You shouldn't be offended, it's pretty common in Germany to switch to English once we notice that the person doesn't speak German fluently. We wanna make it easier for them and we feel bad that German is such a hard language and I think when we do that, we don't realize that the person might WANT to practice their German and that it might be rude to just switch to English without asking them 😅

"Haribo" is actually an abbreviation and stands for "Harald Riegel Bonn", the founder of the company and their location. Sauerkraut combines great with Spätzle (but not Käsespätzle) or Schupfnudeln (which are something like larger, longform gnocchi) and diced bacon, all fried in a pan. Both variants are typical dishes in Southern Germany. And vanilla pudding makes a nice layer inside a strawberry cake. Also interesting to see how you fell into just speaking German after a while 🙂

I was visiting Latvia and I fell in love with their black rye bread. I bought it every other day and fried up some sauerkraut and ate the bread with it. Then as a snack they'll cut the rye bread into strips and fry it in oil and salt it and it's to die for. The stores would have huge bins you could scoop as much as you wanted and a big bag was only a couple Euros. So delish!

Zwieback is what teething kids chew on. Always liked it. When I lived in Detroit (many years ago) there was a German butcher store where you could find German foods. I do a lot of baking using German recipes, so I always look for Dr. Oetker baking powder and vanilla sugar. And back Oblaten, My kids grew up eating Dr. Oetker pudding - their maternal grandmother was from Bavaria. Salbei is sage in English. This was a lot of fun. I'm glad to see this - I'm going to hit the local kitchen store for German Christmas baking supplies tomorrow. Hope they have the right sized Oblaten for Lebkuchen. And all your old videos are popping up again, so the change in name isn't a bad thing.

I can recall many of the goods you are able to find there, but some items were packed into Christmas parcels and mailed in from Germany by my concerned relatives. Luckily today we have far more goods available, as the Canadian grocery chains seem to have international sections with far more variety. I am remembering every staple in our pantry i.e. pudding, Magi, dumpling mixes, hot mustard, etc. My favourite chocolate treat I can recall buying in Germany when shopping for my aunt was Ritter Sport, and was I ever excited when I started seeing them in the various grocery stores around here.

Moved from Dayton to Netherlands last year, and I so much miss shopping at Jungle Jim's, also the general lack of cereal options here in the NL! Lol. JJ's is quite a special store, it started out my facination of foods of the world, & well, life beyond Ohio, USA! Kudos to my High school Biology teacher making it a class-grade requirement for his small-town country-school students to visit JJ, & bring a new food to class that no one had never seen before. I brought in plantains & pomegranate (in the late 90's, these were unheard of). It is funny how the world goes round, because on my first visit to JJ (as a teen), I also remember meeting a rather sad/depressed teenage cashier, she told me that she was from Germany & really missed home, the green hills, & her friends, & was saving to make a one-way trip back some day. Hopefully this wish came true, as I have definitely seen that it is much greener in the NL to say the least! I want to say thanks for sharing your many experiences about Germany, you have helped with my transition even here in NL, as there are many similar european things with both countries. You also brought back some great JJ's memories! Once Corona eases up, I might finally get a chance to see what this lil cashier gal was talking about, hopefully with a visit to Germany myself! :)

Love your videos! My wife and I watch one or two each evening and they are so interesting. Especially enjoyed watching this one as it brought back so many memories. We lived in Hungary for 8 years, 5 of them on the border with Austria, approx 30km from Vienna. Because of our location we spent a LOT of time in both Austria and Germany (visited Munich many times). And while there we would scour the larger markets for things we missed from the States. You know, things like peanut butter, Dr. Pepper. But actually we found so many other drinks, food, desserts & sweets that we can't do without from there, that now that we're back in the States we spend our time searching the international stores for them.....Senf, Knorr soup mixes, Ritter Sport, sausages. Unfortunately, California does not have the German population as the midwest and other parts of the US, so it can more difficult. Anyway, you do a great job on the vids. Keep it up. Tschuss!

I am a Slovak, living in Berlin since February. I do not like these sweet drinks much, but! One day a colleague showed me Spezi, the one from Paulaner. That changed everything for me. I fell in love with it. Less sweet than coke or Pepsi, more interesting flavor, doesn't leave sour taste in your mouth... Still drink it just occasionally, but since finding Spezi, I avoid drinks from coca cola or pepsico even more if there is a chance of having this German masterpiece 😅.

“Supermercado” was a little off for Spanish.

Well, I'm an American Ex-Pat sitting in my 'spacious' 68 sq.m. apartment in Munich watching you shop for the basic things from here around the corner. When I first moved here (20+ years ago) there were many things I missed from the US. That's changed some. Now, when I go back to visit family and friends (last year before the craziness started) I found myself missing things from Germany. However, there's one thing I still miss from the US - Cheez-its! I don't know why. As you know they have thousands of snacks to choose from here, but I have yet to find a good Cheez-it substitue. Ocassionly, they'll show up in a store for a couple of days in Ami section and then gone - and outrageously expensive. Let's make a deal. You send me Cheez-its (original flavor) and I'll send you a box full of Bahlsen Kekse. :-)

I lived in Texas for a long time and one thing I miss living in Mississippi is access to German brands. Where I lived in north Texas was a German store which was amazing. But even general American liquor and wine stores carry major German beer brands. The hard part is finding German wine. Another great thing about Texas, the hill country of central Texas was settled by large numbers of Germans, Swedes, and the like and several microbreweries make beer according to German purity laws. The best example, though no longer made according to the purity laws, is Shiner.

Christoph--if you are looking for more authentic sausage varieties, look online for Usingers from Milwaukee. Much of their advertising this time if year is on their gift boxes, which are mainly the basics aimed at the US (but still authentic recipes), but if you get to the individual offerings, you can order more authentic German items, like Weisswurst, Knackwurst, Landjaeger, and so on (Excuse my spelling if wrong. I won't even try to spell my favorite breakfast sausage as a child, but it was a pork link curled around a skewer, pronounced something like "shih-SEE'-shun") Usingers is not cheap, but they didn't ship anywhere, and it is very authentic. Still owned by the Usinger family since 1800's. I grew up in the area, and worked in the factory the summer before college. Many of the ladies working on the tying line would converse in German, and my supervisor's accent was so thick, I would wait until he walked away and ask what he told me to do.

My fiancé was born in Germany - we live in KY and enjoy trips to Jungle Jim’s to get some specialty foods. Love your content!

Hi from Denmark :) I will allways chose milka over kinder except when it´s schoko bon bons ;)

That house brand of jam/jelly is a type of "dumping". Seasonally produced items can have surplus quantities, and the (low) cost of production is already spent, so what cannot be sold in their stores gets sent out of the store's sales region where it will not clash or compete with the local demand.
