5 classic German foods you should give a try

[@blandrooker6541]

Not as exciting, but what I miss the most about living in Germany is the bread. European breads are far superior to the bread we have in America, primarily due to the difference in the type of wheat used. To this day, I can walk into a European bakery here in the US and with one smell, I can tell if they've imported their flour, it actually smells differently. A Brotchen with butter, plain and simple, and I'm in heaven.

[@bobrik335]

very true ! US breads and many other foods are low quality :(...

The thing is not different wheat but that we use rye for many breads an darker Brötchens. You cant even come close to the taste when using only wheat.

Yeah, here in the US we don’t really eat bread in the same way that Europeans do. We use bread mostly for sandwiches and that’s probably about it. There really isn’t a culture here of going to a bakery and getting “good” bread.

[@ThomasGeist]

Just a quick correction: Professionally made pretzels are never coated in diluted baking soda. That’s for some home cooks. What is used is 4% sodium hydroxide lye. Only that way you get the real typical aroma.

[@conser_2404]

Don’t you get the same aroma with baking soda because sodium hydrogen carbonate and water partially react to sodium hydroxide?

[@ThomasGeist]

@@conser_2404 I would say no. The color doesn’t seem the only difference. Baking soda used gives a lighter look and the “lye bread” taste is less deep IMO.

[@TheKikori]

@@conser_2404The baking soda solution has a different pH I think. Also I would assume the hydrogen carbonate/carbonate add a bit of a different taste than pure sodium hydroxide

It is flavoured high quality long grained rich which is especially grown for this dish, well cooked butter soft potatoes mixed with light flavoured spice, High quality mutton meat should be tendor and juicy and then all the ingrediant are cooked in dum style (Light flame cooking for long period of time) 2) Chicken Chaap: It is also a royal dish served durinbg Nawab times in India. Chicken leg piece which is cooked on a small flame and maikn key ingradient is cashwenut paste and garam masala and cooked with pure Ghee. Its flavour and smell can be felt from a distance of 100 metre. 3) Shahi Tukra: It is another royal dessert which is served after the main course dish. It is bread slice dipped in thickened milk and top is flavoured with cardamom powder and alot of dry fruits nuts includiong pistachio, almond slice. 4) Palak Paneer: Its is cottage cheese with spinach sauce puree. Cottage cheese is light half fried in pure ghee and then different spice is mixed with spinach paste and minced garlic is added as a flavour. 5) Beef Nihari: It is a myth that beef is not served nin India where as there are well 10 states in India where beef is mostly used. Indian states like Goa, Kerala, West Bengal, Sikkim, Arunachal Pradesh, etc etc. This dish was again originated in Old Delhi in the royal kitchen of Mughals. This dish was served ikn early morning times for the workers to provide them with that food which can fill their stomach for prolomge period of time. It is basically beef, mutton cooked in low flame overnight and a lot of special spices are used and it is a form of curry where roots of poppy plants is used along with 5 special spice which is only used in this dish.

Spanish food has the most premium pork meat in Europe, and possibly in the world: papada ibérica, secreto and presa ibérica (literally like pork wagyu), chorizo, jamón serrano, lomo adobado, torreznos, cochinillo de Segovia (equally good, if not better roast than german pork knuckle in my experience), sobrasada, and the list goes on.

We have a similar dish here in the Philippines called crispy pata, although it is served with vinegar-soy sauce, I'll want to try it with spices and gravy next time like you do in Germany!

[@daudkaun3807]

When I went to Germany, I made sure to have all of those (except the ice cream), and it was all fantastic. I did this because my classmates said Germany had the worst cuisine in Europe so I had to be the judge of that.

[@auraluna7679]

Where do you come from? Did your classmates ever tasted german food?

[@hanswurst7817]

Ahhh such a pity, the spaghetti ice is my favourite

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

It's simply that there isn't a single german cuisine. There are dozens. Each area has sort of it's own stuff. Just like they used to be their own countries just Less than 160 years ago. Pretty sure your classmates just wanted you to try german food and went with some reverse psychology.

My favorite German food is müsli, I can eat müsli everyday, several times a day. Generally the breakfast cereals are way better than US, I always buy these oat pops, but it seems all cereals are manufactured in a place called Lübeck. Kölln Haferfleks are a staple, I make so many things from them like pralines, cereal bars etc

For being the DW you could've spelled the Pretzel as Brezel please 😉

3:42 That twisting is like a ballet pirouette.

[@u.s.1974]

at 4:32 "the pretzel is undeniably the flagship of German baking." Maybe if you sail under the wrong flag. The breadroll id the flagship, because you can get it all over Germany in many varieties and under a lot of regional names. The Brezel rarely makes it north of the river Main, which is a good landmark between Northern and Southern Germany. Brezel am Arsch....

[@jackscheppert]

idk. Kamps has a pretzel in their logo. they started in Düsseldorf, and they've reached Kiel by now.

Berliner Hühnerfrikasse. And of course that highlight of Indian-German fusion cuisine, the Currywurst

beg to differ, the only indian thing about the currysauce is the TRACES of curry powder in the sauce, which is light sauce with tomato.

If you sre trying to make spaghettieis at home try a potato ricer and make sure it is on you can kill as it may bend undet pressure. Also, use LOTS of ice cream like 3 scoops in the ricer as once it pancakes it wint go through. You can repress the pancake for the next one. ;)

Bruh, the inflation! 😂😂 1,80 DM for spaghetti ice? That’s 0,90€ (or rather: would have been in 2001/02 when we switched to Euro). Nowadays you’re lucky to find plain spaghetti for under 5-6€. Even in my teens (2000s), I can’t remember seeing a portion for under 4€.

ChatGPT Your video introduces five fantastic dishes, but I'm surprised and a bit disappointed that you didn't mention "Schnitzel"! This quintessential German classic, especially pork schnitzel or "Schweineschnitzel," is incredibly popular and often more common than pork knuckle. It's a staple in many German households and restaurants, making its omission from your list of classic German dishes quite surprising.

[@hevog]

My favourite German dish is 'Grünkohl mit Pinkel', which roughly translates to masterly cooked kale with hearty, rich and juicy Oldenburg style pork sausages served with potatoes. That's my personal German culinary heaven.

[@rajatanshu]

German food is amazing & yet to catch fancy of Indians.. I wish there had been a great German Eatery in North India …

[@karlstriepe8050]

What type of foreign cuisines do well in India?

[@rajatanshu]

@@karlstriepe8050 It’s Chinese( Punjabi Chinese ) i.e. Indianised to such an extent that it hardly recognisable😀. Seriously, Indian Culinary landscape is so diverse that most people love trying out different regional cuisines rather than foreign. In Mega Cities, Italian, Chinese, Oriental cuisine is popular among the elite. Not to mention US junk food conglomerates which have made roads into India like KFC, Dominos, McDonalds and the like.

@@mrnuckle9584 yes, the Döner as it is eaten in germany is an invention of turkish immigrants in the 70s in germany. the turkish döner is quite different to the german one in the way its prepared and served and what ingredients are used.

[@mrnuckle9584]

@@zhufortheimpaler4041 No actualy not. The Döner was eaten in Turkey for hundreds of years. The difference between the turkish and the so called 'German' Döner is that the Döner in germany is partly industrialised. It is like calling the Hamburger american even though it is german. The first Gastarbeiter came in 1955 and the Döner was brought here in 1972. So please go ahead and explain me how the turkish people in turkey made döner 16 years before that? It is not about the ingredientes or the way it is served, Döner in Turkey is served in many ways for example iskender or in a bread or yufka so called dürüm. I dont unterstand the fact that a random turk came to germany as a Gastarbeiter and blandy claimed that he is the one who invented Döner as we know here in germany without any evidence. It is not german it is Turkish.
