    Especially in Upper Franconia. Almost every village or small town has its own brewery(s). And every beer is better than the one before. Plus: food and beer are very cheap if you are outside of the tourist areas.

    @@CrazyAbdul1000 I think Grünkohl has been declared a Superfood. It has so many healthy things. The food science usually says, "without the Grünkohl, there would not have been any Scandinavia". Off course exaggerated, but the point is the Stone age people could get their vitamins nearly all year round. Grünkohl can take some frost, so you can have them out in a light winter. If snow comes and covers them, they will still be fine. When I was young in the sixties, we ate a lot of Grünkohl in the winter, mostly as soup. Tastes so good.

    i love german food because it is rustic and hearty :). german cuisine is typically hearty, subtle but sufficiently spiced and garnished with many different sauces, mostly made from the roast. Most German dishes contain a lot of meat (especially pork because of the history). There are also many game dishes. These are accompanied by potato dumplings and red cabbage. But there are also vegetarian dishes like Leipziger Allerlei. Because of the possibility of cultivation and stabling, there are many dishes with cabbage, turnips, spinach, peas, beans and pork.

    German food is probably the most underrated food in the world. It is soooo good. It's not massively diverse, like France for example but they're experts in their stuff and honestly, they have food items that will stick with you forever. The issue is that it never looks that appealing, or sounds like it might be delicious when written on paper, but then you try it and it's amazing. Sausages, pretzel, knödel, the different pork styles , honestly you will remember them a long time . Even a German Kebab, you will probably struggle to find a better one for the rest of your life.

    Very nice video. If you let me, I like to add that Germany's food is very diverse and VERY different from region to region. Hamburg and Munich for example have nothing much in common food-wise. But for some reason only the typical south Bavarian foods make it into everybody's list of foods to try. Foods from the south and north, east and west and everything in between are very different. But one thing is true and common all over Germany: Germans love to eat seasonally and regionally. That is why we have seasons for specific produce ... and it really pays off to try them at their season, as that is when they taste best. Yes, if you go to a supermarket you will also find imported produce outside of its season, but it's really no comparison. Just to clarify, although the waiter will probably understand you, we don't call it water with gas :-) We call it carbonated water (Wasser mit Kohlensäure or we simply say "Sprudel" - because that is what it does!) By the way, we don't only eat all the heavy meals you described, that is what tourists like to eat, and that is fine, but we might only have it once in a blue moon. So the question, how do you digest it, is the same question we would ask for an American breakfast with scrambled eggs, sausages, bacon, pancakes or waffles with sirup ... So there you go! Usually we just walk it off, but as I said, that is a) not what is eaten all over Germany and b) we only eat these things rarely. In fact I have NEVER eaten a pork knuckle or any similar dish, Würstchen, maybe twice a year, Sauerkraut, I have gone years without eating it, but I had it once this year and so forth. So maybe instead of knocking yourself out with these heavy dishes go somewhere where the locals eat and order what they have on their plates, and don't be surprised if you don't even find the heavy dishes on the menu of these restaurants. Be adventurous, have fun!

My grandmother added diced bacon, salami, andham, celery , celery leaves, onion, parsley, garlic powder, salt and pepper to the mix , made them the size of softballs, and boiled them in chicken broth. On a cool autumn evening with a beer, or the depth of winter served pipping hot and with a glass of wine, it was heaven.

    Just discovered Wolter with this video. I’m half Scottish and half German - my mother was from Hamburg. Another local Hamburg dish: Birnen Bohnen und Speck - pears cooked with green beans and ham, well tasty. The local Hamburg beer is good too - Holsten Pils. German wine isn’t just white; good reds too, from the Blauburgunder grape - German name for Pinot Noir. Love your enthusiasm and exuberance, Wolter; looking forward to exploring all your other food and travel videos, keep ‘em coming.

    It's been nearly 60 years since I was last in Germany (my father was born and raised there), but I remember the food fondly. Breakfast at my Oma's house was broetchen with sweet (unsalted) butter and honey. I used to walk down to a little farm stand every morning and pick up a liter or two of fresh milk, too. Oma had an allotment behind the large house, and among other things she grew spargelkraut. Seltzer/soda was known as 'spruedelwasser' or 'fizzy water', which it certainly is! Thank you for bringing back some wonderful memories!

    Maybe not as a tourist, but if you find yourself living in Germany or on a long term business trip and wish to save money on really good food: Look for workers cafeterias or what they call canteens. Canteens have a limited daily menu of typically one or two main dishes, but if you're thinking of some bottom barrel US middle school fare, you'll be wildly and happily surprised. It's really very good, fresh-made with healthy salads and vegetables for sides and it's usually very, very inexpensive. At least, it was when I lived there several years ago.

If you're very interested in german food you could try silisian white sausage. There's not only bavarian. Silisian white sausage is getting rarer in Germany, since silisia is part of poland since 1945 and the silisian culture and dishes are slowly dying out.

I was a Military Policeman and at the beginning of our shift my partner and I would drive our jeep into town and pick up a bag of brotchen, 500 grams of sliced wurst and a jar of brown mustard. It was great! Maybe a currywurst or two smothered in that ketchup... Also, any town or village worth it's salt had a local brewery (off duty enjoyment).

    Hey, I just found this video and I really like it. Trying local bread varities from smaller bakeries is definitely worth it. It seeems like you tried food in southwestern Germany and Berlin. In other parts you will find different meals with more fish or other vegetables. One underrated kind of meal are our soups and stews. In the eastern part, they are heavily influenced by polish and czech recipes. Vegetables like green beans, peas, carrots, beets are also very common. We also have a type of collard green, Grünkohl, that is eaten in northern Germany. You can discover a lot more if you want to. P.S. Jägermeister is a college drunk shot here too :)
