Mett (or "Hack", "Hackepeter") and Black Pudding are two different things. Mett is like minced meat you use for a patty, just raw. And it's totally safe to eat it raw, because it's freshly made. Black pudding is more related to a German "Blutwurst" (blood sausage, mostly eaten cold as slices) or Tiegelwurst/Grützwurst (finely minced meat, oats and spices added, eaten warm with side dishes). The latter has a consistency more like Haggis (nod to your trip to Scotland 😉) after frying and has different funny/sarcastic names in different regions here in Germany - in my family we call it "Tote Oma" 🤭 and it's my to-go dish when I visit my parents.

[@t.a.k.palfrey3882]

During the period my family lived in the US, the meats we missed most were veal and spring lamb - both enjoyed widely across Europe. Pork knuckle, the Bavarian dish featured here, in my opinion is best served with rösti, the Swiss grated potato dish. Real Viennese schnitzle must be made with breaded veal. 😋

[@Pucky71]

There is so much more. German food is not as "noble" as French food, or as "light" as Italian food. German cuisine is hearty, that's because of the weather in Germany. On the one hand you can't grow many plants because it's too cold/too wet, on the other hand you're really hungry for exactly that reason. I would like to invite you to our dinner in Germany. It was easy to see that you had an appetite. Joel, you are so sweet. I love your videos.

[@beageler]

These prejudices are so stupid. Italian food is light? French food is noble? Hogwash. Pasta isn't light and pizza gets heavy easily. And Risotto is certainly not light. And there are so many down-to-earth french dishes, just like German Hausmanskost, just different. And the climate argument isn't true, either. That would be to say that french cuisine is dominated by stuff that only grows on the Cote d'Azur. And even if that were the case, there isn't much that grows there (or in Italy) but doesn't grow in Germany, I don't know of anything off the top of my head.

[@eisikater1584]

I spent some time in France, and I can tell you, everyday French cuisine is not "noble" at all. They have different everyday dishes than we have in Germany, and one thing the French really know about is cheese and pastries. Forget Switzerland, forget the Netherlands, if you really love cheese, visit France! And if you love spicy dishes and are vegetarian, there's no better place to go than southern India. I'd once like to try genuine Mexican food, and my plans were almost ready, then along came the pandemic which dug deeply into my bank account, so the flight has to wait.

The Wiener Schnitzel actually has its origins in what is nowaday called Italy. It does not matter much, because of course the Austrians are the only ones that can cook it right. And if you go for Käsespätzle, take time for a nap afterwards. That is food "for the old farmers", that actually needed those calories. For any modern human... it is hard to finish a portion. BUT it tastes great! For sausages in Germany, you will find yourself in heaven. I´d say no other country has the variation as in Germany (perhaps Austria, but I wont participate in the talks between Germans and Austrians :D) If you find it, go for a Bosna. And last but not least - you have not been out drinking if you don´t smell of Döner the day afterwards! It IS very messy, but sent from Heaven to all folks that has had a good night out!

If you want to try Labskaus for yourself, just combine mashed potatoes, minced corned beef, butter, fried onions together and a little beef stock to loosen the mixture. Serve with fried eggs, herring (a must) pickled cucumber and pickled beetroot (if available). pickled pumpkin works well, too. Enjoy with lots of beer and Schnaps.

@@ThePapaja1996 I thought I might find it across the Scandinavian region of northern Europe, with so much contact across the north sea I was hoping other trading and fishing ports in the UK would have similar connections but I have not hear of any, perhaps it was the Viking connection with Dublin and Ireland and Liverpool When the Celtic Kings expelled the Vikings from Ireland they settled in the Wirral and Liverpool area and were assimilated into England by the Mercian and Saxon rulers and are still here today. I would be interested to know if Nordic culinary dishes exist in the York area, it too was settled by Viking decadents.

All that things are best in the region they belong to. Thuringian sausages are made now all over Germany (except the Nuremberg region, where they prefer the Nürnberger which are very simillar, but far smaller - you eat 3 or 4 for one Thuringian), but best in Thuringia. Curry sausage was invented in Berlin, and you still get there the most variety of curry sauce - but in other region you get sometimes more choice regarding the sausages used to make it. In Upper Swabia e.g. you can get it "from the Geschlagene" (from the beaten, a skinless white fried sausage, sometimes also called "Oberländer", roughly "Highlander", in Munich also known as "Wollwurst", wool sausage) or "from the red" (a slighty pre-smoked fried sausage). The Munich Weisswurst is best south of the "Weisswurst equator" (which is roughly the valley of river Main); it is white because the recipe avoids using nitrate salting, which also lowers its shelf life. Traditionally it was prepared in the early morning and was not allowed "to hear the twelve o'clock chime" before fridges became a thing. "Frankfurter" are also known as "Wiener" or "Saiten" - the recipe came from Frankfurt to Vienna (Wien in German) where the recipe was slightly changed (adding some beef, while the Frankfurt recipe contains only pork). The South German name "Saiten" refers to the small intestines of sheep used for the skin; the same word is used for (violin or guitar) strings, which were originally made from the same intestines. The Bockwurst shown in 2:20 is not the same; the filling is similar, but the sausage is thicker and it was smoked for around one hour. It got its name from the Bockbier, a strong beer originally brewed since the 13th century in Einbeck (Lower Saxony) for export, since 1614 in Munich as Ainpöckisch Bier; the Bockwurst was since the 19th century served with the beer during the Bockbier season. Kässpätzle are at home in Württemberg, Upper Swabia and the Allgäu region. if you go west to Baden and the Upper Rhine Valley, they become "Knöpfle" (Knopf = Button), which are somewhat shorter and thicker, but otherwise much the same. To me the ones in 4:33 don't look very good, not handmade at least. I would not eat them - I'm too spoiled for them. Flammkuchen comes from the Alsace, but many adjacent regions had and have their own variations, often with a somewhat thicker crust. Baden and Swabia e.g. have the Dinnete (in some regions also known as Deie, Wähe, Blooz or Scherrkuchen), made from bread dough (traditionally in a preheated wood-burning oven, when it is still too hot to put the bread loafs in). 11:44 In Swabia also popular: Krautspätzle - fried Sauerkraut mixed with Spätzle (no cheese!) or Schupfnudla with Sauerkraut (Schupfnudla are thick hand-rolled noodles made from a potato-based dough like gnocchi; the Sauerkraut is fried in butter together with the noodles and then served with applesauce - especially popular at fairs). Swabian potato salad is neither mayonnaise nor vinegar based, but gets a dressing of warm (meat or vegetable) bouillon, onions, a bit of vinegar and oil and is served lukewarm, sometimes with sliced pickles in it.

It was a very comprehensive video, but it still only scratched the surface of the many varieties of German food. About the currywurst. You can easily make your own currysauce. You only need regular tomatoe ketchup, a lot of currypowder, a dash of chayene pepper, some paprika and maybe a little sriracha sauce. That's it, you only need to find the right balance with the spices until you find it to your liking.

[@Sc4v3r]

If you use ketchup it is not a currywurst. Real currywurst is made with a real coked(!) currysauce! The othe thing is just a wurst with ketchup and spices!

[@althelas]

@@Sc4v3r The basis of every currysauce for the Currywurst is either Ketchup (of course it is heated up and cooked with the spices) or you make it really from scratch with tomatoes or tomatoe paste and I do not know many who are really making it from scratch. I learned to make the sauce both ways.

What you should definitely eat as a visitor in Germany is the regional home cooking of the region you are in and not always this stereotypical industry-made stuff that you get in beer gardens and such. Home cooking can be truly unique - so much so that other states don't have anything quite like it. Don't be afraid to sit down in a starred restaurant. Especially in the regions of Saarland, Rhineland-Palatinate and Badenwürttemberg, every regional restaurant has at least one star.

In Germany, there are two types of "Currywurst". The Berliner Type and the Bochumer Type. The joke is, both citys say that they have create the dish first. The diffrent between both is the saucage. In Bochum and North Rhine Westfalia in special in "Ruhrgebiet " a Area between Rhine, "Ruhr" and "Lippe" the sauce is more like a cream fluid. I hope its the right word.

Flammkuchen is actually a dish from alsace, which is actually a part of France. But it's more possible to find an acceptable Flammkuchen in Northern Germany than in southern France. In France they call it Tarte Flambé.

[@helloweener2007]

Alsace-Lorraine switched so often in ownership, it has both cultures as background. And Flammkuchen is not only from Alsace. I think France and Germany can claim both ownership. Wikipedia about the History of Flammkuchen. "The dish was created by Germanic farmers from Alsace, Baden and the Palatinate who used to bake bread once a week. The Flammekueche was originally a homemade dish which did not make its urban restaurant debut until the "pizza craze" of the 1960s."

[@alicemilne1444]

Alsace is the French name for Elsaß. Elsaß was for centuries a Germanic Duchy within the Holy Roman Empire. The local dialect is Germanic. France annexed Elsaß and Lothringen in the 17th century as part of the 1648 peace settlement of Westphalia at the end of the Thirty Years War. Elsaß/Alsace and Lothringen/Lorraine changed hands between France and Germany several times over the next few centuries. Elsaß has been French since 1945 again, but the region is definitely aware of its Germanic origins and children are taught German right from primary school onwards. As for Flammkuchen, it is not just an Elsaß dish. You can find it in the Saarland and Baden as well.

I would add Rheinischer Sauerbraten, Hühnerfrikasse and Königsberger Klopse. Sauerbraten is marinated horse meat or, more common nowadays, beef, and the Rhineland version adds Honigkuchen (a bit like gingerbread) and raisins to the sauce to make it sweet-sour. Hühnerfrikassee contains small parts of chicken meat, asparagus and mushrooms. Königsberger Klopse are dumplings made of minced pork and beef, onions and anchovy, served with a sauce with capers.

If you order Jägerschnitzel in the eastern part of Germany (esp. Saxony) you might get a piece of sausage inside instead of chicken or pork meat! But still tasty 😊!

[@derzeraphin4208]

A breaded piece of hunting sausage. That's a east german Jägerschnitzel.

[@niemandbestimmtes1809]

we germans are very proud of the local products like sausages and beer. and of course the best beer and bratwurst is everytime the local. :) The typical difference between "Wiener" and "Frankfurter" is the used meat. Wiener is only pork and Frankfurter are only beef (like the american hotdog).

Let me know when you come to Hamburg, I'd love to show you around, man!

[@fzoid3534]

I'm from Berlin but my favorite sausage is still the Thüringer Rostbratwurst. It's so damn good.😊 Damn I haven't eaten anything today and watching this was a big mistake.

is it really so good it's worth destroying the whole planet?

I would really like a Schweinhaxe now. 🍖😋

About Schnitzel: I think there are two more versions of Schnitzel that should be mentioned: - the "Zigeunerschnitzel" translates to Gipsy's Schnitzel which is a Schnitzel with a sweet pepper sauce and small pieces of pepper - the "Cordon Bleu", which is a Schnitzel filled with cheese and ham There are three more dishes I'd like to mention: - Schwäbischer Zwiebelrostbraten: A dish you can get in restaurants all over Germany, it originated in Schwaben (Swabia) and it is roasted beef with several roasted unions-slices on top and is usually served with fried potatoes, but in most restaurants, it can also be ordered with French fries. - Kaiserschmarren is a dish popular in Austria and Bavaria, which can be taken as a main dish or dessert. If you order it as a dessert you should share it with a friend. Though I can easily eat two portions, a portion might be too much for one person as a dessert. It consists of flour, Eggs, milk, sugar, and raisins. It is prepared in a pan and parted into small pieces served with powdered sugar on top and classically comes with compote, though I prefer apple puree instead. - The Germknödel, also popular in Austria and Bavaria. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germkn%C3%B6del It's either served with melted butter and a topping of crushed poppy seeds and sugar or vanilla sauce only. I prefer the vanilla sauce version.

11:31 Now I understand the song ‘My Favourite Things’. I thought it was ‘Schnitzel with Noodles’ but it’s actually ‘Schnitzel with Knödles’.

black pudding is whats called blood sausage here ;)

OMG, I'm from the south of Germany and think potato salad is neither good with mayonaise nor with vinnegar... we do a soup based sauce in our Region and I'm always happy to find that version at a butchers, cause making potato salad for one person is just too much :)

Hello Joel. For someone from UK, like me, I remember going to Germany and seeing the familiar food types but cooked differently and yet very tasty. Sorry Germany, but the best bread I had there was Turkish naan in Frankfürt. British food has come on a long way, such that you could do a similar reaction on the other channel to the videos of people trying take away food. We have donner kebab, but somewhat different and prawn sandwiches and mackerel are like food I would make. You need to check out Wigan kebab though. Don't knock black pudding. The Spanish do good ones. I look forward to a Spanish food video. Also have you seen "Ripping Yarns" yet for a special reference to the black stuff?

[@Meckermaxxe]

The best bread in Germany was from a Turkish bakery? No problem. You are british, your sense of taste is underdeveloped 😂 Don't get me wrong. Of course the Turkish guys can do a proper baking job. But it's quite different to old germanic bread.

[@alansmithee8831]

@@Meckermaxxe I knew this would wind someone up. The German family I stayed with bought me a sliced loaf, to make me feel at home. I grew up in Bradford, so I was used to bread from many different cultures. German bread always seemed a bit "heavy" and "tough". The German I stayed with in Paris could not make naan or chapati for her Asian husband and brought delicious fresh French baguette to go with the curry she made very well.

Currywurst in Berlin? Currywurst you can eat everwhere here, the best Currywurst I have eaten, when I was for a visit in the Ruhrgebiet. Edit: saw a statistic from 2022...Currywurst is the most eaten Fastfood in Germany

[@cutlers3618]

You need to listen. Currywurst originated in Berlin. Almost all of the meals in the video you can find all over Germany and Austria. But they still originated in a specific area and are most of the time best made in those areas.

[@vomm]

You can eat Spaghetti Bolognese at Mc Donalds in the Phillipines, which means it can't be a traditional Italian dish at all

[@beageler]

That's funny because 2022 was the year Döner finally left Currywurst in the dust. AFAIR, in 2022 Currywurst even lost the first place among the most eaten cantina foods. I myself was always surprised that people would think that Currywurst is anywhere near Döner, because in southwest Germany Döner has to be eaten ten times as much as Currywurst. There seem to be about 1 or 2 places that offer Currywurst for every 10 Döner shops. Currywurst is eaten, sure. But that is true of KFC, too. Döner is a whole other league.

Germany has hundreds of different kinds of bread and they are protected by that world heritage thingy. And the color of your bread is according to the topping... black bread goes well with Schinken, liver sausage, grey bread is more for ham, white is purely for lazy people or fruit jam lovers

With all the many videos about German food and what you have to eat, I would be interested to know what a video would look like the other way around: 10 foods that you must have eaten in the USA!?

currywurst sauce is the best. Can’t really do it at home like they have it in berlin

[@MrAta64]

Like ive posted on ur vid: American Reacts to German Food, get the real Brat/currywurst, Mettbrötchen (Gehacktesbrötchen) in Kassel/near of it :P (The Mettbrötchen in the vid, looked awfull) And its not "the" Currysauce or Ketchup you can get. In Berlin and Frankfurt (Best Wörscht in Town f.e.) u can get very tasty Curry"sauce" variantions. But at home, mostly the "Curry Ketchup" is used, by heating it and spice it up with Currypowder over it. Schnitzel: Wiener Schnitzel is rare made of pork! Its Wiener "like" mentioned in the menucard, cause originaly its made of calve an not pork. Wiener-Art (like) is meant, that it comes pure with a lemonslice and without sauce (like Jägerschnitzel)! Hint - > the more "bubbly" and crunchy the outside of the Schnitzel is, the better it´ll taste :D those in the video looked very good. Döner: Get the Döner in cologne at Poldies. Good quality. Franzbrötchen: Only near Hamburg :D Bread: Please dont get it in a Discounter!!!! In a good Bakery u can try some slices of Bread. Be aware in the south of the middle in germany, they like to put caraway in (bah :P)

German bakers have a 3 year education to call themself a baker journeyman. After reaching this level they need to work at least 3 years as a baker journeyman to start their education as a master baker. For a long time, only master bakers where allowed to run a bakery and to educate new bakers. Bakery tradition in Germany is long and German bakers create more then 300 different types of bread every day, plus the bread rolls and sweets and patisserie stuff. Often German bakers also educate with another 2 years of learning as a confectioner, creating the finest cakes, sweets and ice cream and chocolates. That sums up to a 5 years education (depending on your school level and your skills) plus two master (master baker and master confectioner). Basically the reaching master in any craft profession is treated as the lowest possible academic level. But if you visit Germany and want to check German bakery craftsman skills, be sure to go outside big citys to the country side and look for small bakerys with only one shop. The😂 cities often big bakery companies with one large bakery hall and many shops that get the products delivered early in the morning. Many of this big companies lack of real traditional quality that you will find in small bakerys run by one family. How do I know this? Well, I was raised in such a small bakery and was a baker for more then 20 years working in a lot of different bakerys. Sadly got ill from my job and was reedicated. Have fun if you visit Germany
