5 classic German foods you should give a try 

Not as exciting, but what I miss the most about living in Germany is the bread. European breads are far superior to the bread we have in America, primarily due to the difference in the type of wheat used. To this day, I can walk into a European bakery here in the US and with one smell, I can tell if they've imported their flour, it actually smells differently. A Brotchen with butter, plain and simple, and I'm in heaven.

Just a quick correction: Professionally made pretzels are never coated in diluted baking soda. That’s for some home cooks. What is used is 4% sodium hydroxide lye. Only that way you get the real typical aroma.

I lived in Germany from 75 - 83…..loved the food, the people and the entire way of life…..🇬🇧

My dad (from uk) swears by German cuisine. He used to visit alot in the 90s and would come back with stories about their food. He was obsessed with

Grünkohl, mettbrötchen, pea soup or Maultaschen are a good addition to the List. But by far the best are the bread and sausages.

Most of my ancestors left Germany nearly 300 years ago for Pennsylvania (which was still a British colony). Would you believe that my family still enjoys all of these wonderful things? Finding good Haxe is very difficult in America, but excellent sauerkraut and asparagus are among my favorites.

I cant tell you how much I want to be in that beer hall and have a Schweinshaxe with an ice cold mug of the finest German lager. Its practically a life goal.

My favorite main dishes in order, with accompanying bread or sauerkraut or knoedeln. 1. Schauefele 2. Nuernberger bratwurst 3. Doener Kebab 4. Spaetzle 5. Weisswurst 6. Pretzel 7. Schweinehaxel 8. Currywurst 9. Germknoedel 10. Himmel un Ääd or Schnitzel (whether the Wien form or Jaegerschnitzel) Cakes are another matter.

that bismarck sandwich is something else - truly for fish lovers

I've had all of those and loved them all. I miss Germany.

Casually watching this from my couch in Germany while eating pizza

Schweinshaxe and Brezeln are nice and all, but I will always prefer the Northern German dishes. However, what Northern Germans call "Krabben" (crabs) are actually shrimps and have absolutely nothing to do with actual crabs. Also, I am kind of devastated that Königsberger Klopse didn't make the list. A true classic!

I prefer the Haxn ❤ over the Eisbein...

Where is my Mettbrötchen

Grünkohl is very famous in Northwest Germany - we eat it in the cold winter season and it's common to go for a longer walk outside, have some drinks and do some silly games until we eat Grünkohl. Rote Grütze is also a very delicious dessert in North Germany - it's made of various berries and often served with a vanilla sauce. Schupfnudeln are really delicious too. I ate it a a lot when I lived in Baden-Württemberg. I also love Spätzle.

I've never met a german i didn't like. They're all so nice and genuine. Their food seen to fit their genuineness.

I will say that Carrot Soup is a dish I adored in Germany but isn't well known in the US. And Schwartzwaldtoete. Fun fact: soft pretzels are popular in my area, though they're more elongated usually. I also don't live too far away from where hard pretzels were created.

I can't believe I've had all of these except the Spaghetti Eis. Schweinshaxe is still the GOAT. I've also enjoyed Labskaus and Frikadelle, though I'm less certain about their origins.

Wow.. Just found out about Bismarck roll, looking delicious

As a german, I was surprised to hear that Spaghetti Ice cream is a german thing. I thought thats common all over the world 😂

I love a ham hock with baby potatoes (lots of butter) and green beans, with an apple sauce. Until today I never realised it was such a popular dish in Germany.

We visited our exchange students parents in Basel, Switzerland. We walked across the border to France and dined on White Spargel with Schinken, the house specialty.

Almost everything looks really good! The thing that doesn't look good? The fish XD But that's because I can't stand fish! I'm Swedish and fish is a big part of our local cuisine, but I've never liked it, no matter how it's prepared. There's some fish I can tolerate if there's no alternatives (like when a meal is pre-ordered at an event I'm attending) and it's cooked very well, but if I have a choice, I don't eat fish at all (and currently haven't had any type of fish for years) Just something about the smell, taste, texture and all the darn bones that I can't stand when it comes to fish...

There is nothing more German than Spinach with Potatos or Spaetzle and egg sunny side up. Or the typical swabian dish "Linsen mit Spätzle". Labskaus seems to be a traditional dish in the north. Or "Handkäs mit Musik" for the people in Frankfurt. Or the classic Schäufele in it's regional variations, especially good is the franconian version. Gaisburger Marsch is a typical dish of the Stuttgart region. Sour liver/kidneys are also quite a tradition in southern Germany. What everyone should at least try once is a dish called "alsace sausage salad" (Elsässer Wurstsalat). Oh, and the swabian variant with black blood sausage!

German food is amazing & yet to catch fancy of Indians.. I wish there had been a great German Eatery in North India …

Looks awesome! 👍

For being the DW you could've spelled the Pretzel as Brezel please 😉

Oh I really love German food

Bavarian pork knuckle and spargle are heaven..

Nice 1. As a north-western german i liked, that you shown food not only from bavaria. I think, we have such a wide variant of recipies, most of them pretty easy to made and delicious 😋. The Spaghetti ice is realy a "must buy", if you come to germany. Oh and yes, our breads are great, if you had them for some time, you never feel the same, if you go back and cant buy them again. 😉

Bruh, the inflation! 😂😂 1,80 DM for spaghetti ice? That’s 0,90€ (or rather: would have been in 2001/02 when we switched to Euro). Nowadays you’re lucky to find plain spaghetti for under 5-6€. Even in my teens (2000s), I can’t remember seeing a portion for under 4€.

Brezen aren't bathed in baking soda, but in caustic soda.

I could DEFINITELY live on the first pork dish and Spaghetti ice cream.

Love the shnitzel sandwitches there, it was best in ever I taste

If you sre trying to make spaghettieis at home try a potato ricer and make sure it is on you can kill as it may bend undet pressure. Also, use LOTS of ice cream like 3 scoops in the ricer as once it pancakes it wint go through. You can repress the pancake for the next one. ;)

um noch ein paar seltener erwähnte in die Runde zu werfen: Senfeier, Kassler mit Sauerkraut, Kohlsuppe, Hasenpfeffer, Soljanka, Hühnerfrikassee, Goldbroiler, Bocki aufe Faust, Paprikaschoten, gefüllte Zucchiniblüten, Kohlrouladen, Erbssuppe und und und

Good content and nice video❤❤

Eisbein usually comes with Mustard

visited Germany twice...best food?...pork knuckles were amazing...also the bratwurst...the wine was surprisingly good...best meal was a buffet featuring a cauldron of seafood including octopus...the bread was amazing too...

Alles sieht so gut aus 💗

Older Finnish men love the wiener schnitzel. It's made all wrong (from pork, fried in oil...etc.), but it's still pretty good. It used to be a popular dish in the 80's as a working man's lunch. 😊

No mistakes guys, the German kitchen is, after China, the best pork cuisine of the world! Also, the average mama knows how to feed her kids. So rich in vegetables, all kinds of meat, and knowledge of stewpots and fried food.

Prussian mother, Ukrainian father who lived many years in Austria, and I’m the only one in the family who doesn’t like caraway seeds.

Ice cream spaghetti looked cool

How about Sauerbraten, Schnitzel, Currywurst, Spätzle, Bratwurst, Rouladen, Klopse, Frikadellen, Labskaus, Kartoffelpuffer, Knödel, Kirschtorte und Apfelstrudel?

I am vegetarian and french, living in Berlin. I like quality of local Berries, Aspargus and german high-protein cheese made with Quark. German bread is not as tasty as french one, as most of the bakeries in berlin are industrial. But if you go to country side, you should find better home-made breads. Their wine is also getting better and better, mostly vegan wine from Baden Württemberg. I noticed they are too much addicted to beer, and you see alcoholics guys from the morning, they should put more restrictions on selling alcohols like in the US.

My favorite German food is müsli, I can eat müsli everyday, several times a day. Generally the breakfast cereals are way better than US, I always buy these oat pops, but it seems all cereals are manufactured in a place called Lübeck. Kölln Haferfleks are a staple, I make so many things from them like pralines, cereal bars etc

Eisbein gibts auch im Osten. Das gab es sogar schon zu DDR Zeiten.

Nice the Only food here is from Bavaria and the sweet little Rollmops and Krabben Brötchen 4:35 There are significantly more dishes here. From North, East and West Germany.

The Bismarck herring was invented in Stralsund, one of the most beautiful cities in Germany.

German cuisine in Indonesia is incredibly expensive because it’s still considered an exotic thing, in addition to the pork and booze not meshing well with the local muslims.

i wanna try that Bismarck herring roll

ChatGPT Your video introduces five fantastic dishes, but I'm surprised and a bit disappointed that you didn't mention "Schnitzel"! This quintessential German classic, especially pork schnitzel or "Schweineschnitzel," is incredibly popular and often more common than pork knuckle. It's a staple in many German households and restaurants, making its omission from your list of classic German dishes quite surprising.

As a German i have to say it’s pronounced „Brezel“ and not „Pretzel“

I eat the pork knuckle every time I go to magdeburg

At 6:30, ironically, in the States, we wouldn't call that device a "potato grater." Contrary to all common sense, we'd call it a "ricer" or "potato ricer."

The one thing I really hate as a german is the following: Baveria is like Germanys Texas. The music, the blue and white, the food is quite regional, yet the whole world thinks that is german culture. I would even say it is less prevalent than cowboy hats and the like in Texas.

Sourdough bread. Grass fed butter. Chopped chives. Under cover culinary taste bud and consistency revelation. Frankfurt cider. Swabian spätzle. 1001 sausage and paté recipes. I can’t understand why I’m fat.

05:06 This is not "Bismark roll". This is "Matjes". Matjes is a totally different way of preparing Herings. Both are easy to distinguish: Matjes filet is pink Bismark's Hering is yellow/grey and it is served in a diefferent way.

Did I hear/get it correct? During the asparagus season (3 months) Germans eat an average of around 1.4 kg per person? The whole season? LOL! I usually eat at least 1/2 kg asparagus per meal! And I have many asparagus meals during the season.

schön das DW es ein wenig wie NHK macht und einen einblick in die kultur gibt. den wir so nichtmal selbst hätten :)

Cyber friends are invited to visit Germany, bring them backups and enjoy yummy yummy spectacular food, go champs go for it 🎉❤🎉

Saumagen and Grumbeersupp mit Quetschekuche

❤❤❤wow...good food from Germany...

2or3 from last .... great 😃👍

Steckrübeneintopf. Bester Eintopf.❤

super❤❤❤❤❤

My man was cutting garlic with a bread knife

Well, when it comes to regional food, I guess "Huckleberry Anything" since I live in Montana.

I love this video, but I have 2 adjustments to offer: The pronounciation of all the dishes where great, but calling a "Bretzel" a "pretzel" makes me so sad each time... I hope the US becomes more open towards the right pronounciation. Furthermore I missed my favourite german dish: the Currywurst from Bochum!

Snitzel mit pommes my favorite

Crab fishers didn't catch much this year I've heard. 15 euros per roll.

Cool

Spargel 😋😋😋

Nur 4 aus 5. Einen Tag soll ich auch Hamburg besuchen.

at 4:00 the guy really sneaked a bretzel "d" in

Was surprised to not see Schnitzel on this list, but I figured it's Austrian, right?

Where is Mettbrötchen?

I don’t love cold dinners.. especially on chilly nights

You forgot the Bavarian Burger, Leberkässemmel( Fleischkäsebrötchen)

I've never seen asparagus that thick

Krabben sind einfach so underrated

Great 😊 but the question is when!😮🎉

German restaurants TELL you what to order!!

Love show

The food looks good, a few ideas that spring to mind.........the pretzels are a good snack that could be made with some different ingredients inside the dough, spices, both savory and sweet, maybe garlic, chili, green onions, parsley, oregano, paprika, ginger, curry (home-made, you can't be sure what is in the bought stuff) dried tomatoes, bacon, ham, salami, then for sweet pretzels, maybe chocolate, caramel, dulce de leche, cinnamon, etc............................................................ the pork knuckle roasted with the dark beer looks unbelievable, the schnitzel's are absolute favorites in South America, where they call the "Milanesa's" (as from Milan) The "Fish Rolls" are a magic food item that should be on the menu in every "fishing town" around the World, as the fish & seafood comes in off the boats, there should be stands selling the "FISH ROLLS' or the "SEAFOOD ROLLS" or the "SHRIMP ROLLS" or the "LOBSTER ROLLS" or the "MUSSEL ROLLS" or the "SHELLFISH ROLLS" or the "CALAMARI ROLLS" or the "SCALLOP ROLLS" or the "SQUID ROLLS" and "CHIPS" Up there for thinking, and down there for dancing. It looks like Hamburg is promoting it's fishermen & fishing industry.

german style doener kebab is also world best

At 0:54, What does a "mixture of caraway seeds" mean? There is only one type of caraway seed 🤨

Jurgen kloop secret greatness

Where you can eat a Bismarck and drink a Bismarck.

no curry wursts?

Recently we have organised a culture festival. The club representing Germany couldn't brainstorm good suggestions on German snacks, food, games, and clothing. The Pretzels seem like a decent and easy option. What else is out there?

Вы не упомянули знамените карривурст. Штрудели овощные. Картофельный салат

Ah so you had Bavaria and Hamburg yet everything in between you ignored - embracing…

DEUTSCHE WELLE, wer hat das durchgewunken? Bismarckhering ißt hier niemand, wir geniessen das Matjes Brötchen mit zwiebeln

Heil Knuckle!

So where's the Currywurst?!?!

why are fish buns called fish rolls? They aren't wrapped

❤❤❤

Where's the plane ticket at?😑
