Definitely worth a try!

    You are in the Cologne area - but the dishes you ate aren't really the usual ones of that area. Käsespätze actually are a Swabian dish from the Stuttgart area - the Flammkuchen a dish from the nearby french Alsace region and the Knuckles bavarian. I pin "Rheinischen Sauerbraten with Klößen" - marinated and braised beef with dumplings - as something examplary for the region you ate in. If you get near Frankfurt try "Frankfurter Grüne Soße" (a joghurt dish with 8 herbs served with potatoes and eggs) or "Handkäse mit Musik" (a special marinated cheese with a lot of onions) - both are usually served vegetarian. (There is special sausages of the area, too). Drink Eppler (cider) with it. When you pass the swabian area on your trip to Italy try some Maultaschen - they are a pasta dish in which meat is hidden - or Spätzle as a side dish to all kind of meats with sauce or again as Käsespätzle.
    Like with every dish - how good a Schnitzel is has a lot to do with the quality of the meat and the cook.
    At home we used to have the "Kartoffelpuffer" as a side dish to hearty soup on cold days and "killed" the rest of them with apple sauce after that.

    The dish I most associate with Germany is "Rote Grutze," a fruit pudding that has as many variations as trifle. I first tasted it in Hamburg staying with the family of the German exchange student who spent a year at my high school in Michigan. Her aunt and uncle put me up for longer visits than they might have liked in 1966 and 1968, and I've stayed in touch with Wiltrud and her family ever since. Wiltrud e-mailed me a few days ago that "Tante Ingried," who decided it was easier to live with a misspelled first name than try to get German bureaucracy to correct her birth certificate, died just before Christmas at age 94, so the dessert I couldn't get enough of has been on my mind. She was one of the most warmhearted people I've ever known, and her great joy in life was making sure her family and guests were well-fed, I'm making a contribution in her memory to one of the food banks here in Los Angeles, which are struggling as badly as everywhere else. Frohe neues Jahr an alle!

Order veal not pork, it's a bit more expensive but much tastier. Also, if your able, return to Germany in the spring to enjoy asparagus at it's freshest. Both white and green varieties are very lovely.

    Oh, and there's the most important meal of the day - Frühstück - breakfast. Dark flavorful breads, crusty rolls (with butter and jam), meats, cheeses, Musli, coffee, juice and more. And the first meal of the day is often provided gratis at your hostel or hotel. I digress. Getting fairly hungry now. Hoping to return to Germany soon.

      The original Wiener Schnitzel (Vienna Schnitzel) is made from veal, but you can make good Schnitzel from pork meat, too! The problem is that a lot of restaurants offer Schnitzel as a cheap dish and so their meat isn't good and the preparation isn't good either. If you get good pork and prepare it right, I personally even prefer the pork Schnitzel to veal Schnitzel.

      Thats my favorite dish too but there are at least two kinds of sauerbraten, the one with the very sweet-sour red sauce and raisins in it i think its the "rheinische Art" (Rhineland-Style) and the not sweet verision where the Braten/Meat is roasted and the sauce is brown and sour-salty and full of roast aroma, which i like best. I think it is the "sächsische Art" (Saxon-Style). Potato dumplings/balls ("Klöße"/"Knödel") are a MUST.

It should have a hint of sweetness, like a good sweet and sour dish should have and not actually be sweet.

      The original "Rheinischer Sauerbraten" as it was serven in and around Cologne for manymanymanymany years, is HORSE meat. That itselfe is so different than anything you can get anywhere. The meat is marinaded for a couple of days in a mixture of whine, water and vinegar, spiced with salt, whole pepper, whole mustard seads, bay leaf and juniper berries. The sauce is a "normal" gravy, but from time to time, and from region to region you get it sweetened with sugar beet syrup, apple butter, Priten (a kind of gingerbread, mostly in the region around Aachen) and yes, someplaces also put (destoned and destemed!!) raisins in the sauce.
      At this point in time only very few places still use horse meat for Sauerbraten, or horse meat in generall, but it is something else and realy worth a try

    Germany has a lot to offer.
    Every region in Germany has their own variety of food. The north usually is heavy on fish, the west is influenced by France, especially in the wine regions (Rheinlandpfalz), and so on.
    If you happen to come across Rheinland Pfalz, be sure to come at the end of August or early September, when wine harvest season starts. Local i ran reccomend "Federweißer mit Zwiebelkuchen".
    Its basically a really young wine, and Zwiebelkuchen is a germanized version of Quiche Loraine.

      If she wants a Wiener Schnitzel yes... Not every Schnitzel is a Wiener Schnitzel and German Restaurant often does not even have Wiener Schnitzel (why would they they are not in Vienna after all). The thing they are selling is mostly a schweine (Pork) or Hühnerschnitzel (chicken) a Wiener Schnitzel is made with kalf. Plus germans and austrians serve Schnitzel differently..
      While austrians are so proud of their Wiener Schnitzel (which is quite good) germans have many many more very tasty variations like Jägerschnitzel (with mushrooms and sauce) or Paprika Schnitzel (with a spicy paprika sauce).

    • @saja63
      @saja63 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      @@blackforest_fairy You're right with Wiener Schnitzel made of kalf. But in Vienna we have Jägerschnitzel or Paprika Schnitzel too, but they come without breadcrumb-crust. The crusted ones are usually served without sauce, just with some salad and a slice of lemon on the side. I honestly don't see why you would like a breadcrumb-crust that's crunchy when you coat it with sauce anyway so it gets all soggy.
      Just my personal opinion!! I have lots of friends in Germany and some friends from Germany that live in Vienna now and have discussed these things quite a lot with some of them :D

      I never understood why austrians have such a hard-on for thin schnitzel. They usually are quite dry and even if they aren't the thin layer of meat gets completely overwhelmed by the taste of the flour. A schnitzel needs to have a certain thickness to it to remain as juicy and tasty as possible.

    1. WHITE SAUSAGES with sweet mustard, Pretzels and a Weißbier ((southern) Bavaria),
    2. franconian Bratwürste (especially the little ones Nuremberg style) with Sauerkraut, dark bread and mustard if you like,
    3. Schlachtplatte (bacon, blood sausages and liver sausage in Sauerkraut) with potatoes - sounds terrifying but I could sleep in it
    4. cold dinner plate: sausages, smoked bacon and cheese with pickles and bread and mustard/horseradish
    5. warm Leberkäse in a roll or with potatoe salad (and mustard) - with an egg sunny side up on top its called Strammer Max
    4. beergarden food (Bavaria): Obazda (spreadable and spiced mix of soft cheeses), pretzels and fresh onions or Krautsalat
    5. Wurstsalat: swabian, swiss or bavarian style - with dark bread
    6. check out more pastry especially fruit cakes and our cheese cake (it's not cheese, dont worry), bests gateaus in Franconia and Vienna (famous Sachertorte), and of course Christmas time pastries, cakes, ginger bread (Nuremberg Lebkuchen!)
    7. bavarian standard dish: Schweinebraten with Sauerkraut and Knödel (dumplings from potatoe or rolls)
    6. mushrooms in creamy sauce with dumplings (from rolls or pretzels)
    7. Rindsrouladen: rolled thin beef, pickles and mustard inside, with dark sauce and potatoe dumplings
    8. northern Germany: Sahnehering, Bismarckhering, Matjeshering (all with bread and butter maybe)
    9. pretzel with butter (and thin slices of Emmentaler cheese maybe)
    10. Apfelstrudel: bavarian style = sweet main dish (in vanilla sauce), Viennese style = desert (with whipped cream on top)
    11. Lammbraten: similar to Schweinebraten, spiced a little bit differently, red cabbage instead of Sauerkraut, also with potatoe dumplings. I prefer Lamb over pork. The meat itself has a different taste and lamb it is not as much doped with antibiotics as mass produced pigs are, also less fat
    12. Hirschbraten = roast vension (similar to Lammbraten and Schweinebraten)
    13. Forelle und Karpfen: trout or carp, poached, grilled or smoked - with potatoes (Oktoberfest / Biergarten: "Steckerlfisch" = trout on a stick, half grilled half smoked, simple but delicious)
    14. Spargel mit Sauce Holondaise: white or green asparagus with creamy sauce and potatoes (better during asparagus season)

    I would love to have foreign guests and cook for them all the German dishes they want. It makes me happy showing them the beauty of our food. I will, however, emphasize what others have mentioned before: the meals you tried are popular for different regions of Germany. It's good for you that you got a chance to try them without having to travel all around the country. But if you are looking for the same stuff you had but want it to play in another league, then you'd have to travel to the places where they are most popular. Schweinshaxe and Schnitzel in (southern) Bavaria, Käsespätzle und Kartoffelpuffer in Swabia. Honestly it makes my heart bleed to watch people pour ready-made gravy over a breaded Schnitzel. It's how Italians must feel when Germans put Ketchup on Pasta Carbonara.

    My favorite German food was my grandmother's knoedel. Now authentic German knoedel is merely dough balls made of stale bread , egg, and parsley,, salt, and pepper. boiled in water. My grandmother added finely diced sopporcetta salami, bacon, and ham, as well as finely diced celery and onion, and finely chopped parsley and celery leaves. She mixed the stale bread with egg and a dash of milk then added the meat and veggies, salt and pepper.. She made balls the size of baseballs and added them to boiling chicken broth. They were served in a bowl and covered with broth. One or two was a meal with a salad on the side and a beer. or glass of ine They were great on a cold winter's night
    Another favorite of mine is Jaegerkohl or Hunter's Cabbage. It's a dish of sausages, sliced potatoes and cabbage cooked in a pot with a bit of water, and some cider vinegar, then plated in a bowl and topped with a dollop of sour cream, cracked black pepper, and a dash of more cider vinegar. Served with rye bread, butter, and cold ale or beer. We have it quite often have it in the autumn and winter months

    - Pea soup (a thick stew made of peas, served with sausage. You can often find it on winter/christmas markets, sometimes sold for charitable causes)
    - Franzbrötchen (a cinnamon pastry, buy in Hamburg at any bakery)
    - Rübenmuß (mashed Rutabaga, served with a type of smoked ham. You probably need to know a North-German mom to get it, tho. It's not really a restaurant food, but absolutely delicious)
    - Pears, Beans and Bacon stew (another hard to get by but very authentic northern dish. Classic northern salty/savory+sweet flavor profile)

      @@CrossHDx Yep, trying to eat raw ground beef in North America is a bit like having a death wish. The ground beef (or pork) you can buy at a store has a "best before date" of about 2 days in the future most of the times (and that's the one made in stores - which means no protective atmosphere in the package, just simple air) - and normally BIG warning labels on it to make sure you cook it thoroughly until "an internal temperature of 160 degree Fahrenheit (or about 71 degree Celsius) is reached." (and they for sure know why they put that warning sticker on)! :-O
      Just as a reminder: the store made fresh ground beef in Germany (which you can use for Mettbrötchen) has a shelf life of 6 to 8 HOURS!

    Jägerschnitzel (the Schnitzel with mushroom sauce) always was my favorite version. One: I love mushrooms and two: even if it's not your lucky day and the Schnitzel is a bit dry (looked like yours was - sorry) you can just drench it with the sauce. 😁I don't think I have a favorite dish. Depends on what I am in the mood for, how hungry I am and even the weather (if it's really cold I like Eintöpfe with carrots or lentils - both with sausages of course - for example). I really enjoy sausages and everything you tried in this video. Greetings from Germany!

    I was going to make a few remarks, but checking the comments below, everybody else said most of it all, already! - Except the "mac & cheese" quip! You have to appreciate, that "Spätzle" aren't just any pasta - these 'noodles' are freshly hand made. You have the dough rolled thin on a board and you 'scrape' them into the boiling water with a knife. There's skill in doing this right. So, while 'mac & cheese' comes plastic-wrapped and (probably) microwaved, Spätzle are freshly handmade.

    Girl, you are so wrong about the green salad that comes with the Käsespätzle.
    It's essential.
    In the South we eat it like this: Put the salad on top of the Käsespätzle and make sure that any bite has some salad to it.
    The combination of the heavy Käsespätzle and the sourness and freshness of the salad makes it much better than the Käsespätzle alone.
