7:46 Is Cheescake common in Germany? *DUDE* are you realy a german?? *Cheescake comes FROM France* and german immigrants brought it over to the US. wtf...

[@aw3s0me12]

However, the first recipe written down in this country is in the cookbook by the poet Anna Wecker, published in 1598. And with the ingredients quark, eggs, butter, sugar and cinnamon, their version was already pretty close to the classic that is popular today. *"The US" was at that time, not even founded,...* 1776 vs *1598* ...not even compareable

[@aw3s0me12]

*Was ist der beliebteste Kuchen in Deutschland?* _What is the most popular cake in Germany?_ *Käsekuchen - Cheescake* Eine Tradition, die in Deutschland ihren Ursprung hat.

[@ithinkabout4369]

You should go to Hesse next, do a Frankfurt food tour (don't think you have done that thus far, the only one of the top 5 German cities). There are some unique dishes in Hesse, Grüne Soße, Rippchen mit Kraut, Handkäs mit Musik, Frankfurter Schnitzel, Frankfurter Kranz; not to forget about the Äpplewoi

[@devind132]

​@aw3s0me12 I think you misunderstood. It said he is from Germany, not cheesecake.

[@katherinepacey4163]

German Bread is the best! Can't wait to return in September and get some delicious brot, wurst, doner and all the other great food Germany has ❤

[@emjaymiller]

Just watched this for the second time and wanted to say maultaschen in Stuttgart is so amazingly good!!! While it superficially resembles giant ravioli, there is otherwise no comparison. Maultaschen has a nice herbal blend inside, the pasta is much nicer and I agree with Phil that the toasted onions add a nice touch. So far, it's one of my favorite dishes in Germany.

[@thomasbaur8332]

you should have looked at the market hall. An absolute highlight in Stuttgart with many specialities !

[@danfry1669]

I spent 8 years in the Stuttgart area. I loved the people and food, as well as the beer.

[@JakobFischer60]

Linsen and Spätzle is an absolute favourite in Swabia. When it was on the menu of our companies cantine, they sold more than double of meals than normal and 90 percent were Linsen and Spätzle. Some people only went to the cantine the day it was on the card.

[@frauleintrude6347]

This was a Swiss style Sausage Salad. In our family we use Lyoner and not Mortadella, Blood sausage (optional) and no cheese and no Paprika powder.

[@rexnarloonbrok8858]

I got all emotional when you showed the Maultaschen 🤤😥. I was stationed in Stuttgart-Vaihingen for over 5 years in the 80s and ate my way around the marktplatz. Wednesday, I placed a large order of German food from an online store. I didn't get Maultaschen, but will have to try to make it. Simple, but good. Just like the Leberknodel suppe... So simple... So good.

[@jamesschock4296]

My grandparents we're both from Baden-Württemberg (Schwabenland). They we're from small hamlets about 25 kilometers outside Stuttgart. They served these dishes in America. Maultaschen was invented to cheat while fasting during lent it concealed the meat inside the noodles from the priest. They are also served in a vegetable broth like soup, delicious. Wurstsalat was always served on a flat plate with plenty of vinegar besides mortadella it is served with summer sausage or even braunschweiger slices. Spaetzle is a common side dish especially with main courses with some aujus or gravey delicious 😋. Potato salad(Kartoffelsalad) typically served with sausages of all types always vinegar and oil based. Another favorite dessert besides cheesecake is plum kuchen in season. Roast Duck and Goose are also very popular with parsley sausage dressing 😋. Thank you for all your videos. I've really enjoyed them.

[@djmike2115]

Das Beste im Schwabenländle ist Zwiebelrostbraten (medium) mit Käsespätzle und Rotweinsoße. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm yummy. The best thing in Swabia is roast onions (medium) with cheese spaetzle and red wine sauce. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm yummy.

[@metalexile]

Bread in the U.S. absolutely sucks unless you go to a specialty bakery, and those are often really hard to find. Simply finding good bread here can be a real challenge. It exists, but you have to search for it and most of the rest of it is trash.

[@yourgirlkimmy]

I dont know if this is the same in Germany but in Holland and Belgium, we use the word salad as a mix of things, that goes on bread. The biggest example that most people would understand is like egg salad or tuna salad sandwich. We also have "vleessalade" which is like a cubed ham pieces spreadable salad on bread. So yeah a mixed spread for bread is often called "something salad", if that makes sense.

[@Adlerauge333]

Im schwäbischen Wurstsalat ist noch Schwarzwurst drinnen. Das war ein Wurstsalat nach schweizer Art. Maultaschen werden im Schwabenland gerne auch Herrgottsbscheiserle genannt... :)

[@wolfgangscorset2855]

Stimmt Teils Teils. Aber beim Schweizer Wurstsalat fehlte der Chaaas.

[@martinkasper197]

Außerdem ist im Schwabischen Wurstsalat meist Lyoner drin und nicht Mortadella! Im bayrischen meist Regensburger....

[@S_Black]

"Salad" in the wider sense means a mix of things. It's not restricted to greenery.

[@ChrisTian-rm7zm]

I was wondering if Americans don't have noodle salads, for example.

[@S_Black]

@@ChrisTian-rm7zm I don't know why they constantly make such a fuss about this. It's not the first time. It's like picking one narrow interpretation of a word only to make a joke about it. Salad can mean a lot of things in English too. Dishes like potato salad, pasta salad, and fruit salad exist are common there too. And America has all kinds of specific salads that contain meat or sea food for example. There are also terms specifically for lettuce-based ones like green salad or garden salad.

[@ChrisTian-rm7zm]

@@S_Black Thank you very much for this clarification! 🙂

[@biancavoorman2328]

Germany and the Netherlands have the best bread in my opinion. Better than the USA.

[@Miristzuheiss]

As a German i love Tigerbread and Brotjes and Rosinbrodje

[@jeffhampton2767]

USA does not have good bread unless you go to an old-world bread shop that makes Italian bread or French bread. Otherwise the bread and our food stores is just very average

[@tigeriussvarne177]

I'd like to also throw in danish bread, as well as german and dutch, they make some great breadrolls too

Love Swabian food!! You hit on a few of my favorites but choices in that area are endless! Stuttgart is my home away from home when I visit Germany and the villages outside of the city are all very nice to visit as well. Biers and wines from the region are some of if not the best in the world...enjoyed this video now I am hungry for some Swabish food!!

[@doctahcerveza]

the local beer here is far away from the best in the world. Ever heard of Belgium, Frankonia or czech Republic?

[@tertiusimpostor]

@@doctahcerveza You should also mention Polish beer☺

[@doctahcerveza]

@@tertiusimpostor nah, they have good beers in the craftsection like any country in the world but the industrial beer tastes there like water like in most other countries in the world.

[@devind132]

That dumpling-like dish looks really good! Cheesecake with fruit is a classic.

[@metal-adventures-joerg]

11:20 Linsen,Spätzle und Saitenwürstle (aka Wiener) are (together with Maultaschen) swabian national food Treasures!!! A real Swabian can eat it anytime!!! ^^

[@valeriejurkiewicz297]

Was stationed in Stuttgart. Loved Schloss Solitude. Used to take our chow chow there for long walks. Food was amazing

[@rexnarloonbrok8858]

And the straight road in line with the breezeway of the Schloss. I'm not sure how far to the... north? it extended.

[@ReyOfLight]

I’m watching this at almost 1am, basically ready to sleep… Now I need to go make a couple of Nutella sandwiches (and brush my teeth again) because damn, looks like that part of Germany has some really nice cuisine! I’m Swedish and I’ll have to say that bread in Sweden is generally very good. My usual everyday bread is Pågenlimpa which is a pretty moist, light brown, soft sandwich bread that stays good for a long time without having too much nasty stuff in it, so it’s perfect for me as I can keep the loaf in its bag on the counter and it won’t go stale or mold for quite a while. If I want to be more fancy, the store baked breads in Ica Maxi in the neighbor town is just amazing! Or even just going directly to one of the two local bakeries in my town to pick up some bread, it’s just so good! But my favorite bakery is the one at Ica Maxi because that bread is something I can actually crave at times and drive over 20km each way for 😂

[@dazedpatrick81]

You finally made it to Stuttgart! My favorite part of the city is all the vineyards that surround you in the hills above, also the view from the TV tower.

[@Flamebeard0815]

Nice to see you visiting my town and glad you liked the food! If you visit again, things to try might be: * Cake at the Kuchenliebe (2 stores in the city area) - Great cakes, portion-size * As a typical Stuttgart dish: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaisburger_Marsch * A Currywurst at the Brunnenwirt next to the redlight district, a staple for hungover people after a long night of bar crawls

[@yannicsturm6048]

Definitely right about vinegar based potato and cucumber salads in the south. And maultaschen are also available with cooked down vegetables, often leeks or cabbage

[@genacostello5896]

It all looks amazing! Drooling!

[@armlovesmetal1036]

German cheesecake is the best because it is so light as the New York version is more dense and heavier. My mom made baked cheesecake all the time and it was so good.

[@arnoldkegebein2147]

I agree with you about the ashtrays on every table. But you can always ask the waitress to take it away to enjoy your cake without smelling the ash.

[@user-xr3vf7ku5x]

Hohen Zollern is way underrated. It’s one of my favorites. Also, you tried 2 dishes I make several times a year…lentils and maultashen. If you didn’t try it, you need to try Obst Kuchen in that area, it is amazing. It has a cake-y bottom buttercream next then seasonal fruit topped with gelatin. Also Reutlingen has a walled city center that is amazing. And nearby in Metzingen is the outlet capital of Europe. I love Baden-Württemberg ❤

[@susankingcs]

German bread was my favorite until I moved to Portugal! I do however miss a good rye bread but overall the Portuguese know how to make bread!

[@jerrycook8948]

I lived in Stuttgart for three years and loved everything about it. There are many beautiful sights around town. And I love you two crazy kids and all your wonderful videos! Really loved your recent US videos, many cities I’m very familiar with from living in Charleston, Hilton Head, Savannah and NC. ❤

[@stefanfrank4388]

It's very nice that you have visited my home town. The food you have choosen is very good, Wurstsalat, Linsen with Spätzle and Maultaschen with potato salad are on my favorite list too.

[@johnbowyer6902]

There is alot of disruption in downtown Stuttgart at this time with the construction of the new railway station built underground. It would be interesting to see what it would be like in 2 or 3 years from now when, hopefully, construction is finished. Nice food vlog though.😊

[@aw3s0me12]

12:46 *Maultaschen* but in Swabian called *„Herrgottsbscheißerle“* *Potatoe-Salad* was *invented here in Germany,..* as well ;)

[@aw3s0me12]

In southern Germany and Austria to Croatia, the sliced ​​potatoes are usually *mixed with a broth made from meat broth, vinegar, oil, salt, pepper and mustard.* The salad *can* also *contain chopped onions, fried bacon cubes, garlic or cucumber pieces.* *The marinade* is often *poured over* the *still hot potatoes.* The *salad prepared in this way can be eaten warm (“warm potato salad”) or cold.* In parts of Styria and Burgenland, the potato salad is served with pumpkin seed oil. *Chives are obligatory in Franconia.* Northern Germany, Mayo switches the meat broth and vinegar/oil marinade. Since Mayo is 99% oil with a bit citrus-acid a egg yok to add yellow colore instead grey-white and bit salt and pepper. The lazy way imo and the most *ungerman* version, since it uses a *french* origin content primary dominating the product,..which is Mayo it self.

[@Pewtah]

When in Baden-Württemberg, also try Bubespitzle (aka Schupfnudeln) auf Sauerkraut! Best served with a cooled beer or a glass of white wine from the region.

[@meinname777]

So even as a Berliner, I know that no mortadella is used in the Swabian sausage salad. It's either "Lyoner" or "Gelbwurst".

[@lauraautry6992]

Love watching your journeys 🤗🤗

[@seanbean002]

You need to come back to Stuttgart during 'Besen' season, late fall thru winter, then again in early spring. It is the best for traditional food since Stuttgart has become very trendy/international, which is nice but when you want Oma's cooking ❤ and Stuttgart is just forever under construction... walked down Königstraße the other day and there was all of a sudden just a giant hole in the middle of the city...when it happened, I have no idea. And the Hauptbahnhof.... only second to the Berlin airport.

[@JakobFischer60]

When there is cheese in it, it is a swiss wurst salade. Even in Swabia. Swabian wurst salade normally contains also blood sausage.

[@danielwerner1980]

👍

[@bernardmayles6564]

Growing up in Bavaria, my mother made wurstsalad with cut up bologna and mayo. And Germany has way better bread then US

[@imrehundertwasser7094]

10:37 "I don't think I've ever seen them with the lentil combinations": Did you live under a rock when you were working in Stuttgart? "Linsen und Spätzle" (lentils and spätzle) is THE Swabian national dish.

[@amandal1508]

One of our favorite towns, as a family, to visit was Rothenburg ob der Tauber. It’s actually not too far from Stuttgart. Although, we lived in Germany in the late 90s to early 00s, so it’s been awhile since I’ve seen anything

[@thebexxs8371]

Aus Maultaschen kann man so viel machen. In Streifen geschnitten und mit Zwiebeln und Ei angebraten schmecken sie mir am besten. 😍 You can make so many things with Maultaschen. Cut into strips and fried with onions and egg, I like them best. 😍

[@FlaneurSolitaire]

Stuttgart has very nice areas, but the absolute city center around the main station is not among them, it is a rather charmless, standard pedestrian area, I think there was quite a lot of war damage in that part of the city. But the city has some gorgeous parks and great museums (the "Staatsgalerie" is one of Germany's top galleries of modern art and also has a really spectacular building), the zoo is definitely worthwhile if you like zoos, and the "Stäffele", the hundreds of small stairs leading up from the center to the areas higher up the hill slopes are very charming.

[@abushfield71]

My favorites from my time in Bavaria are fried bratwurst mitt brotchen and spicy mustard, Schnitzel sandwich mitt kasse, Jagerschnitzel mitt pommes and of course Currywurst mitt pommes but have them sprinkle the curry powder on the pommes too.

[@martinkasper197]

I can't get it why Deanna wasn't ordering Käsespätzle - which is something like her beloved Mac and Cheese... Also Zwiebelrostbraten with Spätzle ❤️ was missing. also Suppen-Maultaschen, not only the Gschmälzte Version.... Zwiebelkuchen, Zwetschgenkuchen,....I ❤️ my Schwäbischen Käsekuchen,.. And to speak about Maultaschen as Ravioli style, it's a no go in Swabia. Totally different ingrediences...Then you could also call them Swabian spring rolls.😂😂😂

[@thomasoliver354]

My aunt made apple sauce and spatzel that were breaded. She said this was a common war time dish. Was wonderbar. I still make it today.

[@allenlancellas7431]

Please go to Regensburg!! Wurst kuche on the Donau used to be the best ever! Also best rolls(kipvel) and perfect vinegar based potato salad available anywhere in town and is the best in the world!

[@sebastianb7931]

I live in Stuttgart and u only show the typical parts of it! Stuttgart have so many hidden places, the most people dont expect. U can walk from the New Castle (Schlossplatz) trough natur/ gardens 2 the smallest castle (Bärenschlössle). If u more interestet in Trains u can drive with the wooden cable car from the south middle on the top of Stuttgart. If u love Wine, u can walk trough a lot of wineyards or taste it at a Wine Bar. If u like exotic thinks, i think the Japanes Garden u never expect in Stuttgart (one of the most Hidden places in Stuttgart). I met a lot people from the US (after Ramstein the biggest Army Base in Europe) and from a lot other Countries, if u dont give up and talk 2 unkown people, they are very nice! I like your Videos, but u dont taste the Schwäbische Küche for a lot(Zwiebelrostbraten,...). Only the Maultaschen (originaly calls Herrgotts Bescheiserle, because monks cheated during lent) a complete Video, because u can eat it in many variances! But in Stuttgart u can even eat realy great Vegan Meals and anything else u want.

Very pretty areas of Germany not the nicest that I have seen in your videos but still Charming. The food looked delicious, especially the bread in the beginning and then the dumplings with the delicious-looking gravy. I can tell by just looking at your videos that I would love 95% of German food. I am American but my roots are from Europe. My ancestors for thousands of years lived in Germany, Poland, Ukraine, Ireland, England. I just know for a fact that if I went to Germany or many places in Europe I would be absolutely in love with the food I think it's in my DNA. I'm interested in seeing a lot of German food especially full meals with gravy's. I'm also interested in Austrian food and Polish food. Not interested in the most northern places of Europe like Norway. I'm not interested so much in southern Europe except for Italy. 👍🏻👍🏻

Exactly my thoughts when i watched the video 😅 I was so confused over every single statement to every dish they tried 🤔 Bread is not good in Germany, the Wurstsalat expectations and the fact it was a Schweitzer Wurstsalat and not a Schwäbischer... cheesecake is not very common in Germany, Maultaschen are like big Ravioli and so on.... me like, wth is he talking about, sure he is real a german? 😂

[@Pegalita]

I was born in Bavaria to a German mother and American G.I. father. My dad used to tease my mother saying she was a Schwab. She was highly insulted but I didn’t know why. At some point she said it was like being called a hick or a hillbilly. Funny that she lives in the Ozarks now in the middle of hillbillies and hicks. 😀

[@kathrinschmidt-ks-wohndesi584]

To be called a Schwab is offensive to most of us baden-württemberg citizens since swabia is only a smaller Area around the north east of the state. The meaning of being called a Schwab(e) is to be greedy or stringy and always trying to get everything as costeffective aka cheap as possible. That´s why people can be insulted with that.

[@Pegalita]

@@kathrinschmidt-ks-wohndesi584 thank you for that explanation. I had no idea.

[@Never_again_against_anyone]

On top the regional patriotism being rather historic also has parts of its roots in religion. Swabia was predominantly protestant, Badenia predominantly catholic (I am just summarizing, this is not perfectly precise.).

[@Pegalita]

@@Never_again_against_anyone I didn’t realize that. Interesting. Mom was Catholic.

[@Never_again_against_anyone]

@@Pegalita It dates back into predemocratic times. As a Latin saying goes "Huius regio eius religio." (Closest weird sounding literal translation is Whose region whoms religion.). People had the confession of whoever ruled in their region. Sure that is the past with people being more mobile now things slowly mix up (But in many villages there is still only one church, people have been more tolerant for decades, but you can tell if you are in a catholic or protestant place.), but I guess it played its part in that local patriotism developing that for many is stronger than their rather weak patriotic feelings for Germany as a whole.

Stuttgart is a post-modern city, because it was damaged nearly completetly at the end of the war. The cities around like Esslingen had kept the medieval centers, dating down to the 12th century. More beautiful and way more relaxed.

[@DaDooM88]

Phil said "American Bread is on average better than German Bread". I cant judge it because I havent been to the US yet - BUT: in every European country I have been so far, there are 3 places where you can buy bread: 1) Supermarket 2) Bakery chain 3) Individually owned bakery (e.g. single, family-owned store) And from top to bottom, from my experience, the amount of chemicals and preservatives is highest at (1) and decreases towards (3). Everybody has its own taste, but I just appreciate traditional baker-craftsmenship with sourdough and enough time for the dough to rest. Also, imho, this can (not necessarily) produce the best results and even outclass any synthetic additive. Then again, nowadays probably 95%+ of bakeries belong to category (1) and (2) - I simply dont care about them :D

I live near Stuttgart, I studied in Stuttgart and I really love Stuttgart. However, you are absolutely right: Stuttgart is NOT the most beautiful of German cities! Stuttgart was probably nicer before the war ... however, the way buildings were torn down and new stuff erected in the last 60 years didn't exactly make the city more beautiful. On the really swabian dishes: Maultaschen (sometimes called "Herrgottsb'scheißerle" = little God-cheaters) were originally containing way more spinach than any you get these days. The point was to eat meat in fasting times and hide it from god - in the dough-wrapping and in the green spinach. About the lentil stuff: the brown optics are really bad. But I love the taste. Many swabians add quite a bit of vinegar - but you don't have to. BTW: I prefer them with Saitenwürstchen (Wieners).

I spent 6 days traveling Nürnberg, Augsburg, Köln and Düsseldorf last week. Lots of good food in Germany. I did not get any Hachse or Knödel. I am sorry for that. I ate this year's ration of Schnitzel. I had Zanderfilet twice. Soooo good. I had different sausages. But I also ate Italian, TexMex and Cæsar Salad. I think what really stands out in Germany are the bakeries. They are everywhere. Mainstream. Craft. Ecological. Train stations. City center. Neighborhood. Cheap or expensive. I ate a lot of bread. As for your home town of Düsseldorf, my plan was to try Cuban at Palito, but that was full, so we had Spaghetti Vongole at L'osteria Vetro. I liked it. It tasted as I remember from Napoli.

Defenetly not the most beautiful city in Baden-Württemberg, but you definitely showed the best swabian food!

Die Innenstadt nicht, aber alles drumherum ist schön. Die Weinberge, alles am Neckar entlang... Stuttgart hat eigentlich einiges zu bieten.
