American Parents Eat Turkish Döner + Traditional German Food (What do they think?)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лют 2025
- In this video we are introducing our parents to our personal favorite, and one of Germany’s most popular street foods, the döner. They also try many traditional german foods such as: schnitzle, pork shoulder, white asparagus, bratwurst and sauerkraut. The biggest question, WHAT DO THEY THINK ABOUT THEM?

If you eat a Döner and your Face isn't covered with the ingredients, you don't eat it the right way 😂
Very true lol
In Poland they give you a fork to eat your kebab with, was quite surprised it's not the same in Deutschland.
@@JacoBsinn4 it depends.is it a "regular" Döner/Kebap you don't get a fork (but the places i know would give you one of you ask them). If you buy a döner-box (vegetables, meat and Sauce in a Box without bread but with Fries) you usually get a fork as well.
@@tanjaka7659 yeah, that's pretty obvious to get fork when ordering kebab box, you would have a bit of struggle to eat this without it :D polish version of kebab in bun(looks like this most of the time: i.ytimg.com/vi/QtRDgpInBOM/maxresdefault.jpg ) is impossible to eat like a normal sandwich, so the fork is mandatory, you sometimes get one even when ordering kebab in tortilla or pita bread.
That's so true 😂👍🏻
Honestly, the Knödel would be the first thing gone on my plate...especially when there is gravy! 😀
Same 😁👍
No way to have them without gravy 😂
Is there another way? An Kloß braucht Soß!
i will never get it. I totally understand her father. I'm German, but i HATE Knödel :)
@@madsmex3495 You are the one exception that proves the rule 😀
Hello you 5, we like your videos and especially when you show your parents a piece of our German culture. Your parents are very open-minded and it makes us happy how enthusiastic your parents are about Germany. The empty plates show that it tasted good. You are a great American Family
Your Dad is the most german american i have ever seen. Typical german reaction to good food. Just good, no more words needed.
Haha we love that!! Now that you say it, he does seem like it! :)
Love your parents! My son told me about Döners and when I got to go to Germany I tried and loved them. He'd had me make them for a class project (BEFORE I had them). That was interesting ... Not really easy to do in central Texas! But he used brisket (his favorite food), pita bread and I had to make the sauce out of yogurt and dill... Try making something you've never tasted and his description is scetchy. 😂😂. German teacher gave him an A and said it was a decent imitation.... Keep on filming! Loving the adventures ❤️
Love the fact that Willa is pronouncing Bratwurst (Wurst instead of Wörst) nearly the german way. Does she speak german at Kita?
That was so funny to me Risa saying Bratwurst the American way and Willa responding like a true German, so CUTE
Klar redet sie deutsch in der Kita, die sind da im tiefsten Süden...als würde es da nen internationalen Kindergarten oder ähnliches geben. Haha
@@420.lululu3 Sie ist möglicherweise als einziges fremdsprachiges Kind in der Kita. Und sie ist noch nicht lange dort. Gut möglich also, dass sie das Sprechen einer fremden Sprache verweigert.
@@420.lululu3 Naja, der tiefe Süden ist ja schon International...besonders da Bayern ja schon ausland ist.
@@macsprotte1436 Einziges fremdsprachiges Kind in der Kita? Haha, da war wohl jemand 40 Jahre lang in keiner deutschen Kita mehr...
Nice videos! Super sweet family! Thank you and greetings from Bremen.
a döner sandwich is the best streetfood ever. incredibly tasty, not too unhealthy and cheap. I'm very happy that there's an excellent Turkish bakery / döner place at walking distance from my home.
dont call it sandwich, even it is seems to be a sandwich, but its not. Its a Döner.
@@serdalito6612 dont tell me what to do.
@@marks.6480 dont call it Sandwich
@@serdalito6612 you are a sandwich
What lovely family and video 😍 I'm Scottish, but I love Germany and it's people. Best wishes from Edinburgh 🇬🇧
Edinburgh- a city we hope to visit!! 😊 thanks for your kind words!
actually there has to be a non-alcoholic drink in any restaurant, that is cheaper than beer. This is BY LAW!
Typically this is water. But most restaurants have several different types of water (different brands) - and if you don't specify, they obviously give you the expensive type...
Actually 1.5 liters would be the equivalent of 5 mid-size (300ml) beers and even without knowing the menu I'd go out on a limb here and say those 5 beers WOULD COST MORE THAN 12€ 🤦♂
@@Lexor888 which would proof my point, that there is a non-alcoholic drink cheaper than the cheapest alcoholic drink...
Also, there should be the option to just get a glass of water, not just a whole bottle.
@@m.h.6470 The way you said it insinuated that there wasn't a cheaper option.
And can you throw me a timestamp where they say they could ONLY order full bottles?
@@Lexor888 I won't rewatch the entire video for a point... If I remember correctly, they said, they ordered water and just got the bottles. They didn't explicitly say, there wasn't an option to buy it "per glass". My original point was made, because he stated in the video, that water was expensive and that beer was cheap (or at least it very much sounded like that).
@@m.h.6470 i guess they are used to tap-water and free refills in the US
I like your dad. He seems to be a real kind, down to earth man. 👍🏻
Thanks! He is! 😊
sorry for the short comment , but I just wanted to say that your parents seems really cool and likable.
I always like to see parents in youtube vids ... so nice to see "the whole family". *_*
The strength of that mustard comes from the mustard seeds alone. What makes you think of horseradish is the fact, that radish varieties naturally contain mustard oils, which is, what makes them hot and tickles the nose😄
Willa is so talkative 😁🤭👍🏻
She is! We love it!
i like that your parents dig the german food too. not gonna say that you cant get great food anywhere else but bavaria is a good spot for a good representation of traditional german food
I have to et up early tomorrow and I cant stop binging these videos lmao
Haha we’ve been there before!! 😂😂 so happy you’re loving them!
@@OurStorytoTell hahah definitely! :):) keep up the great work! 😊
The vegan version of Döner is Falafel, and it’s sooooo good!! I‘m not vegan, not even a vegetarian, but I absolutely love Falafel 😋
I first read “Parents eat Döner: traditional German food" and was fully prepared to German-correct you in the comments haha 😅
Your parents seem very nice, but Willa stole the show!
Also, the intro is fine imo. Not too long, not too short.
Döner is traditional German food
Willa always does when it comes to food. :-)
well... Döner was invented in Germany, so actually it *is* "German food". As for the 'traditional' part - when does a dish become traditional? 20 years, 50 years, 100 years? :-)
@D K You might want to actually read the sources you cite :-)
"The döner kebap as it was first served in Berlin contained only meat, onions and a bit of salad.[50] Over time, it developed into a dish with abundant salad, vegetables, and a selection of sauces to choose from. Even orders placed in the Turkish language in Berlin will ask for the hot sauce using the German word "scharf", flagging the hybrid nature of the Berlin style of döner kebap."
So even your own source says that German Döner is a subsequent development from the Turkish original.
@D K The video and I are talking about German style Döner, served in a Sandwich.
so cute, hearing her repeat back what they are going to eat and hearing her pronounce bratwurst in the correct German way....
In regards to the white asparagus, you have to cut it at an angle, if you cut it across straight it will pull apart :)
A) Yeah thank you for that intro (and the whole vid actually), definately helps me putting off some weight^^
and B) Oh cmon I wasn't prepared to be hit with the cuteness that is your daughter this morning! I mean I definately could've expected that haha
For the asparagus (mouth watering here ;): I guess everyone doesn't do it the same way. But as for me: Cut off the woody end, peel it well, cook it in salted water. When you take it out with a fork ( put underneath the asparagus like with a spoon) it should bend downward a little, then it should be nice and tender and ususally a knife would cut through it almost like through butter. When your father picked it up it was all stiff and he needed to make a cutting effort, I personally wouldn't like it like that. Don't be discouraged to give it another try though :) Have a nice weekend.
Add a little piece of a lemon and a tiny bit of sugar to the salted water. Much better than salt only.
Yes, a bit of butter and a bit of sugar in the water., in addition to the salt ;)
Yes, the asparagus wasn't cooked enough. You can hear it when he cuts it in half.
@@Psi-Storm y are 100% right, if y cut its so hard sounds its not well done
Nice traditional selection. Just to mention: there are a lot of traditional vegetarian dishes in Germany as well. When I was a child (in the 70s) we did only have meat once a week 😃
Vegetarian? So you eating away the foods from the cows,bunnies ,goats? Shame on you!
@@dfguko lol that was so pathetically and badly translated word by word from German
"April, April macht was er will" is a common German saying.
I won't translate it as a challenge. ;)
Try Semmelknödel they are made from bread, not potatoes.
*Semmelnknödeln
@ eigentlich nicht
"April does what it wants"
very similiar to Polish saying "Kwiecień - plecień, bo przeplata trochę zimy trochę lata"
It'd be "April is a plaiter, because he plaits a little of winter with a little of summer"
Love all of your videos. Willa always brightens the day. So cute to hear her talking.
0:50 Awww, I'd like that as an alarm clock in the mornings, to make me wake up smiling.
There are 2 different types of schnitzel. In Germany they are mostly made from pork. Made from veal in Austria. And much taller and thinner. Wiener-Schnitzel
And I have too admit that the Austrian type tastes better to me than the German one. On the other hand, we have Jägerschitzel with its creamy mushroom sauce …
@@Astrofrank Jägerschnitzel mit Spätzle, I really like that !
@@brigittelacour5055 Works also well with Pommes frittes.
Pork Schnitzel must be called "Schnitzel Wiener Art" or "Schweineschnitzel" . "Wiener Schnitzel" must made from vault .Thats a law in Germany.
I like the honesty of your parents :) As a German, it is not my taste either, except the bratwurst and schnitzel 😄 Hope they have a wonderfull time here in Germany
Most of that dishes are Bavarian food. You should try Rinderroulade mit Rotkohl und Kartoffeln. That is traditional German food in the whole country
Shout out to RIsa's parents and thanks for an honest tasting review! Asparagus is rather tricky to prepare because of its general texture. I think it needs to be cooked really well to make it as soft as possible without ruining it. I never do it myself but leave it to a good restaurant :)
Pro tip about the asparagus: try asparagus cream soup. Much tastier than the standard one and no trouble cutting it. 😅
That water price is absurd for me, too! Wow... last time I saw water that pricey, I was visiting Malta and they had to filter and clean the sea water or import the freshwater, because Malta does not have any freshwater springs (I know of), so the high price is understandable. Wow. Respect to your parents, I would freak out in front of a camera. They really are good sports. Glad you all like the food here. Those types of Knödel aren't my favourite either. I prefer the Semmelknödel, very different texture. Hope you have a great time even though April has been kind of crazy :D
I have to praise your parents for trying out all the foods. And yes, drinking water in a restaurant in Europe can not be compared to the US. Then again, a waiter/waitress overhere gets paid better than in the US.
Thanks for the video. Your parents are not video shy at all, that's great. After the experience of the delicious German 🍖 lunch, still missing to try 🍰 cake and 🍪 pastries. 😁😁
That is a Kartoffelknödel olso called Kartoffel Kloẞ in more northeern parts of Germany
Maybe you prefer Semmelknödel or Serviettenknödel that are made with bread crumbs. insread of potato
Thank you for this video. I laughed so much when you took your parents to not taste just schnizel, or wurst, or pork but EVERYTHING at the same time... I don't know how they eat at home, but I'm sure its not a table with 8 types if MEAT... your poor mum was struggeling... I'm sorry, but that was funny. Again, your video's are so good and entertaining, and you DO have the cutest daughter in the world.
Great video thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
That's part of the travel experience, trying different foods. Have you guys had any good Gulasch or Sauerbraten yet? My home region is known for its Schwenkbraten and Flammkuchen. So delicious. Ps. My husband's comment was, "I'm not drinking the water, when I travel to Germany" because he's there for the beer. ;)
Bei den Schwaben: Spätzle and Maultaschen (Stuttgart)
When having pork shoulder or similar, we eat the crispy part and the meat mainly. We would leave parts of the fat on the plate. That is very common as we tend to not overeat on animal fat nowadays.
your parents are so cute! love the videos with them
Great video. Your parents have had a Blast seeing/ and eat new foods from different places .
Lovley to get to know them ,😊 can imagine the thought at first being filmed ,can be overwhelming
But they done so well 😜.
😂😂wilia tummy Hungary Brilliant
Have a Great week 🥰
Yes they are wonderful sports! 😊 Thanks for the kind comment!
great food...and your daughter is soooo cute...I rly had to smile^^
Thats in Bayreuth! Sat on exact your spot in the restaurant. Very beautiful city. You have to visit the historical places like the "Markgräfliche Opernhaus" and the "Eremitage" :)
Oh my gosh too funny it was the same spot! Thanks for the tips! We have explored the Eremitage and it is amazing!
u guys deserve so much more subscribers...
We appreciate that! We hope someday, but are very grateful for the community we have!! 🫶
I love Döner! Its such a nice combination of bread, meat, salad, feta cheese(optional) and different sauces. And I'm happy we have this in Germany, seeing we don't have Taco Bell or any other source of good tacos/mexican food(at least in the city I live, and it is a large city). So at least I can get Döner or Lahmacun which is a little bit similar and also delicious.
Peel the Aspargus from the head to the bottom. You can get a special asparguspeeler at a good "Haushaltswarengeschäft" like WMF or other. After peeling you cut at the bottom 1 cm off.
Than you take them in hotboilet water for 10 minutes (you can do it with peeld frozen aspargus from the grocery store too). when you boil thr water do somesalt and sugar in the water. The sugar make the aspargus not so bitter. If there anything left of the aspargus, make a salat : take the aspargus cut it in 5 cm pieces, get strawberrys cut it to a half get some angula, put oil and vinegar and some sugar, mix it and the salat is ready. Very good to grilled Bratwurst Steak aso........
I only would eat knödels with gravy and let the meat be the meat even if I like bread dumplings more than I like potatoe dumplings. I would order it like this, too. The quality of the gravy is important, too. Dumplings without gravy - not really...
And asparagus is a treat I wait for every year. When you talk about traditional German food I would say it is more the German food for sundays - not Germany's everyday food even if some articles like Bratwurst might be more a part of an everyday cuisine but then often with potatoes and vegetables (that aren't Sauerkraut).
Water in restaurants... In Germany the restaurant culture is quite different to that in the States. People can sit there for hours - that is why the meals are comparably cheap but drinks are more expensive. You probably just eat once if stay 20 minutes or 4 hours - but will order drinks more often. That is why free refills aren't a thing in Germany, too. The purchasing prices for soda, water in bottles or tap water are between 0 and 10 cents a glass - all get sold for about the same price and if you look on the purchasing price you understand why. Yes, you can have tap water at home for nearly free - but you pay with your water for service, rent, free toilets etc. and there it just does not matter if of that 3 EUR per glass (just an example) the purchasing price was 10 Cents or 0 Cents...
That water argument - like the free toilet argument - is something that you read from every American. It is just a question of the calculation. I usually do not pay for toilets - just when I am on a journey. Why should it be up to the tax payer to pay for the toilets that mainly travellers use? I get a service - I pay for it.
Love for the parents 🥰
Yeah spargel is pretty much exactly the texture u described, just need a good sawing knife for it.
Btw i dont like knödel very much either, it has to be soaked with sauce, then it gets really good.
In Mönchengladbach we only had snow on the night of April 1st 🤪
The trick to perfect asparagus is to steam it rather than cooking it. There are special cooking pots with an insert available so that the asparagus is standing up, feet in the water, heads in the steam. Use only very little water and add a little lemon, salt and sugar to it.
Sweet child ... and so smart. You should be proud (and i think you are)!!!
We definitely are! 😊
It’s so funny that we all love taste we learned to be delicious when we were kids. it’s probably not the daily regular food anymore since people don’t work in the woods anymore and need lots of fat and carbs. But from time to time those dishes make me feel like home. Hahaha!
On the fatter parts of the pork knuckle or shoulder, they are the reason why you eat it with sauerkraut and mustard. The mustartd keeps the fat parts from overpowering you mouth, and the sauerkraut (which normaly also contains a little caraway seeds) aid in digesting it better.
On the mustard, I ve seen that you put quite a lot on the parts where you tried it, and I dont know if thats just more common in the us to overuse condements, but if you are a little more subtle with it it might fit your tastes a little better. My advise would be, to just dip the tip of your knife in it, then cut the bratwurst and dont add anymore. Hope this helps and I wish you guys lots of more good food memories.
I especially like your Videos. Thank you for sharing your impressions here in Germany. 😃
Your homemade Schnitzel looks great. Just want to take a bite. ;-)
Love your videos and both of you are very good with commentary. Mom & Dad need more practice. Willa is a ROCK STAR!
Döner is a traditional Turkish Pita sandwich. During the reconstruction in Germany after WW2 many immigrants from Turkey moved there for work opportunities.
After reconstruction, not during. The first Turkish immigrants arrived in Germany in 1961. Reconstruction was completed by 1960 at the latest.
If the asparagus comes apart when cutting it was probably cooked too much. It shouldn't be too hard, but too soft isn't good either. This is also depends on the thickness. If you have ones with varying thickness, the thinner ones can end up on the soft side. Moreover, like meat they keep cooking from the inside when you take them out of the water. So taking them them out too late can make them too soft later. Sometimes using a different knife helps too.
That's the reason why you don't buy thick asparagus. ☝🏻😁
@@AlexandraVioletta
It depends. Yes, it tends to more wooden, so there is a reason to avoid it when possible. But I had some that were perfectly fine.
Did I miss the Döner? Props to your parents. Born to be youtubers :)
The Döner is the filled bread thingy in the beginning. At 2:30
Not sure if I noticed too late or if it only started by then but that look from the background at 06:56 killed me.
All that food looked delicious, even the Knödel. So reminiscent of when I lived in Germany. But it took some doing to get your parents to wax enthusiastic!
It's interesting how doner kebabs,etc. have been embraced in the last few decades as local cuisine in Central Europe! But then again, can anyone imagine German cuisine without potatoes ? Yet potatoes were completely unknown in that part of Europe until the 1600's! Yes, Marissa's parents have been GREAT sports to have been participating in these ventures on camera but I guess this shows how much they love and want to be with the younger generations! I'm not surprised to find out that Tanner was a bit camera-shy at first but he definitely has learned to share his insights and grow his skills re filming,etc. It will be interesting to see if Willa develops an interest in vlogging beyond being a subject. Thanks for all that! Take care!
Tomatoes have been imported from the americas aswell, yet many italian dishes would be very weird without tomato.
If Döner Kebab is too hard to eat, try a Dürüm, Lahmacun or Yufka.
Essentially it's kebab in a wrap with tinfoil around to keep you clean, sometimes you can even find it without tinfoil.
Dürüm is essentially the name of the wrap itself, while Yufka and Lahmacun refer to the whole product,
but whether or not you can order Dürüm, Lahmacun or Yufka seperately and what you get veries from Döner to Döner.
If you feel like you're eating a lot of meat in Germany, most Döner places will also serve you Falafel as Döner or Yufka,
many also offer Halloumi (which is a form of grilled chees that's screechy on the teeth and has rubbery texture, great fun) or even Seitan, which is made from gluten.
Also, it's madness how overpriced water is, especially considering tap water is free, but then the traditional German Wirtshäuser are usually overpriced.
They often serve processed foods with cheap meet for 14€ a plate whilst you get better quality food at any Döner for almost a third of the price.
It's honestly repelling.
also mal alle deutsche wirte über einen kamm scheren und den döner so hoch loben wer kenns nicht, in meiner city gibt es nur noch dreh spieße nach dönerart ,
also hackfleisch weil es günstig sein muss da die konkurrenz so groß ist .google mal nach gammelfleisch bzw döner skandal soviel zum thema qualität.
bei meinen dönermann des vertrauens schmecken pizza,pasta und döner klasse die salate 1A, nur schnitzel kannst da nicht holen, sehen aus wie fertigschnitzel von lidl
und schmecken auch so, da geh ich lieber zu ner guten pommesbude und bekomme schnitzel wo ich weiß das sie beim metzger gekauft werden zum gleichen preis.
zur qualität vom fleisch, die meisten deutsche holen ihr fleisch beim metzger , einige sicherlich in der metro, die meisten döner drehspieße werden in polen hergestellt zum preis ab 4€ pro kilo, was daran noch qualität ist sei mal dahin gestellt. sicherlich gibt es noch den einen oder anderen dönerladen die alles selber herstellen aber die kannste an einer hand abzählen. ob türken ,italiener ,griechen, deutsche gastwirte, restaurant usw, die meisten machen einen guten job da ist keine nation besser wie die andere.
@@McMicday Mhh ich weiß ja nicht, das Dönerfleisch ist sicher nicht ideal, aber ich hab auch seit 3 Jahren keinen Döner mit Fleisch mehr gegessen, und ich hab halt vor nem Jahr paar Dokus darüber gesehen, wie eig in keiner Küche mehr richtig gekocht wird.
Es gibt halt einfach ne Gastronomie-Linie von Knorr Produkten, wo die ganzen Gemüse und Soßen alle vorgekocht angekarrt und einfach nur noch aufgewärmt werden, und es mag beim Fleisch Ausnahmen geben, aber das Schnitzel was einem für 14€ oft angeboten ist nicht besser als das Fleisch vom Dönerspieß.
Ist eine Schande, wenn du mich fragst.
D.h. du gehst in ein Wirtshaus, zahlst 13,90€ für's Schnitzel, 4,90€ für's Wasser und 2,20 € Trinkgeld und kriegst das selbe Discounter Essen aufgewärmt, das du bei Lidl kaufen kannt.. zumindest fast.
Im Gegensatz dazu ist wenigstensdas Gemüse im Dönerladen einigermaßen frisch, und bei vielen gibt's sogar frisch gebackene Brote direkt aus dem Pizzaofen, deswegen hab ich gesagt, dass die am Ende qualitativ besser sind. Nicht wegen dem Fleisch, da hast du recht.
I love your parents for being so honest. And I agree with them just by looking at the food you had so far (except for the Döner where I can't tell). It was average at best (sorry 😂). Unfortunately more and more convenience products are used in restaurants. For instance this sauce hollondaise looked very industry made. There's no point in asking them, by the way, because they will always tell you that OF COURSE everything has been freshly made on site. You have to ask other people or read restaurant reviews to find the few good restaurants left.
thats a lie. i work as a chef for over 20 years now and i always told my guests the truth. the simple fact that sugar is added everywhere,most people doesnt even know how a sc.hollandaise would taste like. and they also wont pay for the craftmanship to build one. geiz ist geil. at least i used the best one on the market so far by "lukull". it isnt cheap at all and nearly perfect. i have never ever experienced that the waiters or the menu told such a blatant lie of "selfmade" hollandaise in my entire years of working in restaurants.
but i have to agree that the dished dont look more than average to me too. and restaurant reviews? where? on google? the place where "wannabe-critics" write shit about stuff they´ve seen on TV and now they think they are "restaurantkritiker"? LMAO
Great! Hope you enjoyed my hometown Bayreuth :)
dear you are in bavaria usually if its a normal restaurant you can ask for sweet moustard aka süsser senf :) its a bavarian spedciallity too and goes great with sausages
In Vienna, the tap water comes from the mountains of the Austrian Alps.
Therefore, the Viennese value their water more than water that comes from sewage treatment plants.
For this reason, the Viennese are willing to pay money for crystal-clear mountain water.🤤
Usually you don't pay for tap water in Vienna (if it's not your only order), unless you're in a very touristy restaurant. At worst there is a small fee for cleaning the glass...
Its quite funny that at 6:01 , the guy in the black is hoodie is one of the german biggest yt channels inscope21
Nooo haha too funny 😂
Willow wird hiermit in Franken offiziell eingebürgert, wer als erstes die Kruste vom Schäufele will der ist Franke :)

enjoy guys
Thumbs up for the parents
Try „Eisbein“ with sauerkraut and in the eastern Thuringia area there’s a dish „Mutzbraten“ try that with sauerkraut and mustard too.
In Germany we say: Der April macht, was er will. Where I live, in the winter it doesn't snows, but in April we have maybe 10 cm snow.
the problem with the knöddel is, they should be made self made. When they are self made...a lot of restaurants do not do it themselves...they are way better.
Props to the parents!
Yes, pork knuckle and asparagus (only in season) are specialties, but lots of people don’t like asparagus at first, some people never like it, like me, but it seems to me to be a pretty “grown up” thing. It has a rather acquired taste but it’s supposed to be really healthy. (and it’s also famous for another thing…)
The pork knuckle is very fatty and I guess for most people that eat it, it’s a ‘once or twice a year’ thing.
Schnitzel and Bratwurst are more on the “normal” side of things, though they’re not that light either. But if you look around… for some time… you’ll even find some lighter and healthier things here, like some steamed vegetables or boiled meats.
The Käsespätzle taste depends a lot on the cheese that’s used (obviously) and although I live in Käsespätze country I always get very excited when ordering it somewhere, because 3/5 times I’ll be disappointed, 1/5 it’s ok and 1/5 times it’ll be excellent. I’m always on the hunt for good Käsespätzle ^^
Interesting fact: The dough is very different from noodles, more like gnocchi but it’s different still. There is a unique process involved in making the right Spätzle for Käsespätzle.
You seem like pretty cool people 😊
Love the videos ❤
Greetings from Austria 🇦🇹
Risa I really appreciate your parents' opinion---so glad they don't think that everything is super good.
I always love the little intros you do. It’s so clever to let everyone know who you are and what amazing things you got to do already :)
Lovely to see, that that little child has a better fork posture, than the adults😂
Haha she seriously does! 🤣😂 German kita helped make that happen!
the pork .. she know whats best :)
Yes she does!
Schweinsstelze is one of my favorite Austrian/German dishes. The best I've ever had was at Schweizerhaus in Wien (Vienna).
We hope to make it to Vienna sometime so thanks for the suggestion! :)
Good work
@10:30 usually you can get tap water for free (or a small fee for a clean glass) - in most parts of Europe it's just as good as bottled water (and in some places actually better, e.g. here in Vienna our tap water comes straight from the Alps by aqueduct).
Dont try to watch this video when you're kinda hungry already. Now I gotta get some food before I continue.
I personally never had a good potatoe ball thing in a restaurant. Its so easy to make at home with fresh ingridients.
Yes, water and non-alcoholic drinks are more expensive here but I would guess that for the food, drink and mandatory tips you would have paid more for the same in the US.
For shure!
The water served for free in the US tastes, unfortunately, terrible. Wherever I went so far, it was full of chlorine. Most US citizens don’t taste that anymore because they are used to it, but it’s true. Some contain more chlorine, some less and that’s because it’s bad tap water. Even sometimes soft drinks taste awful, because the ice cubes are made of bad tap water. Happened two weeks ago in Washington DC.
Schäufele simply the best
I adore you guys to bits (-: and would love to get to know you at some point and collaborate on something food related...
Döner isn't easy to eat and usually ends in a mess. That's why I always have a Dürüm Döner. It's a wrap-like flatbread with the same toppings on it, rolled up and wrapped in aluminum foil. This will keep your clothes clean(er)....
In fact, white Asparagus is the vegetable with the most space on outdoor fields. And we imported a lot from all over Europe. In Winter from South America. In the time between we import conserves in glas or cans, mostly from China. Congratulation, you find a Restaurant with real good looking meals.
1 year, max 2 and Willa can give you German Lessons all the Way:) . Yes Table Water is an big Spender on the Bills, agreed. On the other Hand, i dunno if you already aware of, but most Restaurants calculate the Meals really tight, cutting of zero to only minimal Marge of that, Money is made with the Drinking Stuff. The Pork Shoulder, or as we Call it "Schäufele" in middlefrängisch:D, if it falls of from the Bone at first Touch like yours, then its good !:)
Stay Healthy!
I know I've seen your video of the christmas market in Bayreuth before, but it's still freaky seeing the city in a Video :P I was at Oskar's like two weeks ago :D
We have a bit of a saying/meme in Bayreuth. "The city is only famous/relevant once a year" (referring to the period of time, when the "Festspiele" are happening).... I guess that's no longer true.
you can get tab water for free usually but not bottled one if i remember correctly we still have a law in place that you can ring everywhere and ask for a glass of tab water and people have to give you one by law
Asparagus Is usually stringy on the bottom and more tender on the tip. But there is an invisible line separating the two and if you just bend it a bit, it will usually snap in two right where the stringy parts end. If you want to you can just break them and cook the tip-side only. Wasteful but better experience.
We usually cook them whole because imho throwing away food because it's a bit stringy doesn't feel right.
9:50 thats overcooked or you need a sharp knife to cut it sideways into pieces. and also the asparagus can be quite skittish with their taste. i dont like them bitter like your husband mentioned but they arent always bitter. hopefully you tried them with ham and sauce hollandaise as well, if not try that
for the best asparagus in Germany you have to come to north germany, the area around Nienburg, during the next few weeks
I completely agree with your mum on the pork shoulder... Just can't eat that! However asparagus is my favorite! Hope you tried the Knödel in Wroclaw. They are much better than the ones you get in Bavaria. Have a great Sunday ☀
