Well, I was kinda surprised when you said that the Prince biscuits are the German Oreo cause they are obviously the French Oreo. So I looked up and turned out they are the Belgian Oreo. (the other surprise was when Ethan said that Kinder eggs were German. The name sounds German but the thing is Italian)
Toffifee and Werther's Original are both fairly popular and widely available in the United States, though for the American market they renamed Toffifee to Toffifay to better reflect American English phonetics. You can easily find both in any American supermarket.
The German Grandma Candy experience was spot on. I'm glad Ethan got the full German Grandma experience... Only the empty cookie box filled with money or random stuff was missing for the 100% experience.
Just for the record: The original Spezi is done by Riegele, a local brewery in Augsburg, Bavaria. Decades ago they did the (from a current perspective) dumb move to give Paulaner the license to make Spezi without paying any fees and as Paulaner is the much bigger and more known brewery a lot of people think Paulaner is the inventor of Spezi.
And Coke-Orange Lemonade mix is sold by other brands too. Mezzo Mix => Coca Cola Company Schwip Schwap => PepsiCo Inc. Spezi => Riegle Brauerei Paulaner Spezi => Paulaner Brauerei Vita Cola Mix => Thüringer Waldquell Mineralbrunnen GmbH Those are the most popular/known ones.
This was the best german snack tasting I've even seen on UA-cam. No screaming, judging or panicking, just trying new stuff. I also like how Ethan really analyses the tastes.
I met Americans and offered them Mett (raw pork) and they looked at me like I offered them a prick of plutonium or some. Guess who ate 4 portions after they tried it😂👌 Btw 5 days isn't quite right, it's only allowed to sell the day it's made.
It's a toss up as to why Americans are suspicious of raw pork, it could be related to historic European based cultural food taboos, but for my mom's family, a mix of Native American tribes of the Gulf Coast, swine was considered flat out alien... Except for that one great uncle who decided to raise them to sell. Pigs are old world animals, so that makes sense. Dad's side eats pork though. My mom's silent protest to his demand to cook pork chops was to render them into charcoal.
It's due to parasites such as Trichinella. Uncooked pork usually has this type of worm. There are many instances where people who eat under cooked pork get parasite that will travel to their brain and eat holes through it. So yeah enjoy it ;-)
@@geneard639Nah they problem for americans is they're actually teached that raw pork is dangerous, while in reality it's the american food healthy system that is the problem! And you should never eat mass produced raw pork in the USA, it's nearly always contaminated with worms and others things that must be killed of by cooking it. Only in countries like Germany with their extreme food safety regulations it's save to eat raw pork from the supermarket!
The sweets at 10:08 are called "Eiskonfekt" for a reason...you're supposed to put them in the fridge or even the freezer and eat them cold, they get way better then!
Actually they are called like that because they feel cold without refrigerating them, which is because of the low melting point of the coconut fat. The same applies to "Kalter Hund".
@@TheSwedishRider I don't know exactly about the Eiskonfekt, but my grandparents always had this in the fridge. Kalter Hund is meant to be served cold and needs to be refrigerated when making it for the cocoa filling to solidify.
@@TheSwedishRider I personally know both of them only served cold and I think both names make sense when they are used for cold foods. That's how I remember eating them aa a kid, mostly with my grandparents. ...und wennde beedes kennst biste wo och ausm Ostn! :-D Natürlich hab ich das auch Mal warm probiert oder bei Zimmertemperatur. Und das Eiskonfekt wird furchtbar babbsch wenn's in der Sonne gelegen hat, kannste Grad so aus der Folie zutschen. Kalt isses viel besser! ;-)
Isso, ich dachte mir schon das sie es nicht so mögen werden, weil es nicht im Kühlschrank war. Wenn es frisch vom Kühlschrank kommt ist diese Schokolade echt anders gut.
Mozart Kugeln! I'm from the US, and when I was a kid (~10) my mother would bring back Mozart Kugeln whenever she went to Vienna on a business trip (which was about 10x/year). They came in these metal tins and were fantastic.
This gets me a little nostalgic. After moving to another country, my grandmother in Germany always sent us packages from Germany with typical German snacks. When I started studying and got packages sent directly to me, hanuta, baumkuchen and (slightly embarrassing) curry king were absolute life savers, especially after a few beers or when pulling all nighters.
Gospel of Jesus Christ John 3:16 For God So loved the world that he gave his only Begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him should not Perish but have Everlasting Life.

Repent of urs sins (Repent means Change ur Mind turning away from sinful things and being truly sorry for it.) trust Jesus and give ur life to him He Loves you cares about you more than anyone ever will! we are saved By Grace Trough Faith!,this is sin: Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death but the gift of eternal life in our Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 3:23 For all have sined and felt short of the Glory of God. For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Romans 1:18-21, 23 KJV Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God?

OK, those were indeed classic German snacks and I agree that the majority aren't super nice, but now I'm curious to know what snacks Ethan would ever rate above an 8?! He's a harsh critic. :D
I suppose that anyone coming from outside a culture and sampling its snacks would be a harsher critic without the nostalgia factored in. speaking very broadly, of course
Earlier today, my girlfriend and I watched ProZD rate a bunch of Campbell Soups, and we both thought of how... to an American, these are flavors and tastes that carry cultural and personal significance. Many Americans watching probably had some, wrapped up in a blanket battling a bad cold when they were 9, watching cartoons or something. But I would _never_ try it, because it would just be canned soup. Same with most of these snacks. Barring some, they're just... candy or softdrinks or salty fried snacks. You can get those anywhere. And Ethan has his own collection of shitty snacks he grew up with that Andong just wouldn't get.
I just got so mad at them opening the "Prinzenrolle" from the top! I know it's the usual way, but they got such great and innovative opening on the side
Da fehlt die gemischte Tüte ausm Kiosk für 10 cent pro stück when you went home after primary school with your friends you went to the kiosk and they had these stacked bright red boxes with different candy in them and each piece was 10ct and you ate them all together before going home, eating something small, packing a peach ice tea and heading to the football pitch with metal goals
Fun fact: Spezi is actually a brand name so there's really only the original Spezi and the Paulaner Spezi shown in the clip (which is different, apparently Paulaner bought the rights to make their own Spezi from the original creator of the brand way back in the 60s or smth) with all the other versions being called "Cola Mix" or something like that.
Bonus fact: It is a brand name that you can actually buy a license to. Most companies don't want to pay that. So they call their drink Cola Mix or something. Paulaner is special though, because they bought a perpetual license before the whole brand was well established (so before there were yearly fees). The founder/brand company is officially still kinda mad about that.
@@PoppyGaming43 Bc as I said, Paulaner bought the rights to make their own Spezi all the way back in the 60s or 70s for a really small sum (I think around 10.000 marks back in the day), and now Paulaner makes millions every year selling that drink, and the original Spezi brand want some of that cash, so they tried to argue that a) they could cancel the deal they made back then and b) that Paulaner today isn't entitled to the same deal that Paulaner back then made (since the company changed and reformed at some point in the 80s or so) Both arguments were rather flimsy even from a laymans point of view, so it wasn't a huge surprise that the court ruled against them.
Before avocado became really popular and available the best pair for Kräutersalz definitely was just tomatoes. Or even dark pumpernickel like bread with butter, Kräutersalz and tomatoes on top. SO GOOD. always had this at my grandmas
My daughter loves milchschnitte. I have brought it back for her a few times. She took it to school and ate it for a snack. School was out at 1 so she ate lunch at home.
The Kinder Milchschnitte ( The Kinder Milk Slices ) 🍫🥛🍯 is actually not from Germany 🇩🇪 at all, but The Kinder Milchschnitte ( The Kinder Milk Slices ) 🍫🥛🍯 is actually original from Italy 🇮🇹, Alba, Italy 🇮🇹, by the way my friend 😊😊😊🎉🎉😊😎😁😃🤜🏻🤛🏻👍🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🍫🥛🍯🍺🍺🍺🍻🍻🍻🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊😊😊😊
Whats with parents always giving young children blocks of sugar? I am german and got lots of that stuff aswell from my irresponsible parents. Result: had to wear braces for years who straightup told me when I got older its only because of sugar and lack of vitamins at the jaw orthopedia
I am turkish, born and raised in germany. I think we had the best Childhood here in germany the 2000s. Coming home from school, buying Center Shock gums for 5 cent each at that time, then arriving at home and instantly turn the TV on to watch our favorite Anime Shows on RTL2/ My Pokito TV. Or buying a big Döner for 2.50€. I really miss those times. These were the best times man.
I'm from the Midwest and visited Magdeburg for Christmas. The Milka and Ritter Sport bars are leagues above American chocolate. I also loved Knoppers Erdnussriegel and Halloren Kugeln.
The Milka Chocolate 🍫 is actually not from Germany 🇩🇪, but The Milka Chocolate 🍫 is actually and original from Switzerland 🇨🇭, by the way my friend 😁😁😁👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
okay I am shocked, the grandma candies: first of all I fuckin loveee these little chocolates you put on ginger bread houses they are the typical christmas candy and the last one they tried is „ice (cream) confect“ (not really actually ice cream). They're made with coconut butter hence the fast melting.. you're supposed to store them in the fridge and when eating them they're supposed to give the sensation of ice cream melting in your mouth 😅 hence the name „ice confect"🤷🏼♀️
Russisch Brot is supposedly named so because the baker who introduced it in Germany in the 19th century, one Friedrich Wilhem Hanke of Dresden, claimed to have encountered the recipe in St Petersburg when he was a baker's apprentice there. Allegedly, the original idea came from a teacher who used it to familiarize his pupils, who already knew Cyrillic script, with Latin script. A different hypothesis has been postulated by Bahlsen bakery, who have been making Russisch Brot since 1904: The "Russisch" does not actually refer to the Russian country/language/people, but is a bastardisation of the word "rösch", a local term for "crispy" or "crunchy".
We're halfway through and I have to say - nice selection so far. Srue, "Mozartkugeln" are mostly from Austria, but Reber is a german company located in Bad Reichenhall (the same city the salt is from) at the border to Salzburg, Austria. But I noticed an austrian item in the thumbnail - Almdudler is an austrian lemonade...
As a German there are two mistakes: You got the wrong Mozartkugeln. The Mirabell ones are much better, but you only get them in Austria and there are also Mozarttaler which have a way better ratio of filings. And second: I would never NEVER eat Mett with butter!
@@TheInari1 Totally agree on the Mozartkugeln! If you're feeling really decadent, get the real real ones - the handmade ones at Café-Konditorei Fürst in Salzburg. Those are heavenly.
Mett with butter is awesome. Onions are more important, though.^^ I also had the impression they didn't use any spices here, but Mett is always spiced. Mett without spices is Hack. IMO Thüringer Mett (spiced with salt, pepper and nutmeg mostly) is the most amazing Mett you can eat on a bun.
Just to set this straight: Reber Mozartkugeln are from Germany, the best known Austrian version is made by Mirabell (now owned by US company Mondelez 😱 and insolvent). Invented however by Konditorei Fürst in Salzburg. In Austria you will have a hard time finding the Reber version. But since Mozart himself as well as his birthplace Salzburg sometimes were German, sometimes Austrian … who cares? 🤷♂️
The Reber Version is produced in Bad Reichenhall. It’s liks 15 minutes away from Salzburg. In my opinion, the Reber is the best version followed by Fürst
We have those kiss things in Finland too, and here before 2001 they were branded as n-word kisses. I think it being called that is one of those classic old person hills to die on, alongside the (now removed) airforce swastika logo.
Where i'm from in germany we didn't call them n-word kisses, but "moor heads" which is not much better and along with "gipsy sauce" it is exactly one of these hills german boomers are willing to die on
There is a Classic from Frankfurt called "Handkäs' mit Musik", mainly Harzer Roller pickled with vinegar and diced onions, loads of kümmel. You eat it with good bread made from sourdough with a think layer of Butter and some Salt. Questions about the music? The music comes with digestion... The less kümmel, the more music. You're Welcome! (You serve ist with truckloads of "Äbbelwoi". Apfelwein, a superdry, vinegar-smelling cider from Frankfurt - it is the worst. Incredibly dry. I'd go for french cidre).
Harzer is made of the whey after making cheese. In former times it used to be a poor man's food, nowadays it is annoyingly expensive. The Harzer cheese in the video wasn't ripe yet. It is ripe when everything white has turned yellowish and glassy like the outside part. You have to marinate it in vinegar and oil and lots of chopped onion, that's called "Handkäse mit Musik". I love it, but I'm the only one I know who loves it.
5:25 didn’t knew Ferrero was popular in Germany for anything else than Nutella! Here in Italy is called “Fetta al latte”, milk slice, a favorite of mine since childhood... years later I can still eat 10 of those in a day and wanting more!
Ferrero it’s all over the world and they owned over 100 different products all form Kinder and other companies in The United States of America and other places in Europe And other places around the world yes just different companies from different countries around the world 🌎🌍🌏 🗺 , by the way my friends 😁😁😁😁😃😃👍🏻👍🏻
Yeah that is actually 100 % and true my friend and The Kinder Chocolate 🍫 is actually not even German at all that is actually original Italian from Italy 🇮🇹 😎😁😁
@@jonathanthomsen3111 just because a italian company created them does not mean they are a italian product... The German branch of Ferrero developed them especially for the German market catering to german tastes. And only later on they were sold in different countries as well, long after they had gotten popular in germany. So I'd still say those are orinal German snacks 😉
@Fabian Stiefel No Kinder is actually original Italian from Italy 🇮🇹, not German not from Germany 🇩🇪, The Kinder story began in 1968 in the centre of Alba - a beautiful small town in Northern Italy. Here, an original idea blossomed into the Kinder we know and love today. And PS this is not a German snack at all friend 🙂😎✌️👍🏻
Vita-Cola and nudossi are originally from east Germany.After they reunited there were discontinued but then Manny people missed it and wanted it back so it came back.
8:09 A traditionally made barrel brew consists of water, malt extract, sugar and various flavorings. Fassbrause is often associated with lemonade, as it usually does not contain beer.
Re: Mate (15:00) - funnily enough, Club Mate has been around as "Sekt Bronte" since 1898; and their slogan literally is "Man gewöhnt sich dran" translating to "you get used to it"
But important fact to bear in mind: German Fanta is much tangier, less sweet-tasting than most Fantas in the world. It tastes closer to sparkling orange juice than anywhere, I've tried, in the world. USA, South America, Eastern Europe - it tastes like liquified orange candy. Also it is much paler.
Actually, It would have been a good idea to ask him, which german snacks Ethan knows from home (and is able to get there) and buy the exact same ones. Turns out, our snacks like Tofiffe or Riesen are a lot less sugary/sweet than in the Americas.
That’s the Crossover I never knew I needed, but I absolutely did! Edit: The Dickmann Schokoküsse are okay but nothing compared to freshly made ones. There still are a few factories who make them with fresh meringue and those are amazing!
Dickmann’s are pretty bad, to be honest. They are made to be cheap and to keep for a long time. The whole marketing behind them is about their size ... But neither taste not consitency are really pleasant to eat. Viennese Niemetz has their "Schwedenbomben", which is of course still a mass produced product, but not as bad as Storck with a much better recipe and better ingredients. They are noticeably more expensive, but in terms of taste it is so much better than this Dickmann’s stuff. I tried a Dickmann’s twice in my life. That has been enough to make me never want to get close to these things again.
Wut. That absolutely bonkers. Two of my favourite Foodtubers tasting germany snacks. There is nothing better Danke Andong. Das ist einfach viel zu geil!
Hey Andong, a dish that I really liked when I grew up in germany was Milchreis (both by Müller company and selfmade). Could you make a video where you dive into the history a bit and then try to make it?
That's extremely easy: take a pot, pour some full-fat-milk (4:1 milk:rice ratio) in it, add the content of a vanillabean and some sugar to your liking, bring it to a boil, add round-grain rice (in Germany it is specifically sold as Milchreis, but pretty much any starchy round-grain type should do), take it off the heat, put a lid on and tightly wrap the pot in your bed blanket and put it into your bed for a couple of hours. Sprinkle some cinnamon-sugar onto it if you like it sweeter, otherwise it's great on its own, with fruit, applesauce, cooked cherries, etc.
@@hmvollbanane1259 I have never seen Milchreis in the bed. Maybe that's the traditional power efficient way. In general it's a simple dish. Cinnamon is a must to finish it on the plate.
Knusperflocken mit weisser Schokolade mag ich am meisten!!! Die klassischen Knusperflocken sind mir zu deftig schokoladig!!! Sollte eine mildere Vollmilchschokolade sein!!! Zartbitter kann ich generell nicht leiden!!! I like crispy flakes with white chocolate the most!!! The classic crispy flakes are too richly chocolaty for me!!! Should be a milder milk chocolate!!! I generally can't stand bittersweet!!!
@@MaikGoldMoralInstanz during winter they sometimes sell "Knusperflocken" with speculatius aroma (a gingery biscuit), you might wanna try those too. :)
This brought me back! I was an exchange student in high school, and I went back about 4 years ago. Spezi is delicious, but I usually bought Mezzo Mix(coca-cola's brand of the same mix). My all time favorite snack food? Erdnuss Flips! Best comparison I can make is if cheetos were dusted with peanut butter instead of cheese 😂
So great to see Ethan in Berlin! We need another collab you two. Also, Poland is right here, Ethan. I hope you visit soon and try pierogi at a mleczny bar or local donuts (paczki) ;) There truely is a lot of food content to be made travelling Europe
Personally I would wait til Easter for a visit to Poland. My Polish friend usually shows me a home feast that she would cook every year for the occasion, so I would be super curious about what the masses of Polish people do on the holiday, on a larger scale. I think that would be a very interesting food tour for everyone to see :D
4:12 did you know if you put those on a blate and then put them in the microwave for 30 seconds and then eat them with a lil spoon it tastes like smores without the cracker? I love doing that!
The Fassbrause was in a plastic bottle. Usually its from the brew Company "Barre" or "Veltins". Most of the Times you have the Holunder which means elder or is made out of elderflowers.
Expected u put the Dickmanns between a Breadroll. Also the 5 Minuten Terrine with onions and croutons is way better imo than the meatball one . Great Video, Amazing vibe u guys have.
Fassbrause currently is a mix of malt and fruit extracts, although the original version was apple juice and liquorice. Sometimes spices are added as well. Apparently the inventor of it (1908) was trying to make a non-alcoholic beer for his kids. Oh! I've had jelly bananas! I love them! (yes, I'm weird)
Mett is basically pork tartare, therefeore is great. It is also available in Poland, but you won't see on display in meat store, you need to ask for it. You can buy in supermarket processed onion mett (pol. metka cebulowa) in ~200g plastic casing.
Haha. For the Mortiz chocolate, in Slovakia, my family used to call them "ice chocolate", because we kept them in the fridge only and ate them as cold as possible :D it had a very specific taste which I loved as a kid, but cannot get to like as adult :D
9:33 for the jelly bananas you HAVE TO try the East German variant which is fabricated by a Thuringian chocolate fabricant called "Berggold". It's less chocolate and MUCH better than the "West German" version of it imo! 9:33 bei den Gelee-Bananen MÜSST ihr unbedingt die ostdeutsche Variante probieren, die von einer Thüringer Schokoladenmanufaktur namens „Berggold“ hergestellt wird. Es ist weniger Schokolade und VIEL besser als die "Westbanane"!
Oh my fucking god I was so hoping this collab would happen - my two favorite youtube chefs! So glad you guys got to get together - it really seems like you're cut from the same cloth, at least as far as cooking goes. Both very creative and technique-focused dudes. Hope to see some cooking stuff with you both too! But if not - still fun to see you guys together - and get a peak into some German snacks! Was much more fun and interesting than I anticipated, actually - usually not hugely into "we taste xyz" style videos. Great selection of foods on your part.
Fassbrause was invented by a chemist as a fake beer for his kid. It's malt and water with fruit juice, sugar and herbs. There is an American product called Apple Beer based on the original recipe. The fruit juice component can vary though, the most popular in Germany is the red cherry flavored one I think.
well, thank goodness for this video. I'm due to move back to Germany in like a month or so, after spending 20 years away - until now I had no idea that Super Dickmanns have lost their colloquial name. I mean it makes sense and it's certainly for the best, but I would not have known or suspected. And that could have made for an awfully awkward supermarket encounter.
Depends on where you are. In the bigger cities like Berlin definitely, however in the countryside they are still colloquial called Mohrenkopf or Negerkuss. after all Neger never had the same meaning as the N-word in English as the German equivalent to that is "Bimbo", guess it became unfashionable due to its similarity and hence use in translations of American movies and series but the word itself doesn't have anywhere near the same connotations to it and is still occasionally used in the countryside
I grew up in Germany and developed a taste for some of these things including the jelly bananas and chocolate rings. I'm living in the UK now but you can still get some things like the pombears and the princes, but certain other things like salted liquorice, all of the drinks and the milch-schnitte are pretty much impossible to get, and then the Super Dickmanns only turn up in Christmas markets and are crazy expensive for some reason. I also remember these paprika flavoured kangaroo snacks called Jumpys, I miss those, and I used to drink bananaweizen. It's like a weiss bier cocktail with banana juice. No idea how you juice a banana though :D
3:15 Ehm, Coca Cola (and Pepsi) are also off brand. The first one to produce it was the company Riegele which (very quickly) had an agreement with Paulaner for both to use the word in co-existence.
10:05 That is Eiskonfekt! You're supposed to eat it frozen. The are melty so at the low temperatures they are still soft enough to eat. They aren't great at room temp tho xD
Awesome collab! 👌 Regarding Kräutersalz/herbed salt: the one from the Rewe Bio brand is way better in my book, it has Bockshornklee/Fenugreek in it (for even more Umami) and is less salty.
9:10. they are called "Schokoladen-Kränze/Kranz" And i absolutely love the bought ones. Never had selfmade ones tho. Exactly those are absolute bangers and i hate you two for your opinion and wtf. I love Jelly orange cakes. They are great. Banana aint it but the orange ones are FUCKING BANGERS:
Jelly bananas are one of my favourite sweets! Love them so much. How are they "granny"? And how can one dislike them? I mean: People eat Jaffa Cakes which are basically jelly oranges!
I must admit, I was internally retching at the thought of half 'n' half Coke/Fanta at first, but I just gave it a try today and it's actually really nice. 👍🍹
You do know that Coke contains citrus flavourings, right? So, Fanta and coke are brother and sister. But, if I had to choose between the two, Fanta is my homie esp lemon, fruit burst, and grape Fanta.
In restaurants its always served with a slice of lemon stuck on the top of the glass, which actually still adds a nice touch to the flavor, as there is always a teeny tiny layer of lemon juice on top.
@@xiaomei942 Falls du das Kommentar von Stefan mit der Zitrone meinst; Durch die Zitronenscheibe hat man ein bisschen von dem Saft bzw das Aroma auf der oberen Schicht der Spezi und weil beide Getränke eine Citrusnote haben, passt das sehr gut. Nicht buchstäblich Orangensaft ist in der Mische drinnen :)
One of the biggest things about Mett is that raw pork can be dangerous to consume similar to raw chicken. Raw pork is associated with trichinosis which is why I was always told to avoid it. Beef and fish (excluding shellfish) do not have the same issues although they can
You might wanna call those "German Oreo's" Belgian, because they were created by the famous (in Belgium anyway) Antwerp biscuiterie De Beukelaer in 1870, in honour of King Leopold II, who had to wait 30 years as a prince before actually becoming king, hence the French name of the cookies "Prince Fourré" (which translates into... "Stuffed Prince"). Every kid in Belgium grew up with these cookies.
Milchschnitte actually is Italian. It’s originally called “Fette al latte” witch literally translates into “Milchschnitte” and Ferrero just sells it by its German name in Germany
The Kinder Milchschnitte ( The Kinder Milk Slices ) is actually not from Germany 🇩🇪🦅 at all, but The Kinder Milchschnitte ( The Kinder Milk Slices ) is actually original from Italy 🇮🇹, Alba, Italy 🇮🇹🍕🍝, by the way my friend 😊😊😊😎😁😁😁🤜🏻🤛🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻😊😊😎😎😎🍺🍺🍺🍻🍻🍻🍫🍫🍫🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹
At least here down south, Mett is seasoned with caraway powder, salt, pepper and garlic powder, which does give it a fairly distinct taste (mostly due to the caraway). But overall good selection of fairly representative snacks! One note though: Spezi is not 50% Fanta, 50% Cola. It's 50% Cola and 50% Orange Soda. It will taste VASTLY better if you use some sort of (good quality) orange soda instead of Fanta. Fanta just doesn't really taste like orange in my opinion.
Yes!! It has to be eaten at or after expiration date when it's all ripe and ready, and best marinated in a vinaigrette with diced onions. Absolutely delicious!!
Huh, Russisch Brot is the best if it sat in the open package for a few days. it's starting to get that slightly gooey consistency but still has a little bit of crunch to it. I really love it that way
13:40 According to the company, Russian bread is derived from “Rösches Brod” (rösch = crispy; Brod = sweet baked goods). The term “Russian bread” is therefore based on a folk etymological reinterpretation.
Mett-Brötchen is the best hangover breakfast you can get, in my opinion. When I have a really bad hangover I don't feel like eating anything. Then I kinda force myself to eat Mett-Brötchen and after a few bites, the hunger comes back and I probably eat 4 or 5 breadrolls.

Well, I was kinda surprised when you said that the Prince biscuits are the German Oreo cause they are obviously the French Oreo. So I looked up and turned out they are the Belgian Oreo.
(the other surprise was when Ethan said that Kinder eggs were German. The name sounds German but the thing is Italian)
Come on!
Harzerkäse or Handkäse needs to be prepared right...
or do you also eat your Spaghetti unboiled?
No? I at least would hope you don't.
Probably Knoppers
Should have hit him with Toffifee, Knopper‘s, Kinder Pingui, Werther‘s Original for Grandma Sweets, Stangeneis and Ahoj Brause als Pulver ! 😂
I second that. :D
Toffifee and Werther's Original are both fairly popular and widely available in the United States, though for the American market they renamed Toffifee to Toffifay to better reflect American English phonetics. You can easily find both in any American supermarket.
Isn't Pingui just a form of Milchschnitte?
@@onodera3964 Nah it tastes different
Werther's Caramel Pretzel and Popcorn
Jelly Bananas? Never again. Raw pork? I'm in. Thanks again for having me (and showing me the best Doner spots) ✊
Please tell me there is footage of your first döner!
Thanks for visiting, it was awesome! Can't wait for your take on Döner 🙊
Damn I always liked those jelly bananas 😔
haha yeah i had the jelly/chocolate bananas once as a kid, they're soooo bad even tho i love bananas
What about some raw pork with PICKLED ONIONS?
Other Germans: "Let's show our guest what awesome german snacks there are!" :D
Andong: "Have some Jelly Bananas!" =)
As someone who loves geleebananen, i don't see anything wrong with that sentence
It was a pretty good selection of German snacks! Perhaps one thing missing was Butterbreze, but that's more a thing in the south

The German Grandma Candy experience was spot on. I'm glad Ethan got the full German Grandma experience... Only the empty cookie box filled with money or random stuff was missing for the 100% experience.
Just for the record: The original Spezi is done by Riegele, a local brewery in Augsburg, Bavaria. Decades ago they did the (from a current perspective) dumb move to give Paulaner the license to make Spezi without paying any fees and as Paulaner is the much bigger and more known brewery a lot of people think Paulaner is the inventor of Spezi.
Lmao so dumb
And Coke-Orange Lemonade mix is sold by other brands too.
Mezzo Mix => Coca Cola Company
Schwip Schwap => PepsiCo Inc.
Spezi => Riegle Brauerei
Paulaner Spezi => Paulaner Brauerei
Vita Cola Mix => Thüringer Waldquell Mineralbrunnen GmbH
Those are the most popular/known ones.
This was the best german snack tasting I've even seen on UA-cam. No screaming, judging or panicking, just trying new stuff. I also like how Ethan really analyses the tastes.
JunkFoodGuru on UA-cam. It's in German, but CCs should help out just fine, dude keeps trying a bunch of new stuff.
Too right! 🔥
than you didnt see a lot... or you are just a liar.
i have never seen anyone scream or panick over a german taste testing.
I met Americans and offered them Mett (raw pork) and they looked at me like I offered them a prick of plutonium or some. Guess who ate 4 portions after they tried it😂👌
Btw 5 days isn't quite right, it's only allowed to sell the day it's made.
It's a toss up as to why Americans are suspicious of raw pork, it could be related to historic European based cultural food taboos, but for my mom's family, a mix of Native American tribes of the Gulf Coast, swine was considered flat out alien... Except for that one great uncle who decided to raise them to sell. Pigs are old world animals, so that makes sense. Dad's side eats pork though. My mom's silent protest to his demand to cook pork chops was to render them into charcoal.
It's due to parasites such as Trichinella. Uncooked pork usually has this type of worm. There are many instances where people who eat under cooked pork get parasite that will travel to their brain and eat holes through it. So yeah enjoy it ;-)
@@geneard639 That's rough. I'm very glad we have potatos and tomatos and capsicum and all the other great foods from the new world here.
@@geneard639Nah they problem for americans is they're actually teached that raw pork is dangerous, while in reality it's the american food healthy system that is the problem!
And you should never eat mass produced raw pork in the USA, it's nearly always contaminated with worms and others things that must be killed of by cooking it.
Only in countries like Germany with their extreme food safety regulations it's save to eat raw pork from the supermarket!
with the 5 days he meant the ripen time of the meat. meat doesn't get sold fresh, it hangs for a time to ripe before getting further processed
The sweets at 10:08 are called "Eiskonfekt" for a reason...you're supposed to put them in the fridge or even the freezer and eat them cold, they get way better then!
Actually they are called like that because they feel cold without refrigerating them, which is because of the low melting point of the coconut fat. The same applies to "Kalter Hund".
@@TheSwedishRider I don't know exactly about the Eiskonfekt, but my grandparents always had this in the fridge.
Kalter Hund is meant to be served cold and needs to be refrigerated when making it for the cocoa filling to solidify.
@@TheSwedishRider I personally know both of them only served cold and I think both names make sense when they are used for cold foods. That's how I remember eating them aa a kid, mostly with my grandparents.
...und wennde beedes kennst biste wo och ausm Ostn! :-D
Natürlich hab ich das auch Mal warm probiert oder bei Zimmertemperatur.
Und das Eiskonfekt wird furchtbar babbsch wenn's in der Sonne gelegen hat, kannste Grad so aus der Folie zutschen. Kalt isses viel besser! ;-)
@@dereinzigwahreRichi Zu hoch sollte die Raumtemperatur halt auch nicht sein, sonst muss mans wirklich kühlen ^^
Isso, ich dachte mir schon das sie es nicht so mögen werden, weil es nicht im Kühlschrank war. Wenn es frisch vom Kühlschrank kommt ist diese Schokolade echt anders gut.
Mozart Kugeln! I'm from the US, and when I was a kid (~10) my mother would bring back Mozart Kugeln whenever she went to Vienna on a business trip (which was about 10x/year). They came in these metal tins and were fantastic.
But thats Austria!
This gets me a little nostalgic. After moving to another country, my grandmother in Germany always sent us packages from Germany with typical German snacks. When I started studying and got packages sent directly to me, hanuta, baumkuchen and (slightly embarrassing) curry king were absolute life savers, especially after a few beers or when pulling all nighters.
Gospel of Jesus Christ John 3:16 For God So loved the world that he gave his only Begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him should not Perish but have Everlasting Life.

Jesus said I Am The only way to heaven there is no other way! Repent of urs sins (Repent means Change ur Mind turning away from sinful things and being truly sorry for it.) trust Jesus and give ur life to him He Loves you cares about you more than anyone ever will! we are saved By Grace Trough Faith!,this is sin: Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death but the gift of eternal life in our Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 3:23 For all have sined and felt short of the Glory of God. For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Romans 1:18-21, 23 KJV Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 REPENT OR YOU WILL PERISH REPENT AND BELIEVE THE GOSPEL GET RIGHT WITH GOD LORD JESUS CHRIST.

OK, those were indeed classic German snacks and I agree that the majority aren't super nice, but now I'm curious to know what snacks Ethan would ever rate above an 8?! He's a harsh critic. :D
We watch Ethan but after watching this video I am convinced that he is a snob. LOL
I suppose that anyone coming from outside a culture and sampling its snacks would be a harsher critic without the nostalgia factored in. speaking very broadly, of course
8 is really good for food, I think he reserves his 9 and 10s for actually delicious food haha
Earlier today, my girlfriend and I watched ProZD rate a bunch of Campbell Soups, and we both thought of how... to an American, these are flavors and tastes that carry cultural and personal significance. Many Americans watching probably had some, wrapped up in a blanket battling a bad cold when they were 9, watching cartoons or something. But I would _never_ try it, because it would just be canned soup.
Same with most of these snacks. Barring some, they're just... candy or softdrinks or salty fried snacks. You can get those anywhere. And Ethan has his own collection of shitty snacks he grew up with that Andong just wouldn't get.
@@seaofseeof Like this peanut shaped thingis I can't wrap my head around? ^^
A collaboration I wouldn't have expected, but one that I definitely needed!!!
I'm positively shocked to see it
The grandma part is soooo true!! No one else buys those, just grandparents 😂
I just got so mad at them opening the "Prinzenrolle" from the top! I know it's the usual way, but they got such great and innovative opening on the side
I‘m 41 and I found it out when I was 40. 🤯 It’s really great how they designed it and much easier than to later on cut down the packaging.
Da fehlt die gemischte Tüte ausm Kiosk für 10 cent pro stück

It would be super cool to see a video where you actually run around and getting stuff from a kiosk or something like that.
Fun fact: Spezi is actually a brand name so there's really only the original Spezi and the Paulaner Spezi shown in the clip (which is different, apparently Paulaner bought the rights to make their own Spezi from the original creator of the brand way back in the 60s or smth) with all the other versions being called "Cola Mix" or something like that.
Bonus fact:
It is a brand name that you can actually buy a license to. Most companies don't want to pay that. So they call their drink Cola Mix or something. Paulaner is special though, because they bought a perpetual license before the whole brand was well established (so before there were yearly fees). The founder/brand company is officially still kinda mad about that.
Coca-Cola's is mezzo mix
then how did spezi try to sue paulaner because of the name?
@@PoppyGaming43 Bc as I said, Paulaner bought the rights to make their own Spezi all the way back in the 60s or 70s for a really small sum (I think around 10.000 marks back in the day), and now Paulaner makes millions every year selling that drink, and the original Spezi brand want some of that cash, so they tried to argue that a) they could cancel the deal they made back then and b) that Paulaner today isn't entitled to the same deal that Paulaner back then made (since the company changed and reformed at some point in the 80s or so)
Both arguments were rather flimsy even from a laymans point of view, so it wasn't a huge surprise that the court ruled against them.

okay I am shocked, the grandma candies: first of all I fuckin loveee these little chocolates you put on ginger bread houses they are the typical christmas candy and the last one they tried is „ice (cream) confect“ (not really actually ice cream). They're made with coconut butter hence the fast melting.. you're supposed to store them in the fridge and when eating them they're supposed to give the sensation of ice cream melting in your mouth 😅 hence the name „ice confect"🤷🏼♀️
Eis schocolade is delicious.. I order it online all the time. My daughter and grandkids love it.

Yeaaaaah

Russisch Brot is supposedly named so because the baker who introduced it in Germany in the 19th century, one Friedrich Wilhem Hanke of Dresden, claimed to have encountered the recipe in St Petersburg when he was a baker's apprentice there. Allegedly, the original idea came from a teacher who used it to familiarize his pupils, who already knew Cyrillic script, with Latin script. A different hypothesis has been postulated by Bahlsen bakery, who have been making Russisch Brot since 1904: The "Russisch" does not actually refer to the Russian country/language/people, but is a bastardisation of the word "rösch", a local term for "crispy" or "crunchy".
We're halfway through and I have to say - nice selection so far. Srue, "Mozartkugeln" are mostly from Austria, but Reber is a german company located in Bad Reichenhall (the same city the salt is from) at the border to Salzburg, Austria. But I noticed an austrian item in the thumbnail - Almdudler is an austrian lemonade...
its so funny watching somebody tasing food fron your country
As a German there are two mistakes:
You got the wrong Mozartkugeln. The Mirabell ones are much better, but you only get them in Austria and there are also Mozarttaler which have a way better ratio of filings.
And second: I would never NEVER eat Mett with butter!
1) You are correct. Best I could get at the supermarket were those sad balls.
2) THAT is your mistake not mine :D
@@mynameisandong when you are in Austria try getting Mirabell ones.
And no it's not a mistake :D
@@TheInari1 Totally agree on the Mozartkugeln! If you're feeling really decadent, get the real real ones - the handmade ones at Café-Konditorei Fürst in Salzburg. Those are heavenly.
I was literally scrolling the comments to find if someone stated this 🤍
Mett with butter is awesome. Onions are more important, though.^^ I also had the impression they didn't use any spices here, but Mett is always spiced. Mett without spices is Hack. IMO Thüringer Mett (spiced with salt, pepper and nutmeg mostly) is the most amazing Mett you can eat on a bun.
Just to set this straight: Reber Mozartkugeln are from Germany, the best known Austrian version is made by Mirabell (now owned by US company Mondelez 😱 and insolvent). Invented however by Konditorei Fürst in Salzburg. In Austria you will have a hard time finding the Reber version.
But since Mozart himself as well as his birthplace Salzburg sometimes were German, sometimes Austrian … who cares? 🤷♂️
The Reber Version is produced in Bad Reichenhall. It’s liks 15 minutes away from Salzburg. In my opinion, the Reber is the best version followed by Fürst
Germany and Austrai are same same but different anyway
We have those kiss things in Finland too, and here before 2001 they were branded as n-word kisses. I think it being called that is one of those classic old person hills to die on, alongside the (now removed) airforce swastika logo.
They also exist in Belgium, formerly known as N-word tits
Seems like a common theme to call them n-word things, in French they used to be called "n-word heads"
Hm they look very similar to tea cakes (idk if it's a British thing or not but that's what they are called)
Here it was called N word kisses till like a couple year ago😅
Where i'm from in germany we didn't call them n-word kisses, but "moor heads" which is not much better and along with "gipsy sauce" it is exactly one of these hills german boomers are willing to die on
There is a Classic from Frankfurt called "Handkäs' mit Musik", mainly Harzer Roller pickled with vinegar and diced onions, loads of kümmel. You eat it with good bread made from sourdough with a think layer of Butter and some Salt. Questions about the music? The music comes with digestion... The less kümmel, the more music. You're Welcome!
(You serve ist with truckloads of "Äbbelwoi". Apfelwein, a superdry, vinegar-smelling cider from Frankfurt - it is the worst. Incredibly dry. I'd go for french cidre).
Harzer is made of the whey after making cheese. In former times it used to be a poor man's food, nowadays it is annoyingly expensive.
The Harzer cheese in the video wasn't ripe yet. It is ripe when everything white has turned yellowish and glassy like the outside part. You have to marinate it in vinegar and oil and lots of chopped onion, that's called "Handkäse mit Musik". I love it, but I'm the only one I know who loves it.

The German branch of Ferrero developed them especially for the German market catering to german tastes. And only later on they were sold in different countries as well, long after they had gotten popular in germany. So I'd still say those are orinal German snacks 😉
@Fabian Stiefel No Kinder is actually original Italian from Italy 🇮🇹, not German not from Germany 🇩🇪, The Kinder story began in 1968 in the centre of Alba - a beautiful small town in Northern Italy.

Coke and Fanta sounds like a fantastic combo
try it at least once in your life! Very refreshing.
it is !
its the best
But important fact to bear in mind: German Fanta is much tangier, less sweet-tasting than most Fantas in the world.
It tastes closer to sparkling orange juice than anywhere, I've tried, in the world. USA, South America, Eastern Europe - it tastes like liquified orange candy.
Also it is much paler.
Oh trust me its good
Actually, It would have been a good idea to ask him, which german snacks Ethan knows from home (and is able to get there) and buy the exact same ones. Turns out, our snacks like Tofiffe or Riesen are a lot less sugary/sweet than in the Americas.
The candy with crunchy sprinkles - Nonpareils - is my favorite candy!
Now I’m hungry for some German snacks 🍫🍬🍪🥮🌭
That’s the Crossover I never knew I needed, but I absolutely did!
Edit: The Dickmann Schokoküsse are okay but nothing compared to freshly made ones. There still are a few factories who make them with fresh meringue and those are amazing!
If you ever visit a Christmas Market or other German festivals there's a good chance fresh ones are sold at a stall.
ive neverf heard of this, and im german lol
Also a Childhood classic: Super Dickmann's inside a plain Breadroll. Popular at sports festivals like swimming competitions.
I think its more a north-german/denmark thing
Dickmann’s are pretty bad, to be honest. They are made to be cheap and to keep for a long time. The whole marketing behind them is about their size ... But neither taste not consitency are really pleasant to eat. Viennese Niemetz has their "Schwedenbomben", which is of course still a mass produced product, but not as bad as Storck with a much better recipe and better ingredients. They are noticeably more expensive, but in terms of taste it is so much better than this Dickmann’s stuff. I tried a Dickmann’s twice in my life. That has been enough to make me never want to get close to these things again.
Wut. That absolutely bonkers. Two of my favourite Foodtubers tasting germany snacks. There is nothing better

Hey Andong,
a dish that I really liked when I grew up in germany was Milchreis (both by Müller company and selfmade).
Could you make a video where you dive into the history a bit and then try to make it?
You need a certain sort of rice, and you cook it in milk
That's extremely easy: take a pot, pour some full-fat-milk (4:1 milk:rice ratio) in it, add the content of a vanillabean and some sugar to your liking, bring it to a boil, add round-grain rice (in Germany it is specifically sold as Milchreis, but pretty much any starchy round-grain type should do), take it off the heat, put a lid on and tightly wrap the pot in your bed blanket and put it into your bed for a couple of hours.
Sprinkle some cinnamon-sugar onto it if you like it sweeter, otherwise it's great on its own, with fruit, applesauce, cooked cherries, etc.
@@hmvollbanane1259 I have never seen Milchreis in the bed. Maybe that's the traditional power efficient way. In general it's a simple dish. Cinnamon is a must to finish it on the plate.
Top it with hot golden-liquid slightly browner butter and cinamon-sugar... oh, childhood! 😋
Nudossi is not "off-brand" Nutella but a hazelnut spread from former GDR. It is still produced by Zetti who also do Knusperflocken.
Knusperflocken mit weisser Schokolade mag ich am meisten!!!
Die klassischen Knusperflocken sind mir zu deftig schokoladig!!! Sollte eine mildere Vollmilchschokolade sein!!! Zartbitter kann ich generell nicht leiden!!!

@@schniekeschnalle Know them. :)
They don't taste enough like speculoos and are completely overpriced. :/
some glaring omissions:
pretzel sticks, gummi bears, malt beer/Porter (German root beer), Toffifee, Knusperflocken (chocolate-covered crispbread crumbs), Bi-Fi (salami sticks), peanut flips, Berliner Weiße (lager beer with waldmeister syrup), Babybel (small gouda cheese rounds), Ahojbrause (lemonade powder), Berliner/Krapfen (doughnut filled with jam/pudding/eggnog), Kaltschale (chilled instant milk pudding with fruits/berries), Rumtopf (rum pot), canned fish in tomato sauce...
My two favorite informative, no nonsense UA-cam cooks! Need more of these
This brought me back! I was an exchange student in high school, and I went back about 4 years ago. Spezi is delicious, but I usually bought Mezzo Mix(coca-cola's brand of the same mix). My all time favorite snack food? Erdnuss Flips! Best comparison I can make is if cheetos were dusted with peanut butter instead of cheese 😂
So great to see Ethan in Berlin! We need another collab you two. Also, Poland is right here, Ethan. I hope you visit soon and try pierogi at a mleczny bar or local donuts (paczki) ;) There truely is a lot of food content to be made travelling Europe
Personally I would wait til Easter for a visit to Poland.
My Polish friend usually shows me a home feast that she would cook every year for the occasion, so I would be super curious about what the masses of Polish people do on the holiday, on a larger scale. I think that would be a very interesting food tour for everyone to see :D
he probably should visit Poland, the land of his ancestors.
4:12 did you know if you put those on a blate and then put them in the microwave for 30 seconds and then eat them with a lil spoon it tastes like smores without the cracker? I love doing that!
The Fassbrause was in a plastic bottle. Usually its from the brew Company "Barre" or "Veltins". Most of the Times you have the Holunder which means elder or is made out of elderflowers.
Expected u put the Dickmanns between a Breadroll. Also the 5 Minuten Terrine with onions and croutons is way better imo than the meatball one . Great Video, Amazing vibe u guys have.
I am just trying to figure out what wine to pair with jelly bananas ... Great video guys!
If I remember correctly, my grandma liked them with sherry. Don't ask me more specifics, I was way too young to be told that.
LMAO! yes !
Fassbrause currently is a mix of malt and fruit extracts, although the original version was apple juice and liquorice. Sometimes spices are added as well. Apparently the inventor of it (1908) was trying to make a non-alcoholic beer for his kids. Oh! I've had jelly bananas! I love them! (yes, I'm weird)

Not raw port, but raw beef with onions (called beef tatar). Sometimes even with anchovis.
Mett is basically pork tartare, therefeore is great. It is also available in Poland, but you won't see on display in meat store, you need to ask for it. You can buy in supermarket processed onion mett (pol. metka cebulowa) in ~200g plastic casing.
Throughout this episode I had the biggest smile on my face. Two of my favorite Food Creators in an unlikely collab.
Haha. For the Mortiz chocolate, in Slovakia, my family used to call them "ice chocolate", because we kept them in the fridge only and ate them as cold as possible :D it had a very specific taste which I loved as a kid, but cannot get to like as adult :D
Same, and I am from Berlin. 😁
Same here, Bavaria. It needs to be ice cold.
That’s the way
We get these in Canada, but they are best in cups size.
When you find them in the US, they're called "Ice Cubes". They're very old fashioned and hard to find.
There is a version of Hanuta with darker chocolate, so they've got you covered :P
9:33 for the jelly bananas you HAVE TO try the East German variant which is fabricated by a Thuringian chocolate fabricant called "Berggold". It's less chocolate and MUCH better than the "West German" version of it imo!
9:33 bei den Gelee-Bananen MÜSST ihr unbedingt die ostdeutsche Variante probieren, die von einer Thüringer Schokoladenmanufaktur namens „Berggold“ hergestellt wird. Es ist weniger Schokolade und VIEL besser als die "Westbanane"!

You didn't try it in the video but the 7 days Bake Rolls is a greek brand of snacks. It's great!
I was surprised to find it at a german supermarket.
Oh my fucking god I was so hoping this collab would happen - my two favorite youtube chefs! So glad you guys got to get together - it really seems like you're cut from the same cloth, at least as far as cooking goes. Both very creative and technique-focused dudes. Hope to see some cooking stuff with you both too! But if not - still fun to see you guys together - and get a peak into some German snacks! Was much more fun and interesting than I anticipated, actually - usually not hugely into "we taste xyz" style videos. Great selection of foods on your part.
But you are supposed to put the little chocolates in the fridge!!! It’s Eiskonfekt!
Schätze mal dafür war er zu dumm...
Fassbrause was invented by a chemist as a fake beer for his kid. It's malt and water with fruit juice, sugar and herbs. There is an American product called Apple Beer based on the original recipe. The fruit juice component can vary though, the most popular in Germany is the red cherry flavored one I think.
Yes, the first one is more of a stopgap solution haha you can prepare it very quickly but it will never come close to a real currywurst
well, thank goodness for this video. I'm due to move back to Germany in like a month or so, after spending 20 years away - until now I had no idea that Super Dickmanns have lost their colloquial name. I mean it makes sense and it's certainly for the best, but I would not have known or suspected. And that could have made for an awfully awkward supermarket encounter.
Depends on where you are. In the bigger cities like Berlin definitely, however in the countryside they are still colloquial called Mohrenkopf or Negerkuss.
after all Neger never had the same meaning as the N-word in English as the German equivalent to that is "Bimbo", guess it became unfashionable due to its similarity and hence use in translations of American movies and series but the word itself doesn't have anywhere near the same connotations to it and is still occasionally used in the countryside
The jelly banana slander 😭
Love those
I grew up in Germany and developed a taste for some of these things including the jelly bananas and chocolate rings. I'm living in the UK now but you can still get some things like the pombears and the princes, but certain other things like salted liquorice, all of the drinks and the milch-schnitte are pretty much impossible to get, and then the Super Dickmanns only turn up in Christmas markets and are crazy expensive for some reason.
I also remember these paprika flavoured kangaroo snacks called Jumpys, I miss those, and I used to drink bananaweizen. It's like a weiss bier cocktail with banana juice. No idea how you juice a banana though :D
Have you tried looking for milch schnitte in polish shops? They are pretty popular in Poland too, worth trying
I feel you on the Jelly bananas. Not all brands are great but man do I love some of them.
You don't juice a banana, you just mix it with some liquid. :D
3:15 Ehm, Coca Cola (and Pepsi) are also off brand.
The first one to produce it was the company Riegele which (very quickly) had an agreement with Paulaner for both to use the word in co-existence.
9:27 I loved these when I was younger :,) just putting them into a small bowl and eating them as a snack :D
10:05 That is Eiskonfekt! You're supposed to eat it frozen. The are melty so at the low temperatures they are still soft enough to eat. They aren't great at room temp tho xD
Awesome collab! 👌
Regarding Kräutersalz/herbed salt: the one from the Rewe Bio brand is way better in my book, it has Bockshornklee/Fenugreek in it (for even more Umami) and is less salty.
I like jelly bananas :(
BTW, the better alternative to Mozarts balls (and actually German): Hallorenkugeln from Halle!
Fassbrause is basically sparkling apple juice and malt extract as far as I know.
9:10. they are called "Schokoladen-Kränze/Kranz" And i absolutely love the bought ones. Never had selfmade ones tho. Exactly those are absolute bangers and i hate you two for your opinion and wtf. I love Jelly orange cakes. They are great. Banana aint it but the orange ones are FUCKING BANGERS:
Jelly bananas are one of my favourite sweets! Love them so much. How are they "granny"? And how can one dislike them? I mean: People eat Jaffa Cakes which are basically jelly oranges!
Who the fuck likes jaffa cakes?
Jaffa cakes are the worst cakes🥶
@@tulip811 They were my favourites as a child :)
Jaffa cakes are good! Or orangettes, just the orange jelly enrobed with chocolate. Artisanal orangettes are with crystallised orange zest, I believe.
Just accept your old age ;-D
I must admit, I was internally retching at the thought of half 'n' half Coke/Fanta at first, but I just gave it a try today and it's actually really nice. 👍🍹
You do know that Coke contains citrus flavourings, right? So, Fanta and coke are brother and sister. But, if I had to choose between the two, Fanta is my homie esp lemon, fruit burst, and grape Fanta.
In restaurants its always served with a slice of lemon stuck on the top of the glass, which actually still adds a nice touch to the flavor, as there is always a teeny tiny layer of lemon juice on top.
was ? in was für restaurants bestellst du denn deine spezi ? hatte noch nie ne winzig dünne schicht orangen saft obfn drauf... o.o
@@xiaomei942 Falls du das Kommentar von Stefan mit der Zitrone meinst; Durch die Zitronenscheibe hat man ein bisschen von dem Saft bzw das Aroma auf der oberen Schicht der Spezi und weil beide Getränke eine Citrusnote haben, passt das sehr gut. Nicht buchstäblich Orangensaft ist in der Mische drinnen :)
@@RandomBlair achso ja okay :D ich dachte iwie eben an buchstäblichen orangensaft der dann oben noch draufgekippt wird :D :D :D
The “Moritz” needs to go in the fridge for a bit, then it’s really good!! Try it guys ;)
One of the biggest things about Mett is that raw pork can be dangerous to consume similar to raw chicken. Raw pork is associated with trichinosis which is why I was always told to avoid it. Beef and fish (excluding shellfish) do not have the same issues although they can
Harzer Roller is great with butter on a fresh bread!
You might wanna call those "German Oreo's" Belgian, because they were created by the famous (in Belgium anyway) Antwerp biscuiterie De Beukelaer in 1870, in honour of King Leopold II, who had to wait 30 years as a prince before actually becoming king, hence the French name of the cookies "Prince Fourré" (which translates into... "Stuffed Prince"). Every kid in Belgium grew up with these cookies.
Grew up with them in the UK too :D
i grew up with them in NL as well!
Same here in France 😂
Same in luxemburg
Even Maggi potatoes are not German but Swiss, not to mention the Kinder milchschnitte that are Italian.
Milchschnitte actually is Italian. It’s originally called “Fette al latte” witch literally translates into “Milchschnitte” and Ferrero just sells it by its German name in Germany
Must by the shittiest italien sweet ever then. Did they want to get rid of it and therefore gave it to the germans?
The Kinder Milchschnitte ( The Kinder Milk Slices ) is actually not from Germany 🇩🇪🦅 at all, but The Kinder Milchschnitte ( The Kinder Milk Slices ) is actually original from Italy 🇮🇹, Alba, Italy 🇮🇹🍕🍝, by the way my friend 😊😊😊😎😁😁😁🤜🏻🤛🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻😊😊😎😎😎🍺🍺🍺🍻🍻🍻🍫🍫🍫🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹
At least here down south, Mett is seasoned with caraway powder, salt, pepper and garlic powder, which does give it a fairly distinct taste (mostly due to the caraway). But overall good selection of fairly representative snacks!
One note though: Spezi is not 50% Fanta, 50% Cola. It's 50% Cola and 50% Orange Soda. It will taste VASTLY better if you use some sort of (good quality) orange soda instead of Fanta. Fanta just doesn't really taste like orange in my opinion.
I’m literally watching this just cuz I’m part german and decided to learn about German snacks
3:50 Not much better here, we used to call those… Ahem, « N-word’s » heads.
Now giving Ethan unripe Harzerkäse on its own is just cruel! Also misrepresentative of how Harzer is supposed to be enjoyed properly.
That!
Yes!! It has to be eaten at or after expiration date when it's all ripe and ready, and best marinated in a vinaigrette with diced onions. Absolutely delicious!!
You literally showed everything I hated about my childhood in the 80s 😂😂😂
Gotta check Ethan's channel, a guy with "chleb" in his last name (it means bread in Polish) must know his stuffe about food. 😁
„Jelly Bananas“ are the best things in the wordl beside Gulasch ngl
Hands of! Best version of the Dickmann's is Dickmanns: Dicke Eier (only available around easter)
I don’t see any Knoppers in the thumbnail?!
Sir, I’m refusing to watch this video!
It was not 9.30 therefore it was illegal to eat Knoppers
Oh god I love the jelly bananas. They taste the best when refrigerated.
Huh, Russisch Brot is the best if it sat in the open package for a few days. it's starting to get that slightly gooey consistency but still has a little bit of crunch to it.
I really love it that way
That' how I like it too, and this works also for Spekulatius.
13:40 According to the company, Russian bread is derived from “Rösches Brod” (rösch = crispy; Brod = sweet baked goods). The term “Russian bread” is therefore based on a folk etymological reinterpretation.
Mett-Brötchen is the best hangover breakfast you can get, in my opinion. When I have a really bad hangover I don't feel like eating anything. Then I kinda force myself to eat Mett-Brötchen and after a few bites, the hunger comes back and I probably eat 4 or 5 breadrolls.
