When you do another food video in the States please include a brand of potato chips called “ MikeSell’s”. It is a Dayton, Ohio company and they are so good. It is a very light and airy potato chip cooked in peanut oil. Most companies do not cook chips in peanut oil. The seasoning is very subtle and not drenched in seasoning powder like most American chips. My family are big fans of blue cheese dressing. It is so good with celery. Panera makes a blue cheese dressing that is very tasty.

I believe Germans in the early days of Pennsylvania were a very cohesive ethnic group. My father grew up in Northumberland County and moved and married in Philadelphia where I was born. He could speak a broken form of German even in the 1970's. Since Germans in PA often kept to themselves they use germanized words and were called "Pennsylvania Dutch". Whether Dutch was just a mispronouncation of Deutsch or actually referred to their point of emigration from Rotterdam in the Netherlands, I do not know. While doing research on my family tree, I had to navigate the local newspaper in Northumberland County which was written in German around 1815. In my mind, it's likely that Snyders of Hannover was indeed a German family, probably from Hannover Germany. The pretzel recipe is likely traditional, and brought from Germany or at least based on German recipes. By the way, I believe soft (german) pretzels in the U.S. sell for north of $1.50 each today. I'm showing my age, but I can remember buying them as a kid for $0.05! Delicious with mustard.

Funfact about popcorn: although in Germany the norm for popcorn is to be sweet and most people don't lie them salty, in Austria it's actually the opposite. More people here like salty popcorn than sweet. Also in Austrian cinemas you mostly only find salty popcorn, while in Germany you are more likely to find it sweet (and salty), which of course then makes sense. Anyways, i think it's really interesting that there is so big of a difference, although they are neighboring countries and even have the same language (kinda). Also here in Austria we think of sweet Popcorn to be something American rather than German, which is really funny, but i guess it just comes from the fact that most other food is sweeter in the US and we think that it's probably the same with Popcorn.

@caynidar6295

Just from my personal experience growing up and living in the American South, most popcorn here tends to be savory and sweet varieties are more often served from some vendors at fairs or in containers of assortments you can get during the holidays. It's pretty common to find these giant tins with dividers in them, with one part plain butter and salt, one part cheddar and one part caramel. Theater popcorn is pretty much universally salted, with the ability to put a butter flavored oil on it.

Heinz is a very German family that has their business centered in Pittsburgh, PA and has maintained a close to German product mix as has Snyder from someplace in Eastern Pennsylvania. Hot dogs, hamburgers, and less common saurkraut balls ( around Cleveland, OH) are German-American creations. My one grandmother's bread was like what you described. It had a chewy crust and more of a spongy texture than a doughy one. Recently listen to a video from a a baking expert out of some university in Kansas, I believe she was of German descent, who clarified that the typical American store bought bread is "sandwich loaf" as it is European bread that has been highly modified for sandwiches ( especially for spreading peanut butter on it) and for a longer shelf life as real bread spoils faster. Peanut butter especially gained ground during the Great Depression as it contained a lot of protein and was much cheaper than meat. During this period of time "Sandwhich Loaf", American bread, was created as a cheap compliment to cheap peanut butter. Personally, I call Sandwhich Loaf; Wonder Bread, which was a brand name at one time, for its a wonder that it is bread. Well after that video I discovered that it isn't real bread.( at least in my mind) Moving on from bread, high fructose corn syrup is a more modern creation in America that is super cheap, cheaper than cane or beet sugar, but extremely sweet product that many USA food processors use. (It is a sugar created in a laboratory) It is also a major contributor to weight gain, diabetes, and other health problems as it is like a super sugar on steroids. It is best to avoid it or limit your consumption of it. I am sure that in low enough quantities that it is not that bad but who doesn't like really sweet foods. Often, even machine dispensed meat sandwiches have large quantities of it. In America we are almost addicted to this product. Even American spaghetti sauce is sweet when compared to origan Italian home made sauce.

When i was young, the local bakery used to make a 'special' pretzel only at New Years. It was 3 feet ( a meter) in size and everyone took turns tearing off pieces for good luck in the new year. There is a lot of German/Swiss influences/traditions in the area.

@@Joseph-oh6mo it's just sausages in a jar of water which was heated to kill all bacteria and to create a vacuum to seal the jar. As sausages are sealed themselves, it doesn't do anything to the taste. You wouldn't be able to tell the difference in a blind test. In addition, it's less plastic waste and glass jars will be recycled.

Nice video👍🏻. I noticed the Spaten beer on the shelf when showed the beer section. Spaten is my favorite beer! It’s hard to find here in Tennessee, but I do manage to get some now and then 😉.

Aww.., your brother looked sad When you said you are going to Cincinnati very soon. That was sweet!

I lived in Germany as a child from 1971-75 in Bertchesgaden and Augsburg. (Yes, I'm 50+.) So I find this very entertaining. I retain little of my ability to speak the German language, but I've never lost my fascination with German culture and history. And I still remember fondly Frau Zoeller, who had the best pastries. I might have to check out the rest of your videos. Nice work!

You have a great laugh Feli. Try pretzels dipped in mustard sometime. Even the hard pretzels in the bag. we used to have a bowl of mustard and platter of sliced sharp cheddar cheese to go with pretzels. My stepfather bought the Snyders brand of pretzels. He said they were German (website says German "style"). I have enjoyed seeing you and your brother together. 👍

Hey Timo... ✌🏿 😁 Hope to see you in more videos.... Your supposed to toast the hotdog bun... That's the best

It is no surprise, but your brother is very much like you. And that is great! I think you two must have great parents.

Love that beer is by the checkout - instead of Candy like in a U.S. store!

Well what Feli showed is like almost checkout. Right at the cashiers is a lot of candy on one side (called the "Quengelzone" which means as much as "begging-zone") and tiny bottles of alcohol, tobacco and zigarrettes and sometimes even condoms on the other side but of course you can't film that so well. But before you get to that you see a lot of beer. At least at Rewe, where this was filmed. (Sorry if there's any mistakes, it's 4.30 A.M. and I'm really tired..)

Haha, I would not call that a common place in german grocery stores though. City stores that have lots of people come by on foot in the evening probably. Besides candy the thing you most definitely find at the checkout lines are cigarettes because they need to be unlocked by the cashier.

Beer used to be the cheapest beverage anywhere in Germany, even cheaper than bottled water! Sometime in the late 90s the government passed legislation mandating that stores and restaurants must provide at least one beverage that is cheaper than beer. It is still pretty cheap, though, and I am always shocked when I leave the country at how expensive beer is elsewhere.

Heinz burger sauce repping Pittsburgh, my hometown! Love your videos

We are an American family living in Germany! Also in Bavaria, about 2 hours from Munich. Love watching your videos!

Your brother's English is phenomenal as well. Fun vid.

So Thousand Island dressing actually is very American. It was invented in Northern USA, and is named after the Thousand Islands region which is up between the US and Canada. But it is very widely used... like for example the "Secret Sauce" in In n' Out Burger restaurants is pretty much just thousand island dressing haha. Also Big Macs at mcDonalds. I do love me some 1000 Island dressing!! Awesome video!!

I always thought it was Russian because in some places I see Russian dressing and it's very similar.

Watching this episode right now. Keep up the great work, your videos are always very entertaining and informative. I'm Dutch myself so many aspects of German day-to-day life are not completely unknown to me. :) At 1:37 in the video, "mini brownies", they have Dutch text on the package :) Grüße von deinen Nachbarn im Westen!

Ranch dressing is a fairly recent dressing in America. When I was growing up there was no ranch dressing, but there was thousand island dressing. It is similar (but not the same) as the dressing on McDonald's Big Mac's.

S’mores are amazing! I warm the chocolate up too and it’s all gooey and delicious..even works in the microwave

Never heard of burger sauce before. I've lived in the Boston area my whole life. I love Snyder's (unsalted version on top for health reasons, there is still salt in the ingredients) crunchy mini pretzels. They're perfect with hummus.

After watching this video I didn't even know I was hungry. Thanks for reminding me.

Wow, what a coincidence, the same day you posted this I went to the new LIDL store in the US that just opened nearby. I thought it would be small like Aldi, but it was much bigger and nicer with a huge operating bakery. It was medium US size with a typically German quirky selection of stuff that was kind of interesting. No coin cart fees and no bags for your stuff (which I find kind of gimmicky but that's another story). I like that you put your brother in the video. Stay safe guys !!!

So cool to have found your channel. I'm located just an hour east of Cincinnati. Very interesting content! Looking forward to watching more!

Actually, Storck is located in the city of Werther, Westfalia, Germany. That's why it is called Werthers.

At 22:57 with the Bavarian Pretzels...maybe "die Lauge" is lard ? Looks REALLY GOOD and I could eat one plain & one chive. Yummy!! (No dipping sauces or cheese sauce). Americans LOVE sauces.

Feli, just an FYI in case you didn't know, foods are very regional in the US, as are the restaurants and fast-food places. The brand of popcorn you mentioned that you like (the purple packaging is not available in Texas, at least where I live). I grew up in Texas and lived in Maryland for 14 years. There were products and brands that I grew up with that were not available in Maryland. I had my mother ship me stuff every once in a while. And of course, I got used to some of the brands and products in Maryland that when I moved back to Texas were not available. Some of them I dearly miss.

That’s the same in Germany or Europe. A North German wouldn’t buy Brezel. Or, I‘m in Austria, not even 150 miles from Munich (we speak German as well 😉), and it’s hard to find sweet popcorn in the grocery (salty is the standard), or same with crisps/chips, that are salted and in the shops Paprika is left over 😊

Kettle corn is awesome they have fresh at alot of bass pro stores outside and at state fares. I like soft cookies but my husband likes hard cookies so he can dunk in milk. Soft pretzels with salt are awesome i don't get the cheese anymore wish Sam's club would open there food court back up because I don't go to malls to get one from there anymore. Have a safe trip back to the states.

I've seen other KZreadrs making videos with their siblings. In everyone of them, the sibling appears to be much more introverted or shy. Felicia and her brother are no exception. I've wondered how there can be such big charisma gap within the same family.

For one thing, regularly recording videos probably has more of an effect on that than actual charisma. Being familiar with a situation makes a lot of difference. Also, i'd assume he doesn't speak english anywhere near as much as Feli, so that also might hamper him a bit. Being witty and charming is much easier in your native language

I love these episodes. Based on your video of your trip to Jungle Jim's, my wife an I made the 90 mile (one way) trip to get German foods and I discovered Kühne gherkins and really great sauerkraut. It is interesting to me to see what you can find in Munich.

I just got done watching Rick Steve’s Europe and he was talking about east and west Germany very interesting and all the struggles that happened.

She should try a New York style pretzel with some stoneground mustard....its the bomb.
