That was definitely a very good choice for the first meal. I really hope that you have enjoyed it and still have it sometimes:)

"Jäger" and "Kölsch" instead of "Jager" and "Kolsch". Without any umlaut keys on your keybord just substitute them with "ae", "oe" and "ue". So: "Jaeger" and "Koelsch". 🙂

Great job😍

Grüße aus Köln. Prost.;-)

Jagerschnitzel was also my first meal there. So much great food there

Mein Mutter und ihre Eltern kamen aus Breslau, Schlesien. Schlesien gehoert seit dem 2ten Weltkrieg zu Polen. Mein Vater war ein Britischer Soldat in Verden/Aller , Nord Deutschland stationiert wo ich geboren wurde. Bin in Wales und Deutschland aufgewachsen. Bin US Citizen seit 1975. Wohne noredlich von Houston (The Woodlands) seit 1978. Meine Oma und Mutter konnten kochen. Besonders Rouladen und Blaukraut, Alle Arten von Gemuese Gerichte, Huhn und Gaensebraten besonders zu Weihnachten. Fischgerichte Forelle Blau zu Sylvester.

Wow! Extrem gutes Deutsch! Wie kommts?

@@YellowRoseofTexas01 wow, würde euch gerne mal besuchen. Grüße aus Sachsen / Germany. 🙂

I totally understand you! I'm German and my grandpa was Hungarian. We always cooked all kinds of food from both countrys together. Then he quickly passed away a month ago. It just doesn't taste like his food when I cook it. It's still so sad but on the other hand I'm also extremely grateful for the memories I was gifted 💗. Lots of love to your family

@@ronA8te My most sincere condolences to you and your family 😔 My Grandmother was German, and Grandfather was Hungarian - both born in 1920s. I was very close to them both. It is such a privilege and a blessing to be able to spend time with our grandparents as we grow up, we learn so much from them about so many things. I am grateful every day for everything they taught me, and the values they passed on to me. I am blessed to have known their love in my life, for me, for our family and for each other. I know you are probably still struggling with your loss, and losing such a guiding light is not an easy thing to come to terms with. Please know that it does get easier in time. I lost my Grandfather in 2008, and it still hurts at times - mostly in the kitchen. I'll be making pickle brine and suddenly, when all the aromas combine in just the right way... floods of tears. You say that when you cook, the food doesn't taste like your Grandfather's did. My theory on that is this: one day, it will. Maybe just that tiniest difference, but so close you'd almost think he was helping you. When we cook, passionate cooks, we put some of us into our cooking. That "extra, secret ingredient" - love. (You know how you can tell when food is rushed or made by someone who doesn't enjoy cooking). The love we have, the love we experience and the love we receive changes through our lives as we change and have new experiences. So does our cooking. The instinct and skill you have at 18 and what you have at 45 are different. So this, I think, is the reason the same food made the same way by 2 different people doesn't taste the same. In time, as your confidence, skills and instinct for cooking grows, that taste gap will become much smaller. Please don't ever stop cooking your family recipes, keep them alive and loved by the next generations. Make the time to record your family recipes to pass on to your children, and theirs. If you want to reach out, to chat or exchange thoughts on food, recipes, cooking... please feel free. Again, my deepest sympathies to you for your loss. 💙🌹

It sounds very delicious 🥰

5 different cheeses? Oh wow 😂

Delicious dishes :) hole you cook them from time to time :)

Those sound delicious 🤩

I have to say enchiladas (of any type ) are definitely a supreme comfort food - YUM!

😍

My German mom would make the best Potato pancakes. She would use regular potatoes; The best potato pancakes I have ever eaten.

Wow! Now I wonder how the white corn grits taste 😍the dishes sound lovely!

Hello:)

You were raised right.

My mom would make fried chicken sometimes on Sundays. Pot roast, which my sister would start before my mom came home from work. I wasn't allowed to use the stove so I chopped the vegetables with my sister keeping an eye on me and the cutting board. Our grandparents on our dad's side took us out to a restaurant on Front Street in San Francisco (way back in the 70's and 80''s called Schroeder's. My great grandma Bessie, (Elisabeth) who rarely ate meat, would have the schnitzel. I'm old now but am able to remember my childhood. For that I'm grateful and to family, alive or not.

Thanks Jim for sharing! They all sounds delicious 🤩

Many Pennsylvania Dutch people have roots in Palatinate, Baden-Württemberg, Hessen and so on, dont they?

@@karl-heinzgrabowski3022 Yes, most were actually from the Palatinate and other German principalities. They were mis-labeled as "Dutch" because they sailed from the port of Rotterdam.

@@sandman9924 I always thought is was due to the name "Deutschland" - Dutch, Deutsch, similar enough sounding that it was a translation error which just persisted from the past?

Oh what a lovely memories. This Jäger-Poutine sound interesting, thank you. There are so many dishes I haven’t tried yet 😅

Hahahahaha I love it!🤩

Hello:)

Wow - your great grandmother's parents - you really keep traditions for a long time in your family. My grandmother also made noodles - she had special noodle making days where she made tons and then dried them for later. I have not kept that tradition but maybe I will start it up.

Hi Sonjia...I was born in Furth outside of Nuremberg in 1950 and adopted by American military family in 1954...I searched for my bio family all my life until my son gave me a DNA test and we found my bio father's family in Indiana. My father was stationed there in the army and my bio mother was German. I was in an orphanage in Wiesbaden when my American family found me. Sonija, it is my dream to see where I was born before I die. Oh, I also found out I have a brother!

😂

🌹🥀

Thanks. Oh, i know, my list could also go on and on 🤣

@@cooking-the-world Same here !

And that sounds amazing!

Hahahahaha! I love tons of onions too 🤩

Hello:)

🤩 that could be another version of Tartare 🤩

@@cooking-the-world But without the citrus.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Hahahaha! I love those stories 😂😂😂 glad you keep coming back - here in Germany there are always new things to try, even for me. And I am already extremely adventurous 😄

😁😁😁 I've used a regular household hammer and it worked great too. Of course, the meat was wrapped in cling film also.

May this message richly bless you and yours as it has bless me. Many profess believers of Jesus Christ believe that the fourth commandment to keep the Sabbath holy was nailed to the cross and that we no longer have to keep it, while still embracing the other nine commands. Do you believe this too? The Bible says in revelation 22:14, “ Blessed are they that do his commandments that they may have right to the tree of life and may enter in through the gates into the city.” Ask yourself this question: which one or ones of the following Ten Commandments do Jesus wants us to keep and obey? 1. Thou shalt not have no other gods before me. 2. Thou shalt not make or bow down to gpl raven image. 3. Thou shalt not take the name of God in vain. 4. Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy. 5. Honor thy father and thy mother. 6. Thou shalt not kill. 7. Thou shalt not commit adultery. 8. Thou shalt not steal. 9. Thou shalt not bear false witness. 10. Thou shalt not covet. Answer_________________ The Sabbath command is not only to be kept but it is to be calculated by the Time/calendar God ordained in the beginning of creation, Genesis 1:14. The sun, moon and stars are God’s True Time/calendar not that famous Gregorian calendar hanging on our walls in our houses. This split in God’s law must be repaired!! All of God’s laws, statutes, judgments and testimonies are just and true! We must do things God’s way or else we will be worshipping him in vain. There will be no good reward. God may allow the people that rules this world to enforce some type of Sabbath law to test people to see if they will keep His law or no. Already, there are Sabbath laws/blue laws/Sunday laws on government books today. Friday is not the true Sabbath. Saturday is not the true Sabbath. Sunday is not the true Sabbath, etc., because they are calculated by man’s time/calendars. The true Sabbath is calculated by the sun, moon and stars. So, do your research on what you have read in this letter. This information is helpful both now and future because we need to get back to God’s ways and if God should allow man to enforce a “Sabbath Test.” If such a test is allowed, may we choose wisely. Let us seriously repent of our evil ways, stop worshiping other gods, talking about one another, stealing, killing, lying, fornicating, adultery, disobedient to parents, etc., etc., etc. Let us seek God, read our bibles, memorize His commandments and do them, For God’s Kingdom is coming!! Repent! Repent! Repent! Worship Him that made heaven, earth and sea. This Babylonian system is falling, the Powers in charge are aware of this fact but they cannot stop it. Their time is coming to an end! Our time is coming to an end! If any worship the beast and his image and receive his mark, the same shall have no rest day or night and they shall be burnt with fire and brimstone. Revelation 13 and 14. Deuteronomy 5 Isaiah 58:12-14. Also, research the “Seven Noahide Laws.” I have heard that these are Jewish laws taken from their book, “Talmud.” The first law forbids idolatry and according to Jewish writings, to believe in Jesus Christ, God’s Son, is idolatry and is punishable by death, decapitation. I have also heard that some of the USA presidents have signed this law under “Education.” and it is planned to be unleashed on all nations in the future. So, Research and see if these things be truth. May The Father of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you that believe.

Very international Sonia 🥰

Where you stationed in either Spangdahlem or Ramstein? Around1962 my dad took us to an airshow, forgotten witch one of the two mentioned. I was a 6-7yo. Highlight of the day? My very first hotdog in a soft, white bread roll with ketch up😉😊😊 White, soft bread was in those days, at least in my home village near Trier, unknown. To top it all up....half a kilo of ice cream.....each!!!.....in one of those carton boxes, to be eaten with a little wooden spoon. What a delight! In those days most Germans were dirt poor, my parents, like most others, did not even have a fridge...half a kilo ice cream perhaps on special occasions, divided by 5 for the whole family. For a while I loved the Americans, wanted to go there😉😊 But 10 years later, when I was around 18-20, I ""Hated"" the bastards....😊 The USD was worth 4 German marks, when the average wage was around 600 marks. Well, as anywhere in the world....those with the cash get the girls... As the Australians during WW2 used to say: """"Bloody Yanks, Over paid, over sexed and over here"""".🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Cheers from Berlin

@@norbertschmitz3358 I was stationed at Ramstein AB from 79-81, then Bitburg AB from 81-83. The DM was never that strong when I lived there. What I found interesting is that they sold corn on the cob at the annual Flugtag (airshow) at Ramstein. Germans typically don't eat corn, but they would devour the stuff at Flugtag. We had a unit party at Bitburg and we got a whole dressed pig for roasting. We built our own bbq grill and spit and it was amazing.

@@ahill209 Hello and thank you for your reply. You've got my remark as to the value of the German mark versus the US dollar, up side down mixed up. The US $ was worth 4 times the German mark in those days...hence, every GI was a rich man😉😊 As for the German taste of food, you are absolutely correct, corn is not a staple food, it is manly crown for live stock feed, like cattle and pigs. A pig on the spit is a different story, it is a very common thing to do, especially amongst various clubs, or on special occasions just amongst friends. And of course: Washed down with a barrel of """Bitburger Pils'''""....our famous Bier😉😊😊😊 As for me, after having finished my master degree in Geology in Berlin, 1980, I went to Australia to obtain successfully my PhD. Then I worked for some 30 years for a Australian company...BHP.....all over the world. The US I never visited....for personal reasons! Well, here we are, old men, reminiscing about days long gone by. Has been a pleasure, my friend! All the very best to you and all your loved ones, Cheers from Berlin

@@norbertschmitz3358 I didn't get your comment on the Mark backwards. I was just saying that when I was there, the exchange rate was not as favorable against the dollar, so soldiers and airmen paid in dollars could not buy as much with Marks compared to when it was 4 DM = $1 US.

@@norbertschmitz3358 I worked at the US Army Hospital in Landstuhl, Germany , (the hospital on the hill) about 5 miles from AFB Ramstein. I was in charge preparing documents for patients being flown back to military installations to Walter Reed or Brooke Army Hospital in San Antonio, Texas. Ramstein AFB was the Airbase where the flights were leaving to CONUS. I believe the airshows were in Ramstein. It was one of the best jobs I had in Germany very interesting meeting people from all over the US.

Oh, in this case i am glad that you found this video helpful 🙂 in July we are starting new series from Northern Germany and Schwarzwald. I just finished filming over 50 new specialities- so there will be new content to watch!☺️

Thanks! Shame there are no German restaurants around you though..

Yes i love the Potato pancakes so much

Regional cuisine it’s really cool. As soon as the corona time is over I will make sure to travel for food here in Germany to get to know all of it ☺️

That’s very nice mixture of European dishes 🤩 I ate all of them and I agree, they taste wonderful

Thanks I highly appreciate it 🙂 Glad you are enjoying the content

Oh what a lovely memories. Yes, we still eat lard on the bread with apple and onions :)

Thanks Ruth! I am glad that I could bring you those memories of your mother and food she cooked 🤩

Was it the 2nd field hospital in Munich ? I was a lab tech there in 1964 .

😍

What a lovely traditions! I have never had broth made out of turkey.. but if you say it’s richer than I should try it out!

I got the same feeling about this soup. My grandmother made the best, but also my mother. I love good soup and was called "Suppenkasper" by my mom.😆

Oh sounds wonderful Lee! Happy holiday!

Oh, of course! I am glad that you kept some German traditions though :) shrimp and grits looks great - I have never seen this dish before!

Keeping my fingers crossed 🤩

Hello:)

Oh how nice! I am sure he will!:)

Hm, we would need to ask Bavarians if that’s what they see as comfort food:)

@@cooking-the-world - what’s not to like, very comfortable food!

Hahaha 🤣

Thanks Scott!

Yeah that’s a difficult task. Especially with all those different variations. But I am glad it was worth the effort!

🤩

You are welcome. It seems like a memory that you should keep 😉

😍

And thanks for sharing your childhood dishes! Interesting take on the beef roll sauce, I have to admit. I have never seen something like it and now I wonder how those taste!

@@cooking-the-world It was delicious and one of the few recipes my mother taught me to make. Growing up my Mother would use canned button mushrooms. Now I buy fresh mushrooms and it’s even better. Just curious if you are familiar with potato sauce (erdäpfelsoße). Potatoes were cut into 1/2 inch cubes and then a light sauce was made with a little bit of vinegar added and sometimes some sweet paprika. Loved that too growing up.

Oh wow, I have never heard of it!

And there were. Thanks for watching 🤩

Thanks 🤩

Oh for sure. The video is very personal. But I was just thinking today... I should take some of your suggestions from the north and make the second part 🤩
