Food from Countries that No Longer Exist | East Germany (GDR)

In German they use Father Land to refer to their nation and in Russia they use Mother Land. So, yeah, missed opportunity for a culturally accurate joke.

I never thought I'd live to see a non-east-german prepare this.

man said it “sounds awful” but the polish in me was salivating at the description 😭😭

[Banana_Loupe]

The Coleslaw Part is new to me.

Normally its just Jägerschnitzel, Spirelli Noodles, and the ketchup or tomatopaste based sauce

[JasminM-culn]

"Sounds awful but is actually pretty delicious" sums up east germany's entire existence. Coming from a German who had tasted both

[Stony]

My east german then-divorced dad used to make this for us on the weekends we were over. Haven't thought about it in a while, but now I crave it again.

[RomanianWalterWhite]

My eastern european ass was drooling the entire video 😭😭

[gustav.assmus]

The Salat do not belongs on top of the dish at all. Its served beside the plate.

With this video you made my East German Dad super happy. Thanks a lot! ❤

Just incase anyone was wondering the game is Bionicle Heroes. Had to do research since pausing didn't work :(

[mariamustermann]

Noch nie gesehen dass da Krautsalat dazu gehört. Die Tomatensauce kann ich regelrecht schmecken

[dansattah]

I didn't know about the coleslaw.

Going to university in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (Eastern Germany), that fried pork with -noodles- pasta is truly comfort food that is usually served twice a month at the local canteen.

To avoid conflicts and confusion with the West German perception of Jägerschnitzel, we nowadays call it "Panierte Wurstscheibe mit Nudeln (Jägerschnitzel)" on the canteen menu.

While stationed in Germany awhile back I dated a woman who made this for me a few times. Apparently her grandma grew up in East Germany and passed the recipe to her, and yes it is pretty damn good. If made with love at least.

What a historical tragedy this narration. Its sounds like cold war never ended lol

[LexifromZargon]

Wrong sausage and the salad doesn't go on top. And idk who tf ads mustard to the sauce but i will find you.
But i really appreciate you taking the time to show others the dish! And it seems to have turned out pretty well! Hope you enjoyed it!

[Shane-edmu]

Did everyone not see him scraping the food with a nintendo DS game 💀💀💀

[williamkarl-gustafmoller]

This looks like something you'd make late at night when the firidge is nearly empty and the stores are all closed.

LOVE IT!

mom: he will be a chef! dad: no he will be a history teacher! him:

[Jannihue]

That is the first time I see this dish from another person other than my grandma ❤. I love it and it always makes me feel comfortable and connected to my family

East-Germany was also sanctioned from trading with the west, had most of its industrial base destroyed and ended up paying 99% of Germam war reperations towards even the allies.
So it's a miracle it even did as well as it did.
