ABOUT ME
Hey there, I’m Jenna! A Canadian Expat living in Germany since 2014. 🇩🇪
Like many, I had a difficult time relocating - all the paperwork, making sure I wasn’t getting scammed, finding a flat, a phone plan, a job, etc. So, I took it slowly and documented all my adventures along the way so that years down the road, I could help others avoid making the same mistakes I did. Let’s look at it as… PAVING THE WAY FOR NEW EXPATS TO SAVE TIME & MONEY!
I built up www.lifeinduesseldorf.com to help expats make the best out of their lives in Düsseldorf, and then soon realized a lot of the content I was sharing was helpful for ALL expats living in Germany. SO I BUILT AN ONLINE PROGRAM THAT HELPS EXPATS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD RELOCATE TO GERMANY EASILY - WHILE ALSO HELPING TO SAVE THEM THOUSANDS OF EUROS! 🤑
... and now I’m bringing it all to KZfaq! ♥️

About the potatoe pancakes: While it is true that some people prepare them in the deep fryer, I'd strongly recommend frying them in a pan. The ready made ones from the supermarktet you showed in the video already have enough fat in them that you don't even need to put any additional fat into the pan at all. They get crispier that way and don't soak up more fat that doesn't add to the flavor.

You should try „Matjes“ ( Fish) and „Stremellachs“ (fish) ideally in Nothern Germany. Furthermore, Weißwürstchen mit süssem Senf, is worth trying in Bavaria i. e. in a German Biergarten - tasty even if you were not a meat lover. Last, but not least, Look out for „Spreewald-Gurken“ (cucumbers)offered with different tastes. Best when visiting the beautiful Spreewald on one of the famous boats. Enjoy 😎

I'm a second generation German/American. Both of my grandparents were from Germany. I grew up on Lentil stew and Spaetzl. The stew had chunks of ham in it. Yum. I also grew accustomed to Rouladen, or rolled beef. It's very thin beef rolled around a dill pickle slice, with bacon and onion slices. I could eat 8 of them in one sitting. And Sauerbraten (seasonal) with red cabbage and and spaetzle. I love Kartoffelpuffers. But my diabetes won't let me eat them any more.
@Astrofrank
@Astrofrank 2 жыл бұрын
Suggestions: 1. Serve potato dumplings with the Sauerbraten instead of Spätzle. 2. Leave out the pickle when making Rouladen, use a mixture of medium-hot and extra-hot mustard for covering, brown the Rouladen until almost black, and dilute not too much when making the sauce.

Since you love Quarkbällchen and Reibekuchen so much, you definitely should give Quarkkeulchen a try. This sweet dish comes from Saxony and is a pan-fried dough in the shape of a burger patty, but more oval. Quarkkeulchen are made from mashed potatoes, curd (Quark), eggs, flour, some grated lemon zest, (optional) raisins, vanilla sugar and a pint of salt. They are traditionally eaten with (cinnamon) sugar and apple purée (Apfelmus). Homemade they are unbeatable (and irrestable as well ;-) )

The receipes differ a lot. Btw., Quarkeulchen are usually not deep-fried, but panfried. ;-)

Grandma used to make Kartoffelpuffer (potato Pancakes) not deep frying - but in the pan. Yes, you use a lot of oil, but they do not swim in it. For potato salad there are a lot of different recipes, the main direction is - in the North of Germany we prefer the mayo Version, in the South they make it with a little bit of broth, vinegar and oil (very tasty!) I have come to make a Variety with baked pumpkin, a Vinaigrette and lamb's lettuce. Has a nicer, fresher crunch to it from the salad and is not as sour - because of the sweet pumpkin flesh. There are more potato salad recipes around than just the two main varieties. And I have come to make mayo myself, when I use it at all (rarely) - quickly done with a stick blender. Potato salad is a staple on Christmas Eve. Most people eat that and some Wiener, I like meat balls (Frikadellen) or fishcakes (Fischfrikadellen) with mine.

As a born and raised "Hesse" (what's the English expression for that, I wonder?) I strongly recommend you try "Franfurter grüne Soße mit Kartoffeln und Eiern" that's potatos and eggs with a sauce made of a dairy product mixed with seven specific urbs. But I must advise you to avoid the sauces you'd be able to get at a supermarket. Those can't hold a candle to the original you'd get in Frankfurt in a restaurant. So should you travel somewhere near Frankfurt treat yourself to that dish - I would imagine you'd like it right away.

Maybe the dark bread is the reason why you now eat more butter. The heavy, dark rye bread contrasts with the butter (which tastes a little bit sweet), making it a very pleasant combination (especially on freshly baked bread). And once your palate is used to it, you start to like it on its own.

When you like Reibekuchen but not the apple sauce, you could try it with smoked salmon instead. There are also different types of Potato Knödel in germany, so as example you can eat them with Sauerkraut and bacon-cream-sauce called Hoorische or Grumbeer-Spatze or Gefüllte (which means filled potato Knödel with chopped meat and herbs, also with the good old bacon-cream-sauce and Sauerkraut) in Saarland and in parts of Rheinland-Pfalz. In general I would say Knödel are quite popular in middle and eastern Europe and they come in all different kind of flavors and fillings and even sweet ones you normally eat as a dessert.

Mettbrötchen - because of the concept of putting raw meet on a bun. And by the way, try Mettwurst, raw meat that is conserved and tastes fresh even after several days. Pickled sausages - you find them in the supermarket in glasses, you can eat them raw with some mustard, or boil them, and put them on a bun like a hot dog. Mohnkuchen - everything with poppy seed, it is quite common in germany, and nearly unknown on the other side of the atlantic. Laugenstange - sourdough bread, but in lye before baking Pumpernickel - the story says, its the fart of a demon, but here it is an appetizer. Underberg - a digestive liquor

if you like mustard you should go to the Senfmühle in cochem...as a child i had a really bad habit of sucking my thumb and to train me out of it my uncle tried to put mustard on it...and I LOVED it...since that day I put mustard on everything, my first internet passwords were mustard-related and I ate it by the spoon! and boy this Senfmühle for sure has cost me a bunch xD

You should try: - Sauerbraten mit Rotkohl und Semmelknödeln - Grünkohl mit Kasseler und Brühwurst (und Senf...) - Labskaus mit Rote Beete mit Rollmops, Spiegelei und (wichtig!) dazu ein herbes Pilsener (e.g. Flensburger) (try it all together, don't leave anything out or it does not taste good. Give it a go even if the first impression is not so good - it gets better while you eat.) - Steckrübeneintopf (Rübenmus) mit einer Prise Muskatnuss mit Kasseler und Brühwurst (und Senf...) - Königsberger Klopse mit Kapern, Rote Beete und Salzkartoffeln All these also fit very well into the cold wintertime. Lass es dir schmecken.

fun fact: "Alles in Butter" means "everything is fine" on origin was from a guy who dont want his plates to break during travel so you pured meltet buter over it and as it got hard his plates were save. BUT this was also a advertising slogan from Berliner barkeeper to say "we dont use cheap fat, we use the good stuff BUTTER". everything tastes better with butter. (but yes, to much is unhealthy. eat responsible)

You need to try a real German Currywurst or Bratwurst. Schnitzel is also a must have tried. And Flammkuchen. Also have you ever tried Stockbrot? At Camping trips, festivals, longer schooltrips and so on you usually do it. Basically dough, put in a cleaned Stick and backed over an open fire. I personally love it. Is that common in other countries?

Spicing up take-out food with stuff at home, I do all the time. The asparagus growers actually eat their asparagus blue. That means the sprouts do not grow covered over with soil. Instead, they are exposed to daylight and turn blue. You get a more intensive taste, and the blue pigments (anthocyanins) act as antioxidants. Much better, however, the white asparagus does look better after cooking. Therefore, you can get green but no blue asparagus on the market, a long-running fad in Germany, no more. Actually, you can use olive oil for many things, too. Yes, the best potato salad has no mayonnaise! If you are homesick for Canada or Britain and miss a British breakfast, try fried Nuernberg sausages with fried potatoes and the usual accessories. Thank you for the info. Je Suis Samuel.

In former East Germany the most favorite mustard is Bautz'ner Medium. I also like it. I'm from Berlin. Born in the east of berlin. Because you asked. It's not a sweet mustard but it's also not to hot. Just spicey. You can detect it by it's blue cover. I don't like the dumplings(Klösse) they sell in the supermarket. But i love my self made "Grüne Klösse" and sometimes also "Thüringer Klösse". Döner yeah! Here in berlin you have nearly every 5 steps a döner shop and i always get hungry seeing it. It's so yummy!

If i got you right, you like even the dark bread "Schwarzbrot", but then you should (if not already done) try the very very black kind of the dark bread called "Pumpernickel) ! This bread gets baked for around 24h on 70° C? resulting into a nice sweet taste and it becomes even more yummy with (ofc) Butter. Now add Leberwurst and "Schlesische Gurkentaler" and i promise you will love it. Guten Appetit! Grüße aus der deutschen Klingenstadt Solingen

The most delicious german pastry, ranked even above the Quarkhörnchen (crazy! I know!). Sadly it's limited to northern germany, mostly hamburg. Riddles me to no end. And a old Germany classic (If you ask me, it's more of a let down but 🤫): Birnen, Bohnen & Speck. Well, enough of the german need for Streicheleinheiten, how about you tell us what canadian food we shouldnt miss?
