Second this. We are on our way "home", whatever this means after 15 years of cruising the world on our sailboat. Homeport: Hamburg. And even though I am very sad that our trip comes to an end now, I am grateful for this video because... never been to Oberhafenkantine! We have a new destination! Thanks! By the way: the one thing I have been craving all these years is "matjes". Whenever we were on vacation in Germany, one of the first things to eat was matjes (closely followed by Rotwurst/Blutwurst; aka blood sausage - the best being the Hessian "Ahle Rotwurst"). And: Rote Grütze - the word Grütze has "grits" in it. The red coulor comes from the red fruit, yes, but the somewhat more solid consistency from the starchy "grits", such as semolina, rice flour or even pearl barley.

@Ricardo-_- 2 года назад

One thing you should try is „Grünkohl and Pinkel“. It is a typical to northern Germany. Unfortunately the season is only in winter (Nov-Mar). But if your up north during that time of year you should definitely try it. Locally we usually eat it at the end of a „Kohlfahrt“. That is where we get together in a group, take a longer walk through the flat lands of northern Germany, drink beer and play some games and fend the day with a large helping of Grünkohl with some Pinkel sausages and often other meat aswell.

Hello, dear family, every time I see a new video of you, I am happy how excited you are about Germany. Most Americans probably only know a few sightseeing destinations from Southern Germany, especially Bavaria, because the Americans stationed their occupying forces there after World War II. The western part of northern Germany was occupied by the French and the British, and the whole of the east by the Russians. But just as southern Germany does not only consist of Munich, northern Germany does not only consist of Hamburg. Germany is a melting pot of many German tribes but also many other nationalities. Poles, French, Italians, Romans, Spaniards and Turks have left their mark on German culture and cuisine. I hope I haven't forgotten anyone now. I think it would be great if you found out on your discovery tours through Germany how diverse this country is and if you could convey that to your compatriots on the other side of the Atlantic. I wish you all the best and a good time in Germany and Europe.

@@TypeAshton In Bremerhaven, you had the chance to go to the Fischereihafen (not to confuse with the Schaufensterfischereinhafen) and find some business-focused and traditional fish shops that also sell to end customers. They provide fresh fish and Fischbrötchen, like the latter one in Hamburg. It's the total opposite of fanciness but it means to me how Bremerhavener are. These businesses are popular among the workers in the harbor. You, unfortunately, missed the Seute Deern by a couple of years, it was a traditional sailship that was located in the museum's harbor and had a very nice restaurant in it. It burned down in 2019 and sank.

the dessert you had was with vanilla sauce. It is a classic German dessert. The berries are usually forest berries (rasp-, straw- and blackberries together with some cherries and red currants. I would have been very interested hearing your opinion about the Labskaus. Especially because the looks of it usually apall people but I love the mixed taste of potatoes with corned beef and pickled red beet.

@TypeAshton 2 года назад

Thanks for breaking down the berries. We tasted many... but were unsure what was actually in it. For the Labskaus, we enjoyed eating it but unfortunately had to cut the clip in editing due to an upset child and loud restaurant. It was good, but we were both OK with a smaller portion size. Perhaps during the winter a larger portion would be a little bit more appetizing.

@6666Imperator 2 года назад

@@TypeAshton thanks for your reply! It did look a bit fatty (maybe due to the eggs that were served on top) and very minced. What I like about it is that it is very easy to make (mashing the Corned Beef, fresh onion and cooked potatoes together with a bit of the pickled red beet juice, salt and pepper served on the side with an egg, Rollmops (the hering you also had on the plate) or the pickled red beet / cucumber)) and if you make it yourself the bonus is that the pieces are bit bigger and it will not be as fatty. But I agree a colder weather should be beneficial for it. Historically it was a dish served on ships due to the durability of the ingredients. I hope your second try will be better! :)

Hallo and moin from Germany! I just wanted to say a huge thank you, that you tried out our north German food - because often my impression is that people from the state's think, that there is only the southern part of Germany like Munich with all that nice food there, but how you both founded out - there is more to discover like Hamburg - and I was very pleased that you both seemed too enjoyed these tiny little shrimps (Nordseekrabben) from the north see - they're probably some of the best things what you can find here - you asked to tell if there is anything else nice to eat that you can enjoy from the north of Germany - there is this very small island named "Helgoland" in the north see - there you can enjoy this lobster from this region which is also very recommendable - but also the "Heidschnucke" - a wild sheep - also very nice tasting (if you like the taste of sheep) a little bit more strong taste - I didn't see jet all of your films - so I don't know if you tried "Knipp" or "Kohl mit Pinkel" - not for beginner's 🤣 but also something you can enjoy - so I wish still a nice time to enjoy the food from northern Germany 👍😁

if you are going more north (heading to the westcoast) to "Büsum, Husum ..... etc." you are in the real north of germany. its worth to explore the area and a must try is "Scholle, Findenwerder Art or Büsum Art". very traditional german seafood. a few years ago you could buy it directly from the boats that catched them. and again. your editing gets better and better. iam feeling a lil bit proud that you like the north where i have lived my entire life. but please you need to go more north and explore the landscape because Hamburg is for me already the south of germany ^^. greetings

Tipp for your next visit: Visit the "Altona Fischmarkt" in the very early mornings of a Sunday (starts about 4:00am). This is seeing Hamburg people of all different colors at one spot. Party people from St. Pauli district that were partying throughout the night are coming down there and breakfast. Old people enjoying an early breakfast with live music. And traditional fish salesmen shouting their funny traditional cheers to get people to buy fish and/or vegetables in ridiculous amounts. You are never gonna forget that, I assure ya 😄

I am from Hamburg, and nothing against the sour fish but you need to try "Aalrauchmatjes" and "geräucherter Aal" (smoked eel). In addition, I strongly suggest coming back in Winter for the "Grünkohlzeit" or "Grünkohlsaison", which usually starts after the first frost. Oh, the "eu" in Streusel is pronounced "oy/oi". For really spicy food unfortunately you need to go either a Turkish restaurant or somewhere that has a spice challenge.

It's the most hearty food I know, with the fact that it's cooked in the broth from the Kassler and the fat-dripping Pinkelwurst. It's even more hearty than Sauerkraut, Schweinshaxen, Bratwurst or red cabbage. The only other dish that comes close is Knipp, another traditional winter food (from northern Germany, as far as I know).

I am sure you don't want to read this, but I write it anyway: Spicier food is just a way to hide the fact the main incidents of the dishes are not really fresh and good tasting. A way to make lesser appear to be more interesting. Really good food needs just some simple spices to give some additional contrast or uplift the natural tastes. So, if the food is spicy, thinking what it is used for to hide from you or what is missing from the main ingredients..

To add to your food experiences: Hamburg had been heavily destroyed during the second world war; it shares this fate with Berlin leaving both cities nearly entirely stripped of their pitoresque buildings, becoming more cultural interesting. But the north of Germany has to offer pitoresque cities as well as the south, e.g. Lübeck, Stralsund or Greifswald at the coast or near the coast and Lüneburg or Celle in lower saxony. In Lübeck you should have a look at "Cafe Niederegger" as a sweat threat.

In Germany, when a menu says that a certain dish is "pikant" or "würzig", this means that actually spices were used in the process of cooking that dish, and "scharf", "sehr scharf" or "Vorsicht, scharf" usually means "may contain some chili peppers, but not really hot ones", even in Thai or Mexican restaurants. If you are looking for something really spicy, look out for joints that display the Scoville scale, there you might find what you are looking for.

Another food which is typical north german is "Birnen, Bohnen und Speck". But I doubt, you would get that in a restaurant. Preparation is easy: you peel potatos, put them in the pot first, then green beans on top of it, pears halved and some really fatty meat (pig cheekpiece of stomach) and/or the typical "Kochwurst" (saussage for cooking, alternatively Mettenden mildly smoked) at the top. Cook for about half an hour and enjoy. Am living now in Hessia and good saussage to use for cooking are hard to come by here (at least for my taste).

Wonderful video 😊 I think it's really nice that you've made your way to explore the north. Hamburg is always a good choice. It's not for nothing that this city is nicknamed "The Gateway to the World"/ "Das Tor zur Welt", very open and international. Anyone who wants to visit Germany , should definitely be on his list. But the rest of northern Germany is also highly recommended, both coasts have their own appeal and charm with their very own style, humor and way of life. I think it's a sad that so many visitors from North America come together focus on the south, which is really very nice and beautiful, no question about it. But anyone who has seen Bavaria has not visited Germany, but only a very small, well-known part with all the clichés. If, on the other hand, you visit the north or other parts of Germany, then you quickly realize how different this country actually is, also in terms of mentality. I am therefore pleased that you are gaining such wonderful experiences and that it is easy to hear that the little man is having fun too. On that note, cheers 🥂🍻

@DarkDodger 2 года назад

Glad you made it to our corner of the country! Well, as any real northerner will tell you, Hamburg is basically the southern tip of the north, but still. With how "small" Germany is compared to the US, a lot of Americans don't expect the massive variety of local dishes. With local histories going back over a thousand years, you can find interesting things to eat wherever you go, and simply driving for an hour might put you in an entirely different region. It's great to see some of our specialties in the spotlight. I'm (sadly) not big on fish, so my personal favorite out of everything you had is definitely the Rote Grütze. It doesn't translate well, "Red Gruel" doesn't quite capture the same level of tastiness. It's a thick compote-like dish made from several different kinds of berries, usually with whole berries in it. It is most often served as you had it, with sweet vanilla sauce to counter the tartness of the berries. Fun fact: There is even ready-made rote grütze (and vanilla sauce of course) available in a lot of supermarkets, so if you want to have it as a dessert at home without doing any of the work, you can.

Like with sweet peas or artichokes: you need to have it once, to compare it. Much into cooking, myself: I like to taste fishcake from different fishmongers. My favourites are from "Fischkiste" in Pinneberg and "Rellinger Fischladen" as well as the salmon fishcakes from EDEKA Struwe in Eidelstedt, Hamburg.

"kale with piss" (Pinkel is a very fatty sausage made from muscle meat, bacon, gruel and onions). It's the seasonal dish everywhere between Lower Saxony and the Danish border. Although the meat served with it often differs. The most typical around Hamburg though is said Pinkel.

Hey, if you like fish very much, I'd recommend you to try Scholle Finkenwerder Art, it was created in Finkenwerder, a small island in Hamburg, you can get there in about 30 minutes with the ferry from the city center. There are many restaurants in Hamburg where you can try it, but I'd try to eat it in Finkenwerder or somewhere in Altes Land, which are both located in the south-west part of Hamburg. For example, there's a really good restaurant called Gasthaus zur Post in Cranz, but it takes a bit more then an hour from the city center to get there. But if you have the time and want to try it, I'd recommend you to go there and try it yourself on your next trip! P.s.

I'm watching this just *after* my dinner which is probably a good thing, otherwise I would have probably over-ordered on take-away... When it comes to German food seen from abroad, it goes back to what I have once read as the two Germanys. Because you see, Germany is one country, incredibly diverse, but really you can easily divide it into the Germany of the Sea, and the Germany of the Forest. You of course reside on the forest side, which is the Germany known abroad. It's Schnitzel and big beer glasses and loud and really culturally looking South and East, towards central Europe, the alps and beyond. Now I am from the sea side, being originally from Niedersachsen. It's the Germany that culturally, linguistically, historically has always looked North and West. We are somewhat closer to the Dutch and English, and our Nordic friends than to Austrians, Italians or Swiss. Somewhat quiter according to cliche, our food is also traditionally lighter (more fish, less Weißwurst). By the way, next month I am moving to the other side of Germany, to Karlsruhe, and it really feels like moving to a different country. I'll trade my current view of the sea for the Black Forest and my fish and chips for Schäufle. Isn't it amazing what sort of diverse culture you can have within really a day travel...?

We hope to showcase more in a second video debuting in a couple of weeks. We are going to group Hamburg, Bremen and some other Northern sites. Specifically, we will showcase the Miniature Wonderland, the Old Elbe Tunnel and St. Michael's crypt. ♥️
