The big difference between US style sandwiches and German "belegte Brötchen" like you had in the Video (correct me if I'm wrong) is that US sandwiches are all about the filling and the bread is basically just there to hold it all together and make it easier to eat. In belegte Brötchen, the bread is on equal footing with the filling and contributes a lot of flavour and texture.

[@alabamatrixie7379]

[@davebirch1976]

European bread is fresher as it doesn't have loads of sugar and preservatives in it meaning the freshly cooked bread, which you get at bakeries are best eaten same day. In the UK most supermarkets have various fresh baked in store bread as well as sliced bread which usually has a 5-7 day shelf life.

[@McMicday]

​@@davebirch1976 yep also in Germany and is cheaper in the supermarket. price supermarket bread 750g 1,69€ vs 3,98€ bakeries bread.. but the german bakeries bread can you eat for 5-6 days . -> ;) /shorts/lqkjTYNrpEs

[@soraite9775]

The reason why the Zupfkuchen or german cheese cakes in general taste different than american versions is because here in germany, austria and swiss we use Quark (or Topfen which is another name for Quark) for cheese cake instead of cream cheese. Quark consists of way less fat but way more proteine than cheese, and afaik Quark is mostly a thing here in central europe and mostly unknown anywhere else. Also Quark can often be eaten by people that usually have problems with digesting cheese and most dairy products because it is made out of milk but it is just so different in terms of what it consists. Naturaly it is neither very sweet nor savory so you find it used in pasteries or icecream and also in savory dishes like for the dough dumplings. And one thing i really like is just mix Quark with herbs (You can even buy Kräuterquark at the supermarket for convenience) and eat it with some variant of potatoes just like you would use sour cream.

[@thefaeriewilds]

That makes sense, we have seen so many different types of Quark here. We have been dipping carrots in Kräuterquark as a snack haha.

About bakeries: Just to deepen the information about bread, cakes and bakeries. In Germany there are two types of bakeries. The first, normal bakery specializes mainly in bread and buns but also simple pastries. Here you will find, for example, the "Berliner", "Rosinenschnecken", marzipan croissants, simple cakes such as "Bienenstich" and strawberry or other fruit cakes you can see in this vid. These are run by a master baker. However, there are also "Konditoreien" which are specialized pastry shops that have special education for cakes, tarts and other fine confectionery. They can also sell bread and buns/rolls, but this is more of a side business here. These shops are managed by a master confectioner. Here you will find the best high quality cakes, tarts based on their training. Are these the best cakes in the world? A matter of opinion, there are very good tarts, cakes and sweets in Austria, France and also Italy, but the latter are often very sweet. This countries also have the profession of master confectioner and overall, there has been an intensive exchange of craftsmanship between these countries for decades. Konditoreien or pastry shops also often have a fine café attached just to enjoy the delicacies on the spot. Just the right place for "Kaffee und Kuchen" (coffee and cake), the German way of "tea time". ;)

[@thefaeriewilds]

That is so cool to know, thank you :) we will have to see what a nice Konditorei has.

[@rogerlynch5279]

Yes, there are BAKERIES and PASTRYMAKERS, Bäckereien und Konditoreien. as someone grown up in Old Bavaria I love PRINZREGENTENSCHNITTE. ( OLD BAVARIA it is the term for the classical Babarian areas before the Napoleonic Wars, mainly UPPER and LOWER BAVARIA and some Counties around Karlsruhe. That is why Mark Twain had written in his travel diareis " THE BLACKFOREST LAYS IN BAVARIA, what is not true anymore )

[@connyklein5447]

I recommend "Donauwelle" (in english: "wave of the river danube"). Its a chocolate sponge cake as base with cherrys baked into it. Then on top there is a vanilla buttercream. The finish is a layer of chrunchy dark chocolate with a wave like pattern. A marriage made in heaven.

[@argh1975]

I am pretty sure that the cream/sauce of the Eierbrötchen was Remoulade. You can buy it in every German supermarket. It's mayonnaise with herbs. You can use Remoulade instead of butter on bread and bread rolls... of course, just as an addition to cold cuts, sliced cheese, egg, tomatoes and - if you like - fish, e.g. canned tuna.

[@ileana8360]

It is quite typical for German fruit cakes that the fruits taste natural and even sour, the "Quark"/cheese layer sour/sweet and the cake part more neutral than sweet. I love this combination as it is very refreshing during the summer season. Regarding the pudding: there is no banana, it is vanilla. It would be a really exotic bakery to use something else, especially banana. BTW: the strawberry season is comming and I am sure that you will find a field nearby where you can harvest them fresh and for much less money than at the supermarket. How ever, try to make your own "Erdbeerkuchen": - Biskuitt-Tortenboden (you can buy it ready at every supermarket) - Vanilla-Pudding (DrOetker Backfeste Puddingcreme), so the cake doesn´t get soggy) - strawberrys fresh from the field - Tortenguss (DrOetker Tortenguss red with added strawberry flavour or neutral) so the fruits stay fresh Served with whipped cream (with or without sugar) and a good cup of coffee. Bon appetit! Another seasonal cake is: Pflaumenkuchen/Zwetchgenkuchen. But be careful, when not made well it can be really dry. I rather go for the option with quark and streusel than the plain traditional one. P.S.: Your dog is adorable!

[@thefaeriewilds]

A strawberry field would be so fun! If we go to one I will do my best to make an Erdbeerkuchen, thank you for the recipe :)

[@Anson_AKB]

@@thefaeriewilds _Tortenguß_ is the covering for fruit that you also saw in your video ("they are so shiny"), it prevents the fruit from becoming dry or even starting to rot when the cake is not sold fast enough. Homemade versions are mostly applied quite liberally and fill all the gaps between fruit on some _Biskuit-Tortenboden_ (it also contains lots of sugar and thus counters the sourness of many raw fruit) while bakeries often use only a thin "protective cover" of it which is made with gelatine (mostly not vegan) and thus cheaper and more durable. ps: quite often, syrup (strawberry, raspberry, cherry) is added to _Tortenguß_ to add some more sweetness and most of all some red color (instead of artificial food coloring)

[@oaooo8691]

I'll never forget the little bakery here in my village. Sadly the bakers family is now doing everything since he is in his 80s. They're still great but he was in a league of his own. When he retired nearly five years ago he had been a baker for almost 60 years and had this bakery for 40 years. His breads and cakes were to die for. I miss that food. He also always invited kindergarden and preschool classes into his bakery to teach them baking.

[@arnodobler1096]

Now I'm even more looking forward to " Kaffee und Kuchen" (coffee and cake) today. Tradition in Germany, like Tea Time in England. The almond "hörnchen" have marzipan in them, that's why they are so sweet. I love "Nußecken", "Linzer Torte" (Austrian actually) you should also try. You are very nice. Nice that you are here.

[@thefaeriewilds]

[@melchiorvonsternberg844]

The thing about the forest fruit "Christmas cake"... In fact, such relatively light cakes are often made in the right season. May/June is strawberry season. And there are these cakes, made with fresh strawberries. Add a dollop of whipped cream and a cup of coffee and you have a classic Sunday afternoon at Mom's in the country. But in general, such cakes are called "fruit base". You can do this with all sorts of fruit. You can buy a cake base from the bakery and then decorate it according to your own mood. Canned fruit also works quite well. Peaches go really well with this. But in general, any fruit that doesn't completely squish when it's put in a tin. It doesn't work well with strawberries... Ask your backer, for some tricks. They sure would explain it to you...

Bakery Items i can highly recommend: Franzbrötchen (they look like flattend Croissants with molten sugar and cinnamon between the layers. the darker, the crispier), Kreppel aka Pfannkuchen or Berliner (depends on where you are in Germany): Like Donuts without the hole but a filling. Normal ones contain jam, but try the more exotic, like egg liqueur or plum and madeira. The fruitcakes are best in the right season, so now in spring soon there will be fantastic rubarb and strawberrie cakes, a bit later then cherry.

In September and October you drink Federweiser with Zwiebelkuchen. It's a kind of grape juice that has started to ferment, so has some alcohol but not as much as wine. OMG it's a marriage made in heaven.

[@RustyDust101]

Oh yes, especially if the Zwiebelkuchen is still warm from the oven. Btw: Federweißer isn't filtered, very sweet, but it already contains between 4-7% vol alcohol. So you don't notice how much you drink. Together with the onions it gives you huge amounts of gas, so be careful not to go into public places one or two hours after consumption. You will swell like a balloon from the combination. But still, it is sooo good and totally worth it. 😂😂

[@Anson_AKB]

it's already November now, thus a hint for next year: Federweißer (and Federroter from red grapes) can also be bought in bottles in supermarkets. but watch out: because fermentation is ongoing, it will produce much more alcohol over time while reducing the amount of sweetness/sugar, and that also produces lots of CO2 (as well as more yeast on the bottom). thus the bottles have special loose bottlecaps that let the gas out and are NOT and should NOT be closed airtight, and they need to be kept standing all the time to not create a mess. If you get it in a restaurant, be carefull whether the season just has started or is already going for a while : while in france on some school exchange, we had 3-4 quarter liters on our first day when the season started and it was just very sweet grape juice _(Most)_ with almost no alcohol, but 10 days later we ordered the same and were tipsy after just one single quarter.

[@MHG1023]

@thefaerywilds Be prepared to find different kinds of bread and bakery cakes/snacks depending on which area in Germany you are in. Some of those are found all over Germany (but may have different names depending on the region) and many of them are local/regional specialties only. Bakeries often name their items themselves to add some "local identity" to them and they are pretty creative in naming their products ... Generally savoury items are significantly less sweet here in Germany although most of us still have a sweet tooth but we generally prefer sweetness as an "add on" rather than purpose in itself. Ingredients used for food are generally much more regulated. So, bread and pastries contain very little amounts of preservatives - if any at all - or even taste enhancing agents (that applies to other foods, too). German authorities are particularily strict on keeping food as pure (and healthy) as possible. Our "food laws" usually go way beyond the minimum standards set by the European Union and the result is what you just experienced ...

[@mucxlx]

You have to slice the big bread thinner ;D. Thats way too thick, Its usually eaten with butter. And then cheese or meats on top. But some also prefer Nutella or just plain salt or chives. Its like the most basic german bread i would say. You can try the "Bienenstich" cake. Its often overlooked but very good. Its the one that has a hard layer with omens on top and white cream in the middle. Or if you can find it a ciabatta bread with olives inside. Its pretty rare tho, not every bakery has it. And dont forget Krapfen which looks like this donut u had with powdered sugar but has a filling. It has a different name wherever you live. Also called Berliner. But they will understand both.

[@thefaeriewilds]

Haha yeah I don't know why the urge to cut into it like a cake won, but it was really good with butter, we'll have to try some other toppings next time :) We've been keeping an eye out for the Bienenstich but haven't seen one yet, is it seasonal?

[@ileana8360]

Still looking for an Austrians commenting that Kaiserscharrn is their dish. 😂 It might be a German speaking country, but that´s about it.

[@beageler]

Kaiserschmarrn is a Bavarian/Austrian thing. Bavaria and Austria are quite similar, but still quite different. It is basically a more fluffy and thicker German pancake all ripped up with a lot of powdered sugar. If you want to try a quintessential German dish, try to find a German style Döner shop. Obviously it is a variant of a near eastern dish, but the German variant was developed in Germany and is probably the most commonly eaten Fast Food in Germany. I would assume it is one of the most commonly eaten dishes in Germany, period. The German/Austrian thing is curious in general. Austria is more like just another German subcultural region (or better said a collection of subcultural regions, since Austria is not uniform, either), but Austrians want to be their own country (which is totally fine, whatever). There are differences but they're not really bigger than the differences between different subcultural regions in Germany. It kinda goes back to the Germanic nation/culture being fragmented for so long. Germany itself has quite a few subcultures that are heavily influenced by the countries around it and, vice versa, it is not unusual for neighboring countries to have subcultures of originally Germans. Austria is pretty much only germanic culture (but not German as in the modern nationality, cool down Austrians :-P), Switzerland in a big part (about 1/3, AFAIK) and other countries around Germany have smallish Germanic minorities (France in Alsace, Netherlands and Belgium throughout, Poland and Czech Republic right at the borders, Italy in one small region at the Austrian border, Liechtenstein throughout and not insignificantly, Denmark very slightly at the border. All AFAIK, obviously).

[@Kivas_Fajo]

It's Austrian alright. Kaiserschmarrn literally means The Emperors Hooey. And by Emperor Kaiser Franz Joseph I. is meant.

[@beageler]

@@Kivas_Fajo Today it means hooey, but the historical meaning that applies here is hodgepodge, AFAIK. And like many germanic specialties, it is known in neighboring regions, too. In this case especially in Bavaria which is and was quite close to Austria culturally.

The pastry you asked about is a "Knieküchla" (it is also somtimes referred to as "Auszogene"). It is traditionally baked for parish fairs.

Quark is, technically, a cheese, but the taste and texture is more along the lines of either a fairly tangy, maybe even a bit tart, wet cream cheese, or a slightly tangy, firm and drier yoghurt. You can use it virtually for all recipes calling for cream cheese. There are several types from Doppelrahm (40%), Rahm (20%) down to Magerquark (between 2-5%) with the fat content in parentheses. It is also a great butter substitute for sandwiches of the savory type if you want to keep the calories down. The Quarktasche is made with Quark incorporated into the dough, not as a filling. 9:00 That looks like a Berliner (Pfannkuchen), or Krapfen, or Krebbel, depending on the local dialect. It literally is a donut without the central hole punched out. It is normally deep fried in a floating bath of Butterschmalz/ something to unclarified ghee. That's why the inside puffs up and creates the empty pocket. It's not due to the baker being cheap, it's part of the baking/frying process and a good sign of a high quality dough. 👍 Rosinenbrötchen is a perfect pair buttered and with a sweet topping like jams or honey. Even a slightly tart jam or marmelade like black currants or gooseberry. The raisins and the fluffy texture of the slightly sweet dough make it perfect to offset the tangy tartness.

Quark = "Curd cheese" and basically "clotted milk" = the product which you get when you divide the milk into protein + liquid which is the very first step in cheese production for every kind of cheese. And that what you called "empty pouch" has different names depending what region in Germany but usually in the South that is called "Krapfen" and the "traditional" filling is apricot jam, but there are also other jams as filling or also vanilla cream as well.

I agree the brötchen from the bakery are always perfect, but theyre pretty expensive thats why they put so much cheese or ham in it, which you can literally remove half of it and use it on another brötchen. xD. for seasonal stuff I recommend checking out bakeries during carnival seasons. they sell lots of different types of "berliner". some with fanilla filling or coffeecream filling, which are so good. theres also a classic called "amerikaner" , an american, which looks just like a dough UFO with sugar coating.

In the north of Germany you will find Franzbrötchen, traditionally with cinnamon, but also available (like from that one shop in Hamburg's central train station) with different toppings like nuts, chocolates, crumbles, rhubarb..... Anything with rhubarb is great (juice as well), often combined with strawberries in the strawberry season. In autumn apple cakes/strudel with cinnamon, eaten often with vanilla icecream. For Christmas we mostly switch over to biscuits which we then call Plätzchen with Christmassy flavours. Stollen of course is very Christmassy. For Easter there is more yeast involved, Osterzopf is a fluffy breakfast bread with yeast, eaten with jam. Berliner (like a doughnut with no hole in the middle but jam inside) is a traditional thing especially for New Year's Eve but you can find and eat them all year round. They are really ubiquitous - only in Berlin itself they are called Pfannkuchen because Berliners are too fancy to eat themselves (whereas we Hamburgers also eat hamburgers, we don't mind, we are normal people, haha!). Have fun in Germany!

in Berlin and many other (mostly more eastern) regions, they are and always were called Pfannkuchen. but since other regions say Pfannkuchen for Crepes, those other regions specify which kind of Pfannkuchen they are meaning: "Berliner Pfannkuchen", and when they are too lazy to say two long words, they shorten it to "Berliner". Thus it is not the people from Berlin who "are too fancy" and want to avoid that name, but they always had that name Pfannkuchen in the first place and there was no need to specify that people in Berlin are speaking of Berliner Pfannkuchen when they say Pfannkuchen. We know that other name and its abbreviation, but it only was "imported" by tourists and other people who moved to Berlin.

Ooo the brownies with berries looks yummy. Well it all looks good

[@melchiorvonsternberg844]

That's actually no brownie batter. The paste is much less sweet and supports the fruit flavor in which the base has a not very strong flavor of its own. In addition, the base has a different consistency than a brownie. The bottom must not soak up the liquid from the fruit, otherwise it will crumble too easily. But you can be sure that it tastes great!

10:29 this is usually raspberry (that just a classic flavor for those roles) Some really great classics in there :D I think my favorite cake has got to be "Donauwelle" which some other people already explained in the comments i think. My favorite savory snack would be "Knusperstange". It's just like the savory german version of a croissant (puff pastry usually with poppy seeds and sesame and slightly salty). In most versions they'll have ham in there but i only tried the 'basic' one without any real filling as i don't eat meat.

[@aw3s0me12]

8:44 is a *Berliner or Krapfen* the orgin of *Donut* >> 1st mentioned in 14th century, in the very ever first printed cookbook. >> Back than also filled with meat and such in the begining, than also unfilled and with sweet fillings like Fruit-Jam & Honey.

[@elipa3]

The sweet thing you bought is a kreppel, or berliner. It has other names too, depending on the region. Most of them are filled, either with marmelade or pudding or other sort of creams. They are usually very sweet.

[@immitable]

Love your taste test and that you looked up every item before trying it 👏🏻👏🏻

[@LexusLFA554]

I'd love a Leberkäse Hörnchen hier in Swabia. Essentially just a croissant topped with salad, probably sauce, and Leberkäse. (BTW, it's Leberkäse (liver cheese), not Lebkäse (live-cheese)) That Krusti is definitely named after the crunch. Belegt means topped. What are called Schnitten at your place we call Rollen instead. A Schnitte at our place is a rectangular piece of cake. Eiersemmel are great. Your Eiersemmel is made with Laugenbrötchen, a roll form of pretzel dough. Ours are made with standard bread rolls or Käsesemmeln. The Brownie I would rather call a (german) Fruitcake version. The Bratwurst im Schlafrock we have as well, but it was more popular before Covid. Schlafrock is probably a funny way to say sleeping bag. The unnamed pillow looks kinda similar to a Krapfen, but without filling. What would that be called? US Pastries really have a problem with sugar and all kinds of garbage unneeded additives. Your hostess brought you a Erdbeerrolle and a Waldbeerenschnitte by the looks of it. The bread is probably a kilo, and looks very rustic. You should cut more thin slices though. Rosinen I am not the biggest fan of. The chocolate croissant looks fabulous. Pudding is usually vanilla flavored. I haven't had Zupfkuchen in a while. The Mandelhörnchen is pretty nice because it is kinda like Plätzchen that you can have all year round. The Nussecke is just a staple, almost every bakery has a version of it. Kokosstange is missing a second S. Coconut wasn't that big of a deal 5-10 years back, but it has started appearing on the market. (Same with Watermelon flavored drinks, ugh).

[@Kivas_Fajo]

Zwiebelkuchen is best eaten slightly warmed up.

[@Kazuya720]

Little tip about the whole bread: 1. cut it in half! 2. cut one half in another half (so a quarter of the whole one). 3 now you can cut slices of them about 1 - 1,5 cm thick slices of the bread, instead of having this hugh cake like pieces you had before ^^

[@Hirndille]

I watch a lot of these "American people discover german food" kind of videos. Whats common in all of them is, that the german food is not as sugary or flavory like the stuff from overseas. Mostly this is based on the german food regulations. Many artificial flavour chemicals are not allowed, sugar levels are generally lower and "natural" ingredient percentage is oftentimes double compared to food stuff you can find in US stores. So a lot of US people find german stuff bland at first, but quickly adjust to and appreciate the flavour level in german food. In many videos they tell when they return home, its a shock how much more sugar and artifical flavour is added "back home". And even if there are "german style" bakeries or shops, their stuff still does not taste like the real german stuff.

[@thefaeriewilds]

Yes, I love sweets a lot, but it’s also so nice to taste the actual flavors here in Germany, instead of just plain sugar flavor.

[@MichaEl-rh1kv]

Schlafrock is old-fashioned (19th century) for nightgown, but could also be used for a dressing gown. Zupfkuchen is actually based on a Russian recipe.

[@zalba5710]

No, Zupfkuchen was originally created for a dr oetker recipe competition in 1993 and didn’t exist beforehand. The only connection to Russia is the name.

[@MichaEl-rh1kv]

@@zalba5710 I stand corrected: Apparently it was invented in East Germany and got the name "Russian Zupfkuchen" by the TV advertisments of the Dr. Oetker company which gained access to the recipe as it was submitted to said contest. They made then a baking mixture for it and sold it as "Russischer Zupfkuchen".

[@i-am-your-conscience]

0:50 No, not corned beef, its pork and about following ratio: 47% pork belly, 47% lean pork meat, 6% pork liver (more or less depending on region and if its "Fleischkäse" or "Leberkäse") and some herbs and spices.. Grinded up very finely with some ice to keep the temperature down. Then, its some kind of meat dough, you put it into a loaf pan and bake it. Then cut it. You can actually do this quite easily at home if you have the right kitchen tools, freshly baked its even better.

[@beageler]

The rolls are called Krusti and Hörnla, I assume. It's like fast food joints giving names to their burgers. The -la at the end of hörnla makes me thing you're in swabia, I think -la is the swabian diminutive form? If you misundertsood and it's -le you could be anywhere in Germany. -le is especially connected as the diminutive form to Bavaria and neighboring regions in the south, but it is found all over Germany. The reason those rolls taste like Bretzen is that they're lye rolls. Pre-baking, the dough is immersed in lye and that gives it that texture and colour on the outside and that taste. The German term is Lauge (lye), combined with -gebäck (baked goods), -brötchen (roll) or -bretze (Pretzel). Very popular in Germany. The "Brownie" is made and sold as a cake, brownies as you know them are a separate specialty. This is just a cake with a chocolate dough base. Zwiebelkuchen is awesome. There are basically two varieties, one is a deep, open topped cake and the filling has more in it to make it creamy. The second variety is a sheet cake. Both are good. Especially good with new vine (basically must. Outside of the Palatinate it is usually called Federweisser). It is a tradition to combine the two to a meal and it tastes very nice, but the farting afterwards is otherworldly :-D That sweet pastry with powdered sugar is a variety of Berliner ( also called Krapfen in the Rhineland and Pfannkuchen in Berlin). That is basically the German variant of filled donuts. The filled version is the standard variety and so the unfilled ones look like the filled ones instead of like donuts. Anecdotally, filled donuts in the american style were not easy to come by in the 90's and early 2000's, and so I was looking forward to finally having one. And when I got one and realised that it is just a tiny Berliner I was really disappointed (and that explained why they were hard to come by, we already had something better. Well, better besides how one eats it, that's a mess with Berliner). Reddish whipped cream fillings are most often raspberry (or a raspberry heavy mix of red berries. A common german term would be Waldfrucht), although strawberry is closely behind raspberry. If it's not said what the fruit is (or not prominently advertised at least) it's probably raspberry, strawberry and other fruits would be prominently advertised. That loaf of bread looks like the amount of bread the average German eats in a week, more or less. And it will keep that long, just cover the side you cut slices off, standing the loaf on that side works, too. Alternatively you can put the loaf in a paper bag (plastic will make it moldy after a few days. The pre-sliced packages in plastic bags you can buy from the rack in supermarkets have preservatives in them) or put it in a bread case. Of course after almost a week the bread will be a bit drier, but not hard if kept sensibly. If you like Camembert but maybe wish it wouldn't go pungent and strong tasting after a few days, try Brie. It's made a bit differently, but it turns out like Camembert that stays young for longer. And if you're interested in cheese, two prominently special cheeses from Germany are Limburger and Harzer. Both are really strong and Harzer is made from Quark instead of milk (and if there is white and dry stuff in the middle of the Harzer, it is not ripe yet. Leave it out of the fridge for some time and the white part turns into regular Harzer. But be careful, we're talking hours of ripening here, and when Harzer is overripe it is really strong, not for everybody. But then, Harzer itself isn't for everybody). Sweet mustard is a real thing in, predominantly southern, Germany. The mustard seeds are roughly ground, it has way less spice (I wouldn't be surprised if medium yellow mustard was hotter than regular mustard you're used to) and is a bit sweet. It looks more like a jam with seeds in it, and is traditionally used for Weisswurst (Bavarian white sausage), although it is used instead of yellow mustard in general in some regions, too. The concentration on the toppings is curious. The toppings are just kinda random toppings you can find anywhere, the thing that makes them german are the rolls.

[@thefaeriewilds]

Yes, we're in Franken, and it seems like the -la ending is common here as well. Ah, that makes sense, I was wondering what Lauge meant, as we've seen it on so many different items. Thank you for the advice on keeping bread! It's so nice to have fresh bread here with no preservatives, but we have been afraid to buy large loaves without knowing how long they will last. Harzer sounds really interesting, I will have to give it a try sometime. :)

[@beageler]

@@thefaeriewilds I think i have to amend my storage tipps. Just standing the loaf on the cut surface is good for a few days, for up to a week a paper bag, wrapping in a towel or putting in a bread case are much better. It's not gonna turn hard in the former case, but quite dry. Frankonia is right beside Swabia, cultural differences between regions aren't necessarily that harsh :-) And those regions have rather more similarities than less, AFAIK. Happy to help. To be honest, I wouldn't have written such a wall of text if the act of explaining stuff wasn't satisfying to me ;-)

[@stef987]

@beageler -le sounds very southern to me. Where I live (in the North) we use -chen or sometimes -lein. I suppose a "Hörnle" is what we would call a "Hörnchen" here. I think -lein actually might be found all over Germany, but I am not sure.

[@beageler]

@@stef987 Yeah, I didn't want to imply that -le is used everywhere in Germany but that it is a diminutive form in many dialects all over Germany. I have the dim feeling that there are eastern and kinda northern dialects where -le would not surprise me.

[@stef987]

@@beageler oh, ok, then I probably misread that. I personally associate -le with the South, Swabia, to be precise (never heard of -la by the way and my first thought was that they might have misheard the bakery seller or something?), but I don't know every dialect, so it might be used in other regions all over Germany as well, no idea. Though that would actually have been my guess regarding -lein. My Grandma who grew up in East Prussia often used -lein to create a diminutive version of my name and years later a child who had previously lived in Schleswig Holstein did the same (which actually was pretty unexpected and funny😅). Then there is that old song "Herzilein" from folk musicians that I believe are from Southern Germany. So, well... I don't know. I am no linguist and so far haven't met people from all parts of Germany...🤷‍♀

[@Kelsea-2002]

A great idea implemented in a great video. I would like to give you one advice regarding fruitcake in Germany - always selects cakes with local and seasonal fruit. Then you can be 99% sure that it is fresh fruit and not canned.

The bratwurst thing is a similar idea to the UKs sausage rolls except sausage rolls are sausage meat wrapped and cooked in puff pastry. Bratwurst is quite herby, and very similar in taste to the Lincolnshire sausage in the UK.

The cake looks delicious. The filling is probably made of curd or yoghurt. In Germany we are used to have less sugar and fat in cakes, cookies, ice, sweets. I tried american icecream and sweets and threw them away. They were much too sugary. If you put too much sugar in cakes, you cant taste the other flavours.

[@bobrocker6582]

Here’s a tipp if you have leftover bread: Make Zupfbrot (picking bread) Take the leftover loaf and cut a checkerboard pattern in the upper side. Stuff the slits with garlic butter (or kräuterbutter), ham and cheese and put it in the oven until the cheese is melted. It’s a super delicious way to avoid throwing away bread, especially because you can do this with bread that is already super hard. The butter just softens it again in the oven.

[@Anson_AKB]

not the best, but a similar more "quick&dirty" method to avoid waste and throwing it away: put hard bread (buns) that you left in the open in the microwave for 10-15 seconds. this heats them up and all remaining water will be spread out in it, making it soft again, and because it's warm also make it appear "somewhat fresh". BUT eat it very quickly because another 10 minutes later the warmed water will be evaporated, making it even harder than before and not even eatable with a hammer and chisel. this also can only be done once. alternative: have a nice cup of sweet coffee with milk and let the bread soak in it until it is soft again (but doesn't fall apart yet) and then eat it with a spoon.

[@Kutchulu]

[@winterschmied4583]

Quark is often translated with curd. For making Quark you use pasteurized Milk and add Lactic bacteria or Butter milk. The milk separates into protein and whey. The protein is then put into a kitchen towel to let the remaining whey drip out. Then it's called Quark. The Austrian Topfen is nearly the same but more dry. For the Quarktasche the Quark is added into the dough.

@@melchiorvonsternberg844 that was probably shortly after they started pasteurizing all milk, thus causing milk to no longer become sour after 2 days, but be durable for a few (very few) more days, and long-life milk and extra-long-shelf-life milk were unthinkable (which are the current usual two kinds of milk that we have: the former for ~3 weeks in the fridge, the latter without refrigeration for half a year or more, both only while not opened yet). in those old times, the milk really became sour and not bitter like today, and we always set up little bowls with that sour milk and just waited another two days to get something similar to yoghurt.

Lebkäse =„Leberkäse“ is from the Leber and another same looking thing is „Fleischkäse“ = its without Leber strong flavor, often more eaten in middle and north Germany. ( its taste more like Fleischwurst ). Some Metzgerei have both. In Supermarket look on the Backside if its in a pack with some slices which is it.

[@Anson_AKB]

Most of the time, the word "Leber" has nothing to do with liver, but is derived from an old word that changed to "Laib" nowadays (or english "loaf"!). Similarly, "Käse" (which means cheese) is derived from the old word for a chest (in english "case"!). Thus the original meaning probably was that that meat was made as a "loaf (of meat) in a case" without the need to have either liver or cheese in it. just look at its shape before cutting slices. Over several centuries, meanings 'wore out' and changed, and thus we now have legal rules what can be named how in which areas: afaik, Leberkäse in Bavaria may be the old traditional non-liver version, but then must be produced in Bavaria as "Bavarian Leberkäse" or in other regions possibly be named "Leberkäse bavarian style" or similar. in those other regions it would need to really contain some percentage of liver when it is named "LEBERkäse" (without reference to Bavaria, and hehe, still no need to contain cheese anywhere inside or outside of Bavaria:-), but usually it simply is called "Fleischkäse" (meat in a case, instead of liver in a case) to avoid all these legal naming problems for liver-less versions.
