East Germany 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
This was a very north german childhood. just to list a few from the south: Gulasch, Knödel mit EI, Käsespätzle, Rouladen, Schnitzel, as for heritage influence: Kartoffelgulasch!
Bin in Bayern groß geworden, meine Großeltern leben aber in Niedersachsen, daher kenn ich die Gerichte in dem Video aber ehrlich, Bayrische Küche ist soooo viel besser als Norddeutsche
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.
I live in the US, and my mom was from Germany. She passed away four years ago, but six months before she passed I made sure to make her walk me step-by-step through her potato salad recipe. I'm so glad I got it and can now continue to pass it on.
Ich habe nur einmal in meinem Leben Box-Kortoffelpüree gegessen Ich war bereits ausgezogen unf wollte es mal probieren Es war eines der widerlichsten Dinge, die ich je gegessen habe..
Kartoffelbrei aus der Box sollte als Verstoß gegen die Genfer Konvention geahnded werden. Hab ich bis jetzt nur in einer miesen Jugendherberge bekommen.
Naja, zur Not geht es schon mal, finde ich. Aber echt nur zur Not, im Krieg oder wenn böser Besuch kommt, der schnell wieder gehen soll. Ansonsten kann man das Zeug gut als Spachtelmasse oder bei undichten Fenstern verwenden :D
Nur, dass das "-pflanzerl" überhaupt nichts mit Pflanzen zu tun hat, sondern mit "Pfannzelten", also in der Pfanne gebackene Kuchen. Selbe Herkunft also wie im Südwesten bei den "Fleischküchle".
@@Akkaren79 in franken heißen die auch fleischküchler... Aber bin ich die einzige, die nicht schwartenwurst und paar andere dinge, die er genannt hat, kennt?😅
I'm from Canada, and for breakfast, I remember that my mom would often give us toasts with only butter and a small plate with maple syrup, yes the real thing. My sister and I dabbed the buttered toast in the syrup! We absolutely loved it!
The most important question: Potatosalad: With Mayonnaise or vinegar and oil?! I Prefer the heavy one with mayo, bacon, Boiled eggs and pickles, mmmhhh🤪
BOTH! but why bacon?! ewwww! chicken meat of beef! or no meat at all. The one with mayo was the traditional holiday potato salad, in winter. rarely made in summer. the one with oil and vinegar was for summer. Also, greetings from Romania!
(I'm from Germany) And I watched this video, while I ate my Spaghetti with Blognese started to laugh when Phil told about the Spaghetti at lunch 😂 I'm so freakin german, yees 🤣🍝
Bei uns war da schon ein Unterschied. Falscher Hase hatte in der Mitte einige hart gekochte Eier und eine Kruste aus Semmelbrösel. Hackbraten hatte in die Hackmasse Möhren und Lauch eingearbeitet, keine Eier und keine Kruste. Ich selbst mache inzwischen einen falschen Hasen-Hackbraten, bei mir kommt alles rein :D Wichtig: Im Römertopf garen! Ohne Römertopf kein Hackbraten und kein Falscher Hase.
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.
A ready-made meal already on the kitchen table is definitely one of the best things under the sun - and this is more appreciated when, as an adult, you return home after a hard day at work ♥
Linsensuppe, Milchreis, Reibekuchen, Kartoffelsalat, Schnitzel, Tomatensuppe mit Reis, Königsberger Klopse und Rouladen mit Klöße waren meine Kindheit.
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 enjoy your Video and every time When Phil is talking about his german Childhood etc. It Sounds very very similiar to my german childhood ( in Cologne)..I would like to hear more, how your " Gewohnheiten/ habits?" are changing . One meal that was important in my childhood : Rievkoche (Reibekuchen / Kartoffelpuffer)
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 enjoyed most of the foods you mentioned as my mother in law was from Germany and my husband was born there durring WWII. We lost her over 10 years ago and I miss her food almost as much as I miss her.
I'm a Namibian and visited Germany as a foreign exchange student. My host family lived in Münster and i can say that all that's being said is true.....
Hi from Romania. we ate almost all those German foods, including that type of sandwich, with just a slice of bread, butter, and then cheese, or ham or something, or jam. LOL. i still eat them. but with no ham because i don't really eat meat anymore. and i always put the salty cheese on top of the jam. (best with berry jams).
I fondly remember "Szegediner Gulasch" - bite-sized beef pieces stewed in Sauerkraut (with a bit of pineapple), "Ananassauerkraut", served with potatoes.
I worked at a German hospital and one day they had Szegediner Gulasch and I loved it so much I went to the chef and gave him a piece of paper and said, "Recipe please."
I live in Germany, Bavaria. Every time my grandma made bread dumplings with mushrooms (we searched them in the wood for ourselves), she made a few more for the next day. Then the dumplings were sliced and put togehther with onions,oil,vinegar,salt and pepper, the same marinade as for a "Wurstsalat". This with bread and butter and some small radish was a great dinner. Sometimes you get it today in a "Biergarten", but it is not very popular nowadays.
My most favorite meal as a child was Bratstulle. Fried Grey Bread in Butter with a sunny side up egg on top. And what i also really loved was the "Hasenbrot" when dad comes home from work.
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.
every german grandma made the best piotatoe salad!! i sometimes just had the salad ifn i get ansked what i wanted to eat - just a big bowl potatoe salad
I grew up also with cereals as breakfast, but I ate them sometimes with apple juice(yes, I was a weird kid) and at weekends we ate bread with cheese and jam. At lunch we had Maultaschen mit Kartoffelsalat(noodles filled with meat and vegetables and potatosalat), Fleischküchle(Meatballs), Noodles with Pesto, Pfannkuchen(Pancakes) or gebackener Cambembert(baked cheese). At dinner we had the rests of lunch or bread. If we had pancakes, dinner was a Flädlessuppe, for this we cut the pancakes and put them in soup. I love it so much. Also a snack from my childhood is potato with butter and salt. When my grandma made Potatosalat she take one potato and gave it to me with buter and salt.
I miss my oma‘s food, it was delicious. Sadly, she passed away 2 years ago and never wrote down the recipe for her dishes. Like I looooove her stews made with veggies from her garden, Hühnerfrikassee, buntes Huhn, stampfkartoffeln, überbackene Paprika, kohlrouladen, Zwetschgen und klütschen 😻
Meine Oma hat manchmal etwas gemacht das sie Haluschka genannt hat. Einfach Sauerkraut und Hack im Topf Schichten, Reis oben drauf, und mit Brühe immer nachgießen während man es köcheln lässt. Wenn der Reis durch ist, ist es fertig. Gab es oft mit Kartoffelpüree, super lecker. Nachdem sie gestorben war und ich es nie so hin bekommen habe, habe ich irgendwann angefangen das Rezept im Internet zu suchen. Dummerweise hat's meine Oma wohl erfunden.
I have a friend who lives in a small village in Thüringen. He has Brötchen with butter and Nutella for breakfast (or cereal), and usually a sandwich for lunch. Then they always have Kaffee und Kuchen at 17:00. His mom makes a cake at least a few times a week. Then they have a larger dinner just a couple of hours later at 19:30. They grill Bratwurst frequently at their house--probably once a week. She also makes potato salad. They eat many traditional German foods like Schnitzel mit Pommes, Rotkohl, Backfisch, Krautrouladen, Klöße, Blumenkohl, etc. They eat potatoes almost every night. They also pick up pizza or Döner very frequently.
Brötchen mit gelbwurst und butterkäse was my school lunch. Spaghetti Bolognese was and still is king as far as I'm concerned. German potato salad with sausages, can't go wrong with that. Gulasch, dumpling soup was also common and many other common German food.
A soup my mom made was "Fllädlesuppe" (grüse ausm Schwabenland) when we hat pancakes an there where leftovers... a day later my mom sliced them an out them in a soup. Wenn wir Pannkuchen hatten und am nächsten Tag waren welche übrig, hat sie diese geschnitten und in eine Suppe getan 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Breakfast : bacon , lettuce, tomato or oatmeal & fruit or cream of wheat Lunch : grilled cheese and tomato soup , baloney sandwich & potato chips Supper: pintos beans , potato,corn bread :meat loaf,& mashed potatoes Spaghetti and meatballs, Pizza and salad . We always had whatever Vegetables that where in season as my grandparents raised a garden and we got part of it for helping with the planting & weeding . Our usual drink was tea or Lemonade
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.
My Opa-- born near Bremerhaven--- owned a German Deli in New York City, so I used to eat a ton of German bread every time I was at Opa's house. His wife was an American of Irish descent, and we usually ate cold cuts on Opa's bread.
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.
Isso. Da kann ich auch gleich Kranwasser trinken. (Meiner Meinung nach) Außerdem schmeckt Wasser mit Sprudel aus Glasflaschen sooo viel besser als aus Plastikflaschen.
my german dad emigrated to the USA in the 1950's, but he was born in 1909. so the packeged food choices you grew up with were totally unavailable to him as a child, and immigrants hold so tight to what they knew as a child. so i grew up with german heritage foods from the 1930's timeframe. plus my german mail order stepmom had been a cook in germany in the 40's and 50's, so we barely had packaged foods at all. a favorite of mine was the peasant mashed potato dish; sauteed onions and bacon mixed into roughly mashed potatoes, then put on a big platter in the middle of the table and everyone would reach across the table and eat from that one dish. milk or buttermilk to drink with it. it was yummy and fun. fancy meals always had red cabbage and semelknodel or potato dumplings on the side with sauerbraten, or rabbit or heart or rouladen
Idk why but I never feel like still water soothes my thirst other than sparkling water, so I only drink sparkling water lol Great video, was interesting to see Deana's reactions on them ^^
The most common dishes for school lunches in my East German childhood were rice pudding with cinnamon & sugar - Milchreis mit Zimt & Zucker, eggs with mustard sauce - Senfeier, meatballs in a white sauce with capers - Königsberger Klopse, semolina pudding with fruits - Grießbrei mit Früchten, black pudding with sourcroute - Blutwurst mit Sauerkraut also known as Tote Oma (Dead Granny), carrot stew - Möhreneintopf, lentil stew sweet & sour - Linseneintopf süßsauer, chicken fricassee with rice - Hühnerfrikassee mit Reis, creamed spinach with an egg sunny side up - Rahmspinat mit Setzei...
I’m from Germany and I totally hate sparkling water, I only drink still water! Ich bin von Deutschland und ich hasse Sprudelwasser, ich drinke nur stilles Wasser 💧 😂😂😂
I am showing my age, I never had cereal growing up. For breakfast always a brotchen or a pretzel or a slice of leinsamen bread with butter; sometimes with a soft-boiled egg. A big treat was toastbrot and fruhstuck speck. We had a lot of meat/starch/vegetable meals--frikadellen, potato salad, tomato salad or goulash, spaetzle, green beans or pork cutlet, fried potato, asparagus. Sunday always roast, kloese, green or red cabbage; starting with a thin soup in winter or a salad in summer; always compote for dessert. Abendbrot was usually bread, meat and cheese with pickles. If it was cold maybe erbsensuppe, vegetable eintopf, or noodle auflauf. Friday nights was often potato pancakes, quark pancakes or kaiserschmarren; fish if we had company. No dessert in the week, coffee and cake on Sunday afternoon. No soda. Good and everything from scratch.
German breakfast the way I know it: family dad picks up the Brötchen (bread buns - all kinds of types, mother and children prepare the table by putting all of the Aufstriche (Nutella, honey, jam, ham, mortadella, fleischwurst, and many kinds of cheeses) they can find in their kitchen on the table - and children often hace chocolate milk or juice.
I was growing up in Nordrhein Westfalen and Sachsen. My favorites as a kid are: Birnen Bohnen und Speck, Mettbrötchen, Möhrengemüse mit Frikadellen. The Kitchen in Saxony took some getting use to me.
Senfeier: a low budget dish with Mustard sauce, boiled eggs and boiled potatoes. Additionally served with a small salad. Kohlrouladen: Minced covered on a leaf of cabbage. Fried it and comes usually with gravy, boiled potatoes and vegetables like green beans. Überbackene Mettbrötchen: German fresh rolls cut in half. Add pork mince (Mett) diced onions, bell peppers and cover with Gouda or Cheddar cheese. Finally you put it in a oven.
I had some stale bread that I had to use and decided to make some semmelknödel thanks to your suggestion-- very simple to make, but you really need a good sauce to go with it!
I relate a lot as a Dutch. We also have bread in the morning and for lunch. Also one slice of cheese or wurst, or a tosti ham and cheese. We also ate a lot of Kartoffeln (aardappels) and goulash with rice. So good! One thing I still make often from my childhood is what my grandma made: macaroni with tomato sauce and meat from a can (I can't remember what it's called).
I had the same with my Grandma. Some you mentioned we also had, but I think in Brandenburg there are different things too. Most notebly "Pellkartoffeln mit Quark und Leinöl", "Soljanka", "Goulash", "Ei mit Senfsoße" and "Kassler mit Grünkohl".
it is funny how the different regions have different family meals. we often had bratwurst and sauerkraut at christmas and sunday was the rouladen and klöße day with blaukraut. :) love blaukraut and sauerkraut but hate sparkling water as well.
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!!
When I was a child (over 40 years ago) I hate some meals, like the soup with green beans (Schnippelbohnensuppe). 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.
I grew up with weekly meatloaf, spaghetti, and goulash. Occasional ring bologna and sauerkraut. Heritage was Alsace Lorraine and Schleswig Holstein. Almost every meal had meat, potatoes, and some green vegetable.
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 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.
We did all sit around the table and eat together. I did the same with my kids. Everybody had to finish, then ask “May I be excused?”. Sometimes I would ask my three children to tell us something interesting about their day.
This was so fun for me to watch because I was born in California, but raised by Germans (from Duisburg) and grew up with a lot of the things Phil ate. 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!
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).
Fleischkäse in a bun was a common meal. We also only had fish fingers with fries, and seidenwürstchen with the mashed potatoes. Bauernfrühstück was also a big thing, it was mostly left over pasta with eggs and some kind of sausage. Oh we call and the "meat balls" Fleischküchle.
As an American who has lived in Germany for a number of years....I LOVE sparkling water. They have the best!!! I also love the breakfast with bread and meat, cheese etc. slices. m my friends and I often ate that in the evening as well and they laughed when I said "schon wieder fruhstuck???" But I loved my time in Germany and I think it is a great country.
Do you make any of the meals we mentions? Let us know what type of dishes you made at home and where you are from! 🤗💜
I am from Stuttgart and my grandma always made "Linsen und Spätzle" 😍😻😍
Potato Salat is just awesome 🥔🤩 Greetings from Dortmund 👋
sure i know what "falscher hase" is :) ist perfect!
East Germany
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
Yes to all of that!
Pancakes with Nutella! We always had some kind powdered soup before so that the lunch would "last longer"
@worldwideVivi genau daran habe cih auch gedacht, es fehlen nur noch die Hefeklöße mit Kirschen.
I loved the spinach with potatoes and egg and still do!
I always hated spinach and always refused to eat it. It looks as if a cow lost it, if you know what I mean. I don't even like the smell of it.
This was a very north german childhood. just to list a few from the south: Gulasch, Knödel mit EI, Käsespätzle, Rouladen, Schnitzel, as for heritage influence: Kartoffelgulasch!
kartoffelgulasch 😍
Käs‘spätzle waren mein Leben😍
In Österreich essen wir das auch wenn wir Kinder sind
Bin in Bayern groß geworden, meine Großeltern leben aber in Niedersachsen, daher kenn ich die Gerichte in dem Video aber ehrlich, Bayrische Küche ist soooo viel besser als Norddeutsche
😍🤤
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.
Yup very true. We also don't really make sandwiches (unless as a snack to go) but just eat slices of bread with something on top
You should have prepared the meals you were talking about and let Deana tries them.
I thought that he was going to do that too
Oh thats a good idea!
I live in the US, and my mom was from Germany. She passed away four years ago, but six months before she passed I made sure to make her walk me step-by-step through her potato salad recipe. I'm so glad I got it and can now continue to pass it on.
post it here?
Ich habe nur einmal in meinem Leben Box-Kortoffelpüree gegessen
Ich war bereits ausgezogen unf wollte es mal probieren
Es war eines der widerlichsten Dinge, die ich je gegessen habe..
Kartoffelbrei aus der Box sollte als Verstoß gegen die Genfer Konvention geahnded werden. Hab ich bis jetzt nur in einer miesen Jugendherberge bekommen.
Kartoffelnpü muss frisch sein!!!
Naja, zur Not geht es schon mal, finde ich. Aber echt nur zur Not, im Krieg oder wenn böser Besuch kommt, der schnell wieder gehen soll. Ansonsten kann man das Zeug gut als Spachtelmasse oder bei undichten Fenstern verwenden :D
Immer dasselbe. Ein Deutscher macht sich über sein Essen lustig, und die Asiatin (Amerikanerin) lacht darüber. Very funny.
Ich esse das immer roh also Pulver nur
Sparkling Water is the best 🥤
NOOO
Ofcourse! Greetings from Denmark
Sprudelwasser beste
Linsen mit Spätzle und Wiener
...und für mich noch Senf!
Ich nehme Soja-Knacker, schneide sie in Scheiben, brate sie an und gebe sie zu den Linsen.
Mhmmmm, voll legga!
We in Bavaria call the Frikadellen Fleischpflanzerl (meat plants)
sind die vegan ?^^
Nur, dass das "-pflanzerl" überhaupt nichts mit Pflanzen zu tun hat, sondern mit "Pfannzelten", also in der Pfanne gebackene Kuchen. Selbe Herkunft also wie im Südwesten bei den "Fleischküchle".
seid ja au keine deutschen
Oder Fleischküchle. Wobei das glaub ich eher Schwäbisch ist
@@Akkaren79 in franken heißen die auch fleischküchler...
Aber bin ich die einzige, die nicht schwartenwurst und paar andere dinge, die er genannt hat, kennt?😅
I'm from Canada, and for breakfast, I remember that my mom would often give us toasts with only butter and a small plate with maple syrup, yes the real thing. My sister and I dabbed the buttered toast in the syrup! We absolutely loved it!
Ohh that sounds good! Maple syrup is 🤤👌 so much better than the sugar syrup we had often as kids!
Scottish here. Buttered toast occasionally with marmalade
My boyfriend is a german. I love your videos. It always helps me to understand him more :) Thankssss
The most important question: Potatosalad: With Mayonnaise or vinegar and oil?! I Prefer the heavy one with mayo, bacon, Boiled eggs and pickles, mmmhhh🤪
BOTH! but why bacon?! ewwww! chicken meat of beef! or no meat at all. The one with mayo was the traditional holiday potato salad, in winter. rarely made in summer. the one with oil and vinegar was for summer. Also, greetings from Romania!
Im Norden immer mit Mayonaise. Hineingeschnitten wird Fleischwurst, harte Eier und saure Gurken. Als Variante kann es auch mit Apfelstücken sein.
With Vinegar and Oil
Mit Mayo. Definitiv 😻
@@sapphirecamui6447 Bacon is an American thing. All the restaurants started serving "German Potato Salad" and it always had bacon.
(I'm from Germany) And I watched this video, while I ate my Spaghetti with Blognese started to laugh when Phil told about the Spaghetti at lunch 😂
I'm so freakin german, yees 🤣🍝
We eat Hackbraten instead of Falscher Hase (same thing), still a favorite food.
Bei uns war da schon ein Unterschied. Falscher Hase hatte in der Mitte einige hart gekochte Eier und eine Kruste aus Semmelbrösel. Hackbraten hatte in die Hackmasse Möhren und Lauch eingearbeitet, keine Eier und keine Kruste. Ich selbst mache inzwischen einen falschen Hasen-Hackbraten, bei mir kommt alles rein :D Wichtig: Im Römertopf garen! Ohne Römertopf kein Hackbraten und kein Falscher Hase.
Love you guys!! Thank you for keeping us entertained during quarantine!
Thank you! Hang in there! 🤗💜
Serbisches Reisfleisch kenn ich auch😂 Aber nicht mit Pilzen, sondern mit Paprika
What about Chili Con Carne? The German kind with minced meat, bell peppers, canned tomato, kidney beans and sweetcorn - without any heat at all ;-)
chili sin carne is better
so true! thats exactly how i remember our chilli con carne
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.
Jägerschnitzel sind super, leider findet man selten die große Jagdwurst
Wieso denn auch? Er ist in Niedersachsen aufgewachsen, im Westen.
Mein Ossiherz weint vor Freude bei diesen Zeilen
Great video guys! I'm just catching up on your old videos here. I love meatloaf in the winter when it's cold - so comforting. Hi from upstate NY!
Meatballs are called "Fleischküchle" in the south of Germany (at least in Baden-Württemberg)😂😅💯
Bratklops!
In Bayern too
@@jule_iris we called them fleischpflanzerl
We call them bouletten in Berlin
Mettbällchen in Westfalen - oder einfach nur Bällchen 😊 der Westfale an sich ist ein bisschen wortkarg 🤷♀️
I love thick hearty potato soup, I'd eat every day if I could.
A ready-made meal already on the kitchen table is definitely one of the best things under the sun - and this is more appreciated when, as an adult, you return home after a hard day at work ♥
Linsensuppe, Milchreis, Reibekuchen, Kartoffelsalat, Schnitzel, Tomatensuppe mit Reis, Königsberger Klopse und Rouladen mit Klöße waren meine Kindheit.
My family called it Frikadüse (I grew up in Münsterland, if anyone needs to know for the word)
I make meatloaf and homemade mashed potatoes for my family regularly!
Lecker! So delicious! 🤤
I had it growing up, never really cooked it in my young adulthood (20s, early 30s), but i have a newfound love for it again and make it all the time.
I growed up in Baden-Württemberg and I liked to eat ‚LKW mit ABS‘ what means Läberkäsweckle mit a bissle senf
Aber wenn dann süßer Senf😅 und einen gescheiten Kartoffelsalat dazu
Am liebsten im lauge Weckle!!!! 😍
So gut
😂 Ich wünschte man würde das hier auch sagen.. hier sagt man einfach Leberkäse Brötchen.. voll langweilig im Gegensatz zu LKW mit ABS
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 enjoy your Video and every time When Phil is talking about his german Childhood etc. It Sounds very very similiar to my german childhood ( in Cologne)..I would like to hear more, how your
" Gewohnheiten/ habits?" are changing . One meal that was important in my childhood :
Rievkoche (Reibekuchen / Kartoffelpuffer)
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 enjoyed most of the foods you mentioned as my mother in law was from Germany and my husband was born there durring WWII. We lost her over 10 years ago and I miss her food almost as much as I miss her.
I'm a Namibian and visited Germany as a foreign exchange student. My host family lived in Münster and i can say that all that's being said is true.....
Hi from Romania. we ate almost all those German foods, including that type of sandwich, with just a slice of bread, butter, and then cheese, or ham or something, or jam. LOL. i still eat them. but with no ham because i don't really eat meat anymore. and i always put the salty cheese on top of the jam. (best with berry jams).
I fondly remember "Szegediner Gulasch" - bite-sized beef pieces stewed in Sauerkraut (with a bit of pineapple), "Ananassauerkraut", served with potatoes.
Oh yes! We made it with canned tomatoes in addition!
Ananassauerkraut hört sich schrecklich an, könnte aber funktunieren... Vielleicht bin ich irgendwann mal mutig genug das auszubrobieren...
I worked at a German hospital and one day they had Szegediner Gulasch and I loved it so much I went to the chef and gave him a piece of paper and said, "Recipe please."
We often eat Baguette to Gulasch
Don't let the Hungarians know you throw pineapples in their dish.... 😂
I live in Germany, Bavaria. Every time my grandma made bread dumplings with mushrooms (we searched them in the wood for ourselves), she made a few more for the next day. Then the dumplings were sliced and put togehther with onions,oil,vinegar,salt and pepper, the same marinade as for a "Wurstsalat". This with bread and butter and some small radish was a great dinner. Sometimes you get it today in a "Biergarten", but it is not very popular nowadays.
My most favorite meal as a child was Bratstulle. Fried Grey Bread in Butter with a sunny side up egg on top.
And what i also really loved was the "Hasenbrot" when dad comes home from work.
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.
every german grandma made the best piotatoe salad!! i sometimes just had the salad ifn i get ansked what i wanted to eat - just a big bowl potatoe salad
Luv you guys, you should do cooking videos. My German mom has been gone for 2.5 years now. I soooo miss her cooking!!
I grew up also with cereals as breakfast, but I ate them sometimes with apple juice(yes, I was a weird kid) and at weekends we ate bread with cheese and jam.
At lunch we had Maultaschen mit Kartoffelsalat(noodles filled with meat and vegetables and potatosalat), Fleischküchle(Meatballs), Noodles with Pesto, Pfannkuchen(Pancakes) or gebackener Cambembert(baked cheese).
At dinner we had the rests of lunch or bread. If we had pancakes, dinner was a Flädlessuppe, for this we cut the pancakes and put them in soup. I love it so much.
Also a snack from my childhood is potato with butter and salt. When my grandma made Potatosalat she take one potato and gave it to me with buter and salt.
I miss my oma‘s food, it was delicious. Sadly, she passed away 2 years ago and never wrote down the recipe for her dishes. Like I looooove her stews made with veggies from her garden, Hühnerfrikassee, buntes Huhn, stampfkartoffeln, überbackene Paprika, kohlrouladen, Zwetschgen und klütschen 😻
Meine Oma hat manchmal etwas gemacht das sie Haluschka genannt hat. Einfach Sauerkraut und Hack im Topf Schichten, Reis oben drauf, und mit Brühe immer nachgießen während man es köcheln lässt. Wenn der Reis durch ist, ist es fertig. Gab es oft mit Kartoffelpüree, super lecker.
Nachdem sie gestorben war und ich es nie so hin bekommen habe, habe ich irgendwann angefangen das Rezept im Internet zu suchen. Dummerweise hat's meine Oma wohl erfunden.
Does anyone else know Risi-Bisi? 😁
Oh ja! Reis mit Erbsen durchgerührt. Rice with pears stirred through.
Ja 🤤
😜
Ich hab das tatsächlich noch nie gegessen😂
Ich bin entsetzt, was meine nördlichen Nachbarn so essen 😂
I love it! Pretty common things, and in this video, we're going to confirm that! 🤣
I totally sometimes make meatloaf, actually like the picture with eggs in the middle, I really love it
Bratkatoffel und Klose, Rotkohl schmeckt Prima denk ich 🧐👍🍻
OMG love meatloaf, we make it with beef, pork, duck, venison etc... We even use some liverwurst in it.. it's good hot, but better as a cold sandwich!
SO UNBELIVEABLE TRUE! Greybreas and Salami or Leberwurst was my whole childhood but i remember it beeing delicious
I have a friend who lives in a small village in Thüringen. He has Brötchen with butter and Nutella for breakfast (or cereal), and usually a sandwich for lunch. Then they always have Kaffee und Kuchen at 17:00. His mom makes a cake at least a few times a week. Then they have a larger dinner just a couple of hours later at 19:30. They grill Bratwurst frequently at their house--probably once a week. She also makes potato salad. They eat many traditional German foods like Schnitzel mit Pommes, Rotkohl, Backfisch, Krautrouladen, Klöße, Blumenkohl, etc. They eat potatoes almost every night. They also pick up pizza or Döner very frequently.
Brötchen mit gelbwurst und butterkäse was my school lunch.
Spaghetti Bolognese was and still is king as far as I'm concerned.
German potato salad with sausages, can't go wrong with that.
Gulasch, dumpling soup was also common and many other common German food.
😍🤤
I love Gelbwurst 😍
MAULTASCHEN😍😍
I am from Austria and we call Meatballs "Faschierte Laibchen"
🤤🤤🤤

A soup my mom made was "Fllädlesuppe" (grüse ausm Schwabenland)
when we hat pancakes an there where leftovers... a day later my mom sliced them an out them in a soup.
Wenn wir Pannkuchen hatten und am nächsten Tag waren welche übrig, hat sie diese geschnitten und in eine Suppe getan 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
You two are just amazing. Keep up the good work!
Thanks a lot! We'll do our best! :)
Frühstück, when my dad was too late, he usually bought Brötchen every morning... I got 50 Pfennig for a Matsch Brötchen!
Warum "Matsch"?
@@geographydragon3016 It's a bread roll with a Schaumkuss mashed (matscht) inside.

Hawaii Toast 😋 not a real meal, actually, but I still love it.... only correct done with "Scheibletten" cheese 😇😍😅
Breakfast : bacon , lettuce, tomato or oatmeal & fruit or cream of wheat
Lunch : grilled cheese and tomato soup , baloney sandwich & potato chips
Supper: pintos beans , potato,corn bread :meat loaf,& mashed potatoes

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.
We always called meat balls "Bulletten" in Germany

My Opa-- born near Bremerhaven--- owned a German Deli in New York City, so I used to eat a ton of German bread every time I was at Opa's house. His wife was an American of Irish descent, and we usually ate cold cuts on Opa's bread.
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.

@@jenniferschiller8354 Da hast du recht. Plastic flaschen schmeken so komisch...
Stilles Wasser geht gar nicht 😂
Love you guys. Yes, we still make meatloaf here in New England. Usually only during the cold months.
my german dad emigrated to the USA in the 1950's, but he was born in 1909. so the packeged food choices you grew up with were totally unavailable to him as a child, and immigrants hold so tight to what they knew as a child. so i grew up with german heritage foods from the 1930's timeframe. plus my german mail order stepmom had been a cook in germany in the 40's and 50's, so we barely had packaged foods at all. a favorite of mine was the peasant mashed potato dish; sauteed onions and bacon mixed into roughly mashed potatoes, then put on a big platter in the middle of the table and everyone would reach across the table and eat from that one dish. milk or buttermilk to drink with it. it was yummy and fun. fancy meals always had red cabbage and semelknodel or potato dumplings on the side with sauerbraten, or rabbit or heart or rouladen
Na @Phil , Geographie ist nicht deine Stärke, oder ? :-)
Der Rote Punkt auf der Karte ist auf Wolfsburg gelandet !
Idk why but I never feel like still water soothes my thirst other than sparkling water, so I only drink sparkling water lol
Great video, was interesting to see Deana's reactions on them ^^
Same here, and of course even better with a big splash of real fruit juice "Schorle" is the best :)
The most common dishes for school lunches in my East German childhood were rice pudding with cinnamon & sugar - Milchreis mit Zimt & Zucker, eggs with mustard sauce - Senfeier, meatballs in a white sauce with capers - Königsberger Klopse, semolina pudding with fruits - Grießbrei mit Früchten, black pudding with sourcroute - Blutwurst mit Sauerkraut also known as Tote Oma (Dead Granny), carrot stew - Möhreneintopf, lentil stew sweet & sour - Linseneintopf süßsauer, chicken fricassee with rice - Hühnerfrikassee mit Reis, creamed spinach with an egg sunny side up - Rahmspinat mit Setzei...
We lived in Paderborn when my son was younger and he loved Miracoli! Mett was popular at breakfast too.
8:50 I just hated Bean Soup when I was younger, now it's ok, eatable 😂✌
Mr Lukbo oder....Steckrüben Suppe 🍜...yuck!
Bohnensuppe, Erbsensuppe, Linsensuppe!! YUCK!!!

stilles Wasser stinken ok mal etwas anderes als es zu trinken
Photography travell er Danke für den Hinweis 😅
Ich trinke auch nur stilles Wasser
Das gleiche.
Ich trinke auch immer nur aus dem Wasserhahn.
I am showing my age, I never had cereal growing up. For breakfast always a brotchen or a pretzel or a slice of leinsamen bread with butter; sometimes with a soft-boiled egg. A big treat was toastbrot and fruhstuck speck. We had a lot of meat/starch/vegetable meals--frikadellen, potato salad, tomato salad or goulash, spaetzle, green beans or pork cutlet, fried potato, asparagus. Sunday always roast, kloese, green or red cabbage; starting with a thin soup in winter or a salad in summer; always compote for dessert. Abendbrot was usually bread, meat and cheese with pickles. If it was cold maybe erbsensuppe, vegetable eintopf, or noodle auflauf. Friday nights was often potato pancakes, quark pancakes or kaiserschmarren; fish if we had company. No dessert in the week, coffee and cake on Sunday afternoon. No soda. Good and everything from scratch.
German breakfast the way I know it: family dad picks up the Brötchen (bread buns - all kinds of types, mother and children prepare the table by putting all of the Aufstriche (Nutella, honey, jam, ham, mortadella, fleischwurst, and many kinds of cheeses) they can find in their kitchen on the table - and children often hace chocolate milk or juice.
Hahahaha, das ist einfach 1:1 das Essen, was es bei uns auch immer gab😂 bin aus Goslar, also ähnliche Region 😄
lol die welt ist klein, grüße aus gs
I'm from lower saxony too!
👋😄
Ich wohne sogar in der markierten Ecke
I was growing up in Nordrhein Westfalen and Sachsen. My favorites as a kid are: Birnen Bohnen und Speck, Mettbrötchen, Möhrengemüse mit Frikadellen. The Kitchen in Saxony took some getting use to me.
grew up Dutch. For breakfast, I had toast w/ butter and hagel liberally sprinkled on it. We had a lot of pork and potatoes too.
We call "Hackepillen" Frikadellen ✌
We call IT Buletten
Or Klopse.
Same - family is from the Rhineland.
Fleischküchle in BaWü
Klopse!
Ich trinke seit Jahren nur Leitungswasser 😂
Senfeier: a low budget dish with Mustard sauce, boiled eggs and boiled potatoes. Additionally served with a small salad.
Kohlrouladen: Minced covered on a leaf of cabbage. Fried it and comes usually with gravy, boiled potatoes and vegetables like green beans.
Überbackene Mettbrötchen: German fresh rolls cut in half. Add pork mince (Mett) diced onions, bell peppers and cover with Gouda or Cheddar cheese. Finally you put it in a oven.
I had some stale bread that I had to use and decided to make some semmelknödel thanks to your suggestion-- very simple to make, but you really need a good sauce to go with it!
I was a fat kid. My step mum would send me to school with a dill pickle,hard boiled egg,& an apple! No one want to switch luches with me.
😅 haha yeah I don't think I'd trade lunches with you.
Eggs with salt aside? With salt, okay you get my Kinderschokoladeriegel, without, beh x.x
sanSDI I was given no salt! Just plain Hard Egg.
And ketchup does not go with everything, especially not rice! Ewww!
I relate a lot as a Dutch. We also have bread in the morning and for lunch. Also one slice of cheese or wurst, or a tosti ham and cheese. We also ate a lot of Kartoffeln (aardappels) and goulash with rice. So good! One thing I still make often from my childhood is what my grandma made: macaroni with tomato sauce and meat from a can (I can't remember what it's called).
I had the same with my Grandma. Some you mentioned we also had, but I think in Brandenburg there are different things too. Most notebly "Pellkartoffeln mit Quark und Leinöl", "Soljanka", "Goulash", "Ei mit Senfsoße" and "Kassler mit Grünkohl".
it is funny how the different regions have different family meals. we often had bratwurst and sauerkraut at christmas and sunday was the rouladen and klöße day with blaukraut. :) love blaukraut and sauerkraut but hate sparkling water as well.
Here in Rhineland, Sauerbraten is a big thing. Usually eaten on Sundays with Potato-Dumplings and red cabbage.
It is fun to listen to you both.
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!!
When I was a child (over 40 years ago) I hate some meals, like the soup with green beans (Schnippelbohnensuppe).
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.
I grew up with weekly meatloaf, spaghetti, and goulash. Occasional ring bologna and sauerkraut. Heritage was Alsace Lorraine and Schleswig Holstein. Almost every meal had meat, potatoes, and some green vegetable.
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 think it is really part of the German culture to have barbecues very often but also Kaffee und Kuchen as a “Snack”. At least I grew up with that
Omg ich hab euren Kanal wieder gefunden. War bestimmt knapp 3 Monate nicht mehr hier und werde jetzt erstmal ein paar Videos gucken😍
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.
We did all sit around the table and eat together. I did the same with my kids. Everybody had to finish, then ask “May I be excused?”. Sometimes I would ask my three children to tell us something interesting about their day.
This was so fun for me to watch because I was born in California, but raised by Germans (from Duisburg) and grew up with a lot of the things Phil ate. 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!
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).
Fleischkäse in a bun was a common meal. We also only had fish fingers with fries, and seidenwürstchen with the mashed potatoes. Bauernfrühstück was also a big thing, it was mostly left over pasta with eggs and some kind of sausage.
Oh we call and the "meat balls" Fleischküchle.
At Austria we just call it "Reisfleisch" but actually without mushrooms.
As an American who has lived in Germany for a number of years....I LOVE sparkling water. They have the best!!! I also love the breakfast with bread and meat, cheese etc. slices. m my friends and I often ate that in the evening as well and they laughed when I said "schon wieder fruhstuck???" But I loved my time in Germany and I think it is a great country.
