Rübensirup! 🥰 Love it! Love it! Love it!!

I'd love to hear feedback on how your family and friends liked the things you picked out. That'd be an interesting video or instagram shorts idea. I've got to say you picked some interesting stuff and I'm curious if they like it. Also a tip when looking for local honey in supermarkets they say on the back if they contain local honey but last time I checked the one you bought contains honey from EU and non EU countries. They have to label that, so it pretty easy to find out if it's actually local or not. That being said, I still love that honey you picked, it's delicious and a great choice because of the different varieties. I'd also recommend flavours they don't have in the us, like black currant and Waldmeister

Omg thank you for telling me about the honey, I had no idea! I usually just go to my neighbour’s, so I’ll make sure to keep an eye out next time!

You can make your own béchamel sauce with mustard. Boil the eggs until soft or hard, depending on your taste. Serve with boiled potatoes. And the delicious meal is ready. Mustard sauce with eggs and potatoes. 😋

if you have made a white sauce , you can put mustard, a bit of lemon juice, peper in it and you have your own Senfsoße. boiled eggs, and boiled potatoes and green beans is a perfect match.

Thank you Brittany. Next time I go to Germany, I'll check those out!

Hermann Laue (HeLa) is originally a spice importer in a small town at the outskirts of Hamburg. The company mixes exotic spices and herbs and fills them into paper satchels that butchers use when they make their pastries. Mixing curry powder into ketchup was an idea after the invention of the „Currywurst“ and when BBQs became more common. One of the HeLa managers once told me that the giants like Heinz or Thomy would have no problem to wipe them off the market, but as spiced ketchup is such a Germany-only trade good for a very small market they simply ignore that dwarf.

I always love getting gifts from my friends who get to travel abroad. I have always wanted to travel to 🇩🇪 just have always been fascinated by the culture and people!

Vanillin is very common in sweden as well. There it is sold in bigger packages.

In bigger stores you may find bags with very small bags of (maybe 10) tiny gummy bears. Great give aways for extended family, collegues, aquaintances, neighbours etc.

Your pronounciation of Daim was on point. Today, it belongs to Mondelez, which is an US American brand, but was invented by the swedish company Marabou.

Now I want Senfeier. I loved them so much growing up in northern Germany

an empty knoppers bar package.. hmm sounds like a gift i would bring... ;)

Weleda and Kneipp beauty products from a DM or Müller. Cremes, lotions, shower gels, shampoos. Guhl shampoo Bier for thin hair. If you have enough money, Rausch shampoo from Switzerland. They are pricy but oh so good. Every American who was here loves sweet Bavarian mustard, so get these as well. Händlmaier.

Be careful with honey, there may be import bans in various countries outside the EU due to various bee diseases. This applies particularly to Australia, for example, but also to various other countries. Likewise, the EU does not accept all food from outside. Therefore, always check with your own customs office in advance to avoid paying a fine and having the gift destroyed.

Thanks for the tips very useful

Vanillin is artificial vanilla. To get vanilla suggar, you can put a real vanilla pod in a jar of suggar and wait a few days.

What's missing: The egg breaker (Eiersollbruchstellenverursacher) and the egg peeper (Eierpiekser). By the way: In my opinion, Oreo is the most overrated sweet in the whole world. I tried Oreo once. The cream was ok, but the cookie tasted completely burnt.

ehm. vanillin sugar is not the same as vanilla sugar. Vanilla Sugar is made from real vanilla, while vanillin sugar is made from vanilla-like aromas. Thats why there is a price difference.

Interesting choices - I know it's difficult because you can't bring anything fresh or too delicate for travel, so you got many things from your daily experience. The ornament suggests that you're pregnant?! Congratulations! Where are the Überraschungseier? Also, why not walk that extra mile and get some really high end chocolates (e.g. Rausch) for them so they learn what sort of abomination Hershey's really is? My experience suggests that US ladies are overwhelmed of the quality of the makeup products you can get at dm - at very affordable prices, so why not have a look there, too? Oh, and: "Zúckerrübensìrup" has the main stress on the first syllable and the secondary stress on the penultimate syllable.

Vanillin or Vanillezucker in the little paper bag or glass bottle is so praktisch. It made learning to bake so much easier when I was a kid.

Maggi (and Nestle) are Swiss

03:00 Vanillin zucker =/= Vanilla Sugar. Vanilla Sugar = Vanillezucker. Vanillin is artificial vanilla flavour. You can make Vanillezucker yourself very easily: just mix vanilla into a glass of sugar, maybe stick the pods in as well, and wait a while.

I like most of the choices but I would’ve loved to see a little less Maggi, Milka, Dr. oetker and other big brands and perhaps some artisanal or locally made stuff from small manufacturers too! Like nice hand made chocolates or jams etc… I feel like this was a very American selection of German foods rather than a German selection. But maybe that was the point?

Many of your product choices are low quality. Take the vanilla suger for exsmple. This sugar contains exactly 0% real vanilla. It is 100% artificial. But we have vanilla sugar with real vanilla. Have a look in the organic products section at a supermarket or go to a dedicsted organic supermarket. Of course you will see that the real vanilla sugar is more costly as vanilla is an expensive spice. Are you still in germany? If yes, it would be a pleasure for me to go shopping with you and show you the better alternatives for your products that don‘t use artificial ingredients.

Some pretty sad choice in this video... many artificial things with harmful or super unnatural ingredients in the first part. There a are so much better things in the world, like vanilla sugar from the same brand with real vanilla in the sugar instead of artifical vanilla aroma. And calling Maggi a "seasoning" is an understatement... its more like a chemical mix for people that cant cook and need aroma booster with msg.
