The Maggi Würze actually tastes exactly like the herb "lovage" (German word is "Liebstöckel"), which is sometimes also called maggi-herb ("Maggi-Kraut"). I got to know it as a kid when people mostly used it to spice up things like chicken soup.

Something fun to try would be "Ahoi Brause" - ask your husband about it. It's a sort of powder which you have to put into water to create a soda like drink. But the most "fun" with it we had as kids. We would tear up a package and put that powder straight in our mouths. After a few moments that powder would react with the saliva in your mouth and that mixture would rapidly expand and even came up your nose. Nothing I would be keen on doing now but it was definitely a fun experience as a kid🤣.

I have made quite a few trips to Berlin and every time we would go there my wife would insist that we go to NordSee restaurant and she would eat a Matjes Herring sandwich. ( She was born and lived in Berlin before emigrating to USA) She would always try to get me to try it, but I was like you and said I wouldn't like it, But I finally gave in and took a bite. I was hooked and even though I stiil make the trip about every 2 years ( wife died in 2015) I still have at least 1 Matjes herring sandwich. Most Nordsee are gone now in Berlin.

♥️♥️♥️ I love this story though, and also such a sweet memory of your wife! Sadly, you’re right! Most are gone now ... at least the matjes sandwich still lives on though! ✊✊ thanks for sharing your memories with us, it made me smile! 🥰

@petereggers7603 3 года назад

Don't mix up Matjes and "Bismarck-Hering" (which is the basis of the rolled-up Rollmops version)...both are basicly haring, but...Matjes is kind of fermented and only very young harings are allowed. "Bismarck-Hering" is pickled, preserved in vinegar. I find Matjes very milde while the sour one isn't my tea at all.

@haraldreimann-trusheim2993 3 года назад

Schwip Schwap (Pepsi) is like Mezzo Mix (Coca Cola) a remake of the german Spezi. Spezi was originally from southern Germany in some regions called "Kalter Kaffee". The Goldsaft is in my opinion best compared to a very strong maple sirup. You can get "Heller Goldsaft" which comes close in intensity to a grade b or c maple sirup. People not only use it as a spread, but used it similar to maple sirup for baking or as a topping on pancakes. It is simply the unrefined juice of a "Zuckerrübe". It is mostly known "am Niederrhein" and the Region around Düsseldorf. A Rollmops is Hering wrapped around pickles in a marinade made of vinegar and salt. The marinade triggers chemical processes in the fish similar to cooking. So the fish isn't raw. If you don't like the look you can try smoked rollmops or "Bratrollmops". Remoulade is short for "sauce remoulade" which originates in french cuisine, so it is not typical german as is sauce mayonnaise (short Mayo :-) ).

Hey Jenna, ich schau mir deine Videos echt gern an weil du alles immer so gut gelaunt erzählst! 😁 Ich bin aus München und mein Mann ist Düsseldorfer. Ich hab selbst 3 Jahre mit ihm in Düsseldorf gewohnt bis wir vor 6 Jahren nach München gezogen sind und muss deshalb auch voll oft grinsen was du über deine Erfahrungen erzählst. Manches ist für mich typisch NRW, weil ich das aus Bayern nicht kenne 😁 In diesem Video ist es die Remoulade und die Maggie Würze. Remoulade verwendet man in Bayern nur für Backfisch, Fischstäbchen oder vielleicht mal bei einem Eierbrötchen und Maggie habe ich früher nie gekauft. Mein Mann der Düsseldorfer braucht aber echt viel Remoulade und in jede Suppe muss Maggie rein! 😅 Den Rollmops kann ich dir aber nur empfehlen! Mit rohen Zwiebeln im Brötchen, super lecker! 😃 Die anderen Sachen finde ich teilweise auch eklig und frag mich oft wer die eigentlich kauft! 😳 Danke für so amüsante Videos und probier den Rollmops! 🤪 Grüße aus München

Sirup (Goldsaft) is delicious. It's similar to dark honey. Maggi is pure salt with a taste of Liebstöckl (Maggikraut). It's for people who can't cook and want some taste on their meal.

Servus Jenna, Nice to see, what a lovely surprise on Saturday evening. A rollmops is perfect after a long night, i guess you heard about the Katerfrühstück in Germany, something very common in Germany at the first of January, after New year. Some nice German bread, different kind of fish like to rollmops, a Bloody Mary and maybe some champagne or sparkling wine. I can't believe that lovely open minded lady from Canada doesn't like to try a fish. Afterwards, if you say i still don't like that's fine for me 😊 The aspik one is called Sülze in many regions in Germany, an easy dish especially in the summertime, you can eat the meat one with some remoulade and potatoes, remoulade is also very tasty to cold cuts from veal, beef or sometimes for a pan fried breaded fish. Sülze is something very special, usually a product from the butcher against to much waste. Thank you very much for your lovely video. 🥂

Your accent is brilliant. I've hardly ever heard an English speaker be so on point with vowel nuance and word stress. German vowels are super difficult for English speakers to wrap their tongue around but you're doing an amazing job.

To explain Rollmops : it's just Hering in a mixture of vinegar water and salt... if you like pickles and fish, try it! Grafschafter Goldsaft is mostly similar to Melasse... the thickend syrup of an high amount of sugar containing plant. And tubes out of metal are much easier to recycle than plastic bottles and more hygienic. 😉

@myxochi 3 года назад

My granny used to make that aspic “stuff”(?). As a child it used to put me off, then I ended up really liking it. Regarding tube food, she used to buy a liver worst from Kitchener that was so yummy, and it came from a tube. She used to put some inside/on celery for us as a treat. It was called a little Baumstamm. Is Würze like Worcestershire Sauce? We put it in ground beef when we make hamburgers, and we use it in meat sauces or stews. Abendbrot is how we ate as kids on the farm. My father’s side came to Canada from Germany in the early 1800s, so I guess granny and gramps (and Oma & Opa -> my great-grandparents) continued some of these goody traditions here in Canada.

@silkehagemann8677 3 года назад

The main ingredient of Maggi Würze is lovage (Liebstöckel or Maggikraut!) and probably a lot of salt.

I love that the traditions were able to continue and carry over to Canada (and of course in Kitchener - little Germany haha 🇨🇦🥰) I think Würze is very similar to Worcestershire sauce, yes! Or at least I find it tastes similar.

Remoulade is basically a mayonaise that is easy and way much better to make it on your own than the stuff you get in the groceries. Just put mayonnaise in a bowl and ad onions, pickles and a hard boiled egg all cutted into small pieces. As some salt and pepper to it and parsley and it’s ready to eat. Zuckerrübensirup, well it’s the German maple syrup I would say. It’s not that much sweet as maple syrup, but it’s tasty. But to be honest: I am not sure if you will like it. Würze is basically a Disgraceed amplifier. For example, when you are eating a soup by scratch it can happen that the soup is tasty, but taste like that something is missing. Put some generous drops of Würze in the soup and you will see that the soup is tasting way much better. Grannies using this a lot. I prefer to ad some drops on my hard boiled egg instead of salt. I love it.

Remoulade equals to Tartar sauce somehow. Not quite, but it is getting there. In Tartar sauce there are usually diced pickled cucumbers, chopped capers and tiny diced onions where in Remoulade these are missing. It depends. The Gourmet Remoulade from Thomy is actually Tartar sauce. It goes very well with fish sticks or fish covered in bread crust in general. If you like the Filet-o-Fish vom McDo this sauce is pretty much exactly the same.

Rollmops (mariniertec Heringe) - you can also eat them with boiled potatoes ("Salzkartoffeln") but but "mehlige Kartoffeln" (soft ones, falling into crumbs) rathern than hard ones ("festkochend"), because you want them to soak up the marinade.

Rollmops is a rolled up herring with pickle in the middle held together with toothpick like thingies. When it is on a sandwich, it is not rolled up and has no pickle. Then it is called Bismarckhering. Same thing but not rolled, hence no roll.

@mizapf 3 года назад

Zuckerrübensirup tastes similar to honey. Remoulade is like a spiced, slightly sour mayonnaise. And Maggi Würze is actually a liquid spice mostly made of mono sodium glutamate and yeast extract. No issue for me, I don't believe in stuff like MSG intolerance, but I believe you can spice up your meals better than using Maggi.

@EK-gr9gd 3 года назад

Zuckerrübensirup schmeckt nicht so wie Honig, eher mehr nach Eisen. Gut vielleicht schmeck ich das mehr raus. Aber in den Rüben ist, ähnlich wie in Äpfeln relativ viel Eisen drin.

Yes, for a long time it was used as a cheap substitute for honey. But for some purposes it is quite useful, bking gingerbread for example.

Not sure if thats common or just a family thing. xD Never had it on toast or bread. I tried it on pancakes once but that was the furthest I ventured out with it. And I love the condiments in tubes.

Especially Tomato paste it lasts so long even well after the expiration date so I just throw it in there and when I need it its buried under there haha Edit: The U.F.O. candy isn't ricepaper or waffle or anything the like. It's basically the thing you get at christian church (Oblaten) . The 'candy' version is called ''Esspapier'' (edible paper) It's basically just starch and sugar. The neutral tasting kind is sold in the baking section. It is often used for sticky things as a layer between the cookie or whatever is it you are baking and the baking tray. I always connect them with 'Kokosmaronen' a shredded coconut sweet popular around Christmas time which have an 'Oblaten' at the bottom, or the round Lebkuchen you get everywhere around Christmas has it as well.

As a German many items you presented wouldn't make it into my shopping cart. Actually some of them are simply disgusting. Rollmops, Aspik etc. taste gross. However Düsseldorfer Löwensenf is one of the best and well know bands in Germany producing mustrad. And Remoulade is a fine add-on or ingredient for certain dishes. Maggi Würze or simply referred to as Maggi is one of the few brand-/product names that stand for a whole group of product. Like Tesafilm that here in Germany is often used for all kinds of sellotapes or Tempo is used for all kind of tissues and Nivea Creme is often used for all kind of basic body care cremes. Schwip-Schwap was the Pepsi answer to the Coca-Cola Mezzomix. And both are just an attempt to offer something that is similar to the genuine Brand Spezi from Augsburg based Brauhaus Riegele.

@@lifeingermany_ Hi Jenna, as already said there are these products (Tesa/Tesafilm, Nivea [Creme]) from the Beiersdorf AG based in Hamburg. Furthermore they are also the ones producing the lip balm stick called Labello. Labello is often used for all kind of these sticks even if they are from other companies. Same goes for Leukoplast also from Beiersdorf. Leukoplast is this beige adhesive tape/patch used to fix a bandage. Not a German product but the same is valid for Pampers from the US company Procter & Gamble. The designation Pampers is often used here for all kind of Diapers. Another product from a German brand is Uhu. It's the name of the Brand as well as for their adhesive products calls Uhu (Slogan: Im Falle eines Falles klebt Uhu wirklich alles 😊). Uhu is often used for all kind of basic adhesive products to glue for example sheets of paper together. Similar situation for the adhesive sticks from Henkel AG & Co. KGaA called Pritt. If you say Pritt/Pritt Stift anybody in Germany knows what you are talking about. Another example is Tipp-Ex from the German Tipp-Ex Vertrieb GmbH & Co. KG. Tipp-Ex is a product to correct mistakes you make while handwriting or typing with typewriter. One more example is the German company Edding AG. Their products simply named Edding stand for all kind of markers (...reich mal den Edding rüber...). Not to forget Aspirin from the German Bayer AG. Aspirin is know all over the world for their painkillers. If you ask someone for an Aspirin everybody immediately knows what you are asking for and they will offer you all kind of painkillers like Aspirin, Ibuprofen, Thomapyrin, Paracetamol etc.. Another product name that is used for all kind of the chocolate spreads is Nutella from the Italian company Ferrero. One more brand/product that comes to my mind are these boxes from the US company Tupperware. If you ask for Tupperware anybody in Germany will hand out some kind of plastic boxes to you for your food. One more are these cotton buds to clean your ears. They are often referred to as Q-Tips (US invention) regardless from which brand they are. And finally there are these paper towels everybody calls Zewa and tissues anybody knows as Tempo/Tempo Taschentücher. Nowadays Zewa and Tempo are owned by the Swedish company Essity.

I am German too. :-) Seeing all these meaty and fishy spreads in the local supermarkets here I have always been reminded of a laboratory we had back in pre-school (and that´s why I strictly avoid them). Once a year all the kids got to see all the glass-containers the laboratory had in its shelfs. They had all kinds of different body parts of animals, like tongues, claws, hearts and stuff like that, and even a human brain that the first principal of the school had donated to the school after his dead. I vibrantly remember how pale and creepy it looked in its container marinating there (probably for ages) in alcohol.

Hi, well, as a German I often buy those meats and vegetables "in Aspik". The reason is: I know and SEE the ingredients. I know, how they make Aspik but more important: I see the pieces of meat (or the veggies) and I can be sure about what I eat. See, other sausages are made of minced meat, and if you look on the list of ingredients (have to be listed in Germany) you will often find less meat (not knowing which part of the animal they minced) and even substitutes that get some meat flavour from chemistry. So, what I like about "in Aspik" is: The more I can see the muscle meat they put in, the more I can be sure that I do not eat some other weird parts of an animal ... or not even meat at all.

@ichdu1003 3 года назад

I had to laught out loud, when I was listening to you🤣, you are right, some things are really strange 😅. "Rollmops" you can try, if you like vinegar and you will be surprised how good it fits together with fish and the roll makes it less sour. 👍 I like "Bismarckhering" more, because I don't need the pickles, but the fish is the same. Different sausages in glasses are very tasty, because they are well spiced, it's worth a try! "Remoulade" belongs to breaded fish, nothing else, my taste 🤣, but some people use it for everything-don't do that, it's false, my opinion!👌 Tubes are great, if you can handle toothpaste, if not, be carefull, because wrong use can end up with divorces, when one party presses on the front, which makes it hard to use the rest of the tube🤣. We say here in Germany: couples only fit together, if they use the tubes the same way.😬 So, back to the vinegar: If you like vinegar and sour stuff at all, then I invite you to "Sauerbraten" a recipe from my greatgrandmother (not the one from Düsseldorf, with the grapes😬👎, it's from Hessen👍) and Blaukraut (bavarian👍) and of course: Knödel!!! in autumn or winter (you can't eat that, when it's hot...👎) Just write me, if you are interested...we still can order pizza, if you don't like it😅🤣

@MichaEl-rh1kv 3 года назад

Don't fear slimyness in Rollmops. It isn't. But it is surely sour. In the South we don't say 'Aspik', but simply 'Sülze'. I would never bay the packages with slices you showed. But a well made "Tellersülze" (= a soup plate filled with Sülze containing meat and vegetables), together with fried potatoes could make a fine and refreshing dinner in summertime. Originally it was made and eaten by poor people (often domestics) from odds and ends. But it es not supposed to be sliced like sausage. 3:40 That seems to be a regional thing. It looks a little bit like corned beef, but made from pigs? Never saw this in my groceries. 4:00 Yeah, weird. It is syrup or rather treacle made from sugar beets. As far as I know it is mostly sold in the key growing areas for sugar beets in North Rhine Westfalia and was most popular during WW II and the years after. 5:10 Most Germans would assume the tubism was born in the US. "Space food" (Astronautennahrung in German) ist often pictured to be in tubes. Most products (except toothpaste) are now available in glass containers, too. 6:10 Remoulade is actually a kind of mayonaisse sauce and only rarely used south of the river Main. But if, then it would be expected to be housemade and directly consumed, not buyed at a grocery containing loads of preserving agents. ;) 6:50 Julius Maggi was a Swiss entrepeneur who invented the famous Maggi-Würze made mostly from wheat as a cheaper competitive product to Liebig's extract of meat. It contains flavor enhancers like glutamate which make dishes more "umami". The main aroma resembles lovage, and so lovage is often called also Maggi herb - but it is not an ingredient of the "Würze". 8:10 The mix of Cola and orangeade is not unique to Schwip-Schwap. In many restaurants (atl least in Southern Germany) you can order a spezi which is exactly this. The name Spezi is actually a registered brand of Brauhaus Riegele in Augsburg, but licenced to 8 other Bavarian breweries. Schwip Schwap, produced by Pepsi, and mezzo mix, produced by Coca-Cola, hit the market much later.

Next time I go back to Freiburg I’m going to check out the grocery stores more thoroughly and see if there’s things there we don’t get in NRW for example. Super interesting!

Kommt das Fleisch aus der Dose (hier halt ein Glas) nicht aus den USA und nennt sich schlicht und einfach SPAM? Bei Netto findet man dies gelegentlich (Grobe Leberwurst,...) im Glas. Meistens aber in Dosen (hält länger frisch). Zuckerrübensirup - Ich wohne knapp 500m von der Grafschafter Goldsaft Fabrik entfernt (Bei Westwind in der Zuckerrüben Saison riecht es hier immer so schön süß-sauerlich) . Nach dem Krieg(en), als es eher darum ging die Menschen irgendwie mit Kalorien zu versorgen und wirklich den letzten Rest essbares aus Pflanzen und Tieren zu gewinnen war der "Goldsaft" ein guter Honig und Marmeladen-Ersatz. Anstelle den Saft weiter Einzukochen, Kristallieren zu lassen und zu Industriezucker weiter zu verarbeiten (Wobei dann Tonnenweise Schweinefutter als Abfall entsteht) hat man direkt das "Vorprodukt" verwendet (Ist zwar fast purer Zucker aber hat wenigstens noch minimalste Mineralienreste). Waren am Ende dann mehr Kalorien für die Menschen, weniger Abfall für die Schweinemast. Wird - wie eigentlich sehr viele ehemals "Arme Leute"- Gerichte/Lebensmittel - mitlerweile sogar in der Sterneküche verwendet, nicht als einfacher Brotaufstrich sondern zum Verfeinern von Salatdressings, Süßspeisen, Marinaden usw. Spezi - Bei uns im Rheinland (zu meiner Kindheit) oft auch als (Kinder-) Diesel bezeichnet - auch wenn Diesel ja eigentlich Bier+Cola ist.

Great on the evening buffet. I can't say anything about the sausage in the glass, I don't know them. But beet syrup! Delicious. Is sweet, but with a little bitter note. Is also used, for example, when baking dark bread (such as pumpernickel) or for coating roasts in the oven.

@karinbirkenbihl2053 3 года назад

It was invented by Julius Maggi in the late 19th century. He was a swiss miller and was looking for a cheap condiment to spice up his pea- and beanflour" soups he had invented previously. These leguminous-soup powders should enable working wives to Cook a quick meal for the family after work or in the lunch break. Unfortunately it tasted like nothing and so he tried to find some condiment and finally that was the Maggi-Würze. So he was one of the big promoters of industrialization by helping to feed the poor workers with his first fast-food products. Later Maggi was sold to Nestlé, unfortunately.

@Groffili 3 года назад

"Maggi" as a synomym for "Maggi Würze" (or Maggis Suppenwürze) is a thing in Germany, because that is how the Maggi brand started. It was created by Julius Maggi in the late 19th century as a alternative for meat concentrate (specifically Liebig's meat concentrate... industrial competition is not a new thing.) It was a hot topic at that time... all sorts of stuff getting invented to improve the food situations for the rapidly growing (and often poor) population in the cities, who couldn't get fresh food.

Goldsaft (Rübensirup) is brilliant! It always reminds me of my childhood, when I used to have it on sandwich-toast. It is a side-product from sugar-production from sugar-beet. I also give you a secret combination to eat: spread unsweetened peanut-butter on sandwich-toast and then spread some Rübensirup on top. Just saying: you should give that combination a try! As for Maggi: I remember when I was a kid you would find Maggi all over the place. People were poiring it on everything and when you were at the Würstchen-stall somewhere for Bratwurst of fries, there would be big tubes of ketchup, mustard and a bottle of Maggi for people to use and people would pour it on Schnitzel and on top of Curry-Wurst or Schaschlik.
