German Raclette Party - German New Years Eve Food Traditions

[@vincentengland7927]

I went to a German friends for dinner tonight (New Years Eve) and we had Raclette for dinner. It was a completely new experience for me being English. It was wonderful, and then I came across your channel that explained it succinctly. A perfect end to a perfect evening, thank you Marta. Oh! by the way, for the first time in my life I subscribed to a channel. All best to you and yours, and I wish you success.

I did this in Germany many new years eve's ago, and then bought a Raclette grill because it was such fun! I love it.

[@anuralatha]

I miss Raclette! Lecker!

[@Meenaskitchen1M]

Very useful video for me Thank you so much

[@cooking-the-world]

You are welcome 🤗

[@johannebrunner6477]

Thank you for another great post. My husband is Swiss and we made some changes to our racellette this year. I added additional foods - and like you said he wasn’t too happy about it but he isn’t the only person eating LOL I also love your idea of a dessert of pancake and chocolate!

[@cooking-the-world]

Hahahahaha 🤣 thanks Johanne, I couldn’t stop laughing after reading your comment. Yes, those things happen when you try to change somebodies tradition. Oh poor him 😅 I bet that wasn’t easy to watch you eating this way 😂

[@josephschmidt4157]

Very interesting video! I enjoyed it very much. Danke.

[@lynsminivlog]

Watching this now because i am planning to do this on new years evening! I need ideas haha 🤣 thank you for there!

[@cooking-the-world]

Ah you are welcome. We decided to get minced meat additionaly ;) but other than this the ingredients list stays the same :)

[@kimijonghighball9626]

Very educational in the sense that I never knew this dish existed. Thank you for posting! 🎄

[@cooking-the-world]

Thanks for watching! :)

[@roselay3433]

I like this! Happy new year all!!

[@cooking-the-world]

Thank you Rose. And happy New Year to you too!

[@aboutbrazil]

Thanks for this great video! I loved the recipes, your video is so complete! I've already subscribed to your channel.

[@johndonohoe3778]

Great ideas Marta. Happy New Year.

[@cooking-the-world]

Thanks John!

[@sicut-lux-aurorae]

Thank you so much for this information. I have seen news stories about raclette, but I didn't realize it was a thing for home Christmas and New Year's Eve parties before your videos. And I certainly didn't realize the distinction between a German party and a Swiss party. Looking forward to trying this--especially the German adaptation.

[@cooking-the-world]

I am glad I could clarify those things for you :) Yes, we love our Reclette Partys at Christmas or NYE. I bet 80% Germans will celebrate the New Years Eve this way this year. I hope you also made delicious plans :) Thanks for watching.

[@claudiaweidman1004]

Happy New Year early :-). Great video

[@cooking-the-world]

Thanks for watching! And happy New Year to you Claudia!:)

[@gloriastroedecke2717]

Happy New Year!

[@cooking-the-world]

Thanks Gloria. And to you too 😍

[@timc2346]

Interesting ,Looks delicious. Happy NewYear.Hopefully life return more to normal soon.

[@cooking-the-world]

Thanks! Yes, I hope so too. Until then we will just cook and eat 😀 That's not a bad plan actually. Hope you enjoyed your holiday and are ready to start New Year with lots of energy!

[@jimfrodsham7938]

That looks so delicious Marta, but very different to the "Sivester Fier" I know. We have Kartoffelsalat, bockwürst and Gerhkins with Berliner pfannkuchen to follow. I sent the link to my German family and the youngest Nichte (37) said they have that equipment and have raclette. I suppose I'm just old old and should slink away into the shadows and bide my peace. Happy Silvester Marta.

[@cooking-the-world]

Oh Jim, you are not too old to eat, trust me :) I am sure that you can find raclette anywhere in the world and enjoy indoor grilling.If you want you will make it work. And yes, it is very popular, I bet this year, 80% of Germans will be indoor grilling for NYE. But to be honest, I would also gladly have Bockwurst and Kartoffelsalat 😍

[@josephschmidt4157]

Frohes neues jahr euch!

[@cooking-the-world]

Danke! Und dir auch natürlich Frohes Neues :)

[@WilliamWeicht]

In Pennsylvania we have an old German tradition of eating sauerkraut and pork for New Years.

[@scottleidenberger4007]

I have done the same thing when we lived in Pennsylvania. I should start doing that again.

[@cooking-the-world]

That be another one, you are right! Hope you will keep it alive. Thanks for watching and happy New Year!

[@preedtheone6332]

Im very glad u called it a german raclette XD

[@TracieSmithpomeranian]

Happy New Year!!!

[@cooking-the-world]

And to you too. Thanks for watching!:)

[@teresacelmins3681]

Wow where would you get the little stone oven. I want to wish you and your family a happy new year. I made the cheese dip.

I live in the states and am of French/ German (Alsace and Freiburg) descent . I have not seen one of these since I was a little girl. I really enjoyed this video. Thank you!

[@cooking-the-world]

Oh Donna, I am glad that I could bring those memories back!:) Thanks for watching!

[@lisamika]

NIce video, thank you :D we gonna do Dutch raclette for Christmas in Sweden which is very unknown by me who I guess is the main chef for the evening :D

[@cooking-the-world]

Ooo Lisa, what is Dutch Raclette?😉 I am sure you will do just fine :)

[@CookingWithThusha]

Thank you for the tasty dish Its German Raclette Party I love this way we can have lots of time with our friends and family

[@TarikDaniel]

To make it even worse for any Swiss, none of my friends and I ever use Raclette cheese for Raclette. We mostly have Gouda :D

[@cooking-the-world]

Hahahahahaha 😂😂😂😂😂

[@didicrow9725]

But then it's not a Raclette. Raclette is only the name of the cheese. If i make Pizza on this grill, it's also not called raclette.

[@gregdubya1993]

@@didicrow9725 it's the cheese and the process.

[@stefanm.1434]

@@didicrow9725Raclette comes from the French word which means scraping. Then the cheese was named for this purpose. But you are right. Gouda is not good for Original Raclette. Maybe the Dutch version 😂

[@didicrow9725]

@@stefanm.1434 I know that because i have family roots in the canton Valais. The Home of the Raclette cheese ;)

Hi, have you ever discussed a recipe for Fastnacht? Frohes Neues Jahr to you both :)

[@cooking-the-world]

Thanks James! I actually filmed 2 videos about Carnival in Germany:) Frohes Neues!

[@korinaviado3333]

How I wish that my family and friends are more inclined to try Raclette, they are definitely missing out 😂 hope you guys had a nice Christmas time. Happy new year Marta and Matias! You’ve gained another 2k+ subs since last week!! 😊 Announcement? I hope it included “weekly videos” still :)

[@cooking-the-world]

Hahahaha! Yes, I don't know where those 2k came from 😂 but I am thankful for them 🙃And yes, indoor grilling is so much fun, how anybody can say no to that... Christmas time was very enjoyable and relaxing, thanks for asking. Did you also have a good time?

[@korinaviado3333]

@@cooking-the-world I thank you for the 2k+ and for whoever will join the community on the daily basis 😊. I introduced Raclette to them but they like hotpot better 😂 Christmas was quiet and relaxed too :)

[@cooking-the-world]

Glad to hear. Oh well, hotpot is also nice tradition, but those are two different things, why wouldn't you just have both:)

[@korinaviado3333]

@@cooking-the-world I might have to buy a good-for-one Raclette grill then and let them drool with envy 😂

I wish they had these pans while I was in Germany many years ago. The cheese looks delicious!

You can buy raclette grills online. Amazon for example has them.

I have never seen a table top grill like that before, nice ! I will have to see if anything like that is sold here in America. Have a great New Year !

I just got one for Christmas this year in the states.

[@sheilaperena3726]

I found you about a month ago and have viewed most all of your videos. I grew up in Germany in my early years before returning to US. My family adored German food except sauerkraut. I’m the only one that can eat it out of a can. My husband spend time there in the Army. He has two adult children there and we visited in the fall of 2007. They usually come here. We were supposed to go last May but countries were closed. We are trying again this April. After watching your videos I believe my husband and I like the Bavarian style better. We will be in Hesse for 2 weeks and Essen for two weeks. Got any suggestions where to eat at. I like pork and he likes beef.

[@cooking-the-world]

hey Sheila, I filmed a video about what to eat in Frankfurt so you can check it out :) I am keeping my fingers crossed that you will manage to go to Germany this year!

[@hedypost7690]

We only drink champagne for New Year's eve but we didn't eat anything.but my parents where from Hungary

[@SaltareObscurum]

As a German that eats it every year it’s weird to see a guide for it 😂 but it’s good. It’s nice that everybody can do it there own style

[@cooking-the-world]

Oh there are almost 29.000 people interested in German food, trust me they need those videos

[@davedouglas5732]

Who isn't starving.

I warn you in the intro. Selbstschuld 😜

[@itsMalma]

I recommend not using chicken on a raclette or keeping it far from the rest

[@familiaroza7195]

Lol

[@casadimilano7048]

You do realise that you’re being racist when you say “Gypsy Pan!” Our correct name is Roma, not Gypsy, that’s what the Gago would call us, Gago is like a white man, the other people, not Roma. You! So please stop being racist! *update* I realise you’re not being racist. Some people are still racist towards the Roma people. I like the word “Gypsy”, I just don’t like how some people use that word, maybe I’m being too sensitive? I enjoy watching your videos.

[@cooking-the-world]

No. Sorry, that wasn’t my intend.
