If you are going to Bristol you should go to the Bath it is a lovely place and it is only 30 miles distance
You said the coffee is so good in Germany...that´s in fact sooooo funny because we in Austria especially if we are from Vienna (who I´m) we always complain about how bad and terrible the German coffee actually is...and that´s no offence or kind of mocking (which we certainly do of course but at other topics) that´s simply the truth..
just a sidefact for giving you the "bigger picture":
Vienna simply has a world-famous unique coffee - culture since 1685 as same like Italians got theirs but our´s is a bit different and goes alongside with our famous pastry culture as well of course...Millions of Germans(and others) come to Vienna every single year just to enjoy that..
So I can´t even imagine how bad US coffee must be for loving german coffee.
@michael grabner
As a german im not offend i was sitting there like ..how bad is the coffee in their homecountry? couse german coffy isnt that good its just standard XD
@The Endless Advanture
In germany when you are "the rooster in the basket" "Der Hahn im Korb" than you are the only man between many woman
so rooster is a synonym for man
so i guess a half rooster is a jung or a thin unmuscular man and that disch is called like that because its not much
some salad a bit of gouda and a small brad is not a full meal
The saltines provaply comes because you are eating it in the west
east germany is more frugal with salt and everything the east version of Sauerbraten definetly is healthier and as i think tastyer
the salt taste can overwelm your tongue and put the true taste of it in the shades
Already watched it. Nice one.
But the round white sign with the diagonal stipes cancels out every other sign with a red circle before (speed limit, no overtaking). If there's a number in it, it cancels all speed limits, not just the last one. So if you see a striped out "60", the "80" before is also no longer the limit. The number just indicates, that it only refers to the speed and not other limitations.
The legend goes that there was this guy in Cologne who could not afford a real rooster (Halve Hahn). But everyday he went to the Brauhaus and ordered one in a loud tone to impress his friends. He told the innkeeper secretly to serve him bread, butter and cheese instead so that he could pay the bill. Since then this is a staple dish in Cologne - at least this i s what I have heard.
I think youre right..i live in a city right next to collogne (Kölle =) and my mom told me a similar story like 25yr ago =)
We got kinda rich history in story telling =)
Other "myth" is that worker class people often didn't have enough money to buy a full bread roll with cheese (typical worker dish) in the workers pubs and then often only buyed a half one. In cologne dialect half (german halbe) is wriiten "halve" and "have" (german "haben") is written and sounds like "ha(h)n" and the sentence "can I have a half breadroll with cheese" is then shortend to "can I have a half (one)" or more shortend in cologne dialect "halve ha(h)n"
Thats funny? here in the north of Germsny we dont eat it.
The legend of the halve Hahn as far as I know it ahas nothing to do with rooster or chicken at all. A guy went to a pub and ordered a cheese Brötchen. But this pub had Röggelchen Brötchen. Those always come as a pair. The guest said said a wanted only half of it. In german: halbe haben. In cologne dialect: halve hahn. So the halve Hahn is nothing more than one half of a pair of (Roggen) Brötchen with cheese and butter.
@@SylviaBommesFan Yeah, completely makes sense. If you speak it in Kölner Dialekt, might be something like "Kanne isch ejne halve han" and Röggelchen indeed often come in a pair.
Hooray!
Americans for a change, no currywurst, sausage, schnitzel with fries and pretzels eat. None who make the 100? CZcams movie about the supposedly "typical German" food.
Thank you for taking the trouble to go to a real restaurant/eatery and order real food. THANK YOU!
As an American can I ask you a question? What is the best region or state in Germany for food? I am planning on visiting Germany as soon as I learn to speak German and save a lot of money.
Germany has 16 federal states and almost each has its typical dishes.
Labskaus, Sylterfischpfanne, Pfälzer Dampfnudeln with wine sauce, Maultaschen, Krustenbraten, Sauerbraten and, and...( Please google)
But when they pull it through, they take trousers with very elastic waistbands with them. Have fun and enjoy your stay.
@@truthseekingtroll3575 probably Baden-Württemberg. The swabian cuisine is the best in my opinion. Loads of amazing dishes e.g. Maultaschen, Spätzle, Dinnete etc
@@truthseekingtroll3575 i hope you are going to enjoy your stay/visit in Germany. Best wishes from Frankfurt am Main ( State: Hesse)
I agree. Traditional German food is great - superb ingredients and fine flavours. I look forward to my next visit to "mein leibes Nürnberg" for another fix of Sauerbraten or Schweinshaxn :)
Finally people who show REAL German food. I'm German and a vegetarian. So these are not my favorites. But you did your reasearch so so well! Good job, guys!
"Kölsch tastes similar to Pils"...What? Where? When? XD
I heard that Kölsch is just changing its temperature when passing through the human body... - greetings from Düsseldorf ;-)
Martin Lienesch Gilden
I mean yeah it's thinner than Pils. But i'd say it's closer to pils than to Alt or Weiss beer.
@@TheAxel65 At least it doesn't taste like tree bark. -Greetings from Wuppertal. ;)
@Streamer LX4 a good German meal includes 1 Pils or for cologne measurements 124 kölsch
Zoos in Germany are usually very roomy. They try their best to make the habitats as perfect as possible for the animals, and they also do a lot of work to keep threatened species alive. I am totally with people who don't want animals cooped up somewhere just so that humans can stare at them, but a well-managed zoo is something different, they fulfil an important function. The German Zoos even manage to breed animals which usually don't breed in captivity at all unless they feel very, very safe.
Did you know that it takes both potatoes and apples to make a "Himmel und Erde"? In french, the potatoe is called "La Pomme de Terre", which translates into "Apple of Earth". So it's two kinds of apples - one which grows underground and one which grows up in the sky. :) ("Himmel" kann mean both "heaven" and "sky")
and it originated back when the french occupied the Rhineland under Napoleon.
The German term “Erdapfel” means the very same. An “Earth Apple“. Less common most parts of Germany but apparently used in Austria, Switzerland and the very south of Germany.
rhinish dialect calls it äädappel. Therefore the name.@@azschalter
Isn't pomme de terre in french a potato? :D
Cologne is such an awesome place that deserves more attention from tourists, I went there last year and it was epic :)
Just finished eating this recipe but with Bockwurst instead of blood pudding. Fabulous. How can it be that it takes two young Americans to tell an aged Englishman about this gorgeous dish. Thank you both so much and congratulations on your tales of gastronomic adventure.
Glad you guys had a great time in Germany! I loved how much of the countryside you guys got to see! Can't wait to see where your adventures take you next!
I was here last year. Loved every minute. Didn't see one person with a bad attitude!
You can't do cologne in a day though
As someone who lived in Cologne his whole life, where is that animal park? I don't know it and I'd like to go. You are very adventurous with the food! Himmel un Ääd isn't for everyboday, Flönz (Blutwurst, black pudding) much less. There are two things I'd recommend: 1. Mettbrötchen (raw minced pok on a roll) 2. Rievkooche (Reibekuchen, potato pancakes). AS for the Brauhäuser: Reissdorf is a pretty good and very popular brand of Kölsch. But a few blocks from the Sion Brauhaus there is one that serves Päffgen, which is quite special because you cannot buy it bottled, only in selected Brauhäusern. It's funny to me because I don't think about Cologne as a culinary Mekka. There are places in Germany with much better regional food (mostly to the south). But it's really flattering to me that you liked our local food. Thanks.
Das müsste der Tierpark in der Nähe von Lindenthal sein heißt auch glaube ich ca so
Andre Wozenilek Der Wildpark liegt im Stadtwald zwischen Dürener Str., Friedrich Schmidt Str ., und Militärring. Der Stadtteil heißt Lindenthal.
Danke Euch beiden!
Yes. I am from Bonn and lived in Cologne for two years. The city is not the most beautiful in germany, but the spirit of the people of my heimat is unique, warm and humorous in every aspect. No dialect in germany reflects humour about calamities and life more non-cynical and funny than koelsch. If you like more details, then watch the shows of the caberetist Konrad Beikirchner who migrated from Tirol to Bonn and gives outsiders insights on the main traits of the soul of the language of my heimat. For me, his findings were trivial, because I speak the dialect, my ancestors are from the region for more than 300 years, but for everyone visiting, try it. I met hundreds of people in rhineland who were immigrants from somewhere else, also most in my school time were NOT from rhineland. Get in contact with the ones speak the dialect. In cologne, it should still be quite easy. Ehm, there is even a school in cologne to teach you the dialect if you like :-). The name of the local beer koelsch was adopted from the name of the dialect by the way.
Try all dishes and of course the beer in cologne. Give taste a chance :-) . On first visitors day, every one of you should try at least one Halve Hahn, Schlönz met Öllüsch un a Suurbrode un a lecker Kölsch ussm Krenzje.
Dear Visitors, I would recommend you to find the ,most restaurants with Michelin Stars in Baden-Württemberg in Southern Germany where I lived for four years. The best Weissbier I ever drank was Hirsch Hefeweizen from Wurmlingen, Baden-Würtemberg. No Weissbier from Bavaria is close :-D
Lol...i love you guys🤗💖 😂🤣😂the car flashback 😂 thank you for making the world a little more smaller and inclusive for all of us that don't get to travel 🤗 its fun to be able to go around Europe with you guys😊 i love it💖
Oh wow. I shouldn't have watched this when I'm hungry!
I have problems eating myself and am very underweight, i watch this channel alot for precisely that reason.
Sehr sympathisch ,daß dieses Pärchen nicht nur die stereotypen german meals zu sich nimmt, sondern auch etwas Anderes ! Aber wie sie mit Besteck herumfuhrwerken !
Thank you, you are one of the very few who actually tasted german food
Nice! I think you covered Cologne quite well foodwise. I would suggest you try "Reibekuchen" or "Rievkooche" like the Cologne people would say on your next visit. Lot's of love! 😋
Nicht den Apfelmus vergessen :) (Don't forget "Apfelmus")
Yup...you two have to go back to Köln for the Reibekuchen! You got really close to them at 8:47 in your video. For those who don't know, Reibekuchen is a deep fried potato pancake best served with applesauce (Apfelmus) and a cold Kölsch.
You two are doing so well ! Great one👍🏼😃
Thanks for taking me around the world........ You two are living my dream...... Hope someday i will roam around the world like you... Best of luck...... Goodwork❤️
The food portion was so yummy and the rest of the vlog excellent you guys represent all your adventures very well
Yet another enjoyable video. Greetings from Yorkshire, England :)
Thank you for the great video.
I'm living in Cologne and your definitely right about everything.
It's a great city and a beautiful one too. Also you're right about the Brauhaus they the best German food, so when you're in cologne go to one of those.
Especially the ones called "Früh" and "Johann schäfer".
Thank you
That animal park is one of my most cherished childhood memories.
An awesome video,Thanks a lot.
You should come back in January or February. Visit the North of Germany and try some Grünkohl. Believe me. It's the best! 🍵
Grünkohl mit pinkel...lekka
Grünkohl ist nicht so lecker. If you are english than Grünkohl isnt that tasty. xD
@@limitdzn1342 jeder hat sein Eigenen Geschmack, ich zum beispiel mochte es erst nicht aber nach einer zeit doch, and for all you english speaker, if you are in nothern germany in January or february just try Grünkohl wit Bregenwurst (a kind of sausage) and Bauchfleisch with a side of Potato and as sauce mustard (medium is my favorit and mostly served)
Excited to see you guys back in Blighty! Weather still not too shabby down South but here up North, brrrhhh xx
Greetings from near Cologne. In Cologne are many breweries, the best ones are Früh, Sion, Reissdorf, Gaffel, Sünners and Mühlen all of them have Restaurants or pubs (You will find them in a circle of 2km around the Kölner Dom). As special tip you can go to the Biermuseum (also has a bar/pub at the end). At the airport you can go to the Ständige Vertretung, first as a joke/not seriously idea because of the movement of the goverment from Bonn to Berlin, this became a really big and good company with many locations all over Germany. In Cologne you have to try as you did Himmel un Äd, Sauerbraten (doesn't matter which version if horse or cow), Halver Hahn (especialy with sweet mustard or pepper), than Rievkooche or the bigger version of it if you're really hungry called Döppekooche, also Flönz, the raw version of what you called black pudding and than there is one of my favorits "Decke Bunne met Saus un Speck" (not everyone likes it because of the green beans), as desert especially around christmas and carnival you should try Muuzemändelcher. To drink there is only one thing in Cologne and thats Kölsch, some tips about that if you never visited Cologne before, it's typical that your glass will be refulled or changed without asking, if it is empty, unless you put the beermat on top. Be carefull the beermat is "holy" and handled as a importand document, so don't lose, destroy or try to change them, because you have to pay what's on your beermat. (This also counts for other pubs in germany, if you get a beermat and the waitress makes lines or numbers on it, it is handeld as a bill) As special variation of Kölsch you can ad Flimm (a Waldmeisterliquor[don't know how to translate it, in latine is called "Galium odoratum"]), if you want harder stuff there is Kabänes (herbal liquor like Jägermeister). As last tip if you like chocolate there is no way of not visiting the Schokoladenmuseum.
Thumbs up! And don't drink to much Kabänes or Jägermeister, you will have the worst hangover possible (well, Stroh Rum 80% is perhaps the worst), but you get the picture.
ThEsUzItHoMmY91 locker von Pulheim oder Widdersdorf?
ThEsUzItHoMmY91 ich mache gerade meine Ausbildung in der Gilden Brauerei. Wir machen auch Sion, Sester, Peters, Dom, Küppers und Gilden natürlich. Für mich persönlich ist Gilden das beste Kölsch. Wahrscheinlich weil ich sonst immer nur Pils trinke 😅
6:54 Very subtle.. Alison walks by the sign.. love it!
Looks great looking food guys. Like the frequency of the posts lately.
Thanks, really helpful, we'll be in Cologne soon so I was wondering where to go and what to eat. Thanks a lot, will def try your places (the zooo! ❤️), the church and that old bar that has delicious food ❤️
Great to see you've enjoyed your time here!
A tip for you and others:
If you wanna try authentic german food (like Eisbein, Stews and others) you can often find it at many butcher shops. They often at lunch time sell prepared dishes for way less than you may find it in those restaurants.
It's authentic and tasty.
So you may get that "Eisbein" or also "Sauerbraten" for maybe half the price. Presentation isn't always restaurant quality there but the taste often is even better.
These fancy restaurants and places often use their standing for attracting tourists and are above average cost for certain dishes.
Just a heads up there 😉
Everything looked so good!
So pleased with your food choices. I used to live in Germany and always loved Eisbein and Sauerbraten. - dumplings too!!!
Great video guys. Give me all the onions, I them in all shapes and forms ! Love your open mindedness sampling all kinds of food/ broadening your experiences 👍 good job guys 👍🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸
Great video! looked so yum :-) My favorite thing from that region to eat would be Reibekuchen with applesauce. It's sort of a potato fritter. Explore the black forest, when you are coming back! Karlsruhe is super beautiful :-)
Those are very typical dishes from Cologne, thanks for sharing!:)
Yeeeey your coming back to England!! Love your video's over here!
now you are in my neck of the woods. You should try the semmel knödel. They are made like stuffing back home and sometimes they put bacon in it too. You made my mouth water but the sauce on the sauerbraten shouldn't be salty, savory yes but not salty. My guess is that they used thickener in the gravy which can make it salty or a concentrated braten sauce.
yummy guys!! ty for sharing!
Welcome back to the UK, loving your adventure around the world.
Thank you for this vlog. I & my family will be going to Cologne Germany soon for living. We will try those food you ate and of course the beer... I follow you now.
You two are so fit given the amount of delicious food you have been eating.
Hi from Cologne, it is always fun to see people try our food. Hope you will come back and try Reibekuchen...
I am always so nervous to try different food but this looked absolutely delicious! I need to get my more adventurous side out more often
Awesome video! I CAN'T wait to visit Germany ❤❤❤❤❤
Your channel is rapidly becoming by favourite food/travel channel. There's massive scope to increase your subscriber numbers. Good to hear that you're heading back to my country (UK) and looking forward to seeing where you choose to visit here.
German foods looks incredible!
Jade Cummings it is, believe me. It is.
But we don’t eat such things regularly, we also go to restaurants for that. At home we usually do the easier dishes like fish, Schnitzel, pasta and so on
speak for yourself. Some people still eat actual German food at home. I'm sorry to hear that you don't.@@klamin_original
Nack Jicholson i just meant we don’t eat that all the time
@@abeedhal6519 too expensive. Make your own "grünkohl", at restaurants you pay like 15euro for a dish. At home you are at 15 but it's like a meal for 10 persons. Have fun being just 2 persons. Even with the Sauerbraten, days of preparation for 2 or 3 persons? Way toooooo much effort. And the price. It's almost a weekly cost for a single person when you're at the grocery store.
@@abeedhal6519 fish, especially in Northern Germany is tradition. "German Food" is regional.
I'm currently in Thailand for a longer vacation, which is great, but thanks to you I start to feel homesick. Definitely have to go eat out when I come home ;)
I cant wait for your next vlogs! Not that I don't enjoy all of them!! But I'm going to England/Scotland in March and will be watching with great interest!!
I’ve been binging Endless Adventure and I cannot wait to travel!!!!
Hope you guys are doing well!
I live like 50 km south from cologne and I really love everything about this city ❤ i feel happy you liked your trip and the food but also quite sad because it's corona time and I can't go there now
The food looks amazing
you made a good choice! Sauerbraten would have been my favorite.
Having experienced Scheweinehaxe in München I admire your fortitude.
"They serve it in 200 Centiliter glasses" - dude, you mean ml not cl ;) if this was 200cl, you'd have a 2l glas :D
Thanks to your recommendation we are heading to the Brauhaus Sion as we speak for some lunch! From Bristol (another one of your visited Cities) to Cologne!
i can't travel i have a terminal illness. so watching posts like yalls makes me 'woop woop'
Oh I'm sorry... What kind of illness do you have?
@@SasanKhandanpour huntingtons chorea
I am sorry to hear this. I have many days a month when I am bedridden too, so I love seeing the world and real life through YT.
Tina Marie Farmer I can relate, I’m in heart failure. Advice to others, travel while you can. Blessings to you Tina Marie.
I would love to show you around here, hope you are doing okay
Greetings from Cologne, nice video.
Makes me wanna visit some Brauhäuser again 🍗🍻🍺
Now that is real (old) good German food when I lived there (Augsburg)
When in uk try to get to Norwich and north Norfolk coast. Beautiful part often overlooked.
Really enjoyed this adventure, I was there in Koln many years ago to visit my grandmother. I have family members spread out within an hour of Koln. Leichlingen, Wuppertal, Solingen, Remscheid. I remember being able to open the windows on the train and also the trains being on time. Of course being 13 at the time the big memory was a drinking beer in or at public places at meals with my dad and uncles. At the time it was allowed as long as I was with my dad. Now days? The Koln cathedral at the time "1974" still had signs of being hit during WWII. And the autobahn what a ride, yeeha! Lol
Travel Safe. Enjoy watching your channel.
The Cologne Dom has the shrine of the Three Wisemen in it. Even if you are not religious it's a beautiful piece of art.
We really enjoyed this foodie extraordinaire experience. In a little way the foods reminds me of the years I lived in Denmark, with similar salty verses sweet combinations. You two are natural foodies more like Mark Wiens and Mike Chan. A perfect combination with world traveling :) Blessings, James & Kim
Congratulations to all your German videos! They were wunderbar...:-)
I love your videos
Kölsch is milderten Pilsener. It s a top yesterday brew and as such served in dismal glasses. I like it a lot! Pils too! And Bavarian brown! ...
Sean’s bar in Ireland 🇮🇪 is one of the oldest pubs , dates from 900 ad
Awesome to see how fast you're growing guys! Your brother Brian sent me here!
Nice! We're actually seeing him later today 😸
Shave his red beard and his eyebrows. Tell him Austen said so.
Great video! Have you tried coffee with butter, mainly grass fed. That's what the cold brew seemed to have in it because now I don't have to use cream or creamer in my coffee. Also, sure learned alot about Germany, my ancesters country!
Fun fact about the Cologne dome, as the two of you have stated already it is constantly under construction and in fact it is so big, that they started building it from the front end and the back and meeting in the middle with a super slight discrepancy, but to my fun fact, in local lore the people say on the day the dome finishes the world will end. "An dem Tag an dem der Dom fertig wird, geht die ganze Welt unter." Making fun of themselves because it is a never ending construction process. Because for centuries it hasn't been finished and when they start in the front and work their way all back to the end of this huge building they have to go to the front again to start over. As most great domes of gothic style it is made from sand stone which is hurt harshly by the sour rain of our time and the oxidation in the wet air and all the pollution in the air and have regularly to be replaced. You can see it at the Magdeburg Cathedral or the Dresden Womens Church as well as with a lot of others.
Hi guys. "The Eisbein" is cured pork knuckle, not pickled ham. A very old method of preserving meat. The "Sauerbraten" is marinated beef roast (marinating for 4-5 days in a mixture of water, vinegar and spices) and slowly roasted for 3-4 hours in the marinade. This was also an old method to preserve beef. Greetings from Germany
"Halve Hahn" is essentially derived from lower german and goes back to following:
A peasant orders half a roll with cheese. What he gets is a whole roll of bread with extra cheese.
Getting this he states: "Warum ne janze? Ick wollt doch nur ne halve hahn!" - which translates to "Why a whole - I only wanted a half one!"
however, in lower german, "Hahn" can mean "rooster" or "have" equally.
My home town :) always came to the park (Stadtwald) as a child!!
You have to try Mettbrötchen. This is minced raw pork on bread with onions. You get this nearly everywhere. You dont need to be afraid to eat this. The meat is always fresh and the quality rules are really strict.
Glad to hear you guys are coming back to the UK.
You are welcome to come to Sheffield anytime.
There are some great places to explore.
There’s a local brewery. Some amazing food, especially pies and other treats.
Also near Peak District and there’s a lovely place called stoney Middleton nearby where the village is carved into the rocks and you can go into a cave.
I would be more than happy to show you around, and can get you a super cheap place to stay.
A lot of people don’t know much about Sheffield but it is 4th biggest city in England! Feel free to get in touch guys. Safe travels
"halve Hahn" (half a rooster) is just a play on words, as asking for a half (of the bread roll, the specific type is called "Rögelsche" and is usually only sold in connected pairs, hence a single one is a half of the normal serving) is in our dialect "ne Halve hann"
❤️❤️❤️. Koln (Cologne). Very neat, walking friendly city with lots of platzs that is open and well utilized and yummy food and kolsh around town. Sauerbraten is yummy. Central train station by cathedral has lots of quick bites and easy access to all over Germany and Europe via the Bahn (high speed rail). That is super clean and efficient.
It's name is Köln. If you don't have ö it's written Koeln.
I would love to travel and eat all the different foods !
definetly a good choice of food, i am starving for sauerbraten right now
Just WOW!
If your in the west country area (South West) make sure you hit Lacock. So many period movies are filmed there. It's an amazing village/town. So worth visiting
it's really a pity you didn't visit Cologne Cathedral. I'm not a huge fan of Cologne as a city but the cathedral is very exceptional. It's considered to be one of the most impressive churches in the world and with remains of the Three Wise Men (at least that's what religious people believe) it's always been a huge pilgrimage place in the catholic world for centuries hence the incredible fortune of the diocese of Cologne.
Daniel K. Did you watch the end of the video? They went there and talked about its history even.
I am new to this channel, but have visited Germany multiple times and there is nothing better than a good piece of schnitzel. If you get the chance you should visit Kassel. It has one of the most beautiful parks you will ever see. Safe travels!
Only one piece? I have to eat at least 5 to be completely satisfied xD
@@ileanaleca4969 The piece I had was as big as the plate. 😋
I live in Kassel and I love seeing tourists visit my city. Most of them are here for the Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe and the adjoined palace. Glad you enjoyed your time here :) You should come back during documenta - it's one of the largest and most important art exhibits in the world and spans a large part of the city!
hey guys when you go to England you need to go to blackpool, theres a fairground, beach, blackpool tower which is full of allsorts but you have to pay in the tower. but theres food, drink anything you need. just a suggestion. love your videos keep em coming
I can really recommend the Päffgen Brauhaus next to the Frisenplatz. Thats a very speciall Kölsch since it is not sold in Bottles. But tastes super Good
You are welcome to Germany! I LOVE 'Sauerbraten'! 😊
If you're going to be in Bristol then try St Nicolas Markets, got some good food stalls (love Pieminster & Brozen) as well as other stalls. Up the road in Gloucestershire you should try stopping off at Gloucester Services on the M5 nr J12 (has a great local food shop) and for pub food & real ale/cider The Red Lion Inn at Wainlode, Norton on the bank of the River Severn as well as The Gloucester Old Spot pub on the outskirts of Cheltenham.
Now i am hungry...^^. Nice videos, thank you..:-)
You should have gone up the Cathedral because the View in good weather is amazing 😊
Looks delicious! Meat cooked with the bone in is always sweeter and more tender.
I really enjoyed my stay in Koln. We had dinner at Weinhaus Vogel on the Eigelsteinstrasse. Fantastic bacon pancakes! Now excuse me while I mop up this drool from my keyboard.
Plus the beer is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is pretty funny to watch those videos as a German! :) especially when you try to pronounce some of the german words. And the food you too have been eating looks very nice! I haven't even tried some of that food myself :D
I love Cologne, it's such a lovely, beautiful city and I get to go there every weekend because my bf is originally from there. Also, Kölsch is better than normal beer :)
For the Sauerbraten:
Its usually a peace of meat you have to braise for hours.
Last time i made it, i made it with a whole Tri-Tip.
The marinade is most of the time red wine based (german wine of course) and then some spices and mirepoix are added to the marinade and the beef sits in the marinade for a minimum of 24 hours, but could be up to a week.
Then you strain the meat from the brine, roast and seal it on each side, take out the meat, fry some vegetables in the fond like carrots, sellery, leeks and so on, add the meat back in, cover it with the marinade and let it simmer for the next few hours...
Or, if your lazy like me, stick it in the oven and let it bubble away. After a few hours, the meat should me forktender and nearly fall apart. Take out the meat, strain the sauce from the aromatics (they´ve done their job), make a rough from flour and butter and then put in the strained sauce. Season with Salt, Pepper, in some regions some raisins, but try to not oversweet the sauce. It should have at least a decent tang to it.
As reccomendations go:
If your ever back in Germany again, visit Mainz. Its the capital of Rhineland Pfalz and sits on top of Germanys best wine Region, Rheinhessen. There you will find local food and some of the best wines through out Germany and Europe. And the scenery is beautiful as well ^^
Danke sehr

Sauerbraten is typically marinated in red wine and red wine vinegar for 4 or 5 days
That Eisben and Sauerbraten OMG !!!! I can just imagine how they would taste. Beautiful looking food and German meal portion tend to be so huge ! (which I don't mind of course).
And we germans tend to think that our portions are small in comparision to american portions.
German portions are not big, they're actually middle sized/tiny. It looks so big bcz the eisbein is with the bone. It's more like you get a 1,5kg plate and it's mostly just 500g meat. So the same weight class of a good tomahawk steak
Very nice footage. Hope you enjoyed your stay. Auf Wiedersehen. 🍺🍺🍺
looks like a grand time...so festive...and the church took 600 years to build...how do generations of craftsmen and masons keep a vision alive over all that time??? Amazing!
That's what we were wondering, you'd think the overall concept would just get lost!
Construction wasn't continuous. They stopped for a few centuries because people kind of lost interest and there wasn't any money for it. Architectural styles also changed with time, with the gothic style falling out of favor until making a comeback in the 19th century.
The original concept for the towers somehow survived (on sheets of parchment) and was rediscovered in the 19th century. Nationalism and a renewed interest in the past at that time then led a movement to finish it. You'll also notice that quite a few ruined castles were at least partially restored in the 19th century.
Even then, they didn't have the detailed original plans and neo-gothic isn't the same as gothic, so they put their own spin on it
And they will never be done with the cathedral, because they take rounds to repair it, so they choose one area, repair that, then move to the next area and so on. And when they come back to the first area this area needs to be repaired again (due to the dirty air and acid rain).
