Australian here, definitely butter under honey and I thought everybody cut a bread roll through the middle (not from the top)!

[@djvillan]

Only cut hot dog buns from the top.

[@Sweepout]

I live in the Midwestern US and everyone I’ve seen cut them from the side too. Maybe its just her quirky thing or something lol!

[@Lacrete74]

As a French I eat croissants without anything on it! :-)

Me, as a german too! 😄🤝🏼

[@Miristzuheiss]

Croissant with camembert and berry jam. Without butter

[@wWvwvV]

It's amazing that people from US (Deana) could prefer Matjes over the cheaper option (probably breaded and fried fish). I haven't had Matjes in a long time, I crave it.

[@scottscottsdale7868]

Deana's German is getting a lot better. good job.

[@tonyp7527]

Brothaus for breakfast. I typically get the Mohnschneke 1.95, Doner for lunch 6.50, Doner for dinner 6.50. Total= 14.95 Doners all day if you find a good one. I know Phil would agree.

[@Sweepout]

I really like being able to see Deanna ordering like that. Im supposed to visit Germany in a couple months and im nervous about ordering things and stuff since i dont ever get to practice german in Indiana but it’s comforting to at least get an idea of what’s appropriate way to ask to order something! :)

[@kdeleon25]

Missed your videos over the break! Happy to see you both back exploring again.

[@McMicday]

schön wieder ein vid von euch auch 2023 zu sehen. da der döner mittlerweile 7€ kostet dafür aber auch kleiner geworden ist, hol ich mir lieber currywurst (2,30€) o schaschlik (4,60€) pommes mayo (3,20€) oder ein gyros teller mit pommes zwiebeln tzatziki (9€). mal ehrlich wer macht schon bessere pommes wie die gute alte pommes bude :)

So very nice to watch the two of you 'almost' live again! You have become a part of many peoples vicarious lives through the years, mine included. We understand completely the necessity for a break from the hassle of entertaining us, but we are happy that y'all are back! Had the opportunity to live in Dortmund for most of2006, was great to see familiar locations, if not the same restaurant names. The work and stress that you both face from making these videos is appreciated by all of us, appreciate each one!

I'm American and I agree with Phil. Bread is always better with more butter. Especially for breakfast. Germans know their bread!

[@wurlabyscott]

Small world, while visiting Germany I ate at a Chinese restaurant in small town and talking to the owner I also ate at his cousins restaurant in Sacramento.

[@ericnorthman9410]

I like the look of the sandwich for breakfast. Making me hungry ...

[@HenryDorset]

Croissants with Butter or Jam? Neither nor … I do it like the French and just dip it in my Coffee. Doesn't get better! 😀

[@madhatterdo5458]

On a Crossaint there is no need for Butter underneath the Honey. But it's oretty useful on a slice of bread, to prevent the Honey from just oozing through the pores ^^ Oh und 1 Brötchen bei Backwerk mit Karte zahlen ist auch schon wild. Oder eher noch. Wir schließen, was Plastic Money (Wie Falco gerne sagte) angeht, ja langsam zu z.B. Amerika oder Japan auf

Hi Guys, great video! Phil, you mentioned the store Lidl. We had one of those near us in Charlotte NC, absolutely loved that place. Keep going with the videos, love them.

[@loki200]

Honey on bread-ish things, always WITH butter!

[@S_Black]

Those breakfast menus are good. But definitely on the expensive side for what you get

[@freibier]

Yeah, that is a recent thing. It is absolutely insane how much prices have gone up at the bakeries in the last year or so. A simple sandwich at the bakery has gone up from like 3.50 Euros to 5 Euros or even more. This breakfast would have cost the same 6 Euro, but INCLUDING the coffee a year or two ago.

[@DeanaandPhil]

100%! We did this 10 Euro challenge half a year ago. It seems like we can only buy the same food 6 months later, because prices have increased so much!

[@S_Black]

@@freibier I understand not getting a fancy espresso based drink. But a small cup of black coffee should be included at least

[@norwegianblue2017]

Cheaper than California prices.

[@SABRINA.ARMY.BTS.]

For me butter needs to be underneath everything ! 😂

[@thirdefying]

Omg you guys are back! Been over a month si ve your last vlog and I miss your fun videos. Also are you using a new camera? So clear and crisp!

[@philipohmes9395]

I would go to the Metzgerei and buy some Aufschnitt, then to a Bakery to get Wasser Brötchen for my first meal of the day. Imbiß Stube for half a roasted chicken and Gemischtes Salad and then if the Open Air Markets are open, finish off the day with fresh fruit. That was a typical day of eats for me, while visiting Hildesheim or Freiburg im Breisgau or Bocholt.

[@zeideerskine3462]

Having the Caesar Style fries from the Frittenküche and the Dönertasche from Oliv Grill for dinner and a belegtes Brötchen from Lidl for Breakfast you would have enough money to split a Schnitzel at Schmackes for lunch. That sounds like a reasonable approach to a touristy budget day for two.

[@GoodPunk]

I would try to find some restaurants around the university. Those are typically very cheap, but often still very good.

[@ryangies4798]

Don’t get me wrong, my love for German bread runs deep but mein Gott(!)… so many carbs. If you’re getting proper exercise it’s not an issue when you’re young but after 40 years old, your doctor will definitely give you a dose of reality.

[@Pauline-mz2gq]

No croissant without additional butter on it! And the jam on top 😀

[@SD-uk1pp]

Video challenge for you- could you eat gluten free for 24hrs in Germany? So many of your videos feature amazing bread and cakes, but what about people who can't eat gluten- can they still find good tasting food..........?

[@MichaelAlthauser]

This is a GREAT question. It's so much easier to do these kinds of food challenges with no dietary restrictions.

[@djvillan]

I remember a little over 10 years ago currywurst mit pommes was only €1.

[@verazimmer5644]

Definetely not...

[@Mirabella492]

Very nice video! I asked that already a few weeks ago but can you please make a video or tell me what (food) presents would be nice to bring to America from Germany for when you’re visiting? Like what isn’t available there and would make a special present? Thank you 🙏🏻

[@sluggo206]

Bread. Dense rye or pumpernickel. These are hard to find in the US. Or cakes like D&P have in German cafes. These may be hard to carry on a plane without them getting smooshed or stale, but perhaps you can find smaller sizes in more durable gift packaging.

[@IT-fx6fk]

My American friends always buy many different sweets like white milka and kinder products! And they also bought many packages of Knorr "Würstchen Gulasch" 🤢😂😂😂 they tried it once at a friend's place and loved it forever 🙈🤷🏼‍♀️

[@Mirabella492]

@@IT-fx6fk and sorry to bother but what Sweets exactly? Because I saw on some American KZbin videos that they do have stuff like Milka and Ferrero and I even saw an American ad for Kinder bueno… but yeah, maybe not the special kinds…🤔

[@sluggo206]

​@@Mirabella492 Those flat round cookies in a tube are common in Eastern Europe and probably in Germany but not in the US. They're sometimes called Marie biscuits but also have other names. Some have a chocolate filling. They're wider and thinner than Oreos and less sweet; some people dunk them in tea. I found them easily at Russian supermarkets and kiosks and they were made by Turkish and maybe German manufacturers. You could get a few of those for little money; their packaging is durable; they won't go stale; and Americans will find them an unusual treat. especially if the packaging has foreign language(s) on it.

[@Christina-Maria_von_Gusinski]

Why don't you eat at the canteen (Mensa) at the universaty? You can also get a meal around 5,00 € there as a guest.

[@michelleschulman914]

2.80 Euro is really unheard of for a substantial bread roll sandwich in the states. Even at DD a bagel and cream cheese is $4.

Definitely with butter under the honey. Of course also with Nutella rolls. There's no discussion there.. 😉

[@jaehaspels9607]

Ooh...I've always heard about the currywurst in Germany. My friend visited there and said it's so good. I can't believe the Euro is equal to the dollar now. What happened? 1 Euro equaled $2.50 the last I heard. All of the food looked good. The Egyptian rice bowl; well, you got quite a bang for the buck there. It had a lot of nutritional value.

[@irfanb4332]

Just honey for me! I agree that is the way to cut your roll. But just to shock people, I would cut it the ‘wrong’ way. I would also cut my pasta with a knife in Italy and I would also explicitely ask for pinapple on my pizza in Italy. 😊

2:10 I thought everybody scissor bread like that

[@nikkibee187]

Nordsee used to be my go-to for inexpensive lunch, but then recently the bread I got had freezer burn, so that put me off of it a bit. There's a really nice place near Uni Wien that sells different curries every day and rice for less than 4 euros. Combine that with Anker or Ströck and a salad from the grocery store for dinner, and that's what I typically do, and it's usually a lot less than 20 euros. You two have inspired me though, so I am going to do this for my Instagram stories with the ten euro challenge finally since I have a month-long break coming up.

[@live4god4]

Have you ever been to Bonn?

[@nikkibee187]

AAAAAAAHHHH!!! I've actually been to Dortmund! :DDDD And I'm not born in Germany. But I think you are both somewhat right about the butter and bread thing. I don't need anything on my croissants. The best thing for me is a plain croissant with a nice espresso-based drink. Buuuuut, when I am really sick and have no appetite the only thing I can get myself to eat are Semmeln (Kaiser rolls for Americans reading this) with butter and honey. It's the simplest comfort food I've ever known.

[@LythaWausW]

I try to eat mostly orange and reddish food *lol* This made me realize that my two favorite foods, Doritos and Watermelon fit that as well as all the curries and tomatenmmark based sauces I eat. However I hate red tea. I just had half a Laugenecke with butter and tomatenmark, they should sell them like that.

[@Ekkis25]

To be fair, Deana's lunch was big enough to carry over to dinner, if Phil hadn't munched on it!

It's 2kg of butter IN the croissant, and it is 200% better with butter ON it as well, and that is only 10g of butter. :-) The 10g ON the croissant is not gonna kill you! HAHAHAHA

Yep, butter ALWAYS goes under honey. It's the only way to guarantee a smooth and velvety honey experience. No one in Germany smears honey directly onto any kind of bread. Same with jam and marmalade. Just make sure it's REAL butter, not that cheap margarine crap.

[@colinstu]

what kind of psychopath cuts a bread roll down the middle like that?! xD yeah, agree with Phil here on this, and I'm in the US too. Oh yeah, and def butter + any other topping (honey/jam/etc), better than without butter.

[@tichtran8792]

A cookie for breakfast?! LOL. But then it makes sense. Like how people eat crossiant for breakfast in europe. But the irony is that crossaint evolved from a austrian COOKIE called Kipferi. Although most people will called a kipferi a bread roll but to me it is more of a cooke. And from a GERMAN speaking country(Austria). So people in Germany should be happy with eating a crossaint.
