MUNCHIES Guide to Bavaria: Punky Mountain Cheese

In the first episode of the MUNCHIES Guide to Bavaria, our host, food blogger Ailine Liefeld of Aicuisine, visits Käs Karl-a.k.a. Carlos, a punk rock cheesemaker who produces insanely good product at the Kappeler Alp and makes her Kässpatzen, a cheesy spaetzle dish.
After that, she takes part in a cattle drive in Bad Hindelang, which one could describe as a "love parade for cows". Down in the valley, we find plenty fo hearty Bavarian food, and a lot of beer!

[@Alladiings]

I am German and I'm thankful for the subtitles whenever Karl is talking.

[@FloIstMoep]

+Alladiings His accent is Tyrolese fyi ^^

[@ClemensPohl]

+FloIstMoep you base that claim on what information?

[@FloIstMoep]

Clemens Pohl technical answer: for example the shift of 'k' to 'kch' and of 'st' to 'scht'

[@ClemensPohl]

FloIstMoep it's not uncommon for the outmost southern valleys of germany to have this characteristic in the dialect. Karl (Karl Gehring) was born and raised in Gunzesried, Bavaria. Actually he worked for a couple of years in Tyrolia, but i doubt this influenced his way to speak that much.

[@FloIstMoep]

Clemens Pohl Good to know. Well dialects don't follow landmarks and Tyrolese is a part of the bavarian dialect group so his dialect seems to have a lot of Tyrolese elements. In fact Tyrolese itself isn't homogenic and in some of the northern valleys of the austrian state of Tirol people speak pretty much like Karl. There are different mixes of dialects in parts of south Germany, east Switzerland and west Austria that have those elements though, that's right.

[@gpm1945]

make karl host all the episodes of munchies

[@Kibbler69]

I'm surprised out of all of Bavaria they managed to track down the one hipster dairy farmer there is.

[@ThePilaTo]

+Kibbler this

[@MatanuskaHIGH]

+Kibbler yeah..he really looks like a hipster..hipsters only wish they were as cool as Karl

[@ThePilaTo]

well he´s not a hipster, but a totally uncommon and unrepresantative example of bavarians :D

[@MonkeyspankO]

+Gagan Maur That guy is hilarious. the subtitles don't do him justice

[@evilpagan2342]

Karl clearly was wasted already when she arrived, lol.

[@500dollarjapanesetoaster8]

Karl looks like he plays in a metal band. The cheese shape did look like the body of an acoustic guitar.

[@lucascoval828]

Wasted on life. 😎😎😎

[@TheJanitschar14]

This guy is the Jack Sparrow of the Mountains ... 10/10

[@redfullmoon]

Accurate description

[@skinwalker92]

His buddy actually looks like a Bavarian version of Gibbs.

[@bobbythecorky]

The official Bavarian Lemmy, fueled with cheese and schnaps.

[@HarryVerolme]

best comment LOL

[@AgungTriantoWidyaNugraha]

+Kevin Cochet LOL!! Best comment so far!!

[@CeziHD]

5:35 looks like he loves the tabel

[@TheNLHunting]

+Kevin Cochet dude holy shit, except from the "fueled with" part, I was about to make the exact same comment until I seen yours! Even funnier I had that thought the moment I seen him and not when they put the motorhead covers up to his face!

[@Mummme91]

The best comment I read, EVER!

[@lukemp123]

I love how slightly tense the first interaction with Karl is until she says the schnapps tastes like water hahaha

[@annother3350]

That was cheeky but really broke the ice

[@Strand0410]

It's good to see Rumpelstiltskin has broken into the cheese-making business.

[@hywelcoombe5043]

+Strand LOOL

[@Foodpermaculture]

hahahahahaha!

[@SK22000]

i was thinking Karl looks like he's into heavy metal

[@sadboylokoenjoyer]

Lern mal deutsch du otto

[@samysaid1989]

*Bavaria: The Texas of Germany.*

[@CeziHD]

irgendwie wahr

[@MonkeyspankO]

+samy said dude, lots of Germans in Texas

[@iDenmark]

+samy said Texas: The Bavaria of the USA.

[@GanjaBear29]

+samy said Cows in Texas get fed corn, that shithole dried up of grass long ago.

[@Selvariabell]

samy said Yep, it is the Deep South of Germany.

[@Taylorism1]

I don't know if you english speaking guys can tell from the way he speaks, but Karl is batshit crazy! :D

[@batt3ryac1d]

+westwest yaw He looks fucking insane.

[@KingDennisJensen]

+westwest yaw lol how so??

[@Taylorism1]

Well besides his bavarian dialect, he has a very odd way to talk and move. Probably, because he doesn't get to meet that many different people up there. :D

[@KingDennisJensen]

westwest yaw haha Oh I see, I see! I want to taste his Schnapps!

[@MatanuskaHIGH]

or everyone is insane..and Karl is the only sane one...

[@cuncapt]

that shepherd didn't speak more than 3 words at a time. 110% Mountain

[@alasdairniven6578]

Maybe he's in shock that his sheep have turned into cows.

[@Humpelstilzchen]

@@alasdairniven6578 Best comment ever 😂😂👍

[@broshmosh]

No amount of editing could make me not want to hang out with Kas Karl for a day.

[@deadkisser64]

Karl has the typical villainous laugh.

[@deadkisser64]

Or like a mad scientist.

[@Tackleberry666]

I think he would fit in well in Inglorious basterds 2

[@kittu999c]

3:55 pirates of the Bavarian

[@HarryVerolme]

These "guide to" series are incredible. Thanks guys!

[@ChompChain]

Karl is awesome. Batshit insane, yes, but awesome nonetheless

[@evastreit6115]

Shit, I can not watch this without tearing up. I am from bavaria and living in Berlin for 7 years now. I hardly go back home once a year but grew up like this.

[@ANF6000]

sitting here crying with homesickness... i love berlin, but i need to go home more.

[@ChrisS310]

When they were asking for the schnapps at the table, it reminded me of the basement scene from Inglorious Bastards.

[@ahabtheplant]

Karl is so cool.

[@ramaadhips2653]

- We need schnaps.. + What kind of schnaps? - The best one 'just karl' +- RUDI!

[@chrisr.9288]

Karl should do some sort of tv show just to let people experience more of his weird awesomeness

[@bbuildingmarch7060]

man i love europe. i used to see the scenery and lifestyle on tv. i love the cold, gloomy and cosy days and people seem more peaceful and traditional there. life looks so relaxed.

[@sleepershark8816]

Drinks, cheese and pork that's paradise right there!

[@blublopble]

he looks a bit like johnny depp

[@exeuroweenie]

@@evilpagan2342That's fitting,consider how he's behaving lately.

[@dwarfmcdougal7745]

johnny depp looks a bit like karl

[@LAMTJ]

-"Where else can you go into a shop and buy sheets of pork rind?"... -Mexico, here we call it "chicharon" ;)

[@AR-nu6tc]

Lived in Bavaria, Germany for three years (A little town named Vilseck) and I loved it, will definitely be back again!

[@NoBody-kv3yd]

That chuckle she did after putting that postcard to her chest was so damn cute lol

[@elkayjs5622]

Karl looks like he could be related to Tommy Wiseau

[@WilldoesPwns]

This host is wonderful, good job keep it up

[@cf7833]

Ohhhhh, just seeing the Alpspitze makes me miss my second home: Garmisch-Partenkirchen. Three years I lived there, I hope many more.

[@ShizukaRose]

[@Malaikaah90]

SWEAR DOOOOOWN THIS IS THE BEST EPISODE EVERRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@CookingLessonsforDad]

I never knew Bavaria was so beautiful and interesting. I love the culture!

[@KatiSzed]

Karl is the Captain Jack Sparrow of the alps.

[@babbadudl]

[@Therongunner]

I like Karl, he is the best!

[@williamweaver7251]

Those eggs look amazingly fresh and just all around amazing. Delightful.

[@VerlixStone]

So awesome that people there have jobs just hording Cows down a hill. So simple yet they do it with such pride and dignity. True happiness without the worry of current life distractions.

[@Zachinhollywood]

I love Bavaria, I go skiing there every year. Such a unique and awesome place.

[@dakotafisher8400]

There are so many places in this vast world that I would love to see. Thanks for allowing me the chance to live vicariously through you, at least for now!

[@klavs4209]

These people just don't give a fuck about anything! it's amazing! I love it

[@HarryVerolme]

Whenever I go to Austria (Tirol) we pass through Bayern. Very similar accents, both that sound nothing like the "regular" German language. Both are awesome though.

[@shararehali]

Karl is the best of KZbin!!! And I was glad about the subtitles whenever he spoke...how did the host manage to understand him?

[@Berlin-audiovisuellDe]

Danke für den tollen Beitrag! Lg aus Berlin

[@scumballer6656]

Gah, German/Bavarian women are so beautiful.

[@afxfps]

die übersetzen "zum wohl" mit "to health" LOL

[@afxfps]

"cheers"?

[@afxfps]

***** was is jetz der unterschied zwischen "zum wohl" und "prost" ? jetz musste aber ein raushaun hier .

[@afxfps]

schön geschrieben, trotzdem heißt es übersetzt , in dem kontext , einfach nur "cheers" ich hab noch nie iwo auf der welt gehört, dass iwer sagt " to health" ....

[@afxfps]

du hast dir heute echt was vorgenommen , was? :D erinnert mich an meinen ex-deutschlehrer

[@mane4209]

+Diggie Owns "to health" sagen die englischsprachigen auch nicht, aber die Franzosen sagen "santé", also Gesundheit. Iraner sagen "salamati" was auch Gesundheit bedeutet. Wurd halt einfach wörtlich übersetzt und nicht sinngemäß.

[@tmgreenhalgh]

Bavaria looks really interesting, would love to go.

[@CeziHD]

Großartig so tollen Content auf KZbin zu finden! Danke.
