The first record of a jelly doughnut appeared in a German cookbook published in 1485 :)
The first really documented version in a lexicon is from 1715
@@CavHDeu both are definitely pre-American
@@lynnm6413 yup 😁 i bet Mutzen are also very old.
the doughnut area is definitely central Europe, including Germany Austria Czechia and Poland
Deep fried dough was eaten as a high calorie snack in fall and winter and also leading up to carnival to fatten up before the 40 days of fasting towards Easter.
Nortmally a town or community would have a communal baking oven where everyone would bring their bread to bake, because brick set ovens were expensive and also a fire hazard between wooden houses, so few people had ovens in their house.
You could bake flatbread in a pan or shallow or deep fry things on your cooking fire, so fried dough was a thing as a treat. Someone mentioned Mutzenmandeln, I guess they are the small and dangerously tasty forefathers of doughnuts.
if you want to food-tour Germany, don’t be afraid of Sundays. Since it is often the best business day for them, all restaurant etc. will be open. Only retail stores are closed! And even bakeries usually are open on Sunday mornings, so you can buy all of their goodness as long as you try so before the afternoon!
But be aware that - apart from fast food - restaurants usually close on Monday.
1:00 Döner Kebab including french fries. "Pomdöner"
Sowas habe ich nur Gyros pita gesehen im letzten Griechenland Urlaub. Die Pommes sind extrem fettich, leider kein vergleich zu dem lecken niederländisch Pommes.
Pommdöner wird des bei uns genannt ^^
Klassiker…❤ oder Burger mit Pommes drauf 🎉
Tea with cream is regional popular too in germany. The tea capitol of germany us near the border to the netherlands on the coast of the northsea. Eastfrisian-tea is an cultural heritage some eastfrisian are drink around 300 liter of Asam tea a year. By Wikipedia in England it is 200 Liter a year in average. Germany have also crazy tea drinkers like the UK.
18:45 I find it totally fascinating that Spezi is apparently such a wild bird...
A few years ago in Croatia, a bartender looked at me like I was out of my mind when I told him to please mix Coke and Fanta, but with a slightly higher proportion of Coke.
Laugencroissant (lye croissant) - a normal croissant, brushed with lye before baking, resulting in a crispier crust that tastes a little salty.
Those Toasties are pre fried and then frozen. You can put them in the toaster frozen. Oh, and it's pork!
and they are so bad you could eat cardboard for cheaper with the same food quality and taste
There's also a chicken version.
and both are crap
Don't call it schnitzel 😊
They are best double toasted 🤤
Tilmann's toasties are a product that is probably mostly bought by like students or young adults who want a fast snack. It is like shredded chicken or something like that which is breaded. Not the most exciting meal but a quick snack
When in Northern Germany get a "Franzbrötchen" rather than a typical cinnamon bun. It's way superior imho and feels a lot lighter as well.
Bitte kein Loblied mehr auf Franzbrötchen. Weiß nicht warum die immer wieder übermäßig erwähnt werden. Sie schmecken gut okay, aber in Deutschland gibt viel mehr und besseres als Frabzbrötchen. Würden sie im Internet nicht dauernd erwähnt werden, wären sie einfach ein Gebäck von vielen in Deutschland. Wie gesagt, es gibt besseres. Falls die Frage, was es noch gibt dann hier die Antwort: Leipziger Lerchen, diverse Varianten von Streuselschnecken, Bienenstock, Mohrenköpfe, Amerikaner, Quarkschnecken, Granatsplitter, usw, usw.
@@TTMHEST es ging hier aber explizit um Zimtgebäck, dh alle erwähnten Teilchen lassen sich nicht vergleichen, und als Ostdeutscher? Sollte man hier vielleicht nicht die Norddeutsche Tradition runtermachen….
Ich komm aus dem Ruhrgebiet, und mein erstes Franzbrötchen auf einem Jobinterview nördlich von Hamburg von einer guten Bäckerei wahr eine Offenbahrung!
@@lynnm6413 hallöchen
Ich habe keine Tradition runter gemacht.
Ja ich bin Ostdeutscher aber auch im Osten gibt es einen Norden und dort gibt es noch vieles andere als Franzbrötchen.
Ich finde sie nicht schlecht und habe das ja geschrieben, dass sie gut sind.
Seit 25 Jahren lebe ich im südlichen Baden-Württemberg und da gibt es sogenannte "süße Stückle" . Frabzbrötchen sind hier solche.
Worum es mir geht ,ist die immer wieder kehrende einseitige Darstellung Deutschlands in Videos.
Es wird ein falsches Bild unseres Landes dargestellt.
Städte in Deutschland sind Köln, München, Hamburg na Berlin noch und das wars. Deutsche Gerichte sind Schweinshaxe, Currywurst, Döner und Brezel. Süße Speisen sind Spaghetti Eis und Frabzbrötchen.
Damit habe tatsächlich ein Problem, denn das ist nicht Deutschland. Deutschland hat auch mehr zu bieten als nur den Schwarzwald und Schloss Neuschwanstein.
Es gibt hier viel mehr war mein Hinweis.
Das es explizit um zimtgebäck ging war für mich nicht deutlich. Selbst dann gäbe es noch andere süße Gebäcke zu erwähnen. Unsere Bäckereien sind selbst im Norden voll mit Vielfalt.
@@TTMHEST das liegt auch daran dass viele Amis eben in die Süddeutschen Gebiete ziehen wenn sie nach Deutschland immigrieren, unter anderem weil allen Ausländern erzählt wird im Osten ist es schwieriger mit Englisch und die Leute sind eher rechts eingestellt…siehe die Wahlen grad!
Die Amis die derzeit content über Deutschland auf Englisch machen leben hauptsächlich in Baden Württemberg und Bayern.
Tja, das eine bedingt das andere
Definitely Franzbrötchen if you want something "cinnamon". If got go to Hamburg you can find Franz and friends at the central station for a huge variety
Flammkuchen is much, much older than pizza. Also, Alsace and Lorraine used to be called Elsaß Lothringen and were originally German.
Fun fact about Flammkuchen, it was actually a medieval way to measure the heat in a bread oven like a "thermometer-bread" earlier made without any toppings, but some ppl thought it would be a good idea to drop something on top, in the region of Alsace it was cream, onions and bacon.
I already tried the Toasties. They were surprisingly good. Sure! It can't compare to a real Schnitzel, but for conveniece food ...it's ok!
It is more an example of German engineering. In this case, food engineers. These things really taste very intensely of (pork) schnitzel, but consist almost entirely of pannade (40%). The meat is heavily grounded ham that is glued together with enzyme glue.
If there is a German word for over-processed industrial food, it is Toaster Schnitzel. You'll never get rid of the taste.
it is a missconception. all you need to enjoy a lovley sunday is open. restaurants, bars, theaters, cinemas, waterparks, etc, etc.and museums are not only open on sundays but they are for free.you just can`t do shopping.
In tourist-oriented towns several shops open for a few hours on Sundays during tourist season.
Not all museums are free on Sundays. It is not a general rule in Germany. Maybe special regions.
Never seen a free museum on a Sunday ever in Germany and I have lived in several places. In Leipzig it is every first Wednesday of the month, but it differs. Most places they are never free. Unfortunately.
You can get what you need to survive on Sundays in Germany. It wasn't always like that! When I was a child in the 70s, you were screwed if you didn't buy your stuff by 1pm on Saturday. That's when the shops closed! That only changed after 1992, when shop opening hours were extended. Today, it's no problem to find a shop with so-called travel supplies at larger train stations where you can buy everything you need. In addition (and these are much more common than larger train stations), there are filling stations, most of which are open 24/7, where you can get food and drinks (including alcohol), as well as cat food and toilet paper (all a little more expensive than usual). When I was a child in the 70s, if a gas station was open on Sundays, you would have gotten at most a light bulb for the car, cigarettes, or a fan belt. Things are completely different today...
But a new winter jacket still has to wait until Monday!
Sausages: The origin often lies in the region in which it was created.

And then there are the inventions by the individual butcher. And all other kinds of sausage beside Bratwurst
@@ralfbauerfeind8236wollt ich auch sagen…Kartoffelwurst 🎉🎉🎉
As a German i have to admit - sweden makes the best kanelbullars (Cinnamonrolls) - viva sverige
Lindt is from Switzerland
Donuts originated from the Netherlands back to 17 Hundreds. Jam filled Donuts originated from.....yes you 've guessed it..... Germany
However, somebody said it was back in 1485.
Bereits im 9. Jahrhundert war in Wien ein Gebäck mit dem Namen „krapfo“ bekannt. In den Städten, vor allem auch in Wien, wurden runde, kugelförmige Krapfen bereits im Mittelalter gewerbsmäßig in öffentlichen Schmalzkochereien hergestellt.
@@Anes_Wica Krapfen sind aber kein Berliner….ohne Marmelade Füllung und haben einen lockeren Teig der länger zieht

I have two favourite sausages produced by our local butcher:
1. Bratapfelleberwurst: A liver sausage with pieces of baked apples - and this on slice of fresh spelt bread from our bakery
2. Kräutergriller: A fried sausage with parsley, marjoram and cranberries inside
The variety of sausages is a product of so many local butchers and restaurants. The real good ones create their own types of sausages.
And you have to separate the different types of sausages. There are some types to cook, some to fry, some types will be smoked, some eaten raw. And sausages can be made of all animals. The common types are made of pork or beef, nowadays also from chicken and turkey. But there are also sausages from horse, lamb, mutton and others.
Then there are different opportunities to eat sausages: You can eat them warm as a part of a bigger meal, e.g. with salad or potatoes. Also warm as a fast food, e.g. with chips and curry sauce or on a roll with mustard. Cold sausages can be eaten as a snack or in slices on bread. And in almost every traditional salad with potatoes or noodles had to be sliced sausages… or in the sausage salad, made of sausages and onions.
So, my recommended Must-Try-Top-10:
1. Rheinischer Sauerbraten (a long-marinaded roast with a sauce of red wine and raisins)
2. Schwäbische Spätzle (a special egg noodle)
3. Backfisch mit Remoulade (the German version of fish and chips)
4. Elsässer Flammkuchen (like in the video)
5. Mettbrötchen mit Zwiebeln (a roll with minced pork and raw onions)
6. Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte (Black Forest cake)
7. Currywurst-Pommes (you had seen it)
8. Schweinshaxe mit Sauerkraut (pork knuckle with sauerkraut)
9. Donauwelle (a cake with cherries, buttercream and chocolate)
10. Leberwurst auf frischem Vollkornbrot (wholemeal bread from the local bakery with traditional liver sausage)
Schupfnudeln
Käsespätzle
Maultaschen (Herrgottsbescheißerle)
Handkäs mit Musik
Rippchen mit Kraut
Wiener Schnitzel vom Kalb (in difference to 'Schnitzel Wiener Art')
...
Regarding the cinamon buns, get a "Franzbrötchen" when you are in Hamburg Germany. They are a specialty and like the best cinamon-roll related you can get in germany. In sweden, you might like to be on bullfest day. It is a holiday, where they celebrate the kanelbulla (cinamon roll) at something called Fika, which is a lovely gathering with friends&family to drink some tea/coffee and have some snacks and cake (Like the german Kaffeeklatsch). Also in sweden they put lots of cardamon into the cinamon rolls and you might get them cheap at in-store services (like at Biltema, a car supply store, with a hot coffee for a dead ass cheap price)
Tea you get most in the north of Germany, in Ostfriesland.
We have a special tea mix called „Ostfriesenmischung“ you drink with a Kluntjes and cream.
The reason why German food is so underrated and not as popular is: It doesn't look as nice as for example French haute cuisine. It looks bland. It's mostly different shades of brown and beige...
But what it might lack in presentation, it makes more than up for in taste. It's just very hearty, down-to earth food
The sweet bun you thought was a cinnamon bun was not. It was a so-called "Rosinenschnecke" (sultana bun) with icing. But it's also very tasty and also comes in varieties that contain apricots or poppy seeds. But there are also cinnamon buns in German bakeries. And of course there are also the English/American cinnamon buns in some places.
You killed me with the fraze "If you´re in my mouth"... 🤣😂🤣😂
Fraze is actually a cool word 🎉
Döner in Germany is different to the ones in the UK. It's a lot less greasy and it looks, smells and tastes different. It's got crazy seasoning and is made from veal instead of lamb. It's served in a crispy Turkish ramazan pidesi flatbread with Turkish salads and sauces and has a kind of cult status. Many Germans think döner kebab was invented in Germany in the 60s, even though it has existed in Turkey for centuries, but that's because the sandwich version they know (called the Dönertasche) was first popularised by a Turkish guy in Berlin named Kadir Nurman, who sadly passed away a few years ago.
When you come to Germany you have to try Mettbrötchen. That's a must! Ask the locals about the best butcher for that.
My favourite Bratwurst (fried/grilled sausage) is the Thüringer Rostbratwurst (Thuringian Bratwurst).
If you're going for some fish stuff, please don't go to Nordsee, that's like going to McDonalds ist you want some steak. You should really go to the coast if you want some good fish. Hamburg, Bremen, any coastal city or village. Also here, ask the locals for the best place to get a good fish dish.
When you get to Ostfriesland, the part in Northern Germany roughly between Wilhelmshaven and the Netherlands, you get really really good tea. Traditionally with rock sugar and cream. I personally like coffee and tea, each has it's time.
Ritter Sport is pretty good chocolate - especially the darker ones.
I prefer the salty stuff over the sweet, but sometimes sweet is nice too.
Feels like I wrote it… thank you ❤❤
Pro tip: if you go to Southern Germany in December, you have less to worry about on Sundays with regard to food - the solution to food cravings on December Sundays are the Christmas Markets! 😁
The variety of food in Germany partly results from the guest workers (Gastarbeiter) who came to Germany for work after WW2 - there was lot of rebuilding to do and they brought their cuisines with them, some opened restaurants or shops providing for the guest workers and the curious/adventurous Germans who enjoyed that variety.
Since then people have immigrated to Germany for various reasons, adding their cuisines to the mix. These days even small towns have Asian/oriental/Turkish/Middle Eastern shops selling fresh produce, ingredients and spices of those cuisines - always worth a visit IMHO.
The best answer to all of your "how" and "why" questions might be "because"
When it comes to Flammekoche, the lady is wrong, it's not only Alsace. Wherever people were poor in the rye eating part of Europe, people ate this cakes. In cookbooks from the 16th or 17th century they are referred to as Salzkuchen/Salzekuchen = harty cakes.
When poor people did bake bread, they did it in a public bakeing house in their village or town. They had to heat it with a lot of wood. So they tried to bake as much as they could at one day. When the bread was almost completely baked, they did quickly a few dry yeast cakes and in the last remaining heat, the Salzkuchen. A small portion of bread dough was rolled out thinner like pizza and covered with some cheap toppings. The men who had worked hard were given a thicker topping of sour cream, egg, cracklings, bacon and onions, the women were given a thinner topping of sour cream, cracklings and onions and the children were given a thin topping of sour cream, dried apples or fresh apple rings, sugar and cinnamon (and sometimes a few cracklings or walnuts) on top on it.
As I said, it is poor people's food. And also occurs, for example, in Hesse, Franconia, Thuringia and Saxony and even in the Baltics.
A fresh pretzel with butter and chives is so yummy. 😁
The first historical recording of deep--fried doughballs was in ancient Rome 1XX BC. In 1485 stuffed and deep-fried doughballs appeared in a german cookbook.
You should try a "Schinken-Käse-Crossaint", it's filled with Ham and Cheese
Schinken-Käse, der Allrounder des guten Geschmacks ^^
We have a lot of great competitors when it comes to great food. But I agree, German food is greatly underrated.
I am Bavarian, grew up in Stuttgart and live close to Hamburg, so I am biased. Having said that, I have found great food all around Germany.
When you have a short amount of time, tell us in beforehand where you're going to. It is not useful to recommend South-German specialties when you visit North-Germany and vice versa -- and that is not neglecting other specific areas. Each area has real good food. Each region has enough good food varieties to entertain you for more than a week.
If you visit one region, you will not spend a lot of time travelling and spending money for transportation. Your experience will not be representative for Germany but for one region only. But subsequent visits will add to your experience.
It also is important to know what time of the year you will come. For different seasons we might recommend a different region of Germany. Regional food specialties are often seasonal.
I think my time in Germany will be split by region, it's the only way I will make you guys happy lol! So I actually did some videos learning about each region. Germany is huge and so culturally different in each region so I would be silly not to make lots of trips. Plus our countries are so close I'm sure the plane tickets wont be too much.
Ostfriesland has a big Tea tradition, very like in England .
"Teilchen" is our word for pastry, other regions (mostly the southern parts) call it "Stückchen". It's the same word and means "a small part of something (good)".
To say which one exactly you want, simply put the fruit, glaze or filling in front of Stückchen/Teilchen.
The Erdbeer-Teilchen, means the one with strawberries, the Pekan-Stückchen, means the one with the pecan nuts etc.
The cinnamon roll in the video is not a cinnamon roll, but a raisin roll.
1500 different Sausages, because most of them are not made of pork! ;-) We put everything in there we can find... :D
Really?? I thought most would be pork sausages. Now I'm even more fascinated. Maybe I can find a video dedicated to your sausages lol
About the toasty schnitzels... it's certainly not "outstanding" meat, but it's also no worse than any other frozen schnitzel or chicken nuggets you buy. for in between, ideal. 2 slices of toast, a toasty, sauce, a slice of cheddar, onions and jalapenos and you have a great schnitzel burger in 3 minutes. Among the 1500 types of sausage... According to the type, the UK also has 1500 types and Germany probably has more than that. Everything is counted here, every regional type, refinement, seasoning. So yes, there are many variations, but the known varieties that every German knows are approximately 10-20
Croissants in the UK are imported, they don't actually come from FR, Switzerland and Austria have had "Gipferl" for longer.
Unfortunately the good small bakeries with hand made bread in Germany die and get replaced by large bakeries that offer industrial bread. 😢
You are most excited about the food when visiting Germany….havent ever heard that from someone visiting England 😂😉
Rude
The jam-filled donut is German, it's what's often called a "Berliner" in many parts of the country. There are also donuts without filling that are traditionally made for Carnival, the days before Lent, made from dough that is fried in oil; however, these also exist in France, where they are called "beignets", also made during the Carnival before Lent, which is one the reasons the last day of Carnival is called "Mardi Gras" or "Fat Tuesday", when they would use up as much oil as possible before the Lent (which is 40 days before Easter, in the Christian tradition). During the Lent, people are only supposed to eat meager foods, no meat, no sweet things, and to refrain from certain activities, e.g. s*x, song and dance, and the like. But the German Carnival festivities are very different from the French ones, otherwise. In Germany, the Carnival season officially begins on November 11th, at 11:11 a.m., and some people already begin to make these donuts then. In The USA, something like 30% of the people have German ancestry, and those ancestors brought their customs with them, so chances are they brought the donut, too.
1:04 Thats a PomDöner (a "FrenFri/Chi Döner") Its a Döner plus Chips minus (most of the) green stuff.... ergo WIN-WIN-WIN
As a German my impression is that tourists buy and love the pretzels more than the Germans do
Ich kaufe fast nie Brezel 😂
The "Parmesan" is white chocolate sprinkles.
Yeah, she also said at the end, it looks like Spaghetti Bolognese! To be precise, i would rather look like Spaghetti Napoli, because Bolognese contains minced meat.
The food to try really depends on where you are going to go. Most of this is sold only in a very narrow region:
Bayern: Weißwurst, Bretzeln, visit a Biergarten and get a "Maß" (1 liter of beer), Sauerkraut (a side dish in autumn/winter, that's why we are "the krauts"), dumblings, in Nuremberg: saussages
Baden-Württemberg: Spätzle (just a side dish), Elsässer Flammkuchen (you had both in this video), Fleischkäse(-brötchen), do a wine tasting, in a bakery ask for Linzer Torte, near Stuttgart: schwäbische Maultaschen
Berlin: Döner(-Kebab) (sometimes sold under it's Greek name "Gyros" with a "little" more garlic than the turkish ones), Currywurst
Hamburg: any kind of fish, especially smoked eal or Rollmops, as an alcoholic drink in a restaurant ask for an "Alsterwasser" (in Bavaria: Radler)
Hessen: apple wine, (especially Frankfurt): Grüne Sauce
Köln: Visit a local pub (but do NOT order water! You will be offered a towl and some soap as well). Ask for a "Kölsch" (beer). You never before got such a tiny glass.; chocolate museum
Niedersachsen (especially the western part/coast): get some tea
Sachsen: (especially in Dresden or any Supermarket) Dresdner Stollen (usually between Oct-Dec)
Schleswig-Holstein: Grünkohl mit Pinkel (in winter only), HotDogs (imported from Denmark), especially at the western coast: Krabbenbrötchen (try to ask locals to show you how to peel shrimps youself); Zwiebelmett(-brötchen) (raw meat)
Thüringen: dumblings, saussages
Seasonal dishes countrywide:
On any Christmas market (December 1st-23rd only): Waffles, Reibekuchen/Kartoffelpuffer, Glühwein (be aware of alcohol!)
During May-July: Aspargus
Countrywide at any time:
- visit a bakery and get some bread and/or pastries such as Berliner (but not in Berlin)
- Döner-Kebab
- try your well known favorites drinks, dishes and fast-food chains and see if they taste familiar.
- Beer (with a lot of local varieties)
- expect the continental breakfast in any hotel to be cold with a lot of bread varieties and cold cuts. Try a Müsli (as a better variant of porridge). Higher ranked hotels may also offer some scrambled egges.
- in each supermarket, go for Haribo sweets, Choclate (such as RitterSport, Milka, Merci, Kinder, Yogurette), beer and also try the growing number of vegan products such as Alpro milk and yoghurt or Rügenwalder Mühle fake meat (be aware: They also have real meat); be aware that most bottles and cans will have a 7-25ct deposit ("Pfand") refund if you return them to any market. Ask the cashier on your first purchase for details.
- some larger supermarkets also offer delicious sweets from our neighbours: Lindt or Toblerone chocolate, Ovomaltine Chocolate drink (Switzerland), Manner Waffles (Austria)
This!
Most shops are closed on Sunday, except bakeries which often open in the morning hours until early afternoon latest.
Restaurants often close (Ruhetag) on Mondays, but that rule does not apply to fast food places.
Tea depends, if you are in the Northwest of Germany you'll find that the Frisians drink more tea per capita than anyone else in the world. They do have their own "tea ceremony" traditions as well.
Döner Kabap came first and was in it's modern from invented by a Turkish immigrant in Berlin and the idea then spread like wildfire, apparently including to Turkey. Dönerpizza is afaik just a byproduct of many Kebap shops starting to add "Italian" Pizza to their menus, so combining the 2 was just a logical step.
Many Kebap shops now also sell Currywurst and Schnitzel (with chicken or turkey meat). But not as good as from more dedicated places / restaurants.
You need travel buddies, so you can share meals and try everything
I think you’re a sweet tooth. 🎉 When you come to good ol’ Germany, try: Käsespätzle, Hackepeter (very unique), Fleischsalat, Rotkraut & Klöße, Sauerkraut & Potatoes & Rostbratwurst (Sausage), Bienenstich, Katjes Joghurt-Gums, Quarktasche, Döner/Durum with Halloumi, Falafel and Garlicsauce!!!, waffles and candy fruit at fairs and Christmas markets, Zimtsterne, Vanillekipferl and Christstollen when its Christmas time. Enjoy and show us in a video what you had pls ❤
Lind is a Swiss company. The chocolate is produced in Germany. The paliman box is also labelled
Made in switzerland, germany and Italy
There are 2 types of pretzel,
1.) The Bavarian pretzel, which is slightly larger and thicker and therefore softer and has no crunchy arms.
2.) The Swabian pretzel, which has a big belly but thin arms and is slightly smaller.
My favorite pretzel, for example, is the Bavarian pretzel, but with sesame instead of the many grains of salt, I like the soft dough of the Bavarian pretzel ^^
Bavarian Bretzel, cut open at the belly, some butter added, maybe some fine cut chive added...
I am Bavarian, however, I prefer the Swabian Brezel more or less because of the crunchy little arms. But both are best as a Butterbreze(l) -- if eaten not accompanying other food.
@@McGhinch Yes, I agree with you, a butter pretzel is an unimaginably delicious snack =)
You know, Sausage is mostly only the "form" the meat is shaped in, so it doesn´t need to be pork.
There are also Sausages made of Beef, Chicken and Fish for example
There are only a few regions in Germany where tea is really more popular than coffee. East Frisia has a very unique tea culture, which I grew up with. A strong black tea is drunk here ("Ostfriesenmischung"), originally in a decorated teacup with rock candy and cream. My grandma used to serve it up to four-five times a day. Most people switched to coffee, including me, because drinking East Frisian tea the "right" way is relatively time-consuming. But I always have East Frisian tea at home and my mother has lived at the other end of Germany for over 10 years and I have to send her East Frisian tea once a year 😂
In Germany there are more bakeries than mc donalds in the world. 😁
Jam doughnuts are probably not a thing invented exclusively in Germany, frying a light dough and shoving some jam in it seems simple enough that I assume most cultures got that idea shortly after the syringe was invented. However, they have been around forever, and are a big part of the carnival culture, which is also why it's hard to get one during the rest of the year.
Depending on where you are the names for those things differ.
Kreppel
Krapfen
Pfannkuchen
...
Any you easily can start a war on any social media German use by saying "the wrong name". 😂
Restaurants are open on sundays.
You should visit the Ritter Sport Store in Berlin, where you can create your own chocolate bar. :D
You pick the type of chocolate (white, dairy or dark) and up to 3 ingredients. They will make it for you and you can pick it up after about 45 minutes. (enough time for sight seeing nearby)
Why visit the store when you can visit the factory in Waldenbuch.
@@McGhinch because I did not know about that. :) Thanks for mentioning it.
Well, when you visit Berlin, Waldenbuch is a long journey away. But, when you plan a trip, it might be an alternative to also see the Black Forest...
By the way Ritter Sport Pfefferminze is my favorite chocolate to eat while enjoying a beer.
Hello, german here. I live in Saarland and we have the Lyoner as our regional saussage. It is the most popular one with us and it can be pure or with either mushrooms or pistachios. So one base and two variants. :-)
German sausage: Weißwurst, Fleischwurst, Knackwurst, Wiener, Bratwurst, Polnische, Krakauer, Käsekrainer, Mettwurst, Bockwurst, and and and. Aufschnittwurst: Lyoner, Bierwurst, Jagdwurst, Paprikawurst, Bierschinken, Championwurst, Weißer Pressack, Blutwurst, Eierwurst, Leberwurst, Gelbwurst and and and.
Flammkuchen is like Pizza without tomatosauce and cheese. Only sourcream and normally thinner and crispy.
It's a different type of dough
it looks like she is pretty far in the south of Germany. The further north of Germany you get, the more popular tea will get. Especially at the coast, tea is almost as popular as in brittain.
Also not every shop is closed on a sunday. Bakeries are usually open on sundays, so you get fresh bread or Brötchen for breakfast. Also in bigger cities you usually have a grocery store close to train stations thats opened on sundays.
Calling a Toasty "Meat" is a stretch. The Texture is similiar to Chicken Nuggets and the breading prevents oil dripping into the Toaster.
It takes a bit more than 1 minute - more like 3-5 min
Ostfriesland, a part of Germany, has nearly the same tea culture as England. They also drink more tea as Brits does.
Mezzo Mix and Spezi are mixed drinks made from Cola and Fanta. In the 80s and early 90s, Cola was, as it is today, a popular drink, even among children. Since the parents didn't want their children to get too much caffeine from cola, they mixed the cola with Fanta. Of course it was still sweet enough for the children and you could even taste both drinks. Of course, it didn't take long until the parents also liked the taste of the mixed drink and so they also ordered the mixed drink in restaurants. And the drink then went from the restaurant menu to the shopping shelves. Mezzo mix and special...
5:09 - This is a classic "Eiterbrille". 👍😄
How to get to 1500 sausage variations? Its simple, there are many meats you can use to make sausage. While pork is the most common one and the basis for most sausages, you can add beef, deer, wild boar, poultry and so on...
Then you can have many different styles of preparation: Boiled, cured, smoked, dried,... and then there are many different shapes.
If you combine all these aspects its simple math.
Exactly! In addition, any kind of meat stuffed into a intestine with fat, speck, spices, salt and a lot of other stuff is a sausage.
Black Pudding = Sausage
Salami = Sausage
Bratwurst = Sausage

Lindt is a swiss chocolate company. They're popular in Germany and Austria, too. Here we have some factory stores called "Outlet stores" in bigger cities. (I've been to their stores in Leipzig, Munich, Salzburg and Bernau, a small town close to the Autobahn 8 going to Austria)
For the sausages - for me the favourite is the "Thüringer Rostbratwurst" - A Bratwurst that's regional in the east german state of Thuringia and best served from a charcoal grill in a bun with mustard.
In Germany bigger cities mostly have stores open on sundays - I know that from their main train stations - for example in Leipzig, Germany, there's a REWE and an ALDI in their main train station open from 1pm to 6pm
How do we have so many varieties? Just like bread! There are different types to prepare a sausage (drying, smoking, pre-cooking, etc.), then there are different meats and combinations of meats to use, and then there are traditional spices and - pretty much every butcher has their own secret recipes and combination of each of these… It is really not wizardry to see how butchers all over Germany, who make their own sausages, would have tradition, regional and their very own sausages that you can’t get the next village over…
9:13 In an absolute emergency, you can actually bake toasty in the toaster, not for 1 minute but for an interval, i.e. about 3 minutes at the highest setting, then it is edible. But I recommend 2 intervals :)
I agree. It is not a Schnitzel for dinner but a snack, like the small microwave Pizza. When toasted well it satisfies the warm meaty crispy taste.
Eeeeeeeewwwww
Puddingpretzel is GOAT
also, we don't have Döner Pizza, like combined as they have in Sweden - what she means is, you often get both at the same place, Döner AND Pizza. But it's not one dish, it's two. What we DO have is PommDöner, which is a Döner with some chips (or pommes) in it. Döner-Pizza is a swedish thing. Exclusively.
that what appears to be a *cinnamon bun' at 6:30 is a pudding/rosinen schnecke. aka a custard raisin pastry! Lindt is Swiss. The real name is Lindt Sprüngli.
I used to drink my tea without milk.,.... sugar and that's it.... Same way I drink my coffee 😂😂😂
Lindt's origin is Switzerland (some say Bern, some say Zürich), but nowardays its a german brand.
Ostfriesland at th north sea coast is actually tea country. They are big tea drinkers there and have their own tea ceremony. The Ostfriesentee is drunken with cream and sugar.
Come by ferry from England or Norway to Cuxhaven our home town. It's a well known resort and spa at the north sea shore and the mouth of the river Elbe. And fun fact grocery shops and supermarkets are allowed to open in tourist season on sundays. And we have some good fish restaurants and shops at the harbor which of course also are open on Sunday 😊. And if😢you are into baked fish try Fischfrikadelle. If you are into beef the most typical is Rinderroulade, Rindergulasch und rheinischer Sauerbraten. If you are into potatoes you have to try once Kartoffelpuffer or Reibekuchen as its called. If you are going to the south, go to Kloster Andechs it's a monastery where monks brew a beer and serve typical Bavarian food. The monastery is on hill top and if you walk there it's a pilgrimage and your soul and your belly is filled same time 😊
About the many types of sausages... I know England conquered the world for spices but then refuse to use them 😉. No it's different meats, meat mixtures, herb and spice mixtures etc
So, the jam filled Donuts are definitely German. The oldest texts describing it are from 1485 in Germany as "Gefüllte Krapfen". Krapfen is still a common name for other fried dough balls, but the jam filled one is called Berliner today. (Don't listen to people that tell you it's called Pfannkuchen, they are w r o n g) The jam donut spread quite a lot especially among the Jewish population of Europe and they still eat it today calling them Sufganiyot in Israel. They eat them during Hannukah. Germans eat them year round, but especially on New Year or during Carneval season. One special thing about German jam filled donut traditions is that they are sometimes served with a surprise. One of the many donuts will be filled with mustard rather than jam and if you are the one that picks it you're considered lucky. Different regions have different meanings for the mustard donut, where I live we do the jam donut eating during New Year and if you get the mustard you'll be the host for next years New Years party. It's a quintessentially German food that spread across Europe.
Yes, there are certainly more than 1,500 types of sausage; the problem is with the translation, to a Brit, sausage means only the traditional fried banger. The German calls it "Wurst", which covers all types of meat in a skin. These include large sausages that you slice and eat cold on bread, like luncheon meats, mortadella or salami. There are sausages that you boil (Bockwurst, Wiener, Frankfurter, Weiss wurst), there are some that you slit open and spread on your bread (Mettwurst). Then there are those that you fry in the pan (Thüringer Bratwurst, Nürnberger). Each region has its own specialities, even individual cities have their own type of sausage.
Sausages in Germany are not only made of pork, they are made of all types of meat or some are vegetarian or vegan...😊
It wasn't a cinnamon bann, but a raisin roll. It's like puff pastry with raisins in it and icing. Yes, Lindt is German.
If we talk about sweet treats from a bakery, you should also try the Franzbrötchen.
the croissant is a Viennese invention in memory of the defeat of the Ottoman Empire and shaped in the form of the "Turkish" crescent
That's correct! 🥐 In Austria, we have a delightful pastry called the Kipferl, which is actually a predecessor to the croissant. There’s a whole array of Kipferl varieties to enjoy-starting with the classic Brioche Kipferl, a soft and slightly sweet treat. Then there's the Butter Kipferl, often topped with a sprinkle of coarse sugar, which you might know as the Wiener Kipferl. For those who love a bit of filling, you can’t miss the Nuss Kipferl with its rich nut filling or the Mohn Kipferl, bursting with poppy seeds. There are even versions with quark filling, like the Topfen Kipferl, or fruity jams for a sweet surprise. Each one is a little taste of Austrian tradition!
I was looking for that comment! 😂
@@Patschenkino Schade! bei uns gibts nur harte Kipferl und die mit Quark zu kaufen.... die Brioche Variante würde ich gerne mal probieren
When it comes to the coke-fanta mix Paulaner Spezi is the best. The original Cola company is not even close.
There is Spezi, then almost the same Mezzo mix from coca cola and Schwip Schwap from Pepsico. In sweden you find it as M.A.C. Black orange.
there are two very different types of Döner Pizza, or Pizza Döner. one is a variety of Döner, the other is a variety of pizza. the classic "Turkish Pizza" is a rolled Döner in a thin tortilla-like wrap that's been topped with minced meat. but you can also get an Italian-style pizza topped with Döner. quite often, one place will sell both, because most Döner shops also make (Italian) pizza, as the vid says
He sees food: Interesting. He sees meat with chips: OH MY GOD! STOP THE VIDEO! I WANT TO HAVE THAT! He's such a Brit.
Not Chips French Fries or Pommes frites of german. yes donuts originally come from Germany just like hamburgers
Currywurst was invented 75 years ago in Germany by FrauHerta Charlotte Heuwer.
Her kind of Currywurst, yes. In 1936 a Netherlander named Peter Hildebrand in Duisburg-Marxloh already sold Bratwurst with ketchup and curry powder, but he couldn't expand his business because of the Nazis.
I never had a pretzel to...and im german...thats just Bavaria food...1 state out of 16...idk why these are so famous
Dude, you should try Mezzo-Mix (Fanta + Coke). I don't really like Coca Cola or Fanta but I love Mezzo-Mix.
We Germans love our mixed drinks. I'm currently enjoying a Schöfferhofer Grapefruit - 50% wheat beer + 50% grapefruit soda. Best drink on a warm summer evening.
Tried Toasty a few times. It's actually pretty good considering what it is.
Never tried them. But they probably aren't ready in literally a minute. That's more like a "wait a minute" minute, right?
Tea is actually a thing in northern germany. Especially with a hint of heavy cream 😋😋
In larger cities you can often shop at the train station on Sundays, usually Lidl and Penny markets! In small towns, however, this option is usually not available. In case of an emergency, there is a gas station, but you can't get everything there 🤷🏼
I'm really looking forward to your videos when you're in Germany 😊
Try "Krakauer" sausage!
And for Milk in Tea try Ostfriesen-Tee, the Ostfriesen have a big tea tradition and drink more tea per head then the british, and they drink it with cream and sugar "kluntjes und wulkje"
For chocolate you should try the swedish chocolate Marabou!
So if you want one of the best soft pretzels you can get, get one (or a few) from Kolb, located throughout Nuremberg (e.g. right across the main station) - of which many a Southern Bavarian has already told me to like them better than their own pretzels.
Nuremberg is Bavaria's second biggest city, if you didn't know, also famous for our very special variant of bratwurst, and our world-famous Christmas market and original, historic variety of gingerbread cookies.
Original Nürnberger Bratwurst/Rostbratwurst are two regulated, slightly different sizes of basically the same local, historic recipe and are regional protected names (much like champagne must be from the French Champagne to be called that). Maybe you've already seen them - they're about a finger and a half long, small bratwursts which for example come as three in a bun.
The special gingerbread cookie recipe, recognizable by the prefix "Elisen-" calls for no regular flour to be used. Instead, the dry parts of the recipe are mainly sugar and ground and chopped nuts - usually hazelnuts and almonds. That makes them soft and juicy and they come in different varieties of shapes, sizes, traditional decoration and either without frosting or - more modern - covered in different types of chocolate. (Not on one and the same cookie, of course.))
On a side note: Funny, btw, that she mentions the French and their croissants. Yeah, they're big there, but not invented by the French. (Wasn't Germans either, though.)
Also, since you asked, Lindt is not German but Swiss. So is Milka, at least originally, though their main production is now in Germany. I've asked some swiss people once and they don't even seem to think of Milka when it comes to chocolate. Lindt might come too mind but neither brand is even considered noteworthy by the "masters of chocolate". (Also, since quite some time now, Milka is owned by Mondelēz, just like brands like Oreo, Daim and Cadbury. Go figure about the quality with that in mind.)
Also, I gladly agree - from the true (and cheaper) German chocolate brands, Ritter Sport probably tops the list. Wanna know the origin? Used to be called Ritter's Sport Schokolade. The inventor came up with the square shape to have a chocolate which could be marketed as energy food, perfect for sporty people because it would fit into your usual sport pants' pockets. Some of the even better but noticeably more expensive German brands are Reber, Heilemann and Riegelein.
On a final note: coffee is just bean soup. Just like tea is vegetable soup. Soup-Salad-Sandwich theory.
the toasty's are okay. only in an emergency^^ and I bet you are salty-type
3:40 Germans don't call it donuts. Fried dough food is usually called Krapfen, Kreppel or some variation of that, and it is (usually, there are exceptions) not in the typical ring form of a donut/doughnut. In Berlin however they started to sell jam-filled "Krapfen" as streetfood called "Pannekuchen" (local for pancakes), because fried in a deep pan at the street. So this type of "Kreppel" got the name "Berliner Pfannkuchen" (in all other regions a Pfannkuchen would be more similar to what you know as pancake). The word "Krapfen" originates from the middle ages, when they were called "krapho", which later became "krapfe" and is related to "Kralle" (claw) - early Krapfen were often formed like a hook, while nowadays most are formed more like a ball.
4:40 Croissants emerged in France during the 19th century. It was probably brought to France originally from Austria as "Kipferl", but in France they started in the late 19th or early 20th century to replace the traditional yeast-based or brioche dough by yeast-leavened laminated dough.
7:55 Flammkuchen originates from the Alsace and the Upper Rhine region. It is similar to pizza, but with a very thin base and sour cream instead of tomato pulp. There are other variations in Southwest Germany called "Dinnede" with a thicker crust (and also elsewhere with other regional names). They were originally made from thinly rolled out bread dough: In former days baking was mostly done with huge wood-fired ovens, which were first filled with wood and charcoal, fired until they were really hot (around 500° C) and then cleared out to make place for the bread. At first they were still too hot for bread, so they were washed out with water, then tested with a handful flour. That process was repeated until the flour not blacked immediately anymore. Then the oven was ready for the first burn, which was the Flammkuchen or Dinnede, baked for not more than about 5 to 10 minutes, then put aside to fill the oven with the real breads, which had to bake for about an hour (depending on the size of the loafs). In the meantime the warm Dinnede could be eaten.
8:40 Toasty is a product by a subsidiary by industrial meat processor Tönnies (which had some scandals in the past regarding working conditions, product quality and especially during Covid). It is sold in some supermarket chains and the PR department of Tönnies praise it to be very successful, but I know no one who would admit to ever have bought it.
10:30 Lindt is Swiss. It is a brand of Lindt & Sprüngli AG in the canton of Zürich, which has a dependance in Aachen, Germany, using the brand "Lindt". Compared to other German chocolates Lindt is rather high-priced, however only of "a bit over average" quality.
11:35 Some German sausages would probably be classified as "deli meat" in other countries. Not all sausages are for frying or boiling (even if for that purpose every region has its own two or three or more recipes for making sausages). And not all are pork, some are also beef or veal or lamb. Some are smoked, some are dried, some contain blood, some minced liver, some bacon or ham or tongue, some are seasoned with seasonal herbs or red and green peppers ...
By the way: Germany has also about 150 different kinds of cheese originating in Germany (some origin-protected by certain regions), and it is by far the biggest producer and exporter of cheese in Europe. (Biggest exporter worldwide before the Netherlands, second biggest producer worldwide after the US.)
16:10 The kind of Döner Kebap we all know and love was introduced by Turkish immigrants in Germany. (The difference to Schisch Kebap is the vertical spit instead of an horizontal one, invented either in Kastamonu or Bursa.) They also introduced Lahmacun, the Turkish or Armenian "pizza" - like the Sikh the Turks claim to be the actual inventors of pizza, and sell nowadays also tomato-based pizza "Italian style" in their fast food joints. (Actually the name "pizza" is related to "pita" or "pide", the flatbread known from Turkey, Greece and the Balkans.)
17:25 Tea and coffee were both banned in 18th century Prussia. But the Frisians (Frisia came by contract of inheritance under Prussian rule then) became master in smuggling tea, and Prussian citizens in outwitting the "Coffee snoopers", a special military unit in Prussia sent out by the customs authorities to smell and detect the places where coffee was cooked. In southern German the coffee fad spread from Vienna first to the cities and medium towns, then into rural regions. During the 19th century coffee (and ersatz coffee) replaced thin beer as main breakfast drink. (Tea became not as popular, except for regions with "soft" (low in lime) water like Frisia or parts of the Black Forest: hard water tends to make tea more bitter, especially if kept warm for some time.)
20:05 Most cafés and restaurants are open on Sunday (if family-owned, they will often instead close on Monday or Tuesday). And bakeries are allowed to open at Sunday morning. All other shops have to observe the constitutional right for a free Sunday for their workers.
22:55 Ritter Sport has currently 20 "standard" varieties, 7 nut-based varieties, 4 single origin chocolates and a bunch of seasonal "specials". They have the copyright for the square packaging.
22:57 Dickmann's were formerly known as "Mohrenköpfe" (moor's head) or "Negerküsse" (negro''s kiss) before the brand name replaced the more offensive general name used by other producers.
my favorit is Schinkengriller with mustard ^^ mmmh or thüringer with sauerkraut and mased potatoes mmmh
I am totally on the salty side. I even like Popcorn and Liquorice with salty flavour.
love the too good to go app. if I use it, I go to my bakery across the street, pay 4€ and got most of the time 4+ bags with buns (10+), sandwiches, maybe one or two breads and cakes or other sweets. overall would be 20€ and more if I have to pay the full prise.
Most bakeries have it to ensure nothing has to be thrown away at the end of the day. Because one rule is; you always have to be able to offer everything. That's why buns are baked in supermarkets at 5 p.m. because they have to be available if someone wants to buy them that late. And yes, supermarkets also use this app and do the classic "30% off" some time before they close.
oh PS: think you like sweet more than salty
