  • In this video we are introducing our parents to our personal favorite, and one of Germany’s most popular street foods, the döner. They also try many traditional german foods such as: schnitzle, pork shoulder, white asparagus, bratwurst and sauerkraut. The biggest question, WHAT DO THEY THINK ABOUT THEM?

    Love your parents! My son told me about Döners and when I got to go to Germany I tried and loved them. He'd had me make them for a class project (BEFORE I had them). That was interesting ... Not really easy to do in central Texas! But he used brisket (his favorite food), pita bread and I had to make the sauce out of yogurt and dill... Try making something you've never tasted and his description is scetchy. 😂😂. German teacher gave him an A and said it was a decent imitation.... Keep on filming! Loving the adventures ❤️

    For the asparagus (mouth watering here ;): I guess everyone doesn't do it the same way. But as for me: Cut off the woody end, peel it well, cook it in salted water. When you take it out with a fork ( put underneath the asparagus like with a spoon) it should bend downward a little, then it should be nice and tender and ususally a knife would cut through it almost like through butter. When your father picked it up it was all stiff and he needed to make a cutting effort, I personally wouldn't like it like that. Don't be discouraged to give it another try though :) Have a nice weekend.

Even orders placed in the Turkish language in Berlin will ask for the hot sauce using the German word "scharf", flagging the hybrid nature of the Berlin style of döner kebap."

    *Serving of non-alcoholic beverages:*
    1) If the serving of alcoholic beverages is permitted, non-alcoholic beverages shall also be served on request for consumption on the premises.
    2) *Of these non-alcoholic beverages, at least one shall not be served at a higher price than the cheapest alcoholic beverage.*
    3) The price comparison shall also be made on the basis of the extrapolated price for one liter of the beverages in question.
    4) The licensing authority may allow exceptions for serving from vending machines.

    Of course: the Licensing Act doesn't specify WHICH non-alcoholic beverage has to be at the same price as the cheapest alcoholic beverage.

    I only would eat knödels with gravy and let the meat be the meat even if I like bread dumplings more than I like potatoe dumplings. I would order it like this, too. The quality of the gravy is important, too. Dumplings without gravy - not really...
    And asparagus is a treat I wait for every year. When you talk about traditional German food I would say it is more the German food for sundays - not Germany's everyday food even if some articles like Bratwurst might be more a part of an everyday cuisine but then often with potatoes and vegetables (that aren't Sauerkraut).
    Water in restaurants... In Germany the restaurant culture is quite different to that in the States. People can sit there for hours - that is why the meals are comparably cheap but drinks are more expensive. You probably just eat once if stay 20 minutes or 4 hours - but will order drinks more often. That is why free refills aren't a thing in Germany, too. The purchasing prices for soda, water in bottles or tap water are between 0 and 10 cents a glass - all get sold for about the same price and if you look on the purchasing price you understand why. Yes, you can have tap water at home for nearly free - but you pay with your water for service, rent, free toilets etc. and there it just does not matter if of that 3 EUR per glass (just an example) the purchasing price was 10 Cents or 0 Cents...
    That water argument - like the free toilet argument - is something that you read from every American. It is just a question of the calculation. I usually do not pay for toilets - just when I am on a journey. Why should it be up to the tax payer to pay for the toilets that mainly travellers use? I get a service - I pay for it.

    I love Döner! Its such a nice combination of bread, meat, salad, feta cheese(optional) and different sauces. And I'm happy we have this in Germany, seeing we don't have Taco Bell or any other source of good tacos/mexican food(at least in the city I live, and it is a large city). So at least I can get Döner or Lahmacun which is a little bit similar and also delicious.

    Peel the Aspargus from the head to the bottom. You can get a special asparguspeeler at a good "Haushaltswarengeschäft" like WMF or other. After peeling you cut at the bottom 1 cm off.
    Than you take them in hotboilet water for 10 minutes (you can do it with peeld frozen aspargus from the grocery store too). when you boil thr water do somesalt and sugar in the water. The sugar make the aspargus not so bitter. If there anything left of the aspargus, make a salat : take the aspargus cut it in 5 cm pieces, get strawberrys cut it to a half get some angula, put oil and vinegar and some sugar, mix it and the salat is ready. Very good to grilled Bratwurst Steak aso........

    The trick to perfect asparagus is to steam it rather than cooking it. There are special cooking pots with an insert available so that the asparagus is standing up, feet in the water, heads in the steam. Use only very little water and add a little lemon, salt and sugar to it.

    In Vienna, the tap water comes from the mountains of the Austrian Alps.
    Therefore, the Viennese value their water more than water that comes from sewage treatment plants.
    For this reason, the Viennese are willing to pay money for crystal-clear mountain water.🤤

    If the asparagus comes apart when cutting it was probably cooked too much. It shouldn't be too hard, but too soft isn't good either. This is also depends on the thickness. If you have ones with varying thickness, the thinner ones can end up on the soft side. Moreover, like meat they keep cooking from the inside when you take them out of the water. So taking them them out too late can make them too soft later. Sometimes using a different knife helps too.

    I love your parents for being so honest. And I agree with them just by looking at the food you had so far (except for the Döner where I can't tell). It was average at best (sorry 😂). Unfortunately more and more convenience products are used in restaurants. For instance this sauce hollondaise looked very industry made. There's no point in asking them, by the way, because they will always tell you that OF COURSE everything has been freshly made on site. You have to ask other people or read restaurant reviews to find the few good restaurants left.

      but i have to agree that the dished dont look more than average to me too. and restaurant reviews? where? on google? the place where "wannabe-critics" write shit about stuff they´ve seen on TV and now they think they are "restaurantkritiker"? LMAO

  • @scottevil4531
    @scottevil4531 Před 2 lety

    On the fatter parts of the pork knuckle or shoulder, they are the reason why you eat it with sauerkraut and mustard. The mustartd keeps the fat parts from overpowering you mouth, and the sauerkraut (which normaly also contains a little caraway seeds) aid in digesting it better.
    On the mustard, I ve seen that you put quite a lot on the parts where you tried it, and I dont know if thats just more common in the us to overuse condements, but if you are a little more subtle with it it might fit your tastes a little better. My advise would be, to just dip the tip of your knife in it, then cut the bratwurst and dont add anymore. Hope this helps and I wish you guys lots of more good food memories.

    If Döner Kebab is too hard to eat, try a Dürüm, Lahmacun or Yufka.
    Essentially it's kebab in a wrap with tinfoil around to keep you clean, sometimes you can even find it without tinfoil.
    Dürüm is essentially the name of the wrap itself, while Yufka and Lahmacun refer to the whole product,
    but whether or not you can order Dürüm, Lahmacun or Yufka seperately and what you get veries from Döner to Döner.
    If you feel like you're eating a lot of meat in Germany, most Döner places will also serve you Falafel as Döner or Yufka,
    many also offer Halloumi (which is a form of grilled chees that's screechy on the teeth and has rubbery texture, great fun) or even Seitan, which is made from gluten.
    Also, it's madness how overpriced water is, especially considering tap water is free, but then the traditional German Wirtshäuser are usually overpriced.
    They often serve processed foods with cheap meet for 14€ a plate whilst you get better quality food at any Döner for almost a third of the price.
    It's honestly repelling.

      bei meinen dönermann des vertrauens schmecken pizza,pasta und döner klasse die salate 1A, nur schnitzel kannst da nicht holen, sehen aus wie fertigschnitzel von lidl
      und schmecken auch so, da geh ich lieber zu ner guten pommesbude und bekomme schnitzel wo ich weiß das sie beim metzger gekauft werden zum gleichen preis.
      zur qualität vom fleisch, die meisten deutsche holen ihr fleisch beim metzger , einige sicherlich in der metro, die meisten döner drehspieße werden in polen hergestellt zum preis ab 4€ pro kilo, was daran noch qualität ist sei mal dahin gestellt. sicherlich gibt es noch den einen oder anderen dönerladen die alles selber herstellen aber die kannste an einer hand abzählen. ob türken ,italiener ,griechen, deutsche gastwirte, restaurant usw, die meisten machen einen guten job da ist keine nation besser wie die andere.

      Es gibt halt einfach ne Gastronomie-Linie von Knorr Produkten, wo die ganzen Gemüse und Soßen alle vorgekocht angekarrt und einfach nur noch aufgewärmt werden, und es mag beim Fleisch Ausnahmen geben, aber das Schnitzel was einem für 14€ oft angeboten ist nicht besser als das Fleisch vom Dönerspieß.
      Ist eine Schande, wenn du mich fragst.
      D.h. du gehst in ein Wirtshaus, zahlst 13,90€ für's Schnitzel, 4,90€ für's Wasser und 2,20 € Trinkgeld und kriegst das selbe Discounter Essen aufgewärmt, das du bei Lidl kaufen kannt.. zumindest fast.
      Im Gegensatz dazu ist wenigstensdas Gemüse im Dönerladen einigermaßen frisch, und bei vielen gibt's sogar frisch gebackene Brote direkt aus dem Pizzaofen, deswegen hab ich gesagt, dass die am Ende qualitativ besser sind. Nicht wegen dem Fleisch, da hast du recht.

    Yes, pork knuckle and asparagus (only in season) are specialties, but lots of people don’t like asparagus at first, some people never like it, like me, but it seems to me to be a pretty “grown up” thing. It has a rather acquired taste but it’s supposed to be really healthy. (and it’s also famous for another thing…)
    The pork knuckle is very fatty and I guess for most people that eat it, it’s a ‘once or twice a year’ thing.
    Schnitzel and Bratwurst are more on the “normal” side of things, though they’re not that light either. But if you look around… for some time… you’ll even find some lighter and healthier things here, like some steamed vegetables or boiled meats.
    The Käsespätzle taste depends a lot on the cheese that’s used (obviously) and although I live in Käsespätze country I always get very excited when ordering it somewhere, because 3/5 times I’ll be disappointed, 1/5 it’s ok and 1/5 times it’ll be excellent. I’m always on the hunt for good Käsespätzle ^^
    Interesting fact: The dough is very different from noodles, more like gnocchi but it’s different still. There is a unique process involved in making the right Spätzle for Käsespätzle.
    You seem like pretty cool people 😊

Most US citizens don’t taste that anymore because they are used to it, but it’s true. Some contain more chlorine, some less and that’s because it’s bad tap water. Even sometimes soft drinks taste awful, because the ice cubes are made of bad tap water. Happened two weeks ago in Washington DC.

    Asparagus Is usually stringy on the bottom and more tender on the tip. But there is an invisible line separating the two and if you just bend it a bit, it will usually snap in two right where the stringy parts end. If you want to you can just break them and cook the tip-side only. Wasteful but better experience.
    We usually cook them whole because imho throwing away food because it's a bit stringy doesn't feel right.
