Best German Snacks & Souvenirs to bring Home from Germany 

What's your favourite German Snack?

Im surprised you're not 1 million subs. You make so good content.

I used to eat so many Saure Zungen back in the days. Until my mouth was full of blisters. So worth it.

I am a big fan of three types of snacks in Germany that you don't see elsewhere: cherry juice, cherry syrup, cherry flavoured sweets. Quitten (quince) jelly, quitten syrup etc. This is incredibly delicious and not available in other countries, and Waldmeister(Sweet Woodruff). This appears as syrup to mix with water to make a long drink, or as a flavour of sweets. It is extremely nice and I haven't seen it outside Germany .

Riesen looks like Belgian Chocotoff. Very chewy indeed. Knopper can be bought at Aldi everywhere (I suppose. In my country at least). They are great indeed.

We get Moam, knoppers, reisen and lebkuchen in the UK, thanks to having Lidl and Aldi supermarkets 😁 Stollen is also a favourite of mine and is very much a Xmas tradition in our house ❤

In most of Europe, especially western and southern Europe, you will find Lidl and Aldi supermarket that sell you German food (sometimes even in German packages!) and are a good source for German sweets and German bread (an important omission in your video). Living in Portugal as a German since some months, I appreciate to have Aldi and Lidl nearby.

Love your videos ❤ I am English but living near Freiburg, Germany. Just wanted to tell you something about the way British people drink tea; they have it MUCH stronger than Germans do. That's why we drink it with milk, because it would be quite bitter without. One of the things I had to let go when I came to live here, was my tea habit, because despite all the variety of teas available, none of them can pick you up like a good old fashioned cuppa.

I'm glad you enjoyed your recent travels and are back home safe :).

I can buy almost every German snack in the video from my local supermarket deep in Bulgarian provinces. We fought two world wars together- we love Germany. ❤

That peanut snack is basically flips/smoki from Bosnia/Serbia/Croatia, I've been eating those for the past 30+ years, and its delicious!

I love and miss zwiebelwurst from Germany Saturday market. Thank you for this video. It brought many happy memories from my time in Germany.

I love this channel. I hope to visit my best friend in Bonn this year and buy all these snacks 🤣Yummy yum! Best wishes from England

Danke für die Empfehlungen. Die Snacks passen zu meinen Enkelkindern, die Teesorten passen zur ganzen Familie. Du leistest gute Arbeit. Alles Gute für dich. 💫💫💫💫

The peanut snack is basically corn puffs covered in peanut butter. It's delicious 😋

My god. So many good snacks from my childhood that I had completely forgotten... Must go to Germany soon.

Once I had a friend visiting from UK by car, he drove through Germany and bought some pastry with some sort of German sausages at the gas station, he gave it to me as a gift, it was so delicious I can only imagine how a proper German sausage tastes, ppl should definitely buy food as gifts.

I tool home wine, beer and lots of snacks! My Friends loved them! One of my friends even decided to visit Germany! He brought back a lot of snacks too! Great Food there!

Very helpful and insightful, thanks!

Only Radical Living can make even the sponsored section of the video super interesting and super funny! 😂 Thank you for making this great video! I always love to know more about Germany. Maybe you can also make a video about the best traditional German recipes.

Der deutscheste Sommerdrink besteht aus halb extra starker Prinzessin Lillifee (kühlschrankkalt), halb extra lautes Sprudelwasser und der Saft einer Zitrone. Optional auf gefrorenen Wassermelonenstücken servieren, wenn es super heiss ist.

Riesen seems so mouthwatering 🥰

my favorite is marzipan kartoffeln. simple and so good! thanks for the video.

I loved your tea stash! The Meßmer tea boxes are great, I've been to three different parts of Germany over the last few months and each time I've bought some meßmer tea boxes back with me 😁 I have a German friend living here in England with me and each time I've saved some to give to her 😁 great video as always ☺️ And I love the slidy desk too, it looks very fancy!

I really appreciate this video thank you I can’t wait to visit Germany one day

Here in the Czech Republic you can buy some of these as well. They are just called a bit different. Especially the fluffy peanut corn snack is very popular. Křupky!

thanks for the tips

Thank you for this! I head to Germany next week and am excited to try some snacks and look into what I can bring back :) Reisen is actually available and quite popular in Canada as well. I remember commercials for it on TV growing up!

I think it's worth mentioning Schnaps. That's what I take as gifts on trips to the US, high-end schnaps. Germany has wine regions (southwest), beer regions (southeast), and schnaps regions (everywhere else). They come in sweet varieties (pear, apricot, plum, raspberry, etc), herbal varieties (everywhere has its own kräuterlikör, often better than Jägermeister), and the downright crazy ones like Vogelbeere, Topinambur, or Enzian. My overall favorite is kind of Christmasy and from Austria: Zirben schnaps, made from pinecones.

Yes, and herbal teas are very tasty

Great video, great idea! Snacs ARE perfect souvenirs, never realised that. The automatic subtitles on this video are so crazy though 😂

When I visited Bremen, I would always go to the Hachez store for souvenirs. Their chocolate is just great! My favourite in Germany. Good thing that it can be found in any Rewe. And for tea - TeaGschwendner ❤ it's the best tea shop I've been to in Europe

I am Swedish. My mother lived in Germany before and she told me that in Germany they have licorice in like ”adults only” places in the shop and in pharmacists, while in Sweden its on the regular candy section. I’m only 14 and I can easily eat salt licorice

Bahlsen, Riesen & a few other German classics I buy often here in Tennessee.

You can get most of the stuff in Hungary too , "lebkuchen" is all year around , like , literally every store have 2-3 variety at least(maybe expect penny) but everyone knows that the one with the sugar frosting is the best . Also , ironically i just had a knoppers commercail in tv a few hour ago before seeing your video.

You covered a good amount of veryyy German snacks 😋 also, I LOVEEE the huge variety of Prinzen Rolle in Germany !! When I moved here, I made a whole video about them because they are so good 😂

Yes

As a German myself I have to fully agree

The first three chocolate products you showed I get at my local ADli here at christmas time :) I love all three of them :)

Can you make a video teaching about the different types of bread please, we are going to south Germany in June and we want to learn everything we can about Germany and the culture. Oh !!! Thanks for this video too, it was very helpful 👍👍

Looks yummy

We would like to see more videos like this. About getman food & places.

When I was a child (1960’s - 1970’s) at Christmas time only, we used to be able to get these little chocolate candies (usually sold individually) called “Ice Cubes” from Germany. They were the best tasting chocolates I’ve ever had. I miss them greatly. When I get a time machine, I’m going back to Christmas 1971 and buying the all!!!

In Serbien gibt es auch Erdnussflips, die heissen "Smoki" und sind sehr sehr gut.

My favorite souvenir to bring back from Germany is the Enigma code-book.

Speaking of winter, my favorite is Stollen.

I have a basic table from flexspot, nice one 👍

Im hungry now! great video .

My favorite lebkuchen definitely is from Lebkuchen Schmidt 🤤, especially the Schwarze-Mini-Elise! Love it! Actually, my boyfriend sends every year for Christmas a box from Lebkuchen Schmidt to my parents in Chile, they love them too! Also super super good and my favorite is the marzipan from Niederegger Lubeck. They have a vegan one which is just perfect for my taste 🤭

Hmm gute, Idee gutes Video 👍

As an Australian with German heritage I had no idea about the tea 😂 the cupboards you went through looked the same as what my Mum has and now everything makes more sense!

I swear all I want when I have a cold is a bottle of cherry juice. Took me ages to find it in a Tesco in London somewhere covered in dust behind the dozens of brands of cranberry juice 😂 Once I hosted a Japanese exchange student and he kept eating different kinds of haribo every day with a sparkle in his eyes that there are much more different types available here and it's so so cheap compared to Japan. He definitely gained a couple of pounds in Germany. 😊

Love your videos bro

You should also take AHOI Brause with you!

Useful video！！！❤❤❤

Resins are one of my favorites I get them all the time here in America

Three years ago it was Haribo Colorado, but now I'm more into Lachgummi Softies.

I love the square Ritter and Ritter sport. We can get it in Saskatchewan, Canada.😊

Here in Missouri, you can buy Riesen and Knoppers. Both are very good.

My fav. One so far is the wafers one u mention. I would love that one better

Ritter Sport is still selling in Russia. FYI. Erdnuss Flips are the original. Aside from Nimm2, all of these are available in the UK (or at least in my corner). You forgot Eiskonfekt! That is the best of all of them! And can't get that one in the UK shops... Glad to know that you have as much tea as me! German standards are camomile, mint and rosehip. Every household has these. Ice wine is German and very very good and a great gift. Could also include bread - pumpernickel for instance! You could have added a vegan section. Taifan make great products.

I like this video... ❤❤❤❤

Not only do I now know what to get when I go visit my home country, I know now what snacks to buy when my German friends come to visit

I brought a bunch of German candy to my Taiwanese friends last year. They LOVED the Knoppers!

Nice Video!

Found some Knoppers in Aldi. Sydney. Very nice.

You are hilarious 🤣 ❤

Riesen!❤! We have them in Maryland in the usa. Sooo love them😊

it´s true about wine! I love German wine, also from Rheinland-Pfalz region :)

We do have "Nimm 2, Riesen und 😂 Knopas" here in Bulgaria. And I have seen them in Paris as well!

Your snack preferences are so similar to the ones in Latvia. I always thought we have a best chocolate, we have hundreds tea varieties, lots of sausages, rye breads..and a beer is a traditional drink too, especially for summer time. If you haven't been there, you are very welcome to come, you will love it. :)

Cherry-Banana drink is unique to Germany, love this one

OMG! Lebkuchen ❤ I grew up in Australia with our German family sending us Lebkuchen for Christmas.

Knoppers gibt's hier in USA auch, bei Walmart und Aldi

We have Riesen in Canada… love it!😊

we have Reisen, knoppers, Maoam and the peanut chips in Denmark aswell.

One souvenir from Germany I took was a picture of bread with raw ground beef with onions on it. It did not look appealing to me, but it is something I never saw outside Germany. I brought home vanilla tea and I am drinking a cup of it while I am writing this comment. The tea I got from Germany is really good.

wunderbar! Knoppers are great and it sounds super dirty to say, "try my knopper."

Knopers is in Croatia to, is my favourite snack

Bahlsen gibt es auch in den USA und ist sogar extrem beliebt hier. Sogar kleinere Märkte haben Bahlsen. Riesen gibt es hier auch.

Marzipan! My favorite is dark chocolate with orange flavored marzipan in it.

Lebkuchen is really great in Winter!

also recently found apfelwein - cool thing too. and tastes like a real wine, and not pitty a soda-like cider.

Going to Berlin in June and I am really enjoying your videos... I have an Aldi near my home in Miami (USA) and I have seen some of these snacks here. We have Riesen here and also some Lebkuchen type cookies. LOVE THEM!!!

We have Riesen and Maoam in the UK too 🙂

My favorite German sweets are different kinds of Marzipan produced by Zentis. If someone asks me what to bring from Germany I am always asking for Zentis. Its a really great snack. German wine is great too.

Missing marzipan from the list. You can get in other countries too, but seems to be quite popular in Germany. And I love it!❤ Also, I'm originally from Latvia, and can relate with the tea loving culture. We keep dozens of different teas in our cupboards, as we believe that there's a tea for every illness. Although, many would disagree that actual tea is only made from the tea plant and the rest is herbal infusion.

Most are well known and loved in my Polish hometown of Poznań/Posen 😍

I was just a 13 year old boy when I left Berlin and now live in Australia. We got Aldi a few years back and it us like going to delicatessen with lebkuchen, haribo.....thank you formyour creative insightful funny shows.

in my country we have kaufland and lidl and müller and DM so we have everything you mentioned with the addition of our local products which are already very much influenced by austrian culture (i know it's not the same but still) for several hundred years so basically everything you mention here is very familliar to me. i am just used to having all sorts of german products around the house, learning german in school watching german TV etc etc. Howerver the only thing you can't bring home as a souvenir is the way life is organized in germany, the way bureaucracy works despite it being slow, the way things happen on time, how public transportation works, how there is little to no corruption, the way people take care of communal property, quality of infrastructure.... if I could bring one of those things home I definitely would. I live in croatia of course.

That hat is so cool! I want it! 😂

1. Many friends who have been in various parts of the world told me that you can buy many German snacks at ALDI since ALDI can be found in nearly every country. 2. And they saidt often it is forbidden to bring food (even in glasses or tins) into many countries. 3. You can drink "Radler" (which we call Alsterwasser in Northern Germany!) as Shandy in English speaking countries. 4. You got me thinking: What would I buy? Seriously: I have no idea! 🍒

Could you talk a bit more about different types of german beer? I visited Berlin, Dresden and Munich last month and had a lot of nice beer. The one I recognise is Radler. I probably tried others too but I didn’t know the difference between them. I must thank you for making those videos btw! I followed this video and bought some nice souvenirs. (Greetings from Hong Kong)

Hey Love the videos! English guy also living in Germany for about 12 years now. In Britain people only consider black or green tea to be real tea, and if you ask for green tea most people will look at you a bit strange. the majority of people in Britain when they say "tea" what they actually mean in black tea (usually pg tips [because it is the strongest]) often with milk in it. fruit teas aren't really considered tea, and they're rarely drank because there are a lot of different cordials and syrups to add to water to make it taste of fruit. Even though with just green or black tea you can still have hundreds of different types weather its assam or darjeling, oolong or gunpowder tea. i'm not saying i agree or disagree but it's just what i've noticed. I do like any tea though, tasty warm water :)

Black gummy licorice candy is the best :)

Now I have to find that waffle choc Bahsen! Looks delicious! The Knoppers and Riesen luckily available around! Maoam brings childhood memories back! :) You have mentioned fat. Is there any local made "healthy" snacks?

I love almost all of them and sooo happy we can get them in the Netherlands too :)

The peanut things are called Flips (yes they are great). You can also get them in Austria (of course😂), and you can get similar products in Israel. But ze original is of course ze original from Bahlsen (Lorenz). Yamyam 🥜🥜🥜

Thank you for the video. Definitely will bring some of there snacks back to the U.S. Will be my first time ever being in Europe. First trip will be to Gemany.

Riesen used to be huge in US like 15 or 20 years ago
