Searching for the Communist Cuisine of East Germany
Vložit
- čas přidán 28. 08. 2024
- Back in the times of the GDR (German Democratic Republic), it was nearly impossible for chefs to get their hands on a lot of basic ingredients. Most meals were born out of necessity, with chefs really having to flex their creativity. GDR food was also heavily influenced by the recipes of the USSR. Our host Stacy Denzel Janmaat leads us on a journey to find what is left of the notorious GDR cuisine, 25 years after the fall of the Berlin wall.
In the East-German city of Leipzig, the “Gaststätte Kollektiv” aims to recreate the GDR dining experience through its detailed interior and food. The 29-year-old owner and chef was born in Leipzig, and although he was still quite young when the wall came down, he was still able to tell us about the days of limited food availability.
Back in Berlin, we go on the lookout for traditional GDR snacks. Though snack stands were rare in the GDR, the precious few outlets for fast food served mainly Ketwurst (a kind of hot dog) and Grilletta (a take on a hamburger). Fortunately, we find a spot where the traditional Ketwurst has somehow managed to survive the return of the hot dog.
We then accompany our host as he goes shopping at the only remaining GDR supermarket in Berlin to buy the ingredients for a 3-course menu of Soljanka (a Russian meat stew with red peppers, cucumbers and capers), fried veal’s liver with onions and potatoes, and the GDR version of French toast. Watch as our host whips it up in his own kitchen for a dinner with friends.

Props to the guy speaking German and trying his best!
Wir probieren's ja auch. Nur, auch wenn wir in den weiterführenden Schulen uns für's Fach Deutsch entscheiden, ist die Aussprache immer mit einem fetten Akzent belegt. Bisschen a la Rudi Karel.
Es sei denn, man ist da aufgewachsen und hat ne angelernte Deutsche Schnauze.
Ich muss ja selbst lachen, wenn ich Landsleute höre.
@@NutsInYourMouth it's a Dutch man.
Er kommt aus Holland und wir sprechen auch "Deutsch".. Naja...Dialekt. :p
That doesn't sound like Turkish? What do you mean?
7:45 How sweet. The host leaves, but she still prepares the coffee for the camera guy.
I love how they randomly switch zwischen Deutsch und Englisch.
Ja, it's very lustig when they do the denglisch ding there.
@@EuroS50 now I'm hungry for pasta and schnitzel !!!
Especially wenn er tussen nederlands, deutsch und auch English switches. Er creates een eenmalige taal, which i never have zuvor gehört.
@@NutsInYourMouth don't ever do that nochmal for pete's sake
Ja, I like that auch :)
take a moment to appreciate the host for speaking 3 languages to make this, thank you
In the movie Goodbye, Lenin!, a son has to search high and low for Spreewalder pickles because he is trying to hide the fact that Communism collapsed from his terminally ill mother.
spreewalder pickles are still verry popular in east germany. (trust me I live there)
Awesome movie with an awesome soundtrack.
@@ResasRandomStuff bekommst du auch bei uns in Südwesten im Schwarzwald!
I think he ended up putting the West German product into the old East German packets and bottles in order to deceive his mother!
Great movie
I've got distant relatives who immigrated to East Germany from Vietnam:
the food was *great* as far as they were concerned.

My father served for 2 years in the army of URRS in Eastern Berlin.
He even saw the fall of the Berlin Wall.I love him he told me a lot of stories from there.❤
I have been to Germany three times (including to Berlin and Leipzig) but never specifically looked for DDR-era cuisine. I guess that's one thing I should look for next time I'm in the country. I don't see anything wrong with the food. It has the look and feel of homemade comfort food, practical, and appropriate for the times.
He didnt even finish the sausage and pasta plate... What an insult.
Bet it was just for the show, surely he ate it all after cameras were off
I really hope so lol.
lol if you watch most food shows they rarely eat the whole thing...the camera crew gets to eat the rest
Well I'd have never touched it if I had known it has coleslaw on it!! Nasty why do people especially old people want to eat things that smell like people's shoes!! It's footslaw!!!
In Soviet Germany the sausage finishes you.
That mysterious eastern European cold cut known in Russia as "Doctor's Sausage". Nobody I asked really knows for sure what it's made of.
Life of Boris came up with a recipe
@@alexismontez4230 My Name is Andong also did one recently
Google it! There is its original ingredients: good quality meat. Its license and first factory had been bought from the USA.
See any stray dogs or cats ?
@@DARisse-ji1yw I meant good pork and beef. The quality had changed in the 70s due to the economy difficulties.
This is my early childhood right there. My grandmother still cooks some of these dishes up until today.
this made me cook soljanka for the first time in 15 years! always loved it :)
It's quite interesting to see the culture; Innovation in the face of scarcity.
The fascination with ketchup was quite strange though
probably has to do with the ''secretly eating western food" idea
The GDR Ketchup tasted quite different tho (according to my mother). It contained much less sugar and was nearer to actual tomato paste.
What a great show! We also have "poor knights" or "köyhät ritarit" in Finland, but ours differs that it has less cinnamon and some jam spread under the cream and it was usually made with leftovers from loaf buns by my grandparents.
In Czechia we have "poor knights" meal too - slices of bread, covered in scrambled eggs, fried, with raw onion on top + ketchup and mustard. Great meal :)
GDR-food was not five-stars haut cusine. The best thing is the chocolate without cacao. But i think they had all the things what people need for their life, and no one must hunger. But i am happy now to buy products in the supermarket from all over the world today.
I am directly Westphalia German-American, but I am 1/2 East German, and this is an awesome video. Human beings in trying times succeed and thrive often creating new traditions.
Interesting to hear🎉
He called the dumplings (Knödel) "A bread you eat with it" and then he makes a giant ball that looks like a cauliflower and cooks it instead of rolling little balls/dumplings and cooking them. He totally messed that one up. And of course the average person had less than that. A Soljanka with that many different sausages was maybe done for Christmas if you were lucky.
I didnt need to hear that you are from Amsterdam, I could hear it right away
Superiority complex or accent?
@@phileasfogg5785 accent. as a german i also heard the accent right away ;)
@@fickdichgoogle8618 you can hear when he speaks English but it isn't as pronounced as other people i have heard.
Complete rubbish, it is a Dutch accent, when Dutch speak English you don't hear which city they are from!!! Only when they speak Dutch. Or do you think that Amsterdam is somehow it's own entity and not part of any country? I guess that you are American. One of the funniest things I ever heard in Amsterdam was said by an American tourist talking amongst his friends ''Gee, I heard they even have their own language here!''. Such ignorance is hilarious.
@@fickdichgoogle8618 Unsinn, Quatsch. Das ist eine Niederlaendische Akzent.
Still better than American school lunches
America is literally nazi germany
@@amarillorica What kind of a statement is that? Only fucking person from my generation would say that.
literally? America is literally not Nazi OR Germany. are you sure you didn't mean "America is metaphorically Nazi germany"?
American school lunches and communist cousine share in common that they are a top down regulated economy with commoditized and subsidized government products. So, not really that far a part.
If you look at places where the school lunches are at least OK, they've got a localized economy with decision making authority in the hands of a local specialist and a non-commoditized supply chain.
@@amarillorica I've been on the internet since before there was such a thing as a web browser, and in my nearly 30 years of surfing the internet that is the single dumbest statement I have ever heard anyone make. You managed to pack more errors into a single statement than words. We are all dumber from having heard your inane comment, and may God have mercy on us all.
Solyanka is actually a Russian dish, the recipe is really old, even older than ussr.
That's what they say in the vid, that it is a Russian dish -> 3:17
I just tried to do a "ddr-jagerschnitzel" style, unfortunately i don't have these sausages in Canada so i used instead canned meatloaf (spam) and made a "sauce rosée" based on "béchamel" and a basic italian tomato sauces (il sugo)... Of course I added ketchup too (and cream) with basil. Not bad. but this recipe use a lot of dishes lol. This remining me our old french-canadian food, french-canadian was poor back in early 20th century, our families (7-8 children) was huge. Our cuisine was considered "boring", because based on simple cheap ingredients, no exotic spices too but today we can improve these old recipes.
If I use veal cutlet instead of spam It can be a solid dinner meal, served with a salad.
"Fotzelschnitte" - I'm pretty sure she's Swiss ;)
That's what we call it in Switzerland, but hell yeah: It sounds really dirty;D
chum verreis
Some interesting food history, but they could honestly just have had a German person do the show and keep it all in German. Would have given it better flow in my opinion.
yea i agree
Der würde Knödel auch nicht mit Weißbrot vergleichen lol
The speaker hipster look is annoying especially him trying to look cool 😎
@@bonghungk7544 speak for yourself, that is how anyone under 40 looks these days
When naming todays states of Germany, that were part of the GDR, the Gentleman in the Restaurant forgot one state.
Mecklenburg-West Pommerania, which was the most northern state and included the entirety of East-Germanies coastline.
this guy is fun as fuck want to see more from him en holland rep.
I thoroughly enjoyed this video!! My late mother was born in Chemnitz and escaped to the west before the wall was built. I'm familiar with regular German food but was fascinated by this particular cuisine. Thanks so much!
I'm 20 now. I live in the part of germany that was the GDR. my parents are from here. I grew up with some of this stuff :D
Hi great video, I was in East Germany for the first time this year 2018 and really liked it, Leipzig, Dresden, Moritzburg and Meissen.
Hope to go back soon. I love all of Germany but needed to see the East, Yes its not the true east but still has some history there.
I learnt German for two years in secondary school and the only thing I recognised was 'was ist das' lol
Soljanka is also called Wurstsuppe and there's a proverb that goes "Ich bin doch nicht auf der Wurstsuppe dahergeschwommen" meaning "I didnt come swimming on the sausage soup" meaning "I'm not stupid"
one important thing: that imbiss had signs with "kettwurst" written on it, but true to its definition, it has to be "KETwurst" with a single "t", because ketwurst was a gdr government invented dish for a wurst (sausage) with KETchup
This is quite a glorification, how it was in the GDR. My family as West Germans, had relatives in the East - and basically they had very, very less. A supermarket didn't had all these products - it was almost empty!
And the quality of the existing products was further quite mediocre.
Not even over holidays, they had a soup with different sausages...
The whole craze in Germany about "original" GDR food, is only nostalgia - it has nothing to do with deliciousness!
Mit der Qualität die du heute hast sind die Sachen aber durchaus küchenfähig.
Zajin13 Ich meine nicht, dass die heutige Qualitaet das Essen nicht genussvoll machen kann!
Ich meine nur, dass die meisten Leute vergessen, dass die Produkte nicht immer so toll waren - aber besonders: dass oftmals die Regale in den Lebensmittellaeden leer waren!
JohnTheGreat7822 This is a very subjective statement! In fact a lot of "Ossis" [people lived in the East] migrated to the West, because there were more jobs, better career chances and better paid jobs as well. What you had for a long time was, that people in the East had not the qualification to work in the West [or didn't had the scope].
I am sure, that this is not the case anymore - but still most of the "original", better versed people from the East are living in the West.
Hence take it with a grain of salt, if you talk to the remaining people in the East...
In fact though it is not so simple. For some industries, it is still pretty straight forward, that you just have to work in the West, if you want to do career at least. But it also depends on what you are interested in...
Nature in the East is quite interesting, but there are also other regions in Germany [e.g. the South or the North] which is beautiful. Off course people are also very different... East Germans have usually an approach which is a bit simpler and less posh - but then again, you need to like that..
JohnTheGreat7822 There's a weird kind of nostalgia with East Germany considering it was a totalitarian regime. It's the same with a lot of Eastern European countries, many people feel that they had better lives back then even though there was less freedom. Eastern Germans have this kind of special identity that brings them closer together. The fact that many Western Germans still look down on them doesn't help. But you have to see the bigger picture: while Eastern Germany wasn't as terrible as Soviet Russia or Nazi Germany, many people were imprisoned, threatened, abused. People seem to forget that when they get nostalgic for the good old DDR. (Nostalgia is the only explanation for most of the food that's presented here.)
Hans Mahr I totally agree!
But even though... it is not only about the regime and its habit to violate human rights.
It is also, that the citizens had literally less to eat. All the products which can now be bought in these nostalgia supermarkets and stores were never seen in sufficient quantities. At times the stores looked empty!
And especially this fact makes me wonder, why people are forgetting these conditions.
As an admitted foodie (what sane person isn't?) I was struck with the similarity of this cuisine and that at a men's dorm at a state college. If it's edible, it's okay. The part I liked was the cheery former GDR citizens who laughed at the good old days and were nostalgic simultaneously.
Hey I am from Leipzig seeing my city here is a great pleasure. I often cook dishes like those (Soljanka, Jägerschnitzel und Nudeln/ Kartoffelmuß) I think it must be some sort of collektive food memory :-) One of my most loved dinners is hot chocolate milk and buttered buns. My grandmother used to tell me that this was her favourite too because, she grew up whith ww2...
I been to east Germany to be honest the food is fine i tried it people think it looks dull but it taste good. I been to better places to eat but the places I ate in the east was great food.
I tell you this it taste where better then any fast food restaurants
its called "arme ritter" (translated: poor knight), because in the middleages, even the poorest people usually had access to the main ingredients (bread, eggs and milk).
therefore it was a meal for the common people.
its also quite common in west germany, too.
and in Czechia too :)
I lived in Berlin & then Munich just after the wall came down (within a year) & because I am a vegetarian & was just picking up my German language it was very difficult to eat, but I loved Germany & I know its a cliche but the people really were generous , In both cities I found a place to stay for free within 24hrs of getting off the train & plane.
Kettwurst was also the "hot dog" of the other east countries like Czechoslovakia or Hungary.
I dont get it. Why is there a dude from Holland talking about food from east germany? Wouldn't it be more authentic if somebody from the eastern states talk about the stuff and food they know from "back in the days"?! I mean he has absolutley no clue what he is talking about? Ain't no Bitterballen and Frikandel in east Berlin...
haha ja hab ich mir auch gedacht
Because he takes the pov of the viewer, the one who doesnt know shit about it.
Because the germans don't dare. He did. Did you? Where's your video?🤣 i want to see your authentic version of it.
Spielts eigentlich ne rolle? Man könnte auch den ganzen mist of ossisch drehen mit n paar guten Untertiteln. Dann können's die Wessies auch verstehen. Ist so nicht ganz authentisch ja, aber warum hats noch kein ossie gemacht für munchies?🤔
I stayed near Rostock for a weeks hunting and stayed in a house where we had food provided and food after our activities 9n the Forrest. Omg, or was awful lol. I could eat it as I am well travelled . Even the west Germans in our group raised their eyes at the food provided. They joked our hosts who were elderly really lived the way of the east behind the wall lol. The food was basic, enough to sustain a Forrest worker in 1950 😂 Thanks goodness for Maggi sauce, we used it all up in a week 😂
Das DDR-Imbissessen war wirklich keine Haute Cuisine mit 5 Sternen. Der Hit ist die Schokolade ohne Kakao. Aber ich denke die hatten ansonsten alles was man zum Leben braucht und hungern musste auch keiner. Trotzdem bin ich froh heute im Supermarkt Waren aus aller Welt kaufen zu können.
Great episode! Really enjoyed it, presenter has character which really helped. Watched full way through. GJ
This sound like food you should be eating while either drinking or already massively drunk. Personally I love German food, but this is a darker side of German food. This is a cuisine that resembles the rough n' tumble of the time. And man do I love that kind of food.
Coming from the former east, we still eat that food alot
Especially Soljanka is still very popular here, and it's a very tasty dish honestly
And as you said, it is a really good dish for a night of drinking
Food of the people comrades 🖤
Interesting food culture there in east Germany. It'd be cool to try some of this food.
Wow a cuisine I never thought about before & one I'm happy you shared. Of course on reflection the food, dishes & tastes of east germans would necessarily be novel & suited to their market & the economic reality of the time & place of the divided Germany. Thank you for your personal & entertainjng education in east german food & [food] culture. Delightful! 'D
I'm sorry only 2 mins in and he is drinking liqueur made from veggies, gotta give the commies points for creativity
Stuff made from roots is common.
Hate to break it to you but that's what all liquor is made from
What do you think Vodka was made from?
dandygirl6 S A K E
A liqueur made out of spices and roots. Sounds kinda familiar, when you think about it 🤔
That liver and onions looks so good
How many times did she ask what the Soljanka was called before it sunk in
Woah, I just had tom hardy take me on a tour of GDR food
tom hardly
The dutch Tom Hardy, living in Berlin. Yeah, sugar...of course
14:50 'releasing there juices' priceless part..
Interesting video. I grew up in the UK during the 70s and 80s, and had an interest in how "the Red Threat" lived their lives (mainly because I was told they wanted to nuke us into oblivion, so I wanted to know if they were so different to us and why we couldn't live in peace).
I wanna kettwurst
I was an exchange student to Germany in 2013, and I stayed in west Germany. When my class went to Berlin, we ate at a restaurant in the DDR Museum. I ordered the Jägerschnitzel and it was exactly as what was shown in this video! Keep in mind that I was in Rheinland-Pfalz for a week, and in Nordrhein-Westfalen. In both states I had Jägerschnitzel, and it was the breaded pork cutlet with that mushroom gravy. Not in east Berlin! You Ossies don't know how to make Jägerschnitzel! D: jk it wasn't terrible but now I know lol
West Germany was wealthier because of the Marshall plan while the GDR barely had enough to pay for war reparations to the USSR (which most of the value was forgiven), that's it. Western europe/ US and Eastern Europe/ USSR wasn't a science experiment in which you could extract accurate results of capitalism vs socialism. Remember that the Soviet Union had most of its industry and infrastructure destroyed in WWII just barely after industrializing while the USA didn't, not only that but the USA had industrialized more than 100 years before Russia. Don't jump to conclusions about socialism without understanding historical context.
The Soviet communism (socialism) was already a disaster before the outbreak of World War II.

Cool comment. I like it. Very original and good.

I just wanted to make a comment that there arent that many types of sausages here in the corner of Germany I come from (south germany) but then I thought about all the sausages that we have here and that are regular here.
Nürnberger
Weißwurst
Rindswurst
Bratwurst
Frankfurter/Wiener Würstchen (Kind of the same)
Bockwurst
Thüringer Wurst
Then I wrote this comment.
And those are just the kinds of sausages that are not dried, there are so many dried sausages as well.
In Spain during Franco dictadure there was a lot of chocolate without cacao (called "sucedaneo de chocolate")
Cacao was very expensive. Cacao was from Guinea ecuatorial (Spanish colonnia) and was very expensive and rare.

Recipes for products with no ingredients!
Champagne = stolen battery acid + bicarb of soda.
Sausages = little bits of leather and loads peppercorns/mouse shit
Vegetables usually potatoes in different rotting stages = slimy greens orange dye carrots etc
Bit like hotels in Scotland.
Wow, I remember cacao-less chocolate from former Yugoslavia, where I sometimes went to see some relatives.
It was made from carobs if I remember correctly - wasn't even that bad!
Butcher shops without meat were a sorry sight though :/
This Kettwurst is actual Hotdogs we used to get in 90s and 2000 Switzerland. Don’t how the situation is now though, haven’t eaten take away food for over 10 years.
This was actually a great/fun episode. Not sure why all the hate. Well done though, I really want to visit Germany. As a Canadian, I can only speak English and French so the language barrier would definitely be an obstacle.
The most people in Germany can speak english
***** don't spread lies, honey. There are just a small number of Nazis here!

You think you're funny? Cause you're not. I'm just super tired of uneducated people spreading lies.

What people will do for money...
KingDennisJensen most younger people will speak english and even the old ones will understand the very basics most of the time. i went to berlin over newyear once and i heard more english then german.
Most of the recipes are basic folk foods. Even here in the US my parents would cook similar dishes.Both my grandfathers were full German one from Bavaria and the others parents were from near the Schwarzwald.
Actually not. GDR food is more improvised and is more simliar to Russian folk food if any. It differs from Bavarian food.
OMG, the Knoedel! I'm guessing he didn't read the instructions.
They really looked like a nice bunch of people, cheers
Yeah but that sausage thing is still an insult to real jägerschnitzel
Interesting Soljanka was also a very common childhood food in Shanghai, just its called Russian soup there...and chocolate without cacao as well
Very odd hearing the funky soundtrack to the food of scarcity.
I love both western and eastern German cuisine. Yummy.
these foods are 5 star hotel dinner compared to american great deppression era food
If you think this is how everyone ate you are wrong.
They didnt have ready access to all of this, this is just a showcase of what they *could* have.
@creepy albino guy were all of these showcased readily available at the same time? Really? Also what time period exactly?
greekmarine these were the typical foods you found in eastern bloc countries, food from the Great Depression only existed for a small amount of time due to a massive economic crash.
Of course I had to watch a Just Eat ad in the middle of this.
don't look too appetizing, but would try it.

"Because they couldn't get what the west had". To be fair, I lived in Bavaria a year and their recipes weren't all that different. I had "hay" schnapps so bread schnapps isn't to imply poverty, just ingenuity.

You do know in Germany burping is considered a compliment to a dish, drink or chef right?... Same as slurping noodles in Japan is appropriate. Or eating with hands from same plates in many middle eastern or African cultures is considered polite. Let us celebrate diversity !
Comunism is against classes.
@@LDuke-pc7kq You do know that one about burping is just a plain lie, as long as it's not a joke or anything. Burping in Germany is just as rude as in the rest of the western world, since I'm german and I think I should know better than anyone who isn't.
