Watch us drive the German Autobahn for the first time! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f9Wml9Zel7SnnIU.html

The legend goes that there was this guy in Cologne who could not afford a real rooster (Halve Hahn). But everyday he went to the Brauhaus and ordered one in a loud tone to impress his friends. He told the innkeeper secretly to serve him bread, butter and cheese instead so that he could pay the bill. Since then this is a staple dish in Cologne - at least this i s what I have heard.

Finally people who show REAL German food. I'm German and a vegetarian. So these are not my favorites. But you did your reasearch so so well! Good job, guys!

Zoos in Germany are usually very roomy. They try their best to make the habitats as perfect as possible for the animals, and they also do a lot of work to keep threatened species alive. I am totally with people who don't want animals cooped up somewhere just so that humans can stare at them, but a well-managed zoo is something different, they fulfil an important function. The German Zoos even manage to breed animals which usually don't breed in captivity at all unless they feel very, very safe.

Hooray! Americans for a change, no currywurst, sausage, schnitzel with fries and pretzels eat. None who make the 100? KZfaq movie about the supposedly "typical German" food. Thank you for taking the trouble to go to a real restaurant/eatery and order real food. THANK YOU!

Cologne is such an awesome place that deserves more attention from tourists, I went there last year and it was epic :)

Did you know that it takes both potatoes and apples to make a "Himmel und Erde"? In french, the potatoe is called "La Pomme de Terre", which translates into "Apple of Earth". So it's two kinds of apples - one which grows underground and one which grows up in the sky. :) ("Himmel" kann mean both "heaven" and "sky")

"Kölsch tastes similar to Pils"...What? Where? When? XD

Just finished eating this recipe but with Bockwurst instead of blood pudding. Fabulous. How can it be that it takes two young Americans to tell an aged Englishman about this gorgeous dish. Thank you both so much and congratulations on your tales of gastronomic adventure.

Glad you guys had a great time in Germany! I loved how much of the countryside you guys got to see! Can't wait to see where your adventures take you next!

As someone who lived in Cologne his whole life, where is that animal park? I don't know it and I'd like to go. You are very adventurous with the food! Himmel un Ääd isn't for everyboday, Flönz (Blutwurst, black pudding) much less. There are two things I'd recommend: 1. Mettbrötchen (raw minced pok on a roll) 2. Rievkooche (Reibekuchen, potato pancakes). AS for the Brauhäuser: Reissdorf is a pretty good and very popular brand of Kölsch. But a few blocks from the Sion Brauhaus there is one that serves Päffgen, which is quite special because you cannot buy it bottled, only in selected Brauhäusern. It's funny to me because I don't think about Cologne as a culinary Mekka. There are places in Germany with much better regional food (mostly to the south). But it's really flattering to me that you liked our local food. Thanks.

Nice! I think you covered Cologne quite well foodwise. I would suggest you try "Reibekuchen" or "Rievkooche" like the Cologne people would say on your next visit. Lot's of love! 😋

I was here last year. Loved every minute. Didn't see one person with a bad attitude!

Lol...i love you guys🤗💖 😂🤣😂the car flashback 😂 thank you for making the world a little more smaller and inclusive for all of us that don't get to travel 🤗 its fun to be able to go around Europe with you guys😊 i love it💖

Greetings from near Cologne. In Cologne are many breweries, the best ones are Früh, Sion, Reissdorf, Gaffel, Sünners and Mühlen all of them have Restaurants or pubs (You will find them in a circle of 2km around the Kölner Dom). As special tip you can go to the Biermuseum (also has a bar/pub at the end). At the airport you can go to the Ständige Vertretung, first as a joke/not seriously idea because of the movement of the goverment from Bonn to Berlin, this became a really big and good company with many locations all over Germany. In Cologne you have to try as you did Himmel un Äd, Sauerbraten (doesn't matter which version if horse or cow), Halver Hahn (especialy with sweet mustard or pepper), than Rievkooche or the bigger version of it if you're really hungry called Döppekooche, also Flönz, the raw version of what you called black pudding and than there is one of my favorits "Decke Bunne met Saus un Speck" (not everyone likes it because of the green beans), as desert especially around christmas and carnival you should try Muuzemändelcher. To drink there is only one thing in Cologne and thats Kölsch, some tips about that if you never visited Cologne before, it's typical that your glass will be refulled or changed without asking, if it is empty, unless you put the beermat on top. Be carefull the beermat is "holy" and handled as a importand document, so don't lose, destroy or try to change them, because you have to pay what's on your beermat. (This also counts for other pubs in germany, if you get a beermat and the waitress makes lines or numbers on it, it is handeld as a bill) As special variation of Kölsch you can ad Flimm (a Waldmeisterliquor[don't know how to translate it, in latine is called "Galium odoratum"]), if you want harder stuff there is Kabänes (herbal liquor like Jägermeister). As last tip if you like chocolate there is no way of not visiting the Schokoladenmuseum.

Oh wow. I shouldn't have watched this when I'm hungry!

Thank you for the great video. I'm living in Cologne and your definitely right about everything. It's a great city and a beautiful one too. Also you're right about the Brauhaus they the best German food, so when you're in cologne go to one of those. Especially the ones called "Früh" and "Johann schäfer". Thank you

The food portion was so yummy and the rest of the vlog excellent you guys represent all your adventures very well

Great video guys. Give me all the onions, I them in all shapes and forms ! Love your open mindedness sampling all kinds of food/ broadening your experiences 👍 good job guys 👍🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸

Yet another enjoyable video. Greetings from Yorkshire, England :)

Those are very typical dishes from Cologne, thanks for sharing!:)

An awesome video,Thanks a lot.

6:54 Very subtle.. Alison walks by the sign.. love it!

Thank you, you are one of the very few who actually tasted german food

You should come back in January or February. Visit the North of Germany and try some Grünkohl. Believe me. It's the best! 🍵

Thanks for taking me around the world........ You two are living my dream...... Hope someday i will roam around the world like you... Best of luck...... Goodwork❤️

You two are doing so well ! Great one👍🏼😃

Thanks, really helpful, we'll be in Cologne soon so I was wondering where to go and what to eat. Thanks a lot, will def try your places (the zooo! ❤️), the church and that old bar that has delicious food ❤️

Great video! looked so yum :-) My favorite thing from that region to eat would be Reibekuchen with applesauce. It's sort of a potato fritter. Explore the black forest, when you are coming back! Karlsruhe is super beautiful :-)

So pleased with your food choices. I used to live in Germany and always loved Eisbein and Sauerbraten. - dumplings too!!!

Thank you for this vlog. I & my family will be going to Cologne Germany soon for living. We will try those food you ate and of course the beer... I follow you now.

That animal park is one of my most cherished childhood memories.

Great to see you've enjoyed your time here! A tip for you and others: If you wanna try authentic german food (like Eisbein, Stews and others) you can often find it at many butcher shops. They often at lunch time sell prepared dishes for way less than you may find it in those restaurants. It's authentic and tasty. So you may get that "Eisbein" or also "Sauerbraten" for maybe half the price. Presentation isn't always restaurant quality there but the taste often is even better. These fancy restaurants and places often use their standing for attracting tourists and are above average cost for certain dishes. Just a heads up there 😉

Excited to see you guys back in Blighty! Weather still not too shabby down South but here up North, brrrhhh xx

yummy guys!! ty for sharing!

Awesome video! I CAN'T wait to visit Germany ❤❤❤❤❤

Yeeeey your coming back to England!! Love your video's over here!

You two are so fit given the amount of delicious food you have been eating.

Really enjoyed this adventure, I was there in Koln many years ago to visit my grandmother. I have family members spread out within an hour of Koln. Leichlingen, Wuppertal, Solingen, Remscheid. I remember being able to open the windows on the train and also the trains being on time. Of course being 13 at the time the big memory was a drinking beer in or at public places at meals with my dad and uncles. At the time it was allowed as long as I was with my dad. Now days? The Koln cathedral at the time "1974" still had signs of being hit during WWII. And the autobahn what a ride, yeeha! Lol Travel Safe. Enjoy watching your channel.

I’ve been binging Endless Adventure and I cannot wait to travel!!!! Hope you guys are doing well!

Everything looked so good!

The Cologne Dom has the shrine of the Three Wisemen in it. Even if you are not religious it's a beautiful piece of art.

i can't travel i have a terminal illness. so watching posts like yalls makes me 'woop woop'

Looks great looking food guys. Like the frequency of the posts lately.

I cant wait for your next vlogs! Not that I don't enjoy all of them!! But I'm going to England/Scotland in March and will be watching with great interest!!

I am always so nervous to try different food but this looked absolutely delicious! I need to get my more adventurous side out more often

Greetings from Cologne, nice video. Makes me wanna visit some Brauhäuser again 🍗🍻🍺

Kölsch is milderten Pilsener. It s a top yesterday brew and as such served in dismal glasses. I like it a lot! Pils too! And Bavarian brown! ...

Thanks to your recommendation we are heading to the Brauhaus Sion as we speak for some lunch! From Bristol (another one of your visited Cities) to Cologne!

Hi from Cologne, it is always fun to see people try our food. Hope you will come back and try Reibekuchen...

We really enjoyed this foodie extraordinaire experience. In a little way the foods reminds me of the years I lived in Denmark, with similar salty verses sweet combinations. You two are natural foodies more like Mark Wiens and Mike Chan. A perfect combination with world traveling :) Blessings, James & Kim

Welcome back to the UK, loving your adventure around the world.

I live like 50 km south from cologne and I really love everything about this city ❤ i feel happy you liked your trip and the food but also quite sad because it's corona time and I can't go there now

Fun fact about the Cologne dome, as the two of you have stated already it is constantly under construction and in fact it is so big, that they started building it from the front end and the back and meeting in the middle with a super slight discrepancy, but to my fun fact, in local lore the people say on the day the dome finishes the world will end. "An dem Tag an dem der Dom fertig wird, geht die ganze Welt unter." Making fun of themselves because it is a never ending construction process. Because for centuries it hasn't been finished and when they start in the front and work their way all back to the end of this huge building they have to go to the front again to start over. As most great domes of gothic style it is made from sand stone which is hurt harshly by the sour rain of our time and the oxidation in the wet air and all the pollution in the air and have regularly to be replaced. You can see it at the Magdeburg Cathedral or the Dresden Womens Church as well as with a lot of others.

I'm currently in Thailand for a longer vacation, which is great, but thanks to you I start to feel homesick. Definitely have to go eat out when I come home ;)

you made a good choice! Sauerbraten would have been my favorite.

German foods looks incredible!

Your channel is rapidly becoming by favourite food/travel channel. There's massive scope to increase your subscriber numbers. Good to hear that you're heading back to my country (UK) and looking forward to seeing where you choose to visit here.

I love your videos

Hi guys. "The Eisbein" is cured pork knuckle, not pickled ham. A very old method of preserving meat. The "Sauerbraten" is marinated beef roast (marinating for 4-5 days in a mixture of water, vinegar and spices) and slowly roasted for 3-4 hours in the marinade. This was also an old method to preserve beef. Greetings from Germany

now you are in my neck of the woods. You should try the semmel knödel. They are made like stuffing back home and sometimes they put bacon in it too. You made my mouth water but the sauce on the sauerbraten shouldn't be salty, savory yes but not salty. My guess is that they used thickener in the gravy which can make it salty or a concentrated braten sauce.

When in uk try to get to Norwich and north Norfolk coast. Beautiful part often overlooked.

Love your Video from my Home Country! Thumbs up 👍🏻 Next Time we meet us in Germany and I show you some more good POIs ;-) Thanks for this Video and i follow you now 😉👍🏻

I really enjoyed my stay in Koln. We had dinner at Weinhaus Vogel on the Eigelsteinstrasse. Fantastic bacon pancakes! Now excuse me while I mop up this drool from my keyboard.

Now i am hungry...^^. Nice videos, thank you..:-)

The food looks amazing

My home town :) always came to the park (Stadtwald) as a child!!

"They serve it in 200 Centiliter glasses" - dude, you mean ml not cl ;) if this was 200cl, you'd have a 2l glas :D

Congratulations to all your German videos! They were wunderbar...:-)

Having experienced Scheweinehaxe in München I admire your fortitude.

Now that is real (old) good German food when I lived there (Augsburg)

You have to try Mettbrötchen. This is minced raw pork on bread with onions. You get this nearly everywhere. You dont need to be afraid to eat this. The meat is always fresh and the quality rules are really strict.

Glad to hear you guys are coming back to the UK. You are welcome to come to Sheffield anytime. There are some great places to explore. There’s a local brewery. Some amazing food, especially pies and other treats. Also near Peak District and there’s a lovely place called stoney Middleton nearby where the village is carved into the rocks and you can go into a cave. I would be more than happy to show you around, and can get you a super cheap place to stay. A lot of people don’t know much about Sheffield but it is 4th biggest city in England! Feel free to get in touch guys. Safe travels

Very nice footage. Hope you enjoyed your stay. Auf Wiedersehen. 🍺🍺🍺

❤️❤️❤️. Koln (Cologne). Very neat, walking friendly city with lots of platzs that is open and well utilized and yummy food and kolsh around town. Sauerbraten is yummy. Central train station by cathedral has lots of quick bites and easy access to all over Germany and Europe via the Bahn (high speed rail). That is super clean and efficient.

As soon as you bent over to kiss the bonnet of than can I screamed at the screen "no don't do it" my good god man lol the bugs... Love the "Blog" lol keep them coming.

That Eisben and Sauerbraten OMG !!!! I can just imagine how they would taste. Beautiful looking food and German meal portion tend to be so huge ! (which I don't mind of course).

The slo-mo footage of you guys saying goodbye to the car was hilarious! Good inclusion! Made me laugh!

Just WOW!

"Halve Hahn" is essentially derived from lower german and goes back to following: A peasant orders half a roll with cheese. What he gets is a whole roll of bread with extra cheese. Getting this he states: "Warum ne janze? Ick wollt doch nur ne halve hahn!" - which translates to "Why a whole - I only wanted a half one!" however, in lower german, "Hahn" can mean "rooster" or "have" equally.

You are welcome to Germany! I LOVE 'Sauerbraten'! 😊

I can really recommend the Päffgen Brauhaus next to the Frisenplatz. Thats a very speciall Kölsch since it is not sold in Bottles. But tastes super Good

Mmmmm.Can't wait for our local Oktoberfest and all the German food stalls.

it's really a pity you didn't visit Cologne Cathedral. I'm not a huge fan of Cologne as a city but the cathedral is very exceptional. It's considered to be one of the most impressive churches in the world and with remains of the Three Wise Men (at least that's what religious people believe) it's always been a huge pilgrimage place in the catholic world for centuries hence the incredible fortune of the diocese of Cologne.

If your in the west country area (South West) make sure you hit Lacock. So many period movies are filmed there. It's an amazing village/town. So worth visiting

definetly a good choice of food, i am starving for sauerbraten right now

looks like a grand time...so festive...and the church took 600 years to build...how do generations of craftsmen and masons keep a vision alive over all that time??? Amazing!

On the Eisbein, which is called "hämmchen" in Cologne, one MUST eat it with mustard !!

Cool video! 😆🤘👊🍻🍺

It is pretty funny to watch those videos as a German! :) especially when you try to pronounce some of the german words. And the food you too have been eating looks very nice! I haven't even tried some of that food myself :D

and the cologne cathedral's construction started in around 800 - just to be "declared" finished in 1880. This means it's one of the most long-lasting work sites on earth

You should have gone up the Cathedral because the View in good weather is amazing 😊

I would love to travel and eat all the different foods !

I love Cologne, it's such a lovely, beautiful city and I get to go there every weekend because my bf is originally from there. Also, Kölsch is better than normal beer :)

For the Sauerbraten: Its usually a peace of meat you have to braise for hours. Last time i made it, i made it with a whole Tri-Tip. The marinade is most of the time red wine based (german wine of course) and then some spices and mirepoix are added to the marinade and the beef sits in the marinade for a minimum of 24 hours, but could be up to a week. Then you strain the meat from the brine, roast and seal it on each side, take out the meat, fry some vegetables in the fond like carrots, sellery, leeks and so on, add the meat back in, cover it with the marinade and let it simmer for the next few hours... Or, if your lazy like me, stick it in the oven and let it bubble away. After a few hours, the meat should me forktender and nearly fall apart. Take out the meat, strain the sauce from the aromatics (they´ve done their job), make a rough from flour and butter and then put in the strained sauce. Season with Salt, Pepper, in some regions some raisins, but try to not oversweet the sauce. It should have at least a decent tang to it. As reccomendations go: If your ever back in Germany again, visit Mainz. Its the capital of Rhineland Pfalz and sits on top of Germanys best wine Region, Rheinhessen. There you will find local food and some of the best wines through out Germany and Europe. And the scenery is beautiful as well ^^

hey guys when you go to England you need to go to blackpool, theres a fairground, beach, blackpool tower which is full of allsorts but you have to pay in the tower. but theres food, drink anything you need. just a suggestion. love your videos keep em coming

I am new to this channel, but have visited Germany multiple times and there is nothing better than a good piece of schnitzel. If you get the chance you should visit Kassel. It has one of the most beautiful parks you will ever see. Safe travels!

Great video! Have you tried coffee with butter, mainly grass fed. That's what the cold brew seemed to have in it because now I don't have to use cream or creamer in my coffee. Also, sure learned alot about Germany, my ancesters country!

Looks delicious! Meat cooked with the bone in is always sweeter and more tender.
