Fun fact: I, in elementary school, had the exact opposite problem. I honestly thought we had to say "Tschüss" when getting photographed and honestly always was confused why we had to say "Tschüss" before they even took the photos as opposed to when everyone's done, but still nobody even seemed to want to go home.. 🤦🏼♂️😁
Yes they're like brother but individuals and there for don't like it to be mistaken for each other. Just how real brother would feel if someone mistakes him for the other
Ryan confusing Tschüß with cheese reminds me of a Scottish friend of the family who was invited to my Great-Grandmas 100th birthday. Most of the old people there couldn't speak any English, and he doesn't speak any German, but they absolutely adored him. So when the birthday ended they all went to say farewell to him with "Tschüß" to which he responded with "Cheers" with a slightly confused "raising your glass hand motion" until we explained what it really means
The scarf works depending on what the sore throat stems from. The same is true for bellyache. The warming supposed to help the body with fighting the infection. And it's cozy, of course 😃
It's less the Germans having beef with Austrians, but the other way around. We Austrians often complain about Germans and like to think we have some kind of a rivalry going, but that's mostly one-sided on our end.
As far as I know, I can confirm that! Most germans like austria and the austrians. Except for that one little guy 90 years ago that completely messed up everything...😅
German, can confirm. No hard feelings. Swiss and austrian ppl somehow desire to to distance themselves from the germans. Not that someone gets the idea they're just some more germans with funny dialect😁
@@ralfjansen9118 you mean the translation of "achso?" it's literally "ah~ so (it is)!", basically "ah, I see." I don't speak French, so I don't know if that translation sounds any legit or not
The Bratkartoffeln recipe was really weird to me. I mean she used all the right ingredients as far as I know, but you don't have to spread the potatoes out and flip them while frying. I know Bratkartoffeln as frying onions and bacon and then chucking your leftover portatoes in the pan (usually way more than 4 big potatoes). So its not wrong, its just weird to watch it being made with so much effort
Methinks its a bit like people making egg fried rice form scratch for videos on the internet. It is not wrong but it feels wrong. Bratkartoffeln (/ Restepfanne) and egg fried rice are dishes to use up leftovers.
My mother apparently makes them from raw potatoes and in the same exact way as in the video. I usually make them from raw potatoes myself, but turn them over repeatedly in the process. I used to dislike onions mixed under the potatoes (I used to put them on the plate separately, maybe as a pile on top of the potatoes), but recently I noticed that I do like them now mixed with the potatoes. I really doubt that there is a right or wrong way to make them. It's probably a question of how people had made them in their childhood and/or how they learned to make them the best way when they started to cook themselves. There are probably several ways.
@@stef987 yes, that's what I also thought while writing this comment. I often hear people get angry that a recipe of the internet is not their version of the dish they like, and I didn't want my comment to sound that way. It's just ironic to see a dish I know as something thrown together (from leftovers) being cooked in such a "fancy" way (I mean it's not really fancy, just made with more effort than how I know it)
@@Zach2003 ah, I understand and you're right. Actually while I was typing, I thought about how it's "traditionally" probably a dish made of leftovers and as that of course the potatoes would be boiled in most cases and everything just kind of tossed together.😅 Well, I guess it's one of these dishes people started to love so much that they don't necessarily use leftovers anymore. But I know what you mean, it really is a bit ironic to make it in a relatively fancy fashion.
@@vsmash2The concept of having potatoes or rice left over is so foreign to me though. I live alone and always measure exactly the amount that I need and then eat it all.
I am German and if I've got a sore throat I immediately put a scarf around my neck, also at night. I also put some cotton wool in my ears in order to keep the throat and the head warm. If it stays warm, the throat doesn't dry out. If it dries out, the surface can finely tear and crack and any bacteria or pathogens can enter into the body much more easily! So for me, it helps me a lot and it doesn't harm the body! 👍
The scarf trick is still funny. I remember when i was in the uk and the old host granny laughed. She said that is such a typical german thing even in summer. When we came with a scarf it meant we are sick.
I think, it's really toxic to blame any whole population for this one person. Like: Just because Hitler was born in Austria, that doesn't say anything about any Austrian nowadays. So there is actually more to be said. Fair point, you can maybe blame someone from that time for having followed the Nazi Ideology. But these were our ancestors, not us. So there is no need to establish a system of inherited guilt. I truely believe that you meant that comment in an ironic way. Not in a serious way. But I doubt that everybody gets that, especially, when they want to learn about german and austrian heritage and how ot is treated.
@BottleTrash yeah, he staged a whole coup which should have seen him either executed or deported, but instead he spent a short time in a luxurious prison qnd then had the platform to become as powerful as he did because some guy wanted to see him fail 😐
Let's not forget that Austria was an integral Part of Germany until the 1860s, the last German emperors of the Ancien Regime (HRE) until 1806 were Austrians and resided in Vienna, the Insignia are still displayed there. So the Nazi parole "Heim ins Reich" (back home into the empire) had a real meaning, when re-unifying 1938.
@@BottleTrashBro don't sprak about these things if you don't have a Clue. Let's just say, Austria bekamen part of the Reich without a single german bullet shot.
It's not cheese, but tschüss, which is derivated from Walloon "adjuus" which either derivated from French "adieu" or "à dieu" or from Spanish "adiós". Other derivates with same meaning are adjüs, adjes, tjüs. Those variations are mostly used in the northern and western regions, while southern Germans prefer the older "ade", derivated from the Northern French variation "adé". And Bavarians say "Pfüat di", abbreviating the phrase "Behüt dich Gott" (Be guarded by god), which has similar origins in Christianity.

Pro Tip: For the fried potatos use the already boiled left overs from the day before. Even if you normally don´t make potatos boil them one day in advance and let them sit!
a little quote of Franz Grillparzer, austrian poet of the 19th Century: "Germans want to understand the austrians but they can't. Austrians could understand the Germans but they don't want to."
Habsburger dynasty started WW1 when they declared war on Serbia... So the Entente (France, UK, Russia) declared war on Österreich -Ungarn., because of a treaty with Serbia.... And Germany had to join, because Wilhelm II. gave a blank ticket to Austria... It all started of course with the assassination of Sarajevo on Austrian heir of the throne by a serbian nationalist...
I really thought it's common sense and because of that an universal trick, that you keep your neck warm when your throat is sore. That's also the reason we drink hot tea when having a sore throat.
The raw onions, garlic, and scarf is accurate. 😂 I had to laugh because I realized that now I always tell my kids to make sure they drink more if they have a headache. I swear by Ibu though. (Ibuorofen = Advil/Motrin)
I feel attcked by that first one. Hits waaaay too close to home. I can't stop laughing. Also Bratkartoffeln are the single best thing you can make with leftover potatoes. We love our potatoes. 🥔
For the Bratkartoffeln: Nygella Lawson isn't the best reference from what I have heard👀😅😂 and 1cm thick potato sliceses are way to thick. You wanna have some slightly thicker and some thinner, but more towards 0,5cm so the get "knusprig" (I believe crunchy, but only the edges😅🤷🏽♂️) It's not super hard, you can use the rest of her recipe, if you make thinner potato slices. My grandma used always a little bit to much oil - but tossed the Bratkartoffeln on a paper towel bevor serving them on a plate, so they wouldn't be soaking from oil, but almost be deep fried on some corners 👌🙏🏼😊
@@LJMahomes This in a delicate area of discussion - best results are from left over potatoes from the day before, not unlike how you would do it with rice for fried rice.
Das ist doch alles Geschmackssache. Ich nehme gern rohe Kartoffeln. Das Rezept im Video sieht für mich völlig ok aus, ist halt eine Variante von so einigen.
We have these fly traps here, too. But I'm too disgusted by them to use them myself.😨 Maybe if it only catches fruit flies it would be more acceptable for me, but we have all kinds of "normal" flies here in several sizes (countryside). I'd thought an Austrian would be much more bothered to be confused with a German, than the other way around. But I don't know.🤔 The scarf is supposed to keep your throat warm, as far as I know. I love Bratkartoffeln, but I usually make them out of raw/uncooked potatoes and like to eat them with fish. But Bratwurst is also great. Bacon is optional for me, but really adds to the taste. What I need though is a fried egg on the top, with the yolk still runny. It's funny how this is a very classical "old people's food" as well as a total soul/comfort food I can really enjoy as someone who isn't that old yet. I absolutely recommend you to try that recipe from the video yourself!
The Austria-German dispute is something among 50+ people. I remember german comedians trashing austrians when I was a child. Today its more of a practical joke to hate eachother then anything else
I misread the fresh fried eggs as french fries and thought that that's a quite interesting version of the dish.😅 But the eggs I absolutely recommend, too.🙂 I personally love them with the yolk still runny.
Hi i am from austria and we are not the same hahahaha just the beyerns hahaha O and hitler didnt got big in austria so he tryed it in Germany…… Best from Austria
About the first one: our voice gets really high pitched sometimes when we talk to people we know. I’ve never really noticed that it’s a German phenomenon 😂
Austrians don't like German "Piefkes" which is their term for German tourists from the more northern regions (which they often perceive as somewhat snotty), while Bavarians call those people "Saupreissn" (which means lit. sow Prussians - sow used here like bitch in English). The enmity between Prussians and Austrians goes back to the War of the Austrian Succession (which Prussia lost in the end, but still won Silesia. Some historians count it as the first World War, since France, Sweden and Naples sided with Spain, Prussia, Bavaria and Saxony, while the UK, Russia and the United Netherlands sided with House Habsburg-Lorraine), but it became hot with the German War of 1866, as Prussia allied with Italy to attack the Austrian-led German Federation. Also some Germans tend to be a bit snotty about the small "Alps republic" and it's allegedly hillbilly inhabitants. 8:35 If she would have only some eggs scrambled in it, it would have been the classic "farmer's breakfast".
I get today an order of flytraps cause of 1 !!!! nerve killing fly, so, yes we know them too ;) If possible: Watch a video of my birthplace; Kassel. Its got a famous Park which is World Heritage: The Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe.
The secret ingredient for good Bratkartoffeln is time! Do not overfill the Pan and do not use too much heat. Let them get crispy in peace from both sides, if you interfere too much they fall apart.
we kinda jokingly kinda seriously dont wanna get confused with austrians, because their accent is weird to us and we are football rivals and also because hitler was from austria, so basically austria started ww2 ^^
:P you could also say - austria didn´t want hitler around so he moved to germany but nobody could imagin that germany would made him to their chancellor ^^
Cruises (Kreuzfahrten) are rather popular in Germany. We have two large cruise lines: Aida, which have the reputation to be party boats for younger audience and "mein Schiff" which is a bit more family and elder friendly (also more expensive).
Austria an germany is like USA and canada.. canadians dont like it when people assume the US and Canada are the same.. same with germany and austria.. similar, but different
Not really. Austria and (non-Bavarian) Germany have more differences in regards to history, geography, culture, religion and language than the US Americans and Canadians have.
2:28 Many people say Austria and Germany ist "very similar" in both countries is the language German. And in the History we was more than one time one countrie. Greetings from Austria 🇦🇹 P.s I think we are different
Coming from the north of Germany I like the somewhat morbid charme of Vienna. I'm always thinking about the fact, that the German Empire was longer ruled from Vienna than from Berlin. The Habsburgs did that mostly well until they didn't. That's why we stole melody of the old imperial hymn . ;-) Of course Austria is different, but so are Westfalia and Saxony.
1:09 this is true though (for some germans atleast). If I relax my facial muscles and just look around neutrally, people always think I’m glaring at them.
I dont know why but its true ... serious looking germans ! Liam gets 'famous' 😂 because of his : in germany we dont say! videos/reels/tiktoks ! Bratkartoffeln are amazing love it 😍 its this childhood thing you know ?! My grandma's bratkartoffeln with sausage would die too get this one more time 😁 Ruhe in Frieden Oma
6:22 it keep the throat warm and should speed up the healing process, while u watch tv, drinking tea and doing a Kamillendamfbad(Camomile tea steam bath) every hour. but only in the worst case, if u cant handle well the sickness with a tea.

yes... I've seen these fly traps in germany and austria. be careful ... if they get really warm, they start dripping that sticky, nasty glue substance 🤣
@@AriaEmily i don't own them at all (currently) ... But I've seen them drip. And they were the standard ones bought in a store in austria. Maybe it's only if they are really cold beforehand 🤔 it was in the winter in the countryside of austria (snow outside) and we fired up a wood stove, after it got warm, it took a while and it started dripping it's sticky substance ... Or maybe humidity played also a factor, we were drying our jackets next to the stove. Who knows ... but they can and will drip under certian circumstances.
We have the same fly traps in Germany. 😂 And "cheese" means Tschüss - Bye. Your "ah Soo" was on point! I just found you yesterday and I watched so many videos! Your amazing keep going!
I think the „conflict“ between Austria and Germany is like the conflict between siblings. We use to make jokes about each other, but if someone else would attack one of us the other one would help. We have a very long complicated history together. Austria as a country is much older then Germany. Parts of Germany and even Russia belonged to Austria. And Germany invaded Austria in then second world war. On the other site; the first world war startet when a serbien nationalist killed the Austrian heir of the throne and his wife. Germany declared war on serbia and russia to help Austria on there revenge.
OMG kinda of 50 years ago here in Italy a lot of fish vendor used this sticky tape, many apllied this tape on the four wings of a fan. but was so disgusting to see all creepy fly and mosquito and bug captured, nobody used anymore. However, in the city insects are very few while in the countryside you usually get used to them. There are a thousand systems on sale such as electrified screens with blue neon behind them, or small ultrasound emitters that work attached directly to the sockets, or even insect deterrent perfume dispensers. Almost all of these are somewhat effective but not too much. Some natural remedies such as citronella candles or coils are more effective but they are inconvenient because you have to light them and place them, they stay on for a while then you also have to clean them, they are usually used sporadically like in the evening if you want to dine in the garden. The remedies that I find most effective in my opinion are very natural, such as planting pyrethrum plants in the ground or in pots near the windows.
TH-cam suggested this video and I really appreciate the raw, genuine reaction. No fake, overly dramatic and excagerated content. Daumen hoch! (Thumbs up) 👍
am i to german if i got anoyed by the lady saying she is going to make bratkartoffeln and then procedes to make röstkartoffeln? ...and im not even german. im from better germany commonly known as austria but it still anoyed me.
A scarf, onions and potatoes are typical cheap aids for me, against mild cold symptoms. The scarf warms and protects against further draughts. In addition, the warmth can relieve some of the pain. Onion juice (chop the onion, put sugar on it. Let it steep a little so that the juice comes out, then take a teaspoon of the juice) helps against sore throats. Since onions contain essential oils that act against bacteria and germs, it is a good remedy for a cold. You only smell a bit strong maybe. ;) And hot potatoes wrapped in a cloth are the best hot water bottle of all.
For Bratkartoffeln.... Fry the potatoes WITH the bacon and onions, so you got the whole flavour of them into the potatoes. Why did she fry them seperatly anyway 🤨 some don't even precook the potatoes
1. It is "Tschüss" not "Cheese" 2. We should call it RGF, Resting German Face 3. Regardless if "Bratkartoffeln" or any other dish with potatoes, I would eat each of them, if Poppy O'Toole made them.
Do we have been with Austria? Actually... despite them causing 2 world wars and blaming both of them on Germany (and everyone accepts it as a fact) we actually don't. But Austrians have a problem with Germans and can't help but point it out every occasion they get xD Germany "nothings" Austria.
I'd say Germany and Austria have a very sibling-like relationship. We like to tease each other but when anyone else does we're very protective of each other. At least that's what I like to think as an Austrian who's half German.
You can also use raw potatoes for Bratkartoffeln. It's just a question of time. Using cooked ones is because this dish is meant to be cooked from leftovers. So you can use the rest of the salty cooked potatoes from yesterday and make a totally new dish for today out of it. The real secret is the right amount of salt, garlic is important you also can use rosmary or nutmeg🤓😉
Only thing I really need to say is that you can make Bratkartoffeln in many different ways. You don’t need the bacon, you can make it with sausage or eggs and MOST IMPORTANTLY: boil the potatoes a day before making Bratkartoffeln, it has been proven to taste better that way (Don’t quote me on that, though) and you can just use leftover potatoes from a different meal, which is really practical and you don’t have to worry about making too many potatoes either.
@@sylviav6900 What? No. Who in their right mind, fries everything separately? You take one pan, and add one ingredient after the other. Start with the bacon, so that the fat and salt goes into the pan, fry the onions second, add the sliced potato last. She's overdoing it for tiktok.
beef with austria... its more the other way around, austria makes it VERRRRRY clear that they are not germans. (despite the fact of more than 1000 years of shared history....)
0:09 those Fliegenfallen (fly traps) are a thing in germany. they might not be popular, but yes, they can be bouht at any supermarket (I'm aware of that is). 2:26 let's just say we have. You know, austrians and germans do get along better than most others, but... kinda of difficult. In a nutshell, a certain mustache guy was an austrian, and the other country took the blame, while the other other country never did. It doesn't even cross their minds. Nuff said.
There is no beef between German and Austria, in fact, the relations are very good to the point where neither feels like leaving the country when visiting the other. At the same time, both have some distinct traits and mentality differences they cherish. After all, confusing brothers may lead to more upset than confusing someone with a random person.
The difference between Austrians and Germans: If the neighbour mowns the lawn at a time it's not allowed (too early in the morning for example). Germans would report their neighbour and would start a quarrel. Austrians would not say anything but try to get to the lawn mower at night, tune it like hell and then watch him starting it the next time to have some fun and teach him a lesson. That's the difference of our culture and humor.
Well let's put it this way: there was an austrian painter, who managed to kill over 20 Million people and let everybody blame germany instead of austria for it XD
the fly trap was once common (when i was 3 we had a bunch) but like 2 years after no one knew what they are and that they exist (i am now 14 and i feel like still noone knows these exist anymore) btw ''tschüss'' is like bye
We only stare if someone's doing something wrong, it's not something we do all the time. We don't do "see something, say something", we do “see something, say nothing, just stare at the perpetrator as long as it takes for them to realise that they just did something wrong or unbelievably stupid and need to use their heads for more than just wearing a hat". 😁
Austrians and germans were historicly "the same" country and people from around 500 BC all the way to the 1700s when Napoleon split it. However austrians and germans still viewd themselves as one people living in 2 nations all the way up to the 1950s when the wall was errected and tensions grew. Ever since thy try hard to show their differences. Which is kinda funny cause "germans" are split into many regional subcultures that differ more from each other than germany as a whole would from austria as a whole. Bavarians and austrians are the same people geneticly hailing from the same germanic tribe of the bajuvari, who speak a similiar dialect with similiar accent and share most of their culture and traditions. Now austrians and germans have a sibling like quarrel relation. they love to make fun of and insult each other but they still stick together if an outside force interrupts
haha, the song playing in the background of the bratkartoffel video is "99 Luftballons" (the song that people kept mentioning in the video about german music)
i'm austrian and have some german friends, but i don't blame germany for having beef with us. i mean, h*tler was austrian and moved to germany, only to commit genocide in its name
6:33 / 9:23 don´t understand it as german tought at the beginning its like haha have social helfcare and you not, but wasn´t that 8:27 / 9:23 never it it like that just made the patotatos cross on both sides and perfect to eat, but the idea is cool
See Austrians are Germans, but a lot of them that are not aware of it. They can get pretty angry because they are still grumpy because Wien is not the german capital.
Oh, we stare especially in the sauna where we are all naked and are awkwardly silent most of the time 😅 But a scarf warms the sore throat a little which comforts the throat and eases the pain. A headache is a simple nuisance that we only use medication for when our head feels as though someone split our head like you do to a log with the 🪓. However due to that we sometimes don't go to the doctor even if we probably should...😅
I probably should confess that I tend to take pain meds when the pain isn't that severe. Sometimes even when I just feel the "potential" of pain upcoming. And I am also not a very devoted believer in the religion of the scarf (I sometimes use one, though).😅
I thought it was common sense that a scarf helps with a sore throat but it‘s okay. The warmth of the scarf makes it better faster, so as a German I always wear a scarf when I get a sore throat lmao
I worked in a roadside bar/hotel in Austria, 30 mins from Switzerland and 30 mins to Germany right in the middle of the three countries. And boy we could tell the difference between all 3, not just a little language difference, but their style, attitudes and social quirks. Austrians were farmers, a lil racist, and very much rule followers. Swiss were just rich, and kept to themselves. Germans were very friendly and travelled a lil more, knew more english etc. These are just my personal observations. But the one thing they all had in common, their love of bread, beer and pommes.
As a German living in Austria, I totally resonate with this description. In Austria, there's a different word for almost everything. Germans do understand these words, and Austrians understand the German word, but they give you a funny look when I speak the German words. As for the farmers, instead of "Mülleimer" (garbage bin) Austrians say "Mistkübel", which reminds me of an old wooden dirty bucket with pig manure in it. Instead of Treppe (stairs) they say Stiege, which reminds me more of a ladder leading upstairs in a barn. As time passed, I started to really dislike many Austrian expressions, like saying manure instead of garbage for example. I'm definitely not snooty, I'm just German and I don't have manure in my kitchen.
Statistics usually show that we Austrians speak better English than Germans. I think a lot of it depends on what region of Germany we are talking about. I have family in Saxony, and when I compare Austrians to Saxons, it is the opposite to what you described. Likee the level of racism and the rudeness I experienced in Saxony is not something I know here in Austria. And a lot of people barely learned English there, I think in the GDR they often learned Russian.
No eye contact in confined spaces, such as lifts. And if you do, only very briefly and perhaps with a slight nod of the head as a greeting. And the more intimate, like in a sauna, the less eye contact.

Well, I guess it's one of these dishes people started to love so much that they don't necessarily use leftovers anymore. But I know what you mean, it really is a bit ironic to make it in a relatively fancy fashion.
@@vsmash2The concept of having potatoes or rice left over is so foreign to me though. I live alone and always measure exactly the amount that I need and then eat it all.
I am German and if I've got a sore throat I immediately put a scarf around my neck, also at night. I also put some cotton wool in my ears in order to keep the throat and the head warm. If it stays warm, the throat doesn't dry out. If it dries out, the surface can finely tear and crack and any bacteria or pathogens can enter into the body much more easily!
So for me, it helps me a lot and it doesn't harm the body! 👍
The scarf trick is still funny. I remember when i was in the uk and the old host granny laughed. She said that is such a typical german thing even in summer. When we came with a scarf it meant we are sick.
Czechs do almost all these things same as Germans :D
It works, though
😅😆
In a funny movie, an arrogant man wears a scarf, is asked, if he has a cold and he replied "it's style"
Well, the reason is in the name. If you have a cold, you have to keep you warm. Including the throat. ;-)
Well, Ryan, Hitler was from Austria, he was Austrian. Do I need to say more?
And us Austrians understood that he was bad so we didn't give him a platform to spread his ideology. Germany on the other hand....
I think, it's really toxic to blame any whole population for this one person. Like: Just because Hitler was born in Austria, that doesn't say anything about any Austrian nowadays. So there is actually more to be said. Fair point, you can maybe blame someone from that time for having followed the Nazi Ideology. But these were our ancestors, not us. So there is no need to establish a system of inherited guilt.
I truely believe that you meant that comment in an ironic way. Not in a serious way. But I doubt that everybody gets that, especially, when they want to learn about german and austrian heritage and how ot is treated.
@BottleTrash yeah, he staged a whole coup which should have seen him either executed or deported, but instead he spent a short time in a luxurious prison qnd then had the platform to become as powerful as he did because some guy wanted to see him fail 😐
Let's not forget that Austria was an integral Part of Germany until the 1860s, the last German emperors of the Ancien Regime (HRE) until 1806 were Austrians and resided in Vienna, the Insignia are still displayed there.
So the Nazi parole "Heim ins Reich" (back home into the empire) had a real meaning, when re-unifying 1938.
@@BottleTrashBro don't sprak about these things if you don't have a Clue.
Let's just say, Austria bekamen part of the Reich without a single german bullet shot.
It's not cheese, but tschüss, which is derivated from Walloon "adjuus" which either derivated from French "adieu" or "à dieu" or from Spanish "adiós". Other derivates with same meaning are adjüs, adjes, tjüs. Those variations are mostly used in the northern and western regions, while southern Germans prefer the older "ade", derivated from the Northern French variation "adé". And Bavarians say "Pfüat di", abbreviating the phrase "Behüt dich Gott" (Be guarded by god), which has similar origins in Christianity.
You forgot the southern "Tschau" coming from the italian "Ciao", which originaltes from the latin "I am your servant". (Same as servus)
Auf Wiedersehen! Das ist deutsch!
Interesting, I have never heard something like "adjüs" or "adjes" used before. That connection to "ade" makes sense though. Tschö mit ö!
@@dagmaranja888 Sagst du das dann auch mit Ausrufezeichen oder hast du ein Schild dabei? Könnt ich mir fast denken... Du wärst so deutsch ...😒. Das wär ein Smiley mit Lächeln im Kalender...

Pro Tip: For the fried potatos use the already boiled left overs from the day before. Even if you normally don´t make potatos boil them one day in advance and let them sit!
Germany and Austria... it's complicated.
Though maybe you could compare it to the US and Canada?
a little quote of Franz Grillparzer, austrian poet of the 19th Century: "Germans want to understand the austrians but they can't. Austrians could understand the Germans but they don't want to."
Piefkes vs. Schluchtenscheißer...😂😂😂😂
Not at all - it's more like sourness towards Austria how they managed get off cheap after '45.
Hilter came from Austria.
Habsburger dynasty started WW1 when they declared war on Serbia... So the Entente (France, UK, Russia) declared war on Österreich -Ungarn., because of a treaty with Serbia.... And Germany had to join, because Wilhelm II. gave a blank ticket to Austria... It all started of course with the assassination of Sarajevo on Austrian heir of the throne by a serbian nationalist...
I really thought it's common sense and because of that an universal trick, that you keep your neck warm when your throat is sore. That's also the reason we drink hot tea when having a sore throat.
The raw onions, garlic, and scarf is accurate. 😂 I had to laugh because I realized that now I always tell my kids to make sure they drink more if they have a headache.
I swear by Ibu though. (Ibuorofen = Advil/Motrin)
I like stories where someone says: "You don't have a headache, you *are* a headache!"
I feel attcked by that first one. Hits waaaay too close to home. I can't stop laughing.
Also Bratkartoffeln are the single best thing you can make with leftover potatoes. We love our potatoes. 🥔
As a German I can confirm that we indeed chew on onions, garlic, horseradish and ginger if we have a sore throat 😂
For the Bratkartoffeln: Nygella Lawson isn't the best reference from what I have heard👀😅😂 and 1cm thick potato sliceses are way to thick.
You wanna have some slightly thicker and some thinner, but more towards 0,5cm so the get "knusprig" (I believe crunchy, but only the edges😅🤷🏽♂️)
It's not super hard, you can use the rest of her recipe, if you make thinner potato slices.
My grandma used always a little bit to much oil - but tossed the Bratkartoffeln on a paper towel bevor serving them on a plate, so they wouldn't be soaking from oil, but almost be deep fried on some corners 👌🙏🏼😊
Do you cook your potatoes before making Bratkartoffeln?
@@LJMahomes This in a delicate area of discussion - best results are from left over potatoes from the day before, not unlike how you would do it with rice for fried rice.
Das ist doch alles Geschmackssache. Ich nehme gern rohe Kartoffeln. Das Rezept im Video sieht für mich völlig ok aus, ist halt eine Variante von so einigen.
And why does she fry everything seperately? I usually just put in the bacon first, then add the onions and finally the potatoes. All in the same pan.
@@EyMannMachHin i used to fry everything separately, too. Now I mix it all up, but start with the potatoes, as I usually use uncooked ones.
We have these fly traps here, too. But I'm too disgusted by them to use them myself.😨 Maybe if it only catches fruit flies it would be more acceptable for me, but we have all kinds of "normal" flies here in several sizes (countryside).
I'd thought an Austrian would be much more bothered to be confused with a German, than the other way around. But I don't know.🤔
The scarf is supposed to keep your throat warm, as far as I know.
I love Bratkartoffeln, but I usually make them out of raw/uncooked potatoes and like to eat them with fish. But Bratwurst is also great. Bacon is optional for me, but really adds to the taste. What I need though is a fried egg on the top, with the yolk still runny.
It's funny how this is a very classical "old people's food" as well as a total soul/comfort food I can really enjoy as someone who isn't that old yet. I absolutely recommend you to try that recipe from the video yourself!
The Austria-German dispute is something among 50+ people. I remember german comedians trashing austrians when I was a child. Today its more of a practical joke to hate eachother then anything else
It feels like "I can talk trash about my brother but don't YOU dare even look at him sideways!"
At least to me and my austrian friends
Same with Saarland-France. 😅
Wearing a scarf whenn my throat hurts while I'm sick has actually always helped, my doctor recommends it
Add some fresh fried eggs to Bratkartoffeln, a pickled gurken and you have a Bauernfrühstück - translates to farmer's breakfast. Yummi for the tummy.
I misread the fresh fried eggs as french fries and thought that that's a quite interesting version of the dish.😅
But the eggs I absolutely recommend, too.🙂 I personally love them with the yolk still runny.
Hi i am from austria and we are not the same hahahaha just the beyerns hahaha
O and hitler didnt got big in austria so he tryed it in Germany……
Best from Austria
About the first one: our voice gets really high pitched sometimes when we talk to people we know. I’ve never really noticed that it’s a German phenomenon 😂
Austrians don't like German "Piefkes" which is their term for German tourists from the more northern regions (which they often perceive as somewhat snotty), while Bavarians call those people "Saupreissn" (which means lit. sow Prussians - sow used here like bitch in English). The enmity between Prussians and Austrians goes back to the War of the Austrian Succession (which Prussia lost in the end, but still won Silesia. Some historians count it as the first World War, since France, Sweden and Naples sided with Spain, Prussia, Bavaria and Saxony, while the UK, Russia and the United Netherlands sided with House Habsburg-Lorraine), but it became hot with the German War of 1866, as Prussia allied with Italy to attack the Austrian-led German Federation. Also some Germans tend to be a bit snotty about the small "Alps republic" and it's allegedly hillbilly inhabitants.
8:35 If she would have only some eggs scrambled in it, it would have been the classic "farmer's breakfast".
I know going deep here. But I wouldn't say Prussia lost the war of the Austrian succession
I get today an order of flytraps cause of 1 !!!! nerve killing fly, so, yes we know them too ;)
If possible: Watch a video of my birthplace; Kassel. Its got a famous Park which is World Heritage: The Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe.

Do not overfill the Pan and do not use too much heat.
Let them get crispy in peace from both sides, if you interfere too much they fall apart.
This dude brings me so much joy even when he's just reacting to videos, all because he reminds me of my old english teacher back in 8th grade
we kinda jokingly kinda seriously dont wanna get confused with austrians, because their accent is weird to us and we are football rivals and also because hitler was from austria, so basically austria started ww2 ^^
:P you could also say - austria didn´t want hitler around so he moved to germany but nobody could imagin that germany would made him to their chancellor ^^
Cruises (Kreuzfahrten) are rather popular in Germany. We have two large cruise lines: Aida, which have the reputation to be party boats for younger audience and "mein Schiff" which is a bit more family and elder friendly (also more expensive).
Austria an germany is like USA and canada..
canadians dont like it when people assume the US and Canada are the same..
same with germany and austria..
similar, but different
Not really. Austria and (non-Bavarian) Germany have more differences in regards to history, geography, culture, religion and language than the US Americans and Canadians have.
Yes, we also know flycatchers, but we use them to catch lions from forests.
I'd say the Germany/Austria whould be the same if someone from Europe said: "Oh you are from Canada, isn't that the same as America?"
2:28 Many people say Austria and Germany ist "very similar" in both countries is the language German. And in the History we was more than one time one countrie.
Greetings from Austria 🇦🇹
P.s I think we are different
Especially in Bavaria we love the Austrians (except Vienna maybe), though I'm not so sure about the other way around. 😅
@@alexb.6013i was from Vienna and I like the Bavarian.😉
Aber ja wir Wiener sind etwas eigen.
@@alexb.6013 fair, here in austria we love austrians (except vienna)
Coming from the north of Germany I like the somewhat morbid charme of Vienna. I'm always thinking about the fact, that the German Empire was longer ruled from Vienna than from Berlin. The Habsburgs did that mostly well until they didn't. That's why we stole melody of the old imperial hymn . ;-) Of course Austria is different, but so are Westfalia and Saxony.
@@thenglar so hatte ich das überhaupt noch nicht gesehen stimmt die Habsburger wahren sehr lange an der Macht 😂
1:09 this is true though (for some germans atleast). If I relax my facial muscles and just look around neutrally, people always think I’m glaring at them.

6:22 it keep the throat warm and should speed up the healing process, while u watch tv, drinking tea and doing a Kamillendamfbad(Camomile tea steam bath) every hour.
but only in the worst case, if u cant handle well the sickness with a tea.
Actually we Dont have beef with Austria since the german-german-war 1866. Everything is cool. It's Not more than annoying bavarians or saxons😅

In germany we say: "If you have a cold, it takes a week with medicine and 7 days without."
Germans and the other German speaking countries are like siblings, hate and love and try to impress Mama 😅
yes... I've seen these fly traps in germany and austria.
be careful ... if they get really warm, they start dripping that sticky, nasty glue substance 🤣
You must have had very bad ones then. I always use them if I don't have any insect screens at my windows and they never dripped...
@@AriaEmily i don't own them at all (currently) ...
But I've seen them drip. And they were the standard ones bought in a store in austria.
Maybe it's only if they are really cold beforehand 🤔 it was in the winter in the countryside of austria (snow outside) and we fired up a wood stove, after it got warm, it took a while and it started dripping it's sticky substance ...
Or maybe humidity played also a factor, we were drying our jackets next to the stove.
Who knows ... but they can and will drip under certian circumstances.
The scarf is meant to warm and can help depending on the issue.

I think the „conflict“ between Austria and Germany is like the conflict between siblings.
We use to make jokes about each other, but if someone else would attack one of us the other one would help.
We have a very long complicated history together. Austria as a country is much older then Germany. Parts of Germany and even Russia belonged to Austria. And Germany invaded Austria in then second world war.
On the other site; the first world war startet when a serbien nationalist killed the Austrian heir of the throne and his wife. Germany declared war on serbia and russia to help Austria on there revenge.
Germany "invaded" Austria "in" WWIi?
Someone slept through history class. 😂
Serbia nationalist killed the Austrian imperialist, yes.
2:23 It depends, we're just way too similar and like little brother big brother we like to beat the living shit out of each other.
OMG kinda of 50 years ago here in Italy a lot of fish vendor used this sticky tape, many apllied this tape on the four wings of a fan. but was so disgusting to see all creepy fly and mosquito and bug captured, nobody used anymore. However, in the city insects are very few while in the countryside you usually get used to them. There are a thousand systems on sale such as electrified screens with blue neon behind them, or small ultrasound emitters that work attached directly to the sockets, or even insect deterrent perfume dispensers. Almost all of these are somewhat effective but not too much. Some natural remedies such as citronella candles or coils are more effective but they are inconvenient because you have to light them and place them, they stay on for a while then you also have to clean them, they are usually used sporadically like in the evening if you want to dine in the garden. The remedies that I find most effective in my opinion are very natural, such as planting pyrethrum plants in the ground or in pots near the windows.
TH-cam suggested this video and I really appreciate the raw, genuine reaction. No fake, overly dramatic and excagerated content. Daumen hoch! (Thumbs up) 👍

A scarf, onions and potatoes are typical cheap aids for me, against mild cold symptoms.
The scarf warms and protects against further draughts. In addition, the warmth can relieve some of the pain. Onion juice (chop the onion, put sugar on it. Let it steep a little so that the juice comes out, then take a teaspoon of the juice) helps against sore throats. Since onions contain essential oils that act against bacteria and germs, it is a good remedy for a cold. You only smell a bit strong maybe. ;) And hot potatoes wrapped in a cloth are the best hot water bottle of all.
Onion also immediately helps with insect bites
For Bratkartoffeln.... Fry the potatoes WITH the bacon and onions, so you got the whole flavour of them into the potatoes. Why did she fry them seperatly anyway 🤨 some don't even precook the potatoes
1. It is "Tschüss" not "Cheese"
2. We should call it RGF, Resting German Face
3. Regardless if "Bratkartoffeln" or any other dish with potatoes, I would eat each of them, if Poppy O'Toole made them.
Do we have been with Austria? Actually... despite them causing 2 world wars and blaming both of them on Germany (and everyone accepts it as a fact) we actually don't. But Austrians have a problem with Germans and can't help but point it out every occasion they get xD Germany "nothings" Austria.
Cheese = Tschüss = Bye 😂
You heard it wrong
I'd say Germany and Austria have a very sibling-like relationship. We like to tease each other but when anyone else does we're very protective of each other. At least that's what I like to think as an Austrian who's half German.
You can also use raw potatoes for Bratkartoffeln. It's just a question of time. Using cooked ones is because this dish is meant to be cooked from leftovers. So you can use the rest of the salty cooked potatoes from yesterday and make a totally new dish for today out of it. The real secret is the right amount of salt, garlic is important you also can use rosmary or nutmeg🤓😉
Only thing I really need to say is that you can make Bratkartoffeln in many different ways. You don’t need the bacon, you can make it with sausage or eggs and MOST IMPORTANTLY: boil the potatoes a day before making Bratkartoffeln, it has been proven to taste better that way (Don’t quote me on that, though) and you can just use leftover potatoes from a different meal, which is really practical and you don’t have to worry about making too many potatoes either.
XD XD XD that was the most complicated way of making Bratkartoffeln. Just chop everything and, put it in a pan, fry on medium heat until done.
That's possible, but her way is more accurate. Just leave away the garlic.
@@sylviav6900 What? No. Who in their right mind, fries everything separately? You take one pan, and add one ingredient after the other. Start with the bacon, so that the fat and salt goes into the pan, fry the onions second, add the sliced potato last. She's overdoing it for tiktok.
beef with austria...
its more the other way around, austria makes it VERRRRRY clear that they are not germans.
(despite the fact of more than 1000 years of shared history....)
About the "german stare": It's a battle of minds, who looks away 1st, has the lower power level. At least that's what I make of this.
0:09 those Fliegenfallen (fly traps) are a thing in germany. they might not be popular, but yes, they can be bouht at any supermarket (I'm aware of that is).
2:26 let's just say we have. You know, austrians and germans do get along better than most others, but... kinda of difficult. In a nutshell, a certain mustache guy was an austrian, and the other country took the blame, while the other other country never did. It doesn't even cross their minds. Nuff said.
There is no beef between German and Austria, in fact, the relations are very good to the point where neither feels like leaving the country when visiting the other. At the same time, both have some distinct traits and mentality differences they cherish. After all, confusing brothers may lead to more upset than confusing someone with a random person.
So let me guess, you are German?
@@j.a.1721 How dare you call me a German!? I am Austrian, obviously!
The difference between Austrians and Germans:
If the neighbour mowns the lawn at a time it's not allowed (too early in the morning for example).
Germans would report their neighbour and would start a quarrel.
Austrians would not say anything but try to get to the lawn mower at night, tune it like hell and then watch him starting it the next time to have some fun and teach him a lesson.
That's the difference of our culture and humor.
Well let's put it this way: there was an austrian painter, who managed to kill over 20 Million people and let everybody blame germany instead of austria for it XD
3:40 I literally gasped. 😄 You seriously don't have bretzels at breakfast buffet??
the fly trap was once common (when i was 3 we had a bunch) but like 2 years after no one knew what they are and that they exist (i am now 14 and i feel like still noone knows these exist anymore)
btw ''tschüss'' is like bye
We only stare if someone's doing something wrong, it's not something we do all the time.
We don't do "see something, say something", we do “see something, say nothing, just stare at the perpetrator as long as it takes for them to realise that they just did something wrong or unbelievably stupid and need to use their heads for more than just wearing a hat". 😁
Austrians and germans were historicly "the same" country and people from around 500 BC all the way to the 1700s when Napoleon split it. However austrians and germans still viewd themselves as one people living in 2 nations all the way up to the 1950s when the wall was errected and tensions grew.
Ever since thy try hard to show their differences. Which is kinda funny cause "germans" are split into many regional subcultures that differ more from each other than germany as a whole would from austria as a whole. Bavarians and austrians are the same people geneticly hailing from the same germanic tribe of the bajuvari, who speak a similiar dialect with similiar accent and share most of their culture and traditions.
Now austrians and germans have a sibling like quarrel relation. they love to make fun of and insult each other but they still stick together if an outside force interrupts
haha, the song playing in the background of the bratkartoffel video is "99 Luftballons" (the song that people kept mentioning in the video about german music)

8:27 / 9:23 never it it like that just made the patotatos cross on both sides and perfect to eat, but the idea is cool
See Austrians are Germans, but a lot of them that are not aware of it. They can get pretty angry because they are still grumpy because Wien is not the german capital.
Oh, we stare especially in the sauna where we are all naked and are awkwardly silent most of the time 😅
But a scarf warms the sore throat a little which comforts the throat and eases the pain. A headache is a simple nuisance that we only use medication for when our head feels as though someone split our head like you do to a log with the 🪓. However due to that we sometimes don't go to the doctor even if we probably should...😅
I probably should confess that I tend to take pain meds when the pain isn't that severe. Sometimes even when I just feel the "potential" of pain upcoming.
And I am also not a very devoted believer in the religion of the scarf (I sometimes use one, though).😅
We have beef with everyone and no one, it mostly fun and competition or revalvry. But the real enemy is the neighboring town or village.
"The only thing cuter than babies...are german babies" I just had the laughter of my life 😂

I thought it was common sense that a scarf helps with a sore throat but it‘s okay. The warmth of the scarf makes it better faster, so as a German I always wear a scarf when I get a sore throat lmao
Why do we not like Austria? Well, Adolf comes from the country!🥸
Yes Bratkartoffeln are great. Keep the slices thin so they get crispy very fast.
I worked in a roadside bar/hotel in Austria, 30 mins from Switzerland and 30 mins to Germany right in the middle of the three countries. And boy we could tell the difference between all 3, not just a little language difference, but their style, attitudes and social quirks. Austrians were farmers, a lil racist, and very much rule followers. Swiss were just rich, and kept to themselves. Germans were very friendly and travelled a lil more, knew more english etc. These are just my personal observations. But the one thing they all had in common, their love of bread, beer and pommes.
As a German living in Austria, I totally resonate with this description. In Austria, there's a different word for almost everything. Germans do understand these words, and Austrians understand the German word, but they give you a funny look when I speak the German words. As for the farmers, instead of "Mülleimer" (garbage bin) Austrians say "Mistkübel", which reminds me of an old wooden dirty bucket with pig manure in it. Instead of Treppe (stairs) they say Stiege, which reminds me more of a ladder leading upstairs in a barn. As time passed, I started to really dislike many Austrian expressions, like saying manure instead of garbage for example. I'm definitely not snooty, I'm just German and I don't have manure in my kitchen.
Statistics usually show that we Austrians speak better English than Germans. I think a lot of it depends on what region of Germany we are talking about. I have family in Saxony, and when I compare Austrians to Saxons, it is the opposite to what you described. Likee the level of racism and the rudeness I experienced in Saxony is not something I know here in Austria. And a lot of people barely learned English there, I think in the GDR they often learned Russian.

No eye contact in confined spaces, such as lifts. And if you do, only very briefly and perhaps with a slight nod of the head as a greeting. And the more intimate, like in a sauna, the less eye contact.
