Did you know there ist a difference in Potatosalad made in the northern parts of germany and the southern ones? The noth of germany adds mayonnaise and here in the south we add like a proper dressing with vinegar, oil and some broth as well.
As a child, my grandmother always said when I liked a cake: "There's "good butter" on it!" It taught me that if you want it to taste good, it has to have "good butter" on it. No margarine on the cakes! Never! Never, never, never! Always butter! Good butter! :-)
Your pronunciarion of German is amazing. I've never met somebody from North America who was able to pronounce German Umlauts like "ö", "ä" or "ü". You have even mastered both ways to pronounce "ch". This is really great, phenomenal! And your videos are fun to watch, too. Informative and entertaining! Thanks for sharing your experience with us! 😀
About the potatoe pancakes: While it is true that some people prepare them in the deep fryer, I'd strongly recommend frying them in a pan. The ready made ones from the supermarktet you showed in the video already have enough fat in them that you don't even need to put any additional fat into the pan at all. They get crispier that way and don't soak up more fat that doesn't add to the flavor.
I'm from Germany and if I was on Holiday in another county the First Thing i miss was German bread. It is so nice, esspecialy Made of "Sauerteig" or "Zwiebel Speck Brot"
Maybe it's to late, but you have to try "Dampfnudel". I prefer the ones filled with blueberries. Than just warm it up in a pan with some milk and Vanilla in it. You can eat them with vanilla sauce (warm or cold) and it's amazing!
I'm a second generation German/American. Both of my grandparents were from Germany. I grew up on Lentil stew and Spaetzl. The stew had chunks of ham in it. Yum. I also grew accustomed to Rouladen, or rolled beef. It's very thin beef rolled around a dill pickle slice, with bacon and onion slices. I could eat 8 of them in one sitting. And Sauerbraten (seasonal) with red cabbage and and spaetzle. I love Kartoffelpuffers. But my diabetes won't let me eat them any more.
Suggestions: 1. Serve potato dumplings with the Sauerbraten instead of Spätzle. 2. Leave out the pickle when making Rouladen, use a mixture of medium-hot and extra-hot mustard for covering, brown the Rouladen until almost black, and dilute not too much when making the sauce.
Moin Jenna, heut gibt es bei uns Hackauflauf mit Kartoffelknödel, mit Käse überbacken. Reibekuchen nennen wir in HH übrigens Kartoffelpuffer.

You should try „Matjes“ ( Fish) and „Stremellachs“ (fish) ideally in Nothern Germany. Furthermore, Weißwürstchen mit süssem Senf, is worth trying in Bavaria i. e. in a German Biergarten - tasty even if you were not a meat lover. Last, but not least, Look out for „Spreewald-Gurken“ (cucumbers)offered with different tastes. Best when visiting the beautiful Spreewald on one of the famous boats. Enjoy 😎
Ever tried a typical bavarian, very popular dish: Weißwurst with Pretzl and sweet mustard (BTW: Best and most popular brand here is "Hendlmaiers Sweet Mustard") ? Usually accompanied by a nice fresh Weissbier ? MMMmmmhh...
Adding bacon to Rotkohl sounds sketchy to me. What Rotkohl needs is pieces of apple, a stick of cinnamon and a few cloves. Then it becomes delicious :)

In another video you said that you cannot even put Mett in your mouth. I understand that -- well, "I" like Mettbrötchen. But on the other hand I never had the indoctrination that raw meet (except some poultry) is unhealthy. Over here there are some things different. Eggs don't need refrigeration, and raw meet is in the group of delikatessen. Well not all meet, but some are: beef tartare of mett for instance. My personal opinion: If others can eat it and survive, I may at least try it -- no matter what prejudices. Maybe one day... Side note: Many North-Americans have that "problem", and in this group there're more females than males. if you look for culture shocks and Mett you will find many videos and funny faces of Americans who try that for the first time -- and their reaction and verdict.
The disgusted looks in the Stuttgart company I used to work for, when it was my birthday and I had spent the weekend home in the north and turned up with 30 Brötchen and 6lbs of Thüringer Mett on monday... I love Mett-Brötchen and I wasn´t aware, it´s not exactly a Baden-Würtemberg-custom... :(
@@kvwuppkvwupp834 Oder andere Fischbrötchen! Aber bitte nur in Hamburg oder sonstwo nahe der Nordsee - mein Vater hatte nach unserem Hamburgurlaub ein Problem mit den "Nordsee"-Filialen in Südwestfalen …
I lived in neaby Köln for 12 years. I wonder if bakeries have Röggelchen where you live. I miss fresh Röggelchen! It's just a simple wheat and rye roll that comes as a conjoined pair. It's so good with even just a slice of cheese and mustard or any cold cuts, or of course just butter.
Rheinischer Sauerbraten mit Halb und Halbknödeln❤️❤️❤️ ( It has Raisins in and a big Table Spoon of Grafschafter Rübenkraut, sometimes Lebkuchen to give it that sweet sour taste... OMG... It's so delicious!) Huehnerfrikassee mit Pilzen, Spargel und Kapern auf Reis Rinderzunge in Weißwein/Sahnesoße mit Pilzen auf Reis. For breakfast: Brötchen cut in half, take a little of that inner out, spread butter on, then scoop some Grafschafter Rübenkraut on and top it with a spread of Quark. 🙂🙂🙂 Marillenknödel Hefeklöße mit Blaubeeren on top ( From the Glas... You can put it like that on, or thicken it with a little mondamin Speisestärke and pour that sauce over your Hefeklöße) Milchreis mit Zimt und Zucker und Apfelmus on top. I could go on and on... 🤣🤣🤣
no, you can't eat butter on it's own, it tastes decent, but not that great.. on a hot fresh Brötchen or Brezel it's a treat.. but butter in itself ?! weird.. ..oh and the container with potato salad, that's also nothing against home made.. you cannot eat it.. but very entertaining video and sentiments.. thanks for sharing.
Since you love Quarkbällchen and Reibekuchen so much, you definitely should give Quarkkeulchen a try. This sweet dish comes from Saxony and is a pan-fried dough in the shape of a burger patty, but more oval. Quarkkeulchen are made from mashed potatoes, curd (Quark), eggs, flour, some grated lemon zest, (optional) raisins, vanilla sugar and a pint of salt. They are traditionally eaten with (cinnamon) sugar and apple purée (Apfelmus). Homemade they are unbeatable (and irrestable as well ;-) )
@@MonkeyDRuffy82 Kraeppelchen are delicious, true, and indeed worth a try. But they are definitely not the same receipe like Quarkkeulchen or Quarkbaellchen. The receipes are not even similar. There a loads of different types of German sweets made of deep-fried dough (like Quarkbaellchen, Krapfen, Mutzen, Mäuse, Berliner [names for "Berliner" are different depending on the geographic region] and many more.) The receipes differ a lot. Btw., Quarkeulchen are usually not deep-fried, but panfried. ;-)
As a north german I have to recommend Oldenburger Grünkohl or Bremer Grünkohl. Did you ever try Matjes? Yeah, thats not for beginners, but really important food at the coast. And Nordseekrabben, not comparable to any other kind of shrimps.
Are you aware of the North-South-divide wrt potato salad? The southern variant is rather different, without mayonaise at all. But I don't think one can get the souther version pre-made in containers (and I would be wary of it), so one has to make it at home or get it in certain restaurants. (And I don't know how common it is, it is common in Austria and classic aside for Wiener Schnitzel).
Hahaha, I’m trying to think about whether I’ve eaten it in the South before! I’m sure I have! I remember it being a bit less creamy and more vinegary if I’m correct??
Aaaaaah, my Swabian heart aches! 😂 Spätzle aren't rolled, the dough is scraped off of a cutting board into boiling water - at least if they're done traditionally 😀
Haha ahh how neat!! I’ve seen it rolled on a cutting board, never scraped! But sounds creative - I’ll have to find a video of how to prepare it the traditional way so I can try it myself 😍
@@MHG1023 😂😂😂they sometimes have difficulties to understand people from the next village themselves, but the food is great! I have lived there for few years and learned how to make Spätzle the classic way and ever since I have to cook Spätzle mit Linsen und Saitewürschtle (Spätzle, lentils and Frankfurter, which can be considered as equivalent sausage) . Actually I love also the classic lettuce with 4TS cream, 1TS Lemonjuice, a pitch sugar, salt, paprika and herbs. As I am from Hamburg, it’s such a delight to have fried fish with it!
Im Norden essen wir gerne Kasseler mit Grünkohl. Ich esse es am liebsten so: Kasseler mit mildem Senf bestreichen, kandierte Salzkartoffeln, Grünkohl mit Zucker bestreuen, Kochwurst mit mildem Senf, optional: Schweinebacke mit mildem Senf bestreichen. Alle Süddeutschen die uns besuchen sind davon hellauf begeistert. Mich würde interessieren was du davon hälst. Leider esse ich das fast nur zuhause, weil die meisten Restaurants das nicht annähernd so gut hinbekommen wie meine Frau. Die Schwierigkeit ist es das der Kasseler nicht zu trocken schmeckt und der Grünkohl nicht zu bitter.
Nice video, dear Jenna. Some typical traditional dishes: Eintopf (one pot): Erbsensuppe, Westfälischer Linseneintopf, Dicke Grüne Bohnen (bitter) with Speck (Hamburg Style) , Rheinischer Sauerbraten (seasoned beef in vinegar), Niedersachsen: Grünkohl with Bregenwurst or Rauchendchen (smoked sausage), Kohlrouladen, Wiener Schnitzel, Bismarck Hering, Münchner Weißwurst with Brezel und Radi, Gurkensalat, I should another list with cakes and bread. Cheers
Have you tried potatoe salad with broth, bacon, prickles, onion? Btw, you forgot Weihnachtsente mit Knödeln or Herzoginkartoffeln and Rotkohl...OmG! And Mohnkuchen! Marzipan! Smoked fish (HH)! Königsberger Klopse! All kind of sausages! Saumagen and Mannheimer Dreck, LOL Bauernfrühstück, Fleischsalat on Brötchen, all the different Aufschnitt we have (Bierschinken, Mortadella, Salami, etc etc etc) I don't like liver, but I love Leberwurst. Oh! Schwarzwälderschinken, Tirolerschinken, Kaminwurzln (I live in Bavaria right now). Oh! Our prickles! Soooo yummi, and using the water from it for lettuce salad, OmG! Oh! Our salads and dressings...in México as they don't use to eat lettuce normally, it's considered rabbit food LOL, but because they don't know to prepare it. There you get nasty naked lettuce, fresh onion ring and a piece of tomatoe and sprinkle salt and lemon on it, brrrr, bäh! But of course they have other incredible food...but those “side salads“ are too plain for me. I am half German, half Mexican and have lived in both countries besides two others ;)
Butterbretzeln, süßer Senf, Feigensenf, hausgemachter Kartoffelsalat (die süddeutsche Variante ohne Mayo mit Brühe und Essig und Öl) oh Gott krieg ich Hunger
You have to try Dampfnudeln with potatoe soup! But be careful, don't buy them at the bakery. Those are old and disgusting. You have to find someone to make them fresh. Then they are soft pillows of heaven with a salty crust. Dunk that into the soup and you have my favourite dish! Also, try Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte.
Well, Germany is the land of "Vereine" - think of what you like and you will find a Verein/Society/Club for it - singing, dancing, any kind of sport, Schützenvereine (depend where you are in Germany), wandern, angeln, Modeleisenbahn... the list could go on and on. It's the easiest way to get the germans to know - Vereine are (in general) open to everyone and not very expensive... as always: no rule without exception
Have you ever tried Bavarian Weißwürste (white sausages)? To enjoy them properly, sweet Bavarian mustard is absolutely mandatory :-) Bavarians eat them until noon, Tourists all day. I am German, born in Bremen and having lived in Hamburg, Berlin, Munich, Cologne and Frankfurt, having an US background by studying in Idaho, US, and now domiciliating in the Frankfurt metro area.
@@philippu.6692 Das wird sogar in der Düsseldorfer Altstadt angeboten :-) Scheint so, als wäre es wie mit der BILD: größte Zeitung, aber keiner liest sie...
Weißwürste sind okay, Fränkische Rostbratwurst ist richtig lecker, und wer mal Schwarzgeräuchertes aus dem Schlegel gegessen hat, wird das sehr wahrscheinlich wiederholen.
Grandma used to make Kartoffelpuffer (potato Pancakes) not deep frying - but in the pan. Yes, you use a lot of oil, but they do not swim in it. For potato salad there are a lot of different recipes, the main direction is - in the North of Germany we prefer the mayo Version, in the South they make it with a little bit of broth, vinegar and oil (very tasty!) I have come to make a Variety with baked pumpkin, a Vinaigrette and lamb's lettuce. Has a nicer, fresher crunch to it from the salad and is not as sour - because of the sweet pumpkin flesh. There are more potato salad recipes around than just the two main varieties. And I have come to make mayo myself, when I use it at all (rarely) - quickly done with a stick blender. Potato salad is a staple on Christmas Eve. Most people eat that and some Wiener, I like meat balls (Frikadellen) or fishcakes (Fischfrikadellen) with mine.
@@lifeingermany_ In Canada and the US Eastcoast you get Pastrami-Sandwiches everywhere, they use some kind of pickled meat. As far as I know, emigrants from Eastern Europa brought it to America ("Pastramă"). So delicious with cucumbers, Swiss Cheese or whatever. Unfortunately, this has not yet really caught on in Germany, you rarely see it here.
Europe prefers cultured butter (from fermented cream), while GB/US/CA's standard butter is made from pasteurised cream. The latter needs to be salted (or strictly refrigerated) to not spoil, that's why salted butter is so common over there.
@@HenryLoenwind wow! I had NO idea! Thanks so much for the answer! I have to tell my husband too haha he’s been wondering the same! PS. Salted butter is 🧈 just the BEST!
Canadian here living in Munich. I think she exaggerated the butter quality in Canada. It's just as good as it is here. The fat content is a little higher than the butter in Canada, but that is the only difference. Butter is hard to make bad given how easy it is to make.
Put the asparagus peel in with the cooking water, when boiling the asparagus. And save the water to make asparagus creme soup ;) And I was kind of missing the German all time favourite: Mettbrötchen! Edit: Dang, I overlooked the fact that you avoid meat.
Hi, nice that you enjoy German Food. You should try Reibekuchen with Rübenkraut, a syrup made from Zuckerrüben, Sugar Beet. This was really Common after the war, because Honey, Kakao or Apples where rather expensive. Give it a try.
Oh yeah, Rübenkraut (or as it is called here, Fenner Harz) that's also something she should try simply on bread (Mischbrot is best imho for it) with butter. Looks like molasses but has a very nice caramely taste.
You need to try a real German Currywurst or Bratwurst. Schnitzel is also a must have tried. And Flammkuchen. Also have you ever tried Stockbrot? At Camping trips, festivals, longer schooltrips and so on you usually do it. Basically dough, put in a cleaned Stick and backed over an open fire. I personally love it. Is that common in other countries?
Ahhhh yes! I haven’t had Stockbrot since I lived in Freiburg! We’d do it on our longer hikes in the Black Forest 🥰 bringing back great memories! I don’t think it’s so popular in other countries! It seems like such a cool tradition to bring to Canada though!!
Ever tryed the classic YT-video "crazy german food" good old Mettbrötchen? Another thing that should be tryed is the "Franzbrötchen". The most delicious german pastry, ranked even above the Quarkhörnchen (crazy! I know!). Sadly it's limited to northern germany, mostly hamburg. Riddles me to no end. And a old Germany classic (If you ask me, it's more of a let down but 🤫): Birnen, Bohnen & Speck. Well, enough of the german need for Streicheleinheiten, how about you tell us what canadian food we shouldnt miss?
And thankfully we are sooo close to Switzerland! 🥰🤗 I think a number of the things I mention in the video aren’t necessarily from Germany, but you can often find it in Germany (and not in Canada) 🤩. I’ve tried Löwensenf! Not red, but the one in the red tube - is it different?!
Try some Sauerbraten in a good Brauhaus. If you come to Köln, I would say Malzmühle. In Düsseldorf, they surely have good ones too. Anyway, you will have to wait until corona stuff is ....
Meine Grossmutter sagte immer: “friss das, was auf den Tisch kommt!” Opa nickte und traute sich kein Wort zu sagen! Und hatte keine weiteren Fragen, hatte schließlich noch nie viel was zu sagen...🤩
Das mit der Saftschorle hat mich ziemlich überrascht. Ich hatte irgendwie gedacht, man würde Sprudel und Saft weltweit mixen. :D Vielleicht würde dir auch Weinschorle gefallen...
When you like Reibekuchen but not the apple sauce, you could try it with smoked salmon instead. There are also different types of Potato Knödel in germany, so as example you can eat them with Sauerkraut and bacon-cream-sauce called Hoorische or Grumbeer-Spatze or Gefüllte (which means filled potato Knödel with chopped meat and herbs, also with the good old bacon-cream-sauce and Sauerkraut) in Saarland and in parts of Rheinland-Pfalz. In general I would say Knödel are quite popular in middle and eastern Europe and they come in all different kind of flavors and fillings and even sweet ones you normally eat as a dessert.
You have to eat westphalian kale and savoy cabbage. It is also a fall dish and comparable to red cabbage. Not the taste of it, more the fall-dish-feeling.
Potato salad in the south is mostly made of vinegar and oil, but not with mayonnaise. I like that without mayonnaise much more, because it's lighter as sidedish for bbq.
I would recommend "Pickert", this is typical for the eastern part of NRW in Lippe and "Grünkohl mit Bratkartoffeln und Pinkel" (or the sausage you prefer).
Düsseldorf is the perfect place to eat Sauerbraten. I'm pretty sure you can get it in traditional Restaurants. My second recommondation is Flönz - I'ts Blutwurst (blood sausage) which i really didn't like before i moved to Düsseldorf. But in the Düsseldorf/Köln area they do it right - yummy. You'll get that for sure and in best quality at all of the many brewery houses in Düsseldorf. btw. you are not into Altbier?
@@mok1138 oh man not again the same shit. I'm from Frankfurt and after 10 years Düsseldorf i'm back in Frankfurt. I never truely got the whole thing between D an K. Btw. some of our oldest and best friends lived in Köln and guess what - they owned the Mainzer Hof in the Südstadt i could meet BAP bandmembers casually and where Ina Deter celebrated her birthdays. Don't make me think your name is program. Another btw: i loved the Köln carneval much better
Hey there, Jenna. If you love our butter and our bread then you must try our Pumpernickel. Just a thin slice of pumpernickel with a thick layer of butter. Enjoy! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pumpernickel
I am german... There is only one german dish that i know, i cannot stand... And that is Kuddeln.. Part of the stomach of porc.. But there is an TH-cam video i recommend. She is trying Rollmops wich i really like. I eat them not only at carneval. th-cam.com/video/rHByrGj47aQ/w-d-xo.html Rollmops is at 3.15 min
As a born and raised "Hesse" (what's the English expression for that, I wonder?) I strongly recommend you try "Franfurter grüne Soße mit Kartoffeln und Eiern" that's potatos and eggs with a sauce made of a dairy product mixed with seven specific urbs. But I must advise you to avoid the sauces you'd be able to get at a supermarket. Those can't hold a candle to the original you'd get in Frankfurt in a restaurant. So should you travel somewhere near Frankfurt treat yourself to that dish - I would imagine you'd like it right away.
Obatzda is a camembert cheese mixed with butter, finely diced onion, caraway seeds and sometimes pieces of boiled egg. I prefer without the egg. Easy to make at home. I ate tons of it in Bavaria. It's addictive with their wonderful bread.
"mett brötchen with onions,salt and alot of black pepper"(i know you try not to eat meat BUT it will give you the longevity and vigor of friedrich barbarossa and prowess of arminius xD).
Frikadellen! I only just learned that word this year...the sound of the word alone is so cute, that the meatball is sure to be amazing..I grew up knowing them as "klops" still tasty but..meh, klopse for dinner doesn't sound nearly as nice as Frikadellen! for dinner!
@@TheGogeta222 In a past of franconia, for example Schweinfurt, and in bavarian swabia, for example Augsburg, every cultivaded person call them Fleischküchle.
if you like mustard you should go to the Senfmühle in cochem...as a child i had a really bad habit of sucking my thumb and to train me out of it my uncle tried to put mustard on it...and I LOVED it...since that day I put mustard on everything, my first internet passwords were mustard-related and I ate it by the spoon! and boy this Senfmühle for sure has cost me a bunch xD
I´ve been living in Bavaria for 30 years now (Born in the USA ). I really love Leberkäs, Brezen, Nürnberg Bratwurst. Some here really are addicted to Weisswurst (not a fan), which you might like with Süsser Senf.
Try putting Butter in dark brand and then just a sprinkle of salt in top. Oh my god i love it so much!!!! Oh and try schöpfnudeln just fried in a pan with a little bit of applesauce! And there is so much more. Kartoffelsuppe with zwetschgenkuchen aaaaaah so many glawours and now i am hungry
Maybe the dark bread is the reason why you now eat more butter. The heavy, dark rye bread contrasts with the butter (which tastes a little bit sweet), making it a very pleasant combination (especially on freshly baked bread). And once your palate is used to it, you start to like it on its own.

@@kvwuppkvwupp834 Oder andere Fischbrötchen! Aber bitte nur in Hamburg oder sonstwo nahe der Nordsee - mein Vater hatte nach unserem Hamburgurlaub ein Problem mit den "Nordsee"-Filialen in Südwestfalen …
I lived in neaby Köln for 12 years. I wonder if bakeries have Röggelchen where you live. I miss fresh Röggelchen! It's just a simple wheat and rye roll that comes as a conjoined pair. It's so good with even just a slice of cheese and mustard or any cold cuts, or of course just butter.
I’ve seen them before! I think we also have them here 🥰 I’ll give them a try for sure!
Maultaschen (Herrgottsbscheißerle) german Ravioli
Spotted the Swabian!
Not disagreeing, though 😄
Rheinischer Sauerbraten mit Halb und Halbknödeln❤️❤️❤️ ( It has Raisins in and a big Table Spoon of Grafschafter Rübenkraut, sometimes Lebkuchen to give it that sweet sour
taste... OMG... It's so delicious!)
Huehnerfrikassee mit Pilzen, Spargel und Kapern auf Reis
Rinderzunge in Weißwein/Sahnesoße mit Pilzen auf Reis.
For breakfast:
Brötchen cut in half, take a little of that inner out, spread butter on, then scoop some Grafschafter Rübenkraut on and top it with a spread of Quark. 🙂🙂🙂
Marillenknödel
Hefeklöße mit Blaubeeren on top ( From the Glas... You can put it like that on, or thicken it with a little mondamin Speisestärke and pour that sauce over your Hefeklöße)
Milchreis mit Zimt und Zucker und Apfelmus on top.
I could go on and on... 🤣🤣🤣
I could go on and on with Hühnerfrikassee and Rheinischem Sauerbraten! Ist aber Honigkuchen drin, kein Lebkuchen.
no, you can't eat butter on it's own, it tastes decent, but not that great.. on a hot fresh Brötchen or Brezel it's a treat.. but butter in itself ?! weird.. ..oh and the container with potato salad, that's also nothing against home made.. you cannot eat it.. but very entertaining video and sentiments.. thanks for sharing.
Thank you :) This video makes me smile. Greetings from Frankfurt am Main.
You should try plum-Knödel with Brown Sugar, cinnamon and melted Butter 😋
Du solltest mal pflaumenknödel mit Butter probieren! Die sind super lecker 🤤
Red cabbage we used to eat mostly in X max time
Since you love Quarkbällchen and Reibekuchen so much, you definitely should give Quarkkeulchen a try. This sweet dish comes from Saxony and is a pan-fried dough in the shape of a burger patty, but more oval. Quarkkeulchen are made from mashed potatoes, curd (Quark), eggs, flour, some grated lemon zest, (optional) raisins, vanilla sugar and a pint of salt. They are traditionally eaten with (cinnamon) sugar and apple purée (Apfelmus). Homemade they are unbeatable (and irrestable as well ;-) )
And bot forgett Kräppelchen. Is the same Rezept.
@@MonkeyDRuffy82 Kraeppelchen are delicious, true, and indeed worth a try. But they are definitely not the same receipe like Quarkkeulchen or Quarkbaellchen. The receipes are not even similar. There a loads of different types of German sweets made of deep-fried dough (like Quarkbaellchen, Krapfen, Mutzen, Mäuse, Berliner [names for "Berliner" are different depending on the geographic region] and many more.) The receipes differ a lot. Btw., Quarkeulchen are usually not deep-fried, but panfried. ;-)
As a north german I have to recommend Oldenburger Grünkohl or Bremer Grünkohl. Did you ever try Matjes? Yeah, thats not for beginners, but really important food at the coast. And Nordseekrabben, not comparable to any other kind of shrimps.
Are you aware of the North-South-divide wrt potato salad? The southern variant is rather different, without mayonaise at all. But I don't think one can get the souther version pre-made in containers (and I would be wary of it), so one has to make it at home or get it in certain restaurants. (And I don't know how common it is, it is common in Austria and classic aside for Wiener Schnitzel).
Hahaha, I’m trying to think about whether I’ve eaten it in the South before! I’m sure I have! I remember it being a bit less creamy and more vinegary if I’m correct??
@@lifeingermany_ Yep, it's basically just oil, vinegar, broth and spices 🙂
@@feothyr6810 The broth makes all the difference!
Aaaaaah, my Swabian heart aches! 😂 Spätzle aren't rolled, the dough is scraped off of a cutting board into boiling water - at least if they're done traditionally 😀
Haha ahh how neat!! I’ve seen it rolled on a cutting board, never scraped! But sounds creative - I’ll have to find a video of how to prepare it the traditional way so I can try it myself 😍
@@lifeingermany_ scraped: th-cam.com/video/jGujSGfxdmM/w-d-xo.html - rolled are Knödel or Klösse - or Spätzle à la Canada
Spätzle are made like this: th-cam.com/video/-Y6Ga9hMm4Y/w-d-xo.html
Hope you understand Swabian dialect ...
@@MHG1023 😂😂😂they sometimes have difficulties to understand people from the next village themselves, but the food is great! I have lived there for few years and learned how to make Spätzle the classic way and ever since I have to cook Spätzle mit Linsen und Saitewürschtle (Spätzle, lentils and Frankfurter, which can be considered as equivalent sausage) . Actually I love also the classic lettuce with 4TS cream, 1TS Lemonjuice, a pitch sugar, salt, paprika and herbs. As I am from Hamburg, it’s such a delight to have fried fish with it!
@@MHG1023 this video is so addictive to watch 🤩 talk about a serious talent!! I don’t think I could ever accomplish something so amazing!
I think you need to try out Sauerkraut. Since that is THE german food 😀
Sauerkraut is yummy! 🙃
@@lifeingermany_ It is, isn't it? :)
METTBRÖTCHEN!!! Bread with Raw Pork with Onions and Salt and Pepper
Hmmm,
Bauarbeitermarmelade

That's because she hasn't tried Mettbrötchen 😂
It should be mentioned that the raw pork is minced.
Im Norden essen wir gerne Kasseler mit Grünkohl. Ich esse es am liebsten so: Kasseler mit mildem Senf bestreichen, kandierte Salzkartoffeln, Grünkohl mit Zucker bestreuen, Kochwurst mit mildem Senf, optional: Schweinebacke mit mildem Senf bestreichen. Alle Süddeutschen die uns besuchen sind davon hellauf begeistert. Mich würde interessieren was du davon hälst. Leider esse ich das fast nur zuhause, weil die meisten Restaurants das nicht annähernd so gut hinbekommen wie meine Frau. Die Schwierigkeit ist es das der Kasseler nicht zu trocken schmeckt und der Grünkohl nicht zu bitter.
Nice video, dear Jenna. Some typical traditional dishes: Eintopf (one pot): Erbsensuppe, Westfälischer Linseneintopf, Dicke Grüne Bohnen (bitter) with Speck (Hamburg Style) , Rheinischer Sauerbraten (seasoned beef in vinegar), Niedersachsen: Grünkohl with Bregenwurst or Rauchendchen (smoked sausage), Kohlrouladen, Wiener Schnitzel, Bismarck Hering, Münchner Weißwurst with Brezel und Radi, Gurkensalat, I should another list with cakes and bread. Cheers
Have you tried potatoe salad with broth, bacon, prickles, onion?
Btw, you forgot Weihnachtsente mit Knödeln or Herzoginkartoffeln and Rotkohl...OmG! And Mohnkuchen! Marzipan! Smoked fish (HH)! Königsberger Klopse! All kind of sausages! Saumagen and Mannheimer Dreck, LOL
Bauernfrühstück, Fleischsalat on Brötchen, all the different Aufschnitt we have (Bierschinken, Mortadella, Salami, etc etc etc)
I don't like liver, but I love Leberwurst. Oh! Schwarzwälderschinken, Tirolerschinken, Kaminwurzln (I live in Bavaria right now). Oh! Our prickles! Soooo yummi, and using the water from it for lettuce salad, OmG! Oh! Our salads and dressings...in México as they don't use to eat lettuce normally, it's considered rabbit food LOL, but because they don't know to prepare it. There you get nasty naked lettuce, fresh onion ring and a piece of tomatoe and sprinkle salt and lemon on it, brrrr, bäh! But of course they have other incredible food...but those “side salads“ are too plain for me.
I am half German, half Mexican and have lived in both countries besides two others ;)
Btw: Did you know that they call Mettwurst “die Marmelade für Männer“, LOL because men are less sweet tooth as women :)
You should make promotion in Tv spots :D I was never more hungry in my life after, i even had breakfast and i'm about to rob a restaurant now...
😂😂😂♥️
Döner ist NOT a German food but it originally came from Turkey.
Of course! But… in reality… it’s so German too! Haha!
If you ever come to Hamburg you need to try Franzbrötchen!!!!
Labskaus... Oh, she doesn't eat meat.
Scholle. Finkenwerder Art. Oh, she doesn't eat meat...
After not living in Germany for 16 years, you made me so homesick. 😂 can’t wait for m next visit.

You have to try Dampfnudeln with potatoe soup! But be careful, don't buy them at the bakery. Those are old and disgusting. You have to find someone to make them fresh. Then they are soft pillows of heaven with a salty crust. Dunk that into the soup and you have my favourite dish! Also, try Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte.

Well, Germany is the land of "Vereine" - think of what you like and you will find a Verein/Society/Club for it - singing, dancing, any kind of sport, Schützenvereine (depend where you are in Germany), wandern, angeln, Modeleisenbahn... the list could go on and on. It's the easiest way to get the germans to know - Vereine are (in general) open to everyone and not very expensive... as always: no rule without exception
@@michaela114 thnxs bro
Well where u live in Germany?
Have you ever tried Bavarian Weißwürste (white sausages)? To enjoy them properly, sweet Bavarian mustard is absolutely mandatory :-) Bavarians eat them until noon, Tourists all day. I am German, born in Bremen and having lived in Hamburg, Berlin, Munich, Cologne and Frankfurt, having an US background by studying in Idaho, US, and now domiciliating in the Frankfurt metro area.
Igitt igitt - Nördlich der Weißwurstgrenze isst das kein anständiger Mensch
@@philippu.6692 Das wird sogar in der Düsseldorfer Altstadt angeboten :-) Scheint so, als wäre es wie mit der BILD: größte Zeitung, aber keiner liest sie...
Weißwürste sind okay, Fränkische Rostbratwurst ist richtig lecker, und wer mal Schwarzgeräuchertes aus dem Schlegel gegessen hat, wird das sehr wahrscheinlich wiederholen.
Du bist dabei auch noch schlank geblieben....!!!😯🤗
🤣🤣 Ich denke, das liegt daran, dass wir in Deutschland viel mehr laufen als in Kanada. In Kanada hat fast jeder ein Auto. 🙈
@@lifeingermany_ gute Antwort! In deutschland ist alles sehr viel näher. Da muss man nicht 30 min. Zum Supermarkt fahren. Nur 5min laufen.
Grandma used to make Kartoffelpuffer (potato Pancakes) not deep frying - but in the pan. Yes, you use a lot of oil, but they do not swim in it.
For potato salad there are a lot of different recipes, the main direction is - in the North of Germany we prefer the mayo Version, in the South they make it with a little bit of broth, vinegar and oil (very tasty!)
I have come to make a Variety with baked pumpkin, a Vinaigrette and lamb's lettuce. Has a nicer, fresher crunch to it from the salad and is not as sour - because of the sweet pumpkin flesh.
There are more potato salad recipes around than just the two main varieties. And I have come to make mayo myself, when I use it at all (rarely) - quickly done with a stick blender.
Potato salad is a staple on Christmas Eve. Most people eat that and some Wiener, I like meat balls (Frikadellen) or fishcakes (Fischfrikadellen) with mine.
jett hab ich bock auf kartoffelpuffer und apfelmus
Ich habe es nochmal am Samstag gegessen 🤤😝
You are so inteligent
8:18 As a German that makes me wonder about the Butter ingredients in Canada. 🤔
😂😂 i do too!!
@@lifeingermany_ In Canada and the US Eastcoast you get Pastrami-Sandwiches everywhere, they use some kind of pickled meat. As far as I know, emigrants from Eastern Europa brought it to America ("Pastramă"). So delicious with cucumbers, Swiss Cheese or whatever. Unfortunately, this has not yet really caught on in Germany, you rarely see it here.
Europe prefers cultured butter (from fermented cream), while GB/US/CA's standard butter is made from pasteurised cream. The latter needs to be salted (or strictly refrigerated) to not spoil, that's why salted butter is so common over there.
@@HenryLoenwind wow! I had NO idea! Thanks so much for the answer! I have to tell my husband too haha he’s been wondering the same! PS. Salted butter is 🧈 just the BEST!
Canadian here living in Munich. I think she exaggerated the butter quality in Canada. It's just as good as it is here. The fat content is a little higher than the butter in Canada, but that is the only difference. Butter is hard to make bad given how easy it is to make.
I am laughing so hard! This is a fantastic video 😂🙏🏻😍
Put the asparagus peel in with the cooking water, when boiling the asparagus. And save the water to make asparagus creme soup ;)
And I was kind of missing the German all time favourite: Mettbrötchen!
Edit: Dang, I overlooked the fact that you avoid meat.
Mett Brötchen ❤️
As a german I miss the poutine and root beer from my visits in Canada.
And in Canada I really miss the german bread... With unsalted butter.
Wo ist das Schnitzel, Currywurst , Schweinshaxe und Bratwurst ??? Und was ist mit Pommes mit Mayo ?
Pommes esse ich liebe ohne Mayo 🤣 das machen wir nicht in Kanada! Nur Ketchup!
Und Fleisch mag ich nicht 🙈
Hi, nice that you enjoy German Food. You should try Reibekuchen with Rübenkraut, a syrup made from Zuckerrüben, Sugar Beet.
This was really Common after the war, because Honey, Kakao or Apples where rather expensive.
Give it a try.
Oh yeah, Rübenkraut (or as it is called here, Fenner Harz) that's also something she should try simply on bread (Mischbrot is best imho for it) with butter. Looks like molasses but has a very nice caramely taste.
Rübenkraut auf Weck mit Quark
Johannesbeer-Schorle is missing :-)
Soooo delicious!
You need to try a real German Currywurst or Bratwurst. Schnitzel is also a must have tried. And Flammkuchen.
Also have you ever tried Stockbrot? At Camping trips, festivals, longer schooltrips and so on you usually do it. Basically dough, put in a cleaned Stick and backed over an open fire. I personally love it. Is that common in other countries?
Ahhhh yes! I haven’t had Stockbrot since I lived in Freiburg! We’d do it on our longer hikes in the Black Forest 🥰 bringing back great memories! I don’t think it’s so popular in other countries! It seems like such a cool tradition to bring to Canada though!!
Ever tryed the classic YT-video "crazy german food" good old Mettbrötchen?
Another thing that should be tryed is the "Franzbrötchen".
The most delicious german pastry, ranked even above the Quarkhörnchen (crazy! I know!).
Sadly it's limited to northern germany, mostly hamburg. Riddles me to no end.
And a old Germany classic (If you ask me, it's more of a let down but 🤫): Birnen, Bohnen & Speck.
Well, enough of the german need for Streicheleinheiten, how about you tell us what canadian food we shouldnt miss?
Ovomaltine is from Switzerland. AFAIK, the composition of swiss Ovomaltine is different from german Ovomaltine. Have you ever tried red Löwensenf?
And thankfully we are sooo close to Switzerland! 🥰🤗 I think a number of the things I mention in the video aren’t necessarily from Germany, but you can often find it in Germany (and not in Canada) 🤩.
I’ve tried Löwensenf! Not red, but the one in the red tube - is it different?!
Der Punkt geht an die kleinen Kantons ...
@@lifeingermany_ If it HOT, it is the red one.
Try some Sauerbraten in a good Brauhaus. If you come to Köln, I would say Malzmühle. In Düsseldorf, they surely have good ones too.
Anyway, you will have to wait until corona stuff is ....
Oh Yes! Rheinischer Sauerbraten!!
Meine Grossmutter sagte immer: “friss das, was auf den Tisch kommt!” Opa nickte und traute sich kein Wort zu sagen! Und hatte keine weiteren Fragen, hatte schließlich noch nie viel was zu sagen...🤩
So wurde ich auch erzogen. Das hat mir als Kind nicht immer gefallen, aber heute bin ich froh darüber. Ich bin dadurch alles andere als mäkelig.
Das mit der Saftschorle hat mich ziemlich überrascht. Ich hatte irgendwie gedacht, man würde Sprudel und Saft weltweit mixen. :D
Vielleicht würde dir auch Weinschorle gefallen...
Hhaha ja na?! Ahhh ich liebe Weinschorle auch 🤤🍷
Und die Hefe-Getreide-Schorle nicht vergessen.
I remember every morning we used to eat fresh bread from beaker, but not in Canada 🇨🇦 I missed all the good meals
When you like Reibekuchen but not the apple sauce, you could try it with smoked salmon instead.
There are also different types of Potato Knödel in germany, so as example you can eat them with Sauerkraut and bacon-cream-sauce called Hoorische or Grumbeer-Spatze or Gefüllte (which means filled potato Knödel with chopped meat and herbs, also with the good old bacon-cream-sauce and Sauerkraut) in Saarland and in parts of Rheinland-Pfalz.
In general I would say Knödel are quite popular in middle and eastern Europe and they come in all different kind of flavors and fillings and even sweet ones you normally eat as a dessert.
You can eat Reibekuchen with sour-cream instead of apple sauce. 😀
You have to eat westphalian kale and savoy cabbage. It is also a fall dish and comparable to red cabbage. Not the taste of it, more the fall-dish-feeling.
How did you manage to stay so fit?😄
Have you ever tried "obatzda"? Its a bavarian cheese? I´m sure your going to make a video just of obazda after you tried :) Believe me sweety :)
🤩🤤 noooo I haven’t! But I LOVE cheese! So I’ll have to try it!!
@@lifeingermany_ Tell me after you tried :) I´m sure you´ll love it :)
Potato salad in the south is mostly made of vinegar and oil, but not with mayonnaise. I like that without mayonnaise much more, because it's lighter as sidedish for bbq.
I have to say, I like both in Germany! Love switching it up! 🙃
I would recommend "Pickert", this is typical for the eastern part of NRW in Lippe and "Grünkohl mit Bratkartoffeln und Pinkel" (or the sausage you prefer).
when i am abroad i always go with the local cuisine, i eat almost everything and enjoy all kinds of stuff, but the one thing i always miss is bread.
The best way to travel!!
Bautzner Mittelscharf is the way to go
robsche Develey Mittelscharf all the way!
Düsseldorf is the perfect place to eat Sauerbraten. I'm pretty sure you can get it in traditional Restaurants.
My second recommondation is Flönz - I'ts Blutwurst (blood sausage) which i really didn't like before i moved to Düsseldorf. But in the Düsseldorf/Köln area they do it right - yummy. You'll get that for sure and in best quality at all of the many brewery houses in Düsseldorf.
btw. you are not into Altbier?
Well... come to cologne and leave D'dorf behind as a bad habit -
@@mok1138 oh man
not again the same shit. I'm from Frankfurt and after 10 years Düsseldorf i'm back in Frankfurt. I never truely got the whole thing between D an K.

Don't make me think your name is program. Another btw: i loved the Köln carneval much better
Hey there, Jenna. If you love our butter and our bread then you must try our Pumpernickel. Just a thin slice of pumpernickel with a thick layer of butter. Enjoy!
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pumpernickel
I am german... There is only one german dish that i know, i cannot stand... And that is Kuddeln.. Part of the stomach of porc.. But there is an TH-cam video i recommend. She is trying Rollmops wich i really like. I eat them not only at carneval. th-cam.com/video/rHByrGj47aQ/w-d-xo.html
Rollmops is at 3.15 min
As a born and raised "Hesse" (what's the English expression for that, I wonder?) I strongly recommend you try "Franfurter grüne Soße mit Kartoffeln und Eiern" that's potatos and eggs with a sauce made of a dairy product mixed with seven specific urbs. But I must advise you to avoid the sauces you'd be able to get at a supermarket. Those can't hold a candle to the original you'd get in Frankfurt in a restaurant. So should you travel somewhere near Frankfurt treat yourself to that dish - I would imagine you'd like it right away.
Obatzda is a camembert cheese mixed with butter, finely diced onion, caraway seeds and sometimes pieces of boiled egg. I prefer without the egg. Easy to make at home. I ate tons of it in Bavaria. It's addictive with their wonderful bread.
"mett brötchen with onions,salt and alot of black pepper"(i know you try not to eat meat BUT it will give you the longevity and vigor of friedrich barbarossa and prowess of arminius xD).
you need butter - its cold in germany - you need some on your hips grins grins
Frikadellen! I only just learned that word this year...the sound of the word alone is so cute, that the meatball is sure to be amazing..I grew up knowing them as "klops" still tasty but..meh, klopse for dinner doesn't sound nearly as nice as Frikadellen! for dinner!
To us Bavarians that word is the hell on earth because of every cultivated person call them Fleischpflanzerln
@@TheGogeta222 In a past of franconia, for example Schweinfurt, and in bavarian swabia, for example Augsburg, every cultivaded person call them Fleischküchle.

if you like mustard you should go to the Senfmühle in cochem...as a child i had a really bad habit of sucking my thumb and to train me out of it my uncle tried to put mustard on it...and I LOVED it...since that day I put mustard on everything, my first internet passwords were mustard-related and I ate it by the spoon! and boy this Senfmühle for sure has cost me a bunch xD
Love all the things you talked about. I love fisch. I from Hamburg so fischbrötchen is a must 😎
I´ve been living in Bavaria for 30 years now (Born in the USA ). I really love Leberkäs, Brezen, Nürnberg Bratwurst. Some here really are addicted to Weisswurst (not a fan), which you might like with Süsser Senf.
Süßer Senf goes well with Leberkäse, too. And try Fränkische Rostbratwurst.
Try putting Butter in dark brand and then just a sprinkle of salt in top. Oh my god i love it so much!!!! Oh and try schöpfnudeln just fried in a pan with a little bit of applesauce! And there is so much more. Kartoffelsuppe with zwetschgenkuchen aaaaaah so many glawours and now i am hungry
As a advice you can make sweet or salty Reibekuchen so eighter you eat it with apple sauce or something like frischkäse and smoked salmon on top :)
Have you tried Mettbrötchen? Raw minced pork on a Brötchen! So good the best! My fav
Maybe the dark bread is the reason why you now eat more butter.
The heavy, dark rye bread contrasts with the butter (which tastes a little bit sweet), making it a very pleasant combination (especially on freshly baked bread).
And once your palate is used to it, you start to like it on its own.
Fresh Bread out of the bakery and Butter is all you need 🤤
