That "potato thingy" is essentially a potato dumpling! Mashed potatoes get mixed with other ingredients to make a doughy texture and then it gets cooked in boiling water. So good!

It such a satisfying texture, when boiled. I sometimes pan fry them in Butter. The crispy crunchy outside paired with the 'mochi'-like texture is so amazing. I always eat it with Sauerkraut and Braten, after that I feel like a boulder

Typically, what you do with these "cookies" aka "Lebkuchenherzen", is keep them until they're hard as a rock and then throw them away

As a German, I‘m glad you enjoyed Oktoberfest and our beer and food 🍻🥨

You mean as a Bavarian or South German. North German cannot even comprehend good cuisine.

Knödel is the best! In English it just translates to dumpling because in English they started calling everything dumpling but it’s made out of potato (no filling) and is like a giant, slightly squishy gnocchi usually eaten with the German version of gravy :) it’s amazing and one of my favourite sides!

OMG!! i'm czech and since czechia is right next to germany we share a lot of culture and of course cuisine! the knödel, (in czech knedlík) could be translated as dumpling! these are usually not filled though, its just a ball of dough. theres multiple types as well, mainly potato (the one you had), bread i suppose (?) and quark, which are usually filled with fruit. i dont know if thats done in germany though since quark fruit dumplings are a czechoslovak tradition. potato dumplings are also sometimes filled with smoked meat. hope someone finds this interesting :))

The “potato ball” is one of my personal favorites. It’s called Kartoffelknödel, super delicious and served with a variety of dishes. There’s also a different variant called Semmelknödel, which is more like a bread version if you will but similar in texture. Glad your experience a beautiful portion of our culture :)

So glad you made it! Those memories will last forever! I still remember my years there!

I'm German and I can tell you what that Potato ball was. The Potato ball is called Knödel, it's made from who guesst it Potato, you smash the potato and mix it with a bit Flour ( Mehl ) and cook it in water. The other Ball was Germknodel. Sadly I do not know how you make it but you do stem it. Happy to see you enjoy Oktoberfest. Sadly I can't go there just yet. Hopefully next year. (⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)⁠✧⁠*⁠。

You made me miss Germany so bad 😭🤤 the food and beer is just so comforting

Going through Munich on a Paris to Prague tour in March and can’t wait for beer and pretzels!

You going to Oktoberfest with Holli each year is so awesome! I have a good friend that I go to the Renaissance Festival with every year & this reminded me of that! 💖🥰💖

You gotta love Lisa videos

Looks like a lot of fun & the food looks delicious 😋

No way! You were in my City 🤭 im so glad you enjoyed it!

YES!!! you should post the original too!! You're the best, great job! LOVE YOU

I’m so jealous! Outfits on point!!

I love it. Good vibes ❤

I love how you all dressed up. So cool!!!

I am from Germany, but never made it ti the Oktoberfest.....the round things are Knödel (exist different kinds of).....the sweet one was a Germknödel, must try it with Plum or meldet Butter wirh poppy seat.......👍💜

OH JESUS CHRIST THAT LOOKS SO GREAT MAKING ME HUNGRY 😋

Very interesting food. Keep up the good work I really enjoy your vids.😊

Wow, looks like so much fun

Nice video !! Looked like you guys enjoyed yourself !! Did you travel to more places in Europe ?

Lmao @ the fish from Zelda game. Your hair looks so freakin pretty! This looks sooooo fun dude. Would LOVE to attend this

I'm a fish or fowl person myself.....but I do enjoy watching your vlogs on cooking pretty much anything....perhaps it's the narration 😊

Octoberfest is fun ❤

I wish you would have had someone take a picture of you and Holly in your dresses. You two looked so beautiful in the glimpses we caught 😍❤

Lisa in the Oktoberfest dress!? WOW!

I went last year as well while I was staying in Salzburg. Great food, and wayyy too easy to have too much beer 😂

Awesome Lisa

The potato thingy is called Kartoffelknödel and the steamed dessert dumpling is called Dampfnudel. Both are staples of Southern German cuisine and super good. Kartoffelknödel also have a totally unique texture which makes them addictive, try them youll see😊

oh wonderful cuisine

Tht looks so good

Man I need to go to Oktoberfest, looks fun

welcome to germany ❤

The greatest trip I ever took was to Oktoberfest. I remember most of it! lol

I’m legit happy you got to experience the festival. Super surprised you ate Schweinshaxe! That’s super authentic German cuisine, and pork knuckle tends to turn off American tourists (I find Americans tend to be picky eaters). Did you manage to get a good currywurst while there? Jc Hope you have more fun adventures ahead of you. Prost!

@@Omnibushido- there’s diversity, sure. There’s also some Cajun foods that use organ meats that folks either love or totally avoid. On the other hand there’s also fish like carp, that Americans don’t like cause it’s too boney For reference, last time I was in Germany I was eating “mett” as a snack. Aka seasoned pork tartare

Sehr lecker 😍

Thanks!

Lisa, when you said that you needed rice with the chicken, my inner Filipino said, "Yaaasss, giiiiiirrrlll...!"

omg!!!! dampfnudel !!!!!!!! it's literally my favourite german food even if just for the fact i had it while living there and could never find it when i returned to the uk, but yeah it does require a sweet tooth

Holly ☺️☺️☺️ she looks adorable in her dress 😭

Cute outfits

Wow! What an Octoberfest! I love all the delicious foods! 🙌👏 2:06

Looks like a great party. I went to an octoberfest party years ago before i had children. It was thrown by a german. We had beer and food. It was a good time.

By the way: the dessert the Girl form Thailand was sharing is called „Kaiserschmarrn“ aka „Emperors Nonsense“

Lovely Video Very Nice Im Bag Fan Of Yours Lisa , Love From Pakistan❤❤❤

My stomach would explode from all that beer and heavy food.

Y'all look soo Beautiful in Your Little German Outfits.😎❤️❤️I have a German Aunt. Octoberfest

NOOOO! SHE ATE THE DECORATIVE COOKIE LMAO!

0:36 the "hard cookie" is Lebkuchen or gingerbread, heart shaped and with some coloured sugar glaze on it.

Will you come to Amsterdam??
