What do Germans eat? Most popular Dishes in Germany

[@thomashunter3063]

My favorite German dishes are Bavarian: Schweinshaxe mit Kartoffelkloesse und Blaukraut, and for dessert Kaiser-Schmarrn. Rahmschnitzel mit pommes is awfully good, too! I'm originally from Alabama but lived 5.5 years in Germany and LOVED every minute!

[@cooking-the-world]

Hahahaha! Glad you loved every monute of it!:) and more glad that dishes from here are your favorite!

[@MayimHastings]

My moms side of the family is of Pennsylvania German heritage. We all just had pork, sauerkraut, dumplings and kale for New Years dinner lol. It’s just funny to know that all of our prized family dishes come from 19’th century Germans. Very cool! Thank you so much for showing us your amazing food and culture! Happiest New Year!

[@ehsfrac]

I'm from Sweden and I love traditional food. "Fläsk med löksås" for instance, which is fried pork belly with onion sauce. Wiener Schnitzel is another favourite as is Eisbein mit Sauerkraut!

[@cooking-the-world]

I just googled the dish - it looks 🤤

[@davidchappell4759]

Being half German I love German food. My Great Grand parents came for Husum and could Grandma cook.

[@bengaljam4550]

While stationed in Germany I always ordered the Veal Cordon Bleu. I would pay $500 to have that same meal presented to me right now.

[@WeijuWu]

I'm from Berlin, so some of my favorite dishes are Döner Kebab, Currywurst and Königsberger Klopse.

[@cooking-the-world]

We will be going to Berlin very probably in October to film. I was wondering, if there are any other dishes to try apart from the obvious (Döner and Currywurst).

[@davisjtc]

I would say most of my favorite foods growing up in Canada were actually dishes that members of my family brought over from Europe, such as Welsh Rarebit, curries, and the traditional roast beef dinner with Yorkshire puddings from the UK, and weiner schnitzel and currywurst that my dad fell in love with when he spent time in Germany in the late '70s.

[@francisslyker3669]

Times certainly have changed! I think everyone in the world likes Italian food! When I traveled through Germany, in 1963, I was living as economically as possible. It may have been there but I sure never ran across pizza! It was sausages, potato salad and the like. I enjoy that kind of things. The one simple item that stands out in my memory was at the deli counter in the Munich Hofbrau. For "ein mark" I got a nice thick slice of the best, hot, meatloaf that I ever encountered. For another mark, two equally large slices of bread. This with a beer, was my kind of feast!

[@omaruth]

Loved all the dishes. My favorite were rounded with potatoes dumpling and my all time favorite us sauerbraten with home fries or potatoes dumplings alone with cucumber salad, and also loved it with creamed spinach. These dishes remind me so much of my mom.

[@RandeT73]

I'm in the US, I actually have German ancestry on both sides of my family. My husband is also part German. We love all sorts of German foods. Now I can tell him to quit picking on me when I eat pineapple on my pizza, and just tell him I'm getting in touch with my German roots.

[@cooking-the-world]

Hello Martha!! I'm Italian, and I'm very impressed to see that pizza, spaghetti all a Bolognese (the traditional are tagliatelle, fresh pasta , as you explain, prepared with flour and egg, 1 egg for 100 grams of flour, ) and lasagna with meat sauce and bechamel are in the three first position!!!! I love and prepared all this things, but no pineapple on pizza for Italians!!! All that Germans food looks delicious,I hope one day to come and visit Germany and try all your specialties!!! Have a nice weekend!!

Hahahah! Thanks! I am glad you also enjoyed the German dishes. I will keep my fingers crossed that one day you will get to try those German dishes that you are fond of!🤩

[@davidholiday4494]

Hi Marta: Great video - having lived near Detmold in the north I ate many dishes of Grunkohl mit Pinkel - I never knew it was kale until in the last 10 years kale became so popular in the UK. I love all of the dishes in the video - and when I lived in Essen I worked in the kitchen of a restaurant there and that is how I learned about knodel and dumplings. While in Essen my partner and I were quite poor so we used to have (I am ashamed to say) "Miracoli" quite often. We didn't have an oven - just a hotplate. It is difficult to say what my favorite food is but I do love chicken - fried or roast and many pasta dishes. I am from the states but have lived in Europe for over 40 years - so I have experienced many different foods. Tripe done in the Madrid style I also love - as I told you before. The book you showed looks very interesting. I must try and find a copy - I have a large collection of cooking books, I hope you and your family are well. Schone grusse!!!

[@cooking-the-world]

Oh that sounds wonderful! That had to be wonderful time in your life here in Europe! And don’t worry about Miracoli, it was a part of everyone’s childhood! My husband had it at least twice a month because his parents couldn’t cook 🤣

The flavour and quality! Now I'm hungry. My Mom introduced me to many of these dishes (she is Frankfurt by birth, and Badische "adopted" of sorts). I have never tried Königsberger Klopse from the north - one day!

[@jimfrodsham7938]

Moin Marta, I love them all so it's difficult to chose a favourite. Maybe klops and rouladen made with steak and filled with chopped onions and speck.

[@michaelwittkopp3379]

When I first came to Germany in 1972, beef steak wasn't unknown, but it was uncommon. (And more often than not, not done good.) If you went to a butcher and asked for “steak”, you got pork steak. I think of (beef) steak as one of those Ami dishes that became popular over time. Same as with spaghetti bolognese. Italian heritage G.I.s brought it over and it stuck...even in Italian restaurants in Germany. Kind of like wearing jeans...which was fairly popular in Germany in the early 70s, but if you ask even older than me Germans, you'll see that in the early 60s, it wasn't. I can remember that only one of my cousins (female) ever wore jeans. (Made my aunt frown too.)

[@cooking-the-world]

Right! Its interesting how the cuisines influenced each other. And you are so right about the steak! Next week I will be talking about food trends and I really wonder which of those will stick like Bolognese...

[@michaelwittkopp3379]

Indeed, food trends come and go. Only parts of them have an actual value and stick around.

[@Nechama-redfish1124]

My favorite is the Brathänchen from the little stands at the markets.

[@rogerhuber3133]

I grew up near Baltimore, MD from German heritage. One of our favorite dishes was Sour Beef & Dumplings. I never got the recipe and have been unable to reproduce it. I always assumed it was brought over from Bavaria by the family and was a common German dish.

[@cooking-the-world]

Actually as mentioned Sauerbraten is typical for Saxony, Franconia and Rheinland:) but Franconia is Bavaria so you are right;)

[@HannibalFan52]

I'm from New York, and have mixed European ancestry; German, northern Italian, Danish, Dutch, and who knows what else. My culinary taste is eclectic, but i do love a good sauerbraten, bratwurst, etc., along with a few Italian/French dishes. Sadly, I'm not too familiar with Danish or Dutch cooking, so that is something I'm going to have to explore. One of my all-time favorite dishes is quintessentially British: rare roast beef with Yorkshire pudding. We have that for Christmas dinner every year.

[@cooking-the-world]

I love the roast beef with Yorkshire pudding too!😎

[@HannibalFan52]

[@robertzander9723]

Uiuiui, everything looked so delicious. I personally would start w? from number 4 to 10, lasagne and spaghetti Bolognese maybe once a year and pizza around two or three times a year. I prefer the cabbage and beef roulades, the meatballs from Königsberg or a nicely Hühnerfrikassee. One of my favourites also is spinach with potatoes and boiled eggs. My grandma had a lot of old Prussian recipes.

[@cooking-the-world]

It's interesting to see that most of the dishes that Germany is known for (like pork roast or knuckle) arent even our favorite. And you choices are very Northern German :)

You are right. Thankfully in Germany they are transparent about it. If the pizzeria uses Gouda or Emmentaler than you see on the menu "Pizza with tomato sauce, cheese (....)". If pizzeria uses Mozzarella they say "Pizza with tomato sauce, mozzarella (....)". It would drive me crazy if I had to ask each time what cheese they use...
