My mother (Irish descent) and Dad (German) had a small convenience store and made a meat salad from the left-over ends of lunch meats and with mayo and spices. It was a favorite item in their store.
I'm a German expat living in Switzerland for more than 50 years. My German foods I can't live without are: Brot, Wurst, Döner, Matjesheringe, many varieties of Kohl!
I just adore watching your channel! I am on deployment to Germany and I miss my husband so much. Watching your channel makes me less homesick. Thank you!
When I was small my grandmother gave me a thick slice of "Sauerteigbrot" with butter and "grober Landleberwurst". I loved it! Now my older son became a vegetarian and convinced us to join him. If I will ever return to the meaty fraction it will be because I miss this kind of "Butterbrot". Mayonaisesalads never (zu schmierig), cabbage sometimes, Schorle always, beer sometimes (at the Wiesn or a soccergame). Now I am hungry and I think I will prepare a Gemüsesuppe (with Rosenkohl too).
My heritage is Irish/English/Italian and I love Sauerkraut. My Grandmother use to make it fresh in the winter,and bury it in the snow. Warm Sauerkraut with soften apple slices,black pepper with caraway seeds is my favorite & the purple kraut. Some are much much better than others,that’s for sure.
That actually sounds quite delicious, although I’ve never been a big fan of Sauerkraut. My aunt used to “brown” it a little, so it didn’t taste quite so sour. My heritage is English/German
@@patriciamillin-j3s In USA we have several Sauerkrauts that I’ll classify as Crisp & Crunchy,Super Crisp & typical Jarred & Fermented. I enjoy the latter. One secret for me,drain the liquid or most of it. Draining will severely reduce the sour/acidity flavor. Cabbage is a cruciferous Super Food and fermenting it adds all kinds of good bacteria. Maybe that’s why Germans are trimmer & Live longer? You have Happy Insides.
@@rickyn1135 I think my aunt actually did drain it, maybe that’s why hers wasn’t so sour. I never made it myself, I only ever ate it at my aunt’s or in the canteen at work. In recent years I have unfortunately developed intolerances to certain foods, incl. Sauerkraut.
Growing up in a german community in South America, and based on the literature and teachings of "Entsandlehrer" at our schools, I was under the impression that "Kartoffel" was up there with Bier, Sauerkraut and Bratwurst.
Jen, you are right about döner. I think:🙂 there is a two-type döner to I know. Those are Turkish döner and German Döner. in my opinion, German Döner was created in Berlin. And the German Döner kebab is originally from Germany. Of course, I am not an expert. But I live in Istanbul as a Turkish😊. And I lived for the last two months in Berlin. For the first time, I ate German döner at the turkısh restaurant in Berlin. The döner there was different than Istanbul's döner. That was unlike any doner that I eat in Istanbul. The preparation and content of the meat are also very different. Also, I saw that it was selling as a German doner kebab in Dubai. Maybe, Turkish people have created a different kind of doner than traditional Turkish doner by adding interpretation. When I talked with the döner shop's owner, they had mentioned that they were trying to make it suitable for the taste of Germany.
I can completely live without Fleischsalat. And Sauerkraut once a year is also ok. But I can't live without german bread. Was I Beijing for some weeks. Every bread was made with a ton of sugar. It was a hard time.
My grandparents came from Germany now I know why I love bread and many of the other foods my mom gave us were German . I enjoy watching and learning things about my heritage.

Also love the currywurst dish because it comes without bread, unlike most other meals of fast food world.

Creme Fraiche, Mayonnaise(the egg variant, not the salad milkpowder variant), ketchup, paprika powder (sweet), s&p, little vinegar, tiny amount of cognac. Mix that and leave it be for say 20 minutes to "soak". The rubbing with garlic only perfumes it...
I really appreciate all the videos you made, it is very interesting and full of information for a person who visit Germany the beautiful land I have ever seen.
I am a Northern German and for me it has to be Nordseekrabbensalat mit doppelter Portion Nordseekrabben, Flusskrebssalat mutatis mutandis the same as before, Farmersalat, Weltmeisterbrötchen, Schwarzbrot, Frühlingsquark, Gyros, Döner, Dürüm, Brathering, Dosenhering in sauce, Currywurst, Apfelrotkohl, and Mövenpick Kaffee der Himmlische.
I lived in Germany for a short time years ago and OMGosh I loved eating all kinds of salats eventhough I don't like mayo, but it tasted different; became ADDICTED to apfelschorle, any wurst, sauerkraut, rotkohl salat, döner kebabs, shawarmas, and the delicious bread, Schwarzbrot and pretzels are my favorite. Coming from a small city in Mexico at 22 this was such an eye, and mouth lol, opener!!!
The best German pancake is made with apples baked inside with powdered sugar on top. My grandmother who was born in Cologne made them on top of the stove in a castiron frypan not in the oven. The pancake was thick and the size of a 10" pan. She made them one at a time for each of us who sat quietly at the breakfast table. The apples were soft but not mushy like canned apples.
I think you missed one most important food which issssss none other thaaaaaan.........METT!! my german collegues love mett and they go to the german market on fridays and buy frsh bread, meat and onions and eat fresh. but sadly I am a vegetaarian and could never taste one! its like a tradition in my office! few other observations areeeeeeee....a) not everything is colour+Kohl or Blumenkohl, we have lot of kohlrabi too! b) my german friend loves doner and cant live without it!! c)I think you missed german style kale with potatoes and other similar stews which they serve in the mensa regulary! d) totally agree with you about the beer 24*7*365.
Currywurst: Is not always a bratwurst. It depends on which federal state you are in. The production of the sauce is also different. The original curry sauce was invented in Berlin. In Frankfurt, a pork sausage and a beef sausage are used. In Lower Saxony it is a currywurst sausage. Volkswagen makes over a million of them with Volkswagen Curry Sauce. If you go on a car manufacturing plant tour, you can eat in the restaurant in the Autostadt.
I am Dutch, so from the Netherlands and I lived most of my life in Arnhem (Arnheim) and I would frequently go to Germany for fuel and grocery shopping and curry wurst was always one of the items, for sure, was currywurst. In the 6,5 years I lived in Gdansk, Poland I never saw it, but guess what, here in Athens Greece they had it for 1 week at the Greek Lidl. In 2 varieties. And also 1 week there was Dutch kibbeling.
For me: Döner, bread, acceptable beer, onions, good milk. Not necessary for a happy life but highly liked are: both kinds of Bratwürste, Leberwurst (the good kind, pfälzisch), cheese, asparagus, sparkling water for Weinschorle, Schupfnudeln, Mayo, Leberkäse, fries of some kind, normal pizza, Wirsing soup, Lauch.
We love oure bread, because it´s the easyts and cheapest way, to fill your stromach. Whith Wurst, Mett, Käse, Quark, Marmelade oder Honig. If it gets a little dry, mix some eggs with salt and pepper and dump breadslices in it. Then put it in a pan. Goldenbrown and delicious!
Pickled herring. Jever Pilsener (my favorite beer. Blutwurst. (Bloodsausage) Gebrannte Mandeln ( a treat) I eat Sauerkraut directly out of the glass, in the morning. Good for my microbiome.
I would add pfannkuchen to the list. Just walking down the street in Rügen, I smelled that somebody is cooking pfannkuchen. Felt very nostalgic. Have not cooked pancakes for years.
Love your videos..I am German living in the USA and I can not find any good German bread..it breaks my heart..that is the #1 thing I miss the most..thank you for sharing 💙
Meat salad: All salads with mayonnaise are spreads. Eaten at home. It is also served at breakfast in a bakery. In the catering trade, this is always a green salad with dressing.
After the health-fixated and vegetarian / vegan trends in society in recent years, I have to honestly say that I did not necessarily expect your meaty examples, but I would like to agree with them unreservedly. I like everything you've listed.
A lot of younger Germans are vegetarian or even vegan. It’s very common to find meat substitutes or a vegetable options of these foods. Especially the bigger cities have a ton of places for all kind of diets :)
I visit a restaurant in Aldea Brasilera/Entre Ríos/Argentina, a town founded by Germans. And I tried german sausage, chucrut, german potatoes, and cow meat (i don't remember the name of the recipe) and it was delicious. I can't live without asado, milanesas, choripan, and empanadas and fernet with coke. And yes I like cabbage 😁 and I ❤️ meat.
So I am officially a German! 🎊😄 Which I already knew by the way, but this is the ultimate confirmation. 😊 Ohh, I can't wait for those tasty breakfasts again... we have all of this range of food, but it's not as much as tasty as the German versions... I mean originals of everything. 😋 Only thing I don't remember while in Germany, I think it's the Schorle. And I can't wait for it, something tells me it's a thing well to my liking. And yes. Everything you talk about is exactly as I know it, as I love it, as I miss it... and so on. Very very good. 🍴
Vegan/Vegetarian Döner is a thing! In Düsseldorf, Gemüse Döner by Bilk S station has both meat and seitan options, and I’ve had a seitan döner in Berlin too. And of course, many döner places will do something quite similar with falafel.
Seit ich selbst fermentiere und auch mehr Rohkost zubereite, ist Kohl deutlich wichtiger für mich geworden. Egal welcher Kohl, roh oder knackig warm gemacht mag ihn am lieber als weich gekocht.
Love this video I love bratwurst I love it so much I have flown to Frankfurt from the States just for it. I was introduced to it 2002 at the Frankfurt airport on the US military side. I haven travelled back to Germany at least once a year if not twice for it.
You girls!!! you forgot to mention German Kuchen/Torte 🍰!!! I‘m not into sweet food and Germany has changed my mind and tatse since I first tried that first traditional Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte 🤤!! haha you should do another video of all the kinds of 🎂💞.
Ha ha, true! I’m not a fan of Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte (I don’t like sour cherries), but some cakes are really awesome. My mum always said Germans make the best cake, but the English make the best chocolate.
@@alicemilne1444 I like the creamy parts, not the cherries, lol. I like fresh cherries or sweet cherries, but not the sour ones (Schattenmorellen) they use for those cakes.
Just found you guys , enjoyed your beer glass video, im of German descent, grgr grandfather was from Darmstadt. Heading to Bavaria again to review some beers. Keep up the vids. I subbed u guys.
At least here, in Santa Cruz, California, there is definitely more than 1 taqueria per 5,000 inhabitants. I bet it's actually true through much of the US southwest. When I visit Germany, I prefer to order a Yufka, a Turkish burrito...
I couldn't live without the "Fleischsalat" of that specific butcher of our town. And yes.. my husband has to be quick, if he wants to have his share of it. 😀
Hallo Ihr zwei , ich bin deutsch und esse kein Brot, weil ich es nicht mag und auch nicht gut vertrage. Es geht sehr gut ohne 🙂 Ein toller Kanal, wirklich interesannt.
I love almost every type of cabbage. Wirsing is my favorite. Also Wirsingrouladen 😍 I don't really need Schorle in my life but Apfelschorle can be really refreshing in summer sometimes. Beer is awesome, though. Also Döner! There are so many varieties and you can put anything you want in there.
When I was a kid living in Germany we used to buy these hot brötchen on the way to school sometimes. Such wonderful hard rolls that were steaming hot and then you'd dab a bit of butter or even better, Kräuterbutter!!!
Ich schaue Euch immer wieder gern. Die Auswahl der typisch deutschen Gerichte trifft es recht gut. Ihr habt Recht: Brot wäre das, was ich an Deutschland am meisten vermissen würde. :-)
Wonderful video: Creative, informative, funny! My 2 Pfennige: Fleischsalat: No ham but sausage - Fleischwurst. Cabbage: Love it but don't eat it often. Mostly in Winter. My favourites are Wirsing (savoy cabbage) and Blumenkohl (cauliflour). 9:40 Jen getting into German: "Jo, jo!" Döner: This is the story I believe! But the sales points frequently are a disgrace: Chains with cheap crap disguising as "Döner". Buyers beware! Agree to the last point: Can't live without German bread!!
I love love love the bread here!! It’s everywhere, even on the train platforms so you can get a quick breakfast on your way to work. Those pretzels with butter and chives are to die for, they’re so good.
Ihr Damen seid fantastisch! Love your videos so much better than Feli from Germany! Vermisse deutsches Mampfie! Schnabuliere sehr gern feine Gerichte! Grüsse aus Canada, formerly from B. W. ❤
I loved your video, as always though 💗 but, I am a vegetarian, not beer or bread and potato lover.. and I am going to move to Germany next month with my husband.. now I'm really confused.. Will we survive there at all 😅 what are we supposed to eat there? 😎😬
I can't live without Currywurst :-) Trivia: - In the cities of Ruhr area, it is often called: "Ruhrpott Carpaccio" (because the Wurst is sliced). - There is an ongoing battle between the Ruhr area and Berlin who invented the Currywurst. - Herbert Grönemeyer, a popular singer-songwriter and coming from Bochum, a town in the Ruhr area, wrote a famous song about the Currywurst: ruclips.net/video/MnZT0cXNRJQ/видео.html . - In the northern part of Germany, the Currywurst is not made out of a "Bratwurst" but a fried "Brühwurst".
Bratwurst im Broetchen - Heaven is a place on earth. Everytime I fly home to Germany and arrive and Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof for my train home I go to that stall where they sell them and have one....heavenly!For Christmas Nudelsalat & Wuerstchen is nice too. Living in Ireland I love shopping at a German discounter who has quite a few German-ish produce there. Oh and Sauerkraut - yuckety-yuck! Not for me. NO real cabbage fan either, I only like Blumenkohl (Cauliflower)
I actually think there is a frontier between north and south when it comes to the use of mayo in salad, like potato or meat (Wurstsalat 😅) . Very funny list with such a lovely sense of humor
Could very well live without Butter, Fleischsalat, Currywurst, Beer... When it comes to Sauerkraut, I prefer when it comes with Krautschupfnudle (a Southern German dish you usually get at Christmas market for example...) I quite like Wirsing though. And I love Döner! I never knew that there are 16.000 Dönerbuden - wow! And I turned into a "Süßfrühstücker" since I live in the south. I love the vegan Leberwurst from Rügenwalder Mühle! And ABSOLUTELY - I would SO miss German bread!
I'm already aware that this 'topic' is a whooole science of its own. 😂 Bier is a beverage but it's also nourishing, it's an (mostly and normally) an alcoholic drink, but it's also tradition and the most OK'd in public and for any occasion.. So what does one make of all of it combined? I think they're going to touch on drinks/beverage in more detail, so you're right - BIER does fall under the food and the beverage categories altogether. 😂
Except for currywurst and doner kebabs, (not available in my small town) I absolutely love these foods, and the bratwurst is loved in the USA upper Midwest. Also great if you're on the Keto diet (rather popular here too). And your German bread is REALLY bread that's good!
Can i live without Schorle? Yup. Easy. I do like the two components separately, but don't need them combined. As for Kohl, it depends on the type. Rosenkohl I can very much live without, thank you very much. Rot- and Grünkohl I do like every so often. In terms of meat, however, it gets a little tricky for me. Yes, i do very much like meat as food, but for I can also settle for something else - with the caveat that i end up feeling hungry again not too long after.
Döner has a Lot of Stories. I heard that someone was wondering, why the original turkish didn't sell as good as thought. Usually IT IS Just meat in a bread. So He added salad, RAW Red cabbage, onions and a slice of tomatoe to it. And you can't sell anything warm without Sauce. Even a Bratwurst has mustard. So He also created a Sauce for the Döner. There is also a Story that a greek created a gyro pita with salad and the Green stuff which was copied
I have to say I'm vegetarian, so won't have most of those when I move to Germay hahaha. But regardless, I was in Germany for a couple of weeks when I was about 18 yo and OMG I feel in love with Apfelschorle and can't wait to be back in Germany to have more!! Also, I'm Spanish and I can't live without bread, so will be awesome to try some when (hopefully) I move to Germany early next year!
#1 I have no problem living without Fleischsalat. I prefer Swabian or Swiss Wurstsalat (Swabian = mixed with black sausage, Swiss = mixed with Emmentaler cheese), which both are made without any mayonaisse. #2 Butter I can't live without. I buy our weekly ration mostly at the farmer's market, which roughly calculates as around 300-400 g per (adult) person and week. #3 I like Apfelschorle, especially in the summer, but I don't need it. #4 I think the last Currywurst I ate was at least 2 years ago, but there were times I had (in average) each second month at least one. I don't like the canteen variety, however, and try to avoid it. #5 I can live for long times without Sauerkraut, but not a whole winter season. It has to be a good one, however - mildly fermented and aromatic, not too sour. As a Swabian I like Krautspätzle - Sauerkraut and Spätzle fried together in butter, seasoned with a little caraway (maybe) and black pepper (mustbe) and perhaps some bacon pieces. If you cook it, you should never forget the apples - either cuts heated within the Sauerkraut or a side dish of applesauce (but not puréed, only coarse cuts cooked al dente). That's traditional and yummy. Regarding the butcher: Sauerkraut is a tradiitional staple of the "Schlachtplatte", the "butcher's plate", which includes also "Blut- und Leberwurst" (a blood and a liver sausage to be cooked within the Sauerkraut) and mostly also some kind of smoked pork (also to be cooked within the Sauerkraut). #6 Like Sauerkraut most kinds of cabbage are rather a seasonal thing for fall, winter and early spring. Rosenkohl (brussels, in German named after the look of the buds) is best after the first frost (it removes the bitterness by changing it to sweetness). My mother likes Rotkohl (red cabbage), so it is a frequent side dish at Sundays. Irrelevant fact: There was a time as food was rationed after WW II. Without food ration cards (which e.g. farmers didn't get) you could only order "Stammessen" in restaurants, which was usually red cabbage, applesauce and mashed potatoes. #7 Every statistics you can find will show: The Czech Republic is the country with the highest consumption of beer per capita by far. The next ranks differ by year and source, but Germany makes mostly the third place (after either Ireland or the Seychelles (must be the tourists)), and it shares it often with Austria (and sometimes either Australia or Namibia). But the consumption dropped due to covid by about 5% (because of closed pubs and restaurants). Germany remains however the biggest producer of beer in Europe (and holds the 5th rank in the world). #8 Same as Currywurst: I lived at least for 2 or 3 years now without, so it is possible. The question is, however: Is a life without really worth living? #9 I don't need any meat or Wurst in my breakfast. Actually we have it only at weekends (and I myself often not even then, see below at #11). #10 Here the answer is obvious: Live without German bakeries may be possible (for short times at least), but it is definitely not worth living. #11 What I missed: CHEESE! I could definitely not live without. #12 Apples.
German Bread is nicer than chocolate , fills you up and makes you feel good. And so many varieties with nuts and seeds. I am German and when I fist moved to England over 40 years ago I missed bread the most. English bread than was a tasteless disgrace. Only fit to be toasted to disguise the fact there was no taste to it.But luckily things have changed and I can buy my german style rye bread any were now.

I'm learning more from your videos than from my observation from the past 5 months living in Berlin. I love the happy way of presentation :)
In the South of Germany and Austria potatosalad with mayo is a No Go.
In the south Fleischsalat also does not contain mayo (and it is called Wurstsalat)
Growing up in a german community in South America, and based on the literature and teachings of "Entsandlehrer" at our schools, I was under the impression that "Kartoffel" was up there with Bier, Sauerkraut and Bratwurst.
Oh it is, especially among older people. My grandma basically eats potatoes every day, she rarely eats other carbs.

Currywurst: Is not always a bratwurst. It depends on which federal state you are in. The production of the sauce is also different. The original curry sauce was invented in Berlin.
In Frankfurt, a pork sausage and a beef sausage are used.
In Lower Saxony it is a currywurst sausage. Volkswagen makes over a million of them with Volkswagen Curry Sauce. If you go on a car manufacturing plant tour, you can eat in the restaurant in the Autostadt.
I am Dutch, so from the Netherlands and I lived most of my life in Arnhem (Arnheim) and I would frequently go to Germany for fuel and grocery shopping and curry wurst was always one of the items, for sure, was currywurst. In the 6,5 years I lived in Gdansk, Poland I never saw it, but guess what, here in Athens Greece they had it for 1 week at the Greek Lidl. In 2 varieties. And also 1 week there was Dutch kibbeling.
For me: Döner, bread, acceptable beer, onions, good milk. Not necessary for a happy life but highly liked are: both kinds of Bratwürste, Leberwurst (the good kind, pfälzisch), cheese, asparagus, sparkling water for Weinschorle, Schupfnudeln, Mayo, Leberkäse, fries of some kind, normal pizza, Wirsing soup, Lauch.
We love oure bread, because it´s the easyts and cheapest way, to fill your stromach. Whith Wurst, Mett, Käse, Quark, Marmelade oder Honig. If it gets a little dry, mix some eggs with salt and pepper and dump breadslices in it. Then put it in a pan. Goldenbrown and delicious!
Pickled herring.
Jever Pilsener (my favorite beer.
Blutwurst. (Bloodsausage)
Gebrannte Mandeln ( a treat)
I eat Sauerkraut directly out of the glass, in the morning. Good for my microbiome.
I like all the stuff on the list. Maybe I could set aside two or three things, but certainly not all of them. Btw. "Mett" should have it's own point.
on point :-)
I would add pfannkuchen to the list. Just walking down the street in Rügen, I smelled that somebody is cooking pfannkuchen. Felt very nostalgic. Have not cooked pancakes for years.
Love your videos..I am German living in the USA and I can not find any good German bread..it breaks my heart..that is the #1 thing I miss the most..thank you for sharing 💙
Meat salad: All salads with mayonnaise are spreads. Eaten at home. It is also served at breakfast in a bakery.
In the catering trade, this is always a green salad with dressing.
I love bratwurst, currywurst, and kebabs. Was stationed in Frankfurt a long time ago.
After the health-fixated and vegetarian / vegan trends in society in recent years, I have to honestly say that I did not necessarily expect your meaty examples, but I would like to agree with them unreservedly. I like everything you've listed.
Found your channel and love the information you provide. Every time I watch your videos I say “smoothly “ along with the hand gesture.
Fun. I speak German fluently so I enjoyed you video!
Vacationing in Germany and looking for food to try. And this is a good list as a reference :D
In Hassia there is Fleischsalat without mayonnaise.its with oil etc.
Schorle is also called Half- half, because its half juice, half sparkling water
A lot of younger Germans are vegetarian or even vegan. It’s very common to find meat substitutes or a vegetable options of these foods. Especially the bigger cities have a ton of places for all kind of diets :)
A lot of older people too!😂 I (52) am vegan for about a year and I'm pretty happy that Germany improves its vegan skills more and more! 😊
I visit a restaurant in Aldea Brasilera/Entre Ríos/Argentina, a town founded by Germans. And I tried german sausage, chucrut, german potatoes, and cow meat (i don't remember the name of the recipe) and it was delicious.
I can't live without asado, milanesas, choripan, and empanadas and fernet with coke.
And yes I like cabbage 😁 and I ❤️ meat.
Thanks for sharing! I’ve tried fernet and coke and did not really like it 😅 -J
So I am officially a German! 🎊😄 Which I already knew by the way, but this is the ultimate confirmation. 😊 Ohh, I can't wait for those tasty breakfasts again... we have all of this range of food, but it's not as much as tasty as the German versions... I mean originals of everything. 😋 Only thing I don't remember while in Germany, I think it's the Schorle. And I can't wait for it, something tells me it's a thing well to my liking. And yes. Everything you talk about is exactly as I know it, as I love it, as I miss it... and so on. Very very good. 🍴
You both are so sweet! I am moving to Germany next week so I am watching so many of your videos!!
Vegan/Vegetarian Döner is a thing! In Düsseldorf, Gemüse Döner by Bilk S station has both meat and seitan options, and I’ve had a seitan döner in Berlin too. And of course, many döner places will do something quite similar with falafel.
balli is great too but pretty expensive
I LOVE Nuernberg Roastbrats !
I order them from a shop in mid Missouri! .......I plan next year to hit Christmas Markets throughout Germany !
I love döner khebab soooo much my favorite German meal
Seit ich selbst fermentiere und auch mehr Rohkost zubereite, ist Kohl deutlich wichtiger für mich geworden. Egal welcher Kohl, roh oder knackig warm gemacht mag ihn am lieber als weich gekocht.
love all kinds of bread. can you imagine being german and having to eat gluten free? my cousin's twins can't eat bread. unimaginable to me.
I think that cabbage is mostly important in northern Germany and thus a big example of the diffence of the different regions in Germany
I am brazilian and we are the same as the Germans with butter hahah we have so many options to buy and it is a must have in every breakfast here!
I love the way you both of you say smoothly ❤️🥰🇯🇵🇩🇪🇨🇦🇨🇴
I don't know what I was thinking when I decided to become vegetarian just before moving to Germany 🤦
Hi Jen and Yvonne ... I live in Bavaria and I love Brezen, Brot und Semmeln (Brötchen) and I don't want to live without all that tasty food
Love this video I love bratwurst I love it so much I have flown to Frankfurt from the States just for it. I was introduced to it 2002 at the Frankfurt airport on the US military side. I haven travelled back to Germany at least once a year if not twice for it.
You girls!!! you forgot to mention German Kuchen/Torte 🍰!!! I‘m not into sweet food and Germany has changed my mind and tatse since I first tried that first traditional Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte 🤤!! haha you should do another video of all the kinds of 🎂💞.
Hahaha, yes there needs to be room for a part 2 one day 😉
Ha ha, true! I’m not a fan of Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte (I don’t like sour cherries), but some cakes are really awesome. My mum always said Germans make the best cake, but the English make the best chocolate.
@@patriciamillin-j3s But Donauwelle is awesome.
@@alicemilne1444 I like the creamy parts, not the cherries, lol. I like fresh cherries or sweet cherries, but not the sour ones (Schattenmorellen) they use for those cakes.
@@patriciamillin-j3s I don't agree the Swiss and the Beligan make the best chocolate. You have to triy tham if you don't belive me.😁
I am now working in Holland, I miss shupfulnudeln mit saurkraut. Easy simple dinner
Was in der Liste fehlt sind die ganzen süßen Sachen: Kekse, Kuchen und Torten. Ein weites Feld. :)
Hahahh! It wasn't cut out! I love this video!
Just found you guys , enjoyed your beer glass video, im of German descent, grgr grandfather was from Darmstadt. Heading to Bavaria again to review some beers. Keep up the vids. I subbed u guys.
At least here, in Santa Cruz, California, there is definitely more than 1 taqueria per 5,000 inhabitants. I bet it's actually true through much of the US southwest. When I visit Germany, I prefer to order a Yufka, a Turkish burrito...
I couldn't live without the "Fleischsalat" of that specific butcher of our town. And yes.. my husband has to be quick, if he wants to have his share of it. 😀
Perfect transition between the two most important things: Brot und Flüssig-Brot😂😂
😉
Hallo Ihr zwei , ich bin deutsch und esse kein Brot, weil ich es nicht mag und auch nicht gut vertrage. Es geht sehr gut ohne 🙂 Ein toller Kanal, wirklich interesannt.
Ihr seit so goldig !
I love almost every type of cabbage. Wirsing is my favorite. Also Wirsingrouladen 😍 I don't really need Schorle in my life but Apfelschorle can be really refreshing in summer sometimes. Beer is awesome, though. Also Döner! There are so many varieties and you can put anything you want in there.
you musst try "Krautnudeln" :)
@@xDasMottex oooh, was Google ausspuckt, sieht verdammt lecker aus 😋
When I was a kid living in Germany we used to buy these hot brötchen on the way to school sometimes. Such wonderful hard rolls that were steaming hot and then you'd dab a bit of butter or even better, Kräuterbutter!!!
That sounds really delicious!
You girls have such great chemistry! Love it 😍
I personnally try to reduce meat more and more... even though I like it very much. I consider it a luxury theese days.
Ich schaue Euch immer wieder gern. Die Auswahl der typisch deutschen Gerichte trifft es recht gut. Ihr habt Recht: Brot wäre das, was ich an Deutschland am meisten vermissen würde. :-)
Schöne Liste. Bei dem Thema Schorle vermisse ich aber Weinschorle, an einem heißen Sommertag gerne auch mit Eis....
My favorite German food is Flamkuchen and shupfulnudeln, of course with weisbier
Wonderful video: Creative, informative, funny!
My 2 Pfennige:
Fleischsalat: No ham but sausage - Fleischwurst.
Cabbage: Love it but don't eat it often. Mostly in Winter. My favourites are Wirsing (savoy cabbage) and Blumenkohl (cauliflour).
9:40 Jen getting into German: "Jo, jo!"
Döner: This is the story I believe! But the sales points frequently are a disgrace: Chains with cheap crap disguising as "Döner". Buyers beware!
Agree to the last point: Can't live without German bread!!
Haha I'm english and the only thing i could live without thats on your list is sauerkraut. I guess thats why Lidl and aldi do so well in the UK.
Yvonne, try Orange + Sekt + blue Curacao (liqueur) and you get "grüne Wiese". So yummy! It's more a thing in the east
I am Dutch, live in Isbon, Portugal and I am a true carnivore and I love bread.
Shrimp Coctail is actually the Americanized version of Krabbensalat. So yes, it is a kind of Salat.
I love love love the bread here!! It’s everywhere, even on the train platforms so you can get a quick breakfast on your way to work. Those pretzels with butter and chives are to die for, they’re so good.
Absolutely love German breakfasts 😍
Kartoffeln, Fleischsalat, Mayo
und Gurkenwasser. Der beste
Kartoffelsalat.😋
Danke schion ...Guten tag...!!
Westfalische salami, that's what I always got at InterMarché and LeClerk (yes, Poland has French supermarkets)
Backfischbrötchen! a must have! Am besten mit Wels oder Krabben.
Ihr Damen seid fantastisch! Love your videos so much better than Feli from Germany! Vermisse deutsches Mampfie! Schnabuliere sehr gern feine Gerichte! Grüsse aus Canada, formerly from B. W. ❤
I loved your video, as always though 💗 but, I am a vegetarian, not beer or bread and potato lover.. and I am going to move to Germany next month with my husband.. now I'm really confused.. Will we survive there at all 😅 what are we supposed to eat there? 😎😬
I can't live without Currywurst :-)
Trivia:
- In the cities of Ruhr area, it is often called: "Ruhrpott Carpaccio" (because the Wurst is sliced).
- There is an ongoing battle between the Ruhr area and Berlin who invented the Currywurst.
- Herbert Grönemeyer, a popular singer-songwriter and coming from Bochum, a town in the Ruhr area, wrote a famous song about the Currywurst: ruclips.net/video/MnZT0cXNRJQ/видео.html .
- In the northern part of Germany, the Currywurst is not made out of a "Bratwurst" but a fried "Brühwurst".
Bratwurst im Broetchen - Heaven is a place on earth. Everytime I fly home to Germany and arrive and Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof for my train home I go to that stall where they sell them and have one....heavenly!For Christmas Nudelsalat & Wuerstchen is nice too. Living in Ireland I love shopping at a German discounter who has quite a few German-ish produce there.
Oh and Sauerkraut - yuckety-yuck! Not for me. NO real cabbage fan either, I only like Blumenkohl (Cauliflower)
I actually think there is a frontier between north and south when it comes to the use of mayo in salad, like potato or meat (Wurstsalat 😅) . Very funny list with such a lovely sense of humor
Could very well live without Butter, Fleischsalat, Currywurst, Beer... When it comes to Sauerkraut, I prefer when it comes with Krautschupfnudle (a Southern German dish you usually get at Christmas market for example...) I quite like Wirsing though. And I love Döner! I never knew that there are 16.000 Dönerbuden - wow! And I turned into a "Süßfrühstücker" since I live in the south. I love the vegan Leberwurst from Rügenwalder Mühle! And ABSOLUTELY - I would SO miss German bread!
I think it’s so funny- and so accurate- that BIER is on your list of foods! I live in Bavaria, and it’s regarded as a Lebensmittel here, 😂!
I'm already aware that this 'topic' is a whooole science of its own. 😂 Bier is a beverage but it's also nourishing, it's an (mostly and normally) an alcoholic drink, but it's also tradition and the most OK'd in public and for any occasion.. So what does one make of all of it combined? I think they're going to touch on drinks/beverage in more detail, so you're right - BIER does fall under the food and the beverage categories altogether. 😂
It is because it makes you fat😋
Except for currywurst and doner kebabs, (not available in my small town) I absolutely love these foods, and the bratwurst is loved in the USA upper Midwest. Also great if you're on the Keto diet (rather popular here too). And your German bread is REALLY bread that's good!
Can i live without Schorle? Yup. Easy. I do like the two components separately, but don't need them combined.
As for Kohl, it depends on the type. Rosenkohl I can very much live without, thank you very much. Rot- and Grünkohl I do like every so often.
In terms of meat, however, it gets a little tricky for me. Yes, i do very much like meat as food, but for I can also settle for something else - with the caveat that i end up feeling hungry again not too long after.
Döner has a Lot of Stories. I heard that someone was wondering, why the original turkish didn't sell as good as thought. Usually IT IS Just meat in a bread. So He added salad, RAW Red cabbage, onions and a slice of tomatoe to it. And you can't sell anything warm without Sauce. Even a Bratwurst has mustard. So He also created a Sauce for the Döner.
There is also a Story that a greek created a gyro pita with salad and the Green stuff which was copied
I have to say I'm vegetarian, so won't have most of those when I move to Germay hahaha. But regardless, I was in Germany for a couple of weeks when I was about 18 yo and OMG I feel in love with Apfelschorle and can't wait to be back in Germany to have more!! Also, I'm Spanish and I can't live without bread, so will be awesome to try some when (hopefully) I move to Germany early next year!
#1 I have no problem living without Fleischsalat. I prefer Swabian or Swiss Wurstsalat (Swabian = mixed with black sausage, Swiss = mixed with Emmentaler cheese), which both are made without any mayonaisse.
#2 Butter I can't live without. I buy our weekly ration mostly at the farmer's market, which roughly calculates as around 300-400 g per (adult) person and week.
#3 I like Apfelschorle, especially in the summer, but I don't need it.
#4 I think the last Currywurst I ate was at least 2 years ago, but there were times I had (in average) each second month at least one. I don't like the canteen variety, however, and try to avoid it.
#5 I can live for long times without Sauerkraut, but not a whole winter season. It has to be a good one, however - mildly fermented and aromatic, not too sour. As a Swabian I like Krautspätzle - Sauerkraut and Spätzle fried together in butter, seasoned with a little caraway (maybe) and black pepper (mustbe) and perhaps some bacon pieces. If you cook it, you should never forget the apples - either cuts heated within the Sauerkraut or a side dish of applesauce (but not puréed, only coarse cuts cooked al dente). That's traditional and yummy. Regarding the butcher: Sauerkraut is a tradiitional staple of the "Schlachtplatte", the "butcher's plate", which includes also "Blut- und Leberwurst" (a blood and a liver sausage to be cooked within the Sauerkraut) and mostly also some kind of smoked pork (also to be cooked within the Sauerkraut).
#6 Like Sauerkraut most kinds of cabbage are rather a seasonal thing for fall, winter and early spring. Rosenkohl (brussels, in German named after the look of the buds) is best after the first frost (it removes the bitterness by changing it to sweetness). My mother likes Rotkohl (red cabbage), so it is a frequent side dish at Sundays. Irrelevant fact: There was a time as food was rationed after WW II. Without food ration cards (which e.g. farmers didn't get) you could only order "Stammessen" in restaurants, which was usually red cabbage, applesauce and mashed potatoes.
#7 Every statistics you can find will show: The Czech Republic is the country with the highest consumption of beer per capita by far. The next ranks differ by year and source, but Germany makes mostly the third place (after either Ireland or the Seychelles (must be the tourists)), and it shares it often with Austria (and sometimes either Australia or Namibia). But the consumption dropped due to covid by about 5% (because of closed pubs and restaurants). Germany remains however the biggest producer of beer in Europe (and holds the 5th rank in the world).
#8 Same as Currywurst: I lived at least for 2 or 3 years now without, so it is possible. The question is, however: Is a life without really worth living?
#9 I don't need any meat or Wurst in my breakfast. Actually we have it only at weekends (and I myself often not even then, see below at #11).
#10 Here the answer is obvious: Live without German bakeries may be possible (for short times at least), but it is definitely not worth living.
#11 What I missed: CHEESE! I could definitely not live without.
#12 Apples.
I saw Döner kebab with bread more than 15 years ago in Turkey
German Bread is nicer than chocolate , fills you up and makes you feel good. And so many varieties with nuts and seeds. I am German and when I fist moved to England over 40 years ago I missed bread the most. English bread than was a tasteless disgrace. Only fit to be toasted to disguise the fact there was no taste to it.But luckily things have changed and I can buy my german style rye bread any were now.
So happy that Bier is considered a food!! 😂😍🍻
Hallo ihr beiden, ich vermisse mein Lieblingsfestessen - rheinischer Sauerbraten mit Knödel und Rotkohl ;-)
