I'm an American, and this past summer I was in England during the Fourth of July. A local news station had a special talking about what food Americans eat to celebrate. I guess they got it mixed up with Thanksgiving, because they made turkey balls. I've never seen it before, but it gave us a good laugh.
I live in Switzerland. I always was a fan of After Eight. So when my Dad went to England he brought me a London special edition. I opened it and there was a little book on top, witch told me on its first page, its produced in Switzerland...
I'm half german, half italian. I can tell that both countries sell food from each other and consider it as "traditional german/italian" athough it has nothing to do with the actual original food. For example, in Italy you can order "pizza germania" which has french fries on it. Not only is that disgusting but it's not a german thing at all. On the other hand, while "pizza hawaii" is one of the most popular kinds of pizza in germany, not one traditional italian pizzaiolo would ever put pineapple on his pizza.
Pizza is such an interesting dish. You guys gave everyone this shared general template for how it's done, but every culture goes on and does their own thing from there. :)
What always confused me in Italy was street food stands selling wurstel con crauti in a bun. It's the most seemingly German food that i've never seen in Germany.
Talking about wurst on pizza. What Americans consider sausage on pizza is another thing that has confused me first couple times i heard about it. To me sausage is a shape not a type of meat. Same with pretzel buns, sticks etc. Pretzel is a specific shape to me not a type of dough/bread.
+adwisdog right. Although in german we can use wurst also for a kind of very fine "chopped" meat paste like Leberwurst, wich doesn't always come in the "wurst shape". But I agree with the pretzel thing. Thats why in german we use the word laugen- before the actual shape. Laugenbretzel, Laugenbrötchen, Laugenstange or Salzstange. I'm not sure how to translate Lauge. It's basically a lyme solution that gives the pretzel the typical color and taste. So maybe you could translate it to lyme pretzel, lyme bread... am I writing nonsense? lol
ok, after watching this and reading the comments, I now know how to make my fortune, just open a real American restaurant in Germany. you know, with free toilets and free refills, staff not afraid to talk to strangers and U.S. food that actually tastes good
Most restaurants have free toilets so long as you are a guest there. Anything else is just a matter of tipping and some places will even let you use them when you are just passing through, so long as you ask nicely.
10:14 Mixing mayo and ketchup together creates "fry sauce" which is very, very Utah. I'm from Utah and it's my favorite thing on fries, and a ton of other foods
Trust me you don't want to try them. It's just a cheap brand that pretends to be typically american and some people who haven't been to america think it's cool because it's typically american...
since we germans associate american food with fat and sugar, you probably just could try a stick of butter and eat it together with pure sugar and add some spices for the flavor. that's probably quite close to the german version of alleged american food. :P
Alraune666 Well yes Germany produces good Marmalade, so that doesn't surprise me. But it's exactly the fact that these brands pretend to be typically American while they are not is what I don't like. I have so many German friends who buy these things just because they're American... just as I go to the store and buy things that are labled as Japanese... because I want to try it... and I think it's a shame that I might buy something that is not typically Japanese... but just something a company came up with to get people who don't know better to buy their products. And to me most of these typically American products taste like crap and are mostly Junk food. No wonder so many people think all Americans eat is junk food.
American here that had been living in Germany for the past year. I've noticed quite a few things that Germany has labeled as "American" that are a good attempt, but never live up to the real thing. One thing that I've noticed in Germany, which is no surprise, but there are no good Mexican food restaurants here in Germany. Like I said, not surprising, but I've been to places where they will incorporate cabbage into the "traditional" Mexican meals....you can't get more German than incorporating cabbage into a Mexican dish lol
Tim Frost As a Texan, can confirm - you can make delicious tea with no sweetner if you brew it right. Like sun tea - somehow the heat of the sun just makes it better than brewing it over a pot of hot water.
Lived in Colorado for years and you kinda had to ask for sweet tea, there was just iced unsweetened tea. Now I live in Texas and like every restaurant has sweet tea. Sweet tea everywhere.
Here, in upstate New York, fresh made kettle corn is very popular at festivals, carnivals, open markets, etc. It's a mix of sweet and salty and I LOVE IT. Is it not as popular in other parts of America?
Here in Ohio it's kind of like funnel cake. Lots of people like it, but it only seems to exist within a theoretical pocket universe of festivals and carnivals.
Yeah, they sell pancakes premade in Walmart in the frozen foods section... but they come like 36 to a plastic bad. Microwave them with syrup on top for fast track to diabetes...
Ketchup and Mayo mixed is called 'fry sauce' and usually seen only Idaho or Utah in the US ! I grew up in Idaho and it's normal to me, but not on ribs!
I'm from Eastern Michigan and it is very common to mix Mayo and Ketchup together. Its mostly used to dip fries in but can also be mixed together for burgers and sandwiches. I personally don't mix them together since I do not really like Mayo.
Hey man can you answer me one question: Whats about these profile pics, all one colour except one white letter in it, ? Can you? because i have NO idea
If that's what you say is in fry sauce then I think they use that in big macs in the US cuz it would have a pickle-y taste to it and at the same time look like mayonnaise and ketchup mixed together
I'm living in Sweden now and there's this weird trend of "American" sodas that aren't really American... like bubble gum soda, or Snapple fruit punch... never really get an "American" brand like idk, dr pepper or A&W root beer.
Yes, rootbeer. That's my favorite. Unfortunately a lot people like Pepsi, which I loathe. Cola Cola is fine. I don't drink much soda anyway. I don't know why, but Snapple fruit punch just makes me laugh, maybe because that sounds like something so typical here in the U.S. I could easily see that being sold here as soda (or not soda i.e. not carbonated), except that Snapple was originally just flavored tea and not something crappy like fruit punch.
You can get Dr Pepper all the time at most german supermarkts since a few years. But no root beer. AND: NO CREAM SODA.Does anybody even care about cream soda? For me its like a Fluffernutter or like a PB&J. Whenever I come to USA I need to have one of these or all of them. And Welchs grape soda
cien1975 Haha, that's pretty American. Except, what's a fluffemutter? When I was a kid, it was a novelty to have a cream soda, but then I decided it's just like a weak rootbeer. I'd rather have the latter.
+NickRoman in the US "marshmallow fluff" is a kind of thick liquidy marshmallow sold in a jar like peanut butter. a "fluffer nutter" is a peanut butter and marshmallow fluff sandwich.... Super decadent but... fun to eat lol
@cien1975 Are there any "Globus" supermarkets near you? I live in Baden-Württemberg and our local Globus sells A&W Rootbeer *and* Welchs Grape. Until now, I wasn't aware those are *real* American brands! I thought of them as germanized discounter versions. The rootbeer is priced at 99 Cent/can, that's rather cheap compared to other softdrinks they have. They offered cream soda as well (Also from A&W? I am not sure, the cans were yellowish) but dropped it after just a month or so as I seemed to be the only one to ever buy it. I was addicted to that stuff! Still am to the rootbeer, Grapes not so much.
Lidl supermarket (I guess they are in Germany as well as here in Czech Republic) has these "INSERT COUNTRY" weeks - American, Mexican, Asian, Indian... etc. ... but I have to say most of the food tastes really good. With american stuff I am really satisfied with chocolate chip cookies and peanut butter. Also maple syrup for my pancakes is great. Most of it is made here in central Europe but sometimes they throw in something imported.... Once I had Canadian maple syrup from Canada and some French cheeses... which was nice - although a bit more expansive.
Wanted Adventure It was particularly funny since I was with a German who asked them what made it "German". Needless to say, they didn't have an answer. :)
Jan Hurych Root beer is a very sweet, carbonated soft drink (usually, there are alcoholic varieties) made with sassafrass or sarsparilla. (Nothing like actual beer.)
So I guess a bit like "Ginger ale" style drink with different flavor. I will have to look in Lidl during next american days - maybe they will have something at least similar. Thanks.
Blueberry juice is actually more Swedish!! And I think the "Amercian Style" pickles just means that they are Sandwich pickles, meaning they are sweeter than classic German pickles
In America the default pickle is not at all sweet, there are butter pickles sold here like that but 99% of pickles you'll get are going to be lacking any and all sweetness, its all about the sour. America is massive on its own so making 'American' things is hard because of how divided in tastes and even culture different parts of the US are, examples being TN and TX are very similar but they hate places like Alabama and Georgia who are similar, despite being near each other they have drastically different tastes and cultures.
Ok of you've ever had a whopper from burger king you should notice the sauce tastes just like mayo and ketchup combined...but I also love it on grilled home burgers and hot dogs...mayo and ketchup together is the best combination...mmmmm
I went to California this summer. In Walmart I saw a chocolate cake advertised as "German Chocolate cake" and it was the most American chocolate cake I've ever seen, you would never find that in Germany :D Oh and all the "german bakeries" sell like 4 kinds of german bread and the rest is really american. But the german bread they sell is really good but also reaaaaally expensive :D
As far as I can tell on this, it's an American style Cake but supposed to be German style chocolate. They are quite popular here in the U.S. The colour is more brown than almost black like our chocolate cakes.
Here in Texas, many things are marketed as "Mexican" when my friends and relative from Mexico have never heard of them and often think they're very odd.
It's very common in the intermountain west--especially Idaho and Utah. Its called fry sauce, and you can get it at fast food places and some restaurants.
The ketchup and mayonnaise mixed together is popular in Utah and Idaho. There we call it Fry Sauce, and you can get it everywhere. I have found that it is not too well known outside of Utah and Idaho though.
Neuzahnstein Austrian here as well! Most of my friends who moved here from Germany had a slight culture shock when they found out that you can mostly only get salty popcorn at Austrian cinemas ahaha (ich nehme an, du kommst auch aus Salzburg + Umgebung?)
A. S. In the US you have a few choices. 90% of the time you get salty and buttery but they usually serve kettle corn as well however the kettle corn is usually premade from a company.
+PATZ1984 Yeessss!! I love Fluff 😁 for a treat I like to eat peanut butter and Fluff sandwiches ❤️❤️❤️ BUT I have two things to say: in Germany the Fluff has a German language sticker on it explaining what "Americans use Fluff for," and it claims we put it in our coffee...ew, no lol that sounds gross. I would put it in hot chocolate! but not coffee. and in Germany next to the normal Fluff is often also strawberry Fluff, and I never ate that in the US. It might exist there, but it's not a "thing"...certainly not as popular as normal Fluff :)
+Wanted Adventure And they call your Sandwich a Fluffernutter on the German box. I bought it on Friday because I have wanted to try it for a while now. I think it's a bit too sweet for me at least for breakfast so I wonder what level of sweetness something has so that YOU find it too sweet ;)
Thx for you anther. I like fluff realy much too. But only the normal one too. The "tip" with the coffee I read this never before. I only know the tip for breakfast on toast or on peanut butter sandwitches. But I have to say... when I bought some fluff, I never put it on or in something... I just like to go to the glass, take a spoon, and lickt it slowly clean. But cause its so sweet, one spoon is enough for one day ^^
A couple of years ago I was in China and was really excited to find "German bakeries" all across shanghai and bought lots of traditional German bread and rolls only to find that most of them had close to nothing in common with actual German bread (ridiculously sweet and basically everything had red bean paste in it)
ein Metzger geboren in FFM der nach Wien ausgewandert ist. Da hat er die Wurst erfolgreich unter dem Namen seiner Geburtsstadt "Frankfurter" verkauft. Frankfurter sind allerdings 100% Schwein, dagegen sind bei Wiener 20-30% Rind enthalten.
Ein Frankfurter Metzger wollte etwas Neues ausprobieren und in seinen Würstchen Schweinefleisch mit Rindfleisch mischen. Das Mischen von Schweinefleisch und Rindfleisch in Würsten war aber im damaligen Deutschland streng verboten und galt als Betrug. Deshalb zog er nach Österreich und erfand dort die Wiener Würstchen in denen er die zwei Fleischsorten mischte. Aus diesem Grund enthalten Frankfurter Würstchen nur Schweinefleisch und echte Wiener Würstchen Schweine UND Rindfleisch. :)
As a German living in the US I found, that most "German" foods are actually southern German. I guess the biggest let down was "black forest ham", which turned out to be a kinda smoked "Kochschinken" and not a real "roher Schinken". Also, don't get fooled by the German Chocolate Cake. That is named after a guy named German and is not German (country) at all. World Market is actually offering a nice selection of German foods, but finding things like Quark or real "Schinken" is not so easy. At least not in NC.
I live in Austria, located right next to germany, and I was shocked when I ordered Popcorn in Berlin and it was sweet. I prefer my salty ones in Austria. You can also get sweet popcorn in Austria, but it's not very common....
FRY SAUCE! A mix of mayo and ketchup is referred to as Fry Sauce in Utah and Idaho. You will almost always be served fry sauce at any burger place in Utah. Usually most places will add a little bit of seasoning to their fry sauce but for the most part it tastes the same throughout Utah.
Mr. German Man seems adorable TBH. I don't have mayo with my fries (Canadian BTW). I prefer gravy (esp. as poutine), ketchup, or mild taco sauce. Sometimes I do have it with Alabama sauce though. Oh, I might note that sometimes you can get 'deluxe' fries (like chili cheese) and they'll come with sour cream topping them off.
I don't really know of people who do it, generally. I have seen it happen though. I can see why someone would, I've done it a few times myself, but probably no more than a handful of times in my lifetime, and I think it was mixed with other stuff (like ketchup) besides.
That Sodding Gamer So it's not exactly a regular sight. I just ask, because when you're in Germany, and you order some fries, you're usually asked, if you wanted "ketchup or mayo". The Dutch and the Belgians take it even further, though. There you'll get fries "special" - ketchup and mayo, plus raw onion dices. Or you can order fries with a spicy peanut sauce, with "samurai sauce"- some kind of hot sauce - "yoppie sauce" - don't know what's in it, but it tastes great. And you can often order "patat oorlog", which is "fries war" - everything they have in sauces and condiments on top of the fries. But afaik, something like poutine is virtually unknown in Europe, I guess. At least I have never seen anything like it, here. At German KFCs, they serve fries with "chili con carne" and cheese on top, but that's about it, I guess.
Mayonnaise and ketchup together is called Fry Sauce, it's popular in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. In many places in Oregon, Washington and Idaho you can go to fast food restaurants and see Fry Sauce dispenser right next to the regular ketchup dispenser. Not sure about the other states.
I live in idaho and ketchup and mayo is pretty common except it's called "fry sauce" and usually has more seasonings in it like garlic salt and worser shire sauce in it. usually served at fast food places
"Mormon thing" I'm just waiting for fry sauce served on green jello, preferably with cream cheese balls in the jello... it just might be the next big thing... with funeral potatoes served on the side of course.
Invented by the first people to Harvest corn, which happened to be some native south Americans. If corn would have grown in other parts of the world, those would have been the "Inventors" of Popcorn.
+Semu Robo In one sense Native Americans also "invented" corn itself, because over thousands of years they turned a puny wild grass called teosinte into what European settlers found when they first arrived (think Thanksgiving decoration ears of corn). And they also bred out its ability to be pollinated in the wild. If humans disappeared or stopped cultivating corn, it would go extinct.
Wait... What ? ! That is SO wrong, in so many different ways. You can not "POP" just any corn. You can drop kernels of Red Cob, or Silver Queen in all the hot oil in the world. ALL you will get is "hot corn". Pop Corn is a hybridized variety. And yes, the American Indians were the ones who did it.
its interesting how americanized mexican food differs from authentic mexican food. I grew up with the americanized version (hard shelled tacos with beef/lettuce/tomato/cheese, quesadillas with cheddar) never was really a fan of it. then as I got older more and more authentic places opened up and now its my favorite. al pastor, carnitas, carne asada, birria, pozole, oaxaca cheese....delicious. really puts all the "americanized" stuff to shame.
There is nothing that is "authentic Mexican food" in Mexico aside from chocolate mole, the national dish. Before the internet, if you asked for a burrito in the area surrounding Guadalajara, you would be directed to an agency to rent a motor scooter. Real Mexican cooking is a bunch of different _regional_ cuisines. And street food is different from restaurant food is different from upscale restaurant food. In the US, if you went to a "Mexican" restaurant somewhere in the Midwest or New England, you would not receive anything like what you would get in California, Nevada, Arizona, NM, or Texas. The "real" Mexican food you received in states where Mexicans were cooking for a substantial Mexican expatriate community might differ because of availability of ingredients, but you wouldn't get a "chile relleno" that was a stuffed bell pepper, as my brother was surprised by in Boston, you will get a Poblano or Anaheim pepper. What variety of food that will be on the menu will depend upon which state in Mexico dominates in the expatriate community.
+Minxable24 I've heard of the horror stories, lol. The americanized stuff isn't terrible but it definately lacks the intense flavors that makes mexican food great.
First thing: Is it Mexican or Tex-Mex food? Average Europeans normally cannot tell the difference. Anyway, both can be delicious, and for me as helf-mexican, it's the closest thing to "real" Mexican food that is affordable (Imported Mexican products are expensive here in Switzerland). Nice to hear you like the Mexican cuisine.
Premade pancakes are very common. You microwave them. They’re in my freezer now. They’re not usually sold in that type of packaging though. Usually in a box or a bag.
If you smoke racks of ribs cure with a brown sugar rub and while smoking spray with vinegar every hour for about 5 hours depending on size of rack it should give a light sweet taste to your BBQ
my grandma buys frozen pancakes and they aren't that bad. Not as good when you make them from the batter/scratch but they'll satisfy. You just have to warm them up in the microwave for like a minute and a half but they won't be fluffy though :\
It's quite typical in Belgium (and I think the Netherlands). Friet speciaal is french fries, mayo, curry ketchup and chopped onions. It's one of my favourites ;)
Kommt glaub ich auch stark drauf an, wo man her kommt. Hier im westen ist das eigentlich Gang und Gebe.. wobei es natürlich auch hier Ausnahmen gibt :D
It's funny how you can just kinda tell where a persons from just by their face. Like her boyfriend, he looks extremely German before he even opened his mouth
except when you make the russian ones... they are usually thinner than crepes and burn/ break easily. They are called blinnies in the plural, blin in the singular. The latter is also a curse-word, you use it when somethings doesn't go the way it was planned.
virushunter83 well "Chinese" food in Pakistan is different from "Chinese" food in America or any other country and of course from actual Chinese food. It's the same for every nation
Loving your videos I lived in Germany for 4 years when I was 10 to 14. I discovered Nutella and Gummi Bears in Germany. It took years for those products to get here and my kids now who are in their early thirties thought they were American products. But I am subscribed your channel and and am enjoying the videos!
9:36 In the US, ketchup and mayo mixed as a condiment is called "fry sauce". It's generally in a glass bottle, though, and it's DEFINITELY regional (I heard of it for the first time at age 37, while visiting Idaho). Bonus points for adding tons of horseradish to it after you bring it home.
Isabelle Monroe Isabelle Monroe really when I lived in Idaho no one knew what it was but in Utah it's everywhere and everyone eats it. I've lived in both places and it definitely seems like more of a Utah thing
Stupidest damn thing I ever saw! ULTIMATE lazy American thing to sell to people! Do you know how EASY it is to make home made pancake batter????? FLOUR, BUTTER, EGGS, BUTTERMILK or milk, BAKING SODA, Pinch Salt. Pinch Sugar...Water....THAT's IT.!!!! What kind of idiot would by PRE MADE PANCAKES. OPEN up a recipe book for F sake or GOOGLE it !
I think they are usually marketed to kids as something simple to make. In some households things are super hectic in the mornings and it takes a lot less time to throw some frozen pancakes into the microwave to give to their kids before they leave for school.
I've never seen premade pancakes. Frozen waffles and French toast that you can pop in the toaster, yes, but never frozen pancakes. I've seen premade pancake batter that you can just pour into the frying pan, though. I don't think I've ever seen pancakes quite this thick, either. They're like little bread cakes.
I am in Canada. We get Bluberry juices & blends here. Raspberry is a big favourite! Pancakes pre-made are Kellogg's Eggo waffles & eggo pancakes - both found in the freezer section that you pop in your toaster to heat up. we see them as an American import. I have NEVER seen a condiment that is ketchup & mayo combined - EVER. We do eat a lot of ketchup on our fries, as well as salt & vinegar. The newest trend is to dip them in plain mayo - but not the most popular. And of course, we LOVE our poutine fries! We do love our fruit pies as well as many meat pies. Taking from the English many love a good sharp cheddar cheese melted on top of Apple pies. We also love our Rhubarb jams, cobblers, and pies. As well as Saskatoon berry jams, syrups, & pies. In the east coast Partridge berry or also called Logan berry is a popular jam. Crabapple trees everywhere - Jams, jellies, syrups, and sauces - even crabapple ketchup! And of course we LOVE our Maple - Maple everything! Maple syrup, maple candies, maple butter, maple spreads, maple sugar, maple cakes & cookies. And sharp Cheddar cheeses - and BACON ! Especially maple bacon. Salmon, smoked salmon, candied salmon, and salmon caviar! Yum! In the East - its Cod, salt cod, & Cod cheeks. Jiggs dinner sooo good! Made with salt navel beef. We do love our beer and ales too. Homemade lemonade is a summer favourite. Along with iced tea. We bar-b-que a lot, even all winter long! Mostly steaks, chicken, ribs, hamburgers, hotdogs & smokie dogs! Dill pickles are a staple - with or without garlic - sliced, whole or baby dills. The more expensive brands are markets as coming from Germany. And Mustard! All kinds of mustard - again the best grainy mustards from Germany and dijon from France! We eat a lot of crumpets and English muffins - I once ordered an English muffin in Arizona and got a deep fried bread served with cinnamon & honey packets. Nothing like the English originals!
I always see blueberry juice in America. Pure blueberry juice is usually in the organic and natural section in a glass jar. The cheap brands sell blueberry juice cocktail and blueberry/cranberry mix. It's delicious.
Am I the only german who hates if german people have an accent if they talk English. 😂 English sounds so soft and i live the sound of it. But if a german person hasn't got that soft and gently "flow" I can't listen to them 😂😂😂 But even with the german accent good video ❤
Ronja Just Ronja its better than the Irish accent, depending on where your from you can either sound like a tractor, the wind or a broken horn instrument
I like the German accent in English. It actually cute :) The other way around (German with English pronounciation) makes me cringe, haha. But the cutest is when a German person speaks Norwegian with a German accent.
When I lived in the US I would see English muffins for sale that had the Union Jack or the English flag plastered all over them. We really don't eat them all that often in the UK, and when we do they're part of eggs benedict/florentine, which itself is an American dish originating in New York. The other thing which always made me a bit sad inside was tasting what passes for crumpets in the US.... just all kinds of wrong.
I googled it because I wondered. And they seem to be called baby because they are smaller than the spare ribs. By the way, from a Bavarian viewpoint, Spanferkel is no uncommon thing.
+Minxable24 Joke's on you. While you are right that "baby back ribs" doesn't necessarily have to be from a "baby", you're still quite wrong. The average pig gets slaughtered after 2-8 months, which pretty much means babies get killed.. Only the very exceptions live longer than a year.
Frozen pancakes are sold at Meijer stores and some fast food burgers come with mayo and ketchup as condiments already on the burger/bun..... Burger has buns, hamburger, american cheese, lettuce, onions, pickles, tomato, mayo, and ketchup.... Kettle corn/sweet popcorn is also pretty common in most places i've lived in the sates.
Why does Coca Cola in the U.S. taste so much better than what I had in Germany? At the military PX, the bottled/can Coke tasted the way it's supposed to. Scratch that; Coke in all the countries I've visited tasted a little off. The worst being in Kuwait. It was almost an international incident in Morocco when I asked for ice (joking). But you'd think I asked the waiter for his first-born son! I'm assuming it's to accommodate foreign tastes. Idk.
wysiwyg43: Coca-Cola often tastes different because of type of sweetener used. In USA high fructose corn syrup is used. Mexican made Coca-Cola has cane sugar. Some places use Sugar Beet sugar. Possibly Agave sugar could used. Disneyland has a pavilion that you can taste Coca-Cola from around the world. From any place where Coca-Cola is sold. Interesting place to visit.
Peter 😂😂😂😂😂 on please they don't know anything then in the Middle East lol. I happen to know that Pepsi is Jewish owned so that makes no sense at all lol.
Wait a minute... let me get this straight. Stefan's Mom bought this ketchup/mayonnaise abomination before she first met you and no one has tasted it ever since? So that would make the bottle (or was it a tube) how old? 6-7 years?! Well, it would explain the bad taste but I dearly hope they threw it away back then and this was a new one ; )
Everything Indian styled in Germany is not that great. We once found one canned sauce that was quite good, but it was something commpletely different that what it claimed to be.
AnonymMC Even in the restaurants it is difficult. The food tastes good, but it is not the same sauce I know from india. For example butter chicken. In India it is a red sauce that is creamy and not that spicy, I ordered it once in Germany and it was a yellow, spicy sauce. It tasted good, but it wasn't what I wanted to eat.....
I live in southern Wisconsin and mayo & ketchup is fairly common. That's basically what the 'special sauce' is in a Big Mac (what we make homemade 1,000 island dressing with: mayo/ketchup & pickle relish). Cute show!
hi I'm from Maine we have blueberry juice but it's more of a niche nostalgic market. it's made in small seasonal batches and most of it probably goes to places where it's used in recipes and is very condensed
Sophie Foster a LITTLE mayo on something like a sandwich or a burger is ok. but most of us can't deal with such heavy thick and rich sauce being used in large quantities or for dipping. the worst I saw was in London when I ordered fish and chips and it came with a massive bowl of mayo.... which eww. all I wanted was malt vinegar and ketchup.
Thats a really weird side for F&C to come with ... usually you have to ask for either curry sauce or mushy peas as a side. Otherwise red sauce might come with it and salt and vinegar as a definite. then again just give them the mayo back, chill. Salt and vinegar on chips is awesome.
the one that was listed as a brownie may actually be a brownie. there are also fudge brownies and just plain fudge, and that sounded to me more like what you were describing. regular fudge is especially dense, chocolately, thick, and moist. brownies and fudge brownies are usually just slightly more dense than cake and are a bit moister, but certainly not nearly as much so as just plain fudge.
The worst food you can buy in Germany that is called "American food" and is sold in a German bakery are Donuts. They taste awful compared to the real ones. So never buy Donuts in Germany with the only exception if they are from Dunkin' Donuts.
Brofights The German ones are no Donuts, they only look like Donuts but they don't taste like Donuts. If you buy a German Donut a "Berliner" is just the same.
Do you mean real donuts, with a hole in the middle, or "Berliner"? Cause Berliner are not supposed to be donuts. They are more like sweet buns with jam inside.
Kurokodairua It's the taste. A German Donut, the one with the hole, looks like a Donut but tastes like a Berliner, thus is not a real American Donut. A real American Donut tastes much different.
"American food" - corn on the cob, fried chicken, hamburger (which you would think would be German) Love the videos! My Grandfather was from Norway, so we got a bit of that cuisine when I was a kid.
I live nowhere near Utah and my mom is from Mexico. And she said my grandma mixed mayo and ketchup for fries. i guess it's just.. I don't know. probably a southern thing?
Great video!! By the way you two are such a cute couple!!! 😍
they have great chemistry!
+Leonardo Cucchiara maybe that's exactly the reason why they make such a great couple
Agreed. Great chemistry and work well together.
Yes...he's cute for a Hun-!
+Dale Burrell No, we shouldn't call the present-day Germans "Huns"...after all, we are no longer ENEMIES.
Never in my life have I had blueberry juice . Never seen it . Never heard of it. I live in the us.
I was born in it to.
Jada Mitchell V8 makes blueberry pomegranate juice, it's at walmart
It's very common in Finland.
What part did you grow up in? I think it depends on where you come from in the US. I'm from Vermont and it's definitely common in New England
I believe RW Knudsen and Bolthouse have blueberry or blueberry juice blends in the US.
I'm an American, and this past summer I was in England during the Fourth of July. A local news station had a special talking about what food Americans eat to celebrate. I guess they got it mixed up with Thanksgiving, because they made turkey balls. I've never seen it before, but it gave us a good laugh.
lol no it's the Fourth of July. hotdogs, hamburgers, corn, barbecue, and pie
But we never celebrate independence day with a meal like thanksgiving.
Turkey balls? Must of been a male turkey.
bruh lmao!
@@GiuseppeSimonetti I've never seen anyone hunting cows or pigs lol
I live in Switzerland. I always was a fan of After Eight. So when my Dad went to England he brought me a London special edition. I opened it and there was a little book on top, witch told me on its first page, its produced in Switzerland...
You can get pre-made pancakes in the freezer section. Eggo and Aunt Jamima have them
I'm half german, half italian. I can tell that both countries sell food from each other and consider it as "traditional german/italian" athough it has nothing to do with the actual original food.
For example, in Italy you can order "pizza germania" which has french fries on it. Not only is that disgusting but it's not a german thing at all.
On the other hand, while "pizza hawaii" is one of the most popular kinds of pizza in germany, not one traditional italian pizzaiolo would ever put pineapple on his pizza.
Pizza is such an interesting dish. You guys gave everyone this shared general template for how it's done, but every culture goes on and does their own thing from there. :)
What always confused me in Italy was street food stands selling wurstel con crauti in a bun. It's the most seemingly German food that i've never seen in Germany.
+adwisdog
haha oh man. Didn't know about that! I heard of pizza con wurstl and the italian kids really like it.
Talking about wurst on pizza. What Americans consider sausage on pizza is another thing that has confused me first couple times i heard about it. To me sausage is a shape not a type of meat. Same with pretzel buns, sticks etc. Pretzel is a specific shape to me not a type of dough/bread.
+adwisdog
right. Although in german we can use wurst also for a kind of very fine "chopped" meat paste like Leberwurst, wich doesn't always come in the "wurst shape".
But I agree with the pretzel thing. Thats why in german we use the word laugen- before the actual shape. Laugenbretzel, Laugenbrötchen, Laugenstange or Salzstange. I'm not sure how to translate Lauge. It's basically a lyme solution that gives the pretzel the typical color and taste. So maybe you could translate it to lyme pretzel, lyme bread... am I writing nonsense? lol
In Austria it's the same as in the US with popcorn. Usually it's salty, I've never had sweet popcorn in my life
Ah okay!! I didn't realize that. So in the movie theaters in Austria, if you get popcorn, it's usually salty? Interesting, thanks for the info :)
+Wanted Adventure exactly :) just wanted to get that out there ;)
I was so shocked, the first time i went to an austrian cinema!!! :D i thought i would get sweet popcorn... :D
+Sophie haha it's so weird that we are neighbor countries and that our popcorn habits are so different! ^^
what's about butter popcorn ? you can buy this sort of popcorn in Frankfurt
ok, after watching this and reading the comments, I now know how to make my fortune, just open a real American restaurant in Germany. you know, with free toilets and free refills, staff not afraid to talk to strangers and U.S. food that actually tastes good
I am german and you probably are right. With a good burger where actually real meat not that one styrofoam style you could make a fortune.
Refills, size,
papaver4 somniferum That’s so rude. Food in Germany is way better than US, ffs.
no it's not. Each is great in their own right but the US is a melting pot and has influences from all cultures in their own cooking
Most restaurants have free toilets so long as you are a guest there. Anything else is just a matter of tipping and some places will even let you use them when you are just passing through, so long as you ask nicely.
10:14 Mixing mayo and ketchup together creates "fry sauce" which is very, very Utah. I'm from Utah and it's my favorite thing on fries, and a ton of other foods
I wouldn't eat that weird crap from the squeeze tube though.
I mix it my self. its Delicious
Megan Rausch similar to Marie Rose sauce .. don't know if thats just U.K though :)
Megan Rausch Same in Florida!
Especially with Hispanics. Even though I never liked it, my family does
Megan Rausch I'm Puertorican and we love this. we call it mayo-kachup
Watching this made me actually want to go to Germany and try all these just to really discover how different they are :D Loved this video!
Haha most of them arent really good.
Trust me you don't want to try them. It's just a cheap brand that pretends to be typically american and some people who haven't been to america think it's cool because it's typically american...
since we germans associate american food with fat and sugar, you probably just could try a stick of butter and eat it together with pure sugar and add some spices for the flavor. that's probably quite close to the german version of alleged american food. :P
Scott Miller True true.... and let me tell you it takes a lot of time to get sugar and chemistry to the point where it tastes like food.
Alraune666 Well yes Germany produces good Marmalade, so that doesn't surprise me. But it's exactly the fact that these brands pretend to be typically American while they are not is what I don't like. I have so many German friends who buy these things just because they're American... just as I go to the store and buy things that are labled as Japanese... because I want to try it... and I think it's a shame that I might buy something that is not typically Japanese... but just something a company came up with to get people who don't know better to buy their products. And to me most of these typically American products taste like crap and are mostly Junk food. No wonder so many people think all Americans eat is junk food.
American here that had been living in Germany for the past year. I've noticed quite a few things that Germany has labeled as "American" that are a good attempt, but never live up to the real thing. One thing that I've noticed in Germany, which is no surprise, but there are no good Mexican food restaurants here in Germany. Like I said, not surprising, but I've been to places where they will incorporate cabbage into the "traditional" Mexican meals....you can't get more German than incorporating cabbage into a Mexican dish lol
When I lived in Kaiserslautern they had some pretty good Mexican food, But I did notice most of the Cooks were actually Africans!
where's sweet tea
Thomas Johnson no ice cold sweet tea
Yeah this is like THE thing people bring up when I talk to people from Europe, can't believe it wasn't here.
Tim Frost As a Texan, can confirm - you can make delicious tea with no sweetner if you brew it right. Like sun tea - somehow the heat of the sun just makes it better than brewing it over a pot of hot water.
Ya? Where's the sweet tea
Lived in Colorado for years and you kinda had to ask for sweet tea, there was just iced unsweetened tea. Now I live in Texas and like every restaurant has sweet tea. Sweet tea everywhere.
Mayonnaise and lemon juice as a butter sauce for your bread is amazing
They sell frozen pancakes in the America.
Rachel Stowe im america and i never knew they did that!
Me to wtf
Dana: it's not really American
Stephan: they say it is
Dana: I know but ----
Stephan: so it's American
Yes. Stephan is funny.
Here, in upstate New York, fresh made kettle corn is very popular at festivals, carnivals, open markets, etc. It's a mix of sweet and salty and I LOVE IT. Is it not as popular in other parts of America?
Ashley Hardy popular all around the US
Kettle corn is really popular here in the south.
I live in the Midwest where it's really just a kid thing. When your ten it's good but you don't really eat it as you get older.
Kettle corn is popular here in the south, and personally it's my favorite.
Here in Ohio it's kind of like funnel cake. Lots of people like it, but it only seems to exist within a theoretical pocket universe of festivals and carnivals.
Yeah, they sell pancakes premade in Walmart in the frozen foods section... but they come like 36 to a plastic bad. Microwave them with syrup on top for fast track to diabetes...
An Anna lol i was about to say "hasshe never been to walmart or sams club, better yet any market?"
An Anna I've only ever seen waffles at places like safe way and Walmart?
What about Eggos hahaha
words out my mouth
Ketchup and Mayo mixed is called 'fry sauce' and usually seen only Idaho or Utah in the US ! I grew up in Idaho and it's normal to me, but not on ribs!
CityLove83 my dad's from Oregon and he does it
It's popular in some Oregon restaurants
Mayo ketchup is popular with Puerto ricans too
Mara really? I'm Puerto Rican and I never knew this. I must try it!
I'm from Eastern Michigan and it is very common to mix Mayo and Ketchup together. Its mostly used to dip fries in but can also be mixed together for burgers and sandwiches. I personally don't mix them together since I do not really like Mayo.
how do you screw up marshmallows?
By forming them into "Peeps". XD
Package "Traditional Barbecue Marshmallow" My family hasn't grilled marshmallows at family barbecues through generations..
Absolute Madness mine has. Marshmallows are very traditional. Mmm smores
have you ever tried making marshmellows?
Fry sauce is the best! It's actually a combination of ketchup, mayonnaise and pickle juice or relish. Very common in North Western U.S.
Great to know!! I didn't realize that. Thanks for the info :)
Hey man can you answer me one question: Whats about these profile pics, all one colour except one white letter in it, ? Can you? because i have NO idea
I have no idea. I'm not computer savvy. I also cannot tell if you're being serious or sarcastic. My guess is sarcastic bordering on being an ass.
Yes, that is new. It is done automatically as a placeholder where people shoud put there pictures of fake portraits.
If that's what you say is in fry sauce then I think they use that in big macs in the US cuz it would have a pickle-y taste to it and at the same time look like mayonnaise and ketchup mixed together
I'm living in Sweden now and there's this weird trend of "American" sodas that aren't really American... like bubble gum soda, or Snapple fruit punch... never really get an "American" brand like idk, dr pepper or A&W root beer.
Yes, rootbeer. That's my favorite. Unfortunately a lot people like Pepsi, which I loathe. Cola Cola is fine. I don't drink much soda anyway. I don't know why, but Snapple fruit punch just makes me laugh, maybe because that sounds like something so typical here in the U.S. I could easily see that being sold here as soda (or not soda i.e. not carbonated), except that Snapple was originally just flavored tea and not something crappy like fruit punch.
You can get Dr Pepper all the time at most german supermarkts since a few years. But no root beer. AND: NO CREAM SODA.Does anybody even care about cream soda? For me its like a Fluffernutter or like a PB&J. Whenever I come to USA I need to have one of these or all of them. And Welchs grape soda
cien1975 Haha, that's pretty American. Except, what's a fluffemutter? When I was a kid, it was a novelty to have a cream soda, but then I decided it's just like a weak rootbeer. I'd rather have the latter.
+NickRoman in the US "marshmallow fluff" is a kind of thick liquidy marshmallow sold in a jar like peanut butter. a "fluffer nutter" is a peanut butter and marshmallow fluff sandwich.... Super decadent but... fun to eat lol
@cien1975 Are there any "Globus" supermarkets near you? I live in Baden-Württemberg and our local Globus sells A&W Rootbeer *and* Welchs Grape. Until now, I wasn't aware those are *real* American brands! I thought of them as germanized discounter versions. The rootbeer is priced at 99 Cent/can, that's rather cheap compared to other softdrinks they have. They offered cream soda as well (Also from A&W? I am not sure, the cans were yellowish) but dropped it after just a month or so as I seemed to be the only one to ever buy it. I was addicted to that stuff! Still am to the rootbeer, Grapes not so much.
Lidl supermarket (I guess they are in Germany as well as here in Czech Republic) has these "INSERT COUNTRY" weeks - American, Mexican, Asian, Indian... etc. ... but I have to say most of the food tastes really good. With american stuff I am really satisfied with chocolate chip cookies and peanut butter. Also maple syrup for my pancakes is great. Most of it is made here in central Europe but sometimes they throw in something imported.... Once I had Canadian maple syrup from Canada and some French cheeses... which was nice - although a bit more expansive.
German here. Yes Lidl is also common in Germany and many super markets have these country weeks.
I can also confirm the same experience :)
It is a german company dude.
I thought so :-D but was to lazy to google it :-D see you solved it.
yeah it does ^^
In The Netherlands Lidl has the same insert country :)
You've... literally never heard of frozen pancakes? How is that possible......? Did you shop at stores.......?
lol. I never have had a frozen pancake or really seen it. I've figured Eggo makes something like it but most people I know just make it from batter
Rayvn7 ive had frozen pancakes but they weren’t packaged like that and they’re not supposed to go in the toaster
Rayvn7 I live in Canada.I’ve never seen frozen pancakes the way they do frozen waffles we only have powdered box pancake batter mix ....that’s all!?
Ketchup mayonnaise with a hint of mustard and relish would be the perfect French dressing
At the Minnesota State Fair: German root beer.
+Matthew Haas haha great 😄 especially since I think of root beer as being absolutely American 😂
Wanted Adventure It was particularly funny since I was with a German who asked them what made it "German". Needless to say, they didn't have an answer. :)
What is root beer anyway? here in Czech rep (the mighty beer superpower) we dont have that ...
Jan Hurych Root beer is a very sweet, carbonated soft drink (usually, there are alcoholic varieties) made with sassafrass or sarsparilla. (Nothing like actual beer.)
So I guess a bit like "Ginger ale" style drink with different flavor. I will have to look in Lidl during next american days - maybe they will have something at least similar. Thanks.
Here in Austria, you can barely find any sweet popcorn
the kangaroos are probably eating it
That would be australia you idiot
+Wraith Frost no shit
It's getting tiresome...
Escape in the us u find sweet/Carmel popcorn at baseball ganes, but still not terriblely common
Blueberry juice is actually more Swedish!!
And I think the "Amercian Style" pickles just means that they are Sandwich pickles, meaning they are sweeter than classic German pickles
someone else commented that in Sweden there is also blueberry soup! I had no idea :)
If it is like many berry juices in America, the base juice is grape (another base juice is apple). The blueberry is just a flavoring.
Wanted Adventure
hmmm interrestiiiiing XD
sweeter than german pickles?? They have to be more vinegary. German pickles are so sweet. American pickles are usually sour.
In America the default pickle is not at all sweet, there are butter pickles sold here like that but 99% of pickles you'll get are going to be lacking any and all sweetness, its all about the sour. America is massive on its own so making 'American' things is hard because of how divided in tastes and even culture different parts of the US are, examples being TN and TX are very similar but they hate places like Alabama and Georgia who are similar, despite being near each other they have drastically different tastes and cultures.
Ok of you've ever had a whopper from burger king you should notice the sauce tastes just like mayo and ketchup combined...but I also love it on grilled home burgers and hot dogs...mayo and ketchup together is the best combination...mmmmm
My moms ex husband used to buy pre made pancakes then freeze them for a quick meal on the go. Would always find them at H-E-B (Texas grocery store)
I went to California this summer. In Walmart I saw a chocolate cake advertised as "German Chocolate cake" and it was the most American chocolate cake I've ever seen, you would never find that in Germany :D
Oh and all the "german bakeries" sell like 4 kinds of german bread and the rest is really american. But the german bread they sell is really good but also reaaaaally expensive :D
+Christine Lee
And real German Chocolate Cake is difficult to make well. You aren't going to find something that is even close in Walmart.
As far as I can tell on this, it's an American style Cake but supposed to be German style chocolate. They are quite popular here in the U.S. The colour is more brown than almost black like our chocolate cakes.
We looked into german chocolate cake- it's totally an american thing. Come on, coconut?!?
Yes, it's completely American, created by Samuel German.
It's actually named after a guy whose last name was German. Originally it was called German's Chocolate Cake. But it's definitely American.
Here in Texas, many things are marketed as "Mexican" when my friends and relative from Mexico have never heard of them and often think they're very odd.
at 10:47 its not french fries with ketchup + mayo... its mayo + ketchup with a french fry :D
+änna haha 😆 yeah, maybe that's where I went wrong...
+Wanted Adventure in belgium we mix mayonnaise and ketchup with scotch and call it cocktail sauce. Almost every belgian is obsessed with it! 😊
+sirina fickers greetings to my second home
It's very common in the intermountain west--especially Idaho and Utah. Its called fry sauce, and you can get it at fast food places and some restaurants.
Pommes Schranke!
The ketchup and mayonnaise mixed together is popular in Utah and Idaho. There we call it Fry Sauce, and you can get it everywhere. I have found that it is not too well known outside of Utah and Idaho though.
Joshua McNeely They have it in New York as well. Upstate NY but we put it on hamburgers
Lol it's fairly popular here in Arizona too
i live in austria only 45 min away from the german border and 2 h away from munich and you get the most time salty popcorn.
Neuzahnstein Austrian here as well! Most of my friends who moved here from Germany had a slight culture shock when they found out that you can mostly only get salty popcorn at Austrian cinemas ahaha
(ich nehme an, du kommst auch aus Salzburg + Umgebung?)
Nein aus Oberösterreich in der nähe von Wels ^^
A. S. In the US you have a few choices. 90% of the time you get salty and buttery but they usually serve kettle corn as well however the kettle corn is usually premade from a company.
hey, i'm from austria as well, i haven't expected that others here are from austria (bin aus da steiermark🤣)
Marshmallows originated in Egypt not the US
I have one question to you: I had often seen marshmallow cream, called fluff. And also try it. Its allways brand as american. Is it really american?
+PATZ1984 Yeessss!! I love Fluff 😁 for a treat I like to eat peanut butter and Fluff sandwiches ❤️❤️❤️ BUT I have two things to say: in Germany the Fluff has a German language sticker on it explaining what "Americans use Fluff for," and it claims we put it in our coffee...ew, no lol that sounds gross. I would put it in hot chocolate! but not coffee. and in Germany next to the normal Fluff is often also strawberry Fluff, and I never ate that in the US. It might exist there, but it's not a "thing"...certainly not as popular as normal Fluff :)
+Wanted Adventure isn't that sandwich called a fluffernutter?
+Wanted Adventure And they call your Sandwich a Fluffernutter on the German box. I bought it on Friday because I have wanted to try it for a while now. I think it's a bit too sweet for me at least for breakfast so I wonder what level of sweetness something has so that YOU find it too sweet ;)
Thx for you anther. I like fluff realy much too. But only the normal one too. The "tip" with the coffee I read this never before. I only know the tip for breakfast on toast or on peanut butter sandwitches. But I have to say... when I bought some fluff, I never put it on or in something... I just like to go to the glass, take a spoon, and lickt it slowly clean. But cause its so sweet, one spoon is enough for one day ^^
Never heard of fluff in coffee and I've been here 35 years.
"This is okay but it needs some ice" - Most american thing in the entire video.
wow you are the funnest person i've ever encountered lol can't not laugh watching these.
A couple of years ago I was in China and was really excited to find "German bakeries" all across shanghai and bought lots of traditional German bread and rolls only to find that most of them had close to nothing in common with actual German bread (ridiculously sweet and basically everything had red bean paste in it)
I always thought Wiener Würstchen are from Austria...but there they call them Frankfurter Würstchen. xD
Actually they were invented by a man called 'Wiener' who lived in Frankfurt.
Cookie Cook See? This is confusing if you don't know that!
ein Metzger geboren in FFM der nach Wien ausgewandert ist. Da hat er die Wurst erfolgreich unter dem Namen seiner Geburtsstadt "Frankfurter" verkauft. Frankfurter sind allerdings 100% Schwein, dagegen sind bei Wiener 20-30% Rind enthalten.
Ein Frankfurter Metzger wollte etwas Neues ausprobieren und in seinen Würstchen Schweinefleisch mit Rindfleisch mischen. Das Mischen von Schweinefleisch und Rindfleisch in Würsten war aber im damaligen Deutschland streng verboten und galt als Betrug. Deshalb zog er nach Österreich und erfand dort die Wiener Würstchen in denen er die zwei Fleischsorten mischte. Aus diesem Grund enthalten Frankfurter Würstchen nur Schweinefleisch und echte Wiener Würstchen Schweine UND Rindfleisch. :)
SheratanLP Das ist interessant! Danke für die Info! :)
Here in Austria popcorn is salty.
I have seen pre-made pancakes, frozen, in the USA.
As a German living in the US I found, that most "German" foods are actually southern German. I guess the biggest let down was "black forest ham", which turned out to be a kinda smoked "Kochschinken" and not a real "roher Schinken". Also, don't get fooled by the German Chocolate Cake. That is named after a guy named German and is not German (country) at all. World Market is actually offering a nice selection of German foods, but finding things like Quark or real "Schinken" is not so easy. At least not in NC.
I live in Austria, located right next to germany, and I was shocked when I ordered Popcorn in Berlin and it was sweet. I prefer my salty ones in Austria. You can also get sweet popcorn in Austria, but it's not very common....
Dana, ketchup and mayo is big in certain states like Idaho, for example, they call it fry sauce :)
Giselle Martinez, Yeah! Idaho Pride!
Heinz has come out with mayochup, so mayo and ketchup.
Great video! Yeah there are pancakes in the frozen section and have always been there. :)
The word for pickle came from northern German pókel. But pickles are native to India.
FRY SAUCE! A mix of mayo and ketchup is referred to as Fry Sauce in Utah and Idaho. You will almost always be served fry sauce at any burger place in Utah. Usually most places will add a little bit of seasoning to their fry sauce but for the most part it tastes the same throughout Utah.
Ketchup and Mayonnaise is how fry sauce is made... if no one knows what fry sauce is it is AMAZING but sadly from Utah, USA
You don't put apple sauce in apple pie😂😂
Mr. German Man seems adorable TBH.
I don't have mayo with my fries (Canadian BTW). I prefer gravy (esp. as poutine), ketchup, or mild taco sauce. Sometimes I do have it with Alabama sauce though. Oh, I might note that sometimes you can get 'deluxe' fries (like chili cheese) and they'll come with sour cream topping them off.
my parents always eat fries with mustard
Is it even known to eat fries with mayonnaise in Canada?
I don't really know of people who do it, generally. I have seen it happen though. I can see why someone would, I've done it a few times myself, but probably no more than a handful of times in my lifetime, and I think it was mixed with other stuff (like ketchup) besides.
That Sodding Gamer
So it's not exactly a regular sight.
I just ask, because when you're in Germany, and you order some fries, you're usually asked, if you wanted "ketchup or mayo".
The Dutch and the Belgians take it even further, though.
There you'll get fries "special" - ketchup and mayo, plus raw onion dices.
Or you can order fries with a spicy peanut sauce, with "samurai sauce"- some kind of hot sauce - "yoppie sauce" - don't know what's in it, but it tastes great.
And you can often order "patat oorlog", which is "fries war" - everything they have in sauces and condiments on top of the fries.
But afaik, something like poutine is virtually unknown in Europe, I guess. At least I have never seen anything like it, here.
At German KFCs, they serve fries with "chili con carne" and cheese on top, but that's about it, I guess.
I guess is depends from which province you're from? you'll see a lot of people(including me) eating fries with mayonnaise here in Quebec.
Ketchup and mayo is called fry sauce, it's very popular in Utah.
Mayonnaise and ketchup together is called Fry Sauce, it's popular in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. In many places in Oregon, Washington and Idaho you can go to fast food restaurants and see Fry Sauce dispenser right next to the regular ketchup dispenser. Not sure about the other states.
I can't help but enjoy your vids. I send best wishes to you both and hope you have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New year.
I live in idaho and ketchup and mayo is pretty common except it's called "fry sauce" and usually has more seasonings in it like garlic salt and worser shire sauce in it. usually served at fast food places
Chloe Hammon, i live in Idaho and i have only every had just plain mayo-ketchup
It sounds like a Mormon thing judging by the locations mentioned in the comments.
"Mormon thing" I'm just waiting for fry sauce served on green jello, preferably with cream cheese balls in the jello... it just might be the next big thing... with funeral potatoes served on the side of course.
Yes, popcorn is American, invented by Native Americans.
Invented by the first people to Harvest corn, which happened to be some native south Americans.
If corn would have grown in other parts of the world, those would have been the "Inventors" of Popcorn.
+Semu Robo In one sense Native Americans also "invented" corn itself, because over thousands of years they turned a puny wild grass called teosinte into what European settlers found when they first arrived (think Thanksgiving decoration ears of corn). And they also bred out its ability to be pollinated in the wild. If humans disappeared or stopped cultivating corn, it would go extinct.
salty
popcorn is just hot corn, there's nothing to invent here
Wait... What ? ! That is SO wrong, in so many different ways. You can not "POP" just any corn. You can drop kernels of Red Cob, or Silver Queen in all the hot oil in the world. ALL you will get is "hot corn". Pop Corn is a hybridized variety. And yes, the American Indians were the ones who did it.
its interesting how americanized mexican food differs from authentic mexican food. I grew up with the americanized version (hard shelled tacos with beef/lettuce/tomato/cheese, quesadillas with cheddar) never was really a fan of it. then as I got older more and more authentic places opened up and now its my favorite. al pastor, carnitas, carne asada, birria, pozole, oaxaca cheese....delicious. really puts all the "americanized" stuff to shame.
You should See what they sell as mexican food in Germany... Compared to that "American" mexican Food is much much more authentic...
There is nothing that is "authentic Mexican food" in Mexico aside from chocolate mole, the national dish. Before the internet, if you asked for a burrito in the area surrounding Guadalajara, you would be directed to an agency to rent a motor scooter. Real Mexican cooking is a bunch of different _regional_ cuisines. And street food is different from restaurant food is different from upscale restaurant food.
In the US, if you went to a "Mexican" restaurant somewhere in the Midwest or New England, you would not receive anything like what you would get in California, Nevada, Arizona, NM, or Texas. The "real" Mexican food you received in states where Mexicans were cooking for a substantial Mexican expatriate community might differ because of availability of ingredients, but you wouldn't get a "chile relleno" that was a stuffed bell pepper, as my brother was surprised by in Boston, you will get a Poblano or Anaheim pepper. What variety of food that will be on the menu will depend upon which state in Mexico dominates in the expatriate community.
+Minxable24 I've heard of the horror stories, lol. The americanized stuff isn't terrible but it definately lacks the intense flavors that makes mexican food great.
Can anybody taste the difference between german CocaCola and the Mexican version ?
Yes - there you are ! Sugar made by Monsanto !
First thing: Is it Mexican or Tex-Mex food? Average Europeans normally cannot tell the difference. Anyway, both can be delicious, and for me as helf-mexican, it's the closest thing to "real" Mexican food that is affordable (Imported Mexican products are expensive here in Switzerland). Nice to hear you like the Mexican cuisine.
Premade pancakes are very common. You microwave them. They’re in my freezer now. They’re not usually sold in that type of packaging though. Usually in a box or a bag.
If you smoke racks of ribs cure with a brown sugar rub and while smoking spray with vinegar every hour for about 5 hours depending on size of rack it should give a light sweet taste to your BBQ
I have seen pancake sold like that in the US
I've seen frozen pancakes sold here before. Not that I would ever try them ;)
my grandma buys frozen pancakes and they aren't that bad. Not as good when you make them from the batter/scratch but they'll satisfy. You just have to warm them up in the microwave for like a minute and a half but they won't be fluffy though :\
I am shocked. I love to eat fries with ketchup and mayonnaise. :D best thing ever!!! Maybe this toothpaste thing was aweful? :D
i've never seen it premade, tbh. part of the fun is to mix the sauce yourself! (and you can control how much of each you want to be in there, too...)
Pommes Schranke ftw 😂
"i've never seen it premade, tbh."
You don't know what cocktail sauce is? For real?
There's a product called "Thomy rot-weiß", it's just the same. They don't market it as "American" though.
It's quite typical in Belgium (and I think the Netherlands). Friet speciaal is french fries, mayo, curry ketchup and chopped onions. It's one of my favourites ;)
Ich mische Ketschup und Mayo immer miteinander xD also wenn ich mir rot weiß hole
richtig so, Pommes Schranke - sonst schmeckt es doch gar nicht! :D
Neee schmeckt iwie komisch xD
Ich ess auch beides zu meinen Pommes- aber nicht gleichzeitig :D
Kommt glaub ich auch stark drauf an, wo man her kommt. Hier im westen ist das eigentlich Gang und Gebe.. wobei es natürlich auch hier Ausnahmen gibt :D
Ich mische auch immer. Aber die meisten in meiner Umgebung essen Mayo dazu. Komme aus NRW...
This is the first time I see this gentleman in your videos" I'm new " but his German accent is so awesome .!
It's funny how you can just kinda tell where a persons from just by their face. Like her boyfriend, he looks extremely German before he even opened his mouth
Who the fuck is buying those pancakes. Its so freakin easy to make them "fresh".
Sorry when this sounds a little bit angry, but making pancakes is one the easiest things you can make in your kitchen.
Yes I thought that too
except when you make the russian ones... they are usually thinner than crepes and burn/ break easily. They are called blinnies in the plural, blin in the singular. The latter is also a curse-word, you use it when somethings doesn't go the way it was planned.
Maybe students in dorm rooms who don't have a kitchen?
+LauraGlorybelle If you can have a toaster, you might be able to have an electric cooking solo plate. would be great to have for each student 😊
Most ethnic food in the US, famously Chinese food, is nothing like what the natives of those countries would eat.
That's true. You could almost say all our ethnic food is just American food XD
virushunter83 It's more like street food in China and idk why they even make that? Maybe because American's wouldn't like traditional?
Joseph Damiano I have had real chinese food. It's not very good to me the flavor was close to bitter but not unpleasant just not for me.
virushunter83 well "Chinese" food in Pakistan is different from "Chinese" food in America or any other country and of course from actual Chinese food. It's the same for every nation
Everything "ethnic" in America is always Americanized.
I'm from Alaska and we eat tartar sauce with our fries.
Tara N. Dam must be cold up there. I'd love to go snowmobiling up there one day. Probably don't have good Italian food up there.
Hugh Mongus snowMACHINING
Loving your videos I lived in Germany for 4 years when I was 10 to 14. I discovered Nutella and Gummi Bears in Germany. It took years for those products to get here and my kids now who are in their early thirties thought they were American products. But I am subscribed your channel and and am enjoying the videos!
9:36 In the US, ketchup and mayo mixed as a condiment is called "fry sauce". It's generally in a glass bottle, though, and it's DEFINITELY regional (I heard of it for the first time at age 37, while visiting Idaho). Bonus points for adding tons of horseradish to it after you bring it home.
The mayo and ketchup together is called fry sauce and it's a Utah thing. It has to be mixed all together thoroughly to taste good.
Brittany Bradshaw, Idaho more, I've had fry sause from Utah, Barbecue sauce and mayo and ketchap is soooooo wrong!
Isabelle Monroe Isabelle Monroe really when I lived in Idaho no one knew what it was but in Utah it's everywhere and everyone eats it. I've lived in both places and it definitely seems like more of a Utah thing
Bradshaw... a very good Utah surname!
I see pre made pancakes in every Walmart I've ever been in America lol they're just frozen or microwaveable
I've seen waffles and the frozen breakfast sandwiches that use them as bread but I've never seen the kind that are just straight up pre-made pancakes.
Stupidest damn thing I ever saw! ULTIMATE lazy American thing to sell to people! Do you know how EASY it is to make home made pancake batter????? FLOUR, BUTTER, EGGS, BUTTERMILK or milk, BAKING SODA, Pinch Salt. Pinch Sugar...Water....THAT's IT.!!!! What kind of idiot would by PRE MADE PANCAKES. OPEN up a recipe book for F sake or GOOGLE it !
I think they are usually marketed to kids as something simple to make. In some households things are super hectic in the mornings and it takes a lot less time to throw some frozen pancakes into the microwave to give to their kids before they leave for school.
Yeah. They're bad. My friend's daughter eats them frozen.
I've never seen premade pancakes. Frozen waffles and French toast that you can pop in the toaster, yes, but never frozen pancakes. I've seen premade pancake batter that you can just pour into the frying pan, though. I don't think I've ever seen pancakes quite this thick, either. They're like little bread cakes.
Tacobell as mexican!! Not by a long shot. Burritos, nachos are very rare in Mexico.
I believe the crisp taco shell was actually invented by the guy that started Tacobell.
I am in Canada. We get Bluberry juices & blends here. Raspberry is a big favourite! Pancakes pre-made are Kellogg's Eggo waffles & eggo pancakes - both found in the freezer section that you pop in your toaster to heat up. we see them as an American import. I have NEVER seen a condiment that is ketchup & mayo combined - EVER. We do eat a lot of ketchup on our fries, as well as salt & vinegar. The newest trend is to dip them in plain mayo - but not the most popular. And of course, we LOVE our poutine fries! We do love our fruit pies as well as many meat pies. Taking from the English many love a good sharp cheddar cheese melted on top of Apple pies. We also love our Rhubarb jams, cobblers, and pies. As well as Saskatoon berry jams, syrups, & pies. In the east coast Partridge berry or also called Logan berry is a popular jam. Crabapple trees everywhere - Jams, jellies, syrups, and sauces - even crabapple ketchup! And of course we LOVE our Maple - Maple everything! Maple syrup, maple candies, maple butter, maple spreads, maple sugar, maple cakes & cookies. And sharp Cheddar cheeses - and BACON ! Especially maple bacon. Salmon, smoked salmon, candied salmon, and salmon caviar! Yum! In the East - its Cod, salt cod, & Cod cheeks. Jiggs dinner sooo good! Made with salt navel beef. We do love our beer and ales too. Homemade lemonade is a summer favourite. Along with iced tea. We bar-b-que a lot, even all winter long! Mostly steaks, chicken, ribs, hamburgers, hotdogs & smokie dogs! Dill pickles are a staple - with or without garlic - sliced, whole or baby dills. The more expensive brands are markets as coming from Germany. And Mustard! All kinds of mustard - again the best grainy mustards from Germany and dijon from France! We eat a lot of crumpets and English muffins - I once ordered an English muffin in Arizona and got a deep fried bread served with cinnamon & honey packets. Nothing like the English originals!
I always see blueberry juice in America. Pure blueberry juice is usually in the organic and natural section in a glass jar. The cheap brands sell blueberry juice cocktail and blueberry/cranberry mix. It's delicious.
Brownies did come from the US
I really like the videos with your boyfriend
As far as I know, they are married.
+Semu Robo Really? Awwww
Am I the only german who hates if german people have an accent if they talk English. 😂 English sounds so soft and i live the sound of it. But if a german person hasn't got that soft and gently "flow" I can't listen to them 😂😂😂
But even with the german accent good video ❤
*love
Deiner Meinung xD
No, you're not and I notice that alot when I'm talking english myself.
But, to be fair, it's really hard to loose that accent.
Ronja Just Ronja its better than the Irish accent, depending on where your from you can either sound like a tractor, the wind or a broken horn instrument
I like the German accent in English. It actually cute :) The other way around (German with English pronounciation) makes me cringe, haha. But the cutest is when a German person speaks Norwegian with a German accent.
When I lived in the US I would see English muffins for sale that had the Union Jack or the English flag plastered all over them. We really don't eat them all that often in the UK, and when we do they're part of eggs benedict/florentine, which itself is an American dish originating in New York. The other thing which always made me a bit sad inside was tasting what passes for crumpets in the US.... just all kinds of wrong.
I love german man and how he is so honest
A few things I've never seen here in Germany o-o
das is diese aldi scheisse XD
Nur Bei Denn´s und im Reformhaus. so richtig edel. und du fühlst dich nun vitaler und gesünder.
Baby back ribs?
Doesnt that make you cringe while eating?
It is a fucking baby taken away from its mother
I Hope that's a joke.... Google it... It's not actually from a baby Pig....
But it's a marinated and cooked baby.. ready-to-eat and absolutely delicious.
I googled it because I wondered. And they seem to be called baby because they are smaller than the spare ribs. By the way, from a Bavarian viewpoint, Spanferkel is no uncommon thing.
+Minxable24 Joke's on you. While you are right that "baby back ribs" doesn't necessarily have to be from a "baby", you're still quite wrong. The average pig gets slaughtered after 2-8 months, which pretty much means babies get killed.. Only the very exceptions live longer than a year.
Nutzername92a
It still depends on how you define a ''baby'' pig
i guess that the chocolate marshmallow thingy is supposed to be rocky-road
I've had blueberry juice before in the US, but it doesn't come as 100% blueberry. Usually it's mixed with apple or pear.
Frozen pancakes are sold at Meijer stores and some fast food burgers come with mayo and ketchup as condiments already on the burger/bun..... Burger has buns, hamburger, american cheese, lettuce, onions, pickles, tomato, mayo, and ketchup.... Kettle corn/sweet popcorn is also pretty common in most places i've lived in the sates.
Why does Coca Cola in the U.S. taste so much better than what I had in Germany? At the military PX, the bottled/can Coke tasted the way it's supposed to. Scratch that; Coke in all the countries I've visited tasted a little off. The worst being in Kuwait. It was almost an international incident in Morocco when I asked for ice (joking). But you'd think I asked the waiter for his first-born son! I'm assuming it's to accommodate foreign tastes. Idk.
wysiwyg43: Coca-Cola often tastes different because of type of sweetener used. In USA high fructose corn syrup is used. Mexican made Coca-Cola has cane sugar. Some places use Sugar Beet sugar. Possibly Agave sugar could used. Disneyland has a pavilion that you can taste Coca-Cola from around the world. From any place where Coca-Cola is sold. Interesting place to visit.
I heard they drink Pepsi in the Middle East because CocaCola is affiliated with Israel... or something like that.
Peter 😂😂😂😂😂 on please they don't know anything then in the Middle East lol. I happen to know that Pepsi is Jewish owned so that makes no sense at all lol.
Wait a minute... let me get this straight.
Stefan's Mom bought this ketchup/mayonnaise abomination before she first met you and no one has tasted it ever since?
So that would make the bottle (or was it a tube) how old? 6-7 years?!
Well, it would explain the bad taste but I dearly hope they threw it away back then and this was a new one ; )
+DerEchteBold hahahaha 😂😂 ooooh so that would explain why it was kinda green then, too 😉 just kidding, yes, definitely a new bottle!!!!
+Wanted Adventure
Haha, I just thought about if you still have time to answer comments...
...and Hey Presto! there you are ; )
Everything Indian styled in Germany is not that great. We once found one canned sauce that was quite good, but it was something commpletely different that what it claimed to be.
You can find some good Indian restaurants, but ingredients to cook your own food? Not so much.
AnonymMC Even in the restaurants it is difficult. The food tastes good, but it is not the same sauce I know from india. For example butter chicken. In India it is a red sauce that is creamy and not that spicy, I ordered it once in Germany and it was a yellow, spicy sauce. It tasted good, but it wasn't what I wanted to eat.....
I live in southern Wisconsin and mayo & ketchup is fairly common. That's basically what the 'special sauce' is in a Big Mac (what we make homemade 1,000 island dressing with: mayo/ketchup & pickle relish). Cute show!
hi I'm from Maine we have blueberry juice but it's more of a niche nostalgic market. it's made in small seasonal batches and most of it probably goes to places where it's used in recipes and is very condensed
What are you eating this is definitely not American 😂😂😂
Tori Williamson because most of your foods are from other countries like hot dogs,fries and burgers
The Romans made pancakes
Whats with Americans and mayo .. they all say it on Buzzed too ...why y'all hate mayo
Sophie Foster I love it idk why ppl here don't like it
Sophie Foster I love mayo ~ haha
Sophie Foster a LITTLE mayo on something like a sandwich or a burger is ok. but most of us can't deal with such heavy thick and rich sauce being used in large quantities or for dipping. the worst I saw was in London when I ordered fish and chips and it came with a massive bowl of mayo.... which eww. all I wanted was malt vinegar and ketchup.
Yeah, malt vinegar on fries is awesome.
Thats a really weird side for F&C to come with ... usually you have to ask for either curry sauce or mushy peas as a side. Otherwise red sauce might come with it and salt and vinegar as a definite. then again just give them the mayo back, chill. Salt and vinegar on chips is awesome.
the one that was listed as a brownie may actually be a brownie. there are also fudge brownies and just plain fudge, and that sounded to me more like what you were describing. regular fudge is especially dense, chocolately, thick, and moist. brownies and fudge brownies are usually just slightly more dense than cake and are a bit moister, but certainly not nearly as much so as just plain fudge.
In the US you can get frozen pre-made pancakes and waffles in the freezer section of any supermarket.
The worst food you can buy in Germany that is called "American food" and is sold in a German bakery are Donuts.
They taste awful compared to the real ones.
So never buy Donuts in Germany with the only exception if they are from Dunkin' Donuts.
I actually prefer the German ones because they aren't that sweet. But I guess everybody likes something else
Brofights
The German ones are no Donuts, they only look like Donuts but they don't taste like Donuts.
If you buy a German Donut a "Berliner" is just the same.
Do you mean real donuts, with a hole in the middle, or "Berliner"? Cause Berliner are not supposed to be donuts. They are more like sweet buns with jam inside.
Kurokodairua I mean the ones with the whole in it, berliners suck.
Kurokodairua
It's the taste. A German Donut, the one with the hole, looks like a Donut but tastes like a Berliner, thus is not a real American Donut.
A real American Donut tastes much different.
ewwwww i think the mayo and fries is a southern thing. when i moved to Virginia that was somthing they ate.... ewww so gross.
DINADIVA82 wait, I'm southern and love way down in Texas, we only use ketchup, or better yet Whatburger spicy ketchup on our fries. ;)
It may be a Virginia area thing. I've seen people dip their fries into either ketchup or mayo, but never both & I live in Minnesota.
Martha Loven it could be a Virginia thing. Va is a odd place to live. it's not all the "southern" but definitely not northern
Valerie Foster lol who knows Virginia is odd it might be a Va thing
it's also Midwestern I love mayonnaise!
Hallo An Alle Leute In Deutschland Oder bin ich der einzige ????
"American food" - corn on the cob, fried chicken, hamburger (which you would think would be German)
Love the videos! My Grandfather was from Norway, so we got a bit of that cuisine when I was a kid.
I'd never tried (or even heard of) the ketchup/mayo mixture until I was assigned to Giessen, Germany. I came to LOVE the mixture!
Americans don't have ketchup and mayo combined
Victoria Wright Utah!
Nicole G oh I live no were close to Utah that's why
Victoria Wright i mix those two all the time at school and eat them with my fries
I live nowhere near Utah and my mom is from Mexico. And she said my grandma mixed mayo and ketchup for fries. i guess it's just.. I don't know. probably a southern thing?
Rubber Luffy I live in the south (Florida) and I don't see that maybe it's my state or area
