Paprika flavor is the tradtional one for chips etc. in Germany. Originally the paprika powder for it came from Hungary, where they started cultivating peppers centuries ago, while those vegetables were widely unknown in most of Germany (mostly due to climatic conditions) until about 100 years ago. Transporting fresh bell peppers from Hungary to Germany was difficult in the time before mobile refrigeration was invented, so they dried the peppers and grinded them in a powder (producing both a sweeter and a hotter variety) and exported it as a spice.

The vegan convenience food abundance here in Germany is sooo huge. I went from trying all the stuff and getting fatter and poorer to less unprocessed plant-based food again. But no shame in giving it all a go and it def helps people in vegetarian-vegan transistion phases. And as long as it helps the animals, fair play! 👍

[@checkanr138]

it is basically only food that is heavily processed with lots of salt. a good option so you can switch easier from meat to meatless, but if you really want to eat healthy you should just eat your vegetables and prepare them yourself. way healthier and also cheaper than the processed foods. the main problem is, that most people do not know how to cook food so it tastes good.

I think you will have an easy time, especially if you are in a big city. We were in a small town and still able to find such great food at the grocery stores!

[@piano_and_bouldering]

Vegan grocery shopping is really easy in Germany 😊

[@beategeibel66]

In the big cities there are plenty of vegan restaurants, products or even completely vegan supermarkets. In smaller towns its a bit more difficult reg vegan restaurants, but Lidl, Aldi and Rewe are everywhere. I live in Berlin which is considered europes capital for vegan food. Rewe just opened a cegan only supermarket there, its the first of its kind for Rewe thoughout Germany. There are also lots of Bio Markets (in the big cities), like organic markets that have big vegan sections. So you should be fine. In hotels depending what chain, it might be a bit more difficult to find many vegan options.

[@inkenhafner7187]

If you cook your own food you'll be fine here in Germany. As others already said: eating out can be easy or difficult, depending on where you are going to live. I live near Hamburg and there you have no problem with finding vegan food, in our small city just a few miles away that's a completely different story. In general you'll have it easier the more urban you live.

[@maireweber]

No matter where you live, there is always a great value farmers market in some old town square nearby every Saturday, sometimes on other days as well. Americans are always stunned about the quality of local European produce. You'll get so much more taste and natural aroma just from the fruit and veg itself, I'm sure you'll find a lot of options changing with the seasons!

[@lttlod1]

Pro tip, don't boil gnocchi just pan fry with some olive oil. That way it doesn't get all mushy, it is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside : ) Also, I love Lidl! My brother has it where he lives and I go every time I visit. They have pastries that are sooo good.

[@Larry_Kush]

I know this area quite well and it's actually difficult to find a vegan restaurant there. The rural area is rather conservative and the people who live there tend to eat traditional dishes. But things are better in German cities in this respect. In Berlin, there is a vegan restaurant on every corner. By the way, the siren you heard is for the voluntary fire department (in german "freiwillige Feuerwehr"). If there is an accident or a fire, all the firefighters are informed by the siren and rush to the fire station.

Welcome to Germany, it was really nice to having you here :) Finding restaurants who offer vegan meals really depends on where you are.

[@theresabu3000]

Yeah - Aldi is divided in Germany in North and South. For authentic baked goods - definitely try to find a non chain bakery not in a supermarket. REWE or other bigger stores (Kaufland) are good to get almost everything you want - the discount stores might only offer a limited amount of options. Vegan Restaurants are not really popular or widespread - similar with those trying to source from regional farmers. Covid threw a wrench also, but maybe something for the future.

Sirens are usually fire station checks

[@Simnettnutrition]

Okay good to know! It scared us lol

[@JR44444]

Either that or the local volunteer firefighters were called for an emergency or a practice drill. Often you'll have these sirens go off on a specific time of the week, like Sunday 12 o'clock.

[@1103beka]

Sirens are often being tested at a specific time, just to see if they still work in case of emergency. Where I live, they go off every first Saturday of a month at noon. They used to check them once a month when I was a kid, then stopped because it wasn't seen as necessary anymore. They started again a few years back when more war zones emerged (e.g. Afghanistan, Ukraine) - to make sure they still work in case things escalate. But they are also used for fire station checks and the like.

[@althelas]

@@Simnettnutrition sirens usually get tested on the first saturday of the month at 11am. If it was outside that time, it was a call to action for the local volunteer fire fighters. You always know what a siren means if you know the pattern. One minute constant soundwith two short breaks = firealarm; one minute with the sound constantly going up and down = (in peace time) desaster alarm (in case of flooding or some chemical accident in a plant nearby), during a war = warning of an impending air raid; one minute of the sound going up and down with two breaks and repeated after a 30 second break (only in war times) = ABC alarm; and lastly one minute of constant sound (war times only)= danger is over for now. I'm old enough to have learned those codes in school during the cold war and with my dad being a volunteer fire fighter I was often with him when he had been tasked with starting the sirens for testing.

The paprika flavour thing comes from the time they started rolling out chips flavours back way in the 1950's. Paprika was actually the flavour considered for Hungary. Now Hungary is not that far away from Germany and so Germans got into contact with those chips very easily and they loved the flavour so much it became the German staple.

As a Swabian (resident of southern Germany), where Maultaschen ("The German dumplings") originally come from, it was very interesting to see how you prepare them. 😀 Traditionally they are either - served in broth - or sliced and fried with egg (then of course no longer vegan) - or fried whole and topped with melted onions The last two always go very well with a green/mixed salad. Loved how much you enjoyed your trip! ❤

[@julialambert7013]

In broth with Kartoffelsalat (potatoe salad with Vinegar-Oil-Dressing not the Mayo-one) 🙂 I often slice the Maultaschen and fry them in vegan Butter or oil. Then set aside and fry some veggies. Mostly onions and mushrooms, then add some halved cherry tomatoes, a little paprika powder, some cracked black pepper and broth powder. Deglace the pan with some white wine To finish i use a nice amount of vegan creamchees, vegan cream or vegan creme fraiche (Creme Vega). Mix with the Maultaschen and enjoy 🙂

There's a restaurant in Nürnberg that serves classical dishes with vegan options called Speisegaststätte Kniedlas Hueddn. Totally recommend it

[@brandothecatmeow]

Wait?! Vegan Cevapcici?! No freaking way! I grew up eating the meat version. I need to get me some of the vegan kind. My mind is blown 🤯

[@Simnettnutrition]

THEY WERE SO GOOD! One of the best things we tried, Crystal loved them.

We were in Munich a year ago and the vegan food was incredible! The groceries were so inexpensive and we loved the packaging with the V on it. So easy to shop. One of our best trips.

🥨 German southerner here, a Brezel / pretzel all by itself should never ever be WARM?! 😂 Paprika as a spice is in ALL THE THINGS, maybe because bell peppers are close to import? The over use made me allergic to the fruit, not the spice, ironically… 😂 Döner is our Kebap originating from Turkey ❤ love those chunks. Billie Green is relatively new and amazing! 😻 Aldi and Lidl are killing it at the vegan stuff, affordable prices and both are discount supermarket that’s why your shop was cheap, too. (Rewe and Edeka are German franchise chains and they are much more expensive, they have their own discounters called penny and nahkauf which are cheaper.) Nürburgring is famous in my book for Rock am Ring (Festival, saw KORN there). 🎉 this was awesome to watch! Have been following you for years! 🫑 😅

Loved this video - my Daddy was a rally drivers many years ago. I grew up going to all sorts of car racing. Our whole family used to work in the Motor industry about 20 years ago. It was great that you shared the footage of the inside of the wee church. God bless you both always, Rachel

Diese veganen Alternativen haben mir damals sehr bei der Umstellung meiner Ernährung geholfen. Mittlerweile essen wir solche Produkte schon lange nicht mehr. Aber für Umsteiger sind sie wirklich super. Oder für Allesesser, die dem veganen Besuch eine Freude machen möchten, aber selbst von veganem Kochen/Essen nicht so viel Ahnung haben. 😊

Watching from Austria! Best regards 🌱💚

[@unlockyoursoulmemory4199]

just in case, if you plan to visit Switzerland.... let us know, happy to give you some wonderful tips what is the most delish food there

[@janetatuniquerawfoods2361]

Oh… oh… oh…finding new things in the markets . Classic. I couldn’t believe you opened that box to see if the contents were cut up💥 You so rocked with this video. What a great new experience and natural surroundings. Thank you for taking us to the castle.

[@li82li]

may be you did, i don't know if i missed it, but next time you go to germany let us (living here) know, so that we can share our favourite vegan foods=)

[@Simnettnutrition]

We bought lots of veggies as you can see in our meals, but wanted to try the fun "junk" foods because we don't get them here! It's fun to try new things, the produce did look really fresh and delicious.

[@li82li]

@@Simnettnutrition yeah, there's a lot of vegan junk food in supermarkets and some of them taste questionably :D so i just wanted wo say that your german viewers will gladly share best tasting =)

[@ogkendrick6392]

you two are sooo positive and i enjoyed your video very much....this video got me very hungry tho ^^

[@stillmangal]

Faaaaak 😂 seeing you getting so excited about my regular everyday supermarket, made me think. Am u being ungrateful? Is social media that makes me compare our stuff to the stuff in the uk and us.

[@Simnettnutrition]

haha you are definitely lucky!

[@cagedgreed]

Great show! I love the sound of the cars shifting, I can feel the weather and the bugs, and you two are beautiful! So many awesome food choices! Great health to you!

[@seldakaya0414]

I always love how a comment section is being hijacked by Germans the moment there’s content about Germany. 😅

[@fjellyo3261]

That's the case for a lot of countries. Turkey for example.

[@seldakaya0414]

@@fjellyo3261, I don’t really know about that, I never get content about Turkey into my thread. So I can only speak about the country I live in.

[@janusklaplong2709]

I’m from The Netherlands and i buy all of my groceries is Germany. The Vegan products are WAY better in Germany than the Netherlands! We do have Lidl and Aldi stores! It’s so funny to see you guys nearby! Hope you had a great time!

[@bonitastinson9479]

I loved this blog on your trip to Germany. It really looked pretty over there and I'm gonna put that on my bucket list. And I loved the food you ate and how you made all the meals was awesome.

[@MrAchsas]

19:15 yeah those vegab ribs are amazing Tastes really good
