12:20 when he gives Uyen the one with no sauce on it. My heart is just melting. I love that such a sweet, kind love exists in German BF for Uyen! I love their Love!!
It's all a sinister Plan. *does the Mr. Burns gesture* We German Men do this cooking and caring and such to make our Wifes get bigger before us so they can not complain when we grow fat later.
"In der aller größten Not, schmeckt die Wurst auch ohne Brot" made me crack up so hard😂 I've been told that so many times in my childhood. It basically translates to "In the biggest hardship the sausage is tasty even without bread."
thank you so much for translating! I'm personally with Uyen on this one: "I don't know what you're talking :)" I keep seeing comments about this though, thank you genuinely so much for clarifying!
@MrJueKa I know! That‘s what I tried to say! Apfelstrudel should not be served with cream. The only exception would be for me if it‘s served with vanilla ice. Then I would accept a little bit of whipped cream to make the melting ice more creamy. But for me, vanilla sauce (and no cream!) is a must with Apfelstrudel.
As a chef, watching GBF's techniques when he is cooking, I believe he is quite skilled at cooking. I would like to see you try these foods in a restaurant to see if it is just your preference or if GBF is a better cook than you think. I love how the two of you found love and are willing to share parts of each other's culture to make a blended culture that works for you. I just returned from 7 weeks in Vietnam, and I miss the food, but I love German food as well. Perhaps it is because I am a Canadian living in Mexico who often travels that I love so many different styles of food. Thank you for your content. You and your fiancé, make the world a better place.
German bf's cooking skills were MAJORLY undersold at the beginning of this video. 😂 I'm surprised and impressed! He baked the bread and the strudel! 😲🙌
You can buy pre-made bread rolls and just bake them up. You can also buy pre-made puff pastry. He made the filling himself so credit where credit's due.
he's very sweet but the dough for the bread and the Strudel were store bought! Same with the Knödel and store bought Knödel just taste really bad... I agree with Uyen, the meat balls were the best and actually made from scratch :)
You're talking about two of the easiest things to make. Seriously, bread is so easy. I can't even imagine you doing something like a yorkshire pudding or a french onion soup.
He actually seems like a really really good cook! It's just the pre-made packaged food that you didn't like, and it's usually saltier so it has a longer shelf life. Everything that German boyfriend made from scratch seemed like a hit!👏👏👏
I also hate parsley... It taste like dirt :D .. idk why many cousines used that... Even in Slovakia.. we put it as a decoration, but almost never eat it...
there was lot of room for improvement, it may got cut out, but bro didnt even taste the stuff he put on the potatoes, which is a no go if u work with vinegar :D
Heh he did not make the Strudel by himself ..only the filling which is super easy & Not time investing..?? - the dough was store bought and the other „dishes“ also didnt really look appetizing .. like the potato Salad and were easy to prepare, no cooking skills needed and able to make for any dummy🤦♀️ Y‘all seem to be terrible cooks if you are impressed by that, I think they both cant cook
Not really from scratch though ;) The red cabbage was from a glass, the Knödel were pre-made, the vanilla sauce aswell, the Apfelstrudel-dough... But I get what you are trying to say. He put a lot of effort in and that's lovely :) As a German though, I would say these were extremely simple dishes and if he were good at cooking he probably would have tried some more elaborate meals. But not at all I want to say anything against him - I think he is wonderful even without strong cooking skills :)
@voyance4elle as german especiallyt he knödel rotkohl thing was maximum I would cook xD This is absolutely never simple dish. simple dish is having a nudelauflauf where youchuck a package into water on raw noodles and put cheese on top and put into oven, that's simple!
@icohorsie You are so right! Even though it wasn't haute cuisine, it was still better than the stuff most people eat every day. He didn't go the easiest way - most Germans do not heat up/bake the bread in the oven, many hardly know what Pfifferlinge are and would simply buy a frozen Strudel. I'd say his cooking skills are somehwere in the middle, not bad, especially for his age and gender. Compared to my last boyfriend.. oh my. He would put puff pastries in water, because he thought they were noddles! That turned into a disgusting soup which he still ate! Horrible. And once he came home with a large leek, thinking he could eat it raw with some dip (he didn't even know the name).
I think German Boyfriend is a better cook than you give him credit for! All of the things you liked best, other than the salami, (the bread, meatball, strudel, and mushroom sauce) are things he made himself!
Heh he did not make the Strudel by himself ..only the filling which is super easy & Not time investing..?? - the dough was store bought and the other „dishes“ also didnt really look appetizing .. like the potato Salad and were easy to prepare, no cooking skills needed and able to make for any dummy🤦♀️ Y‘all seem to be terrible cooks if you are impressed by that, I think they both cant cook
Please try again. However go with mostly homemade. Parsley can have almost no flavor but garden grown is definitely much stronger than unknown dry green flakes in a bottle imo.
Uyen is both transparently honest (written all over her face 😅) and gracious. It makes her genuine and likable. And can we show some love and appreciation for the BF? That was A LOT of work.
I had to show this to my German-raised wife. she was salivating and extra hungry by the end, and we'd just had a big meal! you two are great, and I'm glad I found your stuff to see into all of this!
@@dejuren1367 Agreed, he put so much effort into the meals and honestly they looked delish. I don't think even a ''better'' cook could make her like German food. I think he did a fantastic job.
That's a very polite way of calling someone a picky eater. Tbh, I don't think I would like to cook for her, though I consider myself a decent enough cook. It's probably meant to be funny, but she comes across a bit ungrateful.
She did one of him eating her food, and he gave similar scores , he doesn't care for Vietnamese food all that much, but they both try to find things they can both enjoy from both sides.
I'd love to see German Boyfriend eat Vietnamese food for a day! Also, he did a really good job with the dishes! I don't think you give him enough credit!
I still thought "edible" as a compliment to German was a myth and people were overeacted until Uyen actually said that and German boyfriend was in joy hearing that😂 In fact that is the only words that he acknowledged as "greatest compliment"
7:50 "We're out of gloves, but don't worry his hands are clean." I noticed you apologize similarly for handling raw meat without a gloves in the most recent video where you visit home. And as an OCD guy who's worked in a few kitchens, I just kind of wanted to reassure you that a health inspector wouldn't care. Because raw meat is already presumed a more dangerous contaminant than your hand. Anyone who complains about it in the comments would puke their eyes out if they saw the inner workings of a restaurant.
Right. Gloves are to protect your hands, not the food. In some cases gloves are gross too...in thr kitchen I worked at we had multiple incidents where a new box of gloves smelled super bad like BO 🤢
I don't understand why many people use gloves when they're cooking. Just wash your hands thoroughly with soap and lukewarm water and everything is fine.
The bread incident almost broke the German boyfriend! Honestly, I would eat all of every meal he made. His joy when gets praise is priceless. I've never had a knodel but I have had a canoodle. LOL!
It depends on the family's personal traditions whether they eat to meals - or even three 😂 - meals a day which mostly contain bread with something on it. But in my family, especially on the weekend, it's quite common to cook two warm meals a day. Well, I guess for most people here bread is a convenient food option for when they are in school or at their job - it's easy to take with you from home in lunchboxes 👍
I’m an American from the south (Texas.) My mother’s maiden name was Rouse (Americanized form of Raus.) I see so much German influence in our food down here. We love our potato salad, sausage with sauerkraut, bread in every meal, thick broth/sausage gravies, lots of cheese on everything, etc. But we also love our spicy food, as we have a huge latino and asian presence. Yay for diverse cuisine!
@JustTimon Deutschland ist mit 2.100.000 Tonnen jährlich (2010) der größte Käsehersteller in der Europäischen Union. Allgäuer Bergkäse, Allgäuer Emmentaler, Altenburger Ziegenkäse, Bavaria blu, Harzer Käse, Hessischer Handkäse, Holsteiner Tilsiter, Kochkäse...Pro-Kopf-Verbrauch von Käse 24,6 Kilogramm in 2022 in Deutschland 😂🧀
I m an Indian, so I don't understand German or even Viet food but for me this vlog was more about their sweet, adorable chemistry, love over anything and everything. Cooking and feeding is a supreme act of love and should be taken like that only.❤❤❤
To be fair, Knödel aren't really meant to be eaten on their own. They usually act as a sponge to sop up gravy or as a way to make soups more filling. They tend to be a bit bland, because the flavor is supposed to come from whatever you're eating them with.
Ich hatte das erste Mal Semmelknödeln im Kindergarten und seitdem nie wieder. Jegliche Art von Knödeln erzeugt Ekel in mir, obwohl ich mir sicher bin, dass einige Knödelrezepte mir auch schmecken würden. Das Trauma war wohl zu gross 😅
Could Vietnamese and German cuisine be any more opposite to each other? 😂 I’m glad you gave German food another try Uyen - what a great way to grow closer to GB’s heart. ❤️
@juliaxsol Spätzle are on their own very inoffensive regarding the taste. You got shit Spätzle is really all I can say. If you wanna try Spätzle at some point again I recommend making it your own, homemade spätzle always taste better than store bought
Goodness, this was just a joy to watch! The healthy relationship, the funny banter, the interesting food, all of it is lovely! Thank you so much, Uyen!
Aber Uyen dankt es ihm irgendwie nicht so wirklich, egal was er kocht, allein die Mühe ist es wert, egal ob ihr immer alles schmeckt oder nicht. Umgekehrt schmeckt ihm ja auch nicht immer alles, was sie kocht.
@yanahxoxo9878 ich auch ... außer Butter mit Knoblauch, boa ne, geht gar nicht ... ich vermisse frische Croissants mit Nutella und leckeren heißen Kakao mit Sahne zum Frühstück
Your videos bring me so much joy… you’re a wholesome and hilarious creator!!! Thank you for sharing yours and your boyfriend’s personality with the world! ❤
Bake-off we call it, and it's common all over Europe. Basically, it's ready made bread, that are either frozen or in a vacuum pack, but you have to bake them in the oven yourself. And Ikea vanilla sauce is sub par by Swedish standards. We have more better brands of ready made vanilla custard up here. My favourite is Ekströms. That I can eat all by itself. It's made with real vanilla pods.
@BylineBelife I actually think bake-off bread is better depending on what time you go to the bakery because it always tastes better when it's somewhat hot. Ofcourse a good bakery in the morning stays the best but a baguette you'll need for the evening is better when you bake it off at home because the one you buy at a store or bakery is baked in the morning and will be too hard in the evening.
I immigrated to the US in my late forties. And within a year, I suffered from severe bread-withdrawal-syndrome *snorts with laughter* Germans are kinda obsessed with bread. It's eaten with just about every meal (sometimes served as a side, sometimes it's the main event) and I can't think of a day in my life when I would rather NOT eat a bit of bread. German bread overall is a lot more dense than what you get in the US, it's constructed to support all the stuff that goes on top. The variety of bread in the Germanic countries (Germany, Switzerland, Austria, parts of Italy and France ... and probably some more) is stunning. From delicate white breads to chunky dark Pumpernickel, rolls, loafs, pretzels ... when you can imagine it, some baker there is already selling it. It's eaten with any kind of topic you want. The most basic is butter, and nothing is as comforting as eating fresh, warm bread with way too much butter. From what I understand (from following some Mexican cooking channels), Germans love bread like Mexicans do tortillas. I learned how to bake my own sourdough out of desperation. And got my American husband addicted to it as well ;) I'll cut some slices into squares and serve with several different toppings (e.g. cream cheese, home made garlic butter, cheese, sopressata, salami, ham, olives, tomatoes, onions, pepperoncini, pickles ...).
I am pretty sure it would feel like "tasteless" to you as most Germans would feel the Mexican Breakfast beeing "inedible", too. I started to eat Breakfasts from other Cultures for some Time, and it was hard to get to the "German Breakfast" back everytime - especially after the "Asian Times" Regardless if it was Korean, Chinese or Japanese Breakfast, it was really hard to go back as either it was completeley tasteless or tasted "salty" and nothing else - some (as the "Frischkäse") even was tasting like rotten. I can not say for sure for Mexican Food as I never had authentic (aka made by a Mexican Mom) Food, but for what I made for myself according to what I thought of beeing "authentic", it was hard to get used to it - Stomach was really rebelling the first 2 Weeks until I got used to it - and the Taste was not the best at first as well until I got used to it - and now I love it.
A mi me encanto ese desayuno. Aunque en Argentina generalmente es solo tostadas con queso blanco y mermelada o facturas (pastrys) el fin de semana. Acompañado de mate, café o te. Nada mas.
Go by heart! As long as the right ingredients are in, you’ll be fine. The amount of seasoning is very individual and depends actually on how salty you eat. For every other kind of spice: Don’t go overboard! There mostly just support and shouldn’t be the main-flavor like in other more strong, flavorful cuisines, like Indian. German cuisine is mainly… hearty and umami, I’d say 🤔.
@pflaumina definitely some french insight within german food cuisine, it's about the flavours you have and not going overboard anything.. a lot of parsley is great in some dishes, but like you say, putting a lot of it in stuff like knoedel or the frikadelle destroys what it is supposed to taste like. it's why i love italian and french cuisine, they're true masters of letting the few ingredients shine or not destroy the main flavor base of said dishes. i think that's the case all over europe but sadly food culture has gone really bad in germany the last 100 + years
You are looking for Frikadellen (meat balls), Kartoffelsalat (potato salad), Apfelstrudel, Leberkäse (but that's usually not made at home, usually you buy IT somewhere, because of the equipment you would need to make it), Semmelknödel (dumplings), Pilzrahmsauce (mushroom sauce) and Rotkraut (takes a long time to cook, maybe you can get it canned and you add some spices, apple, Red wine, etc to give some more flavour) For the Frikadellen you need minced meat (50% pork 50% beef, WITHOUT being pre salted/spices, IT get's to salty/spicy, when you cook it), salt, pepper (freshly grounded), onion, mustard, eggs, old and dry bread (water to soak it in), majoran or oregano, parsley, maybe a Spice Mix you like. Mix it together with your hand and taste it before cooking. It should be a ratio of 500g minced meat, 1,5-2 of the small breads, and 2 Eggs. They should be kinda soft and "fluffy" after cooking. The Semmelknödel are made from old and dry bread too. I don't know the ratio of the ingredients but you need milk, eggs, ham cubes (boil it shortly in water to Take some of the saltiness away), parsley, Salt and freshly grounded nutmeg. I think there is a sweet Version too 🤔. If the "dough" ist ready you put the Semmelknödel in mildly boiling water. If they float atop, they should be done. Be very careful forming the Semmelknödel. If you Made a mistake they will fall apart. For the potato salad there are thousands of recipes. I think each Family has their own 😅 The mushroom sauce is quite simple. First clean the mushrooms (Champignons or Pfifferlinge), cut the Like you prefer them, finely dice an onion. Heat up Butter in a pan until it starts to get brown, put the mushrooms in and stir fry them a bit. Add the onions and wait til they turn glassy. Add a bit of flour (~teaspoon). Add a Shot of White wine or better brandy (be careful, the Brandy can burn). Let it reduce for a bit. Add a cup of cream and wait for it to get nice and thick to your liking. Taste it and add Salt, Pepper and Parsley to it. The Rotkraut needs a Lot of work and time. It's usually made in large quantities and Frozen after that, so you can use IT, when you need it. My father was a chef and makes it once a year mostly for christmas. He cooks it with the fat of goose, duck or pork, depending on which one he has around 😅 you need rotkraut, apples, rice, applejuice, red wine, cloves, cinnamon (whole), bayleaf, Salt and Onion. He sears the Rotkraut with the onions first, adds the apples, juice, Red wine, dry rice, etc and lets it cook on Low Heat for hours. You can adjust the colour of the Rotkraut with acids (red) like vinegar or Lemon juice and bases (purple) Like sugar or natron. That's why it's called Rotkraut (Red kraut) and Blaukraut (blue Kraut) in different regions, but the blue is more Like a purple.
Having lived in Germany and having tried their food and now living in a place where there’s a lot Vietnamese and therefore a lot of Vietnamese restaurants, I know how very different the two cuisines are. I love seeing how the two of you try each others foods and find something you can enjoy together.
"sometimes" even as a german, there are dishes i can only eat once or twice a year ( like pork knuckle). I love grease and dripping pig fat, but if you don't, german food can be torture xD
You guys should do a collab with a German cooking channel, and maybe do a head to head of German fiance/boyfriend and the other person to see whose food Uyen will tolerate best (maybe even like?)
MAX has already done quite a lot of videos were he cooks for different RUclipsrs. All of them are called: "Ein Tag persönlicher Koch für ..." He also prepares for each person individually and does not just cook random dishes but tries to please each persons taste - as you should do as a personal cook 😊 While he still introduces the RUclipsrs to new culinary experiences 👍
If cooking isn’t his strongest skill, I must be a total failure. I think he did very well and appeared to accept criticism with grace. Uyen, you’re a foodie and I admire your willingness to try new dishes!
Watching this again, and I realised just how many sounds come from Adam and north of the border. I was fully prepared to see tiny, nerdy things! I wonder if German boyfriend is a fan.
I'm not German - I'm an American living in Poland but the food looked pretty good to me! Seemed like a lot of food!!! This video was very fun!!! German Boyfriend gets a star!
A lot of German recipes are very popular in the U.S. but since they were often popularized by Jewish immigrants from Europe, most people in the U.S. consider them Jewish food. Before moving to Berlin, I always thought that matso balls or gefilte fish were exclusively Jewish. It turned out that they are staple food in Germany, although Jews often give them a particular twist. But I find both recipes equally delicious.
@johnsarkissian5519 so you live in Germany right now? If you're interested there is also also a lot ot Yiddish in German language and German in Yiddish language it's really interested. So if you speak and/or understand German I can send you a link that shows all the parallels it's so cool to see how interwoven the German culture is and its also in other countries. The reason why it became that way might be tragic but the good that came out of it is still beautiful.
@lolguhrt I moved to Germany from the U.S. I lived in Berlin for 6 years but unfortunately I no longer live in Germany. I’ve been living in Canada since 2009. I am quite familiar with Yiddish too. I have watched entire interviews in Yiddish on RUclips and was able to understand most of what was being said.
Compared to Polish food, because that's where I come from, unfortunately German food is not the best😬. Especially sausages... always white and have a strange taste, but sometimes I find something that I like😅
Damn this couple attachment style is so healthy. I can’t imagine ever telling my partner something they made is a 4/10. I would just lie and say it’s delicious, and then when they ask can they make it again, I would say, I’m in the mood for something else. Lol:
She is honest in a respectful way. I mean he doesn't like her Vietnamese cooking either which is why they eat seperately.... and as a German, I know I wouldn't like most of what he cooked either.
He showed you how to make it, 500g mince, 1 onion, diced. Then one roll, soaked. 1 egg. For the seasoning, mustard, smoke salt, orégano, paprika and pepper, Maggi sauce all 1 tsp. Mix all together, then form into parties (wet your hands first, otherwise the mixture will stick to your hands). Then frying until done. Serve with potato salad, or just boiled potatoes.
I think a US meatloaf is the better equivalent, since it's not a ball, and with bread and eggs. Balls you can only make smaller, cause the heat need to meet the core. But the other thing in the oven, would also translate to meatloaf. It's just a finer grain.
I love this! Vietnamese food is so very different from German food so there is definitely a learning curve. I think that the things Uyen liked the most, German Boyfriend made from scratch and the things she wasn't a big fan of were pre-packaged, right? Seems like German Boyfriend may be a better cook then Uyen says! I am curious about the meatball too! Going to have to find the recipe for that and I need that apple grater thing!
Id recommend using the ingredients he did and just measure by heart. I dont know any germans that actually use a recipe for those haha. Just fry the first one and taste it, the put more stuff into the raw mixture if needed. Also before frying, press them between your hands so they dont break :) Good luck and bon appetit!
It’s funny that Uyen said the strudel tasted like Christmas, because my mom’s side of the family is Austrian and strudel is one of our Christmas traditions! Even looking at a strudel gets me in the Christmas spirit lmao Granted, we’ve never eaten it with vanilla sauce, I’d imagine that would affect the texture and I can see why Uyen prefers it without!
GB did a great job! Dutch cuisine is pretty similar, and the way he prepared all the dishes is above average! And if a guy makes Apfelstrüdel from scratch for you, he's a keeper!❤👍👍
You guys should do a series now where German boyfriend makes various different German foods for you. But Uyen also has to make Viet food for him. She can do com tam, banh xeo, banh cuon, cha gio (wrapped with all the veggies/herbs and fish sauce!), pho, bun thit nuong, bun cha, banh mi, bo luc lac, bo kho, etc. Uyen, I know you think you're a great cook, but maybe look over some youtube videos from other Viets and then experiment on him. Continue to encourage him to cook so he can get better.
Well done German bf and Uyen for both getting out of your comfort zone and experience new things together ☺️💛 thank you for sharing your experiences with us 🙏🏽
I’m so glad I’m not a picky eater ! 😂 From what I’ve seen on the channel, both of them are super picky and it’s quite funny. It’s kinda sad that neither of them likes the other cultures food tho 😢
I won't say he is picky eater if he didn't want eating fish in the morning or he can't tolerate spicy food. Didn't he travel with her to vietnam and eat there? He ate all the food he could eat. It is the fishy stinky food that she eats in 3 meals. Well, that is a drastaclly different food. I think she didn't try yet to find a ground with German food yet she is in the country for 4 years. It is her time to try and explore german food even for 2 weeks or so .
... Compared to my family and friend group both of them seem like omnivores who don't care what they eat. It has seriously become easier to list the things a person can eat rather than the once a person can't eat since you only up listening ~20 items
Her face when you said “we could try this again, there are more German dishes to make.” YES - I want to see MORE!!! 😭😭😭
I watch this with my mom, and when we saw him make the dessert, my mom was like "he's making her STRUDEL? Oh he LOVES her"
Awww
THATS SO SWEET
That's so cute!
AHahahaha Real !
❤
8:18 the bowl of pho hiding off to the side 😂
12:20 when he gives Uyen the one with no sauce on it. My heart is just melting. I love that such a sweet, kind love exists in German BF for Uyen! I love their Love!!
German Fiancé is a partner from anyone’s dreams. He is so caring, loving and respectful.
The love between the two is so cute!
So am I!
As a German myself, he’d be a little bit TOO German for me haha. But I agree they seem to be made for each other
Even he is her fiance, his name is German boyfriend 😂 Don't call him German fiance it is confusing😂
It's all a sinister Plan.
*does the Mr. Burns gesture*
We German Men do this cooking and caring and such to make our Wifes get bigger before us so they can not complain when we grow fat later.
He's giving me unrealistic expectations xD
"In der aller größten Not, schmeckt die Wurst auch ohne Brot" made me crack up so hard😂 I've been told that so many times in my childhood. It basically translates to "In the biggest hardship the sausage is tasty even without bread."
thank you so much for translating! I'm personally with Uyen on this one: "I don't know what you're talking :)" I keep seeing comments about this though, thank you genuinely so much for clarifying!
🥰🤣
Except that it also rhymes in German 😉
German BF - 11/10 for giving you HIS apple strudel without cream! 💜
This was a great video, lovely to see and learn German dishes at home
Only when Apfelstrudel is served with vanilla ice, I accept a little bit of cream with it.
This Austrian rejects that this was an Apfelstrudel. 2/10 for Authenticy - 10/10 for a German BF cooking for his sweety
Try the frozen one only from Coppenrath & Wiese from the supermarkets, it`s very good. it`s the same with other products of this brand.
@klarasee806 Apfelstrudel is served with vanilla sauce as the standard.
@MrJueKa I know! That‘s what I tried to say! Apfelstrudel should not be served with cream.
The only exception would be for me if it‘s served with vanilla ice. Then I would accept a little bit of whipped cream to make the melting ice more creamy.
But for me, vanilla sauce (and no cream!) is a must with Apfelstrudel.
As a chef, watching GBF's techniques when he is cooking, I believe he is quite skilled at cooking. I would like to see you try these foods in a restaurant to see if it is just your preference or if GBF is a better cook than you think. I love how the two of you found love and are willing to share parts of each other's culture to make a blended culture that works for you. I just returned from 7 weeks in Vietnam, and I miss the food, but I love German food as well. Perhaps it is because I am a Canadian living in Mexico who often travels that I love so many different styles of food. Thank you for your content. You and your fiancé, make the world a better place.
German bf's cooking skills were MAJORLY undersold at the beginning of this video. 😂 I'm surprised and impressed! He baked the bread and the strudel! 😲🙌
The bread comes frozen and you bake it at Home 🥰
You can buy pre-made bread rolls and just bake them up. You can also buy pre-made puff pastry. He made the filling himself so credit where credit's due.
Which both tastes worse than buying it from an actual bakery or making it complete by urself.
he's very sweet but the dough for the bread and the Strudel were store bought! Same with the Knödel and store bought Knödel just taste really bad... I agree with Uyen, the meat balls were the best and actually made from scratch :)
You're talking about two of the easiest things to make. Seriously, bread is so easy. I can't even imagine you doing something like a yorkshire pudding or a french onion soup.
Uyen is like Ponyo with ham. 😂 And German boyfriend losing it over how Uyen was ripping the bread. 💀
😂😂😂😂😂 I’ve never thought of it that way but you’re righttttt
@uyenninhit was clear that you don't slice bread very much.
Uyen needs the lidl bread slicer at home 💀
Like me ✋️💀
Let's start a petition to get Uyen a bread slicer.
@EMNstar Or just a decent bread knife. The knife she is using is meant for putting butter or other spreads on your bread, not for cutting it.
He actually seems like a really really good cook! It's just the pre-made packaged food that you didn't like, and it's usually saltier so it has a longer shelf life. Everything that German boyfriend made from scratch seemed like a hit!👏👏👏
True
also not liking parsley is a major difficulty. It's what I would consider the central herb in German cuisine
I also hate parsley... It taste like dirt :D .. idk why many cousines used that... Even in Slovakia.. we put it as a decoration, but almost never eat it...
there was lot of room for improvement, it may got cut out, but bro didnt even taste the stuff he put on the potatoes, which is a no go if u work with vinegar :D
Heh he did not make the Strudel by himself ..only the filling which is super easy & Not time investing..?? - the dough was store bought and the other „dishes“ also didnt really look appetizing .. like the potato Salad and were easy to prepare, no cooking skills needed and able to make for any dummy🤦♀️
Y‘all seem to be terrible cooks if you are impressed by that, I think they both cant cook
2:55 "I don't know what are you talking" 😭😂
Uyen: German boyfriend is not the best cook...
German boyfriend: * Makes 20 different German dishes from scratch *
Exactly!
Not really from scratch though ;) The red cabbage was from a glass, the Knödel were pre-made, the vanilla sauce aswell, the Apfelstrudel-dough... But I get what you are trying to say. He put a lot of effort in and that's lovely :) As a German though, I would say these were extremely simple dishes and if he were good at cooking he probably would have tried some more elaborate meals. But not at all I want to say anything against him - I think he is wonderful even without strong cooking skills :)
@voyance4elle as german especiallyt he knödel rotkohl thing was maximum I would cook xD This is absolutely never simple dish. simple dish is having a nudelauflauf where youchuck a package into water on raw noodles and put cheese on top and put into oven, that's simple!
@icohorsie OK then we have a different definition of the word "cooking" :D
@icohorsie You are so right! Even though it wasn't haute cuisine, it was still better than the stuff most people eat every day. He didn't go the easiest way - most Germans do not heat up/bake the bread in the oven, many hardly know what Pfifferlinge are and would simply buy a frozen Strudel. I'd say his cooking skills are somehwere in the middle, not bad, especially for his age and gender. Compared to my last boyfriend.. oh my. He would put puff pastries in water, because he thought they were noddles! That turned into a disgusting soup which he still ate! Horrible. And once he came home with a large leek, thinking he could eat it raw with some dip (he didn't even know the name).
I think German Boyfriend is a better cook than you give him credit for! All of the things you liked best, other than the salami, (the bread, meatball, strudel, and mushroom sauce) are things he made himself!
Especially making Apfelstrudel without the dough ripping apart is quite a challenge. :D
Her cooking skills are not good 😂❤
Heh he did not make the Strudel by himself ..only the filling which is super easy & Not time investing..?? - the dough was store bought and the other „dishes“ also didnt really look appetizing .. like the potato Salad and were easy to prepare, no cooking skills needed and able to make for any dummy🤦♀️
Y‘all seem to be terrible cooks if you are impressed by that, I think they both cant cook
The bread comes frozen
Please try again. However go with mostly homemade. Parsley can have almost no flavor but garden grown is definitely much stronger than unknown dry green flakes in a bottle imo.
the way he calls her sweetie, its adorable 😭
And she calls him sweet tea. 😄
It sounds like he's saying "sweet pea", which is just as adorable!
I love how her English has a German accent
Uyen is both transparently honest (written all over her face 😅) and gracious. It makes her genuine and likable. And can we show some love and appreciation for the BF? That was A LOT of work.
👍🏻☺️🥰
Credits to German Boyfriend. He put love as ingredient in every meal he made!
I had to show this to my German-raised wife. she was salivating and extra hungry by the end, and we'd just had a big meal! you two are great, and I'm glad I found your stuff to see into all of this!
I'm traumatized from watching her cutting that roll.
😂😂😂
"Eiersollbruchstellenverursacher" actually sent me lmao
Exactly. Why go with "Eierguillotine" or "Eierköpfer" when you can create such a precise neologism? LOL
I ain't reading allat
Actually its called EierSCHALENsollbruchstellenverursacher, he missed one word
What does it mean in English?

Your boyfriend is doing a wonderful job at trying to cook for your specific tastes.
@@dejuren1367 Agreed, he put so much effort into the meals and honestly they looked delish. I don't think even a ''better'' cook could make her like German food. I think he did a fantastic job.
@@dejuren1367she is perfectly awful to him.
That's a very polite way of calling someone a picky eater. Tbh, I don't think I would like to cook for her, though I consider myself a decent enough cook. It's probably meant to be funny, but she comes across a bit ungrateful.
She did one of him eating her food, and he gave similar scores , he doesn't care for Vietnamese food all that much, but they both try to find things they can both enjoy from both sides.
@thedarkside7508 The boyfriend also doesn't care for Vietnamese food and doesn't like seafood either. He's equally picky
I'd love to see German Boyfriend eat Vietnamese food for a day! Also, he did a really good job with the dishes! I don't think you give him enough credit!
Agreed!!
Me too. I could imagin, that he would only eat bread all day, the day after. Or at least nothing warm/hot.
There’s another video on her channel about German bf living like her Vietnamese mom for a day where he eats only Vietnamese food. Really great video!
They did a video of german boyfeiend eating vietnamese food Uyen cooked for him@lemurkirsche7891
@ioanaschifirnet3814did he like the Vietnamese food?
That's no applestrudel, 'tschuldigung, also wirklich!
A+ for trying!! Both to Uyen for eating and German BF for cooking ❤
I still thought "edible" as a compliment to German was a myth and people were overeacted until Uyen actually said that and German boyfriend was in joy hearing that😂 In fact that is the only words that he acknowledged as "greatest compliment"
I think in this case he was happy because actually Uyen often says that German food is not edible.
I mean, that's the most important part hahaha
We Germans don't tend to exaggerate our compliments. For example, "mmh, good" means really yummy in English.
7:50 "We're out of gloves, but don't worry his hands are clean."
I noticed you apologize similarly for handling raw meat without a gloves in the most recent video where you visit home. And as an OCD guy who's worked in a few kitchens, I just kind of wanted to reassure you that a health inspector wouldn't care. Because raw meat is already presumed a more dangerous contaminant than your hand.
Anyone who complains about it in the comments would puke their eyes out if they saw the inner workings of a restaurant.
The rule applies to all food that is not ready to eat just wash your hands before and especially after
Right. Gloves are to protect your hands, not the food. In some cases gloves are gross too...in thr kitchen I worked at we had multiple incidents where a new box of gloves smelled super bad like BO 🤢
I don't understand why many people use gloves when they're cooking. Just wash your hands thoroughly with soap and lukewarm water and everything is fine.
@rouvenr1414 I use gloves because I hate when food sticks to my skin.
Why to use gloves in your own kitchen anyway?
"I would like the recipe" "Iwill contact you" - aah you are so cute and funny
Well, I'm ready to have a German food day in my house. I thought everything looked great. Please, please do this again!🤤
The bread incident almost broke the German boyfriend! Honestly, I would eat all of every meal he made. His joy when gets praise is priceless. I've never had a knodel but I have had a canoodle. LOL!
DAMN I'm only 45 seconds in and she's just straight up roasting him 😂
I just googled the egg opener and yes the name is VERY long.
Uyen checking for expiration date and German boyfriend's panic is so funny 😂 4:19
I love how German boyfriend made you two warm meals! I was concerned when I read the title lol
It depends on the family's personal traditions whether they eat to meals - or even three 😂 - meals a day which mostly contain bread with something on it. But in my family, especially on the weekend, it's quite common to cook two warm meals a day. Well, I guess for most people here bread is a convenient food option for when they are in school or at their job - it's easy to take with you from home in lunchboxes 👍
Your boyfriend put a lot of effort and time into the dishes presented 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡 Hats off to you kind sir 🙌🏽
“Let’s call for the big boss. SWEET TEA!”
I’m an American from the south (Texas.) My mother’s maiden name was Rouse (Americanized form of Raus.) I see so much German influence in our food down here. We love our potato salad, sausage with sauerkraut, bread in every meal, thick broth/sausage gravies, lots of cheese on everything, etc. But we also love our spicy food, as we have a huge latino and asian presence. Yay for diverse cuisine!
"Raus" is a perfect last name for jokes :D
Isn’t it lovely? 😊 I live over by New Braunfels and I LOVE the mix of cuisine over here.
You dont have a Latino and Asian presence. The Mexicans have german and asian presence. Do not forget whose land you r living on. Mexican
@JustTimon Deutschland ist mit 2.100.000 Tonnen jährlich (2010) der größte Käsehersteller in der Europäischen Union.

@JustTimon”Besides… I don’t think we use cheese anywhere”… You’re joking, right?
I'm not very familiar with German food but after seeing this I've realized I eat a lot of it 😂
Same!
Where do you live? :)
Two people from different parts of the world with the same sense of humor…it’s the best! thanks for sharing !
Parsley is in EVERYTHING 😂❤
I m an Indian, so I don't understand German or even Viet food but for me this vlog was more about their sweet, adorable chemistry, love over anything and everything. Cooking and feeding is a supreme act of love and should be taken like that only.❤❤❤
German saying: "Love goes through the stomach" / Liebe geht durch den Magen. I think every nation has a similar saying. 🥘🫶
i love indian food but my austrian stomach says no... no regret when i eat indian food
@mariosoadfanlol
I am American but Indian food is my favorite. Half my ancestors are German but I don't think that I would like German food.
i guess it all comes down to what you are used to eat@johnnyearp52
To be fair, Knödel aren't really meant to be eaten on their own. They usually act as a sponge to sop up gravy or as a way to make soups more filling. They tend to be a bit bland, because the flavor is supposed to come from whatever you're eating them with.
except if you fry them. cut the cooked Knödel in slices, toss them in a pan and you got yourself a meal for the gods.
Yeah, they're like matzah balls or mochi, they're only good when they're swimming in the soup/sauce you have them with.
Ich hatte das erste Mal Semmelknödeln im Kindergarten und seitdem nie wieder. Jegliche Art von Knödeln erzeugt Ekel in mir, obwohl ich mir sicher bin, dass einige Knödelrezepte mir auch schmecken würden. Das Trauma war wohl zu gross 😅
Und in einer ordentlichen (Gemüse-)Suppe gekocht, für den Geschmack, nicht in einfachem Wasser!
@andreasmuller693 ich finde manche schmecken super gut von den packungen. auch halb und halb knödel. kenne selbstgemachte die schmecken mir nie so gut
Could Vietnamese and German cuisine be any more opposite to each other? 😂 I’m glad you gave German food another try Uyen - what a great way to grow closer to GB’s heart. ❤️
She's wearing her robe like it's bedtime😅
As a German, I definitely recommend to anyone to try that Mushroom-Sauce with Spätzle. Absolutely divine.
@@lw6981 YES I second that
Yes to homemade spatzele! Delicious mushroom sauce. Yum yum
Omfg i did try that spatzle thing while living in Swizterland... Never ever in my life tasted anything as gross as that
@juliaxsol Spätzle are on their own very inoffensive regarding the taste. You got shit Spätzle is really all I can say. If you wanna try Spätzle at some point again I recommend making it your own, homemade spätzle always taste better than store bought
Goodness, this was just a joy to watch! The healthy relationship, the funny banter, the interesting food, all of it is lovely! Thank you so much, Uyen!
Oha, da hat sich der German BF ja echt viel Mühe mit dem Essen gemacht, der Apfelstrudel sieht echt gut aus :D
Ja und sie stochert darin rum als wär es der ekelhafteste Krankenhausfraß der Welt. Ich frag mich wie er es mit ihr aushält.
Aber Uyen dankt es ihm irgendwie nicht so wirklich, egal was er kocht, allein die Mühe ist es wert, egal ob ihr immer alles schmeckt oder nicht. Umgekehrt schmeckt ihm ja auch nicht immer alles, was sie kocht.
Ich würde einfach alles essen, ja. Jetzt hab ich so hunger. 😂
@yanahxoxo9878 ich auch ... außer Butter mit Knoblauch, boa ne, geht gar nicht ... ich vermisse frische Croissants mit Nutella und leckeren heißen Kakao mit Sahne zum Frühstück
Dafür waren das die trockensten laugenstangen die ich je gesehen habe 😂 der rest sah richtig gut aus!
He just prepared breakfast all the stuffs from supermarket but didn't cook it for sure😅
Your videos bring me so much joy… you’re a wholesome and hilarious creator!!! Thank you for sharing yours and your boyfriend’s personality with the world! ❤
This makes me think whenever Uyen starts to lose an argument with German Fiance, she goes "I bring people joy!" to bolster her case
If your parsley has no taste, you must be eating the wrong kind 😅
He put a great effort. Such a lovely man ❤
I am with Uyen about knodel 😂
He baked the bread himself... wow!
I don’t think he made it, he just popped it in the oven
Bake-off we call it, and it's common all over Europe. Basically, it's ready made bread, that are either frozen or in a vacuum pack, but you have to bake them in the oven yourself. And Ikea vanilla sauce is sub par by Swedish standards. We have more better brands of ready made vanilla custard up here. My favourite is Ekströms. That I can eat all by itself. It's made with real vanilla pods.
He baked it himself but not the dough probably. u can buy bread dough almost everywhere in europe
@BylineBelife I actually think bake-off bread is better depending on what time you go to the bakery because it always tastes better when it's somewhat hot. Ofcourse a good bakery in the morning stays the best but a baguette you'll need for the evening is better when you bake it off at home because the one you buy at a store or bakery is baked in the morning and will be too hard in the evening.
NÖ! He bought ready baked and just finished it baking and that‘s it, don‘t you guys have that in your countries as well???
We need another video of german bf making more german food! He looks like a good cook :p
"The best thing I had eaten today" is a very German way to say that everything else was extreme bad while this is just bad :)
😂
Edible. It was Edible. 😁😁
@josephteller9715 no. this you say when something is very very good
Tipp an den Koch Zwiebeln blanchieren für den Salat
As a Mexican im not sure how to feel about the breakfast, but i LOVE! the way the interact with each other and how open she is to try again lol
I immigrated to the US in my late forties. And within a year, I suffered from severe bread-withdrawal-syndrome *snorts with laughter*
Germans are kinda obsessed with bread. It's eaten with just about every meal (sometimes served as a side, sometimes it's the main event) and I can't think of a day in my life when I would rather NOT eat a bit of bread.
German bread overall is a lot more dense than what you get in the US, it's constructed to support all the stuff that goes on top. The variety of bread in the Germanic countries (Germany, Switzerland, Austria, parts of Italy and France ... and probably some more) is stunning. From delicate white breads to chunky dark Pumpernickel, rolls, loafs, pretzels ... when you can imagine it, some baker there is already selling it.
It's eaten with any kind of topic you want. The most basic is butter, and nothing is as comforting as eating fresh, warm bread with way too much butter. From what I understand (from following some Mexican cooking channels), Germans love bread like Mexicans do tortillas.
I learned how to bake my own sourdough out of desperation. And got my American husband addicted to it as well ;) I'll cut some slices into squares and serve with several different toppings (e.g. cream cheese, home made garlic butter, cheese, sopressata, salami, ham, olives, tomatoes, onions, pepperoncini, pickles ...).
I am pretty sure it would feel like "tasteless" to you as most Germans would feel the Mexican Breakfast beeing "inedible", too.
I started to eat Breakfasts from other Cultures for some Time, and it was hard to get to the "German Breakfast" back everytime - especially after the "Asian Times"
Regardless if it was Korean, Chinese or Japanese Breakfast, it was really hard to go back as either it was completeley tasteless or tasted "salty" and nothing else - some (as the "Frischkäse") even was tasting like rotten.
I can not say for sure for Mexican Food as I never had authentic (aka made by a Mexican Mom) Food, but for what I made for myself according to what I thought of beeing "authentic", it was hard to get used to it - Stomach was really rebelling the first 2 Weeks until I got used to it - and the Taste was not the best at first as well until I got used to it - and now I love it.
El pan y los encurtidos te los paso pero el huevo hervido no es de mi gusto 😅
A mi me encanto ese desayuno. Aunque en Argentina generalmente es solo tostadas con queso blanco y mermelada o facturas (pastrys) el fin de semana. Acompañado de mate, café o te. Nada mas.
Yo soy de la CDMX y me encantaría ese tipo de desayuno, me gusta mucho el pan, el queso, los encurtidos y los huevos hervidos
He probably just throws the food together when cooking for himself but went all out for Uyen ❤
dont understate your cooking abilities I think you are a very good cook!
German Boyfriend is definitely a great cook! Everything is freshly made from scratch. A great future husband 👏👏👍👍
That “swee-tieeeee” is too adorable. 1:32
There should be a video where he cooks German food from his grandmother's recipes
Definitely😅
"In der Not schmeckt die Wurst auch ohne Brot!"😂
I'm Irish and I'm with German bf on the food front. It all looked delicious! Any chance of getting his recipes?
Which one(s)? I'll try to search some for you.
Go by heart! As long as the right ingredients are in, you’ll be fine. The amount of seasoning is very individual and depends actually on how salty you eat. For every other kind of spice: Don’t go overboard! There mostly just support and shouldn’t be the main-flavor like in other more strong, flavorful cuisines, like Indian. German cuisine is mainly… hearty and umami, I’d say 🤔.
@pflaumina definitely some french insight within german food cuisine, it's about the flavours you have and not going overboard anything.. a lot of parsley is great in some dishes, but like you say, putting a lot of it in stuff like knoedel or the frikadelle destroys what it is supposed to taste like. it's why i love italian and french cuisine, they're true masters of letting the few ingredients shine or not destroy the main flavor base of said dishes. i think that's the case all over europe but sadly food culture has gone really bad in germany the last 100 + years
Asians are not big fans of Western food in general. I am very sure that if she visited Ireland she would have the exact same feelings about the food.
You are looking for Frikadellen (meat balls), Kartoffelsalat (potato salad), Apfelstrudel, Leberkäse (but that's usually not made at home, usually you buy IT somewhere, because of the equipment you would need to make it), Semmelknödel (dumplings), Pilzrahmsauce (mushroom sauce) and Rotkraut (takes a long time to cook, maybe you can get it canned and you add some spices, apple, Red wine, etc to give some more flavour)
For the Frikadellen you need minced meat (50% pork 50% beef, WITHOUT being pre salted/spices, IT get's to salty/spicy, when you cook it), salt, pepper (freshly grounded), onion, mustard, eggs, old and dry bread (water to soak it in), majoran or oregano, parsley, maybe a Spice Mix you like. Mix it together with your hand and taste it before cooking. It should be a ratio of 500g minced meat, 1,5-2 of the small breads, and 2 Eggs. They should be kinda soft and "fluffy" after cooking.
The Semmelknödel are made from old and dry bread too. I don't know the ratio of the ingredients but you need milk, eggs, ham cubes (boil it shortly in water to Take some of the saltiness away), parsley, Salt and freshly grounded nutmeg. I think there is a sweet Version too 🤔. If the "dough" ist ready you put the Semmelknödel in mildly boiling water. If they float atop, they should be done. Be very careful forming the Semmelknödel. If you Made a mistake they will fall apart.
For the potato salad there are thousands of recipes. I think each Family has their own 😅
The mushroom sauce is quite simple. First clean the mushrooms (Champignons or Pfifferlinge), cut the Like you prefer them, finely dice an onion. Heat up Butter in a pan until it starts to get brown, put the mushrooms in and stir fry them a bit. Add the onions and wait til they turn glassy. Add a bit of flour (~teaspoon). Add a Shot of White wine or better brandy (be careful, the Brandy can burn). Let it reduce for a bit. Add a cup of cream and wait for it to get nice and thick to your liking. Taste it and add Salt, Pepper and Parsley to it.
The Rotkraut needs a Lot of work and time. It's usually made in large quantities and Frozen after that, so you can use IT, when you need it. My father was a chef and makes it once a year mostly for christmas. He cooks it with the fat of goose, duck or pork, depending on which one he has around 😅 you need rotkraut, apples, rice, applejuice, red wine, cloves, cinnamon (whole), bayleaf, Salt and Onion. He sears the Rotkraut with the onions first, adds the apples, juice, Red wine, dry rice, etc and lets it cook on Low Heat for hours. You can adjust the colour of the Rotkraut with acids (red) like vinegar or Lemon juice and bases (purple) Like sugar or natron. That's why it's called Rotkraut (Red kraut) and Blaukraut (blue Kraut) in different regions, but the blue is more Like a purple.
Having lived in Germany and having tried their food and now living in a place where there’s a lot Vietnamese and therefore a lot of Vietnamese restaurants, I know how very different the two cuisines are. I love seeing how the two of you try each others foods and find something you can enjoy together.
He seems to be quite a good cook. He managed to make a lot of dishes, and the Apfelstrudel looked delicious.
Does anyone else think the way he says oregano is so cute!!! ❤
Es ist cool als deutscher dass Video anzugucken, und zu sehen was man über uns sagt :)
Honestly German food is great and so underrated!
It’s just heavy sometimes, but certainly hearty!
Yeah way too heavy for my taste, though I do love red cabbage
Heavy foods make surviving northern winters easier. Heh. Full belly means sleeping well thru the dark months.
"sometimes"
even as a german, there are dishes i can only eat once or twice a year ( like pork knuckle).
I love grease and dripping pig fat, but if you don't, german food can be torture xD
food is efficient, just like the people. Feed a lot with not much, but it will fill you up so good you wont want seconds.
Thank you I enjoy Middle Eastern Foods.
The avocado salt and pepper shakers is everything ❤, such a wholesome couple in every way
He’s a keeper! That was very interesting, so please film more adventures in cooking❤
You guys should do a collab with a German cooking channel, and maybe do a head to head of German fiance/boyfriend and the other person to see whose food Uyen will tolerate best (maybe even like?)
Sallys Welt?
MAX has already done quite a lot of videos were he cooks for different RUclipsrs. All of them are called: "Ein Tag persönlicher Koch für ..."
He also prepares for each person individually and does not just cook random dishes but tries to please each persons taste - as you should do as a personal cook 😊 While he still introduces the RUclipsrs to new culinary experiences 👍
If cooking isn’t his strongest skill, I must be a total failure. I think he did very well and appeared to accept criticism with grace. Uyen, you’re a foodie and I admire your willingness to try new dishes!
Watching this again, and I realised just how many sounds come from Adam and north of the border. I was fully prepared to see tiny, nerdy things! I wonder if German boyfriend is a fan.
I love how they have a tool for everything
I'm not German - I'm an American living in Poland but the food looked pretty good to me! Seemed like a lot of food!!! This video was very fun!!! German Boyfriend gets a star!
What's your favorite polish dish?
A lot of German recipes are very popular in the U.S. but since they were often popularized by Jewish immigrants from Europe, most people in the U.S. consider them Jewish food. Before moving to Berlin, I always thought that matso balls or gefilte fish were exclusively Jewish. It turned out that they are staple food in Germany, although Jews often give them a particular twist. But I find both recipes equally delicious.
@johnsarkissian5519 so you live in Germany right now? If you're interested there is also also a lot ot Yiddish in German language and German in Yiddish language it's really interested. So if you speak and/or understand German I can send you a link that shows all the parallels it's so cool to see how interwoven the German culture is and its also in other countries. The reason why it became that way might be tragic but the good that came out of it is still beautiful.
@lolguhrt I moved to Germany from the U.S. I lived in Berlin for 6 years but unfortunately I no longer live in Germany. I’ve been living in Canada since 2009. I am quite familiar with Yiddish too. I have watched entire interviews in Yiddish on RUclips and was able to understand most of what was being said.
Compared to Polish food, because that's where I come from, unfortunately German food is not the best😬. Especially sausages... always white and have a strange taste, but sometimes I find something that I like😅
i'm german living in france and this video made me miss/crave german food so much 😭
Damn this couple attachment style is so healthy. I can’t imagine ever telling my partner something they made is a 4/10. I would just lie and say it’s delicious, and then when they ask can they make it again, I would say, I’m in the mood for something else. Lol:
That's a big ooof
You should work on that. You deserve better.
You gotta change something. It's not good for either person when you're living a lie like that.
Same😂 that 4/10 was harsh, I would lie too if my man made food for me😂
That is awful. If you cant be honest with your partner that is a sad relationship. Learning to tell your SO the hurtful truth is a skill to learn.
oooh! That`s remembered to me all those german breakfasts when frau just put cookies, bread, Nutella, jams, honey, milk and cocoa drink on the table))
In the stresses of the world nowadays, your videos are lighthearted and source of joy.
Boyfriend: cooks better than 95% German men
Uyen: "He is not the best cook"
😅
Aww I wish you weren’t so critical of his cooking skills. He looks like he is a good cook to me.
She's a bit too critical imo, but he takes it well. I think though that she'd not like it if he was that way with her.
I agree. Personally, I would prefer his foods over hers any day but I would not be that critical just because I'm not used to it...
@user-eu1rh2nm8jyou know that this is a comedy channel right
They just pick on each other like that. It’s part of their schtick.
She is honest in a respectful way. I mean he doesn't like her Vietnamese cooking either which is why they eat seperately.... and as a German, I know I wouldn't like most of what he cooked either.
Him being so offended by the bread situation 😭😭💀
This was a fun video! Since the meatball has Uyen’s seal of approval, will German Boyfriend give us the recipe?
He showed you how to make it, 500g mince, 1 onion, diced. Then one roll, soaked. 1 egg.
For the seasoning, mustard, smoke salt, orégano, paprika and pepper, Maggi sauce all 1 tsp.
Mix all together, then form into parties (wet your hands first, otherwise the mixture will stick to your hands). Then frying until done. Serve with potato salad, or just boiled potatoes.
parsley has really strong taste actually, we in italy use it a lot especially with fish
Those meatballs are exactly how my German grandmother taught my mother and it makes me happy now here in the US :)
I think a US meatloaf is the better equivalent, since it's not a ball, and with bread and eggs. Balls you can only make smaller, cause the heat need to meet the core. But the other thing in the oven, would also translate to meatloaf. It's just a finer grain.
@holger_psure yeah it's just my mother. Makes meatballs exactly this way too. Meatloaf as well.
oh, my grandma is doing meatballs with soaked bread/bun and my mom uses breadcrumbs
I loved this so much!!!! I’d love to see more of this or a reverse version where you cook him Vietnamese dishes for a full day!
I love this! Vietnamese food is so very different from German food so there is definitely a learning curve. I think that the things Uyen liked the most, German Boyfriend made from scratch and the things she wasn't a big fan of were pre-packaged, right? Seems like German Boyfriend may be a better cook then Uyen says! I am curious about the meatball too! Going to have to find the recipe for that and I need that apple grater thing!
Id recommend using the ingredients he did and just measure by heart. I dont know any germans that actually use a recipe for those haha. Just fry the first one and taste it, the put more stuff into the raw mixture if needed. Also before frying, press them between your hands so they dont break :) Good luck and bon appetit!
I luved that apple 🍎 grater ! If anyone knows what it’s called or where to get it, please share . 🙏🏽🍎😊
@flormorena3778it’s a Apfelreibe from Betty Bossi 😊
I guess it's just the grater you could use for making zucchini noodles
I thought the same thing about that apple grater! I need that in my life 😄
It’s funny that Uyen said the strudel tasted like Christmas, because my mom’s side of the family is Austrian and strudel is one of our Christmas traditions! Even looking at a strudel gets me in the Christmas spirit lmao
Granted, we’ve never eaten it with vanilla sauce, I’d imagine that would affect the texture and I can see why Uyen prefers it without!
the name i know is actually a little bit longer: Eier'schalen'sollbruchstellenverursacher
To me, a Bavarian, Leberkäs with mushroom sauce is a... wild combination xD
In der allergrößten Not schmeckt die Wurst auch ohne Brot 😂😂😂😂 I love it! My grandfather used to say this 😍
My grandpa still says this all the time! Also because I eat the Belag without the Brot all the time…
I was about to comment this when I saw someone already did :D
I love this video! I enjoyed how German Boyfriend explained everything he was making, it was very interesting! 😊
he sounds like a disney princess when he says " SWEETTIE"
GB did a great job! Dutch cuisine is pretty similar, and the way he prepared all the dishes is above average! And if a guy makes Apfelstrüdel from scratch for you, he's a keeper!❤👍👍
Yes, i would have done it the other way around. I would have made the dumplings and red cabbage by myself and bought a premade strudel.
Stamppot met spinazie met gehaktbal en jus 😎 but don’t try the andijvie and spruitjes 🤮
well apfelstrudel isnt typically made with premade puff pastry. the strudel dough is a bit different usually.
vivalozwastakenwat do you mean? The German Frikadellen /Fleischpflanzer (in Bavaria) are not real? Only Frikandel have the right to exist?
Er hat leider nicht gut gekocht, aber er hat sich Mühe gegeben 😅
You guys should do a series now where German boyfriend makes various different German foods for you. But Uyen also has to make Viet food for him. She can do com tam, banh xeo, banh cuon, cha gio (wrapped with all the veggies/herbs and fish sauce!), pho, bun thit nuong, bun cha, banh mi, bo luc lac, bo kho, etc. Uyen, I know you think you're a great cook, but maybe look over some youtube videos from other Viets and then experiment on him. Continue to encourage him to cook so he can get better.
Well done German bf and Uyen for both getting out of your comfort zone and experience new things together ☺️💛 thank you for sharing your experiences with us 🙏🏽
Him getting so upset at the breakfast bread breaking 😂
I’m so glad I’m not a picky eater ! 😂 From what I’ve seen on the channel, both of them are super picky and it’s quite funny. It’s kinda sad that neither of them likes the other cultures food tho 😢
I totally agree!
I eat food from all over the world and make it myself just to try something else 😅
They are so stuck in their way...
I won't say he is picky eater if he didn't want eating fish in the morning or he can't tolerate spicy food. Didn't he travel with her to vietnam and eat there? He ate all the food he could eat. It is the fishy stinky food that she eats in 3 meals. Well, that is a drastaclly different food. I think she didn't try yet to find a ground with German food yet she is in the country for 4 years. It is her time to try and explore german food even for 2 weeks or so .
... Compared to my family and friend group both of them seem like omnivores who don't care what they eat.
It has seriously become easier to list the things a person can eat rather than the once a person can't eat since you only up listening ~20 items
Its weird people dont like pho
I'm from South America and I think I could adapt to both food countries
