I guess this girl is swedish or danish or something, you can hear it in the accent but then, if you weren't sure, she fries her Bratwurst for too short and eats it in a bun with. fucking. MAYONNAISE! The Bratwurst....with mayo....
Insanity

I think the girl in the video dont know the north of Germany where tea is very popular and they have a tea ceremony in East Frisia/ Ostfriesland.

Haribo chips? She's calling Pommbär Haribo Chips? 😂

White asparagus and green asparagus, while they are the same plant, are worlds apart.
Basically the green asparagus is the asparagus that breached the ground and was exposed to light, while white asparagus was harvested BEFORE that happened. It is less woody and can therefore be thicker (green asparagus beyond a certain width is basically inedible).
Traditionally in Germany, white asparagus is cooked in water and then served with boiled potatoes, smoked ham and then either sauce hollandaise or a browned breadcrumb-butter-sauce (very yummy).

I honestly hate peanut butter, but that might be, because ours sucks. People don't really eat that here, at least the way Americans do. Nutella is Germany's peanut butter.

About Pizza: First there is no special german style pizza. Italy isn't that far from Germany and luckily many Italians decided to enrich our menu with original italian pizza. This also saves us from eating american style pizza like at Pizza Hut. I'm still wondering who eats there but there can't be that many because there are only 85 shops all over Germany.

So maybe it's time to tell you, Brezel (or "pretzel" for some reason) is just the shape, the bread itself is Lye-bread. There are many different types of baked goods made out of "pretzel", things that are much more conducive and practical for eating than the Brezel-shape. Like buns. My favourite is the Laugenecke as seen at 4:24. Imagine a "pretzel" with the consistency of a Croissant shaped like a triangular breadroll.
Pro tip: using these to make hamburgers should require some kind of license. Best burgers in my _life._

The Croissant is not French, while it was adopted and popularized by the French, it was "Invented" by Austrian Bakers to celebrate their Victory over the Ottoman Empire when they attacked and the Bakers were the first to notice the Ottomans digging tunnels under the City, since they were awake and working Long before the other citizen.

From a German Baker.

Whatever looks like parmesan? It's white chocolate.


Btw. the white asparagus is the same plant as green asparagus. The difference is in the way it's planted, the white asparagus is kept underneath the soil and then harvested, if it grows out it becomes green and changes it's texture a little to what you're familiar with. And yeah, as you know Asparagus season is a huge deal.

Lindt-Spruengli is originally Swiss and manufactured now in Aachen (Germany) with Trumpf.

Apple juice is great, but adults tend to drink it with sparkling water, which we then call Apfelschorle. It is really refreshing and a somewhat more healthy drink than a normal soda. You can also do it with other fruit juices.

As a German, i can assure you, I'm fat. All those carbs are just too delicious.

@Spaghetti ice cream: was the favorite ice cream of my six years older brother. As a small kid I indeed thought: "How disgusting that he eats frozen Spaghetti!!" until he once told me: "You are so stupid! They are no real Spaghetti! It's vanilla ice cream!" I clearly can remember me thinking: "Vanilla ice cream with tomato sauce and Parmesan cheese! Still so disgusting!!!"😂🙈

[CuziCod]

In Germany most people don’t see McDonald or anything similar as „real food“ or a full meal. Is more like of an alternative fast option if there is nothing else to eat at the moment, not making you satisfied and full.

[JohnDoe-xzmw]

this is why americans are the undisputed kings of reaction channels: "applejuice is considered unhealthy"....now where is my burger.

[Tmahawk]

I never thought that it could be so fascinating watching an american guy looking at german stuff. Very entertaining. Thank you!
You really should visit germany and finally eat some REAL pretzels! I would love to show you around my hometown.

About the peanut butter: Peanut butter isn't common in germany. It got more popular over time, but it's still a niche product.

[PropperNaughtyGeezer]

"... you guys arent fat?" - I am fat.

The difference is your mix. If you eat one or two sandwiches from the bakery, you'll be full until dinner. If I eat 4 hamburgers from McDonald's I'll get hungry. Your fast food is designed to sell a lot. The most expensive thing about a milkshake at McDonalds is the cup. That's why they only sell these XXXL cups.
They have scientists who put the products together in such a way that they have exactly the optimal fat/carbohydrate ratio, which stimulates the appetite and doesn't weigh heavily on the stomach so that you eat more. Starts with white flour. You can also add wholemeal and grain so that it is more sustainable and the stomach has to work a bit. But that's not what they want, people should buy more after an hour.

@Subway fun fact: Actually, Subway is not allowed to call its bread "bread" in Germany since it is made of too much sugar.

"you guys drink apple juice??" Lmao you got me on the floor😂😂
