Knoppers is from the same brand like "Storcks Riesen" Storck, August Storck and they made other great sweets like Werthers Echte (Werther is the foundingtown in Westfalen Bielefeld area, Halle/Westfalen, known for a international Tennis tournament) Toffifee, Dickmann s, Lachgummi etc pp. But the company now is bassed in my Hometown the wonderful Berlin.

I am a big fan of three types of snacks in Germany that you don't see elsewhere: cherry juice, cherry syrup, cherry flavoured sweets. Quitten (quince) jelly, quitten syrup etc. This is incredibly delicious and not available in other countries, and Waldmeister(Sweet Woodruff). This appears as syrup to mix with water to make a long drink, or as a flavour of sweets. It is extremely nice and I haven't seen it outside Germany .

In most of Europe, especially western and southern Europe, you will find Lidl and Aldi supermarket that sell you German food (sometimes even in German packages!) and are a good source for German sweets and German bread (an important omission in your video). Living in Portugal as a German since some months, I appreciate to have Aldi and Lidl nearby.

That's why we drink it with milk, because it would be quite bitter without. One of the things I had to let go when I came to live here, was my tea habit, because despite all the variety of teas available, none of them can pick you up like a good old fashioned cuppa.

In the north of Germany there is a huge tea culture, whenever I drank It I found the flavour/strength even more intense than the tea we drink here in the UK. It’s a black tea called Ostfriesen-Tee, you can find it in any German supermarket. Add rock sugar, steep it for 3-5 minutes and then add cream (not milk) - it can be a whole lovely ceremony and I highly recommend 😊

@kaddy0306

Thats nonsense, because we have our own tea culture on the north coast (Ostfriesland) with strong tea and cream or milk too. Just because they don't do this where you lived doesn't mean they drink tea everywhere in germany like this. Any why are you forced to let go of your habits??? There are pretty many good tea stores in germany with around 300 variations of tea, you can also order it online from every part of the world. Such a nonsense.

I think it's worth mentioning Schnaps. That's what I take as gifts on trips to the US, high-end schnaps. Germany has wine regions (southwest), beer regions (southeast), and schnaps regions (everywhere else). They come in sweet varieties (pear, apricot, plum, raspberry, etc), herbal varieties (everywhere has its own kräuterlikör, often better than Jägermeister), and the downright crazy ones like Vogelbeere, Topinambur, or Enzian. My overall favorite is kind of Christmasy and from Austria: Zirben schnaps, made from pinecones.

Danke für die Empfehlungen. Die Snacks passen zu meinen Enkelkindern, die Teesorten passen zur ganzen Familie. Du leistest gute Arbeit. Alles Gute für dich. 💫💫💫💫

I am Swedish. My mother lived in Germany before and she told me that in Germany they have licorice in like ”adults only” places in the shop and in pharmacists, while in Sweden its on the regular candy section. I’m only 14 and I can easily eat salt licorice

Not only do I now know what to get when I go visit my home country, I know now what snacks to buy when my German friends come to visit

When I visited Bremen, I would always go to the Hachez store for souvenirs. Their chocolate is just great! My favourite in Germany. Good thing that it can be found in any Rewe. And for tea - TeaGschwendner ❤ it's the best tea shop I've been to in Europe

it´s true about wine! I love German wine, also from Rheinland-Pfalz region :)

I swear all I want when I have a cold is a bottle of cherry juice. Took me ages to find it in a Tesco in London somewhere covered in dust behind the dozens of brands of cranberry juice 😂 Once I hosted a Japanese exchange student and he kept eating different kinds of haribo every day with a sparkle in his eyes that there are much more different types available here and it's so so cheap compared to Japan. He definitely gained a couple of pounds in Germany. 😊

Three years ago it was Haribo Colorado, but now I'm more into Lachgummi Softies.

When I was a child (1960’s - 1970’s) at Christmas time only, we used to be able to get these little chocolate candies (usually sold individually) called “Ice Cubes” from Germany. They were the best tasting chocolates I’ve ever had. I miss them greatly. When I get a time machine, I’m going back to Christmas 1971 and buying the all!!!

I always buy a whole loaf of bread when I return from Germany. It's possible, because I'm back in only a few hours. :D

Well, Bahlsen, Riesen, Knoppers, Lachgummis (all different kinds of them), Maoam and also the peanut snacks (maybe not that brand, couldn't properly see it here) are all pretty much standard in all grocery stores here in Austria ;D Okay, yeah, I admit, most things we have here are available in Germany and vice versa. Your tea drawers look like mine, I probably have around 30 different teas at home ;D Also yes, us Austrians love smoked sausages. I know I do. Also Leberwurst. I now want Leberwurst.

Missing marzipan from the list. You can get in other countries too, but seems to be quite popular in Germany. And I love it!❤ Also, I'm originally from Latvia, and can relate with the tea loving culture. We keep dozens of different teas in our cupboards, as we believe that there's a tea for every illness. Although, many would disagree that actual tea is only made from the tea plant and the rest is herbal infusion.

Hey Love the videos! English guy also living in Germany for about 12 years now. In Britain people only consider black or green tea to be real tea, and if you ask for green tea most people will look at you a bit strange. the majority of people in Britain when they say "tea" what they actually mean in black tea (usually pg tips [because it is the strongest]) often with milk in it. fruit teas aren't really considered tea, and they're rarely drank because there are a lot of different cordials and syrups to add to water to make it taste of fruit. Even though with just green or black tea you can still have hundreds of different types weather its assam or darjeling, oolong or gunpowder tea. i'm not saying i agree or disagree but it's just what i've noticed. I do like any tea though, tasty warm water :)
