In March of 1982, I was 18 and on a high school trip. Heidelberg was our first stop. We had a small tour of the castle first then off to our hotel. We had a very interesting hotel and meal that night. But, I will still never ever forget that first view of the castle at night. Walking through the old town area, and at the end of the street maybe one of the most magical things I had ever seen... that castle up on a hill all lit up. Stole my breath... have always wanted to go back. Back then we didn't have camera phones and I didn't get that picture... but, I remember it very very fondly.... My dream.... to return... and yet... here I am...lol... all these later and haven't yet... but, still a bucket list and dream list stop!!!

Saumagen is minced pork in various grades, pork pieces, potatoes, spices an herbs stuffed in a cleaned out pigs stomached, which then is cooked. You then can eat it like a sausage or fry it. So the stomach is just the casing and there are a lot of variants here in Palatinate 😊

[@loboheeler]

Saumagen sounds great to me, but I am a fan of various kinds of offal. Huge fan of sweetbreads, and I wonder if that is much eaten in Europe. Disgusts most Americans.

[@sandyakabatteriehuhn]

@@loboheeler Here in Palatinate offal ("Innereien") is a thing (we are known for liver sausage and dumplings, chicken kidneys, beef tounge etc) Bit I can't say it's popular - I grew up with it, so I like it. 😊 Sweetbread ("Kalbsbries") is rare, like most veal dishes, but not unknown. I can't speak for the rest of europe though.

[@tubekulose]

​@@loboheeler Sweetbreads are great. As a fan of offals you should go to Austria, especially Vienna (my home city and the most beautiful city on the planet 😁). It is a stronghold of exquisite cuisine, when it comes to the preparation of inner organs and of course all other kinds of great food.

[@MaiersMinis]

Thank you for this video. I agree, Saumagen really isn't a common food in Baden-Württemberg (where I'm from). They eat it in Rheinland-Pfalz. Funny but true: there is no stomach in this dish! Traditionally it was cooked in a empty pig stomach just like a sausage is made in intestines. Nowadays Saumagen is mostly not even more made in a stomach. It's just a weird name for a really tasty Leberkäse with Potatoes in it.

[@hagenmassar4555]

Naja, eigentlich nicht ganz wahr. Der Saumagen ist pfälzisch, hier wurde er erfunden und hier wird er auch zum Großteil gegessen. In Rheinhessen teilweise, Hunsrück, Mosel oder Eifel ekeln sie sich davor. Genauso verhält es sich mit dem Dornfelder. Zwar gekreuzt in Weinsberg, aber die größten Anbaugebiete sind Pfalz und Rheinhessen. Jedoch hatte der Kellner nicht ganz unrecht als er sagte es wäre regional. Heidelberg ist noch Kurpfalz, also ;) zählt es noch irgendwie als regional.

The plum cake looks awesome. When I was working a a Renaissance Festival there was a food vendor right behind us that was run by a older gentleman who moved from Germany.

First and so far only trip to Europe for work was 2008. Spent almost 2 weeks in Germany and over the weekend my coworker and I went to Heidelberg one day. Visited the castle and walked the bridge. I do not remember us having a meal there, but we may have had a small lunch or snack. I am American and most of my ancestors were German or from nearby areas with German ethnicity who came to the US in the 19th century. So, the entire time I was there, I found the food most enjoyable even if not always familiar. My coworker did not like anything with vinegar it it so he was not as happy! That meal at the end I was feeling hungry looking at it! I grew up on a farm and home-made sausage with intestine casings were something I got to help with as a child.

[@volldillo]

Thank you for the Saumagen. Bratkartoffeln, Sauerkraut and that kind of dark sauce also belong to my dishes, but Saumagen was new for me. I had to look up for it in the wikipedia. German wikipedia is better than the English one (the English wikipedia claims, that the pork stomach itself is important, whereas the German wikipedia clarifies, that the pork stomach is only used for being filled and then cooked/baked or whatever).

[@janpracht6662]

Our former chancellor in Germany, Helmut Kohl, loved pig stomach (probably the Palatine recipe, because he came from this region). Once US president Bil Clinton said: "I remained Helmut's friend- even when he let me eat pig stomach (Sau Magen)!" 😂

Next time when you eat Saumagen you must eat the mustard together with Saumagen not with roasted potatoes.

If you ascend the hill even higher from the Philosopher's Way (with the epic views), you will find the "Thingstätte", an amphitheater built by students in the 1940s. Right next to it are the ruins of an old monastery. It's a really beautiful place that is, unfortunately, missed out by many tourists. You'd probably need to save an extra day for the exhausting hike, especially if you plan to see the castle as well.

Just a few remarks: (1) Strange that you fail to mention that the Heidelberger Schloss was in fact a ruin since the 17th century (one of the many visits of French troups to Germany). (2) Saumagen is a dish typical of the historical Palatinate region and commonly associated with the former Chancellor Kohl who came from Palatinate areas west of the Rhine (city of Ockersheim).

[@ekaterinas8796]

It is Oggersheim.

I remember Chancellor Kohl invited Prime Minister Thatcher for dinner and saumagen was what they had. I met Chancellor Kohl, while serving in the US Army at Coleman Army Airfield. His plane landed there and he and his family had flown in. He came over to our hangar and hung out with us for at least an hour. We showed his children our aircraft (Chinooks) and got to talk with him. It was a very memorable experience.

Saumagen is originally from Rheinland-Pfalz and was the favorite dish of former German Chancellor Helmut Kohl. You can compare it with Scottish Haggis - but in this case I would prefer the German Saumagen.

[@egoneiermann-tn7sc]

Because so many people here are saying it wrong, I have to set the record straight. Saumagen is a Palatinate specialty and Heidelberg is the former Palatinate (Kurpfalz) residence (before it migrated to Mannheim and then to Munich after the Bavarian line of the Wittelsbach family died out). Napoleon then gave the areas of the Palatinate on the right bank of the Rhine to Baden because they supported him in the war against Russia. Therefore, the part of the Palatinate on the right bank of the Rhine belongs today to Baden-Württemberg and the part on the left bank of the Rhine (formerly Bavarian) was merged with the Prussian Rhineland and the parts of Hesse on the right bank of the Rhine to form a new federal state, Rhineland-Palatinate.

[@shorafix972]

Saumagen is a typical dish of the Palatinate region in south-west Germany. It does not include stomach or other offal. Instead, a meat mixture with pieces of meat, potatoes and herbs is filled into a pig's stomach and cooked. Then it is usually cut into slices and fried in a pan. Thus, the pig's stomach is somewhat similar to the Scottish haggis, albeit with a different filling. By the way, you can serve it with either a white wine from the region or a beer. Red wine with Saumagen is rather unusual.

[@TitoTarrantulla]

You Have to visit a "Besen" Wirtschaft which is mostly located in the southwestern Area, 40km far from Heidelberg in the Heilbronner Area !

FYI: the castle of heidelbergis _the_ scholastic example in the studies of cultural heritage preservation, since it is the focal point of a scholarly debate of two schools of thought of how to treat such heritage: restoration vs. conservation -- obviously school conservation under Georg Dehio won here. In sigh view, one has to conserve _all_ of the history of a building, and even destroyed aspects tell a story, like canon or gun shot holes do, so restoring would remove that aspect of the building. in the same way as it removes time, to feel the weight of years something has persisted is a valuable aspect in his eyes and nothing to expell by making the object look like it was built yesterday. furthermore the question, is a building really still the original building if it consists of more modern material than its original one -- in the worst case also built with modern building techniques instead of the ones used back then? this would make the object impure and unauthentic in his eyes (welll if done as such improperly it would undeniably -- but if one studies the object and applies all the knowledge it gives in its raw state, one can restore it without changing anything, so even future generations can by observing deduce this exact knowledge all the same without any wrong implications)

It is true that Heidelberg was one of very few German cities during WWII that was not bombed. The reason for this is very simple: General Eisenhower wanted to set up his HQ in Heidelberg after the conquest of southern Germany and did not want to do this in a destroyed city where the entire infrastructure would first have to be rebuilt. However, this did not happen: Eisenhower remained at his HQ in Paris until the end of the war.

[@dorisschneider-coutandin9965]

Actually, Saumagen has no parts of a pig's stomach in the dish when it's served. It is potatoes, herbs, onions, cabbage, plus some pork meat mixed together and processed by a grinder, then stuffed into a thoroughly cleaned pig's stomach and cooked in there. Before it will be served, the stomach (which is an encasement only) is cut away and the stuffing is cut into slices. It tastes very good, and one can make slight comparisons with Leber- or Fleischkäse, although there are differences, of course.

So it's not by chance, that it was not bombed. Mannheim on the other hand was almost completely destroyed. You should totally have gone to the Vetter just around the corner from where you were. They have great craft beer. What you had was not a regional beer. Still it was fun to see your reaction to my hometown

Saumagen dont need any Sauce! And in Heidelberg you cant get the Original Saumagen. Mustard is a no go….! Check in the palatina please

I was here in 2017 and I loved it. It is so beautiful and the castle was amazing. Yes we walked all through it. The food was delicious.

[@arnolsi]

The best thing is the castle at night with all the secret places and the orange light make a special atmosphere. When I was young there where no gates and we could climb around the tower and everywhere. We read horror stories to each other and when the light turned out at midnight it was a little spooky with all the bats flying around. Now everthing is closed and safed and the bats are gone.

The Saumagen sounds like a low carb version of haggis. Putting it on my list.

You forgot to purchase and try some Neckarkiesel (sweets looking like pebbles from the Neckar). And also, didn't you see the Rittersprung on the balcony? And don't you know the big barrel is empty because Perkeo drank it all?

My family is from waldorf. It is close to heidelberg. The 13 bus took you into heidelberg via heidleberger strasse. Nothing but beautiful memories of heidelburg. At the foot of the hauptstasse, was a wonderful toy store. It had a slide you could slide down from the third floor. We use to visit the dungeon which is off limits now but barbaric items down there. The old bridge was blown up by the nazis as they left for the redoubt. Finally, General Patton died in heidelburg after his car accident. A section of the military base was called Patton baracks. I was in Patton's room where he passed there was a plague. We use to get paddle boats on necker. The goal was not to get hit by the river barges. The world is getting smaller. The heidelberg cement company operated out of Lieman. Now the own all the quarries in wrightstown, bucks county, pa. Great video. Tom o

Loved the Drei times (thumb and two fingers) with the German hand gesture rather than the American (three fingers) 19:43

[@mariecogdill532]

Have been to Heidelberg in November 2019 and 2022. Have to go back this year and try the plum cake! Tho NOT the pig stomach .

[@trevorrouse7662]

Pig stomach has always been used as a sausage casing. Beef stomach is called tripe and completly different

[@toddallen1340]

Also would love it if you did a video there! Thanks guys!!

[@nicrobinson1177]

Maultaschen

[@toddallen1340]

@nicrobinson1177 I've heard of that fairly recently. What is it? I'll definitely try it! Looking forward to lots of Schnitzel and hefeweizen.

[@toddallen1340]

@nicrobinson1177 also, fun fact, after Germany I'll be in Edinburgh Scotland for the festival Fringe. Can't wait for haggis again!!

[@simonefeaster5131]

I love Heidelberg! I was there a while back during Spargelzeit. The creativity around this amazing ingredient was delicious! Took the funicular to the castle and got stuck in a hail storm. Such a great place ❤

[@DonnaCsuti-ji2dd]

My sister lived in Germany the food was great nothing weird just funny names. Pastries were also great

[@Rick2010100]

The Saumagen does not contain pig stomach, it is just the outer hull of the stomach wich is filled with various ingrediens. The ingrediens and recipe also change from town to town. The hull of many sausages is also made of colon, but before processing, they specialy cleaned and processed, at the end they constist only of a clean collagen version.
