In Germany we say: Du hast Füße bis zum Boden, also lauf. Means: You have feets that reach the ground, so walk

"Hela Curry Ketchup" ist KING!!!

As the stores are nearby, you could go shopping every day - or even twice a day. That's why you don't buy that much stuff at once. When I was still living in a german city, I went shopping every day - right after work on my way home. Just quickly into the store, buying 2 or 3 items I needed for my evening - 3 minutes, done!

Well, who wants to have 200 bottles at home? Where you live, you have to drive miles to take them to a recycling center. Here, you simply take them with you when you go shopping and return them there.

I have five different supermarkets within a 10 min walking distance. Whenever I miss something in the kitchen, I just walk over and buy the item. No need for big hauls.

5:20 Quark is a kind of smooth cottage, curd or cream cheese. If made from sour milk it is also a intermediary product in the production of some cheeses. It can be used in sweet, fruity desserts, as savory chive quark, to make doughs for cakes or to make German cheese cakes. It is also used medically in poultices (cooling in case of joint inflammation, sprains, bruises, sunburn). 5:30 Harzer Käse (Harz cheese) is only one kind of "stinky" cheeses made from skimmed sour milk (therefore low fat, high protein). The Mainz and Hessian Handkäse variety are used in the classic regional dish "Handkäse mit Musik" (handy cheese with music), chopped up and marinated in vinegar, oil, onions, pepper and salt. (The onions make the "music".) 10:20 I never ever buy packaged meats. I get my sausages and meat from one of my preferred butchers. Far better quality - not as cheap, but you get more for your money in the end.

One thing comes to mind when I think about Canadian products in the supermarket. We have hundreds of types of cheese, but I have never seen those weird cheese curds that go into poutine. So, if I get poutine in Germany, it's usually made with mozzarella cheese.

Quark is basically what you get if letting joghurt sit in a fine sieve overnight (in the fridge) to get rid of some of the whey. What you are left with is a more solid/dense version of joghurt. It is amazing in a lot of dishes! Desserts, cheesecake, or savory with herbs, eaten alongside potatoes for example.

Spaghetti Ice was common even when I was a child. Maybe not at ALDI, but in Ice Cream Parlors it was widely known. Fun fact: I´m 63 now! Hela ketchup is from Ahrensburg/Germany, near my home town! And I still remember it from my childhood, our big bbq parties with Coca Cola, Bratwurst and meatballs! "Fleischsalat" (sausage salad) is best eaten on bread. Beer and Wine in a supermarket is common, and our legal drinking age for anything that doesn´t contain hard liquor is at 16, while kids are legally allowed beer and wine at the age of 14 when their parents are around. About the problem with the beer bottles at 2:44: These deposit machines crush the one-use plastic bottles, so they don´t take glass bottles. German thoroughness!

0:40 Where I live, the next grocery store is a 5 minute walk away and the next mall maybe 20 minutes and when I use public transportation, I could save 10 minutes.

Hela Curryketchup is pure love

8:07 That’s the famous Barbara’s rhubarb bar bababrian beart barber beer

I used to live in Berlin and I was lucky enough to have a doctor and dentist on the ground floor in the block, I just have to take the elevator from the 9th floor to the ground floor. This was very convenient and the nearest supermarket was only 100 meters away.

Quark with herbals is similar to sour cream, but not the same. Germans like to combine it with bread or potatoes. You combine Quark without herbals with fruits or berries and cereals. That‘s typical for a German breakfast. Or you use it for desserts or cakes.

Quark is -- very short and not very precise -- a very early stadium of cheese. So it is not yoghurt or cream.

There are LOADS of OLD PEOPLE who use a bicycle to get to the store ... but mostly in eastern germany.

8:20 for the Breaktime! Normaly you buy cheaper at a Box of 20x0,5L. Friday after work, you see many worker. 4-6 boxes Put inside the Trunk at south Germany 😂

Fleischsalat geht immer,alles drin einfach ausstreichen fertig.

10:28 smoked blood sausage. i eat thin slices together with Ritz Cookies, at my home Cinema Theater at the basement

That was meat salad, not sausage salad in the video. It looks very different. Wurstsalat is sliced sausage with ghurkens and paprika or cheese...🤓

some years ago I bought Mischbrot(Sour dough bread) at Real Canadian Superstore. it tastes like the packed german bread

Even a homeless person would have 50 ct or 1 EUR to unlock a shopping trolley. You can also use plastic chips as a substitute for coins. The main point is to prevent customers from leaving shopping carts in the parking lot and damaging cars when they roll around unsecured.

The HELA Curry Ketchup costs $17.00 for a bottle at Walmart online shipping. 😳It wouldn't be worth it to me for the price, because a bottle costs less than €3 here in Germany.

Hela Curry Ketchup, also called "Ahrensburger Gold" by some locals, as it is from the city of Ahrensburg, where I grew up. Of course, for me it is the one and only ;) Hela actually does export its products via its websites, just not for private households, but rather food services or supermarkets. I do not know what the minimum shipping amount is, just would hazard a guess and say you will be able to provide everyone in your vicinity with it... So either taste it when you get to Europe, or maybe make an aquaintance who could send it to you.

I thought that the system with putting in a Euro was created to make people return their carts, so the ultimatum is "return your car or pay the 1Euro/50CT/2Euros fee you put in the cart for cleanup."

I'm not a big fan of Ketchup, but if, it's Hela Curry. Hela good. 😋😏

4:22 this company makes the best Curry Ketchup for Low price! I want buy, but this size is for 2-3y ! 😂

I love your videos ❤ best wishes from Germany 🌴

Mix some curry powder in normal ketchup. Maybe add something more spicy also. "Best Curry Ketchup in Vancouver" 🙂 Start with a small portion. 🙂

In Sweden we love our tubed foods

When I go to my church to prepare something, I use the opportunity to buy groceries.

Hella's delicate ketchup is really good, I've never met anyone who didn't like it.

You’ve said „Moin“! 🤩🤩🤩 Greetings from the Baltic Coast!

If you want to return 200 empty bottles ... you NEED A CAR!

My next supermarket is 1 minute across the street and down the street a bit. The next chain clothing store is 20 seconds directly across the street. And directly next to me are three or four takeaways food like Greek and Syrian snd Turkish xD I don't own a car

I have 3 supermarkets closer by then the size of the average parking of a supermarket in the US. When I work at home, I often just go shopping during my mid day break. If I work at the office, from door to door (I go by train) I pass 5 or 6 supermarkets, so shopping several times per week is not really an issue.

Only sterilized milk is not refrigerated. And Wurstsalat is not the same as Fleischsalat.

7:38: This is actually quite annoying. There are single bottles on the shelf. You don't need to rip the packages open and annoy the other customers who want to buy a package and only find those that are ripped open.

10:24 : Fleischsalat auf Knäckebrot ( danish = knækbrød) or Schwarzbrot very delicious ( sehr lecker!) Greetings from northern Germany ♥️🇩🇪

For the carts, you can also use a plastic chip instead of a real coin. It's so that people return the cart, not because of homeless people stealing them. I've never seen a homeless person pushing such a cart in my life, here, that seems to be a "only in America" thing. Some people, not necessarily homeless, steal them to make barbecues. I remember how it was before they came up with this system, and carts were left everywhere on the car park, people would just put all the stuff in the trunks of their cars and drive off, leaving the carts on the spot.

Say, moin and servus ! 😂 North and south ( Not the Amiga Game ) 😅 different.

09:28 oops, I just ate one of those while watching the video (peanut knoppers). hehe.. yummi 😋

5:04 a kind of raw cream cheese.

Spaghetti ice is not a novelty ,was invented in the 60s.

Must have been a bad joke. Nobody likes rhubarb ^^ No1 is mineral water no2 coke and coke-mixes and no3 lemonades. These both seem to have a quite special taste and I'm always wondering, why he - being a German - is always finding things strange xD

If you want it, buy the red labeled! It's the hot one. Forget about the other.

I am in Germany and I would totally send you a box of german food and snacks, if you are interested. 😊

Apparently my comment on Curry Ketchup disappeared… you CAN get it, the very same brand and type, where you thought you can, BUT: the price in Canada is insanely high, like more than ten times that of the price in a German supermarket.

5:18 comparable.

Greetings from Germany. I love Canada

11:50 I‘d actually be interested in seeing a Tim Horton‘s (sp?). I take it they are quite an archetypical feature of Canada, but… well… nowhere else?

The coin is not against homeless... Even homeless can get a quarter for a one time purchase xD it's for people to bring them back and not let them standing around. Sadly now there are tools on keychains that unlock them and instantly they are standing around everywhere ... People are disgusting

Holy sh!t, 45 Canadian Dollars for a medium (800ml) of Hela Gewürz-Ketchup???? Seriously overpriced, same Bottle costs about 3 Euro in Germany

Hela Curry Gewürz Ketchup 😋

Hi, Mace! How do you store eggs in the supermarket in Canada?

What about the weird things Americans call "food" ?

8:02 - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/na1mZd2S3pnPk58.html

That ketchup is fcking disgusting! :D

Hela 🥰

IT’S NOTHING WEIRD ,IT’S AN EUROPEAN THING. HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH GERMANY.

Not refrigerated milk = H-Milk = yuck! I have not learned to drink H-Milk for the last 50 years, and I don't really expect this to change in the next decades to come. Fresh milk FTW.

IMO, "Hela Ketchup" is 🤮, low quality and awful taste. I avoid this brand.

this guy in the video is not allways right with everything he said...
