East Germany Jeden Donnerstag war Suppen-/Eintopftag: Weiße Bohnen, Linsen, Graupen, Möhren, Erbsen, etc Jeden Freitag gabs eine Süßspeise z.B. Milchreis, Griesbrei, Puddingsuppe, Eierkuchen mit Apfelmus

[@Tamili351]

I'm from germany, too. But for us dinner was the most important meal We often had: -Frikadellen oder Bratwürste mit Kartoffelbrei und Sauerkraut oder Rotkraut -Spinat mit Kartoffeln und Spiegelei -Haschee mit Nudeln -Gulasch mit Nudeln -Strammer Max -Rouladen mit Knödel und Rotkraut -Gebackene Nudeln -Nudelauflauf -Lasagne -Spaghetti Bolognese And I prefer table water I only drink sparkling water with juice or Riesling 😂

[@worldwidevivi2018]

As a German spinach with potatoes and egg was a huge thing that we had quite often as well. Also pasta bakes or Bauernfrühstück. Sweet meals we had at school as well were definitely Eierkuchen (pancakes), Milchreis (creamy rice) or Grießbrei. And I was also brought up with sparking water but now I prefer still water too

[@evab.6948]

Yes to all of that!

[@irian42]

Pancakes with Nutella! We always had some kind powdered soup before so that the lunch would "last longer"

I always hated spinach and always refused to eat it. It looks as if a cow lost it, if you know what I mean. I don't even like the smell of it.

I knew a girl who went to Germany as an exchange student. She said one meal they had things to make sandwiches. Or that's what she thought. She started putting on a bunch of meat and cheese. She looked up to see the horrified faces looking at her. She then found out only one thin slice of meat and or cheese was supposed to be used.

[@legumesss]

Yup very true. We also don't really make sandwiches (unless as a snack to go) but just eat slices of bread with something on top

[@jejwood]

I live in the US, and my mom was from Germany. She passed away four years ago, but six months before she passed I made sure to make her walk me step-by-step through her potato salad recipe. I'm so glad I got it and can now continue to pass it on.

[@anoukanouk5595]

We eat Hackbraten instead of Falscher Hase (same thing), still a favorite food.

[@DoktorIcksTV]

Bei uns war da schon ein Unterschied. Falscher Hase hatte in der Mitte einige hart gekochte Eier und eine Kruste aus Semmelbrösel. Hackbraten hatte in die Hackmasse Möhren und Lauch eingearbeitet, keine Eier und keine Kruste. Ich selbst mache inzwischen einen falschen Hasen-Hackbraten, bei mir kommt alles rein :D Wichtig: Im Römertopf garen! Ohne Römertopf kein Hackbraten und kein Falscher Hase.

[@sapphirecamui6447]

BOTH! but why bacon?! ewwww! chicken meat of beef! or no meat at all. The one with mayo was the traditional holiday potato salad, in winter. rarely made in summer. the one with oil and vinegar was for summer. Also, greetings from Romania!

[@marksmith9566]

@@sapphirecamui6447 Bacon is an American thing. All the restaurants started serving "German Potato Salad" and it always had bacon.

[@heidicolville4961]

I love bratwurst and bratkartoffle and also Schnitzel - chicken or pork. I make both these myself here at home in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. My Dad was from Hamburg and my Mom is from a small village outside of Salzburg so I get both a German and Austrian influence growing up. Saurbraten was also something we had sometimes. Knoedel was from my Mom's side. I really love Fleishknoedel and Zwetchenknoedel. My Mom use to also make Apfel Strudel, Marble cake and Plum cakes - so so good. From my Dad I like, in small amounts, pickled herring and labschkau (corned beef mixed into mashed potatoes and with a bit of cut up pickle) and one really favorite that I still make Rolladen. Sourkraut, Rotkohl and Grunkohl were also things we would have sometimes. For breakfast we ate a lot of eggs - fried and boiled with toast and sometime bacon or ham on the side. Lunches were often aufschnit mit brodt und kase. So many food memories from when I was growing up.

[@jensgoerke3819]

I fondly remember "Szegediner Gulasch" - bite-sized beef pieces stewed in Sauerkraut (with a bit of pineapple), "Ananassauerkraut", served with potatoes.

In our danish household growing up, breakfast was oatmeal or cornflakes with cold milk. For lunch was ryebread with whatever. (Which why I hate ryebread to this day, like Phil hates fizzy water today) And then warm dinner like your frikadellen or that hare-thing too, meatloaf. Or chicken, roast, ricedish, fish fillet and others. And very rarely dessert.

Luv you guys, you should do cooking videos. My German mom has been gone for 2.5 years now. I soooo miss her cooking!!

[@seleyav.7101]

Meine Kindheit war 80er und 90er Jahre in Sachsen (also auch DDR): wir hatten viele Suppen und Eintöpfe, Milchreis, Grießbrei, Haferflocken (porridge?), es gab Innereien (Leber, Lunge, Herz, Gehirn), viele Gerichte mit Hackfleisch (falscher Hase, Hackbällchen, Königsberger Klopse), Reis, Nudeln, viel Gemüse und Obst. "Richtiges Fleisch", also Braten, Gulasch, Schnitzel, Rouladen usw. gab es meist nur sonntags oder zu Feiertagen. Ich liebe bis heute Jägerschnitzel nach Art DDR: Jagdwurstscheiben paniert und gebraten, dazu Nudeln und Tomatensoße! Im Winter haben wir nach dem Toben im Schnee gern Speckfettbemmen (Brot mit Speckfett) und Tee gehabt, war echt lecker. Frühstück und Abendbrot war meist Brot mit was drauf oder Reste vom Mittagessen. Ich hatte viel Glück, meine Oma hat mindestens 1x pro Woche gebacken, Süßes gab es also genug.

[@virre1981]

Sweden and Germany seems to have a lot in common, Breakfast matches (though porridge with cinnamon was a thing growing up, except I hate porridge), but the bread with butter and a slice of something. Lunches was in school, I hated it and refused to eat it. But it was overcooked Spaghetti with "meat-sauce" (so probably the same thing) and Ketchup (sorry but I. do not understand how bad the Spaghetti was abused), or fish (and indeed fish-sticks) / meat with underboiled potatoes. Oh and "Blod-pudding" (blood-pudding, so something like black pudding I think). And yes meatballs from time to time. (Look it been years, I don't eat these things anymore). Oh and on Thursdays Swedish tradition is green-pea soup (often with pork) and pancakes. Dinners was a lof of the above but better quality. Still ketchup on all types of Pasta, sorry. We did have full meals, and full family unit (including all the fights). My favorites was when we did cozy evenings and had tea and sandwiches. Nowaday cosy fridays is apperently "Taco" days (this started in my teens somewhere), and while we have full shelf length named "taco" it is not really close to real tacos, though there was taco shells and tortillas etc.

[@Kayser.A.]

My most favorite meal as a child was Bratstulle. Fried Grey Bread in Butter with a sunny side up egg on top. And what i also really loved was the "Hasenbrot" when dad comes home from work.

[@sapphirecamui6447]

Hi from Romania. we ate almost all those German foods, including that type of sandwich, with just a slice of bread, butter, and then cheese, or ham or something, or jam. LOL. i still eat them. but with no ham because i don't really eat meat anymore. and i always put the salty cheese on top of the jam. (best with berry jams).

I grew up also with cereals as breakfast, but I ate them sometimes with apple juice(yes, I was a weird kid) and at weekends we ate bread with cheese and jam. At lunch we had Maultaschen mit Kartoffelsalat(noodles filled with meat and vegetables and potatosalat), Fleischküchle(Meatballs), Noodles with Pesto, Pfannkuchen(Pancakes) or gebackener Cambembert(baked cheese). At dinner we had the rests of lunch or bread. If we had pancakes, dinner was a Flädlessuppe, for this we cut the pancakes and put them in soup. I love it so much. Also a snack from my childhood is potato with butter and salt. When my grandma made Potatosalat she take one potato and gave it to me with buter and salt.

[@chrisaman7401]

I'm American, of German decent. My mother sometimes made "leberknödel" or liver dumplings. They were great! Recipe: 1 lb. calf liver, 1 cup bread crumbs, or 4 stale slices of bread, 1 very large diced onion, 1 teaspoon pepper (yes 1 teaspoon), 1 teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon flour. Grind up the liver, and bread crumbs, and mix with salt, pepper, and flour. In a large pan, boil up some beef broth, and drop the liver mixture into the broth. Cover, and simmer 20 minutes. And absolutely don't take the cover off to look (topfdeckelentferner), or the dumplings will get tough. ˈWunderbar!

[@markuswalsh3122]

I think Schwartenwurst is what we used to call "Zwiebelfleisch" ... lots of onions, tomatoes, spices + of course artificial mash + veg. As far as I recall these were war emergency rations that were sold off to the public/supermarkets just before their 20-year expiration dates. Is that right? My absolute favorite growing up in the 60s in West Berlin. Can't get it in the US or in Tanzania, but I have fond memories. The other favorite was Kartoffeln & Quark of course ("Quark" not the particle, but the yogurt derivative).

I'm of German heritage (Steigerwald) but I'm a 3rd generation American. Breakfast growing up was cold cereal, or HOT oatmeal (Cream of Rice, or Malt O Meal). My mom was divorced so I was in my own for breakfast. Lunch was eatten at the school cafeteria. The food was good. They made it from scratch and they baked bread. On the weekends we usually had cold cuts like bologna or salame with American cheese or munster. Grilled cheese with a slice of tomato on it or grilled cheese and tomato soup. Dinners were eaten at the kitchen table. The table was set with fork, knife, spoon and NAPKIN! This was in an era where table manners were laid out. No elbows on the table, don't talk with food in your mouth, and don't chew with an open mouth. It drives me CRAZY to watch people eat. Uggg Dinner. My mom would use her pressure cooker and make pig knuckles and sauerkraut. Navy beans with pork. Chicken fried or baked. Fish sticks. Hamburgers. Or I'd walk to the shop at the end of our block and get CHICAGO hot dogs (Chicago born and raised). Mom, gramma and my Grossmutter were good cooks. Now for meat loaf. I'm in my 60's so IM the cook now. Just last week I had a package of ground pork, so I made stuffed green peppers and mashed potato, real not boxed. The next day I made a meat loaf with the remainder of the ground pork. It had onion, bell pepper, an egg as a binder, panko bread crums, garlic, cumin and Panera Italian dressing. On top put ketchup and over that a good amount of brown sugar! OMG! the brown sugar melts into the meat and makes a crust on the outside. Shhh just don't tell anyone my secret. Mom made spaghetti and meat balls and lasagna, but mine is better, lol. I put Italian sausage in mine.

I also did not have dessert regularly either. Sometimes were were allowed ice cream or my mom would bake a banana bread. We never gained excess weight as children except when we'd visit our grandparents in Germany for 4 weeks and had a ton of baked goods! I feel like there is a bakery every couple of blocks in Germany to support fresh morning brotchen and afternoon kafee und kuchen. I have not visited since 2009. I miss it!

When I was a child (over 40 years ago) I hate some meals, like the soup with green beans (Schnippelbohnensuppe). Now I like to cook those meals for my own, because I think, my taste have changed and it remembers me to good old days. And meatballs (Frikadellen) also named "Bremsklötze". I don't know, why the meal "Falscher Hase" was named like that, but I also remember, that there was a meal called "Bunt Huhn". And it was a vegitable soup with white beans and without chicken inside, but pears.

Fleischkäse in a bun was a common meal. We also only had fish fingers with fries, and seidenwürstchen with the mashed potatoes. Bauernfrühstück was also a big thing, it was mostly left over pasta with eggs and some kind of sausage. Oh we call and the "meat balls" Fleischküchle.

I live in eastfrisia (Ostfriesland) so I live also in lower saxony but way more north west and I grew up with most of what you told. But let me add "schnippelbohnen" (cut beans) which is green beans, cut into small pieces, a shitload of salt and potatoes, mashed together and cooked with a big piece of kasseler and mettenden (a kind of sausage) and I loved it xD We also ate red cabbage often on Sundays as a fancy Sunday food. Also there was Steckrüben (I don't know the English term) and Grünkohl (green cabbage I guess?) And stuff like that xD

[@rickyn1135]

I was a fat kid. My step mum would send me to school with a dill pickle,hard boiled egg,& an apple! No one want to switch luches with me.

Falscher Hase reminded me of my childhood, my mother is Hungarian, and she often cooked something similar, but it had a completely different name.

Hello @Deana and Phil ! I am from Greece. Greeks love their food ! They eat lots 😂😅😂😅 In my household though since my mother grew up in Austtalia it was different. Breakfast was usually cereal and milk or toast with butter and jam and sometimes eggs. Lunch was the main meal of the day because every body was home. Some regular foods where roast oven chicken with potatoes, pasta bolognese, meatballs (keftedakia in Greek) and legume soups (lentils or bean soup ). Also on Sundays was oven roast either lamb or goat meat or pork chops. Summer time was very different because there were lots of fresh vegetables around so a lot of veggie based dishes like ,gemista (stuffed veggies with rice and herbs),Briam,Mousaka and other. Dinner in our household was something small or left overs from lunch. We often had Greek type pancakes (tiganites) with honey and a cup of tea on a Sunday evening watching a movie and one of our desserts was rizogalo (rice pudding).

I was growing up in Nordrhein Westfalen and Sachsen. My favorites as a kid are: Birnen Bohnen und Speck, Mettbrötchen, Möhrengemüse mit Frikadellen. The Kitchen in Saxony took some getting use to me.

[@kathyjohnson5097]

And ketchup does not go with everything, especially not rice! Ewww!

[@a2suzystein]

I have a friend who lives in a small village in Thüringen. He has Brötchen with butter and Nutella for breakfast (or cereal), and usually a sandwich for lunch. Then they always have Kaffee und Kuchen at 17:00. His mom makes a cake at least a few times a week. Then they have a larger dinner just a couple of hours later at 19:30. They grill Bratwurst frequently at their house--probably once a week. She also makes potato salad. They eat many traditional German foods like Schnitzel mit Pommes, Rotkohl, Backfisch, Krautrouladen, Klöße, Blumenkohl, etc. They eat potatoes almost every night. They also pick up pizza or Döner very frequently.

[@Rocky712_]

I never heard of "Falscher Hase", but we sometimes had "Strammer Max". A piece of grey bread with butter, ham and fried egg. So a very fancy Abendbrot meal. :D I had a lot of cereal as a child. For the lunch, the Spaghetti, (never lasangna). On sundays we had more well made stuff like Rouladen with Knödel, Kartoffelpüree and Gulasch for celebrations.

[@sophie-charlottekau9959]

We eat cream rice very often for Lunch. And Brez'n (proper Bavarian pretzels) with butter. And meatballs are called "Fleischpflanzer'l" in upper Bavaria. Sauerkraut is something you eat very often in South Germany in generall. Have you guys ever had "schupfnudeln"? Its a potato dough rolled oit in more or less thin stripes and then baked in a pan.. You might get it in a supermarket and you should probaly eat it with sauerkraut

[@silkedavid8876]

We always had German toast or Graubrot for breakfast, and in my family we like sweet stuff on it, like jam, honey or for some time we had a chocolate spread which came in a tube. Oh, do you know about the North South divide in regards to dressings for potato salad or cucumber salad? My mother grew up in Dortmund, and she likes a vinegar dressing, but my father grew up in Hamburg and he likes a yoghurt dressing. Question for you, do you use plates for breakfast and dinner oder Brettchen? I prefer Bretter, and I now use some that my grandmother had! Indestructible!

[@cyberfux]

Vinegar? Yoghurt? Ewww.... Only mayonaise belongs on a potatoe salad (i grew up next to Dortmund).

[@hannahlehmann4165]

The only right answer is vinegar dressing on potato salad...

Yes, I made meat loaf for my family, and had it growing up. Ours was made of chopped beef, or some people used a mix of beef and pork. My son as a child loved it, and he called it Meatlove. He doesn’t care for it anymore, but I still love a good meat loaf.

[@kavlomenon]

I grew up in Lüneburg in the 1970's and we always called them Frikadellen.

[@Koko-lr5bc]

Yep! And my mom made them hamburger shape as do for my family today and I call them "frickies" lol

[@timbuckman3870]

I love meatloaf. I grew up in the 60's and in a family of 5, so we had meatloaf on a regular basis. It is a great way to stretch some gound meat, usually beef and pork with either bread crumbs or oatmeal along with eggs to bind it. And a little spice. Then meatloaf sandwiches for lunch at school for several days. I still make it on my smoker with some added spices and it is awesome!!!

[@haroldking7027]

Was the potato salad warm or cold? Try this, half mayonnaise half sour cream. 1 package of ranch dressing dry mix. Boiled potatos, 1 inch squares, hard boiled eggs chopped. Chopped celery and chopped radishes.mix together well and chill for 4 or 5 hours, longer allows the flavors to incorporate better. Eat it cold with any type of picnic food.
