4:05 Yes. This asparagus would turn out green, just like normal. But in Germany the most popular technique is to burry it below an additional layer of soil and prevent the sun from reaching it. So it doesn't turn out green anymore and stays white. It does taste very different. The green one is more bitter and strong, the white one isn't bitter at all and develops its secondary taste much more, which is really delicious.
Roasted Brussel Sprouts with salt and a little oil is great when they have been harvested after the 1st Frost. That is when they start to sweeten. Before that they are bitter, same as when they are over boiled.
i love sparagus but damn the sulfur smelling pee is hard xD also dont worry with "upper and lower" germany because no one is ever using it anway xD its north or south .. end xD
as a german never heared of that vegetarian dish asparagus and my family lived 20 years vegetarian xD you do it with potatoes butter and cooked ham i know people who never eat meat expect the cooked ham for the asparagus. THATS the classic
This is probably because after the war, when people could afford it, many good vegan and vegetarian dishes were spoiled with animal products and the plant-based version was forgotten. Regionality is also a factor. In my region, hollandaise sauce is frowned upon with asparagus. Here it is served with cream sauce and bacon.
I do know this as a side dish, just like normal asparagus + Sauce Hollondaise (+Schnitzel), but without Sauce Hollondaise. Just a different recipe to make asparagus, really. Not neccessarly a vegetarian meal itself. But you can use it as such. Normal asparagus + Sauce Hollondaise would work as well.
I'm not a big fan of Asparagus. I prefer Broccoli or Brussels Sprouts. But I do buy enough for one meal in spring. Just because, like some sort of spring ritual. The green one because I'm too lazy to peel it.
4:58 We usually don't distinguish Germany by upper and lower, but by north and south in our daily live. This is propably only an issue in hardcore historical / geographical discussions. So you don't have to worry.
He is probably thinking about lower saxony. There is also the lower German language. But yes, geographically the north and south distinction is mostly used.
Must admit, the ice cream in German ice cream parlours is some of the best. I've had schweinshaxe in Bavaria and in the North-West of Germany, both delicious but personally I prefer them in the Düsseldorf Brewery taps as it usually comes with red cabbage and potatoes rather than dumplings. Did have one, on yet another beer tour, in a small village brewery just outside of Bamberg that was something special.
It is something very familiar to me in the UK. When I was a child we had caraway cake. Also at Easter there used to be something called a Simnel Cake and that used to have caraway seeds in it. I regularly put caraway seeds in puddings.
Not really. Germany has the second largest percentage of vegetarians in the world, and traditional weekday dishes usually don't contain meat. But if you stick to cheap diners, greasy meat is what you will get...
@@LettersFromAFriend Ähm, doch...! What you haven't understood is that I'm talking about the centuries of experience and the vast number of different recipes and variations. From sheep's eyes (a delicacy during the Thirty Years' War, for example), to simple and cheap student meals like cockchafer soup, which was still eaten a hundred years ago. Klar soweit...?
White asparagus (especially the tips) with sauce hollandaise are the best thing on earth!
I'm with you, that pork and dumpling looks absolutely delicious!
It really is. I often visit Germany, and it's always on my "must have" list.

Raw onions? Asparagus? Meat and fish? Savory stuff instead of dessert? You are my soulfoodmate. :)
Chef rubs garlic on it = me " oh bugger he ruined it". Yes i hate garlic and it hates me right back.
used to take my kids to our local ice cream parlour for spaghetti ice on summer sunday afternoons.......
Love German food, jägerschnitzel mit pommes frites is as good as food gets.

Du kennst Selchfleischknödel ned mit Jus und einem Schmorkraut....

I need to go to Germany I’ve never been. Egypt is the same upper Egypt is the south.
Caraway is a strange flavour to the uninitiated taste buds 😊 freaky flavour

If you are in meat dishes and sausages,Germany is the place to be on this planet...!
