FlexiSpot Standing Desk E7

When you visit Germany on your next trip, don't forget to bring some traditional German foods and drinks back home to your friends and family. Germans don't only know how to make great beer & sausages, but are producing super tasty sweets and chocolates as well. And of course the countless herb teas.

What's your favourite German Snack?

Im surprised you're not 1 million subs. You make so good content.

Riesen looks like Belgian Chocotoff. Very chewy indeed.

Knopper can be bought at Aldi everywhere (I suppose. In my country at least). They are great indeed.

We get Moam, knoppers, reisen and lebkuchen in the UK, thanks to having Lidl and Aldi supermarkets 😁 Stollen is also a favourite of mine and is very much a Xmas tradition in our house ❤

I used to eat so many Saure Zungen back in the days. Until my mouth was full of blisters. So worth it.

Love your videos ❤ I am English but living near Freiburg, Germany. Just wanted to tell you something about the way British people drink tea; they have it MUCH stronger than Germans do. That's why we drink it with milk, because it would be quite bitter without. One of the things I had to let go when I came to live here, was my tea habit, because despite all the variety of teas available, none of them can pick you up like a good old fashioned cuppa.

Riesen is pretty common in US- several grocery chain stores carry it! Also you can get Knoppers at any Aldi :)

You can visit the Finger Lakes region of New York State, which is the White Wine region of US (unlike Napa which is red wine). Over 200 wineries and breweries to visit among the lakes and small towns.

Only Radical Living can make even the sponsored section of the video super interesting and super funny! 😂 Thank you for making this great video! I always love to know more about Germany. Maybe you can also make a video about the best traditional German recipes.

In most of Europe, especially western and southern Europe, you will find Lidl and Aldi supermarket that sell you German food (sometimes even in German packages!) and are a good source for German sweets and German bread (an important omission in your video). Living in Portugal as a German since some months, I appreciate to have Aldi and Lidl nearby.

I am a big fan of three types of snacks in Germany that you don't see elsewhere: cherry juice, cherry syrup, cherry flavoured sweets. Quitten (quince) jelly, quitten syrup etc. This is incredibly delicious and not available in other countries, and Waldmeister(Sweet Woodruff). This appears as syrup to mix with water to make a long drink, or as a flavour of sweets. It is extremely nice and I haven't seen it outside Germany .

Some of the sweets I can find here in the US at our Aldi. The one snack I just love in Germany is the Paprika spiced potato chips. I have never seen them here in the US. We will be in Germany again later this year, so I will buy some.

Once I had a friend visiting from UK by car, he drove through Germany and bought some pastry with some sort of German sausages at the gas station, he gave it to me as a gift, it was so delicious I can only imagine how a proper German sausage tastes, ppl should definitely buy food as gifts.

[SanjaWilliams]

I love this channel. I hope to visit my best friend in Bonn this year and buy all these snacks 🤣Yummy yum! Best wishes from England

I think it's worth mentioning Schnaps. That's what I take as gifts on trips to the US, high-end schnaps. Germany has wine regions (southwest), beer regions (southeast), and schnaps regions (everywhere else). They come in sweet varieties (pear, apricot, plum, raspberry, etc), herbal varieties (everywhere has its own kräuterlikör, often better than Jägermeister), and the downright crazy ones like Vogelbeere, Topinambur, or Enzian. My overall favorite is kind of Christmasy and from Austria: Zirben schnaps, made from pinecones.

[myflyingkidney]

in my country we have kaufland and lidl and müller and DM so we have everything you mentioned with the addition of our local products which are already very much influenced by austrian culture (i know it's not the same but still) for several hundred years so basically everything you mention here is very familliar to me. i am just used to having all sorts of german products around the house, learning german in school watching german TV etc etc. Howerver the only thing you can't bring home as a souvenir is the way life is organized in germany, the way bureaucracy works despite it being slow, the way things happen on time, how public transportation works, how there is little to no corruption, the way people take care of communal property, quality of infrastructure.... if I could bring one of those things home I definitely would. I live in croatia of course.

I love and miss zwiebelwurst from Germany Saturday market. Thank you for this video. It brought many happy memories from my time in Germany.

[sammyt]

We've had Riesen in Canada for at least 15 years; it's responsible for my bulging jaw muscles ;)

[FranFuMuss]

My favorite lebkuchen definitely is from Lebkuchen Schmidt 🤤, especially the Schwarze-Mini-Elise! Love it!
Actually, my boyfriend sends every year for Christmas a box from Lebkuchen Schmidt to my parents in Chile, they love them too!
Also super super good and my favorite is the marzipan from Niederegger Lubeck. They have a vegan one which is just perfect for my taste 🤭

[carrotbg]

I can buy almost every German snack in the video from my local supermarket deep in Bulgarian provinces. We fought two world wars together- we love Germany. ❤

5:05 - That peanut thing is huge in Sweden. It's called "jordnötsbågar" (Peanut arches) and is a must on every party.
