German bf made me German food for a day 

Awww

THATS SO SWEET

So am I!

As a German myself, he’d be a little bit TOO German for me haha. But I agree they seem to be made for each other

Even he is her fiance, his name is German boyfriend 😂 Don't call him German fiance it is confusing😂

It's all a sinister Plan. *does the Mr. Burns gesture* We German Men do this cooking and caring and such to make our Wifes get bigger before us so they can not complain when we grow fat later.

He's giving me unrealistic expectations xD

True

also not liking parsley is a major difficulty. It's what I would consider the central herb in German cuisine

I also hate parsley... It taste like dirt :D .. idk why many cousines used that... Even in Slovakia.. we put it as a decoration, but almost never eat it...

there was lot of room for improvement, it may got cut out, but bro didnt even taste the stuff he put on the potatoes, which is a no go if u work with vinegar :D

Heh he did not make the Strudel by himself ..only the filling which is super easy & Not time investing..?? - the dough was store bought and the other „dishes“ also didnt really look appetizing .. like the potato Salad and were easy to prepare, no cooking skills needed and able to make for any dummy🤦‍♀️ Y‘all seem to be terrible cooks if you are impressed by that, I think they both cant cook

Especially making Apfelstrudel without the dough ripping apart is quite a challenge. :D

Her cooking skills are not good 😂❤

The bread comes frozen

The bread comes frozen and you bake it at Home 🥰

You can buy pre-made bread rolls and just bake them up. You can also buy pre-made puff pastry. He made the filling himself so credit where credit's due.

Which both tastes worse than buying it from an actual bakery or making it complete by urself.

he's very sweet but the dough for the bread and the Strudel were store bought! Same with the Knödel and store bought Knödel just taste really bad... I agree with Uyen, the meat balls were the best and actually made from scratch :)

You're talking about two of the easiest things to make. Seriously, bread is so easy. I can't even imagine you doing something like a yorkshire pudding or a french onion soup.

Exactly!

Not really from scratch though ;) The red cabbage was from a glass, the Knödel were pre-made, the vanilla sauce aswell, the Apfelstrudel-dough... But I get what you are trying to say. He put a lot of effort in and that's lovely :) As a German though, I would say these were extremely simple dishes and if he were good at cooking he probably would have tried some more elaborate meals. But not at all I want to say anything against him - I think he is wonderful even without strong cooking skills :)

@@voyance4elle as german especiallyt he knödel rotkohl thing was maximum I would cook xD This is absolutely never simple dish. simple dish is having a nudelauflauf where youchuck a package into water on raw noodles and put cheese on top and put into oven, that's simple!

@@glasperle77 OK then we have a different definition of the word "cooking" :D

@@glasperle77 You are so right! Even though it wasn't haute cuisine, it was still better than the stuff most people eat every day. He didn't go the easiest way - most Germans do not heat up/bake the bread in the oven, many hardly know what Pfifferlinge are and would simply buy a frozen Strudel. I'd say his cooking skills are somehwere in the middle, not bad, especially for his age and gender. Compared to my last boyfriend.. oh my. He would put puff pastries in water, because he thought they were noddles! That turned into a disgusting soup which he still ate! Horrible. And once he came home with a large leek, thinking he could eat it raw with some dip (he didn't even know the name).

She's a bit too critical imo, but he takes it well. I think though that she'd not like it if he was that way with her.

I agree. Personally, I would prefer his foods over hers any day but I would not be that critical just because I'm not used to it...

@@user-eu1rh2nm8jyou know that this is a comedy channel right

"Raus" is a perfect last name for jokes :D

Isn’t it lovely? 😊 I live over by New Braunfels and I LOVE the mix of cuisine over here.

Only when Apfelstrudel is served with vanilla ice, I accept a little bit of cream with it.

This Austrian rejects that this was an Apfelstrudel. 2/10 for Authenticy - 10/10 for a German BF cooking for his sweety

Try the frozen one only from Coppenrath & Wiese from the supermarkets, it`s very good. it`s the same with other products of this brand.

@@klarasee806 Apfelstrudel is served with vanilla sauce as the standard.

@@MrJueKa I know! That‘s what I tried to say! Apfelstrudel should not be served with cream. The only exception would be for me if it‘s served with vanilla ice. Then I would accept a little bit of whipped cream to make the melting ice more creamy. But for me, vanilla sauce (and no cream!) is a must with Apfelstrudel.

Exactly. Why go with "Eierguillotine" or "Eierköpfer" when you can create such a precise neologism? LOL

I totally agree! I eat food from all over the world and make it myself just to try something else 😅 They are so stuck in their way...

I won't say he is picky eater if he didn't want eating fish in the morning or he can't tolerate spicy food. Didn't he travel with her to vietnam and eat there? He ate all the food he could eat. It is the fishy stinky food that she eats in 3 meals. Well, that is a drastaclly different food. I think she didn't try yet to find a ground with German food yet she is in the country for 4 years. It is her time to try and explore german food even for 2 weeks or so .

... Compared to my family and friend group both of them seem like omnivores who don't care what they eat. It has seriously become easier to list the things a person can eat rather than the once a person can't eat since you only up listening ~20 items

Its weird people dont like pho

This made me miss yummy dansk frikadeller!

The things he "baked" was just premade, you buy it like this and roll the dough out. But completely agree with the rest of what you said!

Jeg synes at den danske smager bedre, men det kan også bare være min nostalgie :D jeg lever i Tyskland og den største problem jeg har med Tyskland er at smørebrød er ikke så vigtigt. Altså, de gøre ikke meget mere end lidt lyd, måske ost og agurker eller tomater. Danske smørebrød er en kunst 😅

​@@Dani-lc9hqBut you don't know for sure if he did or did not made the Laugenstange himself. You can do that, it's possible. And who makes Blätterteig at home ... sorry, but you do know that it's not easy at all, right?

@@FineHupeline I know it because it looks exactly like that, you know it when you've ever seen it before, we've all used it before as well. (Didn't she even hint at it in the video too, can't remember rn...) I'm not saying he has to do it, but we don't need to praise someone for something they didn't do, I was simply correcting the person, nothing more.

Yeah way too heavy for my taste, though I do love red cabbage

Heavy foods make surviving northern winters easier. Heh. Full belly means sleeping well thru the dark months.

"sometimes" even as a german, there are dishes i can only eat once or twice a year ( like pork knuckle). I love grease and dripping pig fat, but if you don't, german food can be torture xD

food is efficient, just like the people. Feed a lot with not much, but it will fill you up so good you wont want seconds.

Thank you I enjoy Middle Eastern Foods.

I think in this case he was happy because actually Uyen often says that German food is not edible.

I mean, that's the most important part hahaha

We Germans don't tend to exaggerate our compliments. For example, "mmh, good" means really yummy in English.

except if you fry them. cut the cooked Knödel in slices, toss them in a pan and you got yourself a meal for the gods.

Yeah, they're like matzah balls or mochi, they're only good when they're swimming in the soup/sauce you have them with.

Ich hatte das erste Mal Semmelknödeln im Kindergarten und seitdem nie wieder. Jegliche Art von Knödeln erzeugt Ekel in mir, obwohl ich mir sicher bin, dass einige Knödelrezepte mir auch schmecken würden. Das Trauma war wohl zu gross 😅

@@elivinh3040 Das waren bestimmt "Fertigknödel" aus dem Plastikpack ! Gerade Semmelknödel müssen selbst gemacht werden mit frischen Kräutern und angebratenen Speckwürfeln drin ! Auch die Brötchen die man verwendet müssen qualitativ hochwertig sein !

Und in einer ordentlichen (Gemüse-)Suppe gekocht, für den Geschmack, nicht in einfachem Wasser!

And she calls him sweet tea. 😄

It sounds like he's saying "sweet pea", which is just as adorable!

Agreed!!

Me too. I could imagin, that he would only eat bread all day, the day after. Or at least nothing warm/hot.

i love indian food but my austrian stomach says no... no regret when i eat indian food

​@@mariosoadfanlol

I am American but Indian food is my favorite. Half my ancestors are German but I don't think that I would like German food.

i guess it all comes down to what you are used to eat@@johnnyearp52

Yes, i would have done it the other way around. I would have made the dumplings and red cabbage by myself and bought a premade strudel.

de nederlandse keuken heeft de echte frikandel, in plaats van een 'frikadelle' ofzo dat ook nog een hamburger schijnt te zijn

Stamppot met spinazie met gehaktbal en jus 😎 but don’t try the andijvie and spruitjes 🤮

well apfelstrudel isnt typically made with premade puff pastry. the strudel dough is a bit different usually.

​@@vivalozwastakenwat do you mean? The German Frikadellen /Fleischpflanzer (in Bavaria) are not real? Only Frikandel have the right to exist?

I don’t think he made it, he just popped it in the oven

Bake-off we call it, and it's common all over Europe. Basically, it's ready made bread, that are either frozen or in a vacuum pack, but you have to bake them in the oven yourself. And Ikea vanilla sauce is sub par by Swedish standards. We have more better brands of ready made vanilla custard up here. My favourite is Ekströms. That I can eat all by itself. It's made with real vanilla pods.

He baked it himself but not the dough probably. u can buy bread dough almost everywhere in europe

@@BylineBelife I actually think bake-off bread is better depending on what time you go to the bakery because it always tastes better when it's somewhat hot. Ofcourse a good bakery in the morning stays the best but a baguette you'll need for the evening is better when you bake it off at home because the one you buy at a store or bakery is baked in the morning and will be too hard in the evening.

NÖ! He bought ready baked and just finished it baking and that‘s it, don‘t you guys have that in your countries as well???

His cooking is great! I hope Uyen will become more open to German foods in the future.

Yes, for a man he has skills. My husband uses a cookbook to boil an egg. He can also pour cereal in a bowl.

It's not at all that she doesn't give him credit. It's just that Vietnamese food tastes so delicious that German cuisine cannot compare. German food is nowhere near as flavorful. I cannot imagine being used to rich flavors to eating hundreds of types of bread.

@@dejuren1367 Agreed, he put so much effort into the meals and honestly they looked delish. I don't think even a ''better'' cook could make her like German food. I think he did a fantastic job.

​@@dejuren1367she is perfectly awful to him.

That's a very polite way of calling someone a picky eater. Tbh, I don't think I would like to cook for her, though I consider myself a decent enough cook. It's probably meant to be funny, but she comes across a bit ungrateful.

I think it was banter, let’s not assume that German bf is hurt. I agree he did a good job but they know the boundaries of their relationship better than us.

This makes me think whenever Uyen starts to lose an argument with German Fiance, she goes "I bring people joy!" to bolster her case

I immigrated to the US in my late forties. And within a year, I suffered from severe bread-withdrawal-syndrome *snorts with laughter* Germans are kinda obsessed with bread. It's eaten with just about every meal (sometimes served as a side, sometimes it's the main event) and I can't think of a day in my life when I would rather NOT eat a bit of bread. German bread overall is a lot more dense than what you get in the US, it's constructed to support all the stuff that goes on top. The variety of bread in the Germanic countries (Germany, Switzerland, Austria, parts of Italy and France ... and probably some more) is stunning. From delicate white breads to chunky dark Pumpernickel, rolls, loafs, pretzels ... when you can imagine it, some baker there is already selling it. It's eaten with any kind of topic you want. The most basic is butter, and nothing is as comforting as eating fresh, warm bread with way too much butter. From what I understand (from following some Mexican cooking channels), Germans love bread like Mexicans do tortillas. I learned how to bake my own sourdough out of desperation. And got my American husband addicted to it as well ;) I'll cut some slices into squares and serve with several different toppings (e.g. cream cheese, home made garlic butter, cheese, sopressata, salami, ham, olives, tomatoes, onions, pepperoncini, pickles ...).

I am pretty sure it would feel like "tasteless" to you as most Germans would feel the Mexican Breakfast beeing "inedible", too. I started to eat Breakfasts from other Cultures for some Time, and it was hard to get to the "German Breakfast" back everytime - especially after the "Asian Times" Regardless if it was Korean, Chinese or Japanese Breakfast, it was really hard to go back as either it was completeley tasteless or tasted "salty" and nothing else - some (as the "Frischkäse") even was tasting like rotten. I can not say for sure for Mexican Food as I never had authentic (aka made by a Mexican Mom) Food, but for what I made for myself according to what I thought of beeing "authentic", it was hard to get used to it - Stomach was really rebelling the first 2 Weeks until I got used to it - and the Taste was not the best at first as well until I got used to it - and now I love it.

El pan y los encurtidos te los paso pero el huevo hervido no es de mi gusto 😅

A mi me encanto ese desayuno. Aunque en Argentina generalmente es solo tostadas con queso blanco y mermelada o facturas (pastrys) el fin de semana. Acompañado de mate, café o te. Nada mas.

Yo soy de la CDMX y me encantaría ese tipo de desayuno, me gusta mucho el pan, el queso, los encurtidos y los huevos hervidos

I am from Brandenburg and we have a very simlpe dish made of cucumber salad, fried eggs and mashed potatoes. Maybe thats someting simple to start with. Everyone can personalise cucumber Salad and mashed potatoes, might not be such a culture shock.

Id recommend using the ingredients he did and just measure by heart. I dont know any germans that actually use a recipe for those haha. Just fry the first one and taste it, the put more stuff into the raw mixture if needed. Also before frying, press them between your hands so they dont break :) Good luck and bon appetit!

I luved that apple 🍎 grater ! If anyone knows what it’s called or where to get it, please share . 🙏🏽🍎😊

Let's be serious here, Southeast Asian and German cuisine are not even in the same stratosphere.

​@@alitoch4876they are completely different, but both can blow your mind if prepared properly. Problem with Germany and food in general is, that people here don't like taste. Even most asian restaurants in germany taste bland, people want it that way. E.g. i have never eaten a good pork-roast in any german restaurant, most places just suck.

As German I would say to mutch salt 😅

What's your favorite polish dish?

A lot of German recipes are very popular in the U.S. but since they were often popularized by Jewish immigrants from Europe, most people in the U.S. consider them Jewish food. Before moving to Berlin, I always thought that matso balls or gefilte fish were exclusively Jewish. It turned out that they are staple food in Germany, although Jews often give them a particular twist. But I find both recipes equally delicious.

​@@johnsarkissian5519​ so you live in Germany right now? If you're interested there is also also a lot ot Yiddish in German language and German in Yiddish language it's really interested. So if you speak and/or understand German I can send you a link that shows all the parallels it's so cool to see how interwoven the German culture is and its also in other countries. The reason why it became that way might be tragic but the good that came out of it is still beautiful.

@@marving.8868 I moved to Germany from the U.S. I lived in Berlin for 6 years but unfortunately I no longer live in Germany. I’ve been living in Canada since 2009. I am quite familiar with Yiddish too. I have watched entire interviews in Yiddish on RU-vid and was able to understand most of what was being said.

Compared to Polish food, because that's where I come from, unfortunately German food is not the best😬. Especially sausages... always white and have a strange taste, but sometimes I find something that I like😅

He made a huge effort to make homemade and warm meals, though, and tried to meet some of her food preferences. It would be sweet if she returned the favor by making Vietnamese food that is tailored to his preferences as well ❤

Why outrageous? He got to make her some of the most typical German foods and ones he thought she would like. Uyen should also make him ones that she thinks he might like.

The idea of a transitional phase in a new place is a very good one in general, thank you for sharing!

I noticed Uyen had a big problem with cheese. Is that something Asians typically overcome if given enough time/exposure to less intensive cheeses?

​@@p.s.shnabel3409😂

Sorry but your comment doesn't make sense. First you say german food is too salty for asian people but then you say it is missing umami taste and that's why they like Maggi that is salty af... So which is it??

@@blablabla-fp9ch well have you tried the Oyster Sauce? It is an example for cooking ingredient that gives the umami beside being a bit salty. Being from north Vietnam, Uyens Taste might be already be a bit more salty than people from middle and south vietnam but as the food in her home area might be cooked with fish sauce and bột canh (a mixture of salt and other ingredient including glutamat) and eaten with alot of vegetables and rice, in general it tastes less salty and more complex. In comparision to that, we mostly use salt in german so we can only get the saltiness from that. Magi also has its own taste beside being salty and therefore fit better to asian taste palate than pure salt. In the last years I found that using the red salt that sell in german supermarket like rewe also makes the food "softer" and better for my asian taste. Maybe someone with more knownledge can explain this.

It depends on the family's personal traditions whether they eat to meals - or even three 😂 - meals a day which mostly contain bread with something on it. But in my family, especially on the weekend, it's quite common to cook two warm meals a day. Well, I guess for most people here bread is a convenient food option for when they are in school or at their job - it's easy to take with you from home in lunchboxes 👍

Same!

Where do you live? :)

Which one(s)? I'll try to search some for you.

Go by heart! As long as the right ingredients are in, you’ll be fine. The amount of seasoning is very individual and depends actually on how salty you eat. For every other kind of spice: Don’t go overboard! There mostly just support and shouldn’t be the main-flavor like in other more strong, flavorful cuisines, like Indian. German cuisine is mainly… hearty and umami, I’d say 🤔.

@@pflaumina definitely some french insight within german food cuisine, it's about the flavours you have and not going overboard anything.. a lot of parsley is great in some dishes, but like you say, putting a lot of it in stuff like knoedel or the frikadelle destroys what it is supposed to taste like. it's why i love italian and french cuisine, they're true masters of letting the few ingredients shine or not destroy the main flavor base of said dishes. i think that's the case all over europe but sadly food culture has gone really bad in germany the last 100 + years

Asians are not big fans of Western food in general. I am very sure that if she visited Ireland she would have the exact same feelings about the food.

You are looking for Frikadellen (meat balls), Kartoffelsalat (potato salad), Apfelstrudel, Leberkäse (but that's usually not made at home, usually you buy IT somewhere, because of the equipment you would need to make it), Semmelknödel (dumplings), Pilzrahmsauce (mushroom sauce) and Rotkraut (takes a long time to cook, maybe you can get it canned and you add some spices, apple, Red wine, etc to give some more flavour) For the Frikadellen you need minced meat (50% pork 50% beef, WITHOUT being pre salted/spices, IT get's to salty/spicy, when you cook it), salt, pepper (freshly grounded), onion, mustard, eggs, old and dry bread (water to soak it in), majoran or oregano, parsley, maybe a Spice Mix you like. Mix it together with your hand and taste it before cooking. It should be a ratio of 500g minced meat, 1,5-2 of the small breads, and 2 Eggs. They should be kinda soft and "fluffy" after cooking. The Semmelknödel are made from old and dry bread too. I don't know the ratio of the ingredients but you need milk, eggs, ham cubes (boil it shortly in water to Take some of the saltiness away), parsley, Salt and freshly grounded nutmeg. I think there is a sweet Version too 🤔. If the "dough" ist ready you put the Semmelknödel in mildly boiling water. If they float atop, they should be done. Be very careful forming the Semmelknödel. If you Made a mistake they will fall apart. For the potato salad there are thousands of recipes. I think each Family has their own 😅 The mushroom sauce is quite simple. First clean the mushrooms (Champignons or Pfifferlinge), cut the Like you prefer them, finely dice an onion. Heat up Butter in a pan until it starts to get brown, put the mushrooms in and stir fry them a bit. Add the onions and wait til they turn glassy. Add a bit of flour (~teaspoon). Add a Shot of White wine or better brandy (be careful, the Brandy can burn). Let it reduce for a bit. Add a cup of cream and wait for it to get nice and thick to your liking. Taste it and add Salt, Pepper and Parsley to it. The Rotkraut needs a Lot of work and time. It's usually made in large quantities and Frozen after that, so you can use IT, when you need it. My father was a chef and makes it once a year mostly for christmas. He cooks it with the fat of goose, duck or pork, depending on which one he has around 😅 you need rotkraut, apples, rice, applejuice, red wine, cloves, cinnamon (whole), bayleaf, Salt and Onion. He sears the Rotkraut with the onions first, adds the apples, juice, Red wine, dry rice, etc and lets it cook on Low Heat for hours. You can adjust the colour of the Rotkraut with acids (red) like vinegar or Lemon juice and bases (purple) Like sugar or natron. That's why it's called Rotkraut (Red kraut) and Blaukraut (blue Kraut) in different regions, but the blue is more Like a purple.

Germany being roughly in the middle of Europe, and linking the "barbaric" north with the mediterranean former Roman empire, has always exchanged food culture with neighbors. Many thing that are considered local specialities, can have a nearly identical counterpart somewhere else far away. At the same time, food traditions can change dramatically over quite short distances.

One of the few things I was able to bring along to the US was my Spaetzlewunder. It's a kind of specialized "sieve" for making spaetzle and it saves oh so much time and is easier than any other device I've ever used. BTW the Apfelstrudel makes a lot of sense if your Italian family is originally from Tirol? They eat pretty much a lot of the same foods as southern Germany. Do you have a special recipe, with some interesting twist? I'd be willing to share my (new AND improved) recipe for Hefezopf.

Omg! A brazilian who knows (and likes) Spätzle???? Please MARRY ME. (Not even imoortant what gender you are hahhahah)

Também, menos a salada de batata com caldo de carne. Essa eu nunca vi!

incredible!

I never knew potato salad was a northern German thing. I always associated it with super white bread Midwestern American food. And we use mayonnaise.

​@@ferretyluvGermans are called Potatoes. Well I guess we named ourselves that. But it should tell you how much we love potatoes, so potato salad is very dear to us. It's served at every family gathering, barbeque or holiday (at least for my family) :D

​@@ferretyluvSweden lives for potato salad in the summer too. We have both versions but the mayo kind is probably the most common one...

@@erikak8665 That must be why it’s so midwestern. Lotta people descended from Scandinavians.

In Austria, people do either vinegar or mayo, but afaik at least my grandma doesn't use broth for the vinegar one. Red (!) onions, white balsamico or apple cider vinegar and some neutral oil, I think. And you put the marinade on when the potatoes are still warm, so they soak it up better :) I love my grandma's potato salad, my whole meal could be just that hahaha (or with breaded fish or schnitzel mmmh)

German food is as varied as the myriad of influences on Germany. I personally hate seafood and some of the food combinations up north. But I absolutely love home-made Semmelknoedel with a Schweinshaxn. I guess if you love spicy food, then Germany doesn't offer much? Unless you count horse radish. But apart from that, there's so much to love. I've immigrated to the US and share my German food on the regular, so far nothing but praises.

Semmelknödel mit Schweinshax'n is amazing ❤❤❤

Every countries' food is different depending on the regions. Still in comparison German food is pretty bland and doesn't offer much. I also don't know any German restaurants where I live, mostly Italian, Turkish and East/Southasian ones.

@@JewelryB How do you come to the conclusion that German food is bland? There's more to tasty food than being hot. For example, I've never heard anyone complain that the French cuisine is bland, or Italian food. Honest question: are you German or have you lived in Germany to be able to make that kind of call?

@@p.s.shnabel3409 I‘ve been living here for 20 years. I never talked about spices though. Bland = boring = not much to offer. Of course you would not hear that Italian cuisine is bland since they have so many varieties. I‘ve never in my life have heard anyone say (not even Germans) that German food is really tasty or good. Usually when we talk about German food people say „We have bread, Sauerkraut, Brezel, Wurst and Nudelsalat“. That‘s not even called a dish in other countries + these things are not typical German either. I‘ve lived in Korea and Turkey for a few years and the food culture there is insane. From breakfast to dinner to desserts to snacks to drinks, it is extremely rich.
