Mett? No thanks.
I didn't like the Schweinshaxe in Germany. I loved the Alsacian version of Schweinshaxe, though. It tasted heavenly just across the border.
If German food is like DW reporting, no thanks, I don't eat bland food.
German? You meant american right? There is no more german lol
Love all these foods but unfortunately the last few years wheat and gluten give me stomach cramps… Others gluten free in Germany… Please give me your tips and recommendations! ❤
No. Only perverts eat Schweinshaxe. Serious – this dish is very rare to find in german restaurants.
OOOOH! Schweinhaxe! With a knodel! White Asparagus with Hollandaise! Bretzeln! Pickled herring! But I never had spaghetti ice cream. With strawberry purre and ground chestnuts? OMG. I miss my business trips to Germany.
In central Pennsylvania, it’s pork and sauerkraut. We have a lot of people with German ancestry.
Jaaaaa, n gutes Mattjes Brötchen!!!!
❤🔥💘💚
I love Germany, the people, the culture and the language. I am not a fan of meat and potatoes, but i love sauerkraut, the German breads, pretzels and their cake…..absolutely divine! I cant wait to visit Germany….❤❤❤
❤️❤️❤️❤️
My mom was from Germany and my dad was of German heritage so just about everything you have in this episode is comfort food for me! Danke schön!😊
Don't forget the Mettbrötchen 🤤
Bet the latest refugees don't like the first recipe😂
Oh Mann, hab ich jetzt Appetit auf ein Krabbenbrötchen! Oder wenigstens ne Fischfrikadelle…
He’s using a bread knife to prepare garlic..
I'm Aussie. My dishes are corned beef and cauliflower in white sauce. Roast lamb/ mutton with mint sauce m served with roast veges.
MEAT IS MURDER ‼️
Being a chef for over 40 years I always enjoy reports like this from DW and look forward to each and every report thank you😊
You want to correct that error with baking soda, no baker worth his salt would do something so amateurish. They use Lye / Lauge, that gives that distinct flavor. You can add a correction via a title to the video, it is a glaring really amateurish error to make from somebody that knows nothing about how to make Bretzeln.
Dat jute Semmel
I got curious about the spaghetti Ice cream, I need to try it
Warum zur Scholle startet ihr mit Dirndel & Bayrischem Fraß?!
Deutschland ist NICHT Bayern ! hat das diebische Bergvolk überhaupt schon den Euro?
I love Germany
i dont want to try any of those!
The trip to Disney was not very good. Except for the Epcot German restaurant.
Wo ist mein Döner????
"Niemand nimmt mir mein Schnitzel" 😤 Alice aus dem Temu-Wunderland 😁
Ostdeutsche oder Westdeutsche Küche kommen nicht vor. Ich liebe Grünkohl. Himmel un Äd. Sauerbraten.
'flagship of german baking' Pretzel??? no?? that's bread??!
The spaghetti ice cream thing is pure genius. I've never see that before. At first, I thought there were actual pasta noodles used in the desert.
