I live in Belgium and I remember my grandma and uncle drank alcoholfree sweet dark beer ('table beer') instead of limonade or cola .

@@wanneske1969 Malzbier?

@@raygoro3446 Stimmt :-)

Lmao hahaha

exactly, just like the yeast packets, but i rarely bought it, i liked the jars but now i am trying to bake with natural yeast

The small ones are also somewhat of a standard size. Cooking instructions even often only say „one package baking powder“

Genau. Die Packungen Backpulver sind meist in 5er-Packs z.B. beim Discounter deiner Wahl erhältlich. In dieser kleinen Größe ("für einen Kuchen " ) hat übrigens Dr.Oetker angefangen. Zur Hefe: Trockenhefe ist zwar ganz nett. Aber besser ist m.E. die frische Hefe, Würfel zu 42 Gramm. Kostet weniger als trockene und ist effektiver (subjektiv).

Yes, in germany this colour is called "Schwedenrot" (=Sweden red) and I connect this colour mainly with houses from the swedish countryside. (Although I know the red american barns from american movies and tv-shows.)

I only know the traditional German habit to treat the wood of barns with oil, therefore these often apear (dark) brown. Untreated wood turns silvery gray after a while.

Unfortunately child proof schuko sucks. In my opinion a replacement should be standardised in the EU

US plugs are basically as dangerous, since given the appliances using the same power, the current is higher.

@ 110 V and 220 V plugs are not the same. The 220 V plugs are much heavier and the wiring is much heavier. The plug on an electric stove is about the size of my fist, and the contacts are heavier and constructed so that they cannot be used in a insufficient outlet.

@@nejdro1 I remember at least some decades ago, electric stoves didn't have plugs, they had fixed connections to three-phase power (approximately 400V). I think I've since seen them with standard 220V plugs.

@@KaiHenningsen Yes, I don't know when it changed, but today's stoves all come with a heavy duty plug, rather than being "hard wired". My first house, which was built in 1970, had the stove hard wired. When I bought a new stove, several years later, I had to install a new outlet 220v to accept the plug.

@@nejdro1 combos of stoves and hobs are still "hard wired" as they need the higher voltage to operate together.

Ja, so wie ich das kenne, ist das in kleinen Portionen, jeweils für 1 Kuchen. Und die werden in 3er oder 10er Packs verkauft.

8g pro Packung...

Das ist Weinsteinbackpulver, das ist oft in größeren Tütchen

Man kann auch normales Soda nehmen. Gibts in 1000-Gramm und größer...

@@northman1268 Klar, geben tuts alles, ich verwende selbst auch Soda. Aber wenn man im Supermarkt nach Backpulver sucht, findet man am ehesten diese kleinen Beutel.

Right

This is sometimes also done in other stores on certain days, or even in buildings which aren't normally stores on certain days. I think they call it "Outlet-Verkauf" or "Outlet Sale"

Also in America; same word, two different meanings.

Generally what you used to call a "Werksverkauf" where second-grade products are sold at an (allegedly, often it is not) cheap price.

😂🤣

lustige Idee

Aber Chuck Norris könnte es...

There is. It depends where you are in the US. If you are in an area with a lot of Germans and Swiss the stores have it. Ohio has a shop that's a world market and has a lot of stuff from multiple countries. Germany has a gigantic (and I mean gigantic) section. You can easily spend 3 hours looking at all the German products.

If Lift is still a thing, maybe you can find that in some store.

@@jessicaely2521 German Girl in America filmed a Vlog there

There is, its called cider

@@roberthelbing2794 Doesn´t cider contain alcohol? I don´t think it´s the same.

I still drink Capri Suns, just wish we had more of the German varieties.

Since they discontinued my favorite flavor (lemon) I hardly drink it anymore.

And, depending where you are, some are made of wood, others of stone.

Lovely pic of u Anna-Carolina!

My US apartment hasn't been updated in a while-only about half will hold a plug without falling out. Certain ones can only take "light" plugs. I can't believe that's not even an issue in Germany!!

@@zimithria 😦 that sounds unbelievably annoying. Is there a reason why plugs are made that way?

Can’t say that I’ve ever had a problem with loose plugs in America. The one thing I can say, is that I can go anywhere in America and find the same plug and the same voltage and hurts cycles. This is not true in Europe

@@nejdro1 it's not true for some parts of the EU - but most of it: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europlug

"bowling and kegeln are different sports" People keep saying this, but meeeeh ... ;P

@@Feyamius Always depends on how you define it. If "throwing a ball at a wooden pin" is a sport, then bowling and kegeln are the same sport :-D

I live in Belgium and just around the corner is this huge bowling venue where you can eat spare ribs, hot dogs etc ... Lots of people eat there during/after bowling but it's not really haute cuisine

No, Alnatura just sells bigger packages. ^^

Und nicht zu stark. Ich kann das gekaufte nicht mehr trinken. Zuhause mischen wir 15% Apfelsaft zu 85% Wasser (grob geschätzt).

In Germany a barn is called Scheune ( oldfashioned Scheuer), but in swabian dialect of my homeregion Barn means the part of a Scheuer, where hay and straw is really stored.

Often recipies in Germany also say "Use one packet of baking powder" which is convenient.

Why? Are they owned by a company or the government?

@@vickymc9695 White barns for dairy show that they are clean for milk. Tobacco barns have no paint to keep the smell of the paint from affecting the taste of the tobacco. In US it was common to use a milk wash paint consisting of red clay (red dirt in many places in US) and milk which makes an inexpensive paint. The government owns no barns in US except for research facilities. Red became the defacto standard for painted barns in the 1800s and when farmers could afford "real paint" the kept ghr red color.

In Wisconsin. dairy barns are mainly red, in my rural dairy town where there are more cows than people, we have 4 red dairy barns and only one white barn.

Schwedenrot/Falunrot: _Die Bezeichnung Falu Rödfärg[2] sowie das Falu Rödfärg Logo[3] sind eingetragene, geschützte Markenzeichen der Stora Kopparbergs Bergslags AB,_ and it's supposed to be approximately RAL 2009 (Oxidrot/Oxide red). No need to bother DIN.

Awesome!! Wish you lots of fun reading it🤩👏🌟🇩🇪🥳 Happy New Year!

@@WantedAdventure Thank you!! 🤗🤗 Greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭

@@WantedAdventure Hi Dana! I’ve just read your book and I’m enthusiastic! 🥳🥳 It’s very entertaining and I’ve enjoyed very much! 😃😃🤗 By the way, some aspects are same confusing the other way around! For example the who = wer / where = wo thing, is challenging for German-speakers who are learning English, too. 😅 I love the part about Switzerland! 😍 I can completely comprehend your troubles with understanding! But Swiss German is much easier than High German: 😜 1. Only ONE past tense (present perfect simple) 2. NO future tense (use present simple + just add the time, f. e. tomorrow, next month, etc) 3. A lot of short forms (f. e. 🇨🇭 “Hesch dLoki gseeh?” = 🇩🇪 “Hast du die Lokomotive gesehen?”) 🚂 And so on. Of course, the basic for Swiss German is High German. Numbers in Switzerland: 1’000’000.28 or 5.7 🤓 In this case we write a full stop but we SAY a COMMA. 🤯🤯 For indirect speech you use “sei” for first and third singular: 🤓 Ich rief, ich sei noch unter der Dusche. 🚿 Er sagte, er sei krank. 🤒 Thank you for your interesting book! 🙌📖 I’ve got a question: Is there a difference how people knock at door? 🤔 I have noticed people in US movies always knock in a specific rhythm at a door. Is that common in real life, too? Here in Switzerland I rarely knock at a door because there’s usually a door bell. I sometimes need to knock inside a building at a door to an office or something like that. But here it’s common to knock 2-4 beats in a straight way. A specific rhythm is usually a code (or) for children. Have you ever thought about it or have you already made a video about it? Thank you and have a great day! 🤗 Greetings from Switzerland🇨🇭

I would've put the peak a little earlier, around 1996-97... But yeah, back then, you would see someone inline-skating every day, now it something you only occasionally see. Instead now everywhere you see people using these e-scooters.

The two things are probably related, people underestimate the risks so they don't take precautions and they don't think health insurance is important

I remember that the peak was in the early-mid 90s. Back then, it was a trend sport among kids who used small wheels and wanted to learn tricks on parking lots or in the half pipe. If you see skaters today, it‘s usually mum and dad at the skate night.

@@IlluminatedDisplays ...who are those exact kids from ‘96 though 😂

You guys are probably right, I was born in the early 90s so I wouldn't really know if it was bigger in '95 than in '00

she had to guess? I would have thought with 29 one would have come across enough pictures of them that you would KNOW and not have to guess...

@@silkwesir1444 so proud of you that you know things. Keep up the good work! ☺️

There are a lot of Scandinavian descendants in the Midwest. So maybe.

The languages are really different languages and not merely dialects, although they are "kissing cousins" Germanic. Many Dutch people who live along the border can speak both languages.

I found out My Adopted Oma can read German!!

I think the newer US outlets you refer to are the tamper-resistant type. My apartment building was rebuilt in 2013 and has those. They don't really require any more force to plug or unplug than the old type, but they do require that both blades go in simultaneously, for it to open its safety shutters. Because of this, they won't allow plugging in if you're holding it at an angle. Based on Dana's video I can easily believe that the German outlets still require more force than the US ones.

Do you also know the regulation about which devices need to have which of these plugs? If the device has a metal casing, it needs to have the Schuko-Stecker. That's so that if something goes wrong and a wire gets loose inside and touches the case, the customer is not electrocuted when touching it. The additional safety contacts on the side will cause the "FI-Schalter" (residual-current device (RCD), residual-current circuit breaker (RCCB), or ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)) in the fuse box to cut power in such an instance.

We also use Hirschhornsalz for soomething called Amerikaner (=americans)

@@ApsaraMenaka Do tell! How do you make them?

@@darrylrichman so. I hope I translated right: 75 g butter 175 g sugar Vanille extract as much as like and/or peel of a lemon as much as you like pinch of salt 1 egg 8g Hirschhornsalz 250 ml of milk 500g flour 75g dark chocolate 75g white chocolate Mix 1-2 tablespoons of milk with the Hirschhornsalz unter its desolved. Put aside for later. Mix well: butter, sugar, vanilla/lemon peel and salt. Then put in the egg and mix again until combined Put in flour and milk alternaly in small amounts each and keep mixing everything together while doing so. Be quick or the dough will get to hard and try. Now add the Hirschhornsalz-milk-mix from the begining and mix for one last time until it becomes a firm dough. Make portions of ca 3-4 cm in size and put them on a tray with baking paper. Make sure to leave space between them as they will run flat while baking. Bake for 15-20min in a preheated oven (air circulation) at 170 Celsius. Let steam out after opening oven (smells a little weird, dont worry that is normal) Let it completly cool off. Melt chocolate in two bowls Now put either dark chocolate on top of one half of your "americans" and white chocolate on top of the other half (you should get about 30 with the recipy, so cover about 15 with dark choc. and 15 with white choc.) Or if you want to get fancy try put on dark chocolate on top of only one half of each american and cover the other half with white chocolate. Some prefer sugar glaze made from powdered sugar and water over white chocolate. But I dont.

@@ApsaraMenaka Sounds great! But I've never seen cookies like that here in the USA. I guess that's like Steak Americain that the French make. You'll almost never find that here, either.

apple juice is non alcoholic, whereas cider (or "cidre" in France) contains alcohol. Not much. Just between 4 and 8 volume percent.

@@Herzschreiber no there is NO alcohol in cider. You could add alcohol but usually there isnt any. I drank it and it was sold to me when I was 6. This is what apple cider is en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_cider#:~:text=Apple%20cider%20(also%20called%20sweet,alcoholic%20beverage%20made%20from%20apples.&text=Cider%20is%20typically%20pasteurized%20to,but%20untreated%20cider%20is%20common.

@@Herzschreiber Yes and no. There are two kinds of cider. One is the one you descriped (comparable to the German Apfelwein). The other one is a very intense kind of apple juice without any alcohol.

@@schubser3327 but there is a difference between cider and "Apfelwein" which is also called Viez in some regions. Apfelwein does not sparkle, cider does.
