My mother (Irish descent) and Dad (German) had a small convenience store and made a meat salad from the left-over ends of lunch meats and with mayo and spices. It was a favorite item in their store.

I am Dutch, so from the Netherlands and I lived most of my life in Arnhem (Arnheim) and I would frequently go to Germany for fuel and grocery shopping and curry wurst was always one of the items, for sure, was currywurst. In the 6,5 years I lived in Gdansk, Poland I never saw it, but guess what, here in Athens Greece they had it for 1 week at the Greek Lidl. In 2 varieties. And also 1 week there was Dutch kibbeling.

[@nagihandikici6345]

Jen, you are right about döner. I think:🙂 there is a two-type döner to I know. Those are Turkish döner and German Döner. in my opinion, German Döner was created in Berlin. And the German Döner kebab is originally from Germany. Of course, I am not an expert. But I live in Istanbul as a Turkish😊. And I lived for the last two months in Berlin. For the first time, I ate German döner at the turkısh restaurant in Berlin. The döner there was different than Istanbul's döner. That was unlike any doner that I eat in Istanbul. The preparation and content of the meat are also very different. Also, I saw that it was selling as a German doner kebab in Dubai. Maybe, Turkish people have created a different kind of doner than traditional Turkish doner by adding interpretation. When I talked with the döner shop's owner, they had mentioned that they were trying to make it suitable for the taste of Germany.

In the South of Germany and Austria potatosalad with mayo is a No Go.

[@pitpatify]

In the south Fleischsalat also does not contain mayo (and it is called Wurstsalat)

[@Ralf-CGN]

I can completely live without Fleischsalat. And Sauerkraut once a year is also ok. But I can't live without german bread. Was I Beijing for some weeks. Every bread was made with a ton of sugar. It was a hard time.

[@jessicanicolebelmonte6252]

Growing up in a german community in South America, and based on the literature and teachings of "Entsandlehrer" at our schools, I was under the impression that "Kartoffel" was up there with Bier, Sauerkraut and Bratwurst.

[@m.m.2341]

Oh it is, especially among older people. My grandma basically eats potatoes every day, she rarely eats other carbs.

[@travelvideos]

I would add pfannkuchen to the list. Just walking down the street in Rügen, I smelled that somebody is cooking pfannkuchen. Felt very nostalgic. Have not cooked pancakes for years.

[@jessgo2958]

When I was small my grandmother gave me a thick slice of "Sauerteigbrot" with butter and "grober Landleberwurst". I loved it! Now my older son became a vegetarian and convinced us to join him. If I will ever return to the meaty fraction it will be because I miss this kind of "Butterbrot". Mayonaisesalads never (zu schmierig), cabbage sometimes, Schorle always, beer sometimes (at the Wiesn or a soccergame). Now I am hungry and I think I will prepare a Gemüsesuppe (with Rosenkohl too).

[@simplegermany]

Hahaha hope the soup was yummy 😉

[@rickyn1135]

My heritage is Irish/English/Italian and I love Sauerkraut. My Grandmother use to make it fresh in the winter,and bury it in the snow. Warm Sauerkraut with soften apple slices,black pepper with caraway seeds is my favorite & the purple kraut. Some are much much better than others,that’s for sure.

[@patriciamillin1977]

That actually sounds quite delicious, although I’ve never been a big fan of Sauerkraut. My aunt used to “brown” it a little, so it didn’t taste quite so sour. My heritage is English/German

[@rickyn1135]

@@patriciamillin1977 In USA we have several Sauerkrauts that I’ll classify as Crisp & Crunchy,Super Crisp & typical Jarred & Fermented. I enjoy the latter. One secret for me,drain the liquid or most of it. Draining will severely reduce the sour/acidity flavor. Cabbage is a cruciferous Super Food and fermenting it adds all kinds of good bacteria. Maybe that’s why Germans are trimmer & Live longer? You have Happy Insides.

[@patriciamillin1977]

@@rickyn1135 I think my aunt actually did drain it, maybe that’s why hers wasn’t so sour. I never made it myself, I only ever ate it at my aunt’s or in the canteen at work. In recent years I have unfortunately developed intolerances to certain foods, incl. Sauerkraut.

[@Marymationnn]

I actually am gluten-intolerant and I’m moving to Germany, but funny enough in Munich there are options of both gluten-free bread and even gluten-free beer 😀 And it’s much easier to find than in my country, which is super cool because I actually love bread but can only eat the gluten-free version. Also love the currywurst dish because it comes without bread, unlike most other meals of fast food world.

Westfalische salami, that's what I always got at InterMarché and LeClerk (yes, Poland has French supermarkets)

[@Kivas_Fajo]

For the Shrimp Cocktail. Cocktail sauce usually is being made with a tiny amount of Cognac, which almost never is in the Shrimp Cocktail sauce. Give it a try. A few drops and it will enhance the taste tenfold. If you want to try making cocktail sauce by yourself here is how I do it. First i rub the bowl out with garlic, but I don't add garlic pieces to the sauce. Creme Fraiche, Mayonnaise(the egg variant, not the salad milkpowder variant), ketchup, paprika powder (sweet), s&p, little vinegar, tiny amount of cognac. Mix that and leave it be for say 20 minutes to "soak". The rubbing with garlic only perfumes it...

[@patchybeardman]

i grew up with fleischkäse, apfelschrole, and kartoffelsalat!

[@dancelord0708]

We love oure bread, because it´s the easyts and cheapest way, to fill your stromach. Whith Wurst, Mett, Käse, Quark, Marmelade oder Honig. If it gets a little dry, mix some eggs with salt and pepper and dump breadslices in it. Then put it in a pan. Goldenbrown and delicious!

The best German pancake is made with apples baked inside with powdered sugar on top. My grandmother who was born in Cologne made them on top of the stove in a castiron frypan not in the oven. The pancake was thick and the size of a 10" pan. She made them one at a time for each of us who sat quietly at the breakfast table. The apples were soft but not mushy like canned apples.

But afaik there are two kind of germans when it comes to butter/margarine: Those who put butter and Nutella on their bread roll and those who use just Nutella without butter. And Germans are also „divided“ into butter vs. margarine. I like both, but I use margarine on a daily basis. Butter on the other hand is a must for Mettbrötchen. 🤤🤤🤤

I don't like "Sauerkraut" very much. I could live without it. Also "Rosenkohl". Which i do like is "Rotkohl". But i don't eat it on a regular basis. I love beer, und couldn't live without it 😀. But it must be german beer, because german beer is the best beer in the world. But i don't like every brand (some of the are even giving me a headache already during the first bottle). I could, but i don't want to live without "Döner" 😀. LIving witout meat and wurst? No way. Living without bread? Possible. But do i want to? I guess not.

I'm already aware that this 'topic' is a whooole science of its own. 😂 Bier is a beverage but it's also nourishing, it's an (mostly and normally) an alcoholic drink, but it's also tradition and the most OK'd in public and for any occasion.. So what does one make of all of it combined? I think they're going to touch on drinks/beverage in more detail, so you're right - BIER does fall under the food and the beverage categories altogether. 😂

Wonderful video: Creative, informative, funny! My 2 Pfennige: Fleischsalat: No ham but sausage - Fleischwurst. Cabbage: Love it but don't eat it often. Mostly in Winter. My favourites are Wirsing (savoy cabbage) and Blumenkohl (cauliflour). 9:40 Jen getting into German: "Jo, jo!" Döner: This is the story I believe! But the sales points frequently are a disgrace: Chains with cheap crap disguising as "Döner". Buyers beware! Agree to the last point: Can't live without German bread!!
