@@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.
My dad was a prisoner of war who came from Saxony and used to make Quarkkäulchen quite often. Also Bratkartoffeln, Hackbraten, Rotkohl, Kartoffel salat, and desserts like Rotegrütze, Griessbrei, Milchreis and lots of recipes from his homeland. He passed away in 2002 😢I really miss him and his cooking. ❤

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.

So... What is your husband's favorite German meal?
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!
I studied German for 2 years in high school here in the U.S. 2 years later I was drafted into the army and they sent me to Germany; so I know the place rather well! In 2006 a friend, who was from Ecuador, and I went to Germany for the World Cup. Our very first day in country, we went to a supermarket. Outside the market I introduced him to German sausage served the traditional way: sausage, brot and mustard. He was delighted to say the least!
My grandmother made the best Knodel that I have ever eaten. The traditional German version is made with bread, parsley, and some spices, and boiled in water and served. 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.
We traveled down the Rhine in Dec ‘21 and loved every stop. The Christmas markets are a bucket list item. The food, the sweets, the mulled wine all make great fare. My absolute favorite was the crispy pork knuckle at Peter’s Brauhaus in Cöln. And the various nougat at the markets were incredible. Loved Bavaria. Actually loved them all. The German people were very hospitable.

Many people won't try it because "oh, raw meat, surely disgusting", but it's THE breakfast in the cities of North Rhine-Westphalia and for some reason much more delicious than it should be. At least one thing where people of Düsseldorf and Köln agree on together!

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!

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.

As a german i can recommend Leberkäs in a Brötchen with sweet mustard. In southern Germany you can get it at almost every bakery or butcher shop. By the way great video. 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.

That's really a great summary of German food! As other have stated regional food differs greatly, but you definetly mentioned all the food you get everywhere in Germany.
WOW! Your video has brought back countless memories as I was stationed in Illesheim Germany (a little town near Bad Windsheim) in '76-'77 in the US Army. I have tons of memories of great food. 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).
I was stationed in Germany for three years and i absolutely loved the food and the beer. We would walk around town in the winter and get little finger size sausage on an incredible bun that was crunchy on the outside and soft as a cloud on the inside, they were incredible.
Great advice. I think you got all the highlights. At the very least, you covered all the foods I know from my childhood. And I love the B-roll footage--great photos!.

Thanks a lot for your great video. 😀This is very authentic and shows what people can expect when they travel to Germany.

Spaghetti eis and Fleisch kase were two of our favorites! Plus there was a chocolate muesli from one of the grocery stores in our town that was incredible!

Great video. I'm from Germany too and I recommend the very tasty Kartoffelsuppe (potato soup) with "Apfelküchle" (apple slices in pancake dough). It's a salty soup with a sweet side dish and it tastes perfectly when you eat them together.

I am loving all the pics of Freiburg. Muensterplatz is wonderful
Going to Germany soon -- thanks for the tips for dining.

As an Irish guy who loves pork as much as he loves beer, I feel like moving to Germany someday...
So true! Very good of german food! great atmosphere too!
THANK YOU! You have nailed it - wonderful German food - and very regional!
Having spent a lot of time in Bavaria when I was in the service, the one dish I definitely miss THE MOST has to be Leberkasse (mit ein Ei, of course!). Whenever I go to a German restaurant stateside, this is definitely the dish that I measure the place by!
One of my favourite cuisines.

My hubs was in the army in Berlin in 1971 and you brought old memories from our time there with the food, thanks.
When I was in Germany I remember pretty much all of this. The food is fantastic and the beers and wines are the best I have ever had. Sure do miss it.
When I was in Germany, I loved how you could get the flatbread with different hummus-like spreads on it. Really hitthe spot when you were taking a break from all the heavier foods.

Well thanks to the Turkish diaspora in Germany for many many decades now, flat breads and dips/spreads like hummus ARE part of German cuisine nowadays!
I love your genuine enthusiasm. However, I missed my favourite German food: the Alsace flammkuchen. It's like a very thin crust pizza with creme fraiche, cheese and bacon.

That might be because the Alsace is officially France (although culturally of course influenced by both). I think they have something similar in Reinland-Pfalz, though?

@@Snowshowslow Yeah, the dough of Dinnede is more like a bread dough. In former days, as only wood-fired ovens were used to bake bread, the Dinnede was made from the same dough as the bread and put in the oven before the bread (while the temperature of the pre-heated oven was still to high for bread).
Great video. Germany is at the top of my list for travelling abroad
Fantastic compilation, sincere respect. Greetings from Koblenz am Rhein
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 :)
As a Brit living in Bamberg I have to say this is pretty accurate. It's definitely a cuisine built on pork and potatoes. I'd also add in Flammkuchen to the mix, that's excellent too.

Definitely enjoyed your video, I’ve been to all those places in Germany twice already and of course I love the sausage in Nurnberg. Traveling and eating are my favorites things to do in my life.
I really enjoyed your post.
