11:09 oh our fish fingers. Our bestseller from the North Sea coast. And in case you're wondering whether they contain real fish. Yes, they contain real fillet pieces that are delivered in frozen blocks. We store them temporarily. Then they go into production. They are cut to size while frozen, breaded and deep-fried and then flash-frozen. Not all colourings are plant-based. There are also artificial colourings. ÖKO-Test has written this about them. QUOTE: Are food colourings dangerous? While natural colourings are generally harmless, artificial (synthetic) colourings are controversial. Azo dyes are synthetic colourings and can be found in sweets and drinks. Azo colourings include Tartrazine (E 102) Quinoline yellow (E 104) Yellow-orange S (E110) Azorubine (E 122) Cochineal red A (E 124) Allura red AC (E 129) The consumer advice centre warns against these colourings as they are suspected of causing pseudo-allergies. Typical symptoms of these intolerance reactions are asthma, skin oedema and hives.

Coca cola also is less sweet and made with real sugar, i think you call it the fancy coke ? Its similar to the cocacola in mexico. If you are new in germany, try our bread and cakes at the local bakery.. Also, most german speak a decent english, maybe with a heavy accent but we do speak english. Dont be afraid to ask for help. If you buy bottles, coke, fanta, beer and so on, dont forget to return them! you pay between 8 and 25 Eurocent deposit (Pfand) for one bottle and you get it back when you return it. 25 cent might not be much but it adds up! And to make it a bit more complicated, not every bottle has a deposit on it, for example, hard liqueur never has pfand on it.

Fanta is NOT anything like a carbonated orange juice. It's a soda, still. With 3% juice by law and lots of added sugar. Also coloring, which is not the one used in the USA, because that's illegal in the EU. But it is less sweet, does not contain corn syrup and is fruitier in flavor. The original Fanta recipe was developed by Coca Cola Germany in WW2 because they got cut off due to the embargo and had to get creative. So they took the ingredients they could actually source with no sea trade and war raging. Which was mainly apple cores and orange peels. So no straight pressed juice, but remnants cooked out of fruit waste. Still took off and held them together till after the war. Fun fact on the sugar: Germany, not being precisely tropical, can not grow sugar cane. However, selective breeding of root vegetables produced sugar beets, which can be grown in cold climates and produce lots of sugar locally. This is generally where all refined sugar in Germany comes from. Cane sugar is specifically labeled and generally more expensive as it's an imported product. You often see what may look like molasses on store shelves. That would be a thickened sugar beet juice product sold under various names, the biggest brand being Grafschafter Goldsaft. Tastes and looks a bit like blackstrap molasses, but it's cooked turnip juice and not a byproduct of sugar production, but something Germans make on purpose, as a bread topping.

One thing worth pointing out is that EDEKA is kind of a premium grocery store. - So the prices for food at EDEKA are somewhat higher than in other grocery stores like ALDI / LIDL / PENNY etc. In my personal opinion, it is worth it when shopping for fresh stuff like fruits and vegetables here the price is justified since EDEKA offers a higher quality / fresher products than the a fore mentioned so called discounters. Meat quality is also better at EDEKA, although I'd prefer a local Butcher for buying quality meat, I admit it is more expensive, but quality wise leagues above grocery stores. ...

It's a lottery to get fresh ones ;-)) But they only taste really good fresh.

Not EVERY supermarket in Germany has a Bakery attached to it, alot of them do but we have Small Supermarket that dont have any bakery attached, but usually they still have a "bakery section" inside the store with "freshly rebaked frozen things" but they taste really good aswell. Should try Our Bread its really good and not as sweet as u know from the USA

Sodastream: it seems most Americans don't know about Pfand or things like these . When you buy this container as a new one, they cost more because you pay for the container itself, the metall construction. When you go with an empty one to the EDEKA you only pay for the filling, not for the bottle. Because you gave a bottle and get a bottle. The same when you buy campinggas(propan I think) in big containers here in Germany.

The latter 3 are participants in the European Economic Area (EEA) where the same rules are applied. That includes minimum food standards as well. A single member state can have higher standards but never can lower them below that minimum. As for what standard is better I don't really know.

Those things in the "exotic" aisle are usually in very small packages and horribly overpriced. If you are not just looking to try stuff once, I suggest finding a specialty store. In most bigger cities, there are little corner shops that specialize in authentic products from specific countries or broader areas, i.e. the Turkish grocer, Asian markets or African stores. Stuff there ist most of the times cheaper, in bigger packaging and of better quality than the "authentic" stuff from the German supermarkets and you can find some fresh produce you won't see in the supermarket. And if you are lucky, you get cooking tips and tricks during checkout.

Interesting. I'll be looking out for this more now

At the self check out you can only chevk out if you have a bank card ...you only have a card when you are old enough to drink. If you pay at the register they ask you how old you are and wanna see your Personalausweis. And that was not apfelschorle...you pointed at almdudler that s a herb lemonade, super yummy, has only the color in common with apfleschorle 😊

The EU has now banned non-GMO now in foods. No more round up in food. I was in Stuttgart cleaning out my mothers house in October and I noticed a lot of the German foods are graded on the label from A to F.

The enthusiasm is palpable

Good overview. It should be stressed that the store brands (EDEKA, REWE, ALDI, Kaufland; LIDL, NETTO) offer different varieties. EDEKA and REWE definitely serving a larger variety of 'healthier' products. As alway, you have to know your way around.

Applejuice does not have bubbles. Apfelschorle does, because it's watered with sparkling water. What you are looking at at 21:20 is Almdudler. This is a herb Soda and has got nothing to do with Applejuice.

Just a tip on how to pronounce „Gries“. It is pronounced like „grease“. the German „i“ is pronounced like the English „e“. The „e“ after an „i“ in Germany just indicates that the sound longer, it is not pronounced after an „Ii“ and it is silent. However, if you find the order reversed as in „Ei“ (egg) it is pronounced like the English „I“ . Hope that helps. Oh and btw Almdudler is NOT Apfelschorle ! It might look like it, but is is not. It is in fact a soda with herbs and it is from Austria, but Germans like it too. And of course there is PLENTY of apple juice in Germany - in the juice section. Clear apple juice and also natural apple juice which is not clear. I think in America they call it cider. And be aware if you find „Cidre“ in Germany, which is French and it also contains alcohol. Finally I know who buys Pufuletti! I tried them ones, never again - for me. Just horrible. But it’s good so everybody can find something to their taste.

Gut erklärt danke

But Not that Bavaria music please,but its funny😂

For your daughter, you have to look for beverages where "Nektar" is written on it. It is juice with normal water. It is usually not in the packages like soda but in the ones like juice (also located where the juice is), but we usually buy juice and stretch it to nektar of our prefered concentration or make it into a "Schorle" with sparkly water. Saft = Juice Nektar = Juice with water Schorle = Juice with sparkly water

Nektar is juice / puree + water + sugar so for your kids you should also dillute Nektar with water too reduce the sugar content. Nektar has about the same sugar content as juice but because it is mostly water they add regular refined sugar to make it sweet again. That is mostly done for fruits too expensive like passion fruit or too puree like as mango to be sold as 100% fruit juice. Or they do it to rip you off like these drink boxes of orange "drink" for kids are often water + sugar + a little juice

Try "Kiwi Beeren" you wash them and eat them with the shell like a berry its translated to "kiwi berry"

Deep L is a good translater.

ohh the thin about apple juice for your daughter in germyn we have 2 ways to have applejuice we have apfelsaft/applejuice and we have Apfelschorle /applejuice in sparklingwater so if u look at the fanta cola carbonated drinks section ur gonna find the Apfelschorle and ins the nature juice section often right next to the drink section u will find ypour clasic aplejuice but be carefull we have the sweetened apflesaft and we have Naturtrüb thats basicly jsut ass it comes pressed aple juice ^^

I’d like to see price comparisons to the us, like how much the gluten free or plant based “meat” products cost there

6:57 it's wipped and sugared egg white, on a wafer and covered by chocolate

Very nice video! Your Aldi has so much more than ours in our village. lol. The flat bread is really nice, I like it as a wrap with humus, pickled beetroot, kale, olive oil and balsamico vinegar. Or with cream cheese and Preiselbeeren (cranberries?), very messy, but delicious. It's great that you are vegan too! Aldi should also have vegan ready meals in the fridge, ours does. One thing I find annoying though is that only a few products are labelled vegan/vegetarian, because the companies don't have to. This is so much better in the UK, I wonder if they use these labels in the US too. All the best! :)

If you want vegan whipped cream, you can use aquafaba, the water from a can of chickpeas. You can whip that and use it as a vegan replacement.

I think you also have to add that taxes are included in the price in germany

I already wondered where you picked Up so many German words until you mentioned 3 years of German classes. Why you just Go to classes again? That would be a nice Hobby and you have good opportunities to practice.

Funny fact we have alots of similar product in Canada !

well apfelsaft is in the juice section not the soda section

Globus in the Ramstein area is still the best.

Buttermilch is almost similar to Kefir, it is like whey. Schaumküsse are like a mixture of whipped sugar and a little bit of cram, usually with a dark chocolate covering, but you can get them in white chocolate too, or any colour, when handmade. The "cheese-gate" is the reason, why there is NO, not a single type of really good us-american cheese, especially not fresh ones. Scharf, when it comes to food, is not spicy, but "hot" - spicy in german would be "würzig", meaning that you get a lot of flavours, but it isn't necessarily "hot", like chilis and stuff. The soda-tanks are not necessarily refilled, that depends on the stores possibilities, but you get a prefilled one in exchange and are only charged for the content, the filling, the soda itself.

afaik spicy can also mean hot (i.e. high in capsaicine)

ie in german always pronounced as an ee in english ehile EI is pronoinced as the letter I

time index 19:41 and I'm still waiting for you to get to the alcohol section and start smiling at a bottle of - what some of us call - the "Lynchberg medicine" 🙂 As far as I kow you in the States need to go to special liquor stores for that ?

I would like to check the US Store inside the Base in Graf but I think you need like a card or some thing like that 🤔

Here’s a sneak peek 👀 Grafenwoehr Main Exchange (PX) at USAG Bavaria Germany! kzread.info/dash/bejne/pW130dqycsSoobw.html

Im surprised about the alcohol at self-checkout. I know that Germany is different in that 16 year olds are allowed to drink and buy beer. But here in Czech Republic anytime you scan an alcoholic item into self-checkout it needs to be approved by the staff. Either directly on your self-checkout machine or I think theyre able to do it from their terminal that controls all of them if they just have a look at you and you are visibly older. Sometimes even if you buy a non-alcoholic beer you still need to be checked .. as even non-alcoholic does contain some alcohol even if its negligible. Anyway thats how its here.

Age verification works via card payment, as well as at cigarette and alcohol vending machines.

@@arnodobler1096 I am not familiar with the newest versions of such machines but here a card payment doesn't mean anything. I've had my own debit card (the trick is the account is still legally in the name of your legal guardian) since I was 13. However we are starting to use Bank ID as identity and age verification.

Edeka is the best store chain in Germany.

That's your opinion.

NOT every supermarket has a bakery in the same building in Germany, Aldi for example only sells its own baked goods!

By the way, "Almdudler" is herbal lemonade and not an apple spritzer. Even if it looks the same.

Rucola in German is originally called Rauke ✌️

16:35 Respect - an in store brand.

Correction on the milk: There's two kinds of milk. The traditional milk which does need to be refrigerated and actually goes bad pretty quickly, especially when open and during bad weather. And "H-Milch" which can be stored for ages at room temperature until it's opened. I dislike the taste of H-Milch so i buy the fresh one. Also on the aluminium in deodorant: there was a lot of talk about this a couple of years ago but recent research has shown that it's actually pretty harmless because you don't actually absorb the aluminium. Sadly that isn't very well known. At the self checkout register: if you buy something with age restriction, the attendant gets a notification on their screen and if you are clearly old enough they remotely unlock it. Otherwise the register will call for an attendant as soon as you press the button to pay and the attendant will than check your ID.

0:27: JUSTTO "THE AMERICAN SECTION": Those items are tasting often quite different from what Americans expect because they are usually done somewhere in EUROPE or even in ASIA . Just compare the clips of DANA NEWMAN in her WANTED ADVENTURE clips about Germany on KZread for example My own experiences are going conform with her judgement. After all I am a GERMAN-AMERICAN who had lived himself for about ten years in California and who knows the PX stores though some American relatives
