I'm from Germany. Firstly, it's fun to watch your reactions. The milk can be left outside in the supermarket because it has been homogenized beforehand, i.e. it has been heated to a high temperature. The carton also consists of several layers of different materials, which make it difficult for bacteria to penetrate the milk. As soon as the milk has been opened you should put it in the fridge.

2:09 Curry Ketchup is tomato ketchup mixed with „curry“ spices, which in Germany means: primarily curcuma, but quite often also other spices like mustard seed etc. One curry powder spice mix widely available contains: Curcuma, cumin, coriander, fenugreek, parsley, chili, garlic, fennel, and unspecified „spices“ (probably just residue from other spice powders produced by that particular company), another rather common one lists curcuma, cumin, curry leaf, coriander, cayenne, nutmeg as ingredients. There are even German companies offering a broad variety of curry powder mixes, like one offering English Curry, Madras Curry, Thai Curry, Green Curry and their own company’s mix (which for some reasons contains cinnamon).

Why would you pickle things? Uhm... to make them last longer and because it makes them taste good? Yes, this works with fish too.

Some cheeses stink terrible but they don't really taste like they smell. The taste is most times pretty pleasant.😊

The milk they talk about is heated up under pressure to kill germs and then sealed airtight. The germs in the milk are dead and new germs can not come into the milk. That's why it stays fresh unrefrigerated. We have fresh milk too of corse and fresh milk should be and is refrigerated 😊. Still there are no additives in the uncooled milk.😊

Fish in a jar is quite normal here in Germany. There is also tinned fish, like tuna. Or as a ready meal in cardboard packaging like the famous Iglo fish fingers.
I come from northern Germany, where fish is practically the national dish. And I also work in a company where we receive tonnes of frozen fish from all over the world every day and process it into frozen products.
The rollmops takes some getting used to because it is marinated in juice and tastes very sour. Sour herring with cucumber.
As with milk and other tinned foods, glass jars are a common and safe method of storing food.
Our grandparents used to preserve food in jars. This is called preserving. The jars are heated in a water bath so that all germs are killed.
If you have any questions about fish, please feel free to ask.

7:40 fun fact: some people in Germany jokingly state that a new invention is „the best invention since sliced bread“. :)

0:43 Emphasis on CITIES… in villages under 1.5k inhabitants you usually don’t find a single supermarket - or grocery store… or, pretty much any store at all… except for stores selling building materials, gardening equipment, other things you need for working in a rural area, and the occasional repair people… that situation used to be VERY different up until around 1990, when the big corporations bought the smaller supermarket chains and closed the small stores because they weren’t profitable enough and due to lack of space were unable to sell the whole range of the products of the big supermarket chains. In the village were my house is, there used to be two small supermarkets for a community of 500 people. In 1990, that number of shops went down to zero. (By the way, that’s not Eastern Germany - but rural Rhineland-Palatinate.)

Fish in a jar, Rollmops is really yummi :D

To clear-up the milk issue: There are two versions of milk available in Germany:
1. real fresh milk, which need to be refridgerated at all times, as everywhere else, which has not been shown here in the video.
2. H-Milk (H stands for homogenized or "haltbar" (durable). This milk is processed in a way that it is boiled for a short period and pressed through a homogenizing filter system (as far as I know). This milk lasts much longer and that is the type of milk shown in the video

Us Germans love our fresh bread. We don't usually eat the soft, squishy stuff that is sold in many English-speaking countries. You know, the stuff that you can compress to about 5% of its original volume and that then expands again. We have lots of bakeries and every single German I have met while living abroad (in the NL and UK) confirmed the first thing they missed was "proper bread".
Also interesting: On Sundays pretty much all shops are closed (exceptions being petrol stations). Bakeries are also allowed to open Sunday mornings because... well, we love fresh bread every day.

1:37 I think they were using the machine for single-use PET plastic bottles with a multi-use glass bottle of a brand they bought at a different supermarket, which that particular LIDL market doesn’t sell. You can return the single-User PET plastic bottles at every deposit return machine, due to the laws - but not always the glass bottles.

Curry ketchup is fantastic with BBQ. It's literally tomato ketchup with additional herbs and curry - tastes absolutely wonderful. It's a little spicy. You would definitely love it.
Stinky cheese really smells ... "intense" - but it tastes sooo good, it's well worth the smell.
Of course we don't use gallons, we are a civilized country. And of course our food is safe to eat. That can only come from an American. And we use Tetra Pak for many beverages. Because it's better for the environment than plastic and it can be packed more efficiently. Our milk is usually UHT (ultra-high-temperature pasteurization) so it lasts for a long time without the need for refrigeration. It's basically long-life milk that has pretty much the same nutrients as fresh milk, but it's "cleaner".
I buy my eggs from a local farm and yes, 10 is the usual package size. There are also other package sizes like 6 or 12, but 10 is the norm. Because we're metric 😉
Well if you only want 1 bottle (or can't afford a whole pack) why shouldn't you be allowed to buy a single bottle? But it can be really annoying, especially when different people open different packs to take one bottle each.
For alcohol the ID is checked at the checkout (if you look young). But you can buy beer and wine/sparkling wine at the age of 16, and everything else at 18.
Rollmpos (the rolled up herring in a jar) tastes really great. It is very well pickled and tastes especially good on a fresh bread roll (add onions for your taste).

Quark with herbs is also great with potatoes, in particular jacket potatoes. Also, Quark is the base for German cheese cake.

the "Stinky cheese" mostly has more protein, less fat and a unique flavor :) it can be good but its strong

[michaelh.]

Deposit System was very late here in Germany. In Sweden for example it was common long before

[helfgott]

Friends
stinky cheese is super with a unique taste

In Europe in general milk is mostly UHT so it doesn't need to be in refrigerator before opening.
