Es ist wirklich schlimm was die Deutschen denken was wir Amerikaner essen o.0 dabei gibts wirklich nette "typische" gerichte die nix mit fast food am hut haben könnt ihr darüber mal ein Video machen?
Deana is right, if you want good Donuts, to get them in "Dunkin' Donuts" (n Hamburg I know 5 or 6 stores) is the best solution. The Donuts you buy in supermarkts are mostly dry and without taste.
To be fair we do the same with international stuff.
What do they do with ribs in Germany if they don’t use them like we do?
So I fund it hilarious that Phil thinks Germans just don't do doughnuts. First recorded recipe for a dough nut was from a German cookbook in the 15th century. The Dutch brought doughnuts to New York. They have morphed quite a bit, used to be straight and twisted, so they would turn themselves over in the oil.
American food in Germany is about as American as “German” food in the US is German.
I live in an area of Texas that was founded by Germans. Even the best German food I’ve had here is probably nothing like in Germany.
Ps German potato salad beats it’s American counterparts. I hope that gets even better, too.
@@JessieHTX mabye u have some kinda other potato "strains" (don't know if this is the right word, but u get me)
Fortunately, we live next to Washington DC and are availed many authentic cuisines. I am grateful for this, especially since I was privileged to live in the gorgeous Germany for five years.
@@YESHUAISTWL Please recommend a good German restaurant.
Funny how when people move from another country to the U.S. they fail at making their native foods and somehow are lesser.
BBQ Meatballs is a thing in the midwest, especially during football season. Fill a crockpot with a bag of frozen meatballs, a bottle of sweet baby ray's, and a jar of grape jelly.
When my American husband came to Germany for the very first time, they had American week at Aldi. After he tried a few things he said: That's so NOT American 😂
But the same goes for some "German" products in the US. It may be ok if you feel a little homesick, but it's just not the same.
I prefer German food when I visit my folks in Germany and I eat American food when I'm back in the States. But I have to admit that we once went to a Bavarian style Restaurant in the States and the food actually tasted pretty awesome. The chef and owner was born and raised in Bavaria and he tried his best to create the original taste.
It would be so good if there were more options for fried chicken than KFC, Raising Cane's or a Chick-fil-A in western Germany,the one near us is not so good
@@teribendt94 Yeah, Germany is a fast food wasteland. They only know McDonalds, Burger King and KFC. Most KFC stores are pretty bad. But they have Five Guys stores 😁
@@yourpainisagift6171 ,They are pretty good :)
@@yourpainisagift6171 It's fast food CHAIN Wasteland. You want to grab fast food? Go to a Döner store. Or a Currywurst stall. Or a bakery and grab a sandwich and so on.
@@undertakernumberone1 Yeah, that's what I meant. FF chain wasteland.
I don't know how well Deana speaks German already, but her accent has definitely improved a lot. The way she said "Macaroni with Käsesoße" was almost spot on :)
Danke! Although I think my English is getting worse...
Yeah, I immediately noticed that too!
@@DeanaandPhil A friend I grew up with has lived in Southern France for ~5 years now and his English is definitely getting worse over time (mostly in subtle ways though). I think it just comes with the territory of living between cultures a bit
@@DeanaandPhil Hahhaa can relate!!
@@DeanaandPhil "Butcher's Louisiana Spare Ribs" were a great idea, today I bought me a package in the Penny Markt. I rubbed the Ribs with mustard and put it in the electric home grill for 15 minutes- so yummy with a fresh breadroll! 👍
Deana I love that you used to put tuna fish in your Mac and cheese!! I did it when my kids were younger to add protein for them. They are both young adults now and they still make it that way sometimes!
Idk how it started, but I love it! That's so cool that your kids do the same!
@@DeanaandPhil We did it at Penn State. It's cheap and good!
Tuna Helper!
Tuna fish? Do you eat steak cow also?
@@nickrydar9225 no need to be an ass. I'm quite certain most folks call it tuna fish!
I am German, grew up in the 90s and we always had peanutbutter with apricot jelly. We also ate it with honey or nutella. Not on this white soft bread but with a non whole grain bread. But I remember that peanutbutter wasn't common among my friends and hard to get, so we went to the Netherlands to buy it. And even today it's hard to find a really good one here. Godd one means to me a peanutbutter with roasted peanuts and no added sugar.
15:40 see the 23 on the can? It’s actually 23 flavors combined. The legend says the inventor owned a soda fountain where you could pick the syrups you wanted in your drink and he got sick of waiting for people to make up their mind so for people who took too long he’d give them a shot that was a mixture of a little of every flavor all 23
boxed mac n cheese, can of cream of mushroom, can of peas (mixed in last), and a can of tuna is what we eat once a week
Tuna surprise
@@brucekrygier5842 it aint a surpise anymore ive been eating for 25 years or so lol
Once a week is too many times. I would get tired of it. Once in a while it would be good. Sorry, it must have good memories tied to it but I just couldn't eat it so often.
I put tuna (and peas) in my mac and cheese, too, to add some protein and veggies.
The amount of pork that I eat when i'm in Germany, I am always surprised that American style BBQ has not caught on at ALL in Germany.
All of my German friends LOVE BBQ when they come to the US.
I'm a German and live in Germany,, my son's (1,5 year, 3,5 year) really LOVE Peanut butter! They eat it EVERY day for breakfast and for dinner!
Peanut butter is amazing there's so much you can do with it. Can put it in so many different foods. Peanut oil especially your cooking. you should look up George Washington Carver.
*Also since yor kid loves peanut butter there's an Israeli snack called Bama. It's pretty good it's basically a puff like a cheese puff but peanut butter.
Here in the Midwest. Meatballs are a very popular potluck/appetizer food, usually mixed with little smokies and cooked in the Crock-Pot
I was stationed in Germany 1984 -1987 and loved every day of it. Frankfurt. Kaiserslautern. Pirmesans. Fischbach bie Dahn. Thank you for posting your videos 👍👍👍
I not sure if all of this is so good for you!!!
haha we definitely don't and wouldn't eat these things every day!
It’s always so funny to me to see what other countries think of American food. I love tuna in Mac n cheese! When my husband and I started dating, we would get 19 cent boxed Mac n cheese and mince beef, and mix those together and called it filler since it got ya nice and full 🤣 last time we tried making it, we both felt sick after and realized why we don’t eat what we did 25 years ago 🤣
Deana, I imagine finding pimento cheese spread in Germany is next to impossible. Maybe at a military commisary.....I'd love to see Phi's reaction to that.
Bacon jam, when made right, is great on a hamburger or cheeseburger.
€0.69 for a Dr Pepper? That's cheaper than in the States.
Ohh, how much does it cost in the US right now?
@@DeanaandPhil Most vending machines are up to 75¢. A 12-pack runs $6-7.
but it‘s not shipped from the US, it‘s been produced under license somewhere in EU.
My daughter agrees with you! Mac and cheese with canned tuna is one of her favorites lol!
Phil , If you really want Great American Corn Dogs , one has to go to a County or State Fair ! You can also buy a brand named '' State Fair Corn Dogs '' in most U.S. Grocery Stores !
Sonic Drive-Ins have good corn dogs too.
I think the most "Butchers" products from REWE and netto are pretty good compared to the price...
i love the fries from the butchers brand
Grew up with German and southern soul food mix, boiled country ham with sweet and sour red cabbage is the best comfort food ever.
I like tossing in a couple of hot dogs in the water while the mac n cheese boils. The Maine red snapper hot are the best. The casing has a bit of crunch and the meat seems tastier than a regular dog. Howard Johnson's frozen mac n cheese was my favorite growing up. It was before microwaves and took 45 minutes in the oven, but there was a delicious, crunchy crust on top (the best part). Far better than blue box.
My aunt used to make the best mac n cheese from scratch. It was a long time ago, but I remember that she used rigatoni pasta IIRC and some very stretchy white cheeses. I wish I had that recipe today :(
Can't wait for your video exploring japanese food in Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka! Would love to show you around there even though I'm back in Germany now!
We would love to! We haven't make our way to Japan yet, but it's top of our travel lists!
As a south Carolinian, I was also surprised to see something like that show up in Germany. However I saw the noodles and I was like no... This won't be good. Nothing beats home made versions of macaroni salads!
LOL I grew up with my Mom adding tuna to Mac & Cheese, and its actually pretty good!
6:30 min I remember in 1984 (i was still little) my very first visit in the McDonald's Hildesheim with my parents. Exactly in this time McDonald's introduced "Chicken McNuggets" in Germany, everybody wanted them and loved them! There was a TV in the McDonald's with a film, a group of puppets preparing Chicken McNuggets in a kitchen. My good, so long ago... 🥲
as someone who has spent a considerable amount of time in st. louis, these are not st. louis style ribs, this is a baby back cut that were likely slowly roasted in an oven and packaged. st. louis style is it's own specific cut, hot smoked low and slow, in a smoker, while glazing with a vinegar/tomato based bbq sauce intermittently the entire time it's cooking
I love these types of videos from you both, the ones that mix both cultures.
Loved the video! Would love a part 2 one day.
I always get the bagels simply because they are so hard to find otherwise. Can't imagine the texture comparing well to a freshly baked one but still a bagel
My girlfriend and I are getting close to taking the next step and becoming engaged. She's been living in the US for about 12 years, but is originally from Germany and is considered a citizen. Can you guys possibly do a video (or point me to one if it already exits) where you describe the process Deana had to take to move to and permanently stay in Germany? We want out of the US as quickly as we can, but it'll be after the wedding for sure, which should happen within the next 2 years.
Thanks!
Love you guys! I have lived all over the US and every potluck I've ever been to someone brings BBQ meatballs. Never from a can, but homemade it's actually pretty good! Best wishes!
I have a bbq meatball recipe that I’ve been making for 30 years & it is the best. My grandma used to make bbq meatballs- it was my favorite meal when we were at her house.
Sausage balls are a distinctly Southern thing.
Yessss! I was yelling at the TV, "That's just crockpot meatballs!" A bag of frozen meatballs, a bottle of bbq sauce, and a jar of grape jelly - heat until warmed through. You can also use cocktail weenies instead of meatballs. Delicious.
Fun fact regarding artificial banana flavoring: it is based on a near extinct banana variety known as the Gros Michel, of which the artificial banana flavor is supposed very accurately represent. Gros Michel banana cultivars were devastated by a fungus in the 50s, whereafter the current Cavendish cultivar became the dominant commercial banana.
You can find Mac&Cheese in Rewe/Hit here in germany. And as i remember it is originaly from the US.
In our HIT-Market we have a big Shelf with original food from the US. Maybe you can find it at Rewe, because they work together.
Ohhhh do you recall which brand of mac and cheese??
@@DeanaandPhil I`m not sure. Maybe its from Kraft or CMC (I just found out that this is maybe a british company) If you want I can find it out but, my next shopping tour is on friday.
@@danielhermanowski6148 If you remember to! We'll stop by our nearby REWE and see too. Although, we definitely shouldn't be eating that regularly. haha. but we might just have to get a box or two just in case.
@@DeanaandPhil One day I will taste all the US food that you can`t find in germany directly in the Staates. But first I have to persuade my fiancee to travel to the US. 😂
@@DeanaandPhil look for an american candystore in germany they almost allways have cereals and mac and cheese and some pops also
Kraft Mac&Cheese, with a small can of tuna and some (cooked) frozen peas is top-tier easy tuna casserole. Very simple, very cheap, very tasty.
Stoffer's Makes the BEST Mac 'n Cheese ! Better than Kraft where one adds that powdered Cheese !
Love the video! Just a few personal opinions here 🤠
- I love PB&J and love it with bananas; when i do so, I always toast the bread so the bread doesnt get soggy
- I also love Mac&Cheese and this was My staple lunch in college; I would always put sausage, tuna and veggies with either tomato sauce or ketchup to make for a decent meal
- I love the store brand PB cups because Reeses wasnt sending their products to Chile; thankfully we now have it thanks to Candyland (the store brand PB cups are still my thing if I want to get something to share with family and friends though)
Keep it up! 🤗😉
And, fun video! I love watching with my German husband - so we can relate 🌸
I LOVE DR PEPPER so I was thrilled when I found it in my corner Edeka. Definitely a love or hate drink, I think.
My husband and I have been binge watching your vlogs!! He is German and I am American. We absolutely love your topics that you have on your channel 💗💗🎉
So-called American-style doughnuts and cookies were introduced by the Dutch and Germanic Scandinavian settlers in the Colonies. Many other cultures fried and baked dough, but the Dutch had already begun making extensive use of sucrose leading to that "American" taste.
I too was born in South Carolina. When we had a barbecue or a "pig-pickin' party," we still favored the French/American style sauce which had little if any sweeteners. The sauce was mainly butter and herbs, although added sugars grew quickly in popularity. Poorer people used more vinegar in their recipes. With the out-of-control recent fashion of adding hot peppers to everything in Western cuisine, most Americans imagine such to be traditional (it is not). Although digging a pit for the barbecue was most traditional, some folks used a shed or even the kitchen (a separate building in colonial America), and eventually came to use metal oven/smoker receptacles.
When I was in Europe, especially in the 1950s, I had little to no luck finding (North) American-style peanut butter, milkshakes, sodas, or truly crispy fried foods.
As you may know, George Washington Carver had nothing to do with the invention of peanut butter/cheese. The eastern Asians had been making it in various forms for their cuisines since time immemorial, and Pindarkaas was immensely popular in Dutch colonies. It was actually the Quebecois who, near the end of the 1800s, came up with the idea of making the product smoother and adding rather large amounts of refined sucrose. At about the same time, John Kellogg's sanitarium developed a machine to make the peanut butter ultra-smooth and free of the annoying bits of shell and skin. Outside of health circles, peanut butter was not very popular until the First World War's slightly confusing propaganda telling the U.S. and Canadian citizens they could win the war in Europe by having "meatless Mondays," deriving protein from peanut butter rather than meats.
I had hilarious adventures trying to get German-speaking people to understand what a milkshake was. In the early days, milkshakes were health food, originally because they contained eggs, cow milk, sugar (still a health food then), and rather large amounts of whiskey, later, the base was changed to malted milk and the alcohol was omitted. By my time, the fashion was to add flavors and ice cream. I made the mistake of describing it to the German speakers as a sort of frozen "Eierlikör." Clearly, I was already a pedant at heart, although this did lead to very interesting offerings.
I was perhaps most surprised by the carbonated soft drinks, considering that the Coca-Cola company had been in Germany for years. Without exception, the canned sodas tasted very much like Alka-Seltzer until the late 1970s. I still do not know why.
Crispy foods. Wouldn't you think they would be everywhere? But until the introduction of new methods for making breading (e.g. panko crumbs), even the ubiquitous Schnitzel had a soft, smooth coating. Deep-fried onions and some dishes made with re-fried Griebenschmaltz placated me somewhat.
The corndog was never a health food, but Deana is right, the cornmeal batter was always smooth and even. Chicken nuggets were invented in the 1950s in the USA and a refined (?) version was perfected (again, ?) in 1963. The small amount of "meat" that was in the nuggets was mostly fat, processed with bones, nerves, skins, and lots of salt and sugar. The result was a salty rubberband-like product. Absolutely forbidden in the homes of my extended family, I finally gave up and let my son eat them. Whatever the public will allow, I guess.
Meatballs are found around the world, but the "barbecue" style is thanks largely to the American addition of "love apples," i.e. tomatoes, in 1812 to the traditional--and very complex ketchup/catsup fish sauce introduced from China. Living in Europe, you all have probably had some dishes (especially Danish)--meatballs, potatoes, and so on that are traditionally served caramelized.
Well, I hope you all will excuse an old lady's ramblings. Love your videos!
These items aren’t technically American, but it wouldn’t surprise me to find them in the frozen section of a US grocery store. It’s definitely more American inspired than actually American but it’s not as far off as I expected.
Deana was making her own Tuna Helper. I've tried it and it's not bad.
Hi guys from Pgh, Pa. My husband and I are in our mid 50's. We're always concerned about the salt intake. Besides the taste test. Hoping the salt isn't too high. We have Aldi here. The Aldi peanut butter cups are amazing. 👍👍🤤😋🤤😋 we just love watching you guys!! So fun!! Xo 💙❤️🌺🌹☺️☺️☺️ Dr pepper is so delicious. It's funny how allot of our parents kept us away from pop/sodas. Nowadays my mom has every pop in her house. The grand kids rate. Lol ☺️☺️☺️
Big ++ on the can of tuna in the mac & cheese! These new flavored tuna pouches come in spicy and goes _great_ with mac & cheese.
I love peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. They're my weekend breakfast. Reese's are too gritty for me. Don't like the texture. Love it when you do videos like this. Thanks for the entertainment.
The grittiness in Reese's is actually the sugar.
i used to get those ribs cuz they're quick and easy and not that expensive, made a quick coke and cherry glaze to em, they're actually surprisingly good, would recommend.
My grandmother used to make me PBJ on toasted bread… I don’t know why but toast just makes it a 10
Phil with the peanut butter cups was so heartwarming!
Dr. Pepper has always tasted like carbonated prune juice to me 🤷♀️
My mom made mac n cheese with tuna when I was a kid, total comfort food. I've never seen bacon jam for sale in a store in the US, just in fancier burger restaurants that is made in house
I’m 63 years old, and the only time I had meatballs in BBQ sauce was in MRE’s (Meal Ready to Eat) when I was in the U S Marine Corps in the early 80’s. ( we called them Meals Rejected by Ethiopia because they were so terrible) but the meatballs in bbq was good! Of course they got rid of those!!!
Uuuh, your new setup is amazing! love it
Artificial banana flavor is what bananas used to taste like before they became extinct and the new banana species replaced it.
Haha the stunned look "this is so good!"
bacon jam made properly is really good. At a restaurant we used to work at, we used brown sugar, diced/minced bacon, carm onions, and balsamic vinegar. I would definitely recommend making/trying good bacon jam on a burger
Fun stuff, I enjoyed it and wouldn't mind seeing more lol
Visit Wurzburg 🍷 wine festivals this month please 👍👍
Ohhh good to know, Thanks!
Great video as always guys
We eat BBQ meatballs for an appetizer during the holidays and have done so since I was a little kid. Southern Indiana
Deana I loved you pronounced Reese's as "ree-sees." I do too! I've found not everyone does! I am from Maryland so I don't know if it is a speech pattern thing or not in the US.
Dr pepper is still one of my favorite sodas I actually had a month for a year ago where all I ate for breakfast with Dr pepper and ramen LOL
Corn dogs are typically put in a fryer. And the batter on it is made from cornmeal and other ingredients.
You all make me laugh in these, especially how excited she gets to try the snacks :) it is so cute ♡, I just found your channel and it is so entertaining and enjoyable :)
Regarding bacon jam:
- If you ever happen to be in Werdau in Sachsen, eat at the Erdbeerschänke and get a glas of their Bacon-Marmelade. They don't claim it to be american and it's delicious, not at all stringy and with a nice Speck flavour. (I usually don't like to advertise anything, but it just fit so well with the video.)
- In Austria we have Verhackertes, which is basically Speck thrown into the meat grinder and grounded (as in Hack from Speck). It's then seasoned and you use it as a spread on fresh bread or a bread roll. We would never put it on a steak, but I could imagine myself using it with a lean roast or as a nice addition in meatloaf.
Mac & Cheese and can tuna. Yes. I started mixing that together as a kid too. Deanna when your back in the US you’ve got to try Velveeta shells & Cheese in the box mixed with tuna fish. ❤️❤️❤️
Tuna Mac and Cheese! Yum! 🥰
I LOVE your food videos ❤️
Fantastic great job guys every episode nicely done
In Canada everybody was raving about this bakery that had homemade donuts so I went there and saw that they were yeast donuts, basically sweet bread. I walked out with nothing, I thought of you Deana haha why can’t anyone make a decent cake donut?
Those yeast donuts were likely way better than the current Tim Horton's made-from-frozen donuts though...Fellow Canadian here!
@@MichelleJonesKralka ikr, so sick of that place!
@@MichelleJonesKralka Tims used to be good it is beschissen now. lol
I completely I agree!! My favourite is old fashioned glazed cake donut and it’s impossible to find a good one in Canada :(
The last time i had a great donut was a few years ago at Dandee donuts in Miami. Its an old school donut shop.
The same is true in Mexico - in my three years living here, I've never found a cake donut - even a bad one. They're all like the raised donuts described in this video - round dough with a hole in it, but not properly deep fried. Donuts are sold in lots of places here, but they're not proper American donuts.
Bacon jam is a condiment that you have to heat up and goes really good on hamburgers.
15:49 I love dr. Pepper. I think the best way to describe the taste is coke with a paper aftertaste. It sounds weird but for me it's awesome.
You guys should try Korean corn dogs in Berlin, in the asian markets.
Deana: Remember Krispy Kreme ;-) . As someone who grew up in Germany and never understood the appeal of donuts, I have to admit that one has never tasted a real donut before trying a fresh Krispy Kreme. There is a lineup all day round for a reason.
Krispy Kreme donuts are sweeter and less substantial than traditional American raised donuts.
I have watched other videos on these American style food products not only from other expats in German, but also expats in the UK and France. I have never seen hot dogs sold in a jar, at room temperature in any local grocery store (local to me is within a 30 mile (around 48km) radius of Gary Indiana). My local grocery stores are Strack and Van Til, Food 4 Less (Kroger minus baggers), Ruler Foods (Kroger's version of Aldi), Save-A-Lot (an Aldi copycat), Aldi, Meijer (superstore), Walmart (superstore, except for 1, which is a discount department store with limited food), and Fresh County Market. For Meijer and Walmart, I put superstore by those stores because in the US, full line general merchandise and full line grocery departments together are known as superstores, but some also use the words supercenter (Walmart used to identify these type of stores as supercenters to differentiate from the discount department store, but 85% of their stores are now supercenters), hypermart, and hypermarket. Grocery store and supermarket are the same thing here.
A majority of those products don't look like American style at all. In my local stores, for what is available in the international aisle, British and Irish, German, Polish, and Swedish are almost always a limited selection imported to the US. For Mexican and Asian food, very little is imported, and made in the USA, to fit American taste palates. German expat Feli In Germany, who lives in Cincinnati Ohio right now, is lucky to have an all international grocery store by her, and she's impressed at what is available from Germany, and authentic. As for another American expat, Haley Alexis, just had her own discussion on this very topic of American style food. She talked a bit about her differences from living in Florida. She only tried one American style food, and it was cheesecake. She also made a German cheesecake from scratch. Then had her boyfriend on camera try both, and both did not like the America style cheesecake. If I were in Germany, or even France or the UK, passing off this food as American, I probably won't like it at all.
I made peanut butter cups as a ball, with swirls of white and dark chocolate ganache. The customers paid $30-$40 for two of them in the 1980s money! Oh this was at the restaurant at San Moritz Switzerland.
Glass of milk and a peanut butter and jelly sandwich is one of the easiest and best quick snacks to make
the best ribs i have eaten in germany were salted (conserving salt) and then grilled
I’m from the Midwest and we LOVE our pasta salads here!
Love how you guys `toast` your food with a kiss before you eat it, adorable😍what made you cone up with doing that?
💜Krispy Kreme gets BEST donut award🍩😎🤣
When was stationed in Flensburg I went into a local place and the had a USA Burger on the menu so I was like why not. It had corn on it. Corn. It was not bad but not American in the least lol
the corn made it American :)
So did the burger, or would have in the 1970s.
When McDonalds first opened here in the Netherlands people were lining up for blocks to get in and buy "real American food". That lasted a few days until everyone had figured out it was just more junk food, just packaged in styrofoam boxes (this was before McD switched to cardboard boxes) rather than plastic trays like Dutch fast food places tend to do.
I didn't know peanut butter but I spent my first years growing up in the former GDR. My mom was a teacher and in the early 90s there were some sort of exchange programs for teachers and so we landed in Ulm. And they had all kinds of nut "butters" like almond, hazelnut, cashew and they had it with honey. I'm not a big peanut fan, I don't like them in my food but I like a good peanut butter and honey sandwich.
American BBQ definitely needs to become more of a thing in Germany! 😁
I am from South Carolina and have been living in Germany for 8 years with my German hubby and I was so happy to see Stubb's BBQ for sale here when I first arrived. Deana, I am a huge peanut butter fan and ran across top shelf stuff in Maastricht ,no offense Germany :) I think you can buy it online now. The name is De Pindakaaswinkel and they have made it with coconut oil instead of palm oil,it comes in different flavors, my favorite hands down is the Karamel Zeezout. You guys, the German in Venice , Mike gave a great tip on one of his videos on the Oberhausen Westfield Centro Mall, I go there to buy Kraft mac&cheese,Lucky Charms cereal,etc. Last but not least I buy online from My American Market,they are cheaper than Amazon on their products and have sales often.Here is the link to Mike's video in case you are interested in the mall-ua-cam.com/video/OjQLsuXzxRw/v-deo.html
Totally agree. If there's a single thing that America did to improve the world then it was developing and spreading their BBQ culture.
You guys need to buy a convection oven/Air Fryer !!! It makes the world of difference and you will cook healthier!!! How was the sauce with the meat balls? The pizza needs jalapeños!! I beat it’s not Jiff peanut butter!! You know nice and creamy!! My farrets love peanutbutter. Where isvthe product made for the penut butter cups? I hate Dr. Pepper its really gross!! Pepsi isn’t any better. You guys coming to Frankfurt am Main fot Main Ufer Fest!!! 😊 was just in Frankfurt at Main Ufer Fest, I just hathe best Spare Ribs for € 8 and it was a full rack!!! One of the best ever!!! I went and bout a second rack!!! I’m stuffed!!!
I used to get great barbecue ribs at a place just outside Munich in southern Germany 🇩🇪
Really interesting to see. Though as a German I'd like Deana to talk more about the differences to the products in the US
On the PB&J, I feel like the classic PB&J is actually with grape jelly, but I like it with better with strawberry jelly too
The pizza you ate had a version with sausage in the crust. I liked that one pretty much. Cheese was as u said too less cheese

My wife is a British citizen and the last time we were in England, we got a “Can” of American Style Hot Dogs! A Can of Hot Dogs!!!
Once we got cheese in a can (had only seen it on tv as I live in Australia), was the worst taste experience of my life haha. But had to try it after seeing it on television and movies over the years. Nice video guys, all the best.
Seeing the prices in this video reminds me just how much more expensive groceries (and everything else) are here in Australia.
LOL I’m American, my husband is British. While in England, we’ve visited several “American” style restaurants. None were actually American. From a Philly Cheesesteak that was just a shaved beef sandwich served with arugula & cherry tomatoes, on a cold roll (no condiments), with no onions, no peppers and not even cheese included-(we argued with with the cook--I told him ‘cheese is in the name of the sandwich” lol- to peanut butter that was literally softened butter blended with chopped nuts, the best one, however: “Buffalo wings” that were baked chicken legs with a ketchup based sauce that was trying hard to be bbq lol…I have learned to bring a few essentials with me when we visit… like a bottle of Franks Red Hot. My husband says I could open an authentic American restaurant & make a fortune. FYI: we do have a BBQ meatballs in the US, usually made for a party as an appetizer. It’s basically whatever type of meatball you choose, mixed with a sauce that’s part grape jelly & part chili sauce or bbq sauce, depending on your preference. It’s not something you’ll find in a restaurant or grocery store. It’s a made-up recipe used at pot-luck parties. They’re ok served with rice or egg noodles if you have leftovers & aneed to use them. Last time I made them was for a baby shower. Sorry for the epic response lol, I could do an hour long video about this topic & the amusing, yet sometimes disappointing experiences we’ve had (like trying to find an authentic American hot dog when I was having unrelenting pregnancy cravings lol). A least McDonald’s is mostly the same--but what’s with KFC not having mashed potatoes?
Yeah, I've seen a lot of products in stores in Europe labelled as "American" but, as an American, I've never seen or heard of these items in my life. Some of them are pretty good and some are horrid, but it always gives me a chuckle.
I remember when I lived in Wiesbaden from 1969-1973 that most of my German friends didn't even know what ribs were,, and corn on the cob was fed to the pigs.
BBQ meatballs are a thing its like potluck/baby shower food. Where I am from it popular to mix bbq sauce and Grape jelly and throw frozen meatballs in the croq
This was interesting. I am not a processed food fan but those ribs look good, I think you said they were from Pennys but do any other markts do them? On the macaroni cheese, we have had Heinz MC in a can and it is wonderful 😁
I remember years ago shopping at a Plus in Köln. One week they had chicken wings called "Obama Fingers". Shortly after that I found American BBQ Peanuts. They were in a red, white and blue package. The peanuts were in the shell and came in an aluminum package and implied that you can set it on your grill. Not once have I seen this in America.
New York pizzeria restaurant!
for a Corn Dog gotta visit a Weinerschnitzel...... they are a Chili dog Franchise mainly but the do Corn Dogs which is a corn batter dipped and deep fried caseless meat link on a stick, another place thats prolly not seen all over is Hot Dog on a Stick which is a small Franchise that does Various flavors of Lemonade Pizza Pretzels and their main selling item the Corn Dog, texture should be similar to that of a Corn Bread Pancake.... if your in California you will be able to find both.. of course you could hit up a Grocery store and get some frozen corn dogs which are fairly good reheated via microwave or oven but you really cant beat freshly fried corn dogs.
Macaroni and Cheese is way easy, Get some Elbow Macaroni, boil till its cooked to your liking, have a Bechamel sauce ready to go OR use some butter, ground white pepper, heavy cream and either roux or arrow root / corn starch and fold in shredded Sharp Cheddar and or another cheese of your liking... I wouldnt use soft cheeses but thats up to you.
Dr.Pepper is Prune Soda
that Bacon Onion spread.... sounds horrible, Caramelized Onions mixed with chopped cooked bacon is salty sweet on its own without adding sugar
Branding it as American allows people to enjoy the unhealthy food while simultaneously giving them someone to blame, and the USA often plays that international role.
