Germany is underrated on food. Have travelled extensively in Germany for work and pleasure and have never had a bad meal or drink and always better value than here in the UK. I like your food safari concept 😀
If your reference point is very at the bottom British food (another example of bad quality food) you might say German food is good.
The frikadellen you tried in cologne were actually frikandel, sounds very similar but quite different and only really popular in the parts closer to the dutch border as it originates from there. They're made of chicken and personally I love them.
I share your love of currywurst! I had them multiple times in Munich and Frankfurt. Luckily, back here in Calgary, there's a little stand in the Farmer's Market that sells an amazingly-authentic currywurst, so I don't have to fly back to Germany every time I'm craving one :)
While Scott was displaying his 'bratwurst mit pommes' did anyone else spot what was on the blackboard? Nierengulasch, i.e. kidney goulash. Sounds 'offal' lol.
The dough of Flammkuchen is completly different than pizza, when it´s raw and put in shape you have to be carefull with it because the dough breaks appart very easily, unlike pizza dough. Pizza dough= moist and elastic, Falmmkuchen dough= dry and crumbly.
Scott, as a Dutchman with Scottish roots I can tell you the advertisement of the “Frikadel speciaal” you got is a popular Dutch street food. There are a number of variants, the sauces vary (mayonnaise vs frietsaus and ketchup vs currysaus) and how the onions are served (crispy fried, raw or not).
Döner Kebab is also a popular street food in the Netherlands.
Scott...SCOTT, my friend, I expected schnitzel and strudel and huge grilled sausages...beer...
So good to see you, I miss you digging, but food is my favorite anyway. This is so much fun. Thank you!❤️❤️❤️
When I was stationed in West Germany in the late 70’s early 80’s in the town where we were stationed in had a Greek food outlet and they did gyros. It was pork and it was lovely with chips and some German mustard yummy. They also sold hot frikadallens which was also delicious with the mustard
Currywurst is such a simple idea but it tastes great.
What no... sauerkraut.....are you mad...😛
You have to try german Sushi aka Mettbrötchen. Every Craftsman in Germany lives of that things and Coffee!
That was a Dutch specialty known as a Frikandel-Spezial, a Frikadelle is total´ly different, a kind oif pork risole
Great video, eating local food is half the adventure of travel
Next time grabbing some Flammkuchen take some Federweißer with it. You get that setup only at Fall-Season because Federweißer is what I would call pre-mature white whine and needs to severd fresh from the field. This combimation is very popular at this time of the Year.
Keep up the good work.. Love your channel.. No fuss, say it as it is and exactly how travel vlogs should be..
Hey Scott! Fantastic video! I live in Aachen and I’ve eaten everything you had in the video!! If you visit Aachen you can border hop into Kelmis that’s Belgium and Vaals where we eat Frikhandel that’s what you had in Düsseldorf. Aachen has Printen which is only unique to Aachen, Nobis, Droven and Klein are the best bakeries. My favourite kebab shop in Aachen is Aga located in Franzstraße is a 10/10. Keep up the great videos.
The guy that was freaking out because you were filming...what does he have to hide? Simple pleasures eating a favorite street food and watching trains coming and going.
Yes, Flammkuchen or tarte flambée is great. It's from the South-west of Germany and Alsace in France.
That beer didn't look like a strong one. :D
Sauerkraut rules.
Loved that. But basically you had a kebab, lots of sausage an chips an a pizza 😂😂😂
Since you liked the pretzel, try a buttered pretzel next time, that's a 10/10 🥰
Oh you've got me drooling with this one mate!
Great video , koln and Hamburg are my 2 favourite places for street food , unlike the Edinburgh Christmas market where they get all there authentic German sausage from Lidl 😂
A dutch frikandel is a sausage like Shape meat, not from pork, but cow meat. Special comes with mayo, ketchup and raw unions.
Hi Scott you must let us in with the prices especially the beer lol thanks for the video John 😊
I'm not a fan of sauerkraut either (Bavarian Kraut and Rotkraut are), but it has saved the lives of thousands of sailors (especially British sailors). Vitamin C against scurvy
Thanks for showing and explaining what a doner kebab is! It's in all my online German lessons and I had no idea why! We had a terrible time with wasps this summer in both France and Switzerland.
You were in Cologne, where the number one traditional street food would be a Mettbrötchen with onions.
Zwiebeln=onions and we pronounce the i like you prounounce the e and the e like you the e in level (only valid, if you are not from NZ ;-) ).
So it sounds more like tsweeblen.
What you got was not "Frikadelle" but "Frikandel", a staple of Dutch fast food. The Dutch border is only 25 miles away from the center of Düsseldorf...
just what I was about to say...!
Thank you very much, Scott, for your Videos. They are always very entertaining and enlightening. By the way, you can improve on the Bretzel by cutting it lengthwise, spreading butter on it and sprinkling it with chives. Delicious. You can get it in some railway station bakeries for approximately 1.70 Euros.
Always good food options at the bigger German train stations. Very convenient.
Love your video 👍👍
You always have interesting videos out. The amount of work you put into it! I normally feel awkward filming in public. You done good!
Doner Kebab can be considered both turkish and German as it was invented by a Turkish immigrant in West Berlin in 1974. Berlin is also the best place for currywurst
Absolut agree.
Ummm no. We have it everywhere in Australia and it didn’t come from Germany. We have both Greek and Turkish styles. It’s not really a German street food if it’s elsewhere.
That made my mouth watering :)) Definitely my favourites too. Although, Bratwurst & Currywurst is about the same. So, a Schnitzel wouldve been in my list as well.
Looking forward to your polish food safari.
Enjoyed
nice video again, over there looks very good, nice and clean, affluent.
Great video Scott. Some of that food looked really delicious. Thank you.
Great useful video. Made me hungry 👍👍🏴
Scott another great video. Many thanks.
Great food video hope u have more videos like this
Thanks Scot, enjoyed that..... food for thought
Been to Germany myself Scott and have to agree some of the food you had brings back sweet memories of yumminess.
The Donna looked delicious 😋
Döner👍
Really enjoying your street food safari. I have now seen the ones from Germany, Romania and Poland.
My favourite German railway station food is the pepperoni pizza from Ditsch.
If you can eat anything pickled you can eat sauerkraut . It’s only pickled cabbage
From Satan's kitchen :)
Agree. With the right mean it’s fine. I couldn’t eat a plate of it and nothing else though
@@xr6lad Why would anyone have a plate of sauerkraut? It's supposed to be an accompaniment (side, for Americans).
@@exile220ify Alsatians (France) eat the most sauerkraut.😂
@@arnodobler1096 And I should care that Alsatians eat the mos sauerkraut.... why, exactly?
The only place I was able to get fried mars bar was up in fort William right at the seat for finishing west highland way with metal man on it was chip shop just up from the sea front
The giant snouser looks great lol
I love the safari 'big five' theme and love your videos - just the right length, zero pretentiousness and plenty of variation. By the way my Dutch wife would be adamant that Frikandellen (with an N) are very much a Dutch street food.
Somewhere up there should also be "Spaghettieis" ice cream put through an extruder to look like spaghetti. Very popular in Italian ice cream stores, which, a bit like Doner kebab houses seem to be more common in Germany than in their home country. Don't really go for the Spaghettieis, but there are usually dozens of other options.
Spaghetti ice was invented in Mannheim Germany by a Italian
Hi Scott ✌🏻!
Zwiebeln is correctly pronounced like Tsveeblen (just as in feeble with an n at the end)😘!
Indeed, while the German Z is pronounced like the ts from "cats" so: "ts-vee-bell-n"
We pronounce the E in Pommes other than the French where the word came from. So we say "pommaz" something like that, instead of pomm.
I miss my currywurst - having to fix it now at home, but tastes so much better when bought from a food cart.
Strange. If you filmed a food seller in Taiwan the cook would laugh and give a big smile for the camera. I'm not sure what that means about the friendliness of countries.
Uncomplicated but tasty would be a good general description for much of German cuisine.
Did you know Volkswagen make currywurst as well as cars!
Maybe the one they make in Glasgow is with Brown Sauce
The pizzas in Germany are delicious 😋
I can confirm that a frikandel is actually a sausage shaped deep fried pork snack in the Netherlands. "Special" means topped with mayo, currysauce or ketchup and chopped raw onion. Its a... well, probably best eaten after a few consumptions containing alcohol. 😀
Te food search was a good idea--and useful for those of us who are planning a trip to Germany. ets, please do the same in Poland, if you have the time. Thank you again.
In Holland its Frikkandeln , long sausage , Nothing to do with frikkadele
Sooner have German beer 🍺
Schneider Weiss
Oh boy, that guy selling currywurst taking himself so serious.
1 & 5 looked good. Would be nice if you could tell us how much things cost. Enjoyed the vid though.
Kebab: 5,50€ - 7€
Brezel: 2€ - 3€ (not sure tho)
Bratwurst/Currywurst with fries: anything from 6€ up to 10€
Side note: please don't go to shops at the main station, they are all crap. There are many nice shops for Kebab or Currywurst elsewhere.
Dutch frikadellen are sausages and often horse meat
That takeaway currywurst worker was certainly concerned about you filming 🤣
Illegal immigrants!
Thats common in Germany.. people there are very keen on their privacy etc..
I found an online UK retailer selling German Currywurst sauce. Put with the Bratwursts from Lidl is very nice...... But not as good as they sell it in Germany!
Try home bargains as they have hela curry ketchup
Can you do the Scottish Version with those deep fried chocolate bars etc?
What do you mean "the Scottish version"? Scotland invented the deep fried Mars Bar. Anything else is a knockoff.
Frikadellen is not a Dutch speciality, but Flemish. If you buy a Frikadellen in Holland, you will get a patty, in Belgium you will get a sausage.
You mean Frikandel
Frikadelle is German
@@arnodobler1096 In Belgium it's called frikadel.
No snitzel, no schwarswalder kirch torte???
Any deep fryed kinder bueno?
Does the Glasgow Fried Mars Bar have the edge in the European Street Food battle? 🤔
Frikandel is Dutch, most of the time it's not specifically pork meat but meat leftovers from all kinds of animals. In Holland we eat it in a different way than shown on the video.
right
Frikadellen (Fleischpflanzerl in Bavaria) in Germany since the 17th Century
The Currywurst museum in Berlin is now closed for good.
When I lived in Germany, I lived off 'Leberkäse mit Kartoffelsalat' in the warm weather, and 'Ungarische Gulaschsuppe' in the colder weather. Currywurst must be the worst thing ever to happen to German food.
Döner Kebap and Currywurst both Top German Street Foods in Germany yummie
If you make it to Hamburg i invite you to Cocktails in my Bar!
Die Mai-Bar?
Can't believe you never had a Pork knuckle with mashed potatoes and onion gravy.
looks like you don´t answer/comment to the comments underneath your videos, which seems like a bit dissapointing to me. but nevertheless-a thumbs up for this video!
how much indigestion ??
Not sure I’d call kebab(doner or otherwise) street food specific to Germany. We have it everywhere here in Australia. Be it Turkish style or Greek style. In fact I had one for lunch on Wednesday. I would have thought It common enough in Britain
The ones in the UK are very different and they taste nowhere near like what they have in Germany.
The German ones are served with homemade sauces including cacik (yogurt/mint) and a hot sauce, lettuce, tomato, carrots, red cabbage, and the meat is beef or chicken with bits of vegetable on the skewer with the meat. All of this is served inside the bread and the shops smell delicious as soon as you walk in. This style of Döner was invented by Turks in Berlin in the 70s.
The UK ones are lamb or chicken in a polystyrene container. The salad is lettuce with a slice of tomato and a slice of cucumber in a separate polystyrene container. The sauces are garlic mayo and a hot sauce that come in their own pots. If you're lucky, they might give you a slice of pitta but you have to take it somewhere and assemble it all yourself.
In the UK, Kebab doesn't have the reputation of smelling good as soon as you enter the shop. It's mostly considered afterpub food for people who are too drunk to taste what they're eating. In Germany, it's normal to have a döner for lunch.
In Germany, Döner Kebab became street food. Through Turkish immigrants in Berlin. In Turkey, it is eaten more on the plate with side dishes. My favorite is Yufka, also called Dürüm, kebap rolled in thin patties (pide).
I gotta say, that Flammkuchen didn't even look that nice, but they always taste great. There's supoosed to be a nice, thick layer of peppered cream on the dough, which should at most contain minimal amounts of yeast (and thus not be as bubbly as the one you tried). And the onions ought to be fresh and thinly sliced. They're really easy to make at home, all you need is salt, pepper, flour, water, oil, onions, bacon and regular as well as sour cream. Do give it a try, they'll be gone faster than you can make them!
8:36 It appears the winemaker Emil Bauer & Söhne is inventive with labels but the menu couldn't list everything on one due to a lack of space.
They seem to have fries with everything in Germany
Yep, especially in Friesland (Northern Germany)!
I like your Video, but you mixed up something. What you got was Frikandel. That is from the Netherlands. Frikadelle is something completly different. Youd should try again next time.
Don't be upset about this filming thing, Germans just love their privacy.
At least he should now that he can’t film/snapshot a person without consent - by law!
Keyword: "Recht am eigenen Bild"
A Scotsman drinking a non-alcoholic beer.
Now I've seen everything
The Frikadellen in Cologne were Frikandellen that is something actually Dutch... So that is why you didn't recognize those
Hi Scott,
I really enjoyed your video about your experiences in Germany. However, I noticed during your interaction with the currywurst seller that he seemed clearly unhappy about being filmed. As the business and his full face are visible (for example, at 6:52), he is potentially identifiable. According to German privacy laws, such as the 'Recht am eigenen Bild', individuals should give their consent when they are clearly identifiable. Perhaps you could revisit the editing of this segment to ensure it aligns with privacy expectations. Anyway, I really enjoy your content and this comment is intended to be positive and helpful.
Best regards,
Andrew
I am late, but you maybe ate a Frikandel, not a Frikadelle.
there are only 3 cities where you can get real Currywurst: Berlin, Bochum and Hamburg
Rindscurry-Hauptstadt? Frankfurt/Main. Setzen. Sechs.
My favourits german dishes are schwein haxe (pig on the bone) andf weiss wurst not a fan of curry
you had a FrikaNdel, not a Frikadel. Dutch vs German, and a German interpretation of a dutch dish. If you every want to do a dutch streetfood safari I gladly help you find the best. Even if I have to pay for it.
Did one of the guys have a go at you for videoing him ? Couldn’t quite make out what he was saying. Enjoyed that tho.
We love our privacy!
@@arnodobler1096 It's very different there, British people won't know unless they are told.
I'm certain one of these "don't do this in Germany" videos would warn visitors.
Tell me you didn't eat a kebab sober!
I would like to have the confidence to try food from the smaller street venues but as you mentioned with the wasps it can be difficult to be certain of cleanliness and so on. Tht's why we have the hygiene ratings in England at least but even then.
Fair comment, but this summer you would have found wasps on all foods sold without plastic packaging, which is a whole other environmental story of course....
The wasps thing has nothing to do with hygiene, unlike flies, wasps are into sugar.
I think that the Germans are more sensitive to being video taped, since they now have strong privacy laws that they adopted since after the fall of the third Reich. This vendor, however, should realize that he is catering to people from around the world and if he is constantly fussing and paranoid about having a camera around him, then maybe he should be in another line of job that does not see him dealing directly with the general public. He is just being a jerk. The Dutch are far more tolerant, open and not as paranoid in this respect, I feel.
Well, the last Mafia boss that went hidden in Germany ("Italian Mafia's Backyard") was a pizza backer. Guess if he would have been happy to get filmed!
Love your videos but youre wrong, the donner kebab was invented in Berlin not Turkey....
Ummm no. We have it everywhere here in Australia and it didn’t come from Germany. We have lots of Greek and Turkish populations and their cafes. It’s common enough I had it for lunch Wednesday. I think you’ll find your trying to claim something that isn’t German.
Unfortunate you didn’t go to Munich, you could have had 5 real German snacks ( food )
Bavaria isn’t Germany. It was invented by Walt Disney to let you believe we’re drunken weirdos.
