In Germany, the vast majority speaks english. And if not, the bavarians are nice, esp. in these traditional restaurants - if needed, we will speak "with hands and feet" (myself German, living in Munich and a chef).

Sauerkraut is so typically German that they called us "Krauts". It is super healthy, low in calories but lots of minerals and especially Vitamin C. Pretty much the only source of Vitamin C in medieval German winters.

27:56 Beer, sausage salad and duck for 25 Euro´s is fair. Beer cost perhaps 3-4 Euro´s, sausage salad perhaps 7-8 Euro´s. And Munich is expensive.

A fresh schnitzel means: the meat is not frozen, it is sliced, it is seasoned after ordering, it is breaded and cooked in a pan with unprocessed butter (or often clarified butter) just before serving. Meat, salt, pepper, flour, egg, breading, butter. That's it. No artificial additives. I would say this is standard procedure for a “good schnitzel” in Germany/Austria. Of course there are also pre-baked ones, but you can taste the difference.

You do not have to learn German, pretty much everybody here speaks English. However, if you try to speak German people are going to appreciate it.

a good great Potatosalat (oil & vinegar) with Cucumber (FRESH not Pickles!) and/or Radishes IS EVERYTHING 💙💙💙

I can't watch this without getting hungry

An original Munich Schnitzel has to be veal (not pork!) coated with a mix of sweet mustard and horse radish under the finish of breadcrumbs from pretzels. Andechser is actually a beer brand by the Benedectine monastic brewery in Andechs (upper Bavaria); their most famous beer is the dark Doppelbock (a Bock beer is a strong beer, the Doppelbock has more than 7% alcohol). And in any Munich restaurant you'll have personnel speaking English very well, which will translate the menu to you (like she did at least try here, but "Leberkaes" is really hard to translate - it is the thing in 11:17). Traditional Bavarian food is made for hard working people, therefore much carb and much protein. Currywurst (curry sausage) was invented in Berlin after WW II by a street stand operator using ketchup (maybe also Worcester sauce) and curry powder she had obtained from British soldiers.

The best schnitzel is still wiener schnitzel with cranberry jam

It depends on which state you are visiting. Bavaria has a completely different cuisine than Schleswig-Holstein. What you should definitely try in Germany is the currywurst and the Döner kebab. Another thing you should definitely try is the Black Forest Cherry gateau. There is a video series called Cooking the world and it's mainly about German cuisine. I'll give you the link there so you can look around at your leisure. www.youtube.com/@cooking-the-world Just as a little information, there are 1,520 different types of sausage in Germany. The Federal Republic is world-famous for its types of sausage and ham: Thuringian bratwurst, bockwurst, currywurst, liverwurst, white sausage, meat sausage - nowhere is the variety greater than here. You don't have to learn German. German is often not easy for native speakers. So why learn our language which is not easy to learn. What you should be able to do is say "Guten Tag"or "Auf Wiedersehen"or "Danke" and "Bitte". Most Germans speak English, especially in larger cities.😊😉 Furthermore, most of your types of beer were founded by Germans, but as far as I know, you don't have the German Purity Law for beer. Therefore your beer is adulterated - we would call it "Pisswasser"😅😅. Real good German beer is brewed according to the purity law and anyone who drinks it will immediately notice the difference. By the way, in northern Germany we like our beer a little more bitter than southern Germans. By the way, the currywurst was invented by Herta Heuwer from West Berlin after the Second World War. Unfortunately there is no uniform price for fries with currywurst. But you should expect 5-10 euros.😊

This documentary was from 6 Years ago, Prices have gone up since then! A Schnitzel back then 10 - 11 € is now around 16 €

When i go to my local "fry smith" or "Frittenschmied" i pay 3.50 Euro for Currywurst with Fries and Mayonnaise (or whatever you want and is available). But that is exceptionally cheap. Others want more than that.

Dark Beer ist very good. Sweet and strong together. Special the dark Bock Beer. About 8% alcohol.

It is a duck, Not a chicken... very different.

I come from northern Germany, where Hamburg is as well. Honestly, I've never seen someone who eat this, or even visited a restaurant in my entire life that came up with the strange idea of serving schnitzel with fried eggs. 🤣 I don't know why the heck they call it Hamburg Schnitzel. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Each area of Germany has its own specialties. Take a look at the videos of Deana and Phil, a German/American couple who often make videos about local specialties from all over Germany during their travels. Their Christmas market videos are also interesting.

You better mix the sausage with the mashed potatoes. The Sauerkraut solo... 😁

Including tips, that 25 EUR is 28 EUR max. Always have to keep that in mind as an American.

Hahah this is funny to watch...their eyes and their how they look 😅✌️🤤

Well they mostly speak also english, but some specialized meal names have German name and you need to know how to prononce them or worst case you can point with finger .

I can see your MOUTH is watering 😂😂😂😂 that’s good right ???😂😂😂😂😂

You put beer on the meat while roasting for the taste and shiny crispy skin

Fyi there is a difference between wiener schnitzel an schnitzel one is Calf the the other one is pork schnitzel =pork Wiener schnitzel =calf

Ok, first of, i'm a Bavarian and spent over a decade in Munich. The Dude went to Bergwolf (which a former co-worker of mine loves) and to the Augustiner Bräustuben, or "Breistuam" as i'd say ;) These are solid choices for Munich, Augustiner makes the best beer imho, so going there or to the "Augustinerkeller" makes sense. Apart from that i'd recommend trying a traditional bavarian breakfast, i.e. Weißwürste, süßer Senf, Brezen und Weißbier (=veal sausages, sweet mustard, pretzels and wheat beer). The Leberkäse also is one of Bavaria's most popular foods and is often eaten in a bread roll, however it depends on the butcher whether we enjoy it or not^^ And for the restaurants i'd add "Lindwurmstüberl" (for it's view) and "Atzinger" or even "Zur Schwalbe" (if you want to bowl and eat).

Schuhbecks Eissalon: Mr. Alfons Schuhbeck is one of the most famous chefs in Germany and had several companies here. But actually he is in prison (3+ years) due to tax fraud and bankrupt!

Just checked their schnitzel menu. It is 16.90 € nowadays.

Yeah, the recipes in germany are often very old. From the time ppl had to work really hard. So they are made to feed you with great taste.

Where he ate is one of the most expensive locations in Germany you have to come to Upper Francoinia

Now I remember why I stoped watching Mark Wiens, the way he holds and handles cutlery drives me mad. xD

You surely have to consider that the prices are final, other than in the US, there you are expected to add about 20% (even more) for tipping and all taxes are included. So the prices are really decent and fair.

Some Potatosalad are made with Vinegar and not Majo. So its normal to have cucumber in it

sry to say but Munich is absolutely high prize in Germany

Most of us will understand you....because Englsih is an old saxon-roman language... and if we try hard :-) we can even speak to you :-)

This is where the German WWII nickname “Krauts” comes from.

That meatloaf is called leberkäse and is similar to a thick slice of fried bolony

Believe me Germany is where YOUR language came from

"London - no problem, they all speak English" No shit Sherlock, they speak English in fucking England 😂😂😂

Compared to the other food video you reacted to mark wiens went to good restaurants. Although currywurst is not a big thing in munich, he went to the most popular location to get it. Its more popular if you go farther north in germany, more central to northern germany.

dark beer when done well is delicious but it hits a bit harder

Good reaction. Looks like the germans have taken over another channel. 😂 A few things I noticed and wanted to talk about real quick. You talked about protein/carbs proportion, in this cases it might be true, but the big weakness of us as germans, is our love for bread and pastries, You have a bakery on every corner of the street(not really, but sometimes it feels like!) Many people get their food for the day at work there, cause it's quick and easy. I am a nutrition/fitness/health coach and have to deal with it. Carbs are a problem in germany! The prices, outside of munich, should be still the same today, as they were back then in munich. Munich is a very expensive city to live in. If you are ever planning a trip to germany, feel free to contact me. I can show you some nice places in my area(northern bavaria) and a guest room should be no problem aswell. "Mi casa es tu casa" is what I try to live by. I am also interested in learning about other peoples' way of life, so I have my benefits aswell.

Germany is about five miles from my home, so I have to cross the border once a week for some food. 🤣

yessss thats real food in the beerhall ;D

Augustiner Monks are awesome. Beer food everything. You should visit a monastery. Boah food good as hell.

Think about the price: in Germany the tax is included. Ps. You don't eat Wurstsalat on the bread, you eat both separated.

our food puts ink at your pencil ;D

nothing is better then a good currywurst^^

Hey bro, greetings from a German! Interesting video :)

These are only munich, Bavaria...

your comment to the bread is most in america are use to the toast what even is no natural toast I lived in a country as a kid that had the same bread as in usa and as I came to germany is realy crazy how much you can do with bread like I love realy dark bread with nutella and butter ,sounds wierd I like special salty fish in a bread bun and onions is a north german speciality ohh and with boiled eggs is amazing what cominations.gosh as I was in spain saw UK people eat frence fries in a bread bun and I though whaaattt did I try it no maybe even taste good but my reaction was Whatttt.ohhh and germans eat raw minced meat on a bread bun with onions naturaly you need a licance to do that specialty like japan with there piosand fish my mom eat it I cant but heyy people eat raw fish on rice and I jeard some americans tryed it and liked the raw minced meat thing

Currywurst is not a typical Bavarian food. He should have tried a "Schweinshaxe" (pork knuckle) instead.

I hate it when people say this or that in germany... in bavaria... Bavaria is not germany... and far away from being a standard for something or being liked by us, the other inhabitants of big G.

ok... you can get a snack and great beer in a biergarden but if you want real local food you wont find it in the beergarden thats tourist stuff.. just check the internet and look for a good recomended NORMAL german restaurant in a village around the city... better food and better prices ask for the normal stuff and what that place is famous for :)

I noticed your desire to understand more German. This video shows relatively impressively how close English and German actually are, if English hadn't been so corrupted by Latin and French influences. Unfortunately I couldn't track down the original. Therefore just a “reaction video”, with the original as the topic. I hope you can get an impression and then perhaps read and understand a menu card... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eZ6Bg8Jq0860e4k.html

You just eat one plate...

Dont reject german bread. Your loss. xD

the dark beer he drunk in the video does not taste like the beer u drink

I don't like dark beer either 😊 great reaction 😁

The ultimate food tour? and in Munich? The guy should rather have done a Germany-wide tour. that would have been ultimate. Bratwurst (roasted sausage) and schnitzel are not only available in Munich. I don't like Bavarian white sausages at all. I'd rather eat the delicious Mühlenbecker Krakauer or the Rostbratwurst (roasted sausage). There are doner kebabs in different variations, there are spaetzle, there is pizza (sometimes with fish fingers), there are casseroles, there are sandwiches, bread with meat (at medieval festivals), mushrooms with onions, or our Mediterranean fish specialities here in the north. Baked fish in batter, or lapskaus with cucumbers and fried potatoes, fish meatballs, crabs on bread, meat salad, potato salad, or various salads (with mayonnaise), salmon in a roll or rollmops (sour herring fillet wrapped around a cucumber), and much more.

SO simple soulfood

you looking to the wrong country

I'd just like to point out that you're gonna be fine speaking english. There will be restaurants or biergardens where you're obviously gonna have some old school staff which wont be able to properly communicate but it is gonna be a rare occasion. Most problems (especially the menu item ones) are gonna be solvable by you googling shit and pointing fingers. If that doesn't work out just ask other customers if they'll help you out communicating. There's always a german around being based at speaking english, do not worry.

in germany you dont need to speak german if you are english. The language

nice now im hungry xD see ya

Wenn schon ein Schnitzl dan Wien ist noch mal was anderes als wie in 🇩🇪..... LG aus 🇦🇹 🤘 😁 🍻 Ps wennst scho amoi in Östareich bist geh mal zum Heurigen.. Is no mal a ganz andere Gschicht 😉🤪

theres only one thing to know if you go to germany; if we looking at you its much more because we are interested, not angry (or whatever) otherwise you will be having a great time! dont rush to much citys at once/take u time btw most ppl in bigger citys speak english in germany.
