In Germany, the vast majority speaks english. And if not, the bavarians are nice, esp. in these traditional restaurants - if needed, we will speak "with hands and feet" (myself German, living in Munich and a chef).

27:56 Beer, sausage salad and duck for 25 Euro´s is fair. Beer cost perhaps 3-4 Euro´s, sausage salad perhaps 7-8 Euro´s. And Munich is expensive.

man that duck looks amazing!

A fresh schnitzel means: the meat is not frozen, it is sliced, it is seasoned after ordering, it is breaded and cooked in a pan with unprocessed butter (or often clarified butter) just before serving. Meat, salt, pepper, flour, egg, breading, butter. That's it. No artificial additives. I would say this is standard procedure for a “good schnitzel” in Germany/Austria. Of course there are also pre-baked ones, but you can taste the difference.

You may notice, that the pannade of the schnitzels is lose: This is a sign for best quality, as the schnitzels must have been made just in time (à la minute) to be like that. An original schnitzel has to be made of veal, so porc, chicken or turkey are the "cheap version" of a schnitzel - but still great!

@jensbaranek8322

The suitable side dishes for schnitzels are: Potatoes (boiled, panned with butter and parsley - very traditional), potatoe salad (south: with vinaigrette, north: with mayonnaise) or french fries. IMHO, potatoe salad is the best choice, esp. in summer in a beergarden. And a green salad or cucumber salad (with dill).

@@jensbaranek8322 There are no Schnitzel form beef or lamb? An internet search says something different. Can you give a source of your knowledge that says there are no other schnitzels? Different internet sources say there are schnitzel from the 13th century others later, some say from the 16th century. You say "Wiener Schnitzel" is the original, but it was invented in the 19th century. So other schnitzel clearly were made centuries earlier. I guess you are focussed on "Wiener Schnitzel" but missed to write so.

Sauerkraut is so typically German that they called us "Krauts". It is super healthy, low in calories but lots of minerals and especially Vitamin C. Pretty much the only source of Vitamin C in medieval German winters.

An original Munich Schnitzel has to be veal (not pork!) coated with a mix of sweet mustard and horse radish under the finish of breadcrumbs from pretzels. Andechser is actually a beer brand by the Benedectine monastic brewery in Andechs (upper Bavaria); their most famous beer is the dark Doppelbock (a Bock beer is a strong beer, the Doppelbock has more than 7% alcohol). And in any Munich restaurant you'll have personnel speaking English very well, which will translate the menu to you (like she did at least try here, but "Leberkaes" is really hard to translate - it is the thing in 11:17). Traditional Bavarian food is made for hard working people, therefore much carb and much protein. Currywurst (curry sausage) was invented in Berlin after WW II by a street stand operator using ketchup (maybe also Worcester sauce) and curry powder she had obtained from British soldiers.

It is the original Vienna schnitzel that must be veal. The original Munich schnitzel is usually pork coated with sweet mustard and horseradish before it is breaded as all schnitzels are - it is good. The schnitzel originates from Vienna, Austria. Guten Appetit !! Greetings from a polyglot U.S. American born in Vienna and residing in Munich for a few decades.

Living in Munich: So true, but esp. in these traditional restaurants you will always get a handmade and proper quality.

It depends on which state you are visiting. Bavaria has a completely different cuisine than Schleswig-Holstein. What you should definitely try in Germany is the currywurst and the Döner kebab. Another thing you should definitely try is the Black Forest Cherry gateau. There is a video series called Cooking the world and it's mainly about German cuisine. I'll give you the link there so you can look around at your leisure. www.youtube.com/@cooking-the-world Just as a little information, there are 1,520 different types of sausage in Germany. The Federal Republic is world-famous for its types of sausage and ham: Thuringian bratwurst, bockwurst, currywurst, liverwurst, white sausage, meat sausage - nowhere is the variety greater than here. You don't have to learn German. German is often not easy for native speakers. So why learn our language which is not easy to learn. What you should be able to do is say "Guten Tag"or "Auf Wiedersehen"or "Danke" and "Bitte". Most Germans speak English, especially in larger cities.😊😉 Furthermore, most of your types of beer were founded by Germans, but as far as I know, you don't have the German Purity Law for beer. Therefore your beer is adulterated - we would call it "Pisswasser"😅😅. Real good German beer is brewed according to the purity law and anyone who drinks it will immediately notice the difference. By the way, in northern Germany we like our beer a little more bitter than southern Germans. By the way, the currywurst was invented by Herta Heuwer from West Berlin after the Second World War. Unfortunately there is no uniform price for fries with currywurst. But you should expect 5-10 euros.😊

When i go to my local "fry smith" or "Frittenschmied" i pay 3.50 Euro for Currywurst with Fries and Mayonnaise (or whatever you want and is available). But that is exceptionally cheap. Others want more than that.

Including tips, that 25 EUR is 28 EUR max. Always have to keep that in mind as an American.

Schuhbecks Eissalon: Mr. Alfons Schuhbeck is one of the most famous chefs in Germany and had several companies here. But actually he is in prison (3+ years) due to tax fraud and bankrupt!

You better mix the sausage with the mashed potatoes. The Sauerkraut solo... 😁

I come from northern Germany, where Hamburg is as well. Honestly, I've never seen someone who eat this, or even visited a restaurant in my entire life that came up with the strange idea of serving schnitzel with fried eggs. 🤣 I don't know why the heck they call it Hamburg Schnitzel. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Each area of Germany has its own specialties. Take a look at the videos of Deana and Phil, a German/American couple who often make videos about local specialties from all over Germany during their travels. Their Christmas market videos are also interesting.

Ok, first of, i'm a Bavarian and spent over a decade in Munich. The Dude went to Bergwolf (which a former co-worker of mine loves) and to the Augustiner Bräustuben, or "Breistuam" as i'd say ;) These are solid choices for Munich, Augustiner makes the best beer imho, so going there or to the "Augustinerkeller" makes sense. Apart from that i'd recommend trying a traditional bavarian breakfast, i.e. Weißwürste, süßer Senf, Brezen und Weißbier (=veal sausages, sweet mustard, pretzels and wheat beer). The Leberkäse also is one of Bavaria's most popular foods and is often eaten in a bread roll, however it depends on the butcher whether we enjoy it or not^^ And for the restaurants i'd add "Lindwurmstüberl" (for it's view) and "Atzinger" or even "Zur Schwalbe" (if you want to bowl and eat).

"London - no problem, they all speak English" No shit Sherlock, they speak English in fucking England 😂😂😂

Some Potatosalad are made with Vinegar and not Majo. So its normal to have cucumber in it

Compared to the other food video you reacted to mark wiens went to good restaurants. Although currywurst is not a big thing in munich, he went to the most popular location to get it. Its more popular if you go farther north in germany, more central to northern germany.

That meatloaf is called leberkäse and is similar to a thick slice of fried bolony

You surely have to consider that the prices are final, other than in the US, there you are expected to add about 20% (even more) for tipping and all taxes are included. So the prices are really decent and fair.

@combatduckie

true, but remember contrary to what some uneducated people sometimes write on the internet, tipping IS expected at German table-served restaurants, too, however, not as much moneywise as in the U.S. Usually, in Germany you simply round up the bill and give somewhat around 5-15 %, which is the "standard" tip percentage in Germany. E.g., if your bill is 26 Euros you give 30, if it s 18 Euros, you give 20, if at a cafe it is 8 Euros, you give 10 Euros....etc...To tip ZERO is considered VERY RUDE and chavy in Germany...and the waitress will think she did something wrong because you didn t tip her anything.

So at least my experience, yours may be different. Generally I also give a small tip, not only in restaurants, for example also at the hairdresser, if the service was better than expected in my eyes.

Dont reject german bread. Your loss. xD

The ultimate food tour? and in Munich? The guy should rather have done a Germany-wide tour. that would have been ultimate. Bratwurst (roasted sausage) and schnitzel are not only available in Munich. I don't like Bavarian white sausages at all. I'd rather eat the delicious Mühlenbecker Krakauer or the Rostbratwurst (roasted sausage). There are doner kebabs in different variations, there are spaetzle, there is pizza (sometimes with fish fingers), there are casseroles, there are sandwiches, bread with meat (at medieval festivals), mushrooms with onions, or our Mediterranean fish specialities here in the north. Baked fish in batter, or lapskaus with cucumbers and fried potatoes, fish meatballs, crabs on bread, meat salad, potato salad, or various salads (with mayonnaise), salmon in a roll or rollmops (sour herring fillet wrapped around a cucumber), and much more.
