No, Maggi is hydrolized wheat protein. It does not contain Maggikraut (Liebstöckel or lovage in english) and never did contain it. It has only a comparable taste but that is more a coincidence than anything else.
All regular soy sauce is mostly made from wheat. It has higher gluten than anything else. It sent me to the hospital, but it was how my gluten allergy was finally diagnosed. I special order gluten free Tamari sauce. I suppose Maggi would send me to the hospital too. 🙁
You should try French bread, Czech beer, German sauerkraut and British sausages, all in the same meal. It will give you a taste of what it is like to live in the EU.

Germany is one of the most popular countries, with the biggest amount of breads, pretzels and other lovely stuff. And pls leave the packages with salad sauce stuff in the Store.. they´re awefull ;)
Oh! I lived in Germany for several years. I LOVE the potato salad you get with meals! One thing I missed dearly was good old US beef jerky. I tried a lot of different sausages but nope--just wanted that beef jerky.
I’m happy to know this is still around. I went to the old store (this one seems much larger) a couple times a year in the 90s. I went by the old location last winter and was bummed it was no longer there. Thanks for sharing.
really? Is wrote a comment alf aminute ago about Spezi and that I' didn't spot it in the video! Then I would guess they have "Paulaner Spezi"? Probably easier for them because much bigger brewery/company and easier to contact or do they even have the oiginal "Spezi Orange"? I'm just curious!
I worked with a guy from Russia for a while and he said that in the eighties when he was a teenager that all Russians had to do two years of service if I remember correctly in the Russian military and he was stationed in east Germany as a border guard (on the wall in east Berlin) it was fascinating to talk to him about his experiences as a Soviet soldier in the cold war (as we called it) Your story of the woman you met reminded me of him., Love the store!! I wish there was something like near me!! My grandmother on my Dads side was born in Germany and my grandmother on my Moms side was half German, while my grandfather (Moms side) was Swedish. I would love to go to Europe and visit those places but I have not yet...Thanks for the video!!
There are several kinds of cucumber in glasses: - the vinegar stuff - "Salzgurken", which are produced by lactic acid fermentation - Senfgurken which are pickled too but with a lot of Mustard and usually more sugar and then boiled down So there's great variaty and I prefer "Spreewaldgurken" called "Spreelinge" ^^
In Fleischsalat you‘ll never finde cole slaw! And: german groceries do have soy sauce - normally different types of it!!!Maggi by the way is a completely different product!
When I lived close to D.C. friends of mine tooke me to the Bavarian Inn in Shepherdstown WV. It was an amazing experience to eat such a good German food in the US.
Omg when I was an Au pair in Arlington I used to take my kids to the German gourmet all the time and we all loved it 😁 so weird to see that place in your video now!
They have better "wurst" and "käse" than in the most supermakets, in my home town. 😍 greetings from castrop-rauxel (i now you can't spell that town) in germany.
Funny I come across this only a year later :) wonder how that bread tasted in the end! My favourite comment: my boyfriend loves gummies... Made me think of Gummis which in German has quite a different meaning, as you know for sure 🤣🤣🤣
I saw your video last night and went there today! Thanks so much for sharing this!! I lived in Germany for 5 years, and haven't been back for 8 years but still miss so many German things!
This is actually quite funny - a fellow UA-camr from Toronto who lives in Berlin did a German grocery store video just a couple of days ago, and she stumbled upon the very same Pumpernickel bread and was also wondering what exactly was up with the couple in the photo. If you want Senf that's not so spicy as in not spicy at all you should try the blue one ("süßer Senf"). I myself really dislike the taste of regular Senf but the sweet one I love. Fleischsalat is pretty hit and miss though even here. There's some incredibly crappy ones out there which seem to have been carefully engineered to provide the most disgusting taste ever. Since I can never remember which are the bad ones and which the good I usually stay clear of all of them at the supermarket. But it's nice to see they sell authentic German products instead of local products that are just made to look like German. I remember I once saw a "Black Forest gateau" at the Delhi airport which sure had all the ingredients of the original but apart from that it looked as if the person who made it had never ever seen the original. It was clearly an Indian product just made to look German, probably designed after a washed-out photo of the original. Although I never traveled to West Germany by train during the days of the Cold War, we often did family trips by car as my father's family is from West Germany. And because we were traveling with two dogs we always had to have them examined by the official GDR border vets which could take several hours before we were allowed to enter the transit highway. Yes, back in the times of the wall a car trip from Berlin to Hamburg (~250 km, less than an hour by ICE now) would easily take you a day - just the one way car ride. So glad these times are over! Oh, and just to give credit where credit is due: The wafer thingies you were showing are actually Austrian. Speaking of Austria: One thing I have to strongly disagree with you on: Maggi Würze - which there was probably not a single household in Germany in the seventies and eighties that did not have at least one bottle of it at any given time - does not taste like soy sauce at all! That's blasphemy! Proof: I don't like soy sauce but like all civilized human beings I like Maggi Würze. You should be praying I won't tell the Maggi gods about your sin next time I go to Switzerland!
+ Thiesi Maggi was inventend in 1886 and since then has been in every German household (especially for stews and soups).. until 2005 it was actually made with soy! They then changed it and only use wheat! So Kelly is not so wrong to say that it tastes a bit (!) like soy sauce..
Ulrich Lehnhardt Interesting. I personally find its taste to be significantly different from that of soy sauce. And yes - I particularly remember how we added it to basically all stews my mom ever made. When we were preparing for dinner and setting the table, getting the big bottle of "Maggi" out was as natural as putting salt, pepper, and cutlery on the table. And that also explains why I don't buy it and probably haven't bought it ever since I moved out of my parents' house: I can't cook so I never make stew. I wonder though how many bottles of it the average German of that generation has consumed during their life? ;-)
well, of course you are right that it IS not soy sauce and you should not use it instead of soy sauce but the taste can remind you of it. I perhaps use two small bottles a year.. I try not to exaggerate. Maggi is not the high art of cooking. You better try to create taste without using Maggi - but we all fail sometimes, don't we?
Ulrich Lehnhardt Yeah, I can see now how its taste does resemble that of soy sauce in some way. It might not be the high art of cooking but I find it quite remarkable that there's something out there you can actually add to so many different dishes. As I said - I can't cook but I can heat up stuff and I totally see myself adding it to meat and other stuff, probably even to salads, in the near future. Just have to go out and buy it. Will also go for the small bottle for starters though just to see how it goes.
+ Hauke Holst: kommt auf die Fleischtheke an. Wenn Du die Fleischtheke im Supermarkt meinst, dann ist der Fleischsalat aus dem Eimer und der Gleiche wie der Abgepackte. Bei einem echtem, guten und sauberen (!) Fleischer ist der Fleischsalat ein Gedicht. Ich persönlich kaufe aber nur noch den Abgepackten, da der frische schon öfter bei mir zu Magen/Darm Probleme führte (bin da aber auch empfindlich). Mir persönlich schmeckt der Abgepackte von POPP am Besten - (Homann geht noch so lala) alles andere ist eigentlich nur schrecklich!
If you should happen to visit southern California you should take a trip to Torrance and visit a place called Alpine Village. They have an Alpine Arts store, Alpine Clock Sales & Repair, Cosmetics, Toys & Gifts, Travel, Shoe Shop, Collectible Books, a sausage & wurst, beer (of course), grocery store, bakery, cafe & Deli and even a wedding chapel. They also have a really nice restaurant and a beer garden. Oktoberfest will make you think you are in Germany. All the shops are in a small village setting and include things like a dentist (really) and hair salon. Check out their website.
Wow! I'm impressed! They really have all the essentials - from a German perspective 😉 And it was so cute to hear this mixture of awe and excitement when you saw the - extremely essential 😍 - bread and cake section! Why not make another video taste testing the cakes? Different ones over a period of time (maybe again with the bf for the male German POV?), honoring the German tradition of Kaffee und Kuchen!
i love your idea!!! especially as it involves eating a lot of cake hahaha i will look into this for sure :) and i'm glad you enjoyed this video. i really was excited. i don't think i really stopped smiling the whole time i was there.
Kelly does her thing Hey, I'm German so I have many ideas and excuses involving eating cake 😉 Another one would be finding like-minded people and having a regular sonntägliches Kaffeekränzchen! Can't get more German than that 😂 And as I am in the right mood now, I think I'm going to make myself some coffee and find this nice piece of cake my mother made yesterday....
I've been to the German Gourmet a few times, love the deli for lunch! Been a while though, now I need to visit again soon lol. I work in Falls Church a lot so there's no excuse for me not to stop in again :) Love your content, I'm a fellow youtuber in the automotive space.
You should create an interview section asking people at the store why they especially buy that German stuff. So, as you've mentioned already, you might be able to share a bunch of interesting stories that way! Good luck :o)
The french may think they are the best at pastries and sweets but we have them beat and only loose to the Austrians. (And we copy them pretty well if they do beat us in that department xD
I usually don't comment on UA-cam, but when you mentioned Nierstein, I just had to. My boyfriend is from there and I love that town and the vineyards :) And the wine from there really is great!
Fun Fact to the beer shown at 1:07 (Moosbacher): I'm very surprised to see it in the store since the beer is from a private brewery in a very small village in Bavaria. The town has
I don't know what kind of "Fleischsalat" you're used to, but in Bavaria, where I live, "Fleischsalat" is "Lyoner" and pickles in stripes in mayonnaise. In no way is coleslaw ever part of the equation. It's easily one of my favourite things to eat on bread.
that was just me trying to describe it to Americans who have never seen Fleischsalat before since the closest thing we have to it is coleslaw. strips of meat in mayo probably could've done the trick but it sounds so strange haha
@@Kellydoesherthing I guess I get what you mean, but seriously, I don't even like coleslaw. I would not touch that, if someone described it to me that way 😂 But I really like your videos, just so you know....thanks for answering!
I also travelled by train from West Germany, across the Berlin Corridor, to West Berlin. That was from Cologne. It was quite an experience. That was in September 1989. Yeah, just two months before that ended.
People here in the Saarland go crazy for it and I never got why. I sometimes put some into a soup but that's about it. And if I cook something I'd rather use fresh Liebstöckel.
Depends on which food it is applied to. For Fleischsuppe and eggs, it is nice, and Grillhähnchen tastes much better with Maggi. There is even a chef who uses it for some type of salad!
Maggi would not be my favorite seasoning and for someone who doesn't know it, it would give the advice to use it very carefully. Otherwise everything will just taste of this stuff and you will ruin the dish.
An interesting thing I noticed is when Kelly tells us about all the people she met in this German store who were complete strangers, but were quite willing to talk at length to her, one even recounting her memories from living in Germany. Is behavior like that typically German?
crappiefisher 13 Since the people she was talking to were either born in Germany who moved to the US or born in the US of German heritage (as we phrase it), the openness they exhibited could be a proof of the strength of environment over genetics, or nature over nurture. Or the adaptation of fruit.
yeah i would agree that at least "culture" is not in your "blood" aka genes.. i would even assume that someone who moves from germany to america - or vice versa - after 10 years living in their new country would become more american/german, because of adopting the cultural norms of the new society they live in
My belief is that the reason American's are so easy to strike up a conversation with strangers is due to the immigrant factor, that when everyone is away from home, with no friends, and are feeling uneasy, they are much more willing to show kindness to strangers. This, I believe is the American friendliness that is often mis-characterized by Europeans as falseness.
ah i don't remember seeing that particularly but maybe!

You can see a Poppy Bishop Hat (never heard of Bischofsmütze, though I found recipes for it), so they make stuff with poppy paste; maybe even Mohnschnecken.
lazyperfectionist1 expensive for a German grocery store in Germany. But is it expensive compared to groceries in that area? Kelly told us in a previous video she was shocked how pricy everything is in the D.C. area.
ofc it is the price per LB, but still expensive.. if i am not wrong 1 LB is about 500 grams, even a little less.. in germany you would pay (depending on the brand) about 5 euro including tax already (about 5.90$) for 2.2 LB (1 kilogram) but i also think that is nothing to wonder about. first of all the US in general is more expensive compared to germany when it comes to food... add the fact that she lives in the DC area and there you go...
The Melba brand is from the netherlands, i worked summer jobs in the factory, also most of the wafers are made in the same village as the Melba stuff. Dutch shops have a lot of the same stuff and brands as germany, so it is nice to see that dutch people could get a lot of knows foods in such stores in america
Paprika chips!! So delicious! We moved to Portland last summer, after living in Munich for 3 years. I recognize just about all of those items. How fun! I need to do some research on whether or not we have something like that here. Thanks for taking us along!
Löwensenf extra from Düsseldorf is indeed really spicy- it is the german variant of Dijon mustard. German pickles are notably sweet sour that is they contain vinegar& a lot of sugar/sweetener Yuck.
Ad Lockhorst Depending on the salad, of course. As you can see every cold thing with a hint of vegetable can be called salad like Heringssalat or Fleischsalat or Kartoffelsalat which usually (mostly) contain mayonnaise, but that is also a question of where you live- northern vs southern germany , Kartoffelsalat with oil vs. with mayo
he was able to get a non-immigrant visa to be here for a bit :) it's quite the process that i knew nothing about but am now far more familiar with haha
Kelly does her thing Yes, keep the good potential immigrants out by making it hard as hell and let the illegals come in randomly through the Southern border. Isn‘t it great? 😂
I have no freaking clue why this channel was thrown on my suggested videos feed by youtube a few weeks back. But i have even less freaking clue why i love these videos so much. :D And that fleisch salat......have no idea why people in germany love these things so much. But meeeeeh :D
Unbelievable. They really have a lot of things we are used to here in Germany. I think this is really nice to those who moved to the U.S. and want to remember the original taste from home. :)
I used to work just up the road from this store. They have a lunch menu! I went with my wife and kids just a few weeks ago. We mostly bought deli stuff. :)
Ok, I know where I'm headed this coming weekend! Mom's birthday is Monday, 84, and my schwäbisch Mädl is getting treated. Oma's going to be huge smiles for a month or two. I'm from Riestal the meteorite crater dividing schäbische from fränkisch albs kreis Nördlingen. Lived all over Berlin kreuzberg and Neu köln, Kaiserslautern, heidelberg-schwetzingen, stuttgart-vaihingen, Frankfurt am main, nürnberg, münchen, Augsburg, pirmasens. If they have frickadelen and döner I'm all over this place. I see my trunk and back seat full already. Best of all my Mamas precious smile and sparkling eyes. Danke schön!
Stuff in Germany I have never seen here in The Netherlands are Eszet schnitte and Kaba Fit. And there was another milk additive. Somehow I remember it as being called "Buttermilch" but it was not buttermilk.
There was a strong German cultural center in North Jersey centered around. West New York. You could go to a pork store and it was like walking into a traditional Fleischerei. It would always bring back memories of my year in Berlin when I was a kid. I wonder time those stores still exist.
The German garlic barrel pickles are where it's at. A lot of the products I'm seeing on the shelves are available to me at my local military commissary.
Food Tubes are super easy to use we have them in Sweden too. I always thought Knorr was Swedish but it's German, but at 5:50 you can see hard bread with the brand name Wasa and that's Swedish.
Kelly (& Misha); you are both so fun to watch and learn from! Guten tag from Canada... I am 1/2 German on my mother's side, (she is from Celle, another very beautiful city) I was fortunate to visit Germany in 1990, with my parents and my much-adored Oma. It was very soon after the Wall came down, and a trip I remember with so much love and happiness. We travelled over 2,000 kms. by car...Munich, Mainz, Kassel, Hessen, Ulm, Düsseldorf and Wolfenbüttel (both staying with relatives), Celle to see my mom's childhood home, Uelzen, Bremen, Berlin, and the beautiful Bavarian Alps and Neuschwanstein (have you been there?) There's definitely more but I can't remember them all! We were so lucky to stay as guests in the most quaint and friendly gasthäuser, ate such amazing food every day, and learned so much about this stunningly beautiful country! I completely agree with so many points you have said in your videos. OMG, the Autobahn is incredible! To me it was like we were driving on glass, not a single bump, crack, pebble... and SO much pride in the history of the cities and marktplatz areas-- no litter, no graffiti, all the gorgeous timber buildings so beautifully restored and cared for. It was a time that I will never forget and I sooo wish I could take my husband and 2 children to see what we did 😢 Thankfully, through youtube, I've shared a lot with them, and given them a tiny taste of part of my heritage. I so wish this store was here in Canada... when I was young, my Oma and Opa took me to several homey, quaint German bakeries/delicatessens near their home (near Toronto). From what I can tell, only 1 remains that I am SURE I have been to. We will definitely have to go. Just the atmosphere of places like that make me teary, remembering the smells, the delicious food I ate, the Gummibears and chocolate ladybugs they would surprise me with. My Oma passed away from Alzheimer's in 2007, and I learned so much from her (and my Opa too) We played endless games of Mensch Ärgere Dich Nicht and Mülhe, baked plum cake, and made Kalter Hund. I grew to love sauerkraut, we had the Farmer's rye bread open-faced for lunch with ham, liverwurst or salami, and jam with toast or cake as a mid-day treat. I have Stollen at Christmas in their honour, and a million other memories. You are very fortunate to have spent time living there Thank you for these fun videos! --Kristina
If you can´t get Mainzer Käse, just try Harzer Käse or Harzer Roller which is a very similar thing. Harzer Roller is just formed into smaller portions and usually five of them are stacked.
I live in a small village. Closest "town" has 3000 people living there. You can buy soy sauce at the Edeka and Rewe there... I don't know what you're on about but that's grocery stores. And that in the deepest part of Bavaria. We are not big fans of stuff that is different and it's still sold here
Es gibt auch eine Pflanze die wird " *Maggikraut* " genannt. Sie schmeckt getrocknet und gemahlen wie Maggi. Im deutschen Supermarkt findest du dieses Gewürz unter " *Liebstöckel* ". Anstatt Maggi kannst du es auf Blumenkohl oder Rosenköhler tun. Aber auch Nudeln mit Butter und nur Liebstöckel schmecken wunderbar. (Schnelles Studenten Essen, wenn die Kasse knapp wird). de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liebstöckel
With our own supermarket food becoming more and more narrowed in selection and artificial in quality, it is good to see that some of the artisan aspects of German food (bread, cake, sausage, meat, beer, sweets to say the least) do survive somewhere else. It needs a decent turnover to be able to keep so many different types of fresh food on stock. Amazing!

I worked with a guy from Russia for a while and he said that in the eighties when he was a teenager that all Russians had to do two years of service if I remember correctly in the Russian military and he was stationed in east Germany as a border guard (on the wall in east Berlin) it was fascinating to talk to him about his experiences as a Soviet soldier in the cold war (as we called it) Your story of the woman you met reminded me of him., Love the store!! I wish there was something like near me!! My grandmother on my Dads side was born in Germany and my grandmother on my Moms side was half German, while my grandfather (Moms side) was Swedish. I would love to go to Europe and visit those places but I have not yet...Thanks for the video!!
those German dessert looks awesome, thx Ms.Kelly
they really do!! i'm thinking about going back and getting some today
There are several kinds of cucumber in glasses:
- the vinegar stuff
- "Salzgurken", which are produced by lactic acid fermentation
- Senfgurken which are pickled too but with a lot of Mustard and usually more sugar and then boiled down
So there's great variaty and I prefer "Spreewaldgurken" called "Spreelinge" ^^
In Fleischsalat you‘ll never finde cole slaw! And: german groceries do have soy sauce - normally different types of it!!!Maggi by the way is a completely different product!
the majority of my videos are viewed by non-Germans so i was trying to compare it to a product Americans are familiar with
@@Kellydoesherthing That's fine. Maggi is actually a Swiss Product.
Thanks for new finding , I'm going this weekend.
Awesome!! Tell them you saw it on Kelly Does Her Thing Lol maybe they remember me
When I lived close to D.C. friends of mine tooke me to the Bavarian Inn in Shepherdstown WV. It was an amazing experience to eat such a good German food in the US.
Awesome!! I just took note of it in case I’m ever out that way :)
Omg when I was an Au pair in Arlington I used to take my kids to the German gourmet all the time and we all loved it 😁 so weird to see that place in your video now!
Great vlog! A really nice shop, could be a lifesaver somehow. :)
thanks!! and yes, for sure!
Thank you so much for this video...I’m from PA as well I’m planning a trip to German Gormet this weekend.
They have better "wurst" and "käse" than in the most supermakets, in my home town. 😍
greetings from castrop-rauxel (i now you can't spell that town) in germany.
Funny I come across this only a year later :) wonder how that bread tasted in the end!
My favourite comment: my boyfriend loves gummies... Made me think of Gummis which in German has quite a different meaning, as you know for sure 🤣🤣🤣
Step 1: Take the nusspli
Step 2: be happy for rest of year
Not a opinion a fact.
I saw your video last night and went there today! Thanks so much for sharing this!! I lived in Germany for 5 years, and haven't been back for 8 years but still miss so many German things!
This is actually quite funny - a fellow UA-camr from Toronto who lives in Berlin did a German grocery store video just a couple of days ago, and she stumbled upon the very same Pumpernickel bread and was also wondering what exactly was up with the couple in the photo.
If you want Senf that's not so spicy as in not spicy at all you should try the blue one ("süßer Senf"). I myself really dislike the taste of regular Senf but the sweet one I love.
Fleischsalat is pretty hit and miss though even here. There's some incredibly crappy ones out there which seem to have been carefully engineered to provide the most disgusting taste ever. Since I can never remember which are the bad ones and which the good I usually stay clear of all of them at the supermarket.
But it's nice to see they sell authentic German products instead of local products that are just made to look like German. I remember I once saw a "Black Forest gateau" at the Delhi airport which sure had all the ingredients of the original but apart from that it looked as if the person who made it had never ever seen the original. It was clearly an Indian product just made to look German, probably designed after a washed-out photo of the original.
Although I never traveled to West Germany by train during the days of the Cold War, we often did family trips by car as my father's family is from West Germany. And because we were traveling with two dogs we always had to have them examined by the official GDR border vets which could take several hours before we were allowed to enter the transit highway.
Yes, back in the times of the wall a car trip from Berlin to Hamburg (~250 km, less than an hour by ICE now) would easily take you a day - just the one way car ride. So glad these times are over!
Oh, and just to give credit where credit is due: The wafer thingies you were showing are actually Austrian.
Speaking of Austria: One thing I have to strongly disagree with you on: Maggi Würze - which there was probably not a single household in Germany in the seventies and eighties that did not have at least one bottle of it at any given time - does not taste like soy sauce at all! That's blasphemy! Proof: I don't like soy sauce but like all civilized human beings I like Maggi Würze. You should be praying I won't tell the Maggi gods about your sin next time I go to Switzerland!
+ Thiesi Maggi was inventend in 1886 and since then has been in every German household (especially for stews and soups).. until 2005 it was actually made with soy! They then changed it and only use wheat! So Kelly is not so wrong to say that it tastes a bit (!) like soy sauce..
Ulrich Lehnhardt Interesting. I personally find its taste to be significantly different from that of soy sauce. And yes - I particularly remember how we added it to basically all stews my mom ever made.
When we were preparing for dinner and setting the table, getting the big bottle of "Maggi" out was as natural as putting salt, pepper, and cutlery on the table.
And that also explains why I don't buy it and probably haven't bought it ever since I moved out of my parents' house: I can't cook so I never make stew.
I wonder though how many bottles of it the average German of that generation has consumed during their life? ;-)
well, of course you are right that it IS not soy sauce and you should not use it instead of soy sauce but the taste can remind you of it. I perhaps use two small bottles a year.. I try not to exaggerate. Maggi is not the high art of cooking. You better try to create taste without using Maggi - but we all fail sometimes, don't we?
Ulrich Lehnhardt Yeah, I can see now how its taste does resemble that of soy sauce in some way.
It might not be the high art of cooking but I find it quite remarkable that there's something out there you can actually add to so many different dishes.
As I said - I can't cook but I can heat up stuff and I totally see myself adding it to meat and other stuff, probably even to salads, in the near future. Just have to go out and buy it. Will also go for the small bottle for starters though just to see how it goes.
+ Hauke Holst: kommt auf die Fleischtheke an. Wenn Du die Fleischtheke im Supermarkt meinst, dann ist der Fleischsalat aus dem Eimer und der Gleiche wie der Abgepackte. Bei einem echtem, guten und sauberen (!) Fleischer ist der Fleischsalat ein Gedicht. Ich persönlich kaufe aber nur noch den Abgepackten, da der frische schon öfter bei mir zu Magen/Darm Probleme führte (bin da aber auch empfindlich). Mir persönlich schmeckt der Abgepackte von POPP am Besten - (Homann geht noch so lala) alles andere ist eigentlich nur schrecklich!
If you should happen to visit southern California you should take a trip to Torrance and visit a place called Alpine Village. They have an Alpine Arts store, Alpine Clock Sales & Repair, Cosmetics, Toys & Gifts, Travel, Shoe Shop, Collectible Books, a sausage & wurst, beer (of course), grocery store, bakery, cafe & Deli and even a wedding chapel. They also have a really nice restaurant and a beer garden. Oktoberfest will make you think you are in Germany. All the shops are in a small village setting and include things like a dentist (really) and hair salon. Check out their website.
Wow! I'm impressed! They really have all the essentials - from a German perspective 😉 And it was so cute to hear this mixture of awe and excitement when you saw the - extremely essential 😍 - bread and cake section! Why not make another video taste testing the cakes? Different ones over a period of time (maybe again with the bf for the male German POV?), honoring the German tradition of Kaffee und Kuchen!
i love your idea!!! especially as it involves eating a lot of cake hahaha i will look into this for sure :) and i'm glad you enjoyed this video. i really was excited. i don't think i really stopped smiling the whole time i was there.
Kelly does her thing Hey, I'm German so I have many ideas and excuses involving eating cake 😉 Another one would be finding like-minded people and having a regular sonntägliches Kaffeekränzchen! Can't get more German than that 😂 And as I am in the right mood now, I think I'm going to make myself some coffee and find this nice piece of cake my mother made yesterday....
I've been to the German Gourmet a few times, love the deli for lunch! Been a while though, now I need to visit again soon lol. I work in Falls Church a lot so there's no excuse for me not to stop in again :) Love your content, I'm a fellow youtuber in the automotive space.
I have this stuff in my supermarked 😂😂😂 lmao
P.s. hello and (Guten Tag ) from Germany 😊🇩🇪😂
You should create an interview section asking people at the store why they especially buy that German stuff. So, as you've mentioned already, you might be able to share a bunch of interesting stories that way! Good luck :o)
Those desserts looked effing amazing !
right??
The french may think they are the best at pastries and sweets but we have them beat and only loose to the Austrians. (And we copy them pretty well if they do beat us in that department xD
I usually don't comment on UA-cam, but when you mentioned Nierstein, I just had to. My boyfriend is from there and I love that town and the vineyards :) And the wine from there really is great!
What a small world! And that wine is great :) I love that area - it’s so beautiful. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment :)
Nice and quite authentic looking german store, but I'm always shocked again and again how expensive food is in the US.
Diese Preise sind so krank teuer
Fun Fact to the beer shown at 1:07 (Moosbacher):
I'm very surprised to see it in the store since the beer is from a private brewery in a very small village in Bavaria. The town has
I don't know what kind of "Fleischsalat" you're used to, but in Bavaria, where I live, "Fleischsalat" is "Lyoner" and pickles in stripes in mayonnaise. In no way is coleslaw ever part of the equation. It's easily one of my favourite things to eat on bread.
that was just me trying to describe it to Americans who have never seen Fleischsalat before since the closest thing we have to it is coleslaw. strips of meat in mayo probably could've done the trick but it sounds so strange haha
@@Kellydoesherthing I guess I get what you mean, but seriously, I don't even like coleslaw. I would not touch that, if someone described it to me that way 😂
But I really like your videos, just so you know....thanks for answering!
@@Kellydoesherthing strips of meat and pickles in mayo is exactly that it is :)
This store is great - I wish we had it even here! ❤️ The ice cream makes me really curious 😋
I would survive in DC, good to know
They should have used the metric system in my opinion.
I also travelled by train from West Germany, across the Berlin Corridor, to West Berlin. That was from Cologne. It was quite an experience. That was in September 1989. Yeah, just two months before that ended.
Using Maggi is somewhat like a crime. Should be an own chapter in the criminal law. For producers, dealers and consumers.
People here in the Saarland go crazy for it and I never got why. I sometimes put some into a soup but that's about it. And if I cook something I'd rather use fresh Liebstöckel.
Depends on which food it is applied to. For Fleischsuppe and eggs, it is nice, and Grillhähnchen tastes much better with Maggi. There is even a chef who uses it for some type of salad!
Maggi would not be my favorite seasoning and for someone who doesn't know it, it would give the advice to use it very carefully. Otherwise everything will just taste of this stuff and you will ruin the dish.
maraboo72
maraboo72 i couldn't agree more, it is a serious crime to taste.
You guys simply have no clue
...I'm from Saarland
Hey Kelly, brand new subscriber, I’m in the UK. I’m binge watching your videos, love your energy. Plus it’s really interesting ☺️
An interesting thing I noticed is when Kelly tells us about all the people she met in this German store who were complete strangers, but were quite willing to talk at length to her, one even recounting her memories from living in Germany. Is behavior like that typically German?
crappiefisher 13 Since the people she was talking to were either born in Germany who moved to the US or born in the US of German heritage (as we phrase it), the openness they exhibited could be a proof of the strength of environment over genetics, or nature over nurture. Or the adaptation of fruit.
yeah i would agree that at least "culture" is not in your "blood" aka genes.. i would even assume that someone who moves from germany to america - or vice versa - after 10 years living in their new country would become more american/german, because of adopting the cultural norms of the new society they live in
My belief is that the reason American's are so easy to strike up a conversation with strangers is due to the immigrant factor, that when everyone is away from home, with no friends, and are feeling uneasy, they are much more willing to show kindness to strangers. This, I believe is the American friendliness that is often mis-characterized by Europeans as falseness.
this shop looks so cool, nice vid!
I take it you will find the families of the German diplomats and journalists buying there.
i wonder! i didn't even think to ask the owner about that
Titamiva A lot of American military people too who were stationed in Germany and miss the food.
Great energy and enthusiasm! I like how these experiences and places bring people together..
Thanks for sharing!
thank you!! and i completely agree :)
Pickles are so salty... thats because you eat the salty ones 😂😂😂 there are sweet ones too
Awesome store, they even got Schneider Weiße beer! You can't go wrong with those, i like pretty much all of their varieties.
A lot of these beers I haven't seen sold in Germany either 😂
How is the pricing on these products ?
haha they're expensive for germany standards but for DC/US standards, they're about right on target
$ 4.99 for a jar of pickles *is* quite pricy by German standards.
I was stationed in Baumholder German. Rheinland Pfalz area. I loved my 2 years in Europe
did they have MOHNSCHNECKE ? :>
ah i don't remember seeing that particularly but maybe!
You can see a Poppy Bishop Hat (never heard of Bischofsmütze, though I found recipes for it), so they make stuff with poppy paste; maybe even Mohnschnecken.
I worked one summer in 2005 in Münster, such a nice city. That looks like a fun store!
Pretty sure any regular grocery store has soy sauce here, unless you're in a dorf.
They have definitely some at the EDEKA in the Luther-King Siedlung. And i bet REAL has it too ;)
But one that only got an Tante Emma laden! 😅
3:15 LOL we have in Czech Republic theses too, it´s called "Pikok" and it´s sooo "old-fashioned" XD
8:03 Yikes! Now _that's_ expensive!
lazyperfectionist1 expensive for a German grocery store in Germany. But is it expensive compared to groceries in that area? Kelly told us in a previous video she was shocked how pricy everything is in the D.C. area.
Maybe the "LB" behind the price means "price per pound", and not for the small container shown?
Heinz Yes, the Lb is the abbreviation for pound (odd that it involves the letter "L", I know) and means $8.99 per pound as an example.
it's lb because it originates from libra pondo = weighted pound.
ofc it is the price per LB, but still expensive.. if i am not wrong 1 LB is about 500 grams, even a little less..
in germany you would pay (depending on the brand) about 5 euro including tax already (about 5.90$) for 2.2 LB (1 kilogram)
but i also think that is nothing to wonder about. first of all the US in general is more expensive compared to germany when it comes to food... add the fact that she lives in the DC area and there you go...
The Melba brand is from the netherlands, i worked summer jobs in the factory, also most of the wafers are made in the same village as the Melba stuff.
Dutch shops have a lot of the same stuff and brands as germany, so it is nice to see that dutch people could get a lot of knows foods in such stores in america
DEEEUUUTSCHLANNDDDDD
Paprika chips!! So delicious! We moved to Portland last summer, after living in Munich for 3 years. I recognize just about all of those items. How fun! I need to do some research on whether or not we have something like that here. Thanks for taking us along!
Löwensenf extra from Düsseldorf is indeed really spicy- it is the german variant of Dijon mustard.
German pickles are notably sweet sour that is they contain vinegar& a lot of sugar/sweetener Yuck.
Ad Lockhorst Depending on the salad, of course. As you can see every cold thing with a hint of vegetable can be called salad like Heringssalat or Fleischsalat or Kartoffelsalat which usually (mostly) contain mayonnaise, but that is also a question of where you live- northern vs southern germany , Kartoffelsalat with oil vs. with mayo
Ad Lockhorst i am german but have never consciously eaten eisbein in my whole life...
One of my favorite of yours so far!
Aw thanks Kristina!! I’m trying to improve with every video :)
You do with all of your videos...I’m just stoked by this store!
how was the bread Kelly?
OMG Almdudler. I had forgotten all about that. I drank that on holiday in Austria all the time.
off topic:so your bf followed you to DC?that´s dope
He has a month's time off from work.
he was able to get a non-immigrant visa to be here for a bit :) it's quite the process that i knew nothing about but am now far more familiar with haha
Kelly does her thing Yes, keep the good potential immigrants out by making it hard as hell and let the illegals come in randomly through the Southern border. Isn‘t it great? 😂
I have no freaking clue why this channel was thrown on my suggested videos feed by youtube a few weeks back. But i have even less freaking clue why i love these videos so much. :D
And that fleisch salat......have no idea why people in germany love these things so much. But meeeeeh :D
Unbelievable. They really have a lot of things we are used to here in Germany. I think this is really nice to those who moved to the U.S. and want to remember the original taste from home. :)
I used to work just up the road from this store. They have a lunch menu! I went with my wife and kids just a few weeks ago. We mostly bought deli stuff. :)
I've only spent 2 days in Germany, but after seeing how in love with Germany you are. I might have to spend some more time there 😂
Ok, I know where I'm headed this coming weekend! Mom's birthday is Monday, 84, and my schwäbisch Mädl is getting treated. Oma's going to be huge smiles for a month or two. I'm from Riestal the meteorite crater dividing schäbische from fränkisch albs kreis Nördlingen. Lived all over Berlin kreuzberg and Neu köln, Kaiserslautern, heidelberg-schwetzingen, stuttgart-vaihingen, Frankfurt am main, nürnberg, münchen, Augsburg, pirmasens. If they have frickadelen and döner I'm all over this place. I see my trunk and back seat full already. Best of all my Mamas precious smile and sparkling eyes. Danke schön!
Danke für dieses Video. Wünsche dir und allen die das Video sehen, guten Appetit.
Greetings from Germany
Stuff in Germany I have never seen here in The Netherlands are Eszet schnitte and Kaba Fit. And there was another milk additive. Somehow I remember it as being called "Buttermilch" but it was not buttermilk.
There was a strong German cultural center in North Jersey centered around. West New York. You could go to a pork store and it was like walking into a traditional Fleischerei. It would always bring back memories of my year in Berlin when I was a kid. I wonder time those stores still exist.
The German garlic barrel pickles are where it's at. A lot of the products I'm seeing on the shelves are available to me at my local military commissary.
Amazing that they have Aufsesser Beer. That brewery is tiny and is located in a quite rural area.
Kelly I love your videos! I was stationed in Pirmasens many years ago and I still miss it.
Thank you!! And I completely understand. I miss it too and it’s only been a few months :(
Food Tubes are super easy to use we have them in Sweden too. I always thought Knorr was Swedish but it's German, but at 5:50 you can see hard bread with the brand name Wasa and that's Swedish.
oh i didn't know that! thanks :)
Kelly (& Misha); you are both so fun to watch and learn from! Guten tag from Canada... I am 1/2 German on my mother's side, (she is from Celle, another very beautiful city) I was fortunate to visit Germany in 1990, with my parents and my much-adored Oma. It was very soon after the Wall came down, and a trip I remember with so much love and happiness. We travelled over 2,000 kms. by car...Munich, Mainz, Kassel, Hessen, Ulm, Düsseldorf and Wolfenbüttel (both staying with relatives), Celle to see my mom's childhood home, Uelzen, Bremen, Berlin, and the beautiful Bavarian Alps and Neuschwanstein (have you been there?) There's definitely more but I can't remember them all! We were so lucky to stay as guests in the most quaint and friendly gasthäuser, ate such amazing food every day, and learned so much about this stunningly beautiful country! I completely agree with so many points you have said in your videos. OMG, the Autobahn is incredible! To me it was like we were driving on glass, not a single bump, crack, pebble... and SO much pride in the history of the cities and marktplatz areas-- no litter, no graffiti, all the gorgeous timber buildings so beautifully restored and cared for. It was a time that I will never forget and I sooo wish I could take my husband and 2 children to see what we did 😢 Thankfully, through youtube, I've shared a lot with them, and given them a tiny taste of part of my heritage.
I so wish this store was here in Canada... when I was young, my Oma and Opa took me to several homey, quaint German bakeries/delicatessens near their home (near Toronto). From what I can tell, only 1 remains that I am SURE I have been to. We will definitely have to go. Just the atmosphere of places like that make me teary, remembering the smells, the delicious food I ate, the Gummibears and chocolate ladybugs they would surprise me with. My Oma passed away from Alzheimer's in 2007, and I learned so much from her (and my Opa too) We played endless games of Mensch Ärgere Dich Nicht and Mülhe, baked plum cake, and made Kalter Hund. I grew to love sauerkraut, we had the Farmer's rye bread open-faced for lunch with ham, liverwurst or salami, and jam with toast or cake as a mid-day treat. I have Stollen at Christmas in their honour, and a million other memories. You are very fortunate to have spent time living there
Thank you for these fun videos! --Kristina
this is so funny. in the video i watched before this the person was talking about the same photo of the same bread :D
For other fans of German food in the D.C. area, there's also the Döner Bistro in Leesburg.
I think you can buy soja sauce at almost every grocery store in DE. Or also sambal olek, if you want that.
I live quite near Münster, but I´ve never heard anything about "Pinkus"... :-D
If you can´t get Mainzer Käse, just try Harzer Käse or Harzer Roller which is a very similar thing. Harzer Roller is just formed into smaller portions and usually five of them are stacked.
Ob Winter oder Summer, trink ich meinen Guntersblummer!
I live in a small village. Closest "town" has 3000 people living there. You can buy soy sauce at the Edeka and Rewe there...
I don't know what you're on about but that's grocery stores. And that in the deepest part of Bavaria. We are not big fans of stuff that is different and it's still sold here
Es gibt auch eine Pflanze die wird " *Maggikraut* " genannt. Sie schmeckt getrocknet und gemahlen wie Maggi. Im deutschen Supermarkt findest du dieses Gewürz unter " *Liebstöckel* ". Anstatt Maggi kannst du es auf Blumenkohl oder Rosenköhler tun. Aber auch Nudeln mit Butter und nur Liebstöckel schmecken wunderbar. (Schnelles Studenten Essen, wenn die Kasse knapp wird). de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liebstöckel
This Grocery Store is great i went to this as i was stationed 3 years in Reston Virginia which is not so far from Falls Church
You should try " Aufsesser" Beer it is brewed in a little Brewery in my Region :D Highly recommened :D
Oh jaeh, they have got home made german bread here, this makes my day!
Hahaha, so funny.
With our own supermarket food becoming more and more narrowed in selection and artificial in quality, it is good to see that some of the artisan aspects of German food (bread, cake, sausage, meat, beer, sweets to say the least) do survive somewhere else. It needs a decent turnover to be able to keep so many different types of fresh food on stock. Amazing!
Quite amazing that you’ve acquired a liking of so many German foods during an 18months stay in Germany!
Damn, they have so much stuff! Really cool that the store seems to work well
It really is!
