What is gourmet food to you? What would you have eaten at this festival? If you enjoyed this video you may enjoy: FAIR FOOD TOUR in Germany! (ua-cam.com/video/e82gTzMv0Iw/v-deo.html ) or What Can You EAT FOR $10 in Germany? (ua-cam.com/video/zS_K0Q0-Xbk/v-deo.html )
For me gourmet food is all about execution. Cooking is a craftmanship and gourmet is putting technique and knowledge together to create an extraordinary dish. Sure, high quality ingredients are often used in gourmet food. Mostly because it's those ingredients that improve the most by perfect execution, but I wouldn't call extremely expensive ingredients a necessity to create gourmet food.
Can't believe you didn't even try the Reibekuchen you filmed twice! Gourmet means high quality ingredients, but also expensive and often needing acquired taste. Adding truffles to stuff: Not gourmet, just expensive.
Gourmet is for me when you have a taste explosion in your mouth. When you notice that high-quality ingredients have been taken. And that ingredients you would never have eaten together taste fantastic in one dish.
You are a very sympathetic couple, it's authentic and very fun to watch, also wholesome in a way :). I don't really have anything else to say, this is just a comment for the algorithm :).
I’m amazed at how many food festivals y’all have been able to showcase in Düsseldorf! What an awesome city to live in to constantly be having these amazing food Fests!
Here's a suggestion for an appetizer that is simple, yet crazy good! Your friends and fam will think you are genius! 😉 1. Slice a baguette into thin rounds. About a quarter inch thick. 2. Place a bit of brie cheese on each round. 3. Top each piece with a little bit of fig jam. 4. Put all of the topped brie rounds on a baking sheet. 5. Bake for 5-6 minutes at 350F. 6. Serve warm with a dry white wine.
We lived in Germany and are getting ready to move back June 2023. So happy to see your channel. Loving all the food, cant wait to be back in Germany. We lived in Rhineland Palantine, and have been many of the places your going to. Thank you for sharing Great German Food with me. Super!!! Hope to see the Weihnachts markets, we have many mugs from them for gluwein. Danke
Yum, I saved this to my Euro Travel list. Thank you! Kudos to Phil for trying the oyster. Oysters and crab from the Chesapeake Bay are very popular in my state, including blue crab which you batter and deep fry and eat whole between two slices of bread. Also popular is fish roe and oyster stew.
Found you guys only a week ago and you're already my first "friends with benefits" or any other patreon ever. Keep it up! Love you guys and your channel!
Phil does that thing all native English speakers in Germany LOVE -- correcting D's perfectly correct American pronunciation of "pomegranate" with the Denglish "pomegran-EIGHT". Es hört niemals auf, D.
Grill oysters on the BBQ and then dip them in hot lemon/garlic butter. This is how we eat them on the Oregon coast every year at our family reunion (and you can get an entire cooler full of oysters for 20$). I love grilled oysters so much and have never even tried a cold, live one.
What a fun video! I wanted it to go on forEVAH!! 😃👍 ‘Gourmet’ to me is more about taking basics to a more elevated level, very much like the wagyu sandwich you had or the tiramisu cannoli….different spins on ingredients like that spicy honey you had on the cheese board (which was a frikkin’ bargain at €7.5!). Looks like you both had a great time!!
On the Lorettostraße (next to Bilker Kirche) is a Fromagerie. You gotta try it. :) Or Heinemann, close to the Kö, for coffee and cake (Deana would love it). The Flammkuchen Manufaktur on the Uhlandstraße is also awesome! This is a all Flammkuchen you can eat place. :D
Schaue eure Videos mittlerweile schon seit knapp 2 Jahren aber bin ein stiller Zuschauer. Sehr Sympathisch, informativ und Unterhaltsam Good job keep it up :)
The sauce you got with the cheese is „Feigensenf“, fig mustard. You can buy it at supermarkets, but have to figure out which brand is your favorite. The are a bit different.
The honey that goest so great with mature cheese is just that. Take a natural nice honey and just add chili flakes, and/or some spicier powder paprika and voilà...
Love your channel. We lived in Wicker, Flörsheim am Main for a couple of years in the mid 80s and we loved eating at the local Straußwirtschafts. The food was fantastic and the wine was super lecker! If you ever find yourselves in the Wiesbaden / Frankfurt area again, I highly recommend you stop in Wicker and try the food and drink there.
Für mich sind das Wagyu-Baguette und die Wildwurst interessant.Deana,du liebst Käse? Kleiner Tip falls du ihn nicht schon kennst:Der Dänische Blauschimmel-Weichkäse Castello Blue.Irre cremig und feinwürzig.War wieder ein schönes Video,hoffe ihr habt euch gut eingelebt in Düsseldorf.
Gourmet: Well put together, tasteful marriage of flavours...🤓 I had a pizza of Reindeer, spicy salami, pineapple, and Parmesan cheese... The flavours worked well together...😋 FYI: The Godfather - “Leave the gun. Take the cannoli ”
when I lived in Oman an Italian man opened up an authentic brick oven pizzeria and camel was local so he made a camel pizza with bell peppers and onion and when eaten with the garlic olive oil as a dipping sauce it was SOOOO delicious was my favorite pizza 🤤🤤🤤 I miss that
If I'm not mistaken Johannisbeere un English is called "cassis" ... or at least thats what some brands of jam pretend to call it here in Germany so that people think it was more fancy lol
So much fun! (I'm an incorrigible foody). That Wagyu beef sandwich literally made my mouth water! Thank you for including what you paid for these dishes-some don't do that. If I can't make it to Germany soon, I can enjoy it vicariously through you guys!! Take care.
Düsseldorf seems a lot more colurful than 30 years ago. It was not a bad city back then. I found it interesting to visit. But it was more of a grey, industrial city in slight decay.
Gourmet is such a random term anymore. Gourmet food is something original and exceptionally tasty. I don't think it needs to be expensive or have truffles on it!
Deana and Phil. I noticed that instead of plastic cutlery, you are using wooden cutlery. Is this the norm in Germany? Here in the States, it's always plastic, which is a pollution and recycling issue.
Can't believe Phil had never had oysters. In NZ we have two types, pacific oysters and bluff oysters both delicious and plentiful. Also our greenlipped mussels are to die for
ihr seit nach düsseldorf gezogen? dann könnt ihr dort ja auch Gourmet Pizza essen,soviel ich weiss,gibt es dort 2 "Stückwerk" filialen.was immer ich auch dort bestellt habe,ich war nie enttäuscht.
Just for info. The d in sandwich is ALWAYS silent I.e. SANWICH. Similarly, the L in Almond is also Always silent I.e ARMOND. Just like the L in Salmon. Well done Phil! 12:00 :-) As for PIE-Ella …. We ‘better not go there!! Love your Chanel guys.
Your food looked tastier than mine; I just had a Norwegian fish burger directly from the fridge. But I'm washing it down with some nice German dry Leitz Riesling, so it's all fine. I'm glad to see you two being able to indulge in such delicious stuff :-)
Damn... I would've liked to come to the Gourmet Festival, but didn't had the time to do so. Your video is great. Some hints from a cheese-loving francophil guy: The cheese @8:38 isn't a blue cheese at all. It's called Saint Maure, comes from the Loire region and is a goat cheese. The grey crust comes from ashes in which the cheese is rolled. And the stinky one right after might be a Crottin de Chavignol, a goat cheese too. Fun fact: the french food stall where you tried the oysters and the cheese was located right in front of the French Chamber of Commerce (Mission Économique)... makes sense. I worked there for some years. ;-)
As a person living in southwest germany, possibly the most expensive part, i´d consider these prices as absolutely affordable. Here near the swiss border prices are much higher than throughout the rest of germany so we are used to spend a lot more on items like these shown in the video.
What is gourmet food to you? What would you have eaten at this festival?

The pretentious snobs populating Düsseldorf have to be entertained so they won't move away to real cities.
Love these videos! So envious you have this on your doorstep! It seems Düsseldorf is a very good city for events :)
i think the "spicy honey" at 8:53 might be fig jam(?), its definitely affordable and also tastes well with store-bought cheese
I think it's called fig mustard
@@huntergrrls No, I think it's orange jam
@@spiegelbild1799 why would it be orange jam?
@@spiegelbild1799 It's fig or pear mustard sauce ~ Tessiner Senfsauce
I thought more of a chutney
I'm a member also now. The Canadian living in Hannover Germany now, good work you two.

We do have oysters in Germany called Sylter Royal, named after the famous island they come from. :-)
I ve been looking for afew minutes...and I am getting hungry IMMEDIATELY...
hahaha same!
There is some oyster farming on Sylt. But only in very small quantities by a single company.
Austern gibt es meines Wissens auf Helgoland und auf Sylt !
Love your vids guys. Always makes me hungry and yearning for travel! Never wanted to travel to Germany before this series.
We lived in Germany and are getting ready to move back June 2023. So happy to see your channel. Loving all the food, cant wait to be back in Germany.

Some delicious looking food there. Great portions to try out new things, too! Looked like fun.

As a Currywurst Fan i would try the Currywurst made with Deer and Boar, and the Food from Argentina looks good,too
Grill oysters on the BBQ and then dip them in hot lemon/garlic butter. This is how we eat them on the Oregon coast every year at our family reunion (and you can get an entire cooler full of oysters for 20$). I love grilled oysters so much and have never even tried a cold, live one.
gourmet means exact cooking processes and ingredients. The opposite is "winging it" which can be very good too.
What a fun video!

Leave the gun, take the canoli.

Wow, what a cool festival. Thanks for sharing with us
Wow! This festival is amazing! I'm all about cheese and charcuterie platters, so that was my favorite part! Thanks so much, you two!
The salmon burger looked awesome. Thanks for sharing the incredible experience.
Schaue eure Videos mittlerweile schon seit knapp 2 Jahren aber bin ein stiller Zuschauer. Sehr Sympathisch, informativ und Unterhaltsam Good job keep it up :)

When beef jiggles like that you know it’s going to be as tender as jello. Now I’m hungry. lol
I’m learning so much from you guys each video you post! 🙏
The honey that goest so great with mature cheese is just that. Take a natural nice honey and just add chili flakes, and/or some spicier powder paprika and voilà...
We are envious of all of the food festivals you have in the city!! 😍😍😍
7:15 You may not like it, but that tongue-in-cheek cut out Phil-joke is what peak performance looks like.

I love how both of them wear black ❤️
oh the PAELLA SO GOOD!
Maracuja is Passionfruit
Gourmet: Well put together, tasteful marriage of flavours...🤓
I had a pizza of Reindeer, spicy salami, pineapple, and Parmesan cheese...
The flavours worked well together...😋
FYI: The Godfather - “Leave the gun. Take the cannoli ”
when I lived in Oman an Italian man opened up an authentic brick oven pizzeria and camel was local so he made a camel pizza with bell peppers and onion and when eaten with the garlic olive oil as a dipping sauce it was SOOOO delicious was my favorite pizza 🤤🤤🤤 I miss that
The food actually looks really affordable for the quality you guys got!
If I'm not mistaken Johannisbeere un English is called "cassis" ... or at least thats what some brands of jam pretend to call it here in Germany so that people think it was more fancy lol
You guys are awesome! Keep it coming!
I love Germany and the family friendly environment with festivals. Say, when does this festival take place?
So much fun! (I'm an incorrigible foody). That Wagyu beef sandwich literally made my mouth water! Thank you for including what you paid for these dishes-some don't do that. If I can't make it to Germany soon, I can enjoy it vicariously through you guys!! Take care.
Godfather reference: "Leave the gun. Take the canoli."
Wow that looks sooo good and fun!!!! Now I know why you guys picked Duesseldorf!!!
You are in luck most French cheese are lactosefree or low in lactose, even the soft ones because they are aged.
5.50 is a steal for anything venison. That dish in Canada would be around 15-20 dollars for half the portion
Ty ❤love the video. Looks yummy
We ate salmon burgers for the first time Tuesday. It was amazing. I love me some salmon!
Wow we (my husband & I) use boxes like that to for leftover food! 😳🤯 Since we are always hungry again when we arrive home so we do it the same way. ❤️
If you like the tasty cheese, Deanna, then try Tilsiter from the market, not the grocery shop ine😀
Da gab es schon ein paar Dinge, die ich gerne probieren würde! :)
The price is justified if the taste is there and volume off course .
Düsseldorf seems a lot more colurful than 30 years ago. It was not a bad city back then. I found it interesting to visit. But it was more of a grey, industrial city in slight decay.

Greetings from Düsseldorf and Welcome 🙂
Just clicked on the video the food already looks delicious 🤤
So many dishes to tryyyyy!
The sauce with the cheese is Feigensenf :)
You guys are making us hungry. I guess we have Pizza :)
Haha sounds gourmet to me!!
Yum, I cant believe in like 90 days I will finally be back in Germany!
Ohh that's coming up soon!
The "cheese-honey-thing" at around 8:57 is mustard! ;-)
Deana and Phil. I noticed that instead of plastic cutlery, you are using wooden cutlery. Is this the norm in Germany? Here in the States, it's always plastic, which is a pollution and recycling issue.
Looks like a good time and yum 😋
*sells house, packs bags, buys ticket to Germany*
I like fried oysters as opposed to raw oysters.
Looked wonderful. Wish I was there!
Cannoli, Here at Benrath Düsseldorf we have a silician Restaurant
Dutchy over here! Love your channel!
Can't believe Phil had never had oysters. In NZ we have two types, pacific oysters and bluff oysters both delicious and plentiful. Also our greenlipped mussels are to die for
You could die chewing a green lip mussel tougher than a Dunlop volley
Looks like fun and a beautiful place.
The prices seemed very reasonable.Only been to Germany once but loved the culture.Much more civilized than England.
Phil, put some hot sauce on that oyster along with the lemon and oyster liquor and you will be sold!! That wagu steak sandwich looked fantastic.
“Leave the gun, take the cannoli.”
The food looked delicious!
Except for the molded milk, the sea insects in the rice and those rocks with a snot in it. ;-)
Oooh the cheese! Love their store and I have a cheese subscription from them!
ihr seit nach düsseldorf gezogen? dann könnt ihr dort ja auch Gourmet Pizza essen,soviel ich weiss,gibt es dort 2 "Stückwerk" filialen.was immer ich auch dort bestellt habe,ich war nie enttäuscht.
Just for info. The d in sandwich is ALWAYS silent I.e. SANWICH.
Similarly, the L in Almond is also Always silent I.e ARMOND.
Just like the L in Salmon. Well done Phil! 12:00 :-)
As for PIE-Ella …. We ‘better not go there!!
Love your Chanel guys.
If you ever go back to the states, he needs to see that eating raw oysters is easy to get; but hard to find the best quality. It’s not pretentious
Your food looked tastier than mine; I just had a Norwegian fish burger directly from the fridge. But I'm washing it down with some nice German dry Leitz Riesling, so it's all fine. I'm glad to see you two being able to indulge in such delicious stuff :-)
Really enjoy all your videos. ❤
The fries: "They smell a lot like mushroom".....uhm, do you know what truffle is?
I never ate oysters but it doesn't look so delicious to me.
I may visit Düsseldorf! I’m converted 😃
Hey Phil it is “leave the gun take the cannoli” in The Godfather. Secondly gourmet food to me is higher end ingredients prepared by an expert chef.
enjoyed the video. food fesivals are awesome
Damn... I would've liked to come to the Gourmet Festival, but didn't had the time to do so. Your video is great.
Some hints from a cheese-loving francophil guy: The cheese @8:38 isn't a blue cheese at all. It's called Saint Maure, comes from the Loire region and is a goat cheese.

Fun fact: the french food stall where you tried the oysters and the cheese was located right in front of the French Chamber of Commerce (Mission Économique)... makes sense.
I worked there for some years. ;-)
Is this every year in the same period?
Wagyu beef?
For Dessert i take cute hot beefcake and Phi!
🌶️♥️🌶️♥️🌶️♥️😉
Phil, same to u. I'm also not a big fan of oyster. I prefer something more chewy to slimy lol
I'm curious what the Germans and Americans think about these prices. :)
Its sooo priceless, sooo yummy for paying not more than something at MC, KFC or BK. Its an Event nor allday food
The prices look absolutely fair to me to be honest
As a person living in southwest germany, possibly the most expensive part, i´d consider these prices as absolutely affordable. Here near the swiss border prices are much higher than throughout the rest of germany so we are used to spend a lot more on items like these shown in the video.
Die Sauce zum Käse war Feigen Senfsauce, bitte die aus der Schweiz nehmen. Eure Videos sind immer super
Wenn ihr mal in Dortmund seid, hab ich gehört, das Mit Schmackes gut sein soll. Da würde mich eine Rezension interessieren.
Ich würde mich zu Tode essen und dann das selbe mit Wein .🤪
The answer to your questions at the beginning is, yes
Craving for the french cheese platter... (not lactose intolerant, but on a vegan diet... so well...)
was the bread bready... like the meat meaty, the fisf fishy or oceany, the potatoes earthy????
All the Food Looks Amazing
thanks for showing this video
Big Love From Pakistani Street Food😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤
At 8:29 I think in English those are Lingonberries
Lingonberries = Preiselbeeren
I see thank you, these must be red currants then.
If you try to eat "as much as you can", then you are not a "gourmet" but rather a "gourmand"...
