    Thanks again for staying with us! It was a joy to host you and to get to know you both. We hope to see you again soon.

      You may also want to visit Goslar a world heritage listed town in the State of Niedersachsen. And in case you go there you should also not miss out visiting Hann.Muenden, Hornburg, Celle and Lüneburg. All beautiful towns of Niedersachsen well worth visiting.

    Greetings from a Nördlingen Citizen! You covered our small but beautiful city very well and in great detail. I guess you ticked almost all the boxes. If you are into history you could go to the Stadtmuseum and the Stadtmauermuseum (a small museum inside the Stadtmauer) and take a guided tour.

    Franken Bratwurst ( Ground meat, not sludge ) that you can get in Rothenburg and from various butchers in towns around Ansbach region are my favourites by a massive stretch.. ( Jacobs is 1 place to try if you are in Rothenburg ) A lot of restaurants pre-cook them but I thought that was just a time saving thing.. never heard of there being a pre-cooking rule before, you can definetly purchase raw sausages at the butchers and in supermarkets.

    • @NearFromHome
      @NearFromHome  5 місяців тому +1

      Will check the sausages out in Rothenburg. We want to get to Ansbach at some point, so we will also try them there. Franconia has so many sausage opportunities. lol

    How unexpected to be recommended a video from Nördlingen 😍
    My mother used to work there and during kindergarten I got to spend my afternoon at my grandmother's at the outskirts of the city. We lived first at Harburg (with a view of the castle of course 🤩) and then in a small town nearby until I moved to near Weilheim in Upper Bavaria and nowadays in Munich.
    But just in December I had been in Nördlingen as well (tasting the awesome Stabenwürst for the first time in years 🥰) due to a good friend of mine celebrating her wedding on the Harburg.
    Did you have any chance to tast the Kraterspirit gin? It's made from local herbs gathered in the Ries 😊
    Now onto your first video about “Nerle” 😁

    • @NearFromHome
      @NearFromHome  7 місяців тому

      That's very cool! We actually want to visit Harburg. We saw the castle on the train to Nördlingen.
      We also love Weilheim. Check out our video where we went to their festival!

    A journey tip for you, as you like medieval towns and sausages... ;-). Come to visit Landshut, the capital of Lower Bavaria, the old town is very beautiful and atmospheric with Burg Trausnitz on the hill and St. Martin's Church with the highest brick stone tower in the world. And not to forget the typical Landshut sausage specialty: Brunners Würstl with Brunners Senf! Unbelievably soft and fluffy in the inside, and crispy on the outside. But served only with mustard - no ketchup, ok? :-D

    Nice video. Are you sure about the raw sausage? You can buy these raw sausages allover Germany. It is also common to buy the raw sausage mass or filling (I don't know how it is called in English) for further processing. This mass is called "Brät" and it gave the Bratwurst its name. Brät is used for pork pies, or you can put it around a roast and cover it with dough. Also Maultaschen can be stuffed with Brät. Raw fresh minced meat which includes raw Bratwurst must be processed the very same day. This is a regulation as far as I know.
    And please...Ketchup on a German Bratwurst is against the law. In single cases exceptions may be made as long the person is ten years old or younger. 🤣😂🤣

    • @NearFromHome
      @NearFromHome  5 місяців тому

    Great video, great tips!
    I hope I am not shattering any of your perceptions, but nutbutter (Nussbutter) is not made from nuts. It is what you probably call brown butter?
    (excerpt from Wikipedia: When unsalted butter is melted over low heat and allowed to separate into butterfat and milk solids, the latter naturally sink to the bottom of the pan and, if left warming over gentle heat, will begin to cook slightly and turn a deep brown color. As they reach a toasty hazelnut colour, the pan is removed from the heat. The result is called beurre noisette, or brown butter.)

    Great video. (Everyone loves a good food video.)
    OBSERVATIONS:
    1) When you considered saving room in your belly by getting a single sausage sandwich, but wished that you had experienced the 2 sausage one…
    I didn’t understand why you didn’t cut the thing in half and slap the two halves side-by-side to get the double-dog experience.
    2) I love that she is “vegetarian”, but eats eel… which is most definitely NOT a vegetable. 😆
    3) Your accommodations looked amazing.
    4) I was amused by your lack of wine knowledge, but think that taking a class for tasting German & Austrian wines should be on your “Future Videos List”.
    5) I love that you called the cellar by its German name, “keller”, with a hard “c” sound. Rather amusing.
    6) Your German has improved in the last year or so.
    Having worked in tourism in a non-English speaking country, there is a lot about your videos that bring a smile to my face. (And I even tag some for travel ideas.)

    Nah, just kidding. Experience the flavors and textures all you like.
    The Konditorei is a perfect example of the important distinction between Konditorei and Bäckerei. A bakery/Bäckerei creates all kinds of baked goods but focusses mostly on breads, bread rolls, and other more hearty baked items. While a bakery often carries sweets like cakes, etc they mostly don't specialize in them. A Konditorei is more a confectionery item locale. You get cakes, tarts, muffins, and pralinés of all kinds. So mostly sweet dessert type baked goods. Some aren't even truly baked but poured or draped instead of heated in an oven. They are often also serving excellent choices of coffee or tea along with their sweet creations fully in the "Kaffee und Kuchen" tradition.
    Carrots and fat go together like a match made in heaven. Literally, we can't use all of the components of carrots unless we also eat some fat/oil with it. So a good oil based sauce/dressing with carrots is a must.
    Like you said, the Nördlinger Ries is THE most studied meteorite crater in the world. It's been studied since we've known about meteorite craters, and samples of its soil have been sent all over the world for comparison with other such craters. But also because people have been living in the huge crater for soooo long, making the soil underneath it well known to its inhabitants.

      Never noticed that until this moment and we’ve spent hours looking through these clips. Good catch. I’m surprised he didn’t come and say something, we’d have happily deleted the footage. I think in 5 years of filming, people have had a problem like 3 times. Especially when not outside, and when you can begin arguing that specific individuals are becoming more of the focus than the scene itself Germans do tend to get more picky than others. Not that id say that clip was about him :)
