White asparagus and green asparagus, while they are the same plant, are worlds apart. Basically the green asparagus is the asparagus that breached the ground and was exposed to light, while white asparagus was harvested BEFORE that happened. It is less woody and can therefore be thicker (green asparagus beyond a certain width is basically inedible). Traditionally in Germany, white asparagus is cooked in water and then served with boiled potatoes, smoked ham and then either sauce hollandaise or a browned breadcrumb-butter-sauce (very yummy).

[@Lancor84]

both can taste great, depends on what you have and how you cook it.

[@888AshLi]

Yes, but we should still state that we ALSO have green asparagus. I prefer the white one.💖🙂

[@m.h.6470]

Never said, that we didn't have the green ones here in Germany... The white version is much more prevalent though. I remember, that my grandma had an asparagus field and we kids used to run through the lines and look for cracks in the flattened earth mounds (a good sign, that a sprout tries to break through). We then told the adults about it and they came and picked it.

[@888AshLi]

@70It was Ryan who just spoke about the white asparagus in Germany. And you brought up the topic so I answered. 💖🙂

[@twinmama42]

Or you can use the water you cooked the asparagus in to make a soup and a roux, Then serve it with crisp, fluffy German pancakes to have a vegetarian variation. I'm personally not a big fan of sauce hollandaise and prefer the pancake version as it's lighter on the hips.

So maybe it's time to tell you, Brezel (or "pretzel" for some reason) is just the shape, the bread itself is Lye-bread. There are many different types of baked goods made out of "pretzel", things that are much more conducive and practical for eating than the Brezel-shape. Like buns. My favourite is the Laugenecke as seen at 4:24. Imagine a "pretzel" with the consistency of a Croissant shaped like a triangular breadroll.

I think the point is, smoothies AND juices are often promoted to be a healthier alternative to soft drinks (with regular sugar) but they really aren’t. Smoothies at least have some fiber in it, which can be beneficial if your diet doesn’t contain enough fiber. But if someone wants to limit their calorie consumption then they shouldn’t drink smoothies, juice, soft drinks with regular sugar or fancy coffee drinks with large amounts of sugar and cream without being aware of the calories and amount of sugar in it. There was a whole generation raised on the principle „orange juice in the morning is healthy“ when healthy is a tricky term. People who struggle to consume enough calories can benefit, sure. But with the obesity epidemic being the much bigger problem, it’s important to know what calories and macronutrients & micronutrients each drink and food contains.

We do not eat this food daily. That's why many people are not fat. Many families eat cake and pastries only on the weekend and on special occassions. Most days the meals are: breakfast- one or two slices of bread with butter, cold cuts or a slice of cheese (maybe a joghurt or a glass of milk), lunch - a warm meal, mostly home cooked (think of stews, soups, protein with potatoes and veggies) (optional dessert like one popcicle, some pudding or a piece of chocolate), dinner - bread with butter and cheese, cold slices, jam, etc. Sometimes you can have something warm like a light soup. If we have Snacks through the day it is mostly fruit, joghurt, a slice of bread , nuts. Some people eat out more often or have fast food and Snacks, but a big breakfast is mostly for the week end. Eating out gets expensive very quickly. It is a treat. When I was very stressed at work I ate out a lot and went to a bakery every morning, had Döner for lunch and Pizza in the evening. I got fat really fast. You need to stick to the traditional food to keep in shape.

White asparagus grows underground. Farmers prepare their fields with rows of small hills where the asparagus plants grow inside. When cracks appear on top of these hills, experienced workers use a very long push-knife styled tool to cut the asparagii very close to the root so the whole length is harvested. Green asparagus grows above the ground. Asparagii only become green when sunlight can reach them.

For many things it still depends where in Germany you are. I live in Schleswig-Holstein (furthest north, next to Denmark) and tea is extremly common here, also tea houses, like shops only selling hundrets of tea varients often with a small cafe attached. We have a bakery car coming to our house once a week with fresh buns, bread, cake, cookies - I live in the middle of nowhere (well, there is a town 10 min away with 3 bakeries and a vet, a döner, pharmacy, small grocery store, mail office and a butcher. :)... Also like 5 restaurants because we get many tourists here near the baltic sea). Goods in every bakery in Germany look so fresh because they are, many bakers get up as early as 2-3 am in the morning to get all the bread and buns ready for the day! SOme bakerys open as early as 6am, even though 7am is the most common time to open. The "late" ones open around 8am. Dönermeat is normally a tower made from stacked thin meat slices, minced meat, herbs, spices, onions, eggs, oil, milk and joghurt - depending on the type of Döner and place. Many server lamb and chicken as the most common variety, but also bull/calf is pretty common. Apple juice is very common in Germany, also because nearly everyone living in the countyside has a couple of apple trees and produces their own juice or applecause even. Around 33 liters of fruit juice is consumed per head in Germany each year - making us the world record holders. Alone 630.000.000 liters of apple juice were produced in Germany 2022. Our family alone has 7 apple trees, 2 sweet and 2 sour cherry trees, 2 pear trees, 3 plum trees, 1 peach tree and a huge amount of various berry bushes in our garden. :) The typical Fast Food chains like McDonals and stuff taste very different, even compared from a northern more countryside Mc Donalds to a southern big city one. 93%+ of the meat and above 60% of all other produce is bought from German farms/producers. Only in off seasons they buy fresh produce from outside of Germany. Everything is prepared fresh as soon as you order and isn't just sitting in a "heating bay" waiting to be sold like in some other countries. Also the ingredients are extremly reduced and simplified compared to the US - many things would even considered non food safe here that are normal overseas.

Typical Swabian pretzels, for example, have very thin "arms" and a "fat belly" with a split, and a higher fat content. The thicker part makes it easier to slice them for the use of sandwiches. In Bavarian pretzels, the arms are left thicker so they do not bake to a crisp and contain very little fat.

But while we don't have good peanut butter, there are tons of good hazelnut spreads. Asparagus is serious business here and as we are Germans, there are rules for that. White asparagus is the same plant as green asparagus, but the plant is kept from photosynthesising by keeping it covered in soil. Sometimes there is even purple asparagus, which is white asparagus that managed to get a tiny bit of sunlight before being harvested. There is also the thing that the season ends on the 24 of June. Every year.

The original Wiener schnitzel is from Vienna, made from calf meat. The German version is usually made from pork, it is tastier in my opinion.

[@CriticalPoliteness]

Fun fact: I think due to legal reasons you have to call it "Vienna style" if it is made from pork since the original Wienerschnitzel has to be made of calf. I am also pretty sure that this frightening Toasty snack is not allowed to be called that way either.😂 Never saw it in a German household... .

[@HenryLoenwind]

@@CriticalPoliteness For the Toasty, the issue is "Schweinefleisch 60% (zum Teil fein zerkleinert)" ("Pork 60% (partly finely minced)"). For a Schnitzel it would need to be cut from a solid piece, for a Formfleischschnitzel ("Moulded meat schnitzel") it would have to be made from solid pieces of meat that were glued together. As it is, it's more like a breaded slice of sausage or meatloaf. Also, I wouldn't call it frightening. It's quite ok as a snack and better than a candy bar. The consistency is like one of the better artificially formed Chicken Nuggets, but way thinner.

11:42 The kebab was first mentioned in Anatolia in 1936. At that time, the so-called “Sis Kebab” was still grilled on a horizontal spit over charcoal. Only mutton was used. It happened in Berlin: Legend has it that Kadir Nurman was the first to put meat in a flatbread in 1972 and invented the kebab version that was so popular in Germany. A “doner kebab” or “döner” consists of thin pieces of beef/veal and/or mutton/lamb threaded onto a rotisserie. Minced meat can also be used to make a kebab skewer, but up to a maximum of 60 percent.

Perhaps it even has to be clarified that in Germany you are only allowed to call it "juice" if it is made 100% out of apples. As soon as you put artifical sugar in it you have to name it "Nektar"/nectar. I wonder whether this is the same in the US.🤔

TooGoodToGo: The stores can put together "bags". If it is selling vegetables and fruit, you might get a bag that contains those. Or a restaurant putting a to-go-box together They usually put the "normal" price (though I doubt it adds up) and the discounted price there. I've used it a few times and usually got WAY more value than was put there. I've also gotten halved veggies (which were either going bad or for display?) and some smushed things There's lots of variety (I know there is a small shop selling beers that sometimes puts up a "bag" with 6-8 bottles of beer for way cheaper - but you won't know what you get. So if you're allergic or have food intolerances, you might not be able to use what you get All in all: it is a great way to try and help prevent throwing out good stuff that - for whatever reason - couldn't be usually sold in stores. Every time I've used them I got like 2-5kg of veggies and fruit for 3-4 EUR instead of the proclaimed 10-12 EUR (as stated: I doubt the value put as "normal" actually reflects "normal" ;-) ) Regarding peanut butter: The only use I see for it is in Asian-cuisine-sauces XD

Schnitzels are thinly sliced pieces of meat in which the original bone has been removed. Most of the time they are also pounded flat with a meat mallet (flattening iron) or pressed flat with a meat roller, which makes the meat more tender by breaking up the muscle fibers. In Switzerland, schnitzels are also called Plätzli. In English, the word schnitzel always refers to a breaded schnitzel in the style of Wiener Schnitzel. The English word for schnitzel comes from the French language and is escalope. Well-known veal or beef schnitzel dishes are: Wiener Schnitzel: breaded veal schnitzel Munich Schnitzel: The veal schnitzel is spread with a paste of sweet mustard and horseradish before breading. Pretzel crumbs are used for the breading. (Schnitzel) Cordon bleu: breaded veal schnitzel filled with ham and cheese Schnitzel (à la) Holstein: veal schnitzel with fried egg and fish canapés
