*There's no such thing as general German cuisine/food.....except for foods manufactured by brands, that can be bought everywhere in Germany. Dishes can/will vary, the cuisine in Germany is very regional.....dishes can taste very different, because in one region they use some other ingredients/seasonings/spices than in another. The cuisine in Bavaria is very different to the Northern states, even inside Bavaria you will find dishes that taste different from town to town, city to city.....a Münchner Brezn (Munich pretzel) taste different to a Bretzel from Swabia. The "German mac and cheese" are called Kasspatzln (in Tyrol (Austria)) or Kässpätzle/Kässpatzn ( in Swabia) and are mixed in hot condition with grated hard cheese like Emmental cheese and covered with fried onions. Mostly they will be served with dressed leaf salads or regional potato salad.* 🥨🧀🥗🍖🥘🥣🍽️

[@NicholasCorvin]

*Normally it's more likely to eat something richer, before you drink beer, so that the alcohol don't affect you too much, but I'm from Bavaria and we also have the stronger beer.....* 🍖😈🍺

If you need recipes or someone to explain to you how to make German food yourself, please let me know! I live in Bavaria, so I've known since birth how to make proper schnitzel, potato salad, roulades, etc.! Feel free to contact me! I also have family in the USA.

Mett is subject to very strict and high quality and hygiene regulations in Germany. No meat-altering additives may be used or contained. Mett rolls are very popular in Germany and can be eaten without any concerns. Prepared with just salt, pepper and raw onions on top, they are simply delicious.

- the Wiener schnitzel is made from veal, the classic German schnitzel is made from pork. The name is also legally protected. A "Wiener-style" schnitzel is not a real Wiener schnitzel, it is just similar. - Mett is subject to the strictest regulations, like every food in Germany. You won't find Mett anywhere that isn't fresh. We have "Mettwoch" here, derived from Mittwoch (Wednesday). The Mett roll is sacred to us and is also the perfect snack when you're out and about in the city on a stressful day. - Mustard goes with pork knuckle - We usually only eat potato pancakes with apple sauce. - The Holstein schnitzel with egg is actually available in Germany :) - Wasps exist, it depends on the time of year and whether we had a cold or mild winter. Bakeries naturally attract wasps. The most important thing is to keep calm, they don't sting for no reason. And be careful, killing a "pollinator" can result in a fine of up to 50,000 euros in Germany. This year, for example, I hardly saw any wasps. When we have a barbecue, we set up a wasp buffet at a safe distance. An hour earlier. This attracts wasps and they concentrate on them, so that later on you have much more peace and quiet at your own table.

[@Muck006]

You can easily tell if Mett isnt fresh anymore from the colour, which is pink-reddish and if the clump gets "cut" you can see the actual fresh colour.

[@Alias_Anybody]

Even a "Viennese style" Schnitzel made of turkey or pork is NEVER eaten with sauce or gravy applied. Pouring anything over a breaded Schnitzel making it soggy is a taboo in Austria to the point people mock German tourists for it.

As a Brit that moved to Germany 13 years ago I can confirm that the food is good. The grated potato cake she minced the name of I believe is called Reibeküchen (Ryber Kooken). popular snack, especially in the Xmas markets. I live 70km from Köln (Cologne) so know those places well. If you visit Köln and like chocolate then you should visit the "Choclate Museum". Its not far from the centre and next to the Rhein (Rhine). When I moved here I started working for a German company, my boss took me out to lunch at an Imbiss (lunch restaurant). He claimed it had a 100 different types of Schnitzel. That turned out to be 1 type of Schnitzel with 100 different sauces...... Finally, I live in a small village with a good social life. We were invited to join the village at the grill hut (a log grill cabin on the edge of a forest) When we arrived one of the guys doing the cooking greeted me by taking a Grillwurst in some tongs, and waving it about and asked if i would like a "Fcuking German Sausage".............

Kässpätzle are not a German Version of Mac&Cheese. Spätzle are no noodles. Not at all. Spätze are a suebian spaciality. Noodles are made of Durum wheat semolina and Water. And you can dry them to keep them as a stock. Spätzle are made of wheat flour, eggs, Water and salt. And you can't dry them. They are scraped fresh into the boiling water or pressed with a spaetzle press. There is absolutely nothing comparable in American cuisine. Spaetzle can be eaten fresh from the boiling water with sauce to a roast. Leftover spaetzle can be fried in a pan the next day. Or you can make Kässpätzle out of it. Spaetzle and cheese are alternately layered into a casserole dish. The last layer is cheese and the whole thing then goes into the oven. When serving, roasted onion and fresh chives are added.

Dear Debbie I moved here from America over 40 years ago and am also allergic to bee and wasp stings and in the 40 plus years I have been here I have not been stung a single time.

[@65Tedybear]

Wasps are annoing, but not aggressive like mosquitos for excample. Wasps hunt smaller insects and eat perished animals so what they are interested ist your food! Later in summer they prefer sweet things like the sugary fruit in or on the cake. Wasps sting big animals (and humans) only to protect themselves, so make sure you don't trap one: Put a lid on your beverages and look at what you are about to put in your mouth and your should be fine.

[@anja6940]

Every region in Germany has its own specialties. It depends where you are and what time of year you are there. In Germany, a lot of cooking is seasonal. For example, potato salad. In northern and eastern Germany it is made with mayonnaise, in Baden-Württemberg with beef broth and in Bavaria with vinegar and oil.

[@Ossey1976]

Every single American (or Brit) that I watched reacting to Mettbrötchen had the same reaction like you, but everyone of them loved it, when they actually tried it.

AND, also the “smörgåstårta” - or “bread cake”, which generally features three levels. First a layer of bread is placed on a serving platter, then a layer of, for instance, a creamy blending of mayonnaise, shrimp, relish and capers is spread over the bread and a next layer of bread is put on top. This layer may be a sour cream based blending of crab, dill, and caviar. Finally the top layer and the sides of the “cake” are slathered in “frosting”, consisting of some sort of Philadelphia Cream cheese and sour cream to make it easier to spread. The top of the cake is then decorated with different kinds of salmon, hard boiled eggs, and vegetables such as cherry tomatoes, cucumber and avocado and the sides of the cake may be decorated with stalks of asparagus, thinly sliced carrots and a variety of fresh herbs.

My favorite German dish is “Sauerbraten”, which is sour marinated and then braised beef (sometimes horse meat).

Sauerbraten is served with potato dumplings, boiled potatoes, noodles or spaetzle, accompanied by apple and red cabbage.

The Schnitzel culture is different, though. Different varieties of Schnitzel, such as "Rahmschnitzel" or "Jägerschnitzel" would be frowned upon in Austria. They insist there that putting gravy on Schnitzel is an abomination. Of note, a proper "Wiener Schnitzel" is made of veal not pork, but you often get the pork variety. In Germany, the pork variety would be called "Schnitzel Wiener Art" as "Wiener Schnitzel" is strictly reserved for veal.

Typically served at events like weddings or alike Schnibbelbohneneintopf: it's a childhood dish for me. Cut common beans served in a stew with potato, ham or bacon. It can be either chunky with liquid, or mushy. As a child I loved to eat it with apple sauce. Pfefferpotthast - slow and long roasted beef in a kind of stew that gets pulled before serving. It's basically a pulled beef type of dish. Served with salt potatoes. And last but not least: Knödel (dumplings). Knödel everything. Dumplings German style, dumplings Czech style. Potato dumplings, bread dumplings, Carlsbad dumplings, "napkin dumplings" (bread dumplings rolled and cooked in a napkin or other type of cloth.

Schnitzel "Wiener Art" means it's like Wiener Schnitzel, but pork. Wiener Schnitzel "Schnitzel from Wien" (Wien = Vienna, capitol of Austria) is made from calf. If a Schnitzel is prepared like a Wiener Schnitzel, but made with pork, it's "Wiener Art" (In Style of Vienna Schnitzel). If it's made of calf, it's a Wiener Schnitzel.

[@TheNatashaDebbieShow]

Ok, that is SUPER HELPFUL!! Thank you so much!!

[@bamdebambambam]

The word Schnitzel is kind of broad, if youre being pedantic a Schnitzel is only a cutlet, while a Schnitzel Wiener Art has breading. But then again, Jägerschnitzel f.e. is a Schnitzel with breading and a mushroom sauce. The word Schnitzel is a little bit chaotic.

[@berlindude75]

And the meat of a calf is called "veal" in English.

[@pandora2go]

​@@bamdebambambamwhat you say is wrong. You confuse the dish and the meat cut. The dish is always a breaded Schnitzel. What you mean ist the meat cut that's called like that.

[@bamdebambambam]

@@pandora2go nope, youre the one that is indeed wrong and seems to be confused. Any Schnitzel dish is named Schnitzel because of the cut of meat, not because meat has breading. Theres a variety of dishes called Schnitzel and not all of them have meat that is breaded. I already elaborated on how the word is the name of different dishes as well as the meat cut. You havnt made an argument whatsoever on why Schnitzel is the word for a specific dish. Care to remind yourself that all Schnitzel dishes arent actually simply called Schnitzel. Theyre called Wiener Schnitzel, Schnitzel Wiener Art, Schnitzel Holstein, Frankfurter Schnitzel and oh, they dont even have to be austrian or german because Saltimbocca alla romana, Piccata, Piccata Milanese are also Schnitzel dishes. And when youre having Schnitzel without breading, its still called Schnitzel and not anything else. Also, any dish you claim to be simply called Schnitzel as the Schnitzel Wiener Art, is refering to how it is served. The Schnitzel Wiener Art with lemon, the Frankfurter Schnitzel with a green sauce and so on. I dont know what youre misunderstanding about what i wrote before. The word is broad, but its origin is the actual cut of meat. Theres no doubt about that. Let me point out one more time, when you simply sear the cut of meat called Schnitzel without any breading, the outcoming dish is still called Schnitzel with ... A dish, that is simply called Schnitzel, doesnt exist.

We live in the South of England, but luckily we have a local Polish supermarket which has a superb deli counter, and they get pre-packed metka in fresh every week from Poland My favourite German snack, which you can often find in mobile vans at markets, music festivals etc is currywurst - it's a sausage dish, so wasn't covered by this video. Basically a huge bratwurst, sliced up and served with curried tomato ketchup, and sprinkled with extra curry powder We have a German style bar here in Southampton, near the medieval South Gate by the docks, and they offer schnitzels, sauages, currywurst and a few other dishes, and with a good selection of German beers - and they have half a BMW embedded in the wall above the bar for some reason - badly parked if you ask me I always enjoy your reactions - lovely to see you two back online again !

This type of schnitzel also exists in Germany, it is called "Schnitzel Holstein" and is usually a veal schnitzel with a garnish of fried egg, smoked salmon, oil sardines, capers, anchovy fillets and toasted white bread. Roast potatoes, beetroot and pickled gherkins are common side dishes

[@nordwestbeiwest1899]

@@Demoscene0x0801 That sounds more North German.

[@Demoscene0x0801]

​@@nordwestbeiwest1899 I quote Wikipedia: There is a legend circulating about Privy Councillor Fritz von Holstein (1837-1909), who had a reputation for always being in a hurry and therefore always ordered "starter and my schnitzel, quickly, quickly" at his favourite Berlin restaurant Borchardt, which is why the chef prepared everything together. However, this is an invented legend. Veal schnitzel à la Holstein or schnitzel Holsteiner style appeared in German cookery books at the end of the 19th century; they were breaded and topped with a fried egg, with other side dishes varying. The name has nothing to do with the privy councillor, but refers to the region of Holstein, analogous to similar schnitzel names such as "rheinische Art". Well "Holstein" I guess comes from the region "Schleswig Holstein" which indeed is the north of Germany but I'm in the west of Germany and it's no big deal to get it and its well known.

I'm in the UK. If I make mac and cheese, I do it from scratch, making my own cheese sauce. Most people in the UK if they think mac and cheese, they think of something that comes out of a box or a cheese sauce made from granules. But that stuff has always tasted like plastic to me. It doesn't take much to make a basic white sauce and add real cheese to it, just a bit of oil, a spoon of flour, salt, milk, pepper, done.

Hash Browns are basically Kartoffelpuffer. Germans brought it with them to the US but at some point, like with many recipes, americans got rid of some ingredients at some point. i just looked up a recipe for hash browns and all you need to add is some flour, eggs and onion and you got your authentic german Kartoffelpuffer. If thats how you ate them im the german restaurant, they are absolutely authentic. also its tradinionally eaten with apple sauce, but cranberries are just fine aswell. me persionally have never eaten them with sour cream tho. About the Schnitzel Hollsteiner Art: yes, you are correct about that one, but originally it is also served with anchovies and capers on top aswell. but since a lot of germans dont like those nowadays it is in fact often served just with a fried egg on top. so thats 100% authentic. Also if you put the schnitzel with the egg on top of a slice of toasted or roasted bread you got one variation of "Strammer Max". A VERY popular german dish. Other variations are replacing the schnitzel with ham, bacon or salami. its in fact one of the most popular dishes to have after you come home after a night of heavy drinking. also pretty popular amongst stoners.

OMG...my lovely US Girls...greetings from Frankfurt am Main in Germany...👋👋👋 Haxe, Kässpätzle,... my mouth is watering. After eating that you definetly need a digestion walk or nap. 😁 The Mett-/Hackbrötchen (raw meat on bread) i personally find disgusting 😂. And I grew up with that in the former GDR. Kartoffelpuffer with Apfelmus I could die for and my granny made the world's best. With Sour Cream/Cranberry sauce that's not German! It's all about the contrast of the sweet Apfelmus and the salty potato/onion mix. Some Germans only eat them with sugar spread/springeld on top. That Schnitzel version you have seen with the mushroom sauce is called "Jägerschnitzel", right, a compound word again of Jäger (Hunter) and Schnitzel 😁. The fried egg on top version over the Schnitzel is called "Hamburger Schnitzel" not "Holstein". And right, we have to call the Wiener Schnitzel in a menue in Germany "Schnitzel nach Wiener Art" (Viennese style Schnitzel) because a saying says only in Wien/Austria it is allowed to call it "Wiener Schnitzel". But we all just say/call that version Wiener Schnitzel...😂 But the truth is, it has something to do with the meat. Wiener Schnitzel has to be beef! Schnitzel Wiener Art means it is pork meat. Original version is made with beef!!! The Flammkuchen is a regional thing in Germany (Saarland, Pfalz, Baden) and you won't find it on menues in all over Germany. Flammkuchen please never call it a Pizza...😂😂😂 because you can't compare it with Pizza. It is more like a reeeaaallly thin Tarte. That's why we call it a snack and not a meal 😂 You have to try: Schnitzel with "Bratkartoffeln", the German "Sauerbraten", the "Westpfälischer Biergulasch", the German "Kartoffelsuppe" in the clear and mixed version or German soups in general. Mashed potatoes with carrots and meat loafs. The German "Bratwurst" with Sauerkraut and mashed potatoes in general or just as a snack in a "Brötchen", but definetly the German "Currywurst"!!! The "Rouladen" in the meat or cabbage (Kohlroulade) versions are awesome, too! Honestly, there are even more great German things to try, because within the 16 German states you are having 16 completely different "cooking" areas. And even within the single states you are having many different regional/cultural influences.

14:20 German „wasp terror season“ goes from mid July to early October, and actually correlates with the lack of „proper“ nourishment for the wasps (e.g., blooming flowers etc). When their normal food sources become scarce, they get aggressive. (I mean… you would probably as well, if all you can get is some hyper-sugar or proteine-heavy stuff instead of the flower nectar you’re used to…)

[@schnetzelschwester]

Wasps don't suck nectar from flowers but from the bees... To feed their maggots they need proteine, and for hunting flies and other insects they "patrol" the flowers. Or they gnaw from human dishes. For their own diet they need sugar. They are attracted by the smell of rotten fruit and/or honey. I think they were not very clean in this bakery, or on that day they had a lot of fruit waste.

This year I haven't seen a single wasp yet.

[@schnetzelschwester]

Yes, they are very few this year. It was too rainy and cold in spring, and too hot and dry now. For themselves they need sugary stuff, but to feed their maggots they hunt insects (or steal meat from dishes), but there were not many flies this year. I think they are not interested in mosquitos, we have a lot of those now. In my nestbox for birds I have a very very small hornets' nest, poor girls. I feed them with cat food and honey water to make sure there are some next year and to distract them from our food.

Some information about the schnitzel. If you stay south of Germany, you will find more “normal” or traditional schnitzel eaters. With egg for example. Or the wiener style, schnitzel with just a bit of lemon juice on it. But there are so many other variations of it. In the middle of Germany, people like to put sauce on their schnitzel. And it can variate. “Rahmschnitzel” is a schnitzel with a light, cream based sauce. “Champion Rahm Schnitzel” will put that idea even further and put these mushrooms in there. Like in your video. Then you have a sauce based of cream and mushrooms. Then there is the famous “Zigeuner” style. The “Zigeuner Schnitzel” or “Balkan schnitzel” (same thing) gives you a more fruity taste. The sauce is made of paprika, onions and so on. It’s taste a bit more lighter and sweeter. So you can say Germany varies their schnitzel tastes pretty good and people should really go to different places to taste it. Many people who do their vacations here, are only interested in southern Germany, because lederhosen is everything they think about it. But our country is veeeery diverse and many dishes are changes under their region where they get cooked.

Wiener Schnitzel is from Vienna = Wien in German (and in Austrian). Its made from veal. "Schnitzel Wiener Art" = Schnitzel Vienna Style uses pork instead. Both are first pounded until flat, then powdered with flour, dunked in egg and then coated with breadcrumbs, served with fries and a slice of lemon (sauce only if ordering spätzle or pasta instead of fries as side dish). Münchner Schnitzel (from Munich) can be veal, but is in most cases pork and is first spread with (Bavarian sweet) mustard and horse radish before powdered with flour, dunked in egg and coated with breadcrumbs from Brezels. Most other kinds of Schnitzel are traditionally "naked" (not breadcrumbed, only powdered with flour before fried) like Jägerschnitzel (hunter's schnitzel, served with a creamy mushroom sauce) or Paprikaschnitzel (sometimes also Puszta-Schnitzel or "Zigeuner Art") with a sauce based on white wine, fried bell peppers, paprika powder and other spices, but many cheaper restaurants use always breadcrumbed schnitzel from the fridge and add simply different sauces.
