I have to say that I personally always have a bit of a problem with it when someone automatically says the food looks disgusting, they have absolutely no idea what they are holding in their hand and what it actually tastes like, but they immediately say it looks disgusting. In any case, a good fried herring is not disgusting and pork bacon is used for different recipes, often gives the dish a different flavor and less salt is needed for the preparation. Fat is also a flavor carrier. Mayonnaise is not automatically something bad or completely unhealthy, there is always a lot of nonsense being spread, it's the amount of mayo that makes the difference.

[@00Jess_M]

I don't have that big of a problem with people saying something looks disgusting to them (some of my favorite dishes look questionable), I'm not a fan of people saying something IS disgusting. Either because they don't like it or worse, they've never even tried it. I wish there would've been a German in the video who actually knew or even liked those items, so they could explain how they taste or how you eat/use them (that's what I was expecting from the video tbh). Those two Germans looked like they barely know more than the other guys and girls. I don't like everything they picked either, but at least about half of it and that I don't like something doesn't mean it's disgusting. I just don't like it. When they said they never had the pork fat/bacon with such confidence, I wanted them to ask their parents/grandparents if that's true, because I bet they had it in some dish they ate as a child. I remember at least two dishes my mom used it for. And that's without soups or Eintöpfe. I appreciate that they put so much time and work into making those videos for foreigners and like many of them, but this one wasn't for me. Like I said, I wish there would've been someone in the video who would've had more to say than "yeah, I never had it, but I agree that it's disgusting". And where was the mustard for the Leberwurst and Harzer Roller? 🤨

[@corinnaschmidt9735]

What I find most amusing is that the two German moderators don't know so many things! Just by the way: the bacon is usually cut into small cubes and "left out" in the pan, which means: the fat becomes liquid, the pieces become brown and crispy. If you then beat eggs in, you get super delicious scrambled eggs!

[@karlheinz9432]

^^ "left out" -> rendered down

[@dorisschneider-coutandin9965]

Yes, shocking to hear from the hosts of the programme that they even don't know the most classic thing like Eierlikör. The brand is "Advocaat" and has nothing, absolutely nothing to do with avocados. It's similar to egg nogg, but cold, not heated up. Or "Lachsfleisch", which is some sort of the most fatless ham (cured, I would think) you can have. And Roquefort is a very, very expensive blue veined cheese, at least the original one from France; italian counterpart would be Gorgonzola. This blue mould is actually doing no harm to the human body, it is specially grown for being "injected" into the cheese.

[@NerdyNomad21]

I'm a little shocked about how less the hosts know about German food. I am a little bit picky about food, too. But they have mostly verly tasty things here. Brathering is a little bit sour and very tasty. And Lachsschinken has nothing todo with salmons nor with ham and is absolutly not disgusting.

It's so funny to me that they said "fein frittierter Alokohol" (deep fried alcohol) - it says "FILTRIERTER Alkohol", which means filtrated and makes so much more sense if you think about it for a second 🤣Also, it took me a few minutes to understand what they were on about with the "Avocado". According to Google, this type of eggnog originally comes from Brazil, where the drink was called "Abacate" by the Tupo-Guarani Indians, the natives of the Amazon region in Brazil, and was made on the basis of avocados. The Dutch conquerors generally thought the recipe with cane sugar and rum was great, but unfortunately they didn't have any more avocados for their "Advocaat" back in Europe. Mr. Eugen Verpoorten (the founder of the company "Verpoorten", which now sells this drink) had the idea to recreate the drink with eggs. So technically Eierlikör is the European/Dutch version of eggnog, which most Americans are probably familiar with.

[@meretofabydos3645]

It seems they really don’t know much about food! It’s like you sad it’s simply eggnog/ Eierlikör - avocado is only used in the original of brazil. Also referring everthing as meat ( like raw meat), but Fleischsalat isn’t made of raw meat, normally it’s cooked meat ( like cold cuts) like Lyoner. Also a lot of cheese made with different non-toxig molds ( white / blue-, greenish), for example Camembert or Brie with white mold. The other one looks like Harzer cheese, which is very healthy and has low fat, if it’s not old the taste isn’t strong, but sometimes a bit more chewy than normal cheese. And so on… If you made such a video you should at least take a person with you, who had a solid knowledge about the food you make comments on.

[@MiaMerkur]

​@@meretofabydos3645so right! Well with 19 starting studying I only knew gouda and edamer ( from dutch border) my french friend ordered a olate with varies of cheese like blue mold cheese, cheese of goats and I did not like a thing.

Moldy cheese (like Roquefort or Gorgonzola) is made in a controlled environment. The Penicillium roqueforti fungus is not the same you get when you forget a piece of cheese for too long in the fridge and it gets moldy or the black mold in the walls. It is actually delicious. Gorgonzolla on pasta or pizza brings a unique flavor. That's some real cheese.

The colored easter eggs are available all year long. They're colored to make them easily distinguishable from fresh eggs. Otherwise you might want to grab some fresh eggs for cooking and end up with cooked ones, or you want some as a fast meal and end up with fresh ones. the "Lachsfleisch" isnt fish, its meat from a pig, lamb or calf. I think its the inner part of the backmuscle, a bit like filet The pig fat they find so disgusting is used to cook, or you render the fat into lard.

Fresh eggs have a small air bubble inside on one end. This bubble would expand while cooking the egg, leading to a cracked shell. This probably doesn't happen in the USA because the eggs in US supermarkets are usually chemically treated, removing the outer protective layer of the egg. This protective layer makes the egg more resistant to germs. That why US supermarket eggs have to be kept refrigerated.

[@SundaysSound]

That is so interesting! Didn't know!

12:35 Whenever you have some kind of fermentation you also have bacteria or yeast, which is just a special type of mold, in there. So baked goods with yeast, beer, wine etc have also mold in them, cheese, yogurt, vinegar etc all have bacteria in them. Because in Germany during the inter food was always scarce, a lot of fermentation was done to preserve things for the winter. That's why a lot of food in Germany is connected to some form of mold, yeast, bacteria etc. Just because something contains mold (which is again just a type of mushroom) or bacteria doesn't make it unhealthy, it's the type mold or bacteria that determines how healthy it is. If you couldn't eat anything with mold on or in it, you also couldn't eat a pizza (yeast), with parmesan (ripened cheese => certain types of mold and bacteria), mushrooms, smoked sausages (many smoked goods have also got types of good mold in them).

Technically speaking, molds is a specific group of structurally complex fungi, while yeasts are unicellar fungi. Yeasts don't build molds but colonies when they spread on surfaces, same as bacteria. Otherwise message is correct. Many microorganism (MO) produce chemicals during fermentation that enhance food flavour and/or aid in preservation. Nothing nasty about is, as long as no toxin producing MO are presented too.

I thought Blue Cheese dressing is relatively popular in the US. It is basically made with mouldy cheese (hence the name) such as Roquefort or Gorgonzola. So theoretically you should have already eaten a product made with moudly cheese, you just havent registered to the fact that it was such. Although, no idea if the processed stuff you are served is actually made from moudly or otherwise cheese at all to be honest. But 2 of the 3 items the Asian lady bought out werent even German. The Dried tomatoes are more of a Mediterranean thing, and the Roquefort is a French cheese. They are just sold in German Supermarkets as well, due to being popular for enough people (not me personally though to be honest).

Hello, as far as the moderators go, oh my oh my, but they have no idea. Some products are very common and taste very good, such as the pickled fish, very tasty. The moderators are absolutely not representative as far as German food culture is concerned. The painted eggs are called party eggs here and are always fresh (at least in the area where I come from). The hard cheese is common everywhere and not only in Germany, but also in the neighboring countries, mainly in the Alpine region. Women like to drink eggnog, but it is also often used for baking or for deserts. As far as liver sausage is concerned, it is very tasty and is eaten everywhere in Germany and is available in different versions (coarse, fine, mild, hearty, etc.). The packaged fish is not raw as was claimed, but either smoked or pickled... Greetings from Germany

2:15 Verpoorten is famous for its egg liquor. The founder Eugen Verpoorten came from Antwerpen and opened 1876 in Heinsberg (Germany) near Aachen his liquor factory. His egg liquor was meant to imitate avocado-based Advocaat, a liquor from the Netherlands inspired by the Abacate (an avocado-based softdrink) made by indigenes in the Amazonas region. 6:15 Selling cooked eggs e.g. for lunch became a thing the last 2 decades or so. They are colored to show they are cooked. 9:00 Some things you should never ever buy in a supermarket, even a more classy one like Rewe. Rückenspeck is the same as bacon, but from the back, not the belly. It consists mostly of pure fat, not meaty strips between like belly bacon. If bought in butchers's shop, it is available raw, smoked or cured; raw one can be used to make lard or be used to make sausage, raw or smoked ones are for some recipes sliced thinly to wrap other meat in eat before frying it. German butchers and chefs don't like to waste any part of a slaughtered animal. Brathering is fried herring which can be than be pickled to preserve is. Some people love it, others don't dare to try it. (But it should never be a cheap supermarket brand.) 9:43 "Schweinelachs" (lit. pig salmon) is the musculus longissimus dorsi of a pig (or a veal if it is Kalbslachs, or a lamb if it is Lammlachs). It can e.g. be pan-fried or grilled or first smoked and then cooked. They bought "Lachsschinken" (salmon ham), which is cured and smoked like ham. It is not cheap, but a bit overrated in my opinion. The name "Lachs" refers only to the color of the meat after removing fat and tendons. 11:00 Mayonnaise-based "salads" are traditionally more a thing in the North than the South, but supermarkets did spread such products all across the country (and in some cases neighboring countries, too). 11:25 Dried tomatoes are originally an Italian thing, including the pickled variety. But the supermarket version is not recommendable. 12:15 Blue cheese from the Alsace. It is inoculated with blue noble-mould. Moulds are simply small mushrooms, some varieties are edible, others not. Camembert uses white noble-mould. 14:10 Teewurst (tea sausage) is also a northern German thing. But while the Friesland region is the main tea land (East Frisia consumes about 300 liter of tea per capita and year, which is the highest consumption worldwide), in this case it originates from the Baltic coast: Teewurst was originally a brand of Rügenwalde, which is now Darlowo in Poland. It is made from pork and beef, originally small leftovers from butchering, which are grinded, then seasoned with pepper, dried bell pepper, nutmeg and juniper and cold-smoked. It is however not the only sausage spread - there are also some varieties of liver sausage (which consist up to 40% of liver, depending on the regional recipe) which can be eaten as a spread.

The spreads they are showing are the most normal things in Germany. All my childhood these spreads and alot of others were the only thing you would eat for dinner (Abendbrot). It's used to be very normal to only have a cold dinner with bread in loads of different kinds of spreads! I actually never had a warm dinner until I was 19, or if you had a special occasion and went to eat out in a restaurant. Warm meals were only eaten at lunch time! Dinner is always differnt kinds of bread and cheese, meat, meat spreads, liver sausage spreads, and many many more spreads on bread. :-) Sometimes leftovers from lunch, though.

[@pouncepounce7417]

Astonishing how little the germans know about there own kitchen Spreadable saussage is making use of the not so good looking bits of meat.

The thing with the "Lachsschinken" (or literally "Salmon-ham(?)") is: it isn't fish. It's usually pork. The word "Lachs" (which they literally translated to salmon) in this case only referes to the part of the pig that is used. It's a lean cut of meat from the back of the animal and a meaty part of the rip. So it has nothing to do with salmon, let alone raw salmon ;)

The pork fat is not usually eaten raw either, but left out in small cubes in the pan and fried until brown. This result is then mostly used as an ingredient for hearty dishes. You can use it for example in fried potatoes, or in pea soup. It gives the dishes a smoky and hearty note.

You do have to love fish for it though (I do, and I love hering, but I know it isn't for everyone).

And we haven't even started on things like anchovies or some of those outlandish Nordic fish (which I also love -- I know, I'm weird !)

[@jochendamm]

Yeah, we love meat, especially pork in all shapes and sizes. Spreads are common. Leberwurst or Liver sausage is a spread that contans a small amount of liver with a maximum of 40 percent. Otherwise it would be too strong in taste. Freshly toasted bread with Leberwurst was my equivalent to PB&J sandwiches for breakfast before school almost every morning. More fancy and tasty are Mettbrötchen - an absolute must-try: Bread rolls with raw minced pork ("Mett") and seasoned with herbs and spices like raw onions. It's literally to die for - so good. But it has to be fresh as same day or packaged in containers with controlled atmosphere (reduced oxagen). There is also Mettwurst which is preserved and lasts longer. Mettwurst is a whole group of different types of sausages.

[@trythis2006]

most of the time when people find either leberwurs or teewurst disgusting is when you put way too much on your bread, it gets very overwhelming, especially leberwurst since leber has a strong taste so most people probably wouldnt like it spread too thick, only for people that really do love these kind of meats otherwise just put a lil bit on it, really good.

[@Pentagon2004]

For information The Rückenspeck is used to enhance the flavor on roasts and other meat dishes You can, for example, before you put a meat loaf into the oven, lay some strip from the Rückenspeck onto the loaf, then you put it in the oven. Makes it taste better, and afterwards you can eat the strip of rückenspeck as they then are fried

Speck, the pig fat, you cut it into small dices, put it in a pan and fry it, until it gets golden brown, than you can put it on potato salad. It gives a nice taste and crunch to it. The fish (Brathering) are herring, which are fried with breading and than put into a sauce made of vinegar, salt, sugar onions and spices, so you can keep it for a long time. I really like them, together with potatos cooked in water with salt. They really are not gross. Lachsfleisch is actually the meat out of the back of a pig, without bones. It is only spiced and then smoked, but only shortly, so that you have to eat fast. The name comes from the color, which remindes of salmon. It tastes really good, when you buy it directly at a butcher's. But even packed like in a supermarked it is not bad.

Man, you need to try them all, they are so yummy! Liver sausage spread may sound irritation, but there is no liver in an tea spread is my kids favorite.

[@moppels.6589]

Pork bacon is used to keep meat juicy while cooking. Either by larding (with a special knife, small cuts are made in the raw roast, into which sticks of bacon are stuck.) Or you put thin slices of bacon directly on the roast. With a turkey, you can slide thin slices of bacon between the skin and meat so that the breast can Roast does not dry out so much. In general, fat is a flavor carrier, which is why pork bacon can also be used in the cooking of soups or sauces, and of course also for terrines and pies, etc. As far as I know, it is not eaten raw. Salmon ham has nothing to do with fish. The word salmon stands for a specific, high-quality part of the pig from which this ham comes. The ham is smoked, extremely tender and extremely tasty. Liverwurst and Teewurst are just a few of the spreadable sausages that are available in Germany and Austria. I didn't even know that there were no spreadable sausages in the USA. Personally, I find them very tasty. I also like Mett very much, you just can't think about it being raw meat. A dream with salt, pepper and onions - but you should pay attention to good quality, preferably organic - and of course only eat fresh food.

Oh Brat Herring tastes delicious too, just like rollmops. Rollmops is the version of herring without being fried. It is pickled in vinegar or something and skewered with gherkins and onions. And coarse country liver sausage with bacon bits. Also mega tasty and spicy. Maybe not for everyone. But if you eat a hearty sourdough bread with it. Mega hearty and delicious. Especially in autumn and weather, you always get ravenous for something like this, because it's hearty and savoury. It makes you full.

[@pyrointeam]

Oh wow these germans don't know anything... that was very weird for me. It's weird how the germans in this video are so negative about all these products. Boiled eggs are usually not that old because they are bought a lot, also they expire much later than raw eggs and of course have an expiration date. Egg liqour is very yummy if it has not too much alcohol, but it is awesome used in cake or as topping on chocolate or vanilla icecream. Pinching a little hole in the eggs bottom (wider end) does not destroy the egg inside (as long as you don't go too deep) because their is an air pocket. This air is bubbling out when you put the eggs in boiling water, because the egg expands, which is the the reason why eggs crack when put into boiling water too fast. Handkäse / Hatzer Roller is stinky but it's pure protein there is no other cheese which is protein only. Great for keto! If you can handle it 🤣🤣. Speck (pork belly or back fat) is used by cutting it and letting the fat out into the pan by frying it, you will have a pan full of "Schmalz" (lard) which you can use on bread with spices (like butter) tasting awesome or use to fry things in it (which tastes a hundred times better than frying in oil esp. steak). It is also used to cut it into sticks and put it into you long holes you cut into your roast beef or turkey for the oven, this prevents it from becoming dry and tough and enhances the flavor by 999%. It's like the difference between a cheap steak and a fat marbled Wagyu Beef Steak. Brathering is super delicious, its sour pickled hering like Bismarkhering (which is raw) but this one is fried and tastes even better, of course it looks bad from the outside becouse the skin is roasted (brown) but i tastes sooo good. (if you like fish and vinigar pickled things) Lachs is not only the german word for salmon but also for the fillet part of a cattle or pig. So no this has nothing to do with salmon, and doesn't look disgusting at all. It is the most leanest meat so very good quality. Lachsschinken is not salmon ham (like google messes it up) it is fillet ham (pork or beef). Sundried tomatoes are awesome, but every taste differs. Teufelröllchen is are sour pickles herings (like Bismarkhering) rolled with a spicy bell pepper or chili inside, Rollmöpse are the same but with a pickle/gherkin inside. Pepperoni unlike in the U.S. where it is the word for a sausage similar to Salami in Europe, in german Pepperoni is a kind of green chili/bellpepper with mild or medium hot spicyness. Roquefort is a very strong molded cheese made from sheep or goat milk and a fungi only found in caves of Roquefort (France).

they have some mistranslations in their subtitles, for example: the painted eggs used to only exist "on easter" (not "in the east"). it's the same as in other countries, painting eggs was and is an easter thing here. but people liked buying pre-boiled eggs in the supermarket, so the supermarkets decided to just paint their pre-cooked eggs all year round so you could easily tell them apart from normal uncooked eggs. another mistranslation: the eggpick is for before putting the egg in the "pot" (not in the "pan"). its for hard-boiled eggs, and if there is a tiny hole in the skin, the air can get out while boiling the whole egg. it prevents the eggshell from cracking.

"Fried herrings" are sour or sweet and sour pickled unsmoked herrings (vinegar, sugar, onions, mustard seeds, bay leaves, allspice, oil, salt, pepper ...).

I LOVE Schimmelkäse, its soo tasty, you can eat it on bread and also cook with it. It comes most from France and a really good one is not cheap AND the best, its HEALTHY! Blue cheese contains many valuable minerals, trace elements (sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium) and vitamins (vitamins A, E and B2).Thanks to the lactic acid bacteria and noble moulds, amino acids, peptides and valuable proteins are formed, which act as oxidation inhibitors.

@@ann-kathrin7250 I've noticed tha the subtitles are often poorly or incorrectly translated. Maybe that's why lol.

@@Sashimi1408 There are some important differences between the two. I love eggnog but would never drink Eierliquor after trying it a few times.

[@Sashimi1408]

@@LythaWausW I would say that they're technically made the same way, but only differ in spices added to eggnog that Eierlikör does not have. It's a matter of taste I guess.

Salmon is often eaten raw on bread, at least in Switzerland and I believe in Germany too. It is really popular and if you like salmon it is genuinely amazing. The mouldy cheese in the video was Roquefort which is a french delicacy. I heard that it is banned in the US because it is considered a possible health risk, however it is not. It is understandable though that many people find it gross including me, despite I like cheese a lot.

[@aphextwin5712]

I particularly like raw salmon with cream cheese on nice bread.

[@NicolaiCzempin]

But salmon was not in the video, and not strange in the US. What was shown is "Lachsschinken"; smoked sliced ham that looks a bit like salmon, but it's called that because of the look and the (butcher jargon) part of the pig it comes from.

[@aphextwin5712]

Boy, you are missing out if you don’t eat mouldy cheese. They add flavour to what otherwise would be relatively bland soft cheese. The surface-ripened (“white mould”) varieties like Camembert are the beginner version, though there are some that can develop a strong flavour like Chaource. But blue cheese like Gorgonzola is cheese with the most intense flavour.

13:55 as a kid, I loved Leberwurst! Now I’m vegetarian, but if not, I’d still eat that (well, if my tastebuds haven’t changed on that)

In my Family we eat the smoked back fat from a pig quite often. Its kind of a tradition to eat it every Saturday. We slice it in thin stripes, grind some pepper and salt over ist and put a dash of Maggi seasoning on top. Its very delicious. We use the back fat also for grilling with charcoal. We smear it on the grid where the meat is placed.

It is always a bit funny, when Chinese people say, a dry tomato is horrible, but eating eggs stored in pee (yes, urine) from young boys (only boys, no girls). Tastes are different!

[@cawashka]

8:20 some people actually eat this raw on bread with raw garlic (also popular in eastern europe) lol. It’ll keep you healthy :)

I love how Francisco picked the Sollbruchstellenverursacher 👍

The reason the boiled eggs are colored is because the color is a sealant and easier to check if it covers the entire surface. And it looks nicer too.
