1:25 Ryan, the entire Northern hemisphere shares the same seasons while the Southern shares the opposite :D It's fall everywhere north of the equator and spring everywhere south of it. It doesn't go by country :D 6:30 kebab (Turkish, kabab Arabic) just means "grilled" or by extension grilled meat. Sis is a skewer so a sis kebab is what you googled at first. A "Döner Kebap" is grilled meat, veggies and shredded lettuce and sauce in a "pide" (Turkish leavened flatbread). The word "döner" actually means "to spin" because the raw meat spins on a giant skewer against a vertical grill before it gets shaven down bit by bit with every order of kebap. About German potato salad. Potato salad is one of the foods with the largest regional differences within Germany. Potato salad in Bavaria will not be the same as what you get in Northrhine-Westphalia which in turn is vastly different from what you'd get in Hamburg. Bavarian potato salad is made with stock broth!(!) and vinegar, lots and lots of herbs and glazed onions. West German potato salad is made with mayonnaise, pickle slices, onions and oftentimes apple slices. Hessian potato salad will have bits of bacon in it.

Seasons only "differ" between south and north. The earth circles around the sun, but if you put a giant stick through the south and northpole of the earth, it doesn't have a 90° angle to our circle around the sun. It is tilted a few degrees. When the northern half of the earth has summer, it's because the northpole is slightly pointing towards the sun, when we have fall our spring, the northpole is pointing neither towards the sun nor away from it. During winter the northpole points away from the sun. That's why you have extreme seasonchanges the further you go towards the poles and hardly any seasonchanges when you go to the equator. This is also why during winter the southpole has no daylight. As much as the earth spins around itself, the northpole stays in the shadow for months. While the northpole has it's months of darkness, the southernpole is pointing towards the sun and has no nighttime for months. Hence it is summer there. If the northpole points towards the sun, the southpole has months of darkness. Hence the winter/summer difference is between north and south, not how far east or west a country is. Hope that was understandable.

Spezi - it's just 50:50 or 60:40 coke mixed with fanta, it just tastes different depending on the brands, fanta is generally the sweeter component, so you'd want to go for mexican coke I suppose.

Pasta Salad (Nudelsalat) - since you looked it up beforehand, it's basically boiled noodles (duh) with Fleischwurst cubes (less processed Baloney, it literally translates to "meat sausage"), vinegar pickles and a mix of mayo and pickle juice as sauce.

The original Spezi is the one by Brauhaus Riegele. Then there is also the most popular one from Paulaner, I think they have bought the trade mark so they are also allowed to call the drink Spezi. But there is also Mezzo Mix by CocaCola or Schwipp Schwapp by Pepsi and many smaller breweries that also make a Cola Mix which is what they usually call the drink then. Also Germans cannot decide which article to use for Spezi. In the South of Germany (at least in parts of Bavaria) it's referred to as "der Spezi" other regions mostly say "die Spezi" or "das Spezi". Furthermore "der Spezi" can also be a phrase for referring to a friend.

The most right one in the picture "mezzo mix" is the brand from coca cola over. If you want to get more authentic examples of german food, i would recommend to search the food in german, instead to add the word german in the search. If you just add the word german, your search still shows you the american perspective on the dishes. For example. the results of "German potato salad" doesn't look that convincing. Next time you could try to translate the dish first and search the german term. It this case it would be "Kartoffelsalat" for the potato salad. and yes we have noodle salads as well. They are called "Nudelsalat" in german.

There are some boring beers even in Germany. But in the South of Germany there's a lot of variety, that have a very individual taste. The Döner was invented in the 70s by a Turkish immigrant in Berlin. Actually a lot of Germans think that it has been invented in Turkey. And Currywurst is usually pre-cut. Thanks a lot for always making us feel good about our country. 😊

Some german dishes you might never heard of: "Schwartenwurst" - when it's cold it's solid because it has a lot of gelatin. You heat it with some onions in a pan and eat it with potatoes and pickles. I love it! "Maultaschen" - are some kind of dumplings filled with minced meat and herbs. You can eat it panfried with some butter or as a dumpling in your soup. "Schlackwurst" - is a famous salami type sausage in eastern Germany "Bremer Knipp" - it is like "Schwartenwurst" but a little different "Grünkohl" - is a very famous dish in cold winter days. It is kale. You eat it together with "Kassler" (pickled and smoked pork meat) and a really really delicious light salty sausage called "Mettwurst"/"Mettwurstenden" AND I highly recommend "Bremer Pinkel". This sausage people only eat in northern germany. The ingredients are pork meat, bacon, oatmeal, onions and some spices. Some Germans think that the name "Pinkel" is funny because it's another word for peeing but it is absolutely delicious!!! A lot of people are doing "Grünkohltouren" in the cold days. You basically walk around with handcarts filled with snacks and lots of alcohol, get very drunk and at the end you have a big meal with kale and lots of umami flavors..

Pasta Salad has a german equivalent called "Nudelsalat" (lit. Pasta Salad). And I like that one more than Potato Salad, but the noodles need to have a certain consitency. We really need to get you to Germany so you can actually try all these foods.

And that with the seasons: Are the same as yours, minimally shifted in time. And what I always find very fascinating: Northern Germany, where I live, is on the same latitude as Edmonton/Canada and even the southernmost tip of Germany is at the level of Seattle, New York is on the same latitude as Florence/Italy and Miami is almost on the same latitude as Marsa Alam in Egypt (by the way a popular vacation destination for Germans).

The spring stuff she's talking about in the beginning is the typical spring cleaning, a habit of cleaning your entire house once spring starts, to get rid of all the dirt from last year without having to worry about your laundry freezing. 😅 "Frühjahrsputz" in German. edit: btw you'll need a P.O. box or something like that for people to send you stuff~

3:29 Kürbiskerne Semmel, Semmel is a South German/Bavarian Word for Brötchen, the Small Buns. Kürbiskerne are the Pumpkin seeds. So its a Bun with Pumpkin Seeds. Buns and Bread with Seeds in general, Poppy, Pumpkin, Sunflower, etc, are very popular in germany.

On the Döner, I know there is a place in LA but in general they often have problems with the FDA to get approval, because of the way its prepared. Because while it rotates during roasting, only the outside is cooked through, which the FDA consideres not safe. On the Spätzle, they are easy to make, so maybe try them at home. And the first thing she mentioned, the Kürbiskernsemmel (pumpkin seed bread roll) is really good. If you get your hands on good flour you can do these at home too, they fit the pumpkin season right now.

Hayley is already a great KZreadr. I know her personally from Munich and she is a lovely person.

I dont know why everyone talks about Paulaner- Spezi. For years i did not even know it was a brand-product. Spezi for me always was Coke mixed with (german-style) Orange Fanta. I personally like it with a tad more Cola than Fanta. You might be able to approximate the Taste by mixing a bit of Real good (not much bitterness, but also not watered down) Orange Juice with Coke. German Fanta tastes quite different from the American Version so mixing that in wont achieve nearly the same result. For me, the taste of pure Cola is quite flat, the sour fruitiness of the Fanta adds a lot to its taste and elevates it.

The skewers you showed are also available in Germany. The “kebab” is actually a large skewer of meat, the largest can weigh up to 150 kg. The meat is then cut off from this skewer and the finished kebab looks as if it was googled. And the full name of the kebab is “Doner Kebab”, which means “turning the skewer”. The kebab includes grilled bread, sauces of your choice, grilled meat, lettuce, red or white cabbage, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, corn and sheep's cheese. The ingredients are all freely selectable.

The kebab in flatbread was invented by a kebab shop owner living in Berlin. A doner kebab shop owner had only moderate success here. He wondered a little why almost no one came into his shop. One day, he observed pedestrians, like a pedestrian, walking past his shop. So he cut the flatbread and packed the meat and side dishes into the flatbread. The doner kebab in bread was invented. Actually, it's a Turkish hamburger.

The two main types of potatosalad in germany are with mayo and with vinegar but i prefere the ones with mayo. The mayo ones often are made with potato, hard boiled eggs (sliced or crumbled after boiling) and pickles wich makes them super easy to make your self. Also they taste the best after sitting in the fridge for one day

You can replace the double dots above the letter with an "e". ä->ae ö->oe ü->ue So for Döner you can type Doener to find better matches online. My personal favorite german dish is called "Schäuferle with Knödel" and a recommendation for everyone who is visiting a Biergarten.

while at it you can also bringt up the topic of what "Berliner" should be called xP

About the Döner Kebab, the Kebab is actually the meat that gets roasted on a giant spear (and of course has typical flavours). The meat might be chicken or calf, sometimes lamb (but then ususally minced meat, whereas the others are flat parts of real meat spiked on that giant spear. The "Döner" in the expression stays in fact for "pouch" (of bread). The origin of the Kebab meat is of course Turkey, where it gets served on a plate with some the pita bread and lots of salads. The special thing about the Döner Kebab was invented by some turkish emigrants running a restaurant in Berlin. And while they observed how so many people in Germany did not sit down for their meal, but ate lots of different dishes while walking around, they had the idea make a pouch out of the bread and filled that with the meat and vegeteables, insetad of slicing the bread and serve all on a plate. So you can hold your bread nicely holding the rest of your meal and take it with you, munching it on the way. And the rest is history, the dish itself is Turkish, the serving variant is german (and got exported very far). Fun fact, I am Luxembourgish, and even that can make a difference. It is a little detail, but sometimes just a few kliometers beyond the bourder may matter. I Luxembourgish Kebab restaurants, you always get a little fork to eat your Döner, not so in Germany. I studied in Bonn and was so used to that fork that I always asked for one, which made me infamous for exactly that in my regular restaurants, some teasing included. Back home, If I take my Döner with me to unpack and eat at home, I tell them I don't need the little fork, and half of the time they put one in the bag anyway... Also, in Germany the usually use large pita breads splitted into four Pouches, in Luxembourg small individual pita breads are the norm. The main difference to mac and cheese is that spätzle aren't noodles. They are made of a dough made with floor and eggs, that is quite soft and sticky in its consistency. The Spätzle (long ones) get scraped from a slat directly into the boiling water, and "Knöpfle" (litterally "little button") are formed by squiching smaller bulb-like-portions of the same dough, again, directly into the water. After they are done, they get treated similarly to noodles, but are not. They are also sometimes served pure, or with some butter, as side dish with some roast and gravy. You can of course buy them processed too. About the potato salad, depending on the region of germany, can taste very different. Biggest thing is if they make the sauce "clear" with mostly brine, or "opaque" (and heavier) with mayonnaise in it. Same goes for bacon pieces in it: some regions have, others rather not.

The pretzel also has its historical background. Namely, this is founded in medieval Germany. During this time, the king wished for a new pastry. So the baker invented the pretzel and sprinkled salt on it.

You should be careful with sugar free drinks, in many are instead Aspartam and similiar sweeteners, which are neurotoxins. The fun thing is, your body cannot get rid of those neurotoxins, meaning over the years that stuff adds up. And those neurotoxins have great health benefits, like Alzheimer and Parkinson. Enjoy!

I´m from Germany and one of my all time favorite foods is "Dampfnudeln", a sweet dish. If you were to translate it to word by word it means "Steam Nudels", but it has nothing to do with nudels. It is a dough with yeast almost like pizza dough, but a bit softer and sweet. And it is processed several times (when you want them to be really good). You let the dough rise for half an houer and you like "beat" it to make the bubbles smaller, repeat that three times and the dough is unbeleavable smooth. Then you put small balls of it in a pot with half an inch of milk, butter and sugar on the bottom. put on the lid and heat it up and "bake" the dampfnudeln inside. This is super tricky, because you mustn´t open the lid (than the cold air will cause the dough to loose it´s volume) untill they´re done. When you get them right theyr undersides are super crunchy and just a bit of butter-, caramel- sweet. And the dough it self is super tender... If you ever go to Germany find someone who can make these fresh (the bought ones in the store are just not the same).

What you were trying to say was "Kürbiskernsemmel" which means pumpkin seed breadroll and it's heavenly.

11:50 As I remember decades ago when currywurst (curry ketchup with a cut in pieces sausage like hot dog) came to German takeaways wooden toothpicks were used to pick and eat the sausage pieces and the french fries. Later on toothpicks were substituted by very small plastic forks. Nowadays plastic takeaway cutlery is prohibited in Europe. So Currywurst will come with very small wooden forks.

There are many softdrinks, which are cola mixed with orange. Coca-Cola version is "Mezzo Mix", the version from Pepsi is "Swip Swap". But in the end only you decide which taste the best for you.

It's called a Kürbiskernsemmel/Kürbiskernbrötchen (Pumpkin seed bread roll) with butter and salt

The bread she mentioned in the beginning is "Kürbiskernsemmel" which means pumpkin seed roll :) whole wheat roll with or based on pumpkin seeds

Pumpkinseed-Roll would be the most literal trasnlation, generally any seed rolls or breads are utterly amazing actually, Currywurst is usually served with little one way forks, which makes it sort of figner food and it's actually eaten at sports games in Germany german potato salad: sautee one onion and add some vegetable broth, the powdery kind and a littlest bit of water, pour over the boiled and sliced potatoes (about 500g to one kg) add as much mayonaise as you like (the potatoes should have a thin film of mayonaise but should not be drenched in it) and then you can add to taste: diced pickeled cucumber (Gewürzgurken), slices of egg, or pices of fleischwurst (a type of bologna sausage)- but there are as much variants of this as there are german families, it's a very traditional dish here

What she says is "Kürbis-Kern-Semmel" Which is a Bun with roasted Pumpkin Seeds on Top and special Dough. Really fantastic.

It's "Kürbiskerne-Semmel" what means "pumpkin seeds bun". "Semmel" is similar to "Brötchen" (you could translate this directly with small-bread, but it's a bun actually) it's just Berlin dialect.

You can try to mimic Spezi by adding a splash of orange juice into Coke. Also, slightly off topic fun fact: Coke in the USA and in Germany taste slightly different because they use different types of sweetener (HFCS vs sugar).
