German Husband Visits a BEER GARDEN in the USA...

[@simonab.242]

Weisswurst with Ketchup and normal mustard 😮 dont ask for that in Bavaria! you can only eat it with sweet mustard

[@athommen1]

Yup! So true but it’s not easy to find sweet mustard in every country. And by sweet mustard I’m not talking about the chemical yellow mustard you find in the US 😊

[@raffaelpichler5864]

when i realised it should be a weißwurst i got a little sick for a moment.... weißwurst with ketchup on top of it seems like a crime to me 😂😂😂 i am austrian, living like 5 mins away from the bavarian border so i grew up with a lot of bavarian culture😅😅

[@chriskulesza1614]

I miss Germany! I only went for a week this past February but I fell in love with the country and especially Garmisch-Partenkirchen where I stayed and skied! es tut mir leid was never used. Thankful for the German people for being so nice and welcoming! I have some wurst from Aldi here in the US. Also have some Curry Ketchup and sweet Bayern mustard. I love watching your videos!

[@jackiejenkins4078]

That looked like a very nice place, but again, you would have a blast in Milwaukee Wisconsin and the surrounding area! Beer garden season just started here. There are well established beer gardens as well as traveling beer gardens.

Lol, ihr liebenswerten norddeutsche Banausen! 😂 Weißwürste werden immer geschält, bevor man sie isst. Und dazu gibt es süßen Weißwurstsenf und Brezen und sonst nix. 😊 Kein Kraut und auch keinen Kartoffelsalat. Und schon gar kein Ketchup.

Können wir uns darauf einigen, dass es mehrere gute Kartoffelsalat-Varianten gibt? Man muss keine davon hassen.

[@Nils.Minimalist]

Stimmt, hassen ist schon ein starkes Wort. Warum nicht einfach "nicht mögen"? Außerdem denke ich mal, dass 40% der Deutschen den Kartoffelsalat mit Mayo oder Remoulade bevorzugen und nur 22% mit Essig und Öl, spricht schon für sich.

Hallo, Guten Tag. I have my great grandma Gardner's hand written German cookbook, some of it is written in German. My husband's family is German also. I cook a lot of German foods for my family. My family prefers spicy stone ground mustard and/or vinegar based potato salads. My husband's German sir name is Erchenbrecht.

[@M-hc9xm]

Love those old recipes, which can be more like vague instructions. I have a Swabish cookbook from the 1930s. It's great because it's all basic ingredients, but no pan sizes, no temp to bake at. I guess you're just supposed to know!

Sauerkraut balls are originally from Akron Ohio. I've never have seen them with cheese. When I make them they have sauerkraut, bread crumbs, eggs and finely diced ham. Then you roll them in egg and more bread crumbs. Firm them up in the freezer and deep fry them

However you make 'em - they remain not German.

[@rickgarms7656]

German and Irish descendants in the U.S. are generally the top 2 European populations by number. So, it would not be a stretch to say that the is a German community in every State. Wisconsin, North & South Dakota list over 35% of the general population with German Ancestry. The Texas Hill Country has some of the earliest Southern U.S. German settlements and still possesses a very vibrant Deutsche-centric feel. (ie: Fredericksburg, Boerne, etc.) That's probably the reason for so much stellar B-B-Q. I love me some real German vinegar based potato salad as well Phil. My Great Grandfather immigrated to the US in 1893 to the Great Lakes region and then slowly migrated to Texas for the abundant farmland. I really enjoy youze guy's vlogs. Always entertaining. Prost Ya'll.

Kartoffeln in my homemade Potato Salad are never mashed. My Great Great Grandfather migrated from Germany about a hundred years ago bringing my Great Grandmother over to America with him. My Grandmothers made warm Kartoffeln Salad that tasted like had apple cider vinegar and parsley in it many times during week at various mealtimes, it was okay, but I prefer good ol American Potato Salad.

[@Stack-hr5xn]

Wow I wasn’t expecting to live 30 minutes away from this place lol

[@mollyjones4165]

It is so strange you cannot find potato salad! Where I am there always seems to be some and usually more than one type. I am very surprised they did not have any in the German Village because there is always so much of it everywhere 🤣 So what were they thinking to make mashed potatoes instead?

[@andlem]

Okay, they are still working on the Weißwurst culture. Mustard and ketchup (What the ...?!) make no sense on a Weißwurst, as the sausage is eaten without the skin. Fried Sauerkraut balls - that's a great idea! I'll try that to cook it next time.

The reason why we have so much food on sticks in the US is because at fairs and places like that, people want to eat and run and they want you move and keep shopping at the stalls and gift shops.

[@xn7270]

What I love about these videos is that it shows people how you really need to be in actual Germany and experience the whole culture in order to understand how Americans have just mimic German cuisine without the authenticity you get

[@bamachine]

That looked far better than the place you went to in Helen, GA. I tend to be pretty wary of places that claim to be the "whatever" capital of the country, often too much emphasis on tourist rather than authenticity. The best German/Bavarian food I have found have been in places with a large German/Bavarian immigrant community. Places like Dallas/Ft Worth or Houston, TX and Huntsville, AL. I am 100% in agreement, vinegar or mustard based potato salad over mayo based. I really don't like mayo based. Also, I disagree about liking sauerkraut but I do prefer naturally fermented over vinegar based. I have Bavarian blood running through my veins but my ancestors moved to the US from Bavaria in the late 1860's.
