Well, I was kinda surprised when you said that the Prince biscuits are the German Oreo cause they are obviously the French Oreo. So I looked up and turned out they are the Belgian Oreo. (the other surprise was when Ethan said that Kinder eggs were German. The name sounds German but the thing is Italian)

Toffifee and Werther's Original are both fairly popular and widely available in the United States, though for the American market they renamed Toffifee to Toffifay to better reflect American English phonetics. You can easily find both in any American supermarket.

The German Grandma Candy experience was spot on. I'm glad Ethan got the full German Grandma experience... Only the empty cookie box filled with money or random stuff was missing for the 100% experience.

[@Hamurator]

Just for the record: The original Spezi is done by Riegele, a local brewery in Augsburg, Bavaria. Decades ago they did the (from a current perspective) dumb move to give Paulaner the license to make Spezi without paying any fees and as Paulaner is the much bigger and more known brewery a lot of people think Paulaner is the inventor of Spezi.

Mozart Kugeln! I'm from the US, and when I was a kid (~10) my mother would bring back Mozart Kugeln whenever she went to Vienna on a business trip (which was about 10x/year). They came in these metal tins and were fantastic.

The sweets at 10:08 are called "Eiskonfekt" for a reason...you're supposed to put them in the fridge or even the freezer and eat them cold, they get way better then!

[@TheSwedishRider]

Actually they are called like that because they feel cold without refrigerating them, which is because of the low melting point of the coconut fat. The same applies to "Kalter Hund".

[@dereinzigwahreRichi]

@@TheSwedishRider I don't know exactly about the Eiskonfekt, but my grandparents always had this in the fridge. Kalter Hund is meant to be served cold and needs to be refrigerated when making it for the cocoa filling to solidify.

I met Americans and offered them Mett (raw pork) and they looked at me like I offered them a prick of plutonium or some. Guess who ate 4 portions after they tried it😂👌 Btw 5 days isn't quite right, it's only allowed to sell the day it's made.

[@geneard639]

It's a toss up as to why Americans are suspicious of raw pork, it could be related to historic European based cultural food taboos, but for my mom's family, a mix of Native American tribes of the Gulf Coast, swine was considered flat out alien... Except for that one great uncle who decided to raise them to sell. Pigs are old world animals, so that makes sense. Dad's side eats pork though. My mom's silent protest to his demand to cook pork chops was to render them into charcoal.

[@SLMK-rk7ht]

It's due to parasites such as Trichinella. Uncooked pork usually has this type of worm. There are many instances where people who eat under cooked pork get parasite that will travel to their brain and eat holes through it. So yeah enjoy it ;-)

[@christopherstein2024]

And you should never eat mass produced raw pork in the USA, it's nearly always contaminated with worms and others things that must be killed of by cooking it. Only in countries like Germany with their extreme food safety regulations it's save to eat raw pork from the supermarket!

This gets me a little nostalgic. After moving to another country, my grandmother in Germany always sent us packages from Germany with typical German snacks. When I started studying and got packages sent directly to me, hanuta, baumkuchen and (slightly embarrassing) curry king were absolute life savers, especially after a few beers or when pulling all nighters.

Romans 3:23 For all have sined and felt short of the Glory of God. For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Romans 1:18‭-‬21‭, ‬23 KJV Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God?

Fun fact: Spezi is actually a brand name so there's really only the original Spezi and the Paulaner Spezi shown in the clip (which is different, apparently Paulaner bought the rights to make their own Spezi from the original creator of the brand way back in the 60s or smth) with all the other versions being called "Cola Mix" or something like that.

[@Whitehills0815]

Bonus fact: It is a brand name that you can actually buy a license to. Most companies don't want to pay that. So they call their drink Cola Mix or something. Paulaner is special though, because they bought a perpetual license before the whole brand was well established (so before there were yearly fees). The founder/brand company is officially still kinda mad about that.

[@AutoReport1]

Coca-Cola's is mezzo mix

[@PoppyGaming43]

then how did spezi try to sue paulaner because of the name?

[@gunarliepins]

@@PoppyGaming43 Bc as I said, Paulaner bought the rights to make their own Spezi all the way back in the 60s or 70s for a really small sum (I think around 10.000 marks back in the day), and now Paulaner makes millions every year selling that drink, and the original Spezi brand want some of that cash, so they tried to argue that a) they could cancel the deal they made back then and b) that Paulaner today isn't entitled to the same deal that Paulaner back then made (since the company changed and reformed at some point in the 80s or so) Both arguments were rather flimsy even from a laymans point of view, so it wasn't a huge surprise that the court ruled against them.

Earlier today, my girlfriend and I watched ProZD rate a bunch of Campbell Soups, and we both thought of how... to an American, these are flavors and tastes that carry cultural and personal significance. Many Americans watching probably had some, wrapped up in a blanket battling a bad cold when they were 9, watching cartoons or something. But I would _never_ try it, because it would just be canned soup. Same with most of these snacks. Barring some, they're just... candy or softdrinks or salty fried snacks. You can get those anywhere. And Ethan has his own collection of shitty snacks he grew up with that Andong just wouldn't get.

Harzer is made of the whey after making cheese. In former times it used to be a poor man's food, nowadays it is annoyingly expensive. The Harzer cheese in the video wasn't ripe yet.

Russisch Brot is supposedly named so because the baker who introduced it in Germany in the 19th century, one Friedrich Wilhem Hanke of Dresden, claimed to have encountered the recipe in St Petersburg when he was a baker's apprentice there. Allegedly, the original idea came from a teacher who used it to familiarize his pupils, who already knew Cyrillic script, with Latin script. A different hypothesis has been postulated by Bahlsen bakery, who have been making Russisch Brot since 1904: The "Russisch" does not actually refer to the Russian country/language/people, but is a bastardisation of the word "rösch", a local term for "crispy" or "crunchy".

Viennese Niemetz has their "Schwedenbomben", which is of course still a mass produced product, but not as bad as Storck with a much better recipe and better ingredients. They are noticeably more expensive, but in terms of taste it is so much better than this Dickmann’s stuff. I tried a Dickmann’s twice in my life. That has been enough to make me never want to get close to these things again.

There is a Classic from Frankfurt called "Handkäs' mit Musik", mainly Harzer Roller pickled with vinegar and diced onions, loads of kümmel. You eat it with good bread made from sourdough with a think layer of Butter and some Salt. Questions about the music? The music comes with digestion... The less kümmel, the more music. You're Welcome! (You serve ist with truckloads of "Äbbelwoi". Apfelwein, a superdry, vinegar-smelling cider from Frankfurt - it is the worst. Incredibly dry. I'd go for french cidre).

Actually, It would have been a good idea to ask him, which german snacks Ethan knows from home (and is able to get there) and buy the exact same ones. Turns out, our snacks like Tofiffe or Riesen are a lot less sugary/sweet than in the Americas.

Fassbrause currently is a mix of malt and fruit extracts, although the original version was apple juice and liquorice. Sometimes spices are added as well. Apparently the inventor of it (1908) was trying to make a non-alcoholic beer for his kids. Oh! I've had jelly bananas! I love them! (yes, I'm weird)

Just to set this straight: Reber Mozartkugeln are from Germany, the best known Austrian version is made by Mirabell (now owned by US company Mondelez 😱 and insolvent). Invented however by Konditorei Fürst in Salzburg. In Austria you will have a hard time finding the Reber version. But since Mozart himself as well as his birthplace Salzburg sometimes were German, sometimes Austrian … who cares? 🤷‍♂️

[@Veiquosa]

The Reber Version is produced in Bad Reichenhall. It’s liks 15 minutes away from Salzburg. In my opinion, the Reber is the best version followed by Fürst

But important fact to bear in mind: German Fanta is much tangier, less sweet-tasting than most Fantas in the world. It tastes closer to sparkling orange juice than anywhere, I've tried, in the world. USA, South America, Eastern Europe - it tastes like liquified orange candy. Also it is much paler.

One of the biggest things about Mett is that raw pork can be dangerous to consume similar to raw chicken. Raw pork is associated with trichinosis which is why I was always told to avoid it. Beef and fish (excluding shellfish) do not have the same issues although they can

9:33 for the jelly bananas you HAVE TO try the East German variant which is fabricated by a Thuringian chocolate fabricant called "Berggold".

Personally I would wait til Easter for a visit to Poland. My Polish friend usually shows me a home feast that she would cook every year for the occasion, so I would be super curious about what the masses of Polish people do on the holiday, on a larger scale. I think that would be a very interesting food tour for everyone to see :D

13:40 According to the company, Russian bread is derived from “Rösches Brod” (rösch = crispy; Brod = sweet baked goods). The term “Russian bread” is therefore based on a folk etymological reinterpretation.

Hey Andong, a dish that I really liked when I grew up in germany was Milchreis (both by Müller company and selfmade). Could you make a video where you dive into the history a bit and then try to make it?

[@Daniel-dj7fh]

You need a certain sort of rice, and you cook it in milk

[@hmvollbanane1259]

That's extremely easy: take a pot, pour some full-fat-milk (4:1 milk:rice ratio) in it, add the content of a vanillabean and some sugar to your liking, bring it to a boil, add round-grain rice (in Germany it is specifically sold as Milchreis, but pretty much any starchy round-grain type should do), take it off the heat, put a lid on and tightly wrap the pot in your bed blanket and put it into your bed for a couple of hours. Sprinkle some cinnamon-sugar onto it if you like it sweeter, otherwise it's great on its own, with fruit, applesauce, cooked cherries, etc.

[@christopherstein2024]

This brought me back! I was an exchange student in high school, and I went back about 4 years ago. Spezi is delicious, but I usually bought Mezzo Mix(coca-cola's brand of the same mix).

The Super Dickmanns reminds me of Malomars- looks super similar to this seasonal treat here in the US. It’s a cookie topped with a round bit of whipped marshmallow and chocolate

[@zerotonic2659]

The secret of the good taste of Spezi in fact is: don't mix it 50/50! For a good Spezi you have to mix it 70/30 Fanta/Cola. Nearly everybody mixes it wrong. Try the 70/30 mix. And you will know what I mean. ;)

For the Handkäs: Es handelt sich um einen Käse aus Magerquark, der mit einem Quirl zerkleinert und dem Natron und Salz zugesetzt werden. Sein Fettgehalt liegt bei weniger als einem Prozent, sein Eiweißanteil bei 25 Prozent. Its a Cheese made from Quark. If you really want to enjoy it propperly, put in a dressing, with some onions and some caraway seeds, let it sit there until it nearly melts out of your fridge, put it on the heating element of your flat and let it sit there, till it says hello, once you enter the living from (from the smell, dont let it rot). It has a really strong taste, but actually, it is pretty healthy with low fat and high protein contents

We have those chocolate squares here in Canada. My family calls them “icy squares” because we eat them frozen. They are much less sweet and therefor more edible this way 😁

[@ErklaerMirDieWelt]

Fassbrause was invented by a chemist as a fake beer for his kid. It's malt and water with fruit juice, sugar and herbs. There is an American product called Apple Beer based on the original recipe. The fruit juice component can vary though, the most popular in Germany is the red cherry flavored one I think.

The Spezi I used to have as a kid wasn't premixed, the restaurant just put a bottle of coke and a bottle of fanta into a pilsner glass. Back then, fanta bottles were smaller than coke bottles, so it was 330 ml coke to 300 ml fanta. For some reason, this cost less than the combined price of one coke and one fanta.

well, thank goodness for this video.

[@hmvollbanane1259]

Depends on where you are. In the bigger cities like Berlin definitely, however in the countryside they are still colloquial called Mohrenkopf or Negerkuss. after all Neger never had the same meaning as the N-word in English as the German equivalent to that is "Bimbo", guess it became unfashionable due to its similarity and hence use in translations of American movies and series but the word itself doesn't have anywhere near the same connotations to it and is still occasionally used in the countryside
