Discover Austin: Wurstfest - Episode 29

[@TempleOfKnife]

It popped into my head this year and I'm so excited! I haven't been in a decade so it will be exciting to go as an adult who can fully enjoy the festival.

[@PeachJars]

Enjoy your videos! thank you for detailing these things

[@DiscoverAustin]

Thank you. I'm glad you enjoy them!

Like St. Patrick's Day for the lrish, a similar reaction from the lrish and Germans have to Wurstfest. Still, fun. BTW, Austin is 50 miles north of New Braunfels.

as a german, this is the most bizarre and entertaining shit since the invention of the knödels...

[@DiscoverAustin]

As a German, the use of Scheiße would have been more appropriate.

[@morbionicle]

@@DiscoverAustin nah - the connotation of the german use of scheisse is less neutral than the rather colloquial/informal use of the anglo-saxon "shit". my remark was in no way meant as an expression of opposition or a general dislike. it is simply weird seeing people "celebrate" what is/they deem to be german culture and their folksy interpretation of it. i mean we do not celebrate our culture at all - but this version is the disneyfied version dialed up to 11. more entertaining than anything really...

3:14 The accordion player uses a MIDI accordeon and so he sounds like a 3 man band.

[@DiscoverAustin]

You have far more knowledge of accordions than I do!

[@crackwitz]

let me try to fix that up... Grüße, ich bin Craig Smyser (Gregor Schmeißer?) Ich bin hier ungefähr eine Stunde südlich von Austin entfernt, in der Stadt Neu Braunfels, zum Wurstfest, in dieser Ausflugsepisode von "Austin entdecken"

[@DiscoverAustin]

Appreciate it. Hopefully Frau Merritt, my high school German teacher, never comes across this video.

Potato pancake? Those are Kartoffelpuffer!

Wurstfest - so the sausage isn't soft...

[@jensfritsch5741]

You translate that from Google? It wasn't the best. But give you 👍 for trying

[@DiscoverAustin]

Yes, Frau Merritt, my high school German teacher, would not have been too pleased! Actually, it wasn't Google because even I could tell that wasn't right, but I don't remember which site I eventually used.

[@tonyowens6802]

Too bad that building burned down...

[@DiscoverAustin]

Exactly. But we'll get a chance to see the new one in November.

[@robfriedrich2822]

You have to practice the Umlaut. You said "I am in danger 1 hour..."

[@DiscoverAustin]

Yes, my German has not aged well since I took it in high school.

[@robfriedrich2822]

@@DiscoverAustin Umlaut can turn the meaning. You know "Geachtet" and "Geächtet", 2 little dots turns the word in the contrary.

Doesn´t look authentic, at all. But I´m sure its fun. Ois Preißn
