When I lived in Adelaide back in the mid 90's I lived next door to an elderly german lady (Mrs Stolze). She sort of adopted me as a grandson, actually I referred to myself as her "schwarzer enkel" (black grandson), which we both thought was funny (For context, I have darker skin due having a maori mum and an italian dad, often am mistaken for being aboriginal). I used to do odd jobs for her, I never wanted money for it (happy to help her out), instead she would make me what she called "Hutzelbrut", it was basically a fruit and nut loaf, it's magic. Also she'd always give me jars of sauerkraut (which I love). Her son who lived a couple of suburbs over (Plympton from memory, I was in Glenelg) used to make his own kirsch, wasn't much of a fan but my girlfriend at the time loved it. On the day I was due to leave Adelaide and move back to perth (after a messy breakup), Mrs Stolze gave me a goodbye hamper she put together with all sorts of german stuff (including Hutzelbrut), very sweet gesture. I'm heading to Adelaide later this year, I spoke with her son a couple of months ago, Mrs Stolze is still alive and has invited my wife and I to her 100th birthday, be good to see them again, last saw them in 2014. According to her son she still lives in the same house and still makes sauerkraut and Hutzelbrut. It's magic food

I remember watching this on TV with my mother years back. I'm glad I found this now. This show was amazing❤

The end with Maeve eating that magnificent blackforest cake will stay with me forever, she was transported to food heaven!

Germans are really fond of whole foods and big portions! :D

Best “authentic german food“ film i have seen. Really looks authentic. And gives the right perspective on it. Except the Sauerkraut stereotype. It is not really that popular in germany (anymore). It was a poor peoples dish in winter.

I have made the pork knuckle as shown in this episode.......AMAZING!!!!!

I am in love with this show

I live in south of Germany and they have something called Besenwirtschaft here. Which basically means broomstick inn. They have plenty of vineyards in this area and usually the wineries open their doors for small spans of times during a month. Hands down the best food ever. Nice wine, home cooked food - käsespätzle ,maultaschen,Schlachteplatte not to mention zwiebelrostbraten. Also superb company. Everyone’s very friendly and talkative after a couple of wines.

"it's like a pie without sauce" - misheard "pie" as "pile" 🤣

I love German beer and I also really like the Black Forest Cake. German food has some really great things :)

Maeve i saw all episodes in tv...but i love your presence and voice so much and offcourse the your reaserch...thats why i saw these episodes here also...

3:10 and this is NOT the traditional cake!!!!! in a traditional cake there is no chocolatecream, there is whipping cream with cherryalcohol!

nun hab ich Hunger

Kein Wunder das wir ganz vorne mit dabei sind😎

Oh, mustard from Kühne is nowadays considered hot; what a joke. I guess he's getting a bit sponsored here or he slightly lost his touch. Take a mixture of Löwensenf extrascharf and ABB from Düsseldorf. That's the best of hotnes and flavor combined; for mustard that is. If some sweetnes is required, add some bavarian mustard , through. 😉

Oh man I want to try some of that cake 🎂

I need the pork knuckle at 4:00

Good

very epice ngl

I didn’t know Albert Einstein can cook 🤔

German Cuisine in the Germanophone World

5:12 I'm german and unfortunately i have to say, there's quite too much of all in this dish! Come on! A pork knuckle with sauerkraut and red cabbage and spätzle and potato dumpling and appelsauce. Really?! :D Okay. Maybe this guy just tried to present various types of german food on one plate, but imho it's like an italian cook, who puts noodels and gnocci and tiramisu on a pizza margherita topped with a bolognese sauce! And by the way, pork knuckles, spätzle, sauerkraut, red cabbage and dumplings are not very common in the northern part of germany, which has its own unique dishes. Quote: "There's no pork knuckle with no applesauce!" What the hell is he talking about? Lol! I've made a google search for the german translation of pork knuckle with applesauce ("Schweinshaxe mit Apfelmus") and got only two (!) hits! ;) In the following part of the doku, there's not really much to complain about and i enjoyed watching. :)

I am from the Black Forest and that's not a Black Forest cake! Shame on Chef Martin for baking such a Abscheulichkeit!

why are Germans so fond of carrots ?

Man is the Best Creation of God,one who has love, kindness and tolerance ..god has given all these. Am very much sad that man has forgotten his humanity 😢 how can you eat whose blood and Flesh on your dinning table????how how???by killing 😢😢 Someone 😭😭😭. please God Please 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻help that voiceless Animal.why was there so much Suffering in the World that has been caused by Human. Am crying after seeing All this 😢😢😢

I have to be honest, I cannot say I enjoy German meals; all that PORK🤢!!! That beef dish looks fabulous, however!!! But when those folks make desserts...🤗🤗🤗LORDDDDD!!! Now we’re hitting it: DESSERT TIME!!!

German food is maybe the absolute worst cuisine in the world, especially given how wealthy and favorable a climate they have, their culture just doesn't place an emphasis on its cuisine
