I'm from Germany. Firstly, it's fun to watch your reactions. The milk can be left outside in the supermarket because it has been homogenized beforehand, i.e. it has been heated to a high temperature. The carton also consists of several layers of different materials, which make it difficult for bacteria to penetrate the milk. As soon as the milk has been opened you should put it in the fridge.
Indeed and there are not only this kind of milk, we also have milk who need stay cooled in refrigerated section, which don't last that long like those ultra heat treated homogenized milk.
7:40 fun fact: some people in Germany jokingly state that a new invention is „the best invention since sliced bread“. :)
Why would you pickle things? Uhm... to make them last longer and because it makes them taste good? Yes, this works with fish too.
Some cheeses stink terrible but they don't really taste like they smell. The taste is most times pretty pleasant.😊
2:09 Curry Ketchup is tomato ketchup mixed with „curry“ spices, which in Germany means: primarily curcuma, but quite often also other spices like mustard seed etc. One curry powder spice mix widely available contains: Curcuma, cumin, coriander, fenugreek, parsley, chili, garlic, fennel, and unspecified „spices“ (probably just residue from other spice powders produced by that particular company), another rather common one lists curcuma, cumin, curry leaf, coriander, cayenne, nutmeg as ingredients. There are even German companies offering a broad variety of curry powder mixes, like one offering English Curry, Madras Curry, Thai Curry, Green Curry and their own company’s mix (which for some reasons contains cinnamon).
The milk they talk about is heated up under pressure to kill germs and then sealed airtight. The germs in the milk are dead and new germs can not come into the milk. That's why it stays fresh unrefrigerated. We have fresh milk too of corse and fresh milk should be and is refrigerated 😊. Still there are no additives in the uncooled milk.😊
Sorry, but the "fresh milk" in German supermarkets ain't unprocessed milk (anymore). It's pasteurized.
@@johnsmoke1785 Yes i never told something different. I said uncooled milk is ultra heated (about 143⁰C for some seconds and then shock cooled to 4-5⁰C emidiatly) under pressure and sealed. Fresh milk is heated up to 72-75⁰C for about 15 to 30 seconds and this milk is sold cooled and should be cooled in the fridge at home aswell. Then there is raw milk (i guess you think about). Raw milk is filtered and cooled down only and is sold directly by farmers. Still i know what you mean and maybe my comment is a little bit missleading 😊👍
@@Humpelstilzchen What I meant that there was a time where "fresh milk" was "raw milk". And imho it's important to point out the difference here, because just saying fresh milk can be misleading depending on the country you live in. And I dunno how the term is used in India.
@@johnsmoke1785 In terms of nutrients and such, there is (almost) no difference between unprocessed and UHT milk. The main difference is that UHT lasts longer and doesn't need to be cooled because it's pasteurized and comes in a sterilized container. Of course once it's opened you should keep it in the fridge.
@@Arsenic71 The heating kills all the bacteria. This includes those that would be beneficial too. Think about cheese and yogurt where we welcome those beneficial bacteria.
Us Germans love our fresh bread. We don't usually eat the soft, squishy stuff that is sold in many English-speaking countries. You know, the stuff that you can compress to about 5% of its original volume and that then expands again. We have lots of bakeries and every single German I have met while living abroad (in the NL and UK) confirmed the first thing they missed was "proper bread".
Also interesting: On Sundays pretty much all shops are closed (exceptions being petrol stations). Bakeries are also allowed to open Sunday mornings because... well, we love fresh bread every day.
1:37 I think they were using the machine for single-use PET plastic bottles with a multi-use glass bottle of a brand they bought at a different supermarket, which that particular LIDL market doesn’t sell. You can return the single-User PET plastic bottles at every deposit return machine, due to the laws - but not always the glass bottles.
7:11 the milk can be outside because of the genius of one Monsieur Louis Pasteur (and the people who came after him) who found out about bacteria in milk and how to kill them off, without ruining the flavor, texture or other qualities of milk. (And because he was a Frenchman, he of course developed a similar process for wine…)
The flavour is ruined, there they lied, you can`t drink that stuff. I use it only for cooking (instead of creme) or in coffee. For drinking, I buy fresh milk.
0:43 Emphasis on CITIES… in villages under 1.5k inhabitants you usually don’t find a single supermarket - or grocery store… or, pretty much any store at all… except for stores selling building materials, gardening equipment, other things you need for working in a rural area, and the occasional repair people… that situation used to be VERY different up until around 1990, when the big corporations bought the smaller supermarket chains and closed the small stores because they weren’t profitable enough and due to lack of space were unable to sell the whole range of the products of the big supermarket chains. In the village were my house is, there used to be two small supermarkets for a community of 500 people. In 1990, that number of shops went down to zero. (By the way, that’s not Eastern Germany - but rural Rhineland-Palatinate.)
2:41 The cheese smells bad, but it tastes good!
5:18 Aldi is the same.
Not refrigerated milk is H-Milch (UHT milk) this milk stays fresh for about three month. It is homogenized, ultra-high temprature
Curry ketchup is fantastic with BBQ. It's literally tomato ketchup with additional herbs and curry - tastes absolutely wonderful. It's a little spicy. You would definitely love it.
Stinky cheese really smells ... "intense" - but it tastes sooo good, it's well worth the smell.
Of course we don't use gallons, we are a civilized country. And of course our food is safe to eat. That can only come from an American. And we use Tetra Pak for many beverages. Because it's better for the environment than plastic and it can be packed more efficiently. Our milk is usually UHT (ultra-high-temperature pasteurization) so it lasts for a long time without the need for refrigeration. It's basically long-life milk that has pretty much the same nutrients as fresh milk, but it's "cleaner".
I buy my eggs from a local farm and yes, 10 is the usual package size. There are also other package sizes like 6 or 12, but 10 is the norm. Because we're metric 😉
Well if you only want 1 bottle (or can't afford a whole pack) why shouldn't you be allowed to buy a single bottle? But it can be really annoying, especially when different people open different packs to take one bottle each.
For alcohol the ID is checked at the checkout (if you look young). But you can buy beer and wine/sparkling wine at the age of 16, and everything else at 18.
Rollmpos (the rolled up herring in a jar) tastes really great. It is very well pickled and tastes especially good on a fresh bread roll (add onions for your taste).
We do have fresh milk that needs to be kept refrigerated in Germany.
All grocery stores here sell all three kinds of milk: fresh (refridgerated), homogenised (not necesserily refridgerated) and UHT (not refridgerated).
Homogenisation emulsifies the fat globules in the milk, so that the packaged product retains its taste, stability and texture for longer. The more effective the homogenization process, the longer the milk remains stable and retains its commercial value.
UHT milk is milk that has been processed at ultra-high temperature (UHT). Sterilization is done by quickly heating the milk to a temperature of at least 135 °C. This temperature is maintained for a few seconds, followed by rapid cooling to ambient temperature. Such treatment results in the killing of all microorganisms present in the raw milk. By packaging UHT milk in aseptic containers, it can be kept unrefrigerated for many months and only needs to be kept in the refrigerator after the packaging has been opened.
Personally I hate the taste of UHT milk. I never buy it.
Many homogenised milks taste very good and I use them for foaming up milk for my coffee.
Fresh milk I pour over muesli/granola/cereals.
Friends
stinky cheese is super with a unique taste
Fish in a jar, Rollmops is really yummi :D

Come over to have a Kiosk beer at the rhine river 🍻
People always freek out about the milk. At this point I am convinced that those CZcamsrs don't tell you on purpose that this is only one type of milk that doesn't need to be refrigerated and of course we do have regular refrigerated milk as well. Also this type of milk is not unique to Germany. Neither are the unrefrigerated eggs.
Quark= curd.
Ive actually never seen anyone with curd on a bread. We wud rather take frischkäse, which is quite similar but more solid, than curd
My grandma used to eat quark with strawberry yam on toast. 😉
@@PaiMei667 right... Quark wud rather be used with fruit, frischkäse with cheese or herbs or else.
Im not sure for how long these differences have been existing
@@SweetSchnubbl While I do that too, it's not really a rule and there are exceptions. Kräuterquark is decidedly not eaten with fruit and cheese cake is made from both Frischkäse and Quark.
Ich kenne eine Menge Leute die Quark auf Brot essen! Zum Beispiel mit Kräuter, mit Honig, mit Marmelade, mit Obst... und ich zb, mach mir den Quark gerne mit Zimt und Zucken an und esse ihn am liebsten auf einem Brötchen mit Butter drauf🤤
2:51 I‘ve never understood that fixation of other Germans on rather… odorous… dairy products myself… but I‘m generally not that much into cheeses… apparently the taste is different from the intense smell…
Yep, Harzer and Handkäs smell like dead feet, but taste very well :D
I love stinky cheese.
