- During our visit to Luxembourg, we just scratched the surface when it comes to food. We passed up on some of the more flashy and popular foods to eat in the area, and tried to find some foods that are more traditional to the area. Were we expecting to eat a cold potato pancake, meat salad, and a donut?.... Definitely not! But the experience still memorable and fun to try some quick bites while we explored one of the world's most wealthy countries.

Our Story to Tell
‘Judd mat Gaardebounen’ would’ve been *perfect* in this cold, rainy weather.
It’s a savory dish of smoked pork collar and broad beans with some sort of gravy (& potatoes sometimes). Usually served with a Luxembourgish white wine or beer. Very comforting :)
Great video :D
The carnival in Luxembourg, the Fuesent, naturally includes Verwurrelter. The name of the dough knots sprinkled with icing sugar derives from the thoughts supposedly confused by the carnival. In Germany they are called Krapfen or Berliner and are usually filled with jam. Willa is such a cute girl and she is always smiling!
So more or less it's a churned up / twisted doughnut ;-)
The Verwurrelter sounds like a "Spritzring", a choux pastry, fried in oil and then sprinkled wirh sugar icing.
@@marie9814 Sounds like it, but isn't. It's more of a yeast dough, similar to a "Berliner"... only knotted. 😉
faschingskrapfen :)
We have enjoyed some ourselves with week mmmm!
Love your food adventures! Willa is such a doll ❤️. Stay safe and keep the stories coming 😃
There are 170 different nationalities living in Luxembourg so you have several different eating habits. The portuguese are 25% of the population so you have everything that the portuguese cuisine can offer and treats like Pasteis de Nata
Ah man we should have looked for them because we love those things! 😋😋
"Merci daat der heist klengt Ländchen besicht huet an een Video doriwwer gemacht hudd" That was Luxembourgish for: thanks for visiting our little country and that you made a video of it. Side note: at the castle of Bourglinster, you can find the current best vegan restaurant in the world :) The Gromperekichelcher is typically served with Apple Compote at fair events or the christmas market :)
Thank you for that information. I've been on the lookout for vegan places in Lux. :)
@@kasturipatra9128 Try Beet in the city then. I'm not vegan, but still I was fairly impressed with what variety they have
@@cyrildewaha , thanks so much. I’d heard of Beet. I don’t remember if I visited it though. I’m back in India now.
I love watching your videos with all the love you have for each other and for traveling. Makes me happy!
Aww thanks! Such a kind compliment!
Great food video. Thanks for sharing
Guys ist amazing enjoy so much your Videos and the cute willa
Hey thanks so much! :)
Oh yes Willa sure is a Great little Traveler ,loves. her food tasting too 😜🥰
Great video 🥰
She definitely does! ❤️ Thanks!
4:58 looks so yummy. Fun Fact: in some German regions they call it "Nonnenfürzchen" which translate to "nuns fart." Thanks for you another great video!
Haha that is a fun fact! Thanks for sharing & watching :)
They are called the same in Luxembourg "Nonnefäscht" :-)
7:27 I am happy, Willa got a bite, too! 😊
:) us too!
Just found your channel! We are sitting here in France, headed to Luxembourg tomorrow! We were looking at videos to see what the good Lux foods are ... so thanks for this! Your family is adorable, and I love that you are having an international adventure! I'm subbing to y'all both to support another travel vlogger and also cuz you're from Utah! haha
We are an old couple who live in Texas and England. We have been in the UK and Europe for over 4 months and head back to Texas next week.
Looking forward to eating in Luxembourg tomorrow! Cheers! Dara and Ian
The Utah-potato-salad is pretty much the same as my mother made it (she is from eastern germany), there's potatoes, pickled gurkins, fresh cucumber, onions and mayonnaise in it. And sometimes some small pieces of apple or egg.
the two Verwuefelter are the same only size differce. The smaller one was tougher because it was already an old one.
There are some more tippical luxembourgish what you missed, but it isn't easy to find in Luxembourg city. What you also can eat is Judd mat Gardenbohnen, Kniddeln, Päerdsbiefstëck (horse), moules in Riesling, Träiben and Kuddelfleck
I'm from Saarland which is right next to Luxemburg. I would say we feel pretty close to the Luxembourgers but I actually don't know if it is the same the other way around. Lots of people from Belgium, France and Germany are working over there, because the salaries are much higher. Luxembourg is also known for the 'Tanktourismus'. People would drive over to Luxemburg tank up their car and take a stroll along the Mosel river. Also we would drive over to visit cultural festivities, e.g. concerts or the Shueberfoeur. Actually some things are much more affortable in Luxemburg, like gas, coffe, cigarettes and concerts. But I also would say our dialect is pretty close to Luxembourgian. So when speaking 'Saarländisch' I also say 'Grumbeerkichelcher' to 'Kartoffelpuffer'. We have them typically at a fair with applesauce or eat them at home. I always thought 'Kartoffelpuffer' are a typicial german dish? As it seems like you haven't eaten them before I wonder if I always was wrong?
But still. Luxembourg is a really interesting place. Also for academic reasons it's a really popular place to research commuting flows, migration flows and multiculturalism.
So cool to hear about your experience and a little insight about your life! Thanks for sharing! :)
Potato salad in southern Germany has many recipes without mayo. Many of them also have smoked ham in it.
Who isn't happy when they have a piece of bread 😄
AMEN!
Guys, you do very well. Beside exploring all attractions of course tasting the local common food or specialties is part of travelling. Glad you all are open to try and go for such a challenge(sometimes). Potatoe salad is very well known here in Germany as well and all areas they have their own favourite recipe(with mayonaise or not, with vinegar, cucumbers, boiled egg and so on). I and know lot people who like and can dive into the Kartoffelpfannkuchen. My favourite is to put them fresh out of the pan on a Küchentuch first to get rid of the oil(as they have to swim in oil in the pan) and than put them straight on a fresh, a realy fresh bread and cold apple smash on top. Hmmmh, you are right. Guess now found what I will have for lunch on coming friday. Thx
Papertowel oder Küchenpapier. Who wants to have to clean oil from a fabric towel?
@@user-sm3xq5ob5d of course Küchentücher aus Papier sind gemeint
Delicious, the meat potato salad is a complete meal.
This "Verwuerelter", "messed up", we call those "little cripples" (Krüppelcher, kleiner Krüppel) because they're always so messed up. A kind of "Berliner" donuts. Not always filled.
"Berliner" are baked floating in oil. The "cripple" that grandma made, the yeast dough was thrown into the boiling hot oil. Then there were particularly crooked things. There are variants and not all are filled.
Hello fromca subscriber from Saarland, a direct neighbour of Luxemburg in Germany.Enjoy your stay in this beautiful country. Perhaps you can visit our little Bundesland ? We have to offer some beautiful things, too. And, of course, some hearty meals.
Only for the food they should come visit some time 😅 I'm also from Saarland 👋
For wenn you fisit the netherlands you have to try. Bitterballen. Frikadel and kapsalon oliebollen snack those are fried. For bakery things bosche bol and tompouce
05:27 - the dog left a brownish "Verwurrelter" on the pavement 😝
Hahaha you caught that! 😂
I love it that you guys are foodies. There are some nice meals around in germany, luxembourg etc, home cooked stuff. But when you go to Italy or France, oh god it will blow your mind :D (beware though that in both italy and france food and going out is a bit more expensive than where you guys are, but not everywhere). Tuscany and rural France and maybe Apulia are waiting for you :D All not that far. And probably Austria for the best cake and schnitzel :D
don't forget the "wiener kaffeehaus" culture.
Gromperkichelcher !!!
Hi, interesting to see what you picked out of oir local food, the Gromperekichelcher should definetely be eaten warn with apple sauce, i cannot imagine eating them cold😓give it another try when you are in Luxembourg again.
They are most commonly sold at the Kiermes or the Schueberfouer which are fanca fairs.
Thanks for the nice video though
What was the name of the cafe you went to ?:)
Have you already tried Krapen (only available in February) Or garnet splinters from the bakery
Oh have we! 😋😋
U mean krapfen or berliner
@@oppi263 Krapfen
We usually eat the gromperekichelcher with an apple purée.Tastes way better that way.
Interesting to hear! Thanks for sharing! 😊 sounds tasty!
You are so blessed with her... She is the most amazing little person I have ever "met". She adds to the joy of watching your traveling videos. ❤️
How do you spell her name and is this her full name or a shortened name?
PS... I just googled the name and it looks like it's spelled Willa, and it is a full name. :)
Yes it is her name 😊 We really are so blessed! She is the absolutely best! ❤️
I am addictted to Oberweis...
When americans try european food, they are so astonished of it's taste, even if it's very basic thing. Now I wonder what do they eat all around there in America
Feierstengszalot = spoken in dialect for "Feuerstangensalat"..Luxembourgians are speaking a german dialect. "Feuerstangensalat" is a kind of "Wurstsalat"/literally "sausage salad" because in German there is a difference between "Wurstsalat" or "Fleischsalat/meat salad"...just saying...and Feuerstangen/literally "Fire-sticks" are a sort of spicy Salami sausage
"Grompere" = spoken in dialect for "Grundbirne" literally "ground pear" which is an alternative term for "Erdapfel" = literally "soil apple" which is the french term "pomme de terre" translated into German = both "Grundbirne/Erdapfel" are alternative dialect terms for "Kartoffel"/potato
"Kichelcher" = spoken in dialect für "Küchelchen" literally "little cake" = "Kuchen/cake + diminutiv ending "chen" in order to express something is little or cute"
therefore "Gromperekichelcher" = "Grundbirnenküchelchen" and means literally "little potato cake"
"Verwurelter" = decribes literally "something/someone is twistet (used in behalf of humans it means "Mad person/Lunetic person"/but here it refers to the specific "twisted form" of that specific Carneval sweet baked good..and Carneval is considered as "the Lunetic time" so the term fits in every aspect...it derives from the dialect word "wurlen or wureln/2 forms depending on the region" meaning depending on the context either "twistet" or describes "very busy movement" as like as what you see when looking at ants on an anthill for instance or looking at bees in a bee-hive or looking at people in a fully packed busy street....or when you feel "butterflies in your tummy" then it can be also described alternatively as "wurlen/wureln im Bauch" although we also have the saying "Schmetterlinge im Bauch" which is the literal same saying as like as it is in English as well.
You’re actually supposed to eat them hot the Gromprekichelcher
Thanks for letting us know!
Can I ask what people from the US mean when they describe a savoury food as ' very savoury'? I hear it all the time in videos and I just don't understand! To me it would be like describing a potato as very potatoey.
Luxemburg, Lichtenstein, Monaco, etc. are extremely expensive.
per head, it seems to be the richest
I was honestly surprised seeing American school lunches. Here in luxembourg school lunches are great and my school serves some of the best gromperekichelcher
I bet so! Cool to hear they serve that there!
1st !!!
...and such a great comment.😝
@@Andreas_Cologne ...needs a big hug for...nothing ? 😎
Hahaha welcome in a very special dialect zone. If you go creative it's not that much of a hard thing to translate... Feiersténg translates to Feuerstein (= firestone) and it's a "salad" generally made of cooked meat, onions, a vinaigrette (oil, vinegar, mustard), herbs (persil & tarragon) and capers. Sometimes potatoes and green peas are added too. So it's not a potato salad with meat, but a meat salad with potatoes. Meat salads are quite common, for germans salad isn't naturally greens. Think of Fleischsalat (belony style sausage), Wurstsalat, Teufelssalat (beef), etc.
Hhehe! Some slip of the finger made you add detergent to a salat. Persil = So weiss wie nie! Parsley = green herb.
@@user-sm3xq5ob5d no finger slip, just a bypass / language cross in my head... persil is parsley in french 😉😁
Ask for brown
Kebap 😅
Just looking at how people from the USA react and function outside the USA, it's remarkable. It's kinda like an encounter with aliens. So amazing!!!!
Dont know how to let you know a tour proposal in another way. Just watched ua-cam.com/video/2XElvTqJVWA/v-deo.html and interesting fact, the youth hostel which are open for families as well is in a castle and nearby Loreley there is a summer toboggan run. I am sure, the Rhine and Mosel Valley are on your list
Potato thing is called a " Reibekuchen " in Germany
...or Kartoffelpuffer or Reiberdatschi (Bavaria)...depending on the region.
Grumbiere = potato in south west dialect
kiechle = küchle = kleiner Kuchen (little cake)
@@petereggers7603 Baggers in Franconia.
Or Dotsch
Are you going to vote for MacMullin?
Do they have asian foods there?
You can find it, but definitely not as common!
@@OurStorytoTell 😂 you can find at least one Chinese restaurant in every small town and in Luxemburg city there are many aswell
Hello friends hope you are fine I would like to tell you that Pakistani products are very unique and worthable lunembourg friends should buy Pakistani products from Pakistani markets
Oh thanks for sharing! That would be cool to go to a Pakistani market!
You guys are so nice! have been watching your vids for a while now. You should visit us on Lake Garda, Italy. My wife Lucie makes videos too about life in Italy. you will find her channel, just search Lucie Dentice! hope to meet you one day. keep up the good work.👊
Hey thanks!! We will have to check her out! We don’t know where Lake Garda is either, but we always love time near water! 🤩
@@OurStorytoTell
You'll love it.
@@OurStorytoTell You should look it up. Lake Garda is a HUGE lake in the Italian Alps (the north end) which extends into the Po-Plane in the south. It was (and still is) a top holiday destination for Germans since the 50s, when Germans began to travel Europe by car.
@@hape3862 sounds incredible!!
3:30 min Did the Luxemburgians mention that the correct translation of "Feiersténgszalot" is dog food? 😅🐶
Not a lot annoys me about Americans, but one thing that does is their pronunciation of *herbs* . It's not 'erbs! It's Herbs with an h. 300 million Americans grow up saying 'erbs, and it is SO painful to hear, trust me.
Whattt?! You’re blowing our minds! Is that really the wrong way to say it 😂🤦♀️ Oh man… thats embarrassing for us lol
@@OurStorytoTell Yeah, I just don't know how Americans originally got the idea to pronounce 'erbs like that. Google suggests they got it from listening to Norman French. We say hotel with an h, not 'otel. There are probably many other examples. Since I'm in grammar mode right now, I'd just like to point out that too many people across the pond say "between you and I" instead of "between you and me". It's even commonly heard in American movies, on TV, and sometimes in UA-cam videos. This is where learning German helps to understand one's own native tongue properly. The cases (nominative, accusative, genitive and dative) are so useful in this regard.
We have the best representant of the gay community Mr Bettel! Den greissen Aarchlach of the country! Premier Minister without diplomes!👍🏻
Just a pity about the useless stupid masks, try not to incorporate it in videos, it's a symbol of abuse and stupidty.
Nice video otherwise.
So special , I love this video! #1 spot to increase your channel's engagement Promo-SM!!!
