      Jeden Donnerstag war Suppen-/Eintopftag: Weiße Bohnen, Linsen, Graupen, Möhren, Erbsen, etc
      Jeden Freitag gabs eine Süßspeise z.B. Milchreis, Griesbrei, Puddingsuppe, Eierkuchen mit Apfelmus

      I'm from germany, too. But for us dinner was the most important meal
      We often had:
      -Frikadellen oder Bratwürste mit Kartoffelbrei und Sauerkraut oder Rotkraut
      -Spinat mit Kartoffeln und Spiegelei
      -Haschee mit Nudeln
      -Gulasch mit Nudeln
      -Strammer Max
      -Rouladen mit Knödel und Rotkraut
      -Gebackene Nudeln
      -Nudelauflauf
      -Lasagne
      -Spaghetti Bolognese
      And I prefer table water
      I only drink sparkling water with juice or Riesling 😂

    As a German spinach with potatoes and egg was a huge thing that we had quite often as well. Also pasta bakes or Bauernfrühstück. Sweet meals we had at school as well were definitely Eierkuchen (pancakes), Milchreis (creamy rice) or Grießbrei.
    And I was also brought up with sparking water but now I prefer still water too

    I knew a girl who went to Germany as an exchange student. She said one meal they had things to make sandwiches. Or that's what she thought. She started putting on a bunch of meat and cheese. She looked up to see the horrified faces looking at her. She then found out only one thin slice of meat and or cheese was supposed to be used.

    Meine Kindheit war 80er und 90er Jahre in Sachsen (also auch DDR): wir hatten viele Suppen und Eintöpfe, Milchreis, Grießbrei, Haferflocken (porridge?), es gab Innereien (Leber, Lunge, Herz, Gehirn), viele Gerichte mit Hackfleisch (falscher Hase, Hackbällchen, Königsberger Klopse), Reis, Nudeln, viel Gemüse und Obst.
    "Richtiges Fleisch", also Braten, Gulasch, Schnitzel, Rouladen usw. gab es meist nur sonntags oder zu Feiertagen.
    Ich liebe bis heute Jägerschnitzel nach Art DDR: Jagdwurstscheiben paniert und gebraten, dazu Nudeln und Tomatensoße!
    Im Winter haben wir nach dem Toben im Schnee gern Speckfettbemmen (Brot mit Speckfett) und Tee gehabt, war echt lecker.
    Frühstück und Abendbrot war meist Brot mit was drauf oder Reste vom Mittagessen. Ich hatte viel Glück, meine Oma hat mindestens 1x pro Woche gebacken, Süßes gab es also genug.

    Sweden and Germany seems to have a lot in common, Breakfast matches (though porridge with cinnamon was a thing growing up, except I hate porridge), but the bread with butter and a slice of something.
    Lunches was in school, I hated it and refused to eat it. But it was overcooked Spaghetti with "meat-sauce" (so probably the same thing) and Ketchup (sorry but I. do not understand how bad the Spaghetti was abused), or fish (and indeed fish-sticks) / meat with underboiled potatoes. Oh and "Blod-pudding" (blood-pudding, so something like black pudding I think). And yes meatballs from time to time. (Look it been years, I don't eat these things anymore). Oh and on Thursdays Swedish tradition is green-pea soup (often with pork) and pancakes.
    Dinners was a lof of the above but better quality. Still ketchup on all types of Pasta, sorry. We did have full meals, and full family unit (including all the fights). My favorites was when we did cozy evenings and had tea and sandwiches.
    Nowaday cosy fridays is apperently "Taco" days (this started in my teens somewhere), and while we have full shelf length named "taco" it is not really close to real tacos, though there was taco shells and tortillas etc.

    In our danish household growing up, breakfast was oatmeal or cornflakes with cold milk. For lunch was ryebread with whatever. (Which why I hate ryebread to this day, like Phil hates fizzy water today) And then warm dinner like your frikadellen or that hare-thing too, meatloaf. Or chicken, roast, ricedish, fish fillet and others. And very rarely dessert.

    I love bratwurst and bratkartoffle and also Schnitzel - chicken or pork. I make both these myself here at home in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. My Dad was from Hamburg and my Mom is from a small village outside of Salzburg so I get both a German and Austrian influence growing up. Saurbraten was also something we had sometimes. Knoedel was from my Mom's side. I really love Fleishknoedel and Zwetchenknoedel. My Mom use to also make Apfel Strudel, Marble cake and Plum cakes - so so good. From my Dad I like, in small amounts, pickled herring and labschkau (corned beef mixed into mashed potatoes and with a bit of cut up pickle) and one really favorite that I still make Rolladen. Sourkraut, Rotkohl and Grunkohl were also things we would have sometimes. For breakfast we ate a lot of eggs - fried and boiled with toast and sometime bacon or ham on the side. Lunches were often aufschnit mit brodt und kase. So many food memories from when I was growing up.

    I'm American, of German decent. My mother sometimes made "leberknödel" or liver dumplings. They were great! Recipe: 1 lb. calf liver, 1 cup bread crumbs, or 4 stale slices of bread, 1 very large diced onion, 1 teaspoon pepper (yes 1 teaspoon), 1 teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon flour. Grind up the liver, and bread crumbs, and mix with salt, pepper, and flour. In a large pan, boil up some beef broth, and drop the liver mixture into the broth. Cover, and simmer 20 minutes. And absolutely don't take the cover off to look (topfdeckelentferner), or the dumplings will get tough. ˈWunderbar!

    I think Schwartenwurst is what we used to call "Zwiebelfleisch" ... lots of onions, tomatoes, spices + of course artificial mash + veg. As far as I recall these were war emergency rations that were sold off to the public/supermarkets just before their 20-year expiration dates. Is that right? My absolute favorite growing up in the 60s in West Berlin. Can't get it in the US or in Tanzania, but I have fond memories. The other favorite was Kartoffeln & Quark of course ("Quark" not the particle, but the yogurt derivative).

    Warm>Cold! My German husband never had so many warm meals until he met me. He eats a cold salami/edamer sandwich every morning but if there's time, I'll offer to make it, and I'm grilling it in the pan with butter to make it better. I often add a slice of onion and tomatenmark with oregano so it tastes italian.
    The noodles - he mostly wants spaghetti noodles and I learned long ago not to break them before cooking. As an American with no class, I have no problem cutting up the noodles till they are bite sized and eating them like that. But he does the proper thing, twirling a mile-long noodle between spoon and fork. That packaged spaghetti box with the sauce is soooo yummy!
    Deana since you like Kloesse, I developed an awesome German/American comfort food meal recently. It's Huehnerfrikassee/Chicken & Dumplings but instead of dumplings I put Kloesse on top. (Kloesse being German dumplings, as you know.) My husband said, "Next time, more Kloesse!"
    Now that I'm back on Keto I make a lot of meatloaf and frikadelle.
    "Every country has meatballs" - that is one of my favorite lines from my favorite show, Babylon 5. G'kar says something like, "Every alien planet you visit, you'll find meatballs." I recently learned the secret to good frikadelle is to grate the onion with a cheese grater.

    Now I like to cook those meals for my own, because I think, my taste have changed and it remembers me to good old days.
    And meatballs (Frikadellen) also named "Bremsklötze".
    I don't know, why the meal "Falscher Hase" was named like that, but I also remember, that there was a meal called "Bunt Huhn". And it was a vegitable soup with white beans and without chicken inside, but pears.

    Hi. Ich bin aus der Pfalz. Meine Mutter ihre Familie ist eine der Ur-pfälzische Bauern/Weinbauern- Familien. Meine Vater ist aus Bayern. Wir hatte oft typische Gerichte zu Hause: Bratwurst, Sauerkraut, Kartoffelbrei, Kartoffelsalat, Bohnensalat, Eisbergsalat, Bratkartoffeln, Frikadellen, Leberknödel, Fleischkäse, Semmelknödel, Fischstäbchen oder Spiegelei mit Salzkartoffeln und Spinat, Schnitzel, Rotkraut, dazu oft eine Zwiebelsoße. Oder Nudeln Napoli/ Bolognese/ Carbonara und selbstgemachte Pizza. Hin und wieder gab es auch Gequellte ( gekochte, ganze Kartoffel mit Schale) mit selbstgamachtem Kräuterquark oder Sahnehering, Pfannkuchen mit Championsoße/ Spargel mit weißer Soße ( keine Hollandaise, eher eine Mehlschwitze), Schupfeln in Sauerkraut mit Speck, Wurstsalat mit Pommes oder Bratkartoffeln oder auch mal halbes Hähnchen mit Pommes ( von einem fahrbaren Stand- heute würde man Foottruck sagen). Meine Mama war aber auch früh schon für bewusstes und gesundes Essen. Wir hatte auch viel Gemüse oder Gemüseauflauf oder Grünkernbratlinge ( eine Art vegitarische Frikadelle- sehr lecker) mit Karrotten. Süße Gerichte hatte wir auch öfter: Griesbrei, Milchreis, Milchreisauflauf, süße Pfannkuchen, Schupfnudeln, Kaiserschmarrn ( Rezept meiner bayrischen Uroma) und dazu Apfelmus oder verschiedene Früchte ( meistens aus Omas Garten) oder Dampfnudeln mit Vanillesoße. Bei meiner pfälzischen Oma gab es auch öfter Fleisch mit Merrettichsoße. Das mochte ich nicht.
    Zum Frühstück konnte man wählen zwischen Brot mit Marmelade/Honig/Wurst/Käse und Müsli mit kalter Milch. Mit Orangensaft kenne ich auch. Wenn wir erkältet waren durften wir keine Milch trinken- also Müsli mit Saft. Mochte ich aber auch nicht sonderlich. Am Wochenende war das dann größer mit Rohkost und gekochten Eiern. Abends gab es dann oft Reste oder Brot mit Wurst und dazu Rohkost oder ein Salat.

    I'm of German heritage (Steigerwald) but I'm a 3rd generation American.
    Breakfast growing up was cold cereal, or HOT oatmeal (Cream of Rice, or Malt O Meal).
    My mom was divorced so I was in my own for breakfast. Lunch was eatten at the school cafeteria. The food was good. They made it from scratch and they baked bread.
    On the weekends we usually had cold cuts like bologna or salame with American cheese or munster. Grilled cheese with a slice of tomato on it or grilled cheese and tomato soup. Dinners were eaten at the kitchen table. The table was set with fork, knife, spoon and NAPKIN! This was in an era where table manners were laid out. No elbows on the table, don't talk with food in your mouth, and don't chew with an open mouth. It drives me CRAZY to watch people eat. Uggg
    Dinner. My mom would use her pressure cooker and make pig knuckles and sauerkraut. Navy beans with pork. Chicken fried or baked. Fish sticks. Hamburgers. Or I'd walk to the shop at the end of our block and get CHICAGO hot dogs (Chicago born and raised). Mom, gramma and my Grossmutter were good cooks.
    Now for meat loaf. I'm in my 60's so IM the cook now.
    Just last week I had a package of ground pork, so I made stuffed green peppers and mashed potato, real not boxed. The next day I made a meat loaf with the remainder of the ground pork. It had onion, bell pepper, an egg as a binder, panko bread crums, garlic, cumin and Panera Italian dressing. On top put ketchup and over that a good amount of brown sugar! OMG! the brown sugar melts into the meat and makes a crust on the outside. Shhh just don't tell anyone my secret.
    Mom made spaghetti and meat balls and lasagna, but mine is better, lol. I put Italian sausage in mine.

    My family LOVES green salads and Cucumber salad. We often had these as an extra. Sometimes just fresh salad, some potatoes and scrambled eggs. We often had "Champignon-Omlette". It was just a "Pfannenkuchen" filled with Champignon-sauce and fresh salad with it.
    Then we had some kind of meat loaf, but wrapped in white cabbage with a white sauce and potatoes. (I'm vegetarian since 16 years, so I don't eat the meat loaf and my grandma puts some pieces of cabbage in the sauce for me. It's really yummy.
    Another thing we had often was just spirelli pasta with meat-sauce. My mother bought minced meat added sauce and whatever she felt like. Some days she added canned corn. Other days champignon and the next it was bell pepper... or any mix of these. And we always had fishsticks with potato salad. In spring we had asparagus as well. Or sometimes we had "Gestampftes", which was simply potatoes, carrots and peas mashed together (like mashed potatoes, but with vegetables in it) and some "Frikadellen" with it.
    My mother loved to test out new recipes, so we often had varying foods. From time to time she made "Kalbsleber", but hers was never hard or such. She managed to make them taste good. As a kid I loved them, as I thought all meat with fat was disgusting (the reason, why I'm vegetarian xD) and liver never had any fat on it. So I liked it by default as a kid xDDD

I still make Frikadellen, but make it with ground turkey. I also ask my mom to make Reibephannekuchen (forgive my mispellings). Favorite holiday dish was Rolladen mit Rotkohl und Kartoffelklose. I also did not have dessert regularly either. Sometimes were were allowed ice cream or my mom would bake a banana bread. We never gained excess weight as children except when we'd visit our grandparents in Germany for 4 weeks and had a ton of baked goods! I feel like there is a bakery every couple of blocks in Germany to support fresh morning brotchen and afternoon kafee und kuchen. I have not visited since 2009. I miss it!

    Living in Minnesota I grew up on Mountain Dew, now it's IPAs My German grandmother would make me pork ribs and saurkraut with mashed potatoes. Otherwise, it was breaded pork chops or bratwurst and potato salad.
    For me, breakfast, lunch and dinner were integral parts of growing up. On weekdays we would have doughnuts or cereal for breakfast because they were quick. On weekends we would have pancakes or waffles with eggs and bacon or ham or sausage with a glass of Tang orange drink. I remember Mrs. Sagura would make these plate sized pancakes for me and my friend on Saturday morning. Lunches are always quick and easy (usually fast food) even on weekends. Dinner has changed drastically over the years. My family would sit at the table for a meal and wine every night. I even had a little wine glass for kids. Dinner was mostly pork chops in every fashion with mashed potatoes a green and salad. At least once or twice a week we would have T-bones or sirloins. Then Hungryman TV dinners came along with evening soaps like "Dallas".
    I didn't discover Ramen until the early nineties when I was serving in the Navy. Cheap food I could eat on watch. If only the had the spicy noodles...
    I'm such a total foodie that after seeing yours' episode of spicy noodles I ran to the Asian market and got me some 2X. My purchase set the Asian ladies straight into chatter. What did I get myself into.?. Can't wait. Lol.

    Yes, we have meatloaf about once every two weeks. It is usually made with ground beef. I put an envelope of French’s onion soup and a couple of raw eggs into the mixture. Also some ketchup. You put it into a loaf pan, and bake it. It is usually served with mashed potatoes on the side, and gravy. When my son was a little toddler, he used to call it meat ❤️ love.

    Hello Deana+Phil,
    i`m from NRW (near Duisburg) and my childhood meals were very similar to Phils.
    Potatos (mashed or complete) with souce and flesh, spinach with eggs(Spiegelei) and fish sticks (Fischstäbchen oder Backfischfile). In the morning mostly cereals and for school most time "Milchbrötchen" (was never the bread type). Also had lots of vegetable dishes mostly in winter time (several kinds of vegetable soup or "Eintopf" which is literally soup with low water / broth in it - mostly with some flesh in it (Markklöse, sausage, Gullash)).
    Pasta - works every time (Spagetti with tomatoe sauce or with a Bolognese).
    Please pardon me for the bunch of German item names - don´t know the english terms for them (when there exist some).

    Grunkohl with pinkel, my mom's potato salad (and mine) is amazing, goulash with spaetzle (or egg noodles or pasta), Konigsberger Klopse, rouladen, bratkartoffel, potato, lentil or pea soup, fried bread, must have my brotchen. 1st generation in Toronto. Had Nutella before peanut butter. My dad wasn't a big fan of tomato sauce so we never had spaghetti until I was 10. Pancakes with sugar sprinkled on it; Liverwurst, bierwurst, edam cheese, Grießsuppe. Yum!!
