80 million Germans cannot be wrong........🤣 🐖🐖🐖 but next time better use pepper and salt!

So weit ist es also gekommen. - Ein Deutscher guckt einem Amerikaner zu, wie er ein Mettbrötchen isst.

You know that you have the right amount of onions on your mett, when the person sitting next to you at the table gets a bad breath.

Just passed midnight while watching this .... Wo zur Hölle bekomme ich jetzt ein Mettbrötchen her?

5:00 Gurken und Butter kannst du weglassen aber Pfeffer und Salz hast du vergessen, das gehört unbedingt dazu.

My favourite line: " There's the Zettel" :-D

Wie jetzt einfach JEDER Deutsche nach Mettbrötchen in den Kommentaren schreit! Geil! Mett 4 worldpeace!

This Mettbrötchen is way underzwiebelt! (=needs more onion)

Mett is a staple food for the workers, we call it "Maurermarmelade" which translates to "mason's jam".

Congratulations!!! We (Gemans) are so proud of you :-) Now I want a Mettbrötchen.......

Hahaha, morgens beim Metzger:1 Kilo Mett und 20 Brötchen bitte und dann haben wir auf dem Bau geackert wie bekloppt. 😂👍

That’s how to eat Mettbrötchen. The only thing I would miss, is a little bit salt.

have eaten Mett for decades. Germany has very high hygiene standards in its meat . So I eat raw pork here with no worries. Something I would NEVER do any where else.

When you eat it - take it directly from the butcher. And eat it at the same day.

2:59 There is the Zettel. Thank for making me laugh! :D

As a German ex-pat in the UK proper bread & Mett is what I miss the most...

Fun fact: Germans are also taught the same: Never eat raw pork or chicken. But for some reason we have Mett :)

If there is something holy in germany than it is beer and Mettbrötchen. If somebody celebrates his birthday in a company we will always have a "Mettigel" (exactly translation is Mett Hedgehog). This is an unspoken rule you will never forget

For everyone outside of germany currently seeing this: Freshness and food hygiene is key. Also, it has to be very lean meat and it's got to be ground very fine and seasoned with a bit of salt. After that, you can always add pepper, salt, garlic, chilli, paprika powder, whatever you want - and of course a truckload of onions.

Everytime Americans make a big thing out of eating Mett, its so funny to me (as a German)... xD

In Saxony, Mett is called "Hackepeter"

There is one rule I learnt when I was a kid! You have enough onion on your Mettbrötchen when the next town to you are able to smell the onions on your Brötchen!

We do have more expressions for that: Mettigel, deutsches Sushi, Männermarmelade or Crystal Mett (because you become addicted) I'd like to have one right now. I'm so jealous.

There are a lot of rules for handling minced meat or Mett. One of them is the need to eat or cook minced meat very quickly after it got minced. Usually as a rule of thumb in less than 24h.

I'm from Germany and I love Mett. I was actually very impressed by you just going for it. I see a lot of people from different countrys try it but they are always very hesitant and mostly only try a tiny bit of it. I'm glad you liked it. My way of eating it is with butter, salt, pepper and onions on a brötchen. Have a great day!

I guess you have German roots 😀 Amazing how open you are to our specialities and culture. Love your videos. I also love the US and it‘s nice to see you connect both countries 👍

Bauarbeiter-Marmelade = Construction worker jam ;-)

For a proper Mettbrötchen there is a strict "1/3-Rule". One-third Brötchen, one-third Mett and one-third Onions. ;)

Im Dutch living just 1 km from the German border. I love mett. Its actually the first thing i ate after giving birth and was allowed raw meat again. In the Netherlands we also eat filet american a lot, also a raw meat spread. I dont get the fear of raw meat. If its fresh and clean its safe.

Raw fish= sushi: okay Raw cookies= cookie dough: okay Raw pork= mett: why should that be also okay The problem is the hygiene in america

German=Mettbrötchen YES German=Brezel NO i am from region around Berlin. i grow up with mett(Hackepeter) and i love it. i make Bouletten and i nibble the Hackfleisch (Mett(Hackepeter).i make other things with Hackfleisch and i can't stop myself and nibble the Hackfleisch. i LOVE it. respect: you have tried it and for that you have my respect. it should give more people like you with the motto: first try and then judge.

I looooooove Mettbrötchen...at work, our team eat it every Wednesday.....Mittwoch...we call it Mettwoch :-D ....glad that you enjoyed it!

In Nordrhein-Westfalen where i live i only know raw (Pork) Mett with fresh Salt and dried White Pepper on top of it plus fresh Onions. Ist a common German Breakfast

God smiled the day yet another heretic was converted to the cult of Mett The way you season it is based on what Mett you get. Some Butchers season their Mett stronger, somer lighter. Salt and pepper are always a good idea, as well as onions and butter for the Brötchen. I personally like a little grained garlic as well, but thats personal taste. However just experiment with it, you can throw most stuff on it and it will go well.

Oh man, mir läuft das Wasser im Mund zusammen wenn ich dein Mettbrötchen sehe und den schönen knuspernden Sound, den es beim Abbeißen macht. Morgen muss ich mal wieder zum Fleischer!

Our local butcher makes some really great Mett/Hackepeter. In addition to salt, pepper and onions, they mix green peppercorn into it. Absolutely delicious. (Though the amount of onions is a bit low for my taste, I generally can't be bothered to add more)

In Italy or in Italian restaurants all over the world you get Carpaccio. Raw beef, not even minced just cut in thin slices and it's delicious. Japanese and many other cultures eat raw fish... It's just a cultural thing and it can be fun to be open to other cultures 👍

I saw already other youtubers reacting to "Mett-Brötchen" and they all were afraid to try it! But the reactions are all the same: "Omg, this is delicious!". Well, as this is a German product, be sure it's safe to eat :-) My fav. version is with salt, pepper and a some onion-rings on a roll, but it works on bread as well (I prefer "Graubrot", because Toastbrot is kind of sweet)... Greetings from Bavaria, Germany.

Eating Meetbrötchen is one of my best childhood memories. In the 80th every Saturday evening my parents and I came together to eat Meetbrötchen as dinner. At this time the working week was over. Both my parents worked. Before eating everyone took a bath or a shower, what happens only once a week. For Meetbrötchen I was allowed to drink one class of Coca Cola, what was a luxury product for us. After dinner we were watching one of those big saturday evening shows like "Wetten dass?!" I am from lower saxony, but we eat the Meetbrötchen exactly like you did in Baden-Württemberg. Eat the meet only fresh from the butcher shop. Don't keep it a day in the Fridge. Best regards Manuel

You have the pefect finger-thickness for Mett-Brötchen^^

In my company we had once in a month "Metting" = "meeting with Mett".

When I still worked at the German post office, I had to buy "Mett" every morning for my postal inspector. He needed raw meat to work at all. I also love it best with onions and salt and pepper. And please never cucumbers.

Mettbrötchen mit Salz, Pfeffer und Zwiebeln. Es gibt nichts besseres! 🖖😊 Bleibt gesund!

Mett on rolls with salt, pepper and onions. This is the standard composition. A good butcher has already seasoned the Mett itself a bit, then it tastes even better. One of my favourite meals, for the quick hunger between through, in the morning or in the evening.

ABSOLUTELY nobody: Subtitles: „it‘s actually like a really good beef doctor“

Have a go! A dish from northern Germany Formerly a "ArmeLeuteEssenl"......"Brathering mit Pellkartoffeln" (Fried Herring with Peel potato) The qualities of fried herring are unfortunately very different. The first time you try a variety where the fish is "burnt" and the vinegar/spice brine tastes awful, you will never eat it again.

You are the bravest Amercican I have ever seen on youtube or anywhere else! There are so many American mems on Rotkohl, Sauerbraten, Knödel, bread, etc., but this is a real German worker's breakfast. Your comments on the pepper & butter are spot on. I had a good laugh just watching you.

Man you are really openminded I appreciate that.

*_In Germany, we all germans together eat X tons of mett a year. Onions, pepper and a little salt should never be missing!_*

Congrats for trying! Mett is just way jummy! A little salt and pepper and mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm! And to your american Family and Friends, don´t try it with pork filet from your grocery store! That meat is usually already dead for a few days. So get it from your local butcher. Here in Germany we have strict rules on how to make the Mett that helps keeping it safe!

I am Jewish and I do not keep kosher. In 1989, I visited Munich for the Oktoberfest and I had a wonderful time. In 2018, on a safari trip in Zimbabwe, I ate a delicious filet of warthog. Because of how I do not keep kosher, wild boar meat, bacon, ham, BBQ pork spare ribs, and roast pork knuckle are among my favorite foods. But, there is no way I am ever going to eat raw pork because of trichinosis!

This is a great addition in my must-eat bucket list.

In my company, we have actually a "Metttag". Every Thursday, we can buy Mettbrötchen at the company's restaurant

In my opinion life without Mettbrötchen is possible, but senseless. :-)

Very good to hear that the Butcher give you the right advice. So be happy with a new dish lol

Some additional German food ideas, my all time Top 3 favorites: 1) Rinderroulade with Kloesse and red cabbage (best to eat in a good restaurant, takes some hours to make it yourself). 2) Soljanka soup (typical east German dish, best to eat in Berlin at Konnopke Imbiss) 3) Currywurst Spezial (sliced up sausage with curry powder, fries, ketchup, mayo (rot-weiss) onions, best to eat in the west of Germany, almost great everywhere "im Pott" (NRW).

I 'import' the Mett from Hesse to Freiburg. The Mett from the butcher in my aunts village has a much better seasoning than any of the stuff you can buy here. Anyway, be careful! Mett is addictive (says someone who has 2kg Mett in the freezer).

How dare you! I am sitting here in times of shut down salivating like a hungry wolf... 😎😀👍👍

Since I am working in Nigeria, THIS is one of the things i miss most (besides my fam/friends). U should have added a pinch of salt / pepper and this is the most awesome snack.

Finally an "old" relaxed American who loves German food.

There are just 2 rules about Mett: 1) Alway keep it cool! 2) Eat within 24 hours! I prefer it with Brötchen ("Schrippe" cuz I'm from Berlin ^^), Butter, Onions, Pepper & Salt. ;)

Usually the butcher mixes in some salt and pepper. You will find out different butchers make different mett. The only thing is: eat it allways fresh on the day of purchase and never buy the industrial stuff. If you have some left over make meatballs. Mix in some onions and fry them.

I just love your openmindedness. After watching you I could eat a Mettbrötchen as well.

I dont know if i do it wrong but i dont use butter with Mett, Mett istelf is very "fatty" you know. -> Mett is a preparation of minced raw pork that is popular in Germany and Poland; a similar preparation is made from beef. It is normally served with salt and black pepper, and sometimes with garlic, caraway or chopped onion, and eaten raw, usually on a bread roll. At a buffet it is sometimes served as a Mettigel (mett hedgehog). It is also sold in the form of mettwurst, a spicy, raw sausage, often smoked. In Germany, laws require that no more than 35% of the mett be constituted by fat.

Mettbrötchen... better than anything! :) You should also try 'Kölsche Kaviar' or a 'Halve Hahn' in Cologne... you'll love it!

When I was a little boy, my parents still slaughtered pigs at home and I still remember how I stirred pork blood for hours so that it didn't coagulate: That came in the legendary red Hungarian paprika. Presssack..a unique delicacy .....

it was really very funny watching you scared to death having the first bite....and the the uprising smile on your face....GREAT!!!

Glad you like it, next time try it with a bit of salt AND pepper. It makes such a difference! And also in my region we call Mett "Schweinemarmelade"... so "pig jam" haha! I'm always a little discusted by this term.

petition: every german gets one Mettbrötchen per day by the government sign up here

Hope your okay during this hard Times stay healthy

As someone who likes pork meat so much you should definitly eat kale with sausages, smoked pork chop, potatos and mustard in the Winter. Guten deutschen Grünkohl mit Mettenden, Pinkel, Kassler, Speck, Kartoffeln und Senf. There are of course many more regional recipes with meat to discover.

Etwas, was es nur im Süden, besonders in Baden Württemberg gibt, ist Ochsenmaulsalat. Du bekommst Ochsenmaulsalat in guten Metzgereien, manchmal auch in schwäbischen Restaurants. Dazu isst man Bratkartoffeln und ggf. auch ne saure Gurke. Wohl bekomm's

i also love me some raw pork (Salt,Black Pepper,Onions) but i would definitely NOT sgguest raw chicken :D

People in US don‘t eat this??? 😄. Ok....more for me! Greetings from Germany 👍

Mettbrötchen = the so called "German Sushi" ist totally delicious. Yes, bun, a little bit of butter ( some make it without ), fresh slices of onions, salt an pepper an it is a dream. But only fresh at the buchters. Sometimes the packed "Zwiebelmettwurst" could be kind of tasty, but mostly it lackes taste and consistency. And a dream from the past... alsmost every party during the 70th or 80th at home or in the garden had it, a "Mettigel" = "Mett-Hedgehog" For trying some special German things? "Blut & Leberwurst" or called "Wellwurst" ( but not "Tote Oma", thats really jikes ), Grühnkohl/Braunkohl ( when the winter comes ) and as dessert: Kalter Hund!

i love that fact, that mettbroetchen have become a bit of an internet phenomenon! IMHO, ideally the mett should be ice cold, like 2-3°C, (it's to be kept below 4°C anyways), and with a lot of coarsely chopped sweet/mild onions, because the crunch and juicyness really add to the texture. for the same reason, crunchy danish style roast onions (available at almost any supermarket here) are a wonderfull topping to try, if you wanna get a little kinky.

Boy you made me hungry...

deutsches sushi :) for a less strange food in a future video id suggest a franconian Schäufele mit Kloß

Oh man, I am in China (quarantined) and stumbled over your video. You are driving me nuts! I have to sit here watching you eating MET

You just inspired a German guy to get himself some Mettbrötchen. Thank you

Next level: use raw eggs as a dip!

Its not the same without salt and pepper.

Salivating just a little bit here in Florida. This was the classic "Pausenbrötchen" at my school that you could buy for 1 DM or so during the long recess at about 10 am, which would keep you going until lunch.

this is my absolute favorite Food . I eat Mettbrötchen since i was a kid and I still love it :-)

The question is: Are you in Baden or Württemberg?

Mett is fat and delicious. Salt and Pepper is needfull. Greetings from Finnland, Peter.

Seriously, seeing you try Mett for the first time is really cute.

I my area they don't make it just for a specific customer. They made it fresh of course but so much people buy it that they just have it. You can get different variations, Schinkenmett which is made from the ham of a pig, Zwiebelmett with is with onions, Jäger or Kräuermett which is with a mixture of herbs and spices. For tartar, you have to ask. They will made this fresh because beef it is not so often bought for raw eating like pork.

In Mett we trust !!!🙏

Congrats...that was your succesful first step to be "germanized"...next step has to be "Weisswurst"....

A good Mettbrötchen can make your whole day! I love it!

Some call Mett: „Maurer-Marmelade“ what means „Bricklayer-Marmelade“. I love it as well.

Mrs Dailey carinn Stephanie is legit and her method works like magic I keep on earning every single week with her new strategy

'Warum stellt er sich sooo ängstlich an, es schmeckt doch super?'...ich würde mir bei den ganzen insekten, die woanders gegessen werden vor angst in die hosen machen! Respekt dem neuen 'mett-brötchen-freund' 👍

Interesting video, I love your reaction! :)

Freshly chopped parsely makes it even better. A Westfale is speaking. 😊Other than that, you do it right. You can also eat it with mustard. Good hangover food. 😀

There is the Zettel 🥰🤣

Butter is fat, fat brings flavour. Plus, it makes everything on bread rolls more easy to chew. Sometimes my parents, my sister and I would come together to watch TV, have Tartar and watch something together. That was before the year 2000... Oh well... Childhood memories... Thanks for sharing the video. :)

I am german and I eat it the same way like you 👍🏻 One finger thick with onions and butter 👍🏻 Very delicious

Best Mett can be obtained from a little German town called Altschauerberg, near Nurnberg.
