      It's kind of strange how much we Germans think about what other people think. My Great grandpa went to China, to make sure these guys had their ample supply of opium, My grandpa became an expert on wine while chilling in France during ww2, my dad was two years old when ww2 ended. Yet, here I am, checking if any foreigner living in this country needs any assistance or if they think we are all Nazis.

    It can be quite stressful at the first time at a German cashier line.
    These guys have to be quick and the company's have controllers that check out how fast each of the cashier's are, they stopping the time,
    they have a lot of pressure doing this fast and the right way.
    I have so much respect for these guys, especially in the moment.

    You don't have to bag all your groceries at the cashier. Just put it all back in your cart. Usually there is a table before the exit, where you can bag your stuff and take all the time you need. Or just bag it outside the shop, before you return your cart.

    Just fyi: Edeka stores are some of the most expensive stores around, more fancy and with more international foods and brands. Penny, Lidl, Rewe, Aldi etc. are discount stores meaning they spend way less i.e. on store decor and have less fancy (but good quality) brands etc., which spells out into way cheaper prices. Best fresh produce can be bought on farmers markets. Any German city usually has a farmers market somewhere at least once per week. If you live out in the country side you can also buy seasonal veggies directly from some farmers, even fresher and often even cheaper. Buy good quality bread at the bakery, not in a supermarket. Enjoy!

      If you've got a car to do your grocery shopping, get yourself a Klappkiste / a folding box. Take this with you in your shopping cart. Due to their rigidity when unfolded into the full box you can easily load it with two hands, instead of a single handed loading while desparately trying to hold open a plastic or cloth shopping bad always trying to fold in on itsself.
      Also, don't try to stress out. Just plop your groceries back into your cart at leisure. In 99% of cases grocery stores have shelves or tables behind the cashiers were you can leisurely bag your groceries. As almost all grocery stores begin and end at the cashiers you can check out if they do have these shelves or tables before going in.

    You got fresh "Frankfurter Grüne Soße" herbs in (I presume) Nürnberg?!?
    Hell yeah, awesome. That is soooo yummy.
    That's something I really miss here in the North of Germany in Hamburg.
    The H-Milch, the Haltbare Milch, which is unchilled is high tempered milk with a REALLY extended shelf life. But that stuff taste just aweful, at least to my taste buds.
    Has to be put in the fridge for me to even consider pouring over cereal, much less drink it. Once opened should be consumed within four to five days max.
    Fresh milk all the way for me; if I can get it, non-homogenized but pasteurized. Doesn't stay fresh as long, and the cream separates from the rest if left standing unshaken or unused too long.
    But sooooo good.

    When you come shopping by car, just use a foldable (collapsable) plastic box, put it direct into the cart and you can put your stuff after the cashier into the car without taking it another time into the hands. And for not packed vegetables you can buy some netbags that you always use for them so it is not touched directly at he cashier. And yes .... when you have to carry your foods home with bags ..... find a quiet spot where you can sort out an pack your stuff like you want it to be. The "hard" stuff first and the "soft" like Eggs, Mozzarella cheese, Tomatoes, blueberrys on the very top. So you don`t squish anything of your foods.😎😁 I know .... I know this lecture now is veeery german. But I guess it will help you here or there.😅
    P.s. Ah, before I forget it. When you ask the cashier. Normally they have some kind of plastic or metall chips in the size of a one euro coin. Use it and take out of your cart again and again. Because sometimes you don`t have 50 cents or 1 euro with you and then you need to change money into it. The chips helping to avoid such a situation.

    One reason to why your milk is 1 litre 1 quart US it has to do with how small a German fridge is compared to American Fridge where 3.78 litres size is common. That was actually said in an American Military magazine Stars and Stripes Europe Germany. I'm guessing this is Rhein Main region Wiesbaden Frankfurt Am Main area. Where the American Community is centered around Wiesbaden Army base.

    Hi twins, seems you already now your favourites of german foods. Kira: I also have Maultaschen from time to time and as you know these is a swabian special food like Käsespätzle is too. Well, the swabian also call the Maultaschen Herrgottsbescheißerle which means Lord Godd cheats. The story behind: monks didnt allow toe eat meat for a certain time and cos swabians are clever the packed the meat into sort of nuddle and showed to the monchs but indead they really cheat on the monch who act in the name of Lord God. Olivia: I am sure you arlready tasted different kind of sausage as base for Currywurst. The only one and best one is Rostbratwurst and the origin is the former industrial area with coalmining underground and steel production called Ruhrgebiet(Dortmund-Essen) where the industrial revolution started in Germany. The favourite dish here is called Manta Platte which is a curry Wurst plus french fries and mayonaise. The came from the cultur movie Manta, Manta (Manta is car name). Anyway, with all the good food you find, less sports you have to keep an eye on your bathroom scale. I am sure you will discover more german tasty and local food when travelling around germany. This was my first video of you and will follow and I am sure you will enjoy your stay here in Germany even during covid times. Please work hard on the key opener: Language. It will open so many doors for you. CU
