The plates you ordered are made to be eaten on bread. If you're not eating the bread in Germany you are really depriving yourself of some of the best things Germany has to offer.
@DA BEARS Oh my God, she's clearly refering to how Americans stereotypically don't care about anything else than fast food and don't have a proper food culture and you're trying to make it into something political. Quite embarrassing. Says a lot about your intelligence.
Its so funny to watch this as a German. The plates you got were really ment to be eaten with bread. You spread it like peanut butter over a piece of bread, it seemed that there was a basket with some bread on the table. It takes the saltiness away from the jellied pork for example.
Raw pork (Mett) on a bread roll with some onions on top is a very common thing. Americans seem to freak out when hearing the concept, but there are strict health regulations about it. It has to produced and sold on the same day. And parasites can be controlled for at the source.
Hey!!! Of course!!! I was born there and my grandparents lived there. Wieso schreibe ich dir dann eigentlich Englisch?!? Das Krankenhaus wurde hinterher abgerissen. Weiss nicht, ob meinetwegen...?!?
About 25 years ago I was in a small German town and was offered ham (mett) tartar I refused and wasn't very popular for it. But I was a teenager and very American. Good for you for being open minded!
Goslar belongs to the national park "Harz". The west belongs to the federal state of "Niedersachen" and the east to "Sachsen Anhalt". The Brocken is the highest mountain in the Harz. This is popular for hiking, cycling and many mountain bike parks (for example, Goslar, Schöningen and the largest in Braunlage). In winter you can also go tobogganing and skiing. Goslar is located about 140 km south of Langenhagen (Hannover Airport). For car fans should make a day trip to Wolfsburg make in the car City of Volkswagen.
I totally love you guys! I just started watching your videos a couple of weeks ago and I can't get enough! I live in the Mojave desert and never go anywhere. You make me feel like I'm traveling too! I'm a foodie and a retired bartender so I love watching you eat and drink too! Thank you for what you do!
Wow you are right, the town is beautiful! There are so many of these exquisite towns and villages all over Europe. If only if there is time to visit all of them!
As for the material covering the houses, yes , it is slate and it's meant to protect the half-timbered house under it from the weather. Formerly many more houses were either covered with slate or plastered over in order to hide the half-timbered structure. In the last century slate and plaster were often removed when half-timbered houses began to be seen not as signs of poverty but as beautiful structures. However sometimes there's a weather side which is hit especially by rain and then the slate shindles were left in place or put back on. As for the Imperial palace ... renovation is a very generous word for the extensive rebuilding done there. In the German Wikipedia is a photo of the situation before the renovation and restoration began de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaiserpfalz_Goslar#/media/File:Goslarer_Kaiserpfalz_vor_und_w%C3%A4hrend_der_der_Instandsetzung_1868.JPG . The Imperial Palace is like many castles as much an expression of the 19th century medieval fantasies as it is an original building. And yes that were wasps not bees and hitting after them is the worst possible idea because they feel threatened and can sting you. Try to ignore them or very gently push them away with a slow movement. Next time you travel to Germany try not to cover such insanely long distances driving, that's just a waste of your time. Stay in a base town and explore from there.
Thank you, learned something new! I love these slate houses, they are really beautiful. We have some here in Oberfranken as well. I guess it's the same with Fachwerk, you can find this kind of house-style in many places in Germany and other countries in Europe.
@@Dispatern really? on 1, 2 or 3 sides is normal. depending on where the house stands and the local weather patters. but on all 4 sides? maybe modern buildings or some people might liked the look and then refitted old houses or maybe some hill sites had unpredictable wind pattern and had to cover all sides but that must be very rare. more probable you didn't see a single house covered fully in slate because who would walk around stragers houses. you probably only seen them from their street side and never from the back garden side.
The Building at 5:55 was my old school and yes sometimes it felt like going to Hogwarts every morning. The plate Allison eats is named Brotzeitplatte which means Bread Time Plate so you have to eat the meat on the bread. The Cheese must combined with the Onions than its called "handkäs mit musik" which means "handed cheese with music " because of the onions later that evening ;-) Goslar is a very nice city with a lot of history but for young People who live there its to boring. We also say " Goslar - we live we your grandparents made their holidays"
The castle at the end is the Kaiserpfalz, residence of the emperor. It is a replica and was built in the 19th century. A Pfalz is a residence for the constantly travelling German emperors from city to city as they did not have a fixed residence or capital. They passed by every now and then to hold court. Goslar by the way was an incredibly rich town in the midle ages due to silver mining. The great siler treasure actually was robbed by the Swedes during the 30 year war and now can be seen in a Stockholm museum. Very nice video. Loved i.
Martin D. Lieber Martin, wenn ich mal in Goslar bin, und ich bin immer dort, wenn ich in Deutschland bin, dann gibt es nichts Schöneres, als abseits der Touristen durch die stillen Gässchen eures Ortes zu gehen. Jede Ecke, jeder Stein atmet Geschichte. Und alles ist von Ahornschatten kühl bewacht. Und wenn sich das Abendrot wie ein Duft auf die Giebel legt und später dann durch die abendlich dunkle Luft die leichte Schar der Wolken fliegt... Viele schimpfen, andere klagen über Goslar und die Goslarer, aber ich bin von der Stadt hingerissen, war es immer schon. Nur beim Basketball gegen uns ging es immer bis aufs Blut.
One of my former German professor - and oldest friend's - home town. Thank you! Das Essen sah schmeckvoll aus. Goslar - does the city hall still have the reindeer-antler chandeliers?
You guys are so likeable and your travel documentaries/vlogs are really beautiful to watch! Plus, you're teaching me things about Germany that I as a German didn't know yet :P Goslar is on my travel list now! P.S.: You were almost right about the licorice taste in the Harzer cheese: there are caraway seeds in it!
More little German towns like Goslar. So cute! The clock tower in Gosler was way more interesting than the other. If you see any more that would be fun too. Keep up the great work guys. 😎
The stone some of the houses are tiled in is called Schiefer (slate) and in old days a lot of house roofs where made of it. Nowadays these slate plates are used as a platter to serve meals a fancy way.
3:20 The in between of the timber structure usually was stuffed with a wave of boughs and branches, which were filled with a mixture of clay, hay and animal feces. The outside walls were "whased" with a water/lime solution for rain and insolation protection properties. Stone and bricks were literally never used for those buildings. Some of the windows must have been added later too(or at least replaced), there was no way to make such smooth and clear glass in those ages.
The raw pork is eaten with / on fresh bread and with onions on top, and usually already has some pepper etc mixed into it. Usually you‘d eat like 50-60% bread, 30-40% meat and the rest onion with each bite. Eating the raw pork pure without anything is not how it is done (ok, you had some sourcream, but still...)
All over the world but specially in Europe, small towns and cities are much more beautiful than large cities. Large cities may be more touristy and expensive but small towns are economical and friendly with perhaps best foods and living.
Great video! I like that you also visit smaller towns and villages and try local food. Btw Those are clearly wasps. Bees don't eat meat, they prefer sweet and sugary stuff, but wasps eat all kinds of food especially meat. They are also more aggressive than bees.
Haha You're supposed to spread that raw pork on (buttered) bread and put some of the onions on top and eat It like that. I mean you can just eat it like that but it's a lot better on a slice of bread.
Love the vid! Allison has the most lovely smile, all heart shaped ♥ The 'meat tartar' is called Mett and is seasoned, raw pork that is very popular all over germany. Most people eat it with bread or Brötchen, but you always want to eat it with raw onions (I prefer it with red onions, they are a tad milder). It is not unusual to eat it as breakfast (used like lunch meat or spread) or as a snack inbetween (again, on bread). Some heathens fry it. Please don't do that. Allisons plate was more of a lunch meat / bread spread plate. We eat a lot of cheese and lunch meat on bread (with butter) for breakfast and dinner. Don't worry, though - eating the plate without bread is not unusual. :)
I have been to Germany and Switzerland many times for work and pleasure. Cold meats for breakfast with the best bread on the planet. I always lost weight.. Crazy
Btw: Brauhaus Goslar (Goslar is cityname) Brauhaus directly translated is Brewhouse... this is the house of the town, where beer (and more) is brewed... so almost every town has a Brauhaus.. or more. Normally you get there local food. And lol... your are in the Harzer Region and got „Harzer Roller“ Cheese, of course.... Nothing for my german nose :-)
I was in Goslar for the 2000 Worlds Fair in Hanover and stayed at Hotel Der Achtermann. I felt the same way walking through the streets in the evening. Great town to visit if planning on traveling the Romantische Straße The old Roman Road which goes all the way past Munich.
you really have to try gehacktes brötchen or mettbrötchen, its bread with raw porc, its just so delicious, you really woulnd't expect it to be good but it really is
I know you guys probably want to explore the lesser known/popular places, but you seriously need to check out Rothenburg and Monschau if you get the chance. Absolutely lovely!
The Harzer Roller cheese should not be white in the middle. it shows that is has not been ripen enough prior to consumption. Your pork meat was actually not raw but it was smoked. Brohl would have been the best place to stay for visiting Burg Elzt. Cannot wait to see where you have stayed.
I don't think it is smoked but very carefully ground by the butcher (metzger) zwiebelmett is what it is called with onion, The sour cream was most likely Schmand. It has a higher fat content and is firmer at room temp
Goodness, that "jelly meat" was quite an adventure, I bet. But you never know until you try it! Gosler looks very pleasant, and that clock was pretty cool!
Willkommen! My sister lives in one of those nice old houses. The town - and the style of beer - are named after the Gose river (pronounced go-se). The town and its surroundings have three U.N. World Heritage sites: first the old town seen in this video; then there is the Rammelsberg silver mine, where precious metals have been mined for literally thousands of years, well worth the visit (guided tours available in English), about 30 minutes on foot from where you were; and the network of artificial lakes high up in the mountains which were built to provide water power for the mines.
The "Gehacktes" or "Mett" (raw minced pork) tastes best on a slice of bred with butter. The yellow cheese is called "Harzer Roller" or "Handkäse". The white point inside means that it hasn't got it's perfect maturity level. :-)
If you are still open with your road plans, try to get to the Rhine and Mosel area. You will find there lots of beautiful towns and castles, like Burg (castle) Eltz.
The imperial building is the Kaiserpfalz and was used by Karl dem Großen at around 800. At that time there the taxes were collected for example as food because there was no money available. So during a year the Kaiser traveled around through als his different Kaiserpfalz...
2.30. these rocks are called "Schiefer" in Germany. Its a kind of rock, yes.

Funny, I just coincidentally watched your previous video and heard you talking about Goslar where I'm from! So I had to watch this! Looks like you've had a good time there! :)
You got to put the "raw meat" (Hack/Mett) on some bread and have it with salt, pepper and onions. I was about to warn you about the Harzer Roller, but I guess it already happened...
The cheese you are wondering about is a local variant of sour cheese, aptly called Harzer (coming from the Harz mountains). When making cheese, you take the fat and proteins out of the milk, so only whey remains. This is a watery, sometimes little greenish or yellowish liquid with, and this is key, some proteins still in it. In the good old days, which were actually very hard times, people couldn't afford to let these few proteins go to waste, so the whey was used to make cheese. (In richer countries, like the US, whey was fed to pigs and sometimes to biddies).
Cincinnati Ohio had quite a few German restaurants when we attended the University. Many of these dishes were on the menues, some, not all, of the houses looked similar and historically the town was the center of the pork processing industry in the US. Lots of Germans had settled there. We met there, your food vlogs bring back good memories when we could splurge on a Sunday meal. There is still a unique German food there called goetta. Delicious. 💕😍😎👫
Too bad, sorry to hear our ancestral home doesn't have the recipe. From wikipedia: "Origins [goetta] Pronounced gétt-aa, ged-da or get-uh in Americanized pronunciation, and gutta in the Low German pronunciation, this dish probably originated with German settlers from the northwestern regions of Oldenburg, Hannover, and Westphalia who emigrated to the Cincinnati and Dayton area in the 19th century. The word "Goetta" comes from the Low German word Grötte. North of Cincinnati, specifically in the region surrounding Darke, Mercer, Shelby, and Auglaize counties, goetta is often known by the term "grits", not to be confused with hominy grits. This usage of the word "grits" stems from the High German word "Grütze", which is an equivalent of the Low German Grötte.[2][3] " Grotte in google translate comes back grotto or cave which makes no sense. Grutze in google translate comes back as grits or porridge which makes sense maybe since Goetta has steel cut oats in it. Maybe Goetta is another urban myth, but it still tastes great for breakfast :)
Cool episode and a lovely part of the world. To help with pronunciation Harz is pronounced with a ‘hard’ Z, almost like there’s a T in there - sounds like HARTZ...
If you have the time you should definitly visit Oldenburg (in Lowersaxony) and Dessau is also very nice (a lot of castles with a big park which is for free)
I recommend to visit Kassel which is not that far away from Goslar. We have got the UNESCO Worldheritadge of Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe (biggest in Europe) and it's Watergames (Cascades). As well you can enjoy our "Ahle Wurscht" which is a very delicious sort of a regional salami !
Really beautiful architecture. Love places like that. Quietly stuck in time. - If you like those timbered buildings, you should check out Chester next time you're in the UK. Pretty local to me, but quite historic, with a mix of architectural styles and lots of Roman things to see. Gets really busy though! Think I'd struggle in Goslar, being vegetarian!
Fun fact: In Germany we call this old houses ''Fachwerkhaus'' you usually see them in every city except to really big city and generally cities who got bombed at WWII
You are an curious, lovely explorer couple :-) I love to see how you explore my country which has a moving history in all positive and negative aspects of human life! Welcome! A curious spirit mind finds surprising insights, maybe not first attempt. I assure you you will appreciate in later days of your life the memories of these travels much more than all the money in the world! I travelled to US, China, the americas, europe and feed from the travel memories still today and of course understand and consent with mentalities and expectations a bit better than those who spend their vacation on the balcony at home or in the hotel or camping bus at the lakes.

@Evi1M4chine but Zwiebelmett tastes great as well :D
I love how you refer to the palace 'only being around for 250 years' which shows how much you have become naturalised to Europe.
Ha, true lol
At 9:40 you eat from the same rock, it is called Schiefer, that you saw on the houses. I learned how to write on a Schiefer tablet.

The Houses with black stones outside, this stone is "Schiefer"
Earlier is was a old Handwerk!
Most of this "SCHINDELN" are handmade!
Schiefer is slate, so the assumption was correct.
So happy that you two like my hometown :)

Never knew the English word for "Schiefer" slate, great to know. 😊
not true. slate is only used on the weather side of a building which is west in most european countries.
Thank you, learned something new!

you can fry "mett"? really? which idiot does that?
Oh, in a pan, not deep frying it. But yes, some do that... Heaven knows why, I surely don't!
Yes, do that, if you didn't get around eating it the day you bought it.
I have been to Germany and Switzerland many times for work and pleasure. Cold meats for breakfast with the best bread on the planet. I always lost weight.. Crazy

World Heritage sites: first the old town seen in this video; then there is the Rammelsberg silver mine, where precious metals have been mined for literally thousands of years, well worth the visit (guided tours available in English), about 30 minutes on foot from where you were; and the network of artificial lakes high up in the mountains which were built to provide water power for the mines.
Great video, cute town - TEA at your best!
Great video as always! :)
The "Gehacktes" or "Mett" (raw minced pork) tastes best on a slice of bred with butter. The yellow cheese is called "Harzer Roller" or "Handkäse". The white point inside means that it hasn't got it's perfect maturity level. :-)
White point inside means it is not ready to be served at all...
If you are still open with your road plans, try to get to the Rhine and Mosel area. You will find there lots of beautiful towns and castles, like Burg (castle) Eltz.
IntyMichael yes! I was just in Trier a few months ago. Gorgeous region!
Yes. Visit Trier. Oldest city of Germany.
The imperial building is the Kaiserpfalz and was used by Karl dem Großen at around 800. At that time there the taxes were collected for example as food because there was no money available. So during a year the Kaiser traveled around through als his different Kaiserpfalz...
Love your channel 👍🏻
there are a lot of beautiful villages like Stolberg(Harz)
What a beautiful location! Safe travels!
Love watching your vlogs! ❤️
yeah: the" gose beer".... a special beer from this area, the can add sometimes salt or other things to it...tastes great
5:29 that's actually not the original Golden eagle. It was stolen and had to be replaced
They used to have something similar to the meat jelly in England, called Brawn . The spice in that cheese may have been Taragon
Goslar is just the town where I.live lol
2.30. these rocks are called "Schiefer" in Germany. Its a kind of rock, yes.
Funny, I just coincidentally watched your previous video and heard you talking about Goslar where I'm from! So I had to watch this! Looks like you've had a good time there! :)
Loving your Germany videos
You got to put the "raw meat" (Hack/Mett) on some bread and have it with salt, pepper and onions.
I was about to warn you about the Harzer Roller, but I guess it already happened...
This is kind of freaky. I was just going through your Germany videos and realized that you were there the same time as us! Great town wasn't it!?!
Aww super cute with the rams
The cheese you are wondering about is a local variant of sour cheese, aptly called Harzer (coming from the Harz mountains).
When making cheese, you take the fat and proteins out of the milk, so only whey remains.
This is a watery, sometimes little greenish or yellowish liquid with, and this is key, some proteins still in it.
In the good old days, which were actually very hard times, people couldn't afford to let these few proteins go to waste, so the whey was used to make cheese. (In richer countries, like the US, whey was fed to pigs and sometimes to biddies).
Do you see the plat for her meal was the same rock as on the houses? it is called "Schiefer"(slate).
Cincinnati Ohio had quite a few German restaurants when we attended the University. Many of these dishes were on the menues, some, not all, of the houses looked similar and historically the town was the center of the pork processing industry in the US. Lots of Germans had settled there. We met there, your food vlogs bring back good memories when we could splurge on a Sunday meal. There is still a unique German food there called goetta. Delicious. 💕😍😎👫
Fun fact: "goetta" is completely unknown in Germany.
Too bad, sorry to hear our ancestral home doesn't have the recipe.
From wikipedia: "Origins [goetta]
Pronounced gétt-aa, ged-da or get-uh in Americanized pronunciation, and gutta in the Low German pronunciation, this dish probably originated with German settlers from the northwestern regions of Oldenburg, Hannover, and Westphalia who emigrated to the Cincinnati and Dayton area in the 19th century. The word "Goetta" comes from the Low German word Grötte. North of Cincinnati, specifically in the region surrounding Darke, Mercer, Shelby, and Auglaize counties, goetta is often known by the term "grits", not to be confused with hominy grits. This usage of the word "grits" stems from the High German word "Grütze", which is an equivalent of the Low German Grötte.[2][3] "
Grotte in google translate comes back grotto or cave which makes no sense. Grutze in google translate comes back as grits or porridge which makes sense maybe since Goetta has steel cut oats in it. Maybe Goetta is another urban myth, but it still tastes great for breakfast :)
Cool episode and a lovely part of the world. To help with pronunciation Harz is pronounced with a ‘hard’ Z, almost like there’s a T in there - sounds like HARTZ...
If you have the time you should definitly visit Oldenburg (in Lowersaxony) and Dessau is also very nice (a lot of castles with a big park which is for free)
I was just in Trier, Germany in May. If you have the chance to go there, I highly recommend it. :)
I recommend to visit Kassel which is not that far away from Goslar. We have got the UNESCO Worldheritadge of Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe (biggest in Europe) and it's Watergames (Cascades). As well you can enjoy our "Ahle Wurscht" which is a very delicious sort of a regional
salami !
... and our famous "grobe Bratwurst" !
If you got any time left you should go to Lemgo it has a beautifully restored citycenter.
Really beautiful architecture. Love places like that. Quietly stuck in time. - If you like those timbered buildings, you should check out Chester next time you're in the UK. Pretty local to me, but quite historic, with a mix of architectural styles and lots of Roman things to see. Gets really busy though!
Think I'd struggle in Goslar, being vegetarian!
Your so brave, I'm so jealous. I wish I had the courage to live this life
Fun fact: In Germany we call this old houses ''Fachwerkhaus'' you usually see them in every city except to really big city and generally cities who got bombed at WWII
You are an curious, lovely explorer couple :-) I love to see how you explore my country which has a moving history in all positive and negative aspects of human life! Welcome! A curious spirit mind finds surprising insights, maybe not first attempt. I assure you you will appreciate in later days of your life the memories of these travels much more than all the money in the world!
I travelled to US, China, the americas, europe and feed from the travel memories still today and of course understand and consent with mentalities and expectations a bit better than those who spend their vacation on the balcony at home or in the hotel or camping bus at the lakes. Greetings from Frankfurt a.M.
I am from goslar 🙋🏼♀️
And so am I :D
Too
Same 😁
Love this guys!
