Exploring German Supermarket for the First Time! | Our Reactions + things we’re excited to try! 

German eggs do not get washed bevor they get sold in supermarkets, the reason is that the natural self preservation of the eggs stays intact and therefore the eggs can be stored much longer.... in the Us and Canada the eggs are washed and therefore need to be stored cold 🥚

I am surprised that there are even three choices for peanut butter that’s a lot considering that it’s not a common thing in Germany and the supermarket isn’t big either.

First one Kohlrabi, peel, cut in stripes like French fries, cook in water, serve with Béchamel sauce. I personally love to eat it raw as well. Second is celariac, cut out an eighth peel, goes into soups for flavour (like self prepared stocks)

You should definitely go to a bigger store; there will be more choices. This one is really small - you find important stuff but a bug variety 😬😅

Hela Curry Gewürz Ketchup gets a big "thumb" up! Try on French fries.

Love how you pronounce “Nahkauf”, to me it sounded like knock-off and I thought “oh no, they already had a bad experience” 😂

Hey guys. I just wanted to say that this store is not exactly a supermarket but more of a convenience store. It's already in the name more or less, Nahkauf meaning "close buy", which is a low-key awesome play of words in English). Nahkauf is a franchise of the much larger REWE chain of grocers for smaller communities. Most of my friends living in smaller towns and villages are doing their groceries in larger cities at least once a month or sometimes bi-weekly. The selection there is a lot better and you also get select imported goods from the states. If you ever go to Bayreuth, Amberg or even Nürnberg I am sure you find everything that you want. Since one of you is working as a civilian military contractor, I often read that US military bases have their own shops with American goods. Are you able to make use of those as a contractor?

You were actually standing in front of the "Backpulver", but just ask a worker if you see one. They will have you with pleasure!

We don’t eat much peanut butter hence the small selection. Dressings you usually find refrigerated in the produce section. When you go to a bigger store you will find generally more options for each product and also things such as cilantro. We rarely use it so it’s rare.

Who's also German and couldn't understand which grocery store they wanted to go?😅

Running comment: "Nahkauf" is the smallest type of REWE supermarket. Cilantro is called "Koriander", and to get that fresh, you have to find a larger market. "Backpulver" is DEFINITELY there - in little paper pouches grouped in 5 to a plastic pack. UHT milk does not need refrigeration, until it's open. When you go to a larger supermarket, you will find more things to try. Have fun!

Risa, once you are on your own with your little one, do your shopping in the morning hours on a weekday. Like Tuesday at 9:30am. Stores will be the most quiet then and you don't have to stress yourself with packing your groceries.

3:50 Mövenpick Gourmet Crème is just the name of this jam product. In German the terms "Creme" or "cremig" do not refer to the English "Cream" (that would be "Sahne"/"sahnig" or "Rahm"/"rahmig"), but to the producs texture and consistency, which simply means it is spreadable on bread/toast etc. 4:27 For honey, Europeans differentiate between creamy (cremig) and fluid (flüssig). There is no actual cream inside the honey too, it is just mor spreadable, whereas fluid honey is more for dribbling (like maple sirup). The pistachio and coconut spreads are based on vegetable fats sweetened with honey, I guess (as far as I can figure).

Employee protection is a top priority in Germany and this also includes opening hours. Sunday is generally a day of rest (Ruhetag) or "Day of the Lord" and is intended for church and recreation etc. It is also not allowed to do noisy gardening or home work, loud music etc. This also applies to working days between 13-15h and 22-6h (Ruhezeiten = rest periods). Exceptions are restaurants/Imbiss, stores in train stations and airports, gas stations, cinemas (entertainment), etc. 😉 Baking powder comes in little paper bags, usually 5 pieces wrapped in foil. Spices are usually in a shelf nearby the seasoning mixes. „Bio“ (short for biological food/ ingrediances, no chemicals and artificial flavorings) means organic food. It is hard to say what to buy, there is just one way to firure out: Try everything 😂 H-Milch (homogenized milk) is uncooled, fresh milk you find at the fridge section. Don't expact items in large amounts (Gallons) like in the US. Usually in Europe you go on a food run more often, to buy fresh stuff. 😉 Try also the big variety of cheese (cheaper than in the US, Also wine) and bread/sandwich spreads.

If you find a friendly neighbor you could ask him to go shopping together. You would get a lot of answers and advise. Or in the shop try to ask people around, most will help you.

Backpulver is a German staple as well... it comes in little individual bags wrapped in a clear foil. Also Cilantro is called Koriander in Germany and normally it’s really easy to find ☺️ You will not have much luck with your peanut butter... here in Germany it’s not really that popular so the choice of three different ones is pretty common 🥜

The Milk in Cartons ist Long Life Milk so IT can bei kept Outside of the fridge. Cause German people Like to buy in Bulk to make IT Last longer . Backpulver comes in little Packets. If you have any questions at all feel free to ask . We live in Berlin Germany .

If you looking for a german salad dressing go for "Dressing Sylter Art".What you picked looked more like Remoulade and Knoblauch-Sauce which are basically mayo with herbs or garlic.

Totally funny to see how you stand in a German supermarket with a thousand question marks on your face. It's the same for me (German) when I'm somewhere in a small town abroad and don't speak the language and can't find my usual brands. I then also buy according to the pictures on the packaging. Welcome to the clueless club :-)

The "Goldsaft" in the bottom left at 4:52 is something that probably doesn't exist in the states. It is a spread made from sugar beets that are grown in Germany and are used for making sugar. It has a very peculiar taste and is extremely sweet. My 4 yo niece loves this stuff on bread.

Give yourself a treat and google a big Rewe or Edeka Center, it's still small compared to an american Supermarket, but the variety oh boy! You'll find your cilantro and everything else you were looking for. Also: if you are looking for asien ethnic groceries find yourself an asian Supermarket. Regarding the Questions I Remember: Kohlrabi: it's really yummi raw or cooked with creamy sauce. You need to peel it (peel is rather thick) but then just cut it to sticks and ear on its own or with a condiment The big round kinda rooty looking thing was celery (we have different types, most stores also have the celerey greens that you know from the states). Personally I dislike celery root, but it's a base ingredient of many German soup recipe. Peanut Butter: all the americans and Canadians I know complained about German Peanut butter, so they got their kraft ones on base. Condiments and dressings: Ranch is not a thing in Germany. I never had it, so I can't compare but maybe try "sylter Art" dressing. The other bottle you held "Remoulade" it's tartar sauce so you eat it with fried fish and a lot of people use it for sandwiches. Curry Ketchup and Gewürzketchup: oh yes, they are great. Much different from tomato ketchup though. Much sweeter. Mostly eaten with fries or bratwurst (don't put it on Schnitzel, yuck) Mustards: for Sandwiches get a good chunky sweet mustard (süßer Senf). For Sausages, since you like it spicy go for "scharf" and for cooking "mittelscharf" cuts it.

Great video guys. :) Cilantro is called Koriander and if they don’t have fresh one you’re gonna find it at least dried and ground in the spices section. ;) First produce item is called Kohlrabi and it‘s a turnip cabbage. You peel and slice it into sticks, then cook it. But it’s also enjoyable as a raw snack. Second produce is the most commonly used part of celery plant here, it‘s called Knollensellerie (lit. tubercle celery) and it‘s the plant’s root. We use it in a lot of soups. The green part is called Stangensellerie (lit. stick or pole celery) and the typical produce you know. Backpulver (backing powder) comes in little pouches of 4 to 6. And those pouches of „seasoning“ ain‘t seasoning but instant soups and sauces. Usually you have to mix the content with water or cream as described on the back to get the sauce for the meal or the soup that printed on the front.

It is so exciting to watch and to see "normal things" for me in a total different perspective😁

This video was very helpful. Thank you.

I love to eat Kohlrabi raw, just peal it and eat it😊 for a lager selection I would go to a bigger shop 😋 but for the beginning its nice to get a look into what lays ahead 😊 stay save ❤

The selection of "only" 3 peanut butter choices in this small store is because the army base is nearby. Normally a store of this size would probably have only one brand of it. In Germany peanut butter is not a big thing like it is in the USA. The thing why honey in the USA is much more expensive is how the bees are used. The bees in Germany/Europe are there to produce honey and pollinate the blossoms. And they stay at one place (thats why there is this the selection of different honeys on the shelf: forrest honey, meadow honey...). In the USA the bees are carried around to pollinate different fields, plantations... The production of the honey is not the focus. So there are much less beekeepers that focus on producing honey which makes it more expensive.

What a cute little grocery store! Love watching you guys! 🥰

Oh well, going grocery shopping in a foreign country is quite interesting and fun. Discovering and learning more makes it even more exciting! 😊😊😊💖💖

2:18 Even as a child i liked Kohlrabi. Because it has a bit of sweetness and no biter flavours which most kids don't like. To use it you have to cut of a layer on the top and the buttom because it is a bit hard and fibrous. Then you have to peel it with a knife because of the same reason. Now you can eat it raw if you like or cook it in various ways. You can cut it in pieces and cook it like carrots and use it as a side dish. Goes well with a bit of melted butter or cream. Or for a Vegetable soup with potatos. You can also cut it in slices or cubes and roast it in a pan. Some people make a vegetarian schnitzel out of it: Cut Slices, turn in flour so it has thin layer on it, than into a raw scrambled egg and into breadcrums (german. 'Semmelbrösel'). Now fry it in your pan like a normal schnitzel. It don't taste like meet but i think it taste good neverless. You ever used the thicker stem of a broccoli? If you peel it and cook it tastes a bit like Kohlrabi. 2:28 Yeah, if you have a asian store in your town it is the way to go or grow you own chilis like me because of the bad selection and they are a bit pricy in the supermarket. 2:50 It is the tuber/root of celery. It is mostly used to get flavors in souces and soups. And you can also make a vegetarian schnitzel out of it in the same way i explained it. 😄 5:12 It mostly packed in small paper bags with only 15-20g in it and in a bundle of five of this in a plastic foil. 5:45 They are common, but i never used them. It is faster way to get flavor in your food but you don't need them if you know how to cook. And some people are skeptical/don't like it because of some ingredients like glutamate etc. 7:32 If you like it spicy buy 'Löwensenf' 😉 8:35 It is 'durable milk' (german: 'haltbare Milch' or short 'H-Milch') it is boild in special way to make it last long without refrigeration. Once opend you have to put it in a fridge. But you can also find fresh milk in fridge-section mostly near the cheese. Oh you find it anyway 9:04....😅 Have fun exploring Germany 😀

Please do let us watch you trying out these things! I'm curious to see your reactions and how you like (or dislike) them.

the spice section you were looking for is in the far background at 7:15 the shelf with the yellow top that says “Ostmann“, to the right of the fresh meat counter

You also find cilantro under the name Koriander. As for the spices and herbs, every store keeps them somewhere else but there should be a whole shelf offering lots of different ones from different brands. But they’re usually not next to the little saches you found.

That's not typical dressing at 7:15. Dressing is used for salad in Germany. But i think the definition is different is English. Remoulade is something you mostly eat with deep fried fish. I don't think it even exists in the US. I like it a lot but i think its you either like it or hate it. The other thing i couldn't read but if its garlic sauce its mostly used to go with grilled meat or shrimps. The woman at the butcher shop asked you "without bones" btw. Knochen means bone. Just so you know next time ;) If you are not a trained professional German bagger use a cart. Put all your stuff back in the cart at the cashier then bag it outside or in the bagging area which your small store probably doesn't have but you'll will recognize them in larger stores.

A very popular mustard is "Bautz'ner Senf". The little pot has a blue label. "Mittelscharf" means medium spicy and is a good thing to start with.

Fun Channel, have a great time in Deutschland :-)

Hi, there is a season when you can get fresh Cilantro plants in the fresh herbs section of Lidl, Aldi or big supermarkets. Otherwise you find it in the dried herbs section in small glass or plastic containers.

I cracked up about the curry ketchup. 😂 Very entertaining. All the best 🙏🏼

Kohlrabi is a very delicious vegetable. You can cut it in sticks, eat it raw and dip it in “Frühlingsquark“ (you can find it near by the cheese section). I love it 😍

I just want to warn you that you will probably be looked at weird or be asked to stop filming in many german stores, espacially if you film people directly. Germans have a very different understanding of privacy and also of what is public, we do have a so called "panoramafreiheit" in our laws which means that you can take video and foto in public if you don't film a person directly but rather the panorama. BUT germany also has the "Recht am eigenen Bild" which means that theoretically every filmed person has the right to their own picture meaning that they would need to be asked if they are okay with the publishing or sometimes even taking of a foto, another forbidden thing in germany is the recording of non-public conversations without the knowledge or against the will of a third person it's called "Vertraulichkeit des Wortes"(non-public is defined differently as in the US again), this also comes into affect with videotaping, thats also one of the reasons why its often illegal to film a trafficstop in germany. But apart from that it was nice seeing your reaction to our german grocery store, even if it was just a small Nahkauf :P

There aren't a lot of big grocery stores but EDEKA is a good one, sometimes there are just small EDEKAs but here and there you can find really big ones (sometimes the big ones are called E-Center). But I'm not sure whether there is one close to you. I hope there is, because its definitely more similar to the American stores (regarding size at least). Oh and another fun thing, sometimes stores like Lidl have an "American week" where they have a section with American style items 😄

It is so funny to see how you react to a german supermarket😂 all this is soo normal for me

For a salad dressing, try to see if you can find "Sylter" from a brand called "Zum Dorfkrug". It usually comes in a glass jar with green labeling. I wouldn't compare it to ranch but it's a really good light-tasting salad dressing.

If you want fresh cilantro leaves, look for an Asian shop. They usually have a small fridge, where they store bagged fresh cut herbs. Very often you can also find Soda/Natron in a big paper box much cheaper than the tiny baking powder packages from the Grocery store. (Best to ask the shop owner where to find the stuff as these Asian stored are rather tiny and full of thousands of different products).

Yout town has a kind of Farmer Market for sure. There you may find most local veggies, and may taste and buy just a small amount.

The sauce you're holding in your right hand at 7.10 is garlic sauce I guess. You eat it with steaks or fish to dip like ketchup. Salad dressing you can find in the vinegar and oil section

Kohlrabi is also really nice as a puree. Just cook it mixed with some potatoes in salted water and then mash it with a bit of cream. If you add a good amount of chopped Dill into the puree and serve it with fish and a mustard cream sauce, you will have a really tasty meal 🤤👌

Nice video, I enjoyed watching what you find special in DE.

I still know my first time in an American grocery store. That was great. All the new experience. I do really miss it. Hope you are having a great time in germany and you will get used to closed stores on sundays.

Sellerie is really great for soups as it intensifies flavours. I like to eat Kohlrabi raw but you can also cook it.

Nahkauf is a regional very small supermarket directly in the city. When you have a car, drive to a bigger city and go to an EDEKA. Search for the biggest in your region. They have bigger sections for ethnic food, but herr in Germany we do not have that much mexican food like you are used to in America :( Kohlrabi: You can peel it and cut it in small slices to eat it raw. It smells strong. Maybe try it with a dip. Otherwise you can cook it and eat it with bechamel sauce. You should peel roots of celery. It oftrn comes in bags 'Suppengrün' as veggies for a selfmade soup. I also use the roots of cellery in my potato salad and cook slices and cut it in tiny pieces for it. You can search for chilis in asia or turkish stores. This would be the best option. There are also some special foods you can get much cheaper there. You can get baking powder in small sached(usually 3-5 together). It is near the flour and other baking stuff and most of the time it is placed on the lower shelfs. Eggs aren't refrigerated in Germany, because we do not wash them before packing them. After washing you have to keep them cool. There are two types of milk, 'H-Milch' also 'haltbare Milch' is the unrefrigerated milk. You can store them for a longer time. The other one is fresh. You can search for 'Milchtankstelle' in your region. Some farmers have vending maschines with bottles and a maschine to get very fresh milk. For kids it is better to heat this milk up ans cool it down before drinking, because it is not processed, but tastes so much better than milk from a store. Sometimes you can get there veggies, eggs and honey, too. Search for a 'Imkerei', you can get local honey :) The Maggi and Knorr stuff in the bags are like mixtures of spices and powders to cook meals. It is mostyl used by people who aren't used to cook very often or are uncreative in my opinion. When you don t want to buy many spices and other stuff for a meal you buy this. Many people don't buy this stuff because of Glutamat etc. Sometimes you can buy spices on local farmers markets. You can also find there fresh fruits and veggies, meat, fish, flowers,... You can buy asparagus in glass cans or frozen all the year, but soon will be the time of the year when you will find asparagus everywhere in stores, next to the streets,... You can get green and white one. Curry ketchup is a 👍 You use it for the bbq, some people for fried potatoes, to schnitzel,... the brand HELA has lots of different ones. From mild to very hot. You will not find any ranch sauce here in Germany. I can't think of anyrhing that tastes nearly as ranch sauce...sorry :( You can try sylter dressing for salads, I think this is the best dressing to buy. Many peoply prepare their own dressings and lots of people use vinegar and oil for it, added with mustard, a bit pf sugar, salt and pepper for example. Mustard: the most common to buy is Löwensenf. It is from Düsseldorf and comes in different variations from mild to spicy and in tube or glass. In bavaria there is also a sweet mustard who goes to 'Weisswurst'. It is a white sausage who is heated up in water or vegetable stock. You have to get off the sausage casing and eat it with the sweet mustard and pretzel.

In holidays regions (schleswig-holstein, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Niedersachsen), shops are also open on Sundays during the holiday season on the coasts or lakes . Eastern to Octobre. Sunday is short opening 11am to 5 pm

I m so jealous you get to have all the german goodies. I miss it so much

Congrats on your first shopping experiance! First of all Nahkauf is always a rather small supermarket and does not have everything in stock that you can get in Germany normally. You need to go to a Rewe or Edeka to get the full selection. If you are lucky you will find ranch dressing near the vedgtable section or near the vinegars and oils. I have seen ranch before but it's not a common dressing in Germany, you can make it from scratch though! As for baking powder, it comes in small little bags it's commonly not far from the sugar and flower section so you were on the right track. Sometimes it does not say "Backpulver" on the packet, for example the brand Dr. Oetker names it's baking powder "Bakin". I hope you find some on your next shopping trip!

When covid restrictions lighten, be sure to go to the ritter sport factory! Awesome!!!

You have to try Goldensaft Rüben Kraut so nice on bread with butter . It is in the Jam section . You can see it in your video. Yellow one☺️.It’s Backpulver, they have just little packets of it .

When it comes to ketchup/mayonaise: Mayo = Miracle Whip only Ketchup = Heinz Curry Ketchup etc. = Hela and for Currywurst "Maggi Fix"

I think there is a different between baking soda and baking powder! Baking powder is Backpulver Baking Soda is Natron (also found in the baking aisle) Baking Soda like in the states - you find in an Asia super market (well that’s were I found it - I’m from Berlin) Keep exploring and have a fun blessed time in Germany

Pro Tipp: you can reuse the pistachio cream Container as a drinking glass ;)

The pistachio cream is usually creamy because of the oil. The longer you mix nuts the more oil comes out and makes it creamy. Sometimes other oils are added or even dairy or chocolate but usually it’s just the nur and some sugar.

Curry Ketchup is so good for BBQ. I loved to eat it on fries😉. I miss that in Ireland 😂.

For Mustard you have to try "LÖWENSENF" And for salad dressing "Sylter Salat dressing" ( have a look in the fridge near by the vegetable and fruit section). Edit: Greetings from Münster, Germany 👋

@3:40 You're kinda lucky to find peanut butter at all, especially in such a small store. Probably due to the fact that there's this huge American military training facility 'round the corner.

Best Ketchup! The ohne with the green Deckel

The green round vegetable with the sprouts all around are called "Kohrabi". The large wrinkly lump you had in your hand is a celery root. It gets peeled, sliced or grated, then cooked. Grated raw Celery root makes a great salad. Dr Oettker has baking mixes. You also buy baking powder in small per-measured packets. That way you always get fresh, full strength baking powder for your baking project. Milk will be sold in cartons that don't need refrigeration. We used them on our sail boat on the Chiemsee all the time. Knorr soup packages are very practical. Just add mix to a half liter of boiling water; stir for a few minutes and you have great soups.

if you want more organic stuf you can go to Tegut or Bio Dens. But organic means Bio in germany. Have a lovely day

For cilantro go to the Turkish/Middle Eastern stores, they have great selections. Also definitely try the Farmers Market!

What you thought were spices are ready mixed packages with spices plus other ingredients meant for making a single meal. All you have to do is add a couple fresh ingredients like veggies, cream or meat. They're pretty nifty and are one of the things that are astoningly absent in US supermarkets.

As you mentioned, Nahkauf is a pretty small store. If you would like to have more choices, you should probably go to a bigger store like Edeka, Famila or Rewe. They usually have a bigger area for fresh vegetables for example.

Now that's typical German, personally witnessed a zillion times before: As soon as a German notices that someone she or he is talking to is of an English speaking country, they'll switch to English. This is not meant to either offend you or to speed up the conversation in order to save time, it is because Germans love to practice their English skills, and they think it is polite to give you proof of them being able to talk English to you. Tanner, your German is great already, kudos to you! If you prefer to practice your German rather than to speak English, let the people know! They'll understand (most of them do). The best way to pick up German is to simply speak it, f*** mistakes, no one cares, and it will get better every day.

If you’re looking for Arms and Hammer baking soda, try the ethnic food aisle in a bigger supermarket or Asian stores. Nahkauf (pronounced Naaah- cow- f). Cumin btw is called Kreuzkümmel in German. Get the Leo translation app on your phone. And I haven’t seen a butcher handling meat without gloves in ages.

Rittersport around the holidays has special ones, be sure and try those! As for dressings, I'm not sure what's typical, but my German fiance's family typically buys those Knorr seasoning packets and makes dressing that way with vinegar and oil. Hope that helps. Thanks for sharing!

Hey, its so cool to see you explore the german culture :) Curry Ketchup from hel is the best, meine Empfehlung an euch 😍😍🙋🏼‍♀️

Ah, the classic US base architectural style, at least in Germany. 😁

Bautzner is the best mustard for me. But every German will have his/her own best mustard in mind. ;-)

You definetly have to check out other stores. I think "Nahkauf" is part of Rewe. Rewe along with Edeka for example are "supermarkets" which are usually more expensive than Aldi or Lidl which we call "discount markets". Penny for example is the discounter version of Rewe. Usually Rewe markets are way bigger but you are in the "city one" that are regularly pretty small. I for example don't use any powders or mayos for cooking. I use (fresh) spices to spice souces and use oil and vinegar or lemon to prepare salad.

Great Video

Yep remember that. Stores closed and everyone is fine. And here in Canada or US people freak out on the second day

The other vegetable, besides Kohlrabi, you did not know was Sellerie. ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celeriac ) In special it was the tuber of the celery.

I can recommend to go to the "Wochenmarkt" Weekmarket. There you can get fresh Fruits, vegetables, eggs, meat from local areas and so on. You can also fry Kohlrabi with some carrots and Butter in the pan as a side dish.

You ask about spices. I think at the 7 minute mark the spices shelf is right behind you. Also, if you go to supermarket chains like Rewe or Edeka, they have a much wider selection of products, and fresh meats and cheese counters and a bakery. And then you have specific shops that specialise in like Thai, Indian or Turkish food products.

You can always find cilantro (coriander) and other fresh herbs at Asian stores.

Backpulver comes in a batch of sachets it is usually readily available

You can find cilandro in bigger stores, maybe there is an asian or turkish supermarket, there you can find it.

The Hela Curry Ketchup is a Ketchup That all germans LOVE! Crazy to See such a small village. I live in Berlin, where you find big grocery stores Which are Open 24/7. And Kohlrabi: love it raw with dips!

You won’t find ranch dressing here unless you order it from one of the US resellers here. There are some who will sell more than just candy for those home sick moments (like baking supplies, thanksgiving goodies, etc) us-sweets.de is one of them for example. Unless you can get it on base of course. Re mustard: there is sweet which is found in bavaria and for the white sausage breakfast, regular which can be cheap or expensive (dijon is grainy and from France $$$ but tastes amazing).

You need to visit the large Edeka / Globus / Rewe / Lidl / Aldi stores in the larger cities. Especially Edeka / Globus do have even fresh sushi, fresh noodles, restaurants, a own bakery etc. inn the new stores ;)

It‘s crazy to watch an american channel and be able to read everything in my language and everything just looks like home😂❤️ And for the Kohlrabi, you can Peel ist and ist it raw or you can peel, it cut it in slices cover it with egg, flavour egg, Semmelbrösel and put it into a pan and fry it...

In the 90s, even the department stores were only open until 2 p.m. or 4 p.m. on Saturdays, maximum. Supermarkets usually only open until noon and then it was over. And maybe until 6 p.m. during the week. Maximum. In the cities, most supermarkets are open until 10 p.m., some until midnight, and on Saturdays as well.

The best mustard is from Düsseldorf or the Löwensenf and of course the Dijon mustard is great, too. Try the "scharf" and "medium" ones.

These small supermarkets are mostly pretty expensive. I go to stores like these just for things I forgot to buy... Peanut butter is not such a big thing in Germany.

Edeka has a spice section where for sure you will find cumin and oregano, I think this just depends on the size of the store you go to.

Hi guys. So you also can shop via net like in big store Edeka or Rewe and there you have more choices also for peanut butter and fresh herbs like cilantro. And they can be delivered.

7:32 Currently the season of the asparagus started in April until the 24th of July. You should try white asparagus with sauce Hollandaise and fresh cooked potatoes or some custard with fresh strawberries. Also you could try to make “Kohlrouladen”(cabbage rolls). The RU-vid Channel “DW Food” has a whole video and recipe for cabbage rolls “Cabbage Rolls With Rachel Stewart” you should try it 😊

Fun fact: Nahkauf (name of the supermarket you visited) means literally: Near(by) shopping. Secondly: It is not standard in Germany that the staff at the butcher`s touches meat and sausages without gloves and lets her hang down. In addition we have two types of milk: One without expiration date that you dont have to put in the refrigerator and the one you know from the States which is in the cooling section. I dont know any delicious white salad dressing in a bottle, the ones you had your hands on are for sure horrible (but taste differs). You have to do it yourself with cream, herbs and vinegar.

BACKPULVER comes in little sachets 7×10 cm, in the bake(BACKEN) section of the supermarket mostly beside VANILLEZUCKER

Bakingpowder Comes in little Packs like dry yeast and are Portionen that 1 Pack is for 500 gramms of flour. The Thing in Producer was a cellery root User normal to make Stock for soups.

Wow, a German convenience store with THREE different peanut butter brands. 😁

You should take a German, who speaks English ( what do the most) with you once to the grocery to get explanations to get rid of your question marks!;)

Backpulver will normally be next to Vanillezucker, backing powder in next to Vanille powder in the backing area. It's in small packages.

Kohlrabi: aside from cooking options, just cut the rind of (til no green is left) and cut it into small pieces as a snack (similar to slices/pieces of carrots)
