that is very tasty.
The reason it says "Snyder's of Hanover" is that there is also a "Snyder's of Berlin". Both are cities in Pennsylvania. Both were originated by the same family.
It's not related to food, but my kids were going to name their dog Felicity, but it was too many syllables. I told them about your nickname and now their puppy is named after you. :)
Europe in general does bakeries right. Last year before the pandemic, I was in several countries in Europe (including Germany) and every one had amazing bakeries. Ours in America are so commercialized comparatively.
@@richszmal1653 I moved to Munich nearly 4 years ago and while I love German bakeries for their brot and German style pastries, I've actually never had any good cake here. I think compared to the U.S baked sweets aren't as moist here (in my opinion) and also there isn't much variety. Idk just my opinion though.
When I was in Hanover, Germany last year I ate at an American style sports diner and they did everything near perfect. The only way you’d be able to tell it wasn’t in America is that soccer was playing on their TVs and you’d be more likely to see American football, baseball or basketball playing if it was in America. I was really impressed.
@@m.s.1467 thank you! It's because of your city, actuallly, that I have taken such an interest in Germany and I've even started learning to speak German! :)
I love how you say "caramel" not just with an American accent, but a midwestern accent. You've actually gotten your accent down so well that if you live elsewhere in the Anglosphere many people might assume you are midwestern. That's a very impressive skill.
It's pretty common here as well, which is great. You'll sometimes see other German brands floating around, too. Most mass-market American chocolate is trash, and Hershey's has tried very hard to prevent real Cadbury (as well as some other British chocolate) from being widely available.
I live in Texas too. I buy Rittersport Schokolade (chocolate) all the time, on a regular basis!! It tastes excellent and has very FEW to NO chemicals in it, UNLIKE U.S.A. brands!! I also buy a German - made mustard named Alstertor Dusseldorf Style Mustard. I like it a lot as well!!
As an American currently living in Germany I'm always amused to see "American" food at my Edeka in town. I would imagine it's the same as when you see "German" food in the American grocery.

Same here. The one thing I wish we had in the states is the paprika chips. The only place I can find them is off base. I enjoy shopping at the German grocery stores and learning the names for things in German.
PA getting some love, makes life better if I ever visit Germany as I’m from the suburbs of philly, I’m in DELCO Delaware county, I love your videos Feli
Werther’s originals is a German candy. Founded in Werther Germany. Produced by Storck. As a kid my father worked for them when we lived in Halle Westphalen. Love watching your videos.
Your brother has been awesome in videos you have filmed in Germany. The two of you seem to have a pretty good relationship. Has your brother been to the US? When was he here / does he plan a trip after Covid???
Amazingly, for non Pennsylvanians, there is another brand Snyders of Berlin that is part of the Utz company and is based in Hanover PA. Both Snyder’s were the same company until they split mid-century.
@@IAm_Eric_ButYouCanCallMe_Eric North Carolinan here...but we definitely have Utz here. I have seen Snyder of Berlin as well, although it's been a while.
@@gmanandhislady interesting. I’ve only seen Snyder’s of Berlin in PA. We have Utz where I live now (Maryland). I wonder if Utz has phased out Berlin for a lot of places outside of PA.
Funfact about popcorn: although in Germany the norm for popcorn is to be sweet and most people don't lie them salty, in Austria it's actually the opposite. More people here like salty popcorn than sweet. Also in Austrian cinemas you mostly only find salty popcorn, while in Germany you are more likely to find it sweet (and salty), which of course then makes sense. Anyways, i think it's really interesting that there is so big of a difference, although they are neighboring countries and even have the same language (kinda). Also here in Austria we think of sweet Popcorn to be something American rather than German, which is really funny, but i guess it just comes from the fact that most other food is sweeter in the US and we think that it's probably the same with Popcorn.
Just from my personal experience growing up and living in the American South, most popcorn here tends to be savory and sweet varieties are more often served from some vendors at fairs or in containers of assortments you can get during the holidays. It's pretty common to find these giant tins with dividers in them, with one part plain butter and salt, one part cheddar and one part caramel. Theater popcorn is pretty much universally salted, with the ability to put a butter flavored oil on it.
Oh now it makes sense! I'm used to the fact that Austria and Germany are really similar, so I was like "No, people here eat salty popcorn a lot!". Very interesting, I wonder where that rare difference between Austria and Germany comes from. (And in my experience cinemas (well, those in Innsbruck at least) have both options, if they sell popcorn at all, but most people I've met prefer it salty.)
I was so confused when I went to a cinema in Germany and they offered me sweet popcorn. As an Austrian I found that very weird. I also think that they didn’t even offer any salty popcorn. Why would you want your popcorn sweetened? 🤷🏽♀️ Another shocking thing was the butter pump in a US movie theater. Which I found so disgusting seeing kids just pumping a gallon of butter onto their popcorn 🙈 Just gimme salty, slightly buttered popcorn and the cheese sauce from the nachos to dip my popcorn in 😍
Also in Switzerland popcorn is mostly salted (in cinemas anyway). You can get sweet one in some stores but most of the people prefer it definitely salty.
Last year on a trip to Copenhagen I went to a grocery store just to see what it was like. They had what they called “American Tex-Mex Pizza” that had a hotdog-stuffed crust, and I was like like “no no nooo, that’s not right.” It’s always interesting to see how different cultures interpret each other’s food!
I believe Germans in the early days of Pennsylvania were a very cohesive ethnic group. My father grew up in Northumberland County and moved and married in Philadelphia where I was born. He could speak a broken form of German even in the 1970's. Since Germans in PA often kept to themselves they use germanized words and were called "Pennsylvania Dutch". Whether Dutch was just a mispronouncation of Deutsch or actually referred to their point of emigration from Rotterdam in the Netherlands, I do not know. While doing research on my family tree, I had to navigate the local newspaper in Northumberland County which was written in German around 1815. In my mind, it's likely that Snyders of Hannover was indeed a German family, probably from Hannover Germany. The pretzel recipe is likely traditional, and brought from Germany or at least based on German recipes. By the way, I believe soft (german) pretzels in the U.S. sell for north of $1.50 each today. I'm showing my age, but I can remember buying them as a kid for $0.05! Delicious with mustard.
@@extofer ah unrelated? The king of Hannover became the king of England in 1715, starting the Royal House of Hanover over there (nobody know what happened to the second „n“), after which several counties in then British America was named.
Marshmallow Fluff is one of my all-time favorite things. I make "fluffernutter sandwiches" with marshmallow fluff and peanut butter on bread. Absolutely delectable!
Right, the entire US had been frozen over for like a week (even the western bits are getting it now) so hopefully there aren’t any weather delays on her flight and safe trip from the airport to her house
@@kenzieduckmoo It has been steady snowing all day in Missouri. It has been a while since we have gotten this much. Very beautiful and I love it, but yes.. it is dangerously cold. Be safe!
Friends once brought my horse some Horse Treats from Germany. My horse loved them and then the Tack Store I shop at started to sell them too. Come to think of it, I own a lot of German horse stuff from boots to saddles lol.
@@andysmith5806 if you're looking at a map, they split the U.S into about 1/3 to the left closer to the Pacific ocean, and 2/3 of the US to the right of them. They are northwest of Texas and go all the way up into Canada
Kudos to your brother who helped you make a fun, interesting video. Hope you got back here okay (I'm in Cincinnati's northeast suburbs), and got home safely. We're expecting an unusual amount of snow from Feb 15 through midday on Feb 16.
In Poland we have something like the krapfens, that we call the pączki. We also have a special day in year, called The Fat Thursday, where you are allowed to eat the pączki, and any sweets as many as you can!
Yes, I was going to say as well that thousand island is common in the US. However, that's my boyfriends dressing of choice and for some reason many restaurants do not carry it.
I think thousand islands isn't as common because its was more popular in the 80s and 90s along with French dressing. Its a bit out of style these days. Vinaigrette/Italian, Caesars, and of course Ranch are definitely the more common dressings these days.
You have a great laugh Feli. Try pretzels dipped in mustard sometime. Even the hard pretzels in the bag. we used to have a bowl of mustard and platter of sliced sharp cheddar cheese to go with pretzels. My stepfather bought the Snyders brand of pretzels. He said they were German (website says German "style"). I have enjoyed seeing you and your brother together. 👍
Marshmallow cream is mostly used as an ingredient in home baking. It is a main ingredient in some kinds of homemade Christmas fudge and fudge-like candies. Very interesting! Thanks for sharing.
Well what Feli showed is like almost checkout. Right at the cashiers is a lot of candy on one side (called the "Quengelzone" which means as much as "begging-zone") and tiny bottles of alcohol, tobacco and zigarrettes and sometimes even condoms on the other side but of course you can't film that so well. But before you get to that you see a lot of beer. At least at Rewe, where this was filmed. (Sorry if there's any mistakes, it's 4.30 A.M. and I'm really tired..)
Haha, I would not call that a common place in german grocery stores though. City stores that have lots of people come by on foot in the evening probably. Besides candy the thing you most definitely find at the checkout lines are cigarettes because they need to be unlocked by the cashier.
Beer used to be the cheapest beverage anywhere in Germany, even cheaper than bottled water! Sometime in the late 90s the government passed legislation mandating that stores and restaurants must provide at least one beverage that is cheaper than beer. It is still pretty cheap, though, and I am always shocked when I leave the country at how expensive beer is elsewhere.
I buy Rittersport chocolate made in Deutschland and Alstertor Dusseldorf Style Mustard made in Deutschland from H.E.B. all the time. I like both of them a lot!! They taste excellent!! They have very FEW to NO chemicals in them, UNLIKE most U.S.A. brands!!
Nice video👍🏻. I noticed the Spaten beer on the shelf when showed the beer section. Spaten is my favorite beer! It’s hard to find here in Tennessee, but I do manage to get some now and then 😉.
Never heard of burger sauce before. I've lived in the Boston area my whole life. I love Snyder's (unsalted version on top for health reasons, there is still salt in the ingredients) crunchy mini pretzels. They're perfect with hummus.
I've seen other RUclipsrs making videos with their siblings. In everyone of them, the sibling appears to be much more introverted or shy. Felicia and her brother are no exception. I've wondered how there can be such big charisma gap within the same family.
For one thing, regularly recording videos probably has more of an effect on that than actual charisma. Being familiar with a situation makes a lot of difference. Also, i'd assume he doesn't speak english anywhere near as much as Feli, so that also might hamper him a bit. Being witty and charming is much easier in your native language
Growing up in the US (60 plus years ago) you could choose from 1000 island, French, blue cheese ....and maybe oil and vinegar. I guess 1000 island is no longer popular. ;-). After living in Germany for 10 years I am amazed at the US food you can now get here - especially in Berlin, but also in The small southern town where I live now.
I smell fat in those products LOL. We don't want Germans to get as fat as us. Imagine if we didn't get there before the Russians in WW2. They would have vodka in their supermarkets instead of hot dogs. :-) Yes, that's a dumb joke, I know they got to Berlin first, but the area where Felicia lives in would have been part of West Germany. She's so young, she probably wasn't even alive when West Germany was a thing.
A sublime pleasure of life that Americans mostly share, but not so much Germans, is feeding peanut butter to a dog. The dog behaves hilariously, and is _grateful_ at the same time! _Precious!_
Thousand Island Dressing is also used as hamburger sauce, in fact the Big Mac from McDonalds use a sauce that is no different then Thousand Island Dressing.
So Thousand Island dressing actually is very American. It was invented in Northern USA, and is named after the Thousand Islands region which is up between the US and Canada. But it is very widely used... like for example the "Secret Sauce" in In n' Out Burger restaurants is pretty much just thousand island dressing haha. Also Big Macs at mcDonalds. I do love me some 1000 Island dressing!! Awesome video!!
I was an army brat in the late 1970s and eighties. Between 1982 and 1985 I lived on pinder keaserne just outside nuremburg..I remember going to the gummi store off post when our dad gave us a few bucks and spend it in not just gummies but all kinds of amazing donuts and things we can't get in the states. We were an army family but my dad is born and raised in price hill. It was a normal working class neighborhood in the fifties and sixties..love your channel!
Cincinnati foods you must try graeter’s, UDF, and, Aglamesis brothers ice cream. Skyline vege 3 way. Grippos barbecue potato chips. Hofbrauhaus Newport, technically it’s in Kentucky but I still in the greater Cincinnati area. Buskins bakery. Taste of Belgium waffles. Servatii’s pretzels 🥨. And last but not least here is my beer list Leinenkugel‘s, 50 West, Sam Adams, fat heads, and Yingling
I lived in Germany as a child from 1971-75 in Bertchesgaden and Augsburg. (Yes, I'm 50+.) So I find this very entertaining. I retain little of my ability to speak the German language, but I've never lost my fascination with German culture and history. And I still remember fondly Frau Zoeller, who had the best pastries. I might have to check out the rest of your videos. Nice work!
Watching this episode right now. Keep up the great work, your videos are always very entertaining and informative. I'm Dutch myself so many aspects of German day-to-day life are not completely unknown to me. :) At 1:37 in the video, "mini brownies", they have Dutch text on the package :) Grüße von deinen Nachbarn im Westen!
What a great video!! In the US, they're also called "frankfurters." American cookies can be soft and chewy or crunchy and crisp. Thousand Island dressing--think of mayonnaise and ketchup blended together. It used to be very popular.
I'll never forget when I spent five weeks in Wittenberg and went to a store and saw the American section was pretty much all junk food. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry in shame :P
I've never been to Germany but I have always been kind of curious about that. But I assume that any healthy food America has Germany and other countries in Europe also have the equivalent healthy food. Also from what it looks like her vudeo where she does the opposite with German foods in America also seem to be junk food related (mostly).
@@laurao8099 I mean yeah they had healthy things that you can get in America-like fruits and veggies, non sugary cereals that type of thing. But the food that is considered “American” was just a lot of chips and soda and candy and other junk food.
@@ejm51395 OK yeah that makes sense. I can't necessarily think of a healthy healthy food that is it is originally American. But I think the same is true the other way around I cannot necessarily think of a healthy food that is specifically specifically German.
This is a brutally well-equipped store you have there, they even have Twinkies and Reese's ! That's pretty much a decent indicator, that they know what they are doing, also if they have Cholula you are in American heaven.
Volkswagen and BMW are German as well, so by that logic Bugatti, Bentley or Mini are German as well. But You are right, Werther's originated in western Germany.
At 22:57 with the Bavarian Pretzels...maybe "die Lauge" is lard ? Looks REALLY GOOD and I could eat one plain & one chive. Yummy!! (No dipping sauces or cheese sauce). Americans LOVE sauces.
What a FUN video! You previously showed German foods available in American stores, and this is a perfect follow-up. I guess the world is slowly becoming more "homogenized"; many foreign foods, etc. are available worldwide. Great seeing your brother! Keep up the good work, and keep smiling!
As a 100% genuine multi-generational American I can say "hot dogs in a jar" is as un-American as it gets. When I think of meat in a jar it does not make me hungry (to put it nicely). A marketing trick there with that one.
@@Joseph-oh6mo it's just sausages in a jar of water which was heated to kill all bacteria and to create a vacuum to seal the jar. As sausages are sealed themselves, it doesn't do anything to the taste. You wouldn't be able to tell the difference in a blind test. In addition, it's less plastic waste and glass jars will be recycled.
Love your content and I had to laugh when you brought up Rocky Mountain Marshmallows from Elgin Illinois. So almost 1000 miles from the Rocky Mountains!
I love these episodes. Based on your video of your trip to Jungle Jim's, my wife an I made the 90 mile (one way) trip to get German foods and I discovered Kühne gherkins and really great sauerkraut. It is interesting to me to see what you can find in Munich.
People used to use marshmallow fluff to make a sandwich called a "fluff-a-nutter," which was a combination of marshmallow fluff and peanut butter. I thought these were amazing as a little American kid with a sweet tooth. Thankfully, my parents refused to buy it.
Heinz is a very German family that has their business centered in Pittsburgh, PA and has maintained a close to German product mix as has Snyder from someplace in Eastern Pennsylvania. Hot dogs, hamburgers, and less common saurkraut balls ( around Cleveland, OH) are German-American creations. My one grandmother's bread was like what you described. It had a chewy crust and more of a spongy texture than a doughy one. Recently listen to a video from a a baking expert out of some university in Kansas, I believe she was of German descent, who clarified that the typical American store bought bread is "sandwich loaf" as it is European bread that has been highly modified for sandwiches ( especially for spreading peanut butter on it) and for a longer shelf life as real bread spoils faster. Peanut butter especially gained ground during the Great Depression as it contained a lot of protein and was much cheaper than meat. During this period of time "Sandwhich Loaf", American bread, was created as a cheap compliment to cheap peanut butter. Personally, I call Sandwhich Loaf; Wonder Bread, which was a brand name at one time, for its a wonder that it is bread. Well after that video I discovered that it isn't real bread.( at least in my mind) Moving on from bread, high fructose corn syrup is a more modern creation in America that is super cheap, cheaper than cane or beet sugar, but extremely sweet product that many USA food processors use. (It is a sugar created in a laboratory) It is also a major contributor to weight gain, diabetes, and other health problems as it is like a super sugar on steroids. It is best to avoid it or limit your consumption of it. I am sure that in low enough quantities that it is not that bad but who doesn't like really sweet foods. Often, even machine dispensed meat sandwiches have large quantities of it. In America we are almost addicted to this product. Even American spaghetti sauce is sweet when compared to origan Italian home made sauce.
Wow, what a coincidence, the same day you posted this I went to the new LIDL store in the US that just opened nearby. I thought it would be small like Aldi, but it was much bigger and nicer with a huge operating bakery. It was medium US size with a typically German quirky selection of stuff that was kind of interesting. No coin cart fees and no bags for your stuff (which I find kind of gimmicky but that's another story). I like that you put your brother in the video. Stay safe guys !!!
compared to your brother your accent is a lot more like "midwestern" , i havent realized it before :) btw, johnnie walker is scottish whisky, double black and green label are two of my favorites actually
I hope her brother's English listening skills are up to snuff. Sister drags him onto camera. He puts in a few words in a good but clearly German accent, but then she spews out a few dozen words in reply at full speed in a Midwestern accent. 😅
We just found out we are getting a German exchange student in August and she is a vegetarian. What types of US vegetarian foods to you recommend? Meat substitutes?
I was an exchange student in the US and also vegetarian. Most of the time I was just happy eating the side dishes (potatos with vegetables, the stuffing at Thanksgiving etc.) and meatless options like cheese pizza, pasta with tomato sauce. But I was always super grateful when my host family bought meat substitutes too. It was more than 10 years ago so I am sure that there is a lot more available now.
Marshmallow Fluff is more popular in the American northeast. The fluffernutter sandwich, marshmallow fluff and peanut butter, is the proposed state sandwich of Massachusetts.
That's right! 75 or 80 Cent for a Brezel in a German Bakery. Bei Aldi, Lidl, Penny oder anderen Discounter ist es weniger. 35 oder 40 Cent. Ist aber ne andere Qualität.
Marshmellow fluff is often utilized in making fudge. It changes the texture a bit. It's also easier to use in Rice Crispy treats or thinned with simple syrup and used as a topping for ice cream.

Snyders of Hanover and Berlin. German Surname named after 2 German cities, neither from Germany lol
I was actually surprised they have a presence outside the US.
Hot dogs here in the US are never in jars (at least not where I live lol), and taste SO much better when grilled with a little char on the outside!
Yes that is the proper way of eating them. Or in dirty hot water in NYC.
same
Yeah, I have never seen hot dogs sold in a jar before, either.

Nope, not at all. Just a strong mustard flavor.

Yes, there was another word she said and the a vowel sounded just like the Midwest.

Exactly. Scotch is made in Scotland, not the US.
Diageo also owns Guinness, which isn't made in Scotland but seems to be available globally.
You should do this the other way around in the US with “German” products

Funfact about popcorn: although in Germany the norm for popcorn is to be sweet and most people don't lie them salty, in Austria it's actually the opposite. More people here like salty popcorn than sweet. Also in Austrian cinemas you mostly only find salty popcorn, while in Germany you are more likely to find it sweet (and salty), which of course then makes sense. Anyways, i think it's really interesting that there is so big of a difference, although they are neighboring countries and even have the same language (kinda).
Also here in Austria we think of sweet Popcorn to be something American rather than German, which is really funny, but i guess it just comes from the fact that most other food is sweeter in the US and we think that it's probably the same with Popcorn.
Just from my personal experience growing up and living in the American South, most popcorn here tends to be savory and sweet varieties are more often served from some vendors at fairs or in containers of assortments you can get during the holidays. It's pretty common to find these giant tins with dividers in them, with one part plain butter and salt, one part cheddar and one part caramel. Theater popcorn is pretty much universally salted, with the ability to put a butter flavored oil on it.
Oh now it makes sense! I'm used to the fact that Austria and Germany are really similar, so I was like "No, people here eat salty popcorn a lot!". Very interesting, I wonder where that rare difference between Austria and Germany comes from. (And in my experience cinemas (well, those in Innsbruck at least) have both options, if they sell popcorn at all, but most people I've met prefer it salty.)
I was so confused when I went to a cinema in Germany and they offered me sweet popcorn. As an Austrian I found that very weird. I also think that they didn’t even offer any salty popcorn. Why would you want your popcorn sweetened? 🤷🏽♀️ Another shocking thing was the butter pump in a US movie theater. Which I found so disgusting seeing kids just pumping a gallon of butter onto their popcorn 🙈 Just gimme salty, slightly buttered popcorn and the cheese sauce from the nachos to dip my popcorn in 😍
Also in Switzerland popcorn is mostly salted (in cinemas anyway). You can get sweet one in some stores but most of the people prefer it definitely salty.
@@kuhfutter for me it depends, sometimes I like sweet more sometimes salty (If I make popcorn at home I always prefer salty) (I'm German btw.)
Last year on a trip to Copenhagen I went to a grocery store just to see what it was like. They had what they called “American Tex-Mex Pizza” that had a hotdog-stuffed crust, and I was like like “no no nooo, that’s not right.” It’s always interesting to see how different cultures interpret each other’s food!
Bless their heart.
What the?!
Americans butcher pizza but not even we would do something that heinous. We draw the line at frozen pizzas with a croissant crust
this could have been a food item intentionally designed to lampoon American pizza
I have never heard of a hotdog-stuffed crust, that is very strange
Someone in Cincinnati needs to show you how to make homemade Rice Krispie treats. That is another key purpose of marshmallows or marshmallow fluff.
And fluff-a-nutter
Yes!!! I live in Cincinnati. Wish I could meet her.
Yes, that is my favorite way to have marshmallows! I am not a big fan of them by themselves and smores are OK but rice krispies are awesome!
Hanover is a town in eastern Pennsylvania, US. I used to live there and there many pretzel and potato chip manufacturers in the Hanover, PA area.
Fun fact, there’s also a Hanover in Germany. Though unrelated, it’s a pretty great city, rich in history.
I believe Germans in the early days of Pennsylvania were a very cohesive ethnic group. My father grew up in Northumberland County and moved and married in Philadelphia where I was born. He could speak a broken form of German even in the 1970's. Since Germans in PA often kept to themselves they use germanized words and were called "Pennsylvania Dutch". Whether Dutch was just a mispronouncation of Deutsch or actually referred to their point of emigration from Rotterdam in the Netherlands, I do not know. While doing research on my family tree, I had to navigate the local newspaper in Northumberland County which was written in German around 1815. In my mind, it's likely that Snyders of Hannover was indeed a German family, probably from Hannover Germany. The pretzel recipe is likely traditional, and brought from Germany or at least based on German recipes. By the way, I believe soft (german) pretzels in the U.S. sell for north of $1.50 each today. I'm showing my age, but I can remember buying them as a kid for $0.05! Delicious with mustard.
Well, Klein tools was started by a German immigrant.
@@extofer ah unrelated? The king of Hannover became the king of England in 1715, starting the Royal House of Hanover over there (nobody know what happened to the second „n“), after which several counties in then British America was named.
@@markkerstetter4616 in the past "deutsch" (dutch) refered to both the Netherlands and Germany (and Austria, etc)
Marshmallows made in Illinois. No where near the Rocky Mountains 😂
It's a reference to the "snow capped mountain tops" a package of marhmallow looks like.
Ikr. why not Great Lake Marshmellows?
Illinois? ROCKIES??? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
Rocky Mountain Oysters are an entirely different subject also. She definitely wouldn't like those.
@@Dragoon1836 If you knew what goes into American sausages and German wurst, you wouldn't make a statement like that.
As a Swiss I approve of Timo's sweater 😏🥳
Hahaha I just had the same thought 😂
Recently found your channel and I’m loving it, reminds me of my German grandmother.
Marshmallow Fluff is one of my all-time favorite things. I make "fluffernutter sandwiches" with marshmallow fluff and peanut butter on bread. Absolutely delectable!
If you're flying in to Cincinnati on Monday, hope you have a safe trip. We are supposed to get a BIG snow storm here in southwest Ohio on Monday.
Right, the entire US had been frozen over for like a week (even the western bits are getting it now) so hopefully there aren’t any weather delays on her flight and safe trip from the airport to her house
@@kenzieduckmoo It has been steady snowing all day in Missouri. It has been a while since we have gotten this much. Very beautiful and I love it, but yes.. it is dangerously cold. Be safe!
Friends once brought my horse some Horse Treats from Germany. My horse loved them and then the Tack Store I shop at started to sell them too. Come to think of it, I own a lot of German horse stuff from boots to saddles lol.
Nothing says "Rocky Mountain" quite like Illinois. LOL!
My husband and I burst out laughing at that part. We live about 20 minutes from there 😆
Especially flat a** northern Illinois lol
Where are the Rocky Mountains if you don’t mind me asking? I’ve always wondered ever since my mum played that John Denver song for me.
@@andysmith5806 if you're looking at a map, they split the U.S into about 1/3 to the left closer to the Pacific ocean, and 2/3 of the US to the right of them. They are northwest of Texas and go all the way up into Canada
@@b1ackm4gic Thanks mate.
Great Video again, Feli 🙏👌 ..and your brother is doing great in front of the camera as well (plus he is sweet af!) ♥️♥️♥️
Kudos to your brother who helped you make a fun, interesting video. Hope you got back here okay (I'm in Cincinnati's northeast suburbs), and got home safely. We're expecting an unusual
amount of snow from Feb 15 through midday on Feb 16.
It’s funny something with “Rocky Mountain” (or any mountain!) in the name would be made in Illinois, one of the flattest states.
In Poland we have something like the krapfens, that we call the pączki. We also have a special day in year, called The Fat Thursday, where you are allowed to eat the pączki, and any sweets as many as you can!
One of my favorite things I experienced during my business trip in Germany was the pretzels and butter along side the coffee in the meeting room!
Harry Warehiem started the olde time pretzel company in Hanover Pa back in the early 1900. That became Snyder’s pretzels. Great video.
Aww.., your brother looked sad When you said you are going to Cincinnati very soon. That was sweet!
"Italian ", Ranch, "French" and Thousand Island, and a vinagrette are common dressings at a lot of American restaurants.
Caesar as well.
Yes, I was going to say as well that thousand island is common in the US. However, that's my boyfriends dressing of choice and for some reason many restaurants do not carry it.
I think thousand islands isn't as common because its was more popular in the 80s and 90s along with French dressing. Its a bit out of style these days. Vinaigrette/Italian, Caesars, and of course Ranch are definitely the more common dressings these days.
@@onthejourney9261 Thousand Island is still common in restaurants, and in stores. Plus, basically what is on a Big Mac
You have a great laugh Feli. Try pretzels dipped in mustard sometime. Even the hard pretzels in the bag. we used to have a bowl of mustard and platter of sliced sharp cheddar cheese to go with pretzels. My stepfather bought the Snyders brand of pretzels. He said they were German (website says German "style"). I have enjoyed seeing you and your brother together. 👍
I always toast my hot dog buns as well. In toast my hamburger buns as well. The crispy ness makes it so much better.
I always toast the bun when I make a hot dog but hard to get from a street vendor that way (at least in my city)
It is no surprise, but your brother is very much like you. And that is great! I think you two must have great parents.
Marshmallow cream is mostly used as an ingredient in home baking. It is a main ingredient in some kinds of homemade Christmas fudge and fudge-like candies.
Very interesting! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks. Very interesting. McCain French fries are a Canadian brand. Johnnie Walker is Scottish.
Love that beer is by the checkout - instead of Candy like in a U.S. store!
That impulse beer buy on the way out the door, lol.
Well what Feli showed is like almost checkout. Right at the cashiers is a lot of candy on one side (called the "Quengelzone" which means as much as "begging-zone") and tiny bottles of alcohol, tobacco and zigarrettes and sometimes even condoms on the other side but of course you can't film that so well. But before you get to that you see a lot of beer. At least at Rewe, where this was filmed.
(Sorry if there's any mistakes, it's 4.30 A.M. and I'm really tired..)
Haha, I would not call that a common place in german grocery stores though. City stores that have lots of people come by on foot in the evening probably. Besides candy the thing you most definitely find at the checkout lines are cigarettes because they need to be unlocked by the cashier.
Beer used to be the cheapest beverage anywhere in Germany, even cheaper than bottled water! Sometime in the late 90s the government passed legislation mandating that stores and restaurants must provide at least one beverage that is cheaper than beer. It is still pretty cheap, though, and I am always shocked when I leave the country at how expensive beer is elsewhere.
@@LeeFKoch Hach, der gute, alte Apfelsaftparagraph 😂
Yes, H. E. B. a Texas Store chain has a „international (sometimes German) isle, depending upon area in Texas.
I buy Rittersport chocolate made in Deutschland and Alstertor Dusseldorf Style Mustard made in Deutschland from H.E.B. all the time. I like both of them a lot!! They taste excellent!! They have very FEW to NO chemicals in them, UNLIKE most U.S.A. brands!!
Nice video👍🏻. I noticed the Spaten beer on the shelf when showed the beer section. Spaten is my favorite beer! It’s hard to find here in Tennessee, but I do manage to get some now and then 😉.
Another fun show! Your brother is agreat addition. I love watching these entertaining videos better than t.v. 😉
Never heard of burger sauce before. I've lived in the Boston area my whole life.
I love Snyder's (unsalted version on top for health reasons, there is still salt in the ingredients) crunchy mini pretzels. They're perfect with hummus.
Me either. Half of that stuff I have never seen here. I am in WA state.
I've seen other RUclipsrs making videos with their siblings. In everyone of them, the sibling appears to be much more introverted or shy. Felicia and her brother are no exception. I've wondered how there can be such big charisma gap within the same family.
For one thing, regularly recording videos probably has more of an effect on that than actual charisma. Being familiar with a situation makes a lot of difference. Also, i'd assume he doesn't speak english anywhere near as much as Feli, so that also might hamper him a bit. Being witty and charming is much easier in your native language
I could smell the Freedom in those products
😂
Lol
More like Corn Syrup. 😂
Growing up in the US (60 plus years ago) you could choose from 1000 island, French, blue cheese ....and maybe oil and vinegar. I guess 1000 island is no longer popular. ;-). After living in Germany for 10 years I am amazed at the US food you can now get here - especially in Berlin, but also in The small southern town where I live now.
I smell fat in those products LOL. We don't want Germans to get as fat as us. Imagine if we didn't get there before the Russians in WW2. They would have vodka in their supermarkets instead of hot dogs. :-) Yes, that's a dumb joke, I know they got to Berlin first, but the area where Felicia lives in would have been part of West Germany. She's so young, she probably wasn't even alive when West Germany was a thing.
Snyders of Hanover is actually in Hanover, PA A lot of Germans settled in PA
So cool to have found your channel. I'm located just an hour east of Cincinnati. Very interesting content! Looking forward to watching more!
A sublime pleasure of life that Americans mostly share, but not so much Germans, is feeding peanut butter to a dog.
The dog behaves hilariously, and is _grateful_ at the same time! _Precious!_
Thousand Island Dressing is also used as hamburger sauce, in fact the Big Mac from McDonalds use a sauce that is no different then Thousand Island Dressing.
So Thousand Island dressing actually is very American. It was invented in Northern USA, and is named after the Thousand Islands region which is up between the US and Canada. But it is very widely used... like for example the "Secret Sauce" in In n' Out Burger restaurants is pretty much just thousand island dressing haha. Also Big Macs at mcDonalds. I do love me some 1000 Island dressing!! Awesome video!!
I always thought it was Russian because in some places I see Russian dressing and it's very similar.
I was an army brat in the late 1970s and eighties. Between 1982 and 1985 I lived on pinder keaserne just outside nuremburg..I remember going to the gummi store off post when our dad gave us a few bucks and spend it in not just gummies but all kinds of amazing donuts and things we can't get in the states. We were an army family but my dad is born and raised in price hill. It was a normal working class neighborhood in the fifties and sixties..love your channel!
Cincinnati foods you must try graeter’s, UDF, and, Aglamesis brothers ice cream. Skyline vege 3 way. Grippos barbecue potato chips. Hofbrauhaus Newport, technically it’s in Kentucky but I still in the greater Cincinnati area. Buskins bakery. Taste of Belgium waffles. Servatii’s pretzels 🥨. And last but not least here is my beer list Leinenkugel‘s, 50 West, Sam Adams, fat heads, and Yingling
I lived in Germany as a child from 1971-75 in Bertchesgaden and Augsburg. (Yes, I'm 50+.) So I find this very entertaining. I retain little of my ability to speak the German language, but I've never lost my fascination with German culture and history. And I still remember fondly Frau Zoeller, who had the best pastries. I might have to check out the rest of your videos. Nice work!
After watching this video I didn't even know I was hungry. Thanks for reminding me.
She should try a New York style pretzel with some stoneground mustard....its the bomb.
Your brother's English is phenomenal as well. Fun vid.
Snyder’s of Hanover company headquarters is in Hanover, Pennsylvania that specializes in German-style pretzels.
Watching this episode right now. Keep up the great work, your videos are always very entertaining and informative. I'm Dutch myself so many aspects of German day-to-day life are not completely unknown to me. :)
At 1:37 in the video, "mini brownies", they have Dutch text on the package :)
Grüße von deinen Nachbarn im Westen!
Feli would freak out if she knew about Fluffernutter. Soft American sandwich bread with peanut butter and fluff in between.
Thanks so much for mentioning fluffer-nutter
Years ago, my mom and I saw a picture of one on a marshmallow jar label, and I've loved that ever since!
I wonder how well Fluff would go with Nutella. Probably too sweet. Peanut Butter is a good counterpoint to the Fluff because of its' saltiness.
You two look similar yet so different! I can see the resemblance in your eye shapes, noses, and actually the shapes of your teeth haha.
Eyebrows clearly alike.
What a great video!! In the US, they're also called "frankfurters." American cookies can be soft and chewy or crunchy and crisp. Thousand Island dressing--think of mayonnaise and ketchup blended together. It used to be very popular.
We are an American family living in Germany! Also in Bavaria, about 2 hours from Munich. Love watching your videos!
I'll never forget when I spent five weeks in Wittenberg and went to a store and saw the American section was pretty much all junk food. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry in shame :P
I've never been to Germany but I have always been kind of curious about that. But I assume that any healthy food America has Germany and other countries in Europe also have the equivalent healthy food.
Also from what it looks like her vudeo where she does the opposite with German foods in America also seem to be junk food related (mostly).
@@laurao8099 I mean yeah they had healthy things that you can get in America-like fruits and veggies, non sugary cereals that type of thing. But the food that is considered “American” was just a lot of chips and soda and candy and other junk food.
@@ejm51395 OK yeah that makes sense. I can't necessarily think of a healthy healthy food that is it is originally American. But I think the same is true the other way around I cannot necessarily think of a healthy food that is specifically specifically German.
@@laurao8099 Fair enough. Germans definitely love their carbs and sugar like anyone else that’s for sure :p
This is a brutally well-equipped store you have there, they even have Twinkies and Reese's ! That's pretty much a decent indicator, that they know what they are doing, also if they have Cholula you are in American heaven.
Storck (and thus Werthers Original) is German, not Austrian. I think you were right the first time!
Volkswagen and BMW are German as well, so by that logic Bugatti, Bentley or Mini are German as well. But You are right, Werther's originated in western Germany.
@@derorje2035 That's not what I said.
Actually, Storck is located in the city of Werther, Westfalia, Germany. That's why it is called Werthers.
At 22:57 with the Bavarian Pretzels...maybe "die Lauge" is lard ? Looks REALLY GOOD and I could eat one plain & one chive. Yummy!! (No dipping sauces or cheese sauce). Americans LOVE sauces.
What a FUN video! You previously showed German foods available in American stores, and this is a perfect follow-up. I guess the world is slowly becoming more "homogenized"; many foreign foods, etc. are available worldwide. Great seeing your brother! Keep up the good work, and keep smiling!
As a 100% genuine multi-generational American I can say "hot dogs in a jar" is as un-American as it gets. When I think of meat in a jar it does not make me hungry (to put it nicely). A marketing trick there with that one.
Are they Frankfurters? We get Frankfurters in the UK in hot dogs.
It's just the way of preservation from before vacuum packaging was invented. They don't taste differently!
Like giant Vienna sausage, YUK.😝
@@TheSwedishRider Not sure how they taste; but meat in a jar is not a widespread American thing (at least not in modern America).
@@Joseph-oh6mo it's just sausages in a jar of water which was heated to kill all bacteria and to create a vacuum to seal the jar. As sausages are sealed themselves, it doesn't do anything to the taste. You wouldn't be able to tell the difference in a blind test. In addition, it's less plastic waste and glass jars will be recycled.
All of the sudden drops Elk Grove Village, 15 minutes from me lol
Me too! Well more like 20-30 minutes
"I like it, but I think I'd get sick if I ate too much of it"
Yep, it's American
Love your content and I had to laugh when you brought up Rocky Mountain Marshmallows from Elgin Illinois. So almost 1000 miles from the Rocky Mountains!
I love these episodes. Based on your video of your trip to Jungle Jim's, my wife an I made the 90 mile (one way) trip to get German foods and I discovered Kühne gherkins and really great sauerkraut. It is interesting to me to see what you can find in Munich.
People used to use marshmallow fluff to make a sandwich called a "fluff-a-nutter," which was a combination of marshmallow fluff and peanut butter. I thought these were amazing as a little American kid with a sweet tooth. Thankfully, my parents refused to buy it.
I’m in the Chicago area and I’ve never heard of or seen “burger sauce” by Heinz. Ever.
You need to expand your horizons!!
Yeah, never seen "burger sauce" though it might be the mustard that has the relish mixed in?
@@johnthomas2485 That's the hot dog relish. There at least used to be a ketchup/pickle relish combo, but would be labeled "Hamburger Relish".
I absolutely LOVE your insight into these two countries / cultures!
Heinz is a very German family that has their business centered in Pittsburgh, PA and has maintained a close to German product mix as has Snyder from someplace in Eastern Pennsylvania. Hot dogs, hamburgers, and less common saurkraut balls ( around Cleveland, OH) are German-American creations. My one grandmother's bread was like what you described. It had a chewy crust and more of a spongy texture than a doughy one. Recently listen to a video from a a baking expert out of some university in Kansas, I believe she was of German descent, who clarified that the typical American store bought bread is "sandwich loaf" as it is European bread that has been highly modified for sandwiches ( especially for spreading peanut butter on it) and for a longer shelf life as real bread spoils faster. Peanut butter especially gained ground during the Great Depression as it contained a lot of protein and was much cheaper than meat. During this period of time "Sandwhich Loaf", American bread, was created as a cheap compliment to cheap peanut butter. Personally, I call Sandwhich Loaf; Wonder Bread, which was a brand name at one time, for its a wonder that it is bread. Well after that video I discovered that it isn't real bread.( at least in my mind) Moving on from bread, high fructose corn syrup is a more modern creation in America that is super cheap, cheaper than cane or beet sugar, but extremely sweet product that many USA food processors use. (It is a sugar created in a laboratory) It is also a major contributor to weight gain, diabetes, and other health problems as it is like a super sugar on steroids. It is best to avoid it or limit your consumption of it. I am sure that in low enough quantities that it is not that bad but who doesn't like really sweet foods. Often, even machine dispensed meat sandwiches have large quantities of it. In America we are almost addicted to this product. Even American spaghetti sauce is sweet when compared to origan Italian home made sauce.
Wow, what a coincidence, the same day you posted this I went to the new LIDL store in the US that just opened nearby. I thought it would be small like Aldi, but it was much bigger and nicer with a huge operating bakery. It was medium US size with a typically German quirky selection of stuff that was kind of interesting. No coin cart fees and no bags for your stuff (which I find kind of gimmicky but that's another story).
I like that you put your brother in the video. Stay safe guys !!!
compared to your brother your accent is a lot more like "midwestern" , i havent realized it before :)
btw, johnnie walker is scottish whisky, double black and green label are two of my favorites actually
she has picked up a slight mid-west drawl
I've told her before that in videos she loses the German accent and sounds Murican. I still suspect she's now really a German.
I just bought two bottles of Double Black on sale. Best JW for the price IMO.
I think most people in the U.S. would think she was from the midwest if they didn't know better.
I hope her brother's English listening skills are up to snuff. Sister drags him onto camera. He puts in a few words in a good but clearly German accent, but then she spews out a few dozen words in reply at full speed in a Midwestern accent. 😅
Yay, elk grove village!
We just found out we are getting a German exchange student in August and she is a vegetarian. What types of US vegetarian foods to you recommend? Meat substitutes?
If you can find tempeh, it's way better than tofu. I'd eat it even if I stopped being a vegetarian.
I was an exchange student in the US and also vegetarian. Most of the time I was just happy eating the side dishes (potatos with vegetables, the stuffing at Thanksgiving etc.) and meatless options like cheese pizza, pasta with tomato sauce. But I was always super grateful when my host family bought meat substitutes too. It was more than 10 years ago so I am sure that there is a lot more available now.
I just got done watching Rick Steve’s Europe and he was talking about east and west Germany very interesting and all the struggles that happened.
Cool, dass dein Bruder dabei ist! 😊
Marshmallow Fluff is more popular in the American northeast. The fluffernutter sandwich, marshmallow fluff and peanut butter, is the proposed state sandwich of Massachusetts.
And is well known to kill off brain cells:)
Me and my brothers grew up eating fluffernutter sandwiches as a kid. Definitely a new england staple .
In most cities Brezeln cost now about 70 ct, sometimes even more than 1 Euro as in one bakery in Cologne
That's right! 75 or 80 Cent for a Brezel in a German Bakery. Bei Aldi, Lidl, Penny oder anderen Discounter ist es weniger. 35 oder 40 Cent. Ist aber ne andere Qualität.
Those "American" cookie brownies are rather tasty. Edit: Thousand Island dressing is actually an American salad dressing.
Marshmellow fluff is often utilized in making fudge. It changes the texture a bit. It's also easier to use in Rice Crispy treats or thinned with simple syrup and used as a topping for ice cream.
You guys are total babes 😍😂 must be a family thing 🖤
