1:54 „What is marzipan?“ OMG! Somebody send this man a care package from Lübeck!
yeah , honestly ryan should try plain marzipan!
Was erwartest du? er ist doch Amerikaner. :-)
Definitely. Or a recipe - my mum makes her own and it's like heaven.
Send me one as well please. :D
The land of the free knows no Marzipan, or Persipan, or human rights for children...
Someone should absolutely send you a package full of typical german candy stuff, so you can react to tasting that. This would be a good video.
I would, but I don´t have the address loool
So would I
And a "Sau'rbraten", to prove, we germans like sour stuff...even sour pot roast xD
Salty Licorice, Marzipan, Kinderschokolade und Edle Tropfen in Nuss. Japp, das wär spaßig.
I did send him some but then was told by people in the comments on his Aussie channel that Ryan isn’t taking care packages anymore.🤷♀️ I obviously missed that memo.
I was shopping. One of my kids points to the import shelf at REWE:
"Dad, what's Hershey?"
My Answer: "Imagine a European chocolate manufacturer got so drunk he forgot everything he ever learned. The result is Hershey chocolate."
It tastes burnt
How can they burn it and think that’s normal?
This is the best description I have ever heard of Hershey's Chocolate! Made my day :D
Hershey chocolate is the devil's vomit.
I remember trying it in while in America and it kind of had an aftertaste of vomit?
Very off putting 😂😂
I was curious since I heard about it being special to Americans. Thanks for letting us know. 👍
Life's to short to eat bad chocolate.
Applies to Easter Bunnies and Santa Clauses made of chocolate, too! 😊
The German recipe against a cold is: rest, herbal tea, drink a lot in general, hot showers (not when having fever!), cold cloth on your calves (when having high fever), neti pot, airing out the room religiously and more rest. 🙂
Also eating light and healthy foods like chicken soup.
Your average cold will last 7 days if you take meds, if you don't it lasts a week.
Edit to add: camomile steam baths are also fantastic.
and a warm beer with honey
Und ein Teelöffel Jägermeister nicht vergessen
Danke vielmals! Habe dies schon lange gebraucht!
@@piiinkDeluxe please do the math in the days again.
I drank american coke once and i could hear my insulin screaming for help.
not only the insulin.... 😂everything in my body was screaming at me...
I usually drink light stuff or real fruit juice. When I had 2 glasses of Pepsi my body got really strange and I knew I had to stop to survive. And that was "just" the European stuff.
American coke source of sugar -> Sugarcane
German coke source of sugar -> Sugar beet
And this makes a big difference, because:
Sugarcrane = 100 % fructose
Sugar beet = 50 % fructose and 50 % glucose
Glucose is less sweet and the more healthy sugar. It tells your brain, when you have eaten enough from it. This is not the case when eating fructose. As a result, if you eat fructose, you can eat more and more, your brain will not say: stop, it's enough.
lol😂
@@benjibenji2333 Do you disagree?
Well I'm a grown man, watching another grown man, watching children eat candy... It doesnt get better :D
Im a15 year old german girl and i LOVE dark chokolate😭
Im also so proud of these kid,they seem like they're 8-11 and they're so polite and sweet and smart😭
Tipp: wirf Bitterschokolade und gefrorene früchte (und ggf etwas Milch) in einen Mixer. Bestes Eis ever 🤤
Ich bin mit schwarzer Schokolade sogar aufgewachsen. Ich hatte keine Wahl wenn ich Schokolade essen wollte. Dank meiner Kindheitsallergie konnte ich keine normale Milchschokolade essen. Das ist zum Glück vorbei denn ich habe furchtbar darunter gelitten keine Milchschokolade essen zu können wie andere. Heute esse ich alle Schokoladen abwechselnd, einmal schwarze, einmal Normale und auch weiße Schokolade.
Ich liebe Bitterschokolade.
Es schmeckt schokier, weniger zuckrig und wenn ueber 85% Kakao gut fuers Herz.
Wait. Is marzipan not a thing in the US?
Anyways. Weird selection tbh. But to be fair in those kinds of videos they always have weird selections, regardless of the country.
It's basically pure sugar, why don't they have this?
@@dennisba85 Because they would substitute the ground almonds with some cheaper surrogate with almond flavor. 😆😆
if you want him to hate his life forever, yeah. Marzipan is awful
American Marzipan is so different from German marzipan, that it will skew his opinion on it. They don't use almonds or rose water. Just more sugar and chemicals.
@@ElaMongrella that wouldbe horrible, he has to import it
these children are talking sooo politely lol
They sound dumb 😅
Wie Adelige vom Hofe. ;)
You can see in their eyes they often don't like it😂
unlike americans they know how to behave
what? if thats really polite then man how rude are the people around you?
I like how the translation makes "tastes great" from "schmecken tut's". If someone would just say "schmecken tut's" to my food I would through the food into the garbage and that person out of my house :)
No really, those kids did not like a bit of anything, they just were polite in there judgement :) "Do I have to eat this up?" :D
But to be fair, peanut butter is not that widely eaten here.
There was a video on youtube, that explained the main difference between US and European chocolate, and why Europeans think, US chocolate has a vomit like taste :)
Also the chocolate I eat is 80 to 90% cacao. Am I weird now?
Yes, I didn't like the translation of "schmecken tut's" zu "tastes great". It's more of an equivalent to "tastes okay".
@@yukirei528 No, it definitely isn't. Tastes great is right. Tastes okay would be more like "naja, man kanns essen".
@@Llortnerof maybe it's just a difference in hearing the subtone, but I have definitely used that phrase more often for an okay-ish taste. Like on the range of okay to good... To me "great" sounds way too enthusiastic. If the kid had said "schmeckt super!", I'd have used "tastes great".
But as I said, it's probably just a matter of tone in this sentence. ^-^"
@@yukirei528 You can do the same with "tastes great". Or really, most things. An unenthused, flat delivery is almost always seen as ironic. Do remember though that Americans tend to be more exuberant, while Germans, especially from the north, tend to be more muted.
@@Llortnerof I see your point. Why I wrote my comment initially was, 'cause he apparently got a way more positive impression from the translation than the german expression would have warranted. (Like he said "Oh, I knew they'd like that!" or something along those lines)
That's why I thought it was worth mentioning. :)
Finally Ryan knows what it's like to watch people react to things from your culture.
I love dark chocolate and I'm a German kid 😅
It depends on how the parents feed you while you're in kindergartden over here.
Same....the dark is the best...
Yeah, my dad let me try everything that wasn't too spicy when I was a toddler, so I was one of the only children to like stuff like dark chocolate, olives, and sauerkraut.
DARK chocolate with peppermint😁😁
I don't eat much sugar, so dark chocolate is very sweet for me but not bitter at all.
@@t.a.yeah. Try 99 to 100% cocoa😁
I love sour candies ♥ But really, German candies are of a better quality, because we do have higher regulations. You should try Hitschies. They are like elongated Skittles, but made with actual fruit juice. So much better. Also, Milka is FAR better than Hershey's. Hershey's actually has a component that tastes a bit like vomit.
Thcompany that makes hitschies is about a kilometer away from my house. You can smell it sometimes.
Hershey is using raw milk instead of condensate milk. To use this the milk has to get sour first... thats the taste.
@@sabinereimer7809 no, they add butyric acid (ger: buttersäure) to the chocolate in small amounts as a preservative agent, that’s why it tastes like vomit.
@@viciousyeen6644 meint ihr das ernst mit dem Geruch? 🤢😬
@@viciousyeen6644 Sounds distgusting, never liked it.
Marzipan is basically a sweet paste, traditionally made from ground almonds and powdered sugar, sometimes with other flavourings.
It's usually either served as candy (often covered in a thin layer or dark chocolate) or used in baking certain cakes and cookies.
If you've ever tried amaretto liqueur, it pretty much tastes like that, just without the boozyness.
Most people I know like it, though there's also a few who really can't stand it whatsoever. It's quite common in germany because the german city of Lübeck is basically one of the worlds most important marzipan producers.
American Sweets usually have 6 to 50 times the suggar german ones have.
The dark chokolate (Zartbitter, or even the ones 70%-95% ones) are adult fare, the Zartbitter the most mild versions, are eaten by most adults, the ones over 80% are for man over 50.
They were wayyy to polite 😂😂😂
Fun Fact about Marzipan: It originated in ancient greek, and has been foodrations for wariors. The Name Marzipan is made Up from the words Mars , the Roman God of war, and Pan, the word for bread.
Marzipanbrot ist also Marsbrotbrot ?
@@andreamuller9009 😂
Its origins are still debated.
My kids eat bitter chocolate, because that was the only type i would buy, they think milk chocolate is way too sweet now 😂🇬🇷🇬🇷
ION forever 😁🍫
With almonds!!!

Is this like a sound like ,,hmmm'' or something else?
@@lilysnape6520 yes it's an exclamation. It''s pronounced similar to "paaaaaw". The ω is a long "o" sound.
I always liked dark chocolate, even as a kid. But only from the swiss brand "Lindt" - they make extra tender chocolate in all kinds of variations. As a teen my favorite was 70% dark chocolate with chili. Very close to the original recepie of the aztecs, i think.
To the "only weird adults like dark chocolate": I, as a relatively young german man, love the dark ones. Always eat those with around 70-80% cocoa, and 100% if I feel adventurous.
Best chocolate ever.
100??? Du Monster!
@@slothwantssleep2329 ja, 100. Da hast du auch lange was von.

@@Dave0439 mit sehr viel willenskraft und toten Geschmacksnerven.
During WW II we had HERSHEY Chocolate bars in our K-Rations. It was their miserable tasteless non-destructible milk chocolate. I didn't eat Hershey milk chocolate, but only ate German or Swiss dark chocolate pre-war. I haven't touched a Hershey milk chocolate product since 1945. They are the lowest common denominator for chocolate. Factory made glop.
Comments are often disabled when kids are in the video to protect them from nasty comments I guess. I'm always a bit sad that I can't comment on the videos from the Voice Kids Germany because they definitely deserve a lot of praise.
If you want some typical German remedy for your cold, then drink tea with honey. Gute Besserung, get well soon
What they meant by referring to the cinnamon flavoured pastry as "Schnecke" (literally snail) is basically comparing it to German pastry "Zimtschnecke" (literally a stretch of dough rolled out with some kind of cinnamon filling spread on it and then rolled up, baked and cut into pieces, which makes it look like a snail shell). This kind of pastry exists in different varieties, for example with poppy, pudding or cream filling.
It's a bit like if a cinnamon roll and croissant had a baby, but much denser.
09:09 there is a pastry type called "schnecke" for example what you would call a cinnamon roll we call "zimtschnecke" 😉
Achso ich dachte die meinten das tier schnecke weil das so schlecht schmecken würde
Liked dark chocolate as a kid and love it as an adult: 74% cocoa and best just 3 ingrediance is the best, optimal balance between the real cocoa taste and sweetness. And yes we have Reeses peanutbutter cups, they´re amazing desolved in brown rum.
They are amazing just plain old cold, or even frozen.
@@CabinFever52 I hate peanutbutter so just as they are, they´re just not for me. Somehow every peanutbetter food I ate tasted like it had rancid fat inside. I also hate Erdnussflips for clearification, same old rancid fat taste. Fresh or roasted peanuts on the other hand are among my favorite treats, don´t care if salted or not; peanuts=yummy.
@@gedeuchnixan3830 Maybe you never got a good PB?
As kid I always prevered darker choclate. I always got the dark coclate Santa Claus amd Easter Bunny from Lind and now that I'm vegan this is one of the only childhood sweets I still can enjoy!
Same here. Only zartbitter or bitter. Have a good day, my fellow vegan
@@erikalangbein4586 🤝🏻
And it goes well with Marzipan, which I always enjoyed as a kid, too!
i don't want to disappoint you. but even "typical" dark chocolate is not vegan. There is special vegan chocolate that you can get but that is usually not dark chocolate.
@@CalmoOmlac Kommt wohl darauf an: "Sie wird im Unterschied zu Milchschokolade ohne Milch (selten mit geringem Milchanteil) hergestellt."
They weren’t very enthusiastic about it were they? Gute Besserung ❤️🩹
We have a shop here in my town that specialises in USA and UK sweets, so I've eaten most of these. Your sweets, especially your chocolate is really a lot sweeter than ours. I'm a sweet tooth but 2 hersheys and I'm done. Didn't know that marzipan isn't a big thing over there. I love it 🤩
We have at least one store that specializes in America sweets here in Vienna, but mostly they don't carry the things that are really popular in the states, as far as sweets. Maybe their ingredients causes them to be banned in Europe. I'm surprised they carry Pringles, but maybe they are made locally with alternate ingredients from the states, just like they do with Pepsi. The drink turns clear when you mix Pepsi with vanilla ice cream for a float in Austria---not so in the states. I also detect a different taste between the two. I once contacted the company and they refused to comment on it.
@@CabinFever52 No high fructose corn syrup over here.
And obviously not the same kind of preservatives.
I've had Cadbury's before. The one I like is Wunderbar. When they have the right temperature and the caramel is slightly firmer than the filling it creates that very interesting experience when taking a bite.
Beenie kid is the most german one with "Schmecken tut's" and "Schmecken tut's nich" 🤣
Peanut butter in Germany is like marzipan in the US, you've heard of it or seen it on the shelf in the supermarket but never eaten it. German children grow up with Nutela or other hazelnut/nougat creams.
Get well soon!
When we were kids in Germany like 30 years back, everyone would bring peanut butter sandwiches to school. ^^ But it was quite present in the popular US shows like the Simpsons back then.
not true, it depends where in Germany you lived. I grew up in an Area where american´s have been around a lot and I played with the kids of the soldiers from the US so I in fact grew up to like peanut butter BUT I do not like these pop tarts (never have) or some of the other stuff especially chocolate from the US - it just dont taste normal for me
@@hmpeter I grew up in northern Germany and in my childhood (35 years ago) I was completely unfamiliar with peanut butter. I suspect it's partly because of how Germany was partitioned among the Allies after WWII and peanut butter was more popular in the US sector than it was up north where the British were.

@@thegestruepp529 Was Schleswig Holstein for me, right in the middle between Kiel and HH. ^^ Well, maybe It was just the "right" time for me in the 90s then, or just a regional thing. But it was popular at my schools for sure.
Whenever I see stuff like that, I get super curious about it and at the same time I'm sure I wouldn't like it :D
Get well soon to you and your family! 🍀
I rarely watch your videos when I'm in a good mood but when I'm not ur really helping out :)
You really need to order some candy from Germany and try it on camera, there's some really great stuff.
Me 14 years old from germany who likes dark chocolade...
I definetly like dark chocolate. When I just have a craving for chocolate, dark one fills that need way more quickly. And the little piece I have to eat also has less sugar in it. So I feel totally healthy lol
I worked at a company that produced the new packaging machine for Reeses (not sure which exact product, probably that mentioned in the video) and we would have like a whole pallet of those standing in the assembly after the test run and everyone could just take some. They are normally not sold here in Germany, but i got to try them that way and they were actually quite nice.
I love how the kid in the grey US flag shirt onmly says "schmeckt" or "schmeckt nicht". Peak german.
And yes, we don't say whether something tastes good, just that it tastes. that's praise enought in Germany lmao
There can also be an interesting double meaning: when you say "es schmeckt", you're not saying whether it tastes good or bad. It can stand for "it's food" or "its alright" or "it'll have to do".
@@z2yn Not really. The short form generally indicates approval, just not enthusiastic approval. If you wanna be neutral you say 'kann man essen', it's edible. You wouldn't say 'schmeckt' about something you don't like at all.
Thank you for having the subtitles fixed in this one - I have when they are cut off at the bottom. So this time it's great!
My american exchange family sent me poptarts a few years ago and I hated them😂 They are way to sugery and I really don't get why you would eat them espacially for breakfast!
i assume they are one of the more "healthy" things you could eat for breakfast in america
Same here! I was so excited to try those and when I finally did I was as disappoibted as i've ever been. Theyre horrible 😂 and I don't even remember what they tasted like
@@marks.9448 nope they are just sugar🥲
I tried some of them and I didn't like the taste. It wasn't even sweet enough for the amount of sugar in it
Yeah a friend of mine brought some here too and I hated them so much 😂 WAY too sugary!
I love marzipan, like "Marzipan Stollen" or "Ritter Sport Marzipan" and the marzipan chocolate bars. How shocking you don't know what marzipan is and what it taste like. The USA is located on earth ... ähm ... or not? Sometimes i'm not sure. 😂 Get well soon.
Es gibt noch "Königsberger Marzipan", der ist geflämmt, sehr lecker, aber etwas teuer.
Marzipankugeln, Marzipankartoffeln, Marzipankonfekt. Ein Skandal, sowas noch nie probiert zu haben :D
Dafür isst halt bei uns keiner Erdnussbutter
@@johannesh7610 wo kommt dieser Irrglaube her? Es essen super viele Erdnussbutter?
Gute Besserung Ryan 🤗😁
Get well soon Ryan and thank you for creating videos despite your cold 🙂 American candy is quite different in taste. Many things I could try (father of my friend is American), I like Twizzlers and Reese's a lot. As a kid I really liked Twinkies (they were available here in Germany for a while), I ordered some two years ago, but the taste has either totally changed or I remembered it wrong, they didn't taste good to me at all anymore. While watching the video, I ate unseasoned oatmeal because I'm on a diet and severely limiting sweets. Very good that I have no Reese's at home, they would not have survived now.🤭🤭
Honestly, I'd rather have him wait until he is better again. For his sake and the caughing is annoying.
Or your taste has changed. That happens sometimes. I like many things i previously didn't and vice versa :D
We have something similar to the filled Twizzlers in Germany too, called Balla Stixx, from Haribo.
Die Balla sticks sind wirklich nice... hast du die sachen von trolly probiert... absolut Lecker...
I do the same you do with the hot tamales XD
Except I eat dark chocolate with 99% cocoa. You can't eat a lot of it at once but it quenches your desire for a snack.
I once read somewhere: "if you like chocolat but you dont like dark chocolat than you dont like chocolat, you like sugar."
You do not know marzipan? Poor you! You absolutely have to try it. Niederegger marzipan. I love it.
Dark chocolate, or as you heard it correctly "Bitterschokolade", is typically the sweet for adult men, because candy is for kids and women like sweet stuff as well, it was kind of established that men prefer, if any sweets at all, bitter ones. An absolute classic would be Schwarze Herren Schokolade (= black gentleman chocolate) and I find it to be quite delicious as it's not too bitter at all. Of course there's a whole rabbit hole to go down into there, but that's perhaps too much for starters.
And the rabbit hole is at the border between Germany, Switzerland and Belgium. The eternal war over who makes he best chocolate.
I wish you and your family good health from Germany!
I wanna send him " Katzenzungen " and look how he reacts.🤣
American chocolate tastes bad compared to European chocolate. Most companies in the US add butyric acid as a preservative agent to their chocolates wich gives it a slight vomit flavor. Most people who grow up with it won’t notice that anymore, but it’s really strange to taste it when you’re used to high quality milk chocolate
So Ryan is getting excited about watching small kids .... I am sure he's on some kind of list now 😂🤣
The most perverted thing I had in the US was root beer. It wasn't really cold and I was expecting a malt beer and was given "Listerine" carbonated mouthwash. The bad taste and the completely different expectation at least flushed my stomach. The stomach was then clean. It took me decades to describe or identify this taste because I didn't know anything comparable until I went one day to the dentist.
In the army I once traded my EPAs with a GI for his MREs. A really bad deal. That peanut butter.🤢
Oh yes, root beer. My first taste of it was in a dark movie theater on a US Army Base, I had asked my friend for a Coca Cola and he handed me this cup and I took a big mouthful … expected to taste Coca Cola but instead it was some absolutely horrible, nauseating liquid …
Apparently they’d run out of coke and he opted for root beer instead, never considering that maybe this German Fräulein had never tasted anything like it before …
I was never able to drink root beer or Dr Pepper after that.
American chocolate is a poor excuse, especially Hershey.
I’ve always liked dark chocolate even as a kid. And I love Marzipan.
Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups are good.
Root beer is pretty much an acquired taste. The best description would be "medical", like cough syrup.
marzipan
1.4 cups whole almonds
1.2 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon rose water
5 drops of bitter almond oil
Pour boiling water over the almonds... now they peel easily.
Put the almonds in a blender and puree finely on the highest setting. Scrape down the sides from time to time and push the mass into the middle so that everything is finely pureed. Sift and add the icing sugar and mix well. Both must be ground very finely!
Put the almond and icing sugar mixture in a bowl and refine with rose water and bitter almond oil. Knead well with your hands. If the mass is too thick for youR taste, add a small amount of water. The recipe yields approx. 320 g marzipan.
Take croissant dough, mix 1 to 2 teaspoons of cinnamon into the marzipan mixture, spread it on the croissants (not too thick). Roll up the croissants as usual, brush with a beaten egg and bake according to package instructions.
Marzipan tastes really good in apple pie too
You should sometime open a PO Box, so we can send you some proper Marzipan over. The good stuff, not the one, where you still find grains of sugar. :D
you have to mess up big time when pretty much all of the kids dislike the candy xD
You should buy some marzipan, it is very tasty
Get well soon! Here in Germany, many are also suffering from a dry cough. I went to the doctor yesterday because I keep coughing and he said he has patients coming in with coughs all the time. As if something was in the air. Bye!
You definitely have to review some German candy! Especially Marzipan since you don't know it. It's one of my favorite candies (I am from Schleswig-Holstein so... Of course it is). Try Lübecker Marzipan, it is the best (pretty sure you can get it somewhere online in America, abd Niederegger is the most popular brand)
Niederegger is the one and only! I'm from Lübeck. 😊 I'd like to send him some, but the costs für shipping to the USA are horrible and too much for me.
And let this man have some real licorice... these sticks are a joke :D
I always loved Bitterschokolade (Dark Chocolade). Opa (Gran'Pa) always had those in the nice shelf! Loved it !!
Marzipan is made of mushed almonds and sugar, made to a very thick paste. It tastes delicious covered with chocolate or by itself. Rolled out thinly it can be used as a topping for a cake...
I work with alot of kids in germany and it's pretty common to figure out the 'organic' ingredients while eating food. In germany we have a policy, that the ingredients need to be written on the products. So not only kids but also adults are more or less aware (through taste) of the ingredients in a product. This is the mindset of most german people to know and acknowledge where the produce comes from and learn to value the process of growing it and for the people feeding us. The Kids learn basic nourishments in school aswell.
I wish a good health to you and your family!
Haha loved this reaction 😂😂
Now show them kids a surprise egg and an ar-15 and ask them which one is illegal to sell in the US.
Get well soon, all of you :)
Get well soon! 🌸🌸
I loved dark chocolate as a kid ! But in Switzerland we have a version of dark chocolate that's not that bitter, it more like deeper, less milky. For reference, Beligum does it in a similar fashion. More "sugary" almost , less creamy.
Short explanation for the part where the little girl asked "Schnecke?" (sub: "snail?"): she was referring to Zimtschnecken (literally translated as cinnamon snails). It's the German word for cinnamon roll.
if you never had marzipan you def. need to try it out! classic is some covered with chocolate in many variations but you can also buy it pure, which some people enjoy too but for me its way too sweet, its better if its covered in chocolate, mostly dark chocolate but not overly bitter, just a slight hint which is great in combination with the marzipan
I had the "Reese's pieces" once. They looked very much like Smarties. And they tasted good. The "Peanut butter cup" also is good.
50% is what children like, 70% is dark chocolate, +80% is dark bitter chocolate, and it's said that 95% is healthy.
we are watching an american reacting to german kids reacting to american food. this is so meta lmao
Me a teen who loves dark chocolate: :,)
It’s somewhat common in Finland to eat dark chocolate
Get well soon ❤
I remember when i was a kid i could go to the American Base which i had here locally because my dad worked for the military or something. Anyway i remembered we always Bought Nutty Bars and i Loved them. But sadly u can't buy them in Germany outside of the base. And i no longer have access to the base 😅
Dark chocolate is my favourite. I usually go for 87-95% ones because it is that sort of treat where you eat one square and you are satisfied. I loved dark chocolate since I was a kid where my grandma would buy these cheap dark chocolate bars that were labelled as "cooking chocolate" and I would always steal some while she was making some other food with it such as desserts or puddings or Christmas cookies.
7:03 i love dark chocolate, its also pretty common in germany
6:45 - in Germany some companies call dark chocolate "bitter chocolate" because the darker the chocolate is, the more cocoa is in it. Cocoa is bitter in taste and that's why my limit is at 75-80 % cocoa.
My dad liked dark chocolate and I do, too since childhood, also I prefer it mixed. Like with nuts or marzipan. I can't believe you don't know marzipan. It's very common here.
I imagine that the best us candy made it's way to the German market in some form and wouldn't be new to the kids.
The first time I visited the US (I was in my twenties) and the first thing I bought were Reeces Peanut Buttercups! Heard about them on nearly every American sitcom with kids. Yummy!
Dark chocolate goes very well with red wine! But Hershey's isn't really known for making decent chocolate at all (from a German, Begium, or Swiss perspective).
In Germany they say both terms, bitter chocolate or dark chocolate, and they mean the same thing. There is dark chocolate with up to 90% cocoa content. I'm currently eating with 70% cacao content.
I had a lot of US Candy in my life, but reeses peanutbutter cups and knock off brands are the worst imo. Usually i really like Peanutbutter (crunchy).
For a moment i thought u might sag „and i love kids“ 😂😂😂
I can't remember a time I didn't like dark chocolate. I think I loved it when I first tried it at a very young age. I never liked milk chocolate much and still don't. Maybe it's because my mom eats only dark chocolate too. I would love to send you a box with typical German sweets to try - if you want one just let me know.
Godbless you, hope you get better.
I'm so sure my kids (especially the little one) would devour these with passion.
I eat dark chocolate, but we often call it Zartbitter Schokolade. That's what you will read on the packages 😉
You could also find "Edelbitter Schokolade" or the ones I buy: "100% CACAO" ...no need for cushioning the wonderful bitterness in there 😉
Germans very much like sour food, Ryan. Most Americans I know are shocked how sour real German Sauerkraut or Sauerbraten or Linsensuppe can be. It is usually too sour for Americans.
The Snail thingy, think, she meant a Zimtschnecke (Cinnamon roll), and you should really try Marzipan :)
"what is marzipan?" ...Ryan, you're missing out.
And dark chocolate is called "zartbitter" here, meaning "bittersweet"
zart heißt nicht süß
I love Reese's! I couldn't stop eating them when i worked on the cruise ships.. We have them now in Malta.
Isn't california the place were most of marzipan is produced currently?
How does he not know it? ^^
Dark chocolate is called Zartbitterschokolade which translates to light or soft bitter chocolate
My dad had to travel to the US a lot and always brought me American snacks and sweets. I was never a picky eater but I hated all of these. The worst thing I have ever eaten was those Butterfingers. It tasted so bad that to this day I gag when I smell peanut butter (and I like peanuts and thai satay sauce and stuff like that!).
For the cold - peppermint tea with honey (the GOOD honey) really helps.
"I wonder if you guys have sour food". Sauerkraut: "Am I a joke to you?!"😂
We actually have reeses peanutbutter cups here (ofc i dont know how close they are to the american version of it). And i have to say, when i ate them the first time, i was soooooo dissapointed!
I heard a lot of americans praise them, i personally love peanutbutter and chocolate as a flavor combination, so i was sure they would taste amazing. I assumed they would contain nice, smooth peanut butter as a creamy filling. What i actually got was something that tasted like someone took peanut butter and very fine dust, mixed them 50/50, and put the whole thing in the fridge for 10 hours. Meaning, it was less creamy than what germans call "Fensterkit" (the stuff you use to improve insulation between a window and the wall it is in). Seriously, when bit of half of it to actually see the inside, it was brittle! It looked like the peanut butter was getting strech marks. Not exactly why i would imagine when something has the word Butter in its name.
If your interested in people trying American and German candy you should watch Diana and Phil. They are a German American couple and they have videos where they show each other food from their country. LIke their childhood sweets, street food, German bakery items. They also have other interesting videos about the different cultures. One of my fav. is about German idioms.
We have here Gummies with ginger taste. And buttercups got more common over the last years in Germany. These other treats you will not get in Germany, unless there's a special corner in the market for foreign products or a specialiced shop.
I, a German can attest that marzipan tastes great, idd describe it as a mix between marshmallows and a lollie-pop in terms of taste, its often also used to not dump half a metric ton of fondant onto a cake, if using modeling
