American Eats RAW PORK in Germany for the First Time!!

I ate RAW PORK in Germany!! And didn't die or even get sick! How? Watch the video to find out!

Hi! I'm Kelly and I am an American who lived in Germany for 18 wonderful months. While I lived abroad before in Turkey and had done quite a bit of traveling beforehand, those 18 months in Germany definitely broadened my perspective of Germany, Europe, and even the US in so many different ways! I wanted to share my perceptions with you guys through YouTube so that maybe you can gain context to things you've heard about, or learn new information or a different perspective, or maybe this is everything you've heard before and further confirms your world view. No matter what the reason, I hope that you enjoy my videos! Don't forget to subscribe to my channel and turn on notifications so that you always know when I'm posting new content :)

That was not enough onions...

Important.

This Brötchen was awfully unterzwiebelt.

While in the German Air Force i was stationed in Fort Bliss, El Paso, Texas for a while. We german soldiers just bought our minced pork meat (Mett) from the butcher there and had our breakfast in the barrack without thinking about it. And we had this lovely old texan lady who was in charge of cleaning our building. Long story short: She came in while we were eating our Mettbrötchen and couldn't holt it. She vomitted right on the floor as soon as she realised that the "crazy" germans were eating raw pork =D

[zib]

its so weird to see someone scared of mett xD

[janloth]

Na super, jetzt hab ich Hunger auf'n Mettbrötchen🤤😄

"Construction Workers Marmelade".;-)

[mver]

So strange it's normal in the US to eat all kind of chemical trash, but raw pork that is healthy and safe is something they have trouble with.

[ploppsilly]

You are now ready for the next step:
The Mett-Igel.

[jone]

Did u know that Salami is raw pork too? its just airdried a little bit.
Mett also known in Germany as Bauarbeitermarmelade (Construction worker marmelade) ;D

[knotfinley]

I live in Denver and work for a German company so I travel there once a year to see my colleagues. I try to get mett every time I go, I really like it allot. And the bier!

Hi Kelly, as vegetarian I am not eating Mett, but I was very amused by your reluctance trying it.
But actualy I just wanted to comment on what you said about germans telling you that "A life without Met is not a life worth living!". This is actualy a example of german humor. The sentenence "Ein Leben ohne XXX ist möglich, aber sinnlos!" is a reference to the german comedian Loriot who made this saying popular by stating: "A life without pug is possible, but not worth living!" (He really loved pugs). So when germans use this phrase it is meant not only as stating that something is important to them, but also makeing fun of themselves for finding this particular thing so important.

Your Mettbrötchen wasn't beginner friendly. As your boyfriend already said the layer of the mett was too thick. You should give it another try some day. However, onions, salt and pepper are required for a good one.

[ChrischiHH]

Mettbrötchen basics:
Getting the right amount of onions - flip the Mettbrötchen and push it upside down onto a plate full with diced onions.

[Hendriktm]

Moment!
Ihr habt Atomwaffen aber kein Mett?!?

[shaberer]

My recommendation: buy some Mett, onions and bread rolls and take them home. That way, you can experiment on how thick you want to spread the Mett, how many onions you like on top of it and the amount of salt an pepper. There is no standard Mettbrötchen (and that's coming from a German... no standard for something... that's close to anarchy).
If you're not sure about the freshness of the minced pork that's laying behind the counter, you can even tell the butcher that you plan to use it for Mettbrötchen. The butchers where I've bought Mett so far either told me that the batch in front of me was minced not long ago or even put a fresh cut of pork through the mincer, just to give me top quality, so I won't get sick but will come back for more.
If you feel like it, you might even get some Kümmelbrötchen (bread rolls sprinkled with caraway). With those, however, it's common to use the whole bread roll and put the Mett and onions in between, because the caraway is usually only on the top side.
Lastly I would recommend to drink a beer with the Mettbrötchen. Of course, that way it's no longer suitable for breakfast, but beer and Mettbrötchen go along very well as a snack in the evening or on parties.

[schlafesbruder]

You forgot the beer. Construction workers breakfast - Mettbrötchen and beer at 6 am :-)

[Gartendalf]

Yet another foreign person doing secret ritual to become real german. Very proud.
This Channel needs more onions.
Oh, by the way - Wherever you found that Mettbrötchen.. its enough meat for 4 Brötchen.. yeah.
Jetzt hab ich Hunger.

[immanuelkantholz]

We Germans don't need to be afraid of germs in the Mett because we've got healthcare. :-p
