ABOUT ME: Hallo, Servus, and welcome to my channel! My name is Felicia (Feli), I'm 28, and I'm a German living in the USA! I was born and raised in Munich, Germany but have been living in Cincinnati, Ohio off and on since 2016. I first came here for an exchange semester during my undergrad at LMU Munich, then I returned for an internship, and then I got my master's degree in Cincinnati. I was lucky enough to win the Green Card lottery and have been a permanent resident since 2019! In my videos, I talk about cultural differences between America and Germany, things I like and dislike about living here, and other topics I come across in my everyday life in the States. Let me know what YOU would like to hear about in the comments below. DANKE :)

You guys have been asking for a cooking video for quite some time and when I went home for Easter earlier this year, my brother and I recorded one for you. 😊 I hope you find it helpful! If you give this a try at home, I would love for you to post about it on Facebook, Instagram, or TikTok, and don't forget to tag me! *Since a few people were irritated by this: The dish is usually just the dumplings with the sauce. We just decided to make some red cabbage with it (which some locals would be opposed to) because we find it to be a fitting side and you'll find this as a side of many traditional Bavarian dishes.*

@@conlon4332 Yes and no. The yeast needs to feed on a "sugar," but there are sugars available in the flour and other ingredients. If you want to proof your yeast or give it a head start, then, yes, you can add sugar, but a full portion of yeast (about a tablespoon) needs no more than a teaspoon of sugar to get it going. So the bottom line is that if you're going to add sugar to help your yeast, you only need a teaspoon or so--not the massive amounts a lot of commercial bread (and some home recipes) call for.

I lived in Germany for eight years, six as a kid (my father was in the U.S. Army), and two as a member of the U.S. Air Force. I met my wife in Germany in 1968 (her father was in the Air Force) and we both love German food. We can't pass a German restaurant we stumble on while traveling without getting a meal. Our most recent find was the restaurant Bavaria in Eagle Beach, Aruba. It was great. So, we'd enjoy more German food videos. Keep them coming.

I make the bread dumplings differently (I'm from Thuringia): I cut 8 rolls into cubes and fry it in 2-3 batches with butter in a large pan. Then I put the fried bread roll cubes into a large bowl. In a measuring cup I mix half a (German) cup of flour with a cup of water until smooth and nothing clumps and dump into the bowl. Then I add 4 eggs, salt and nutmeg and continue with kneading, let it rest for about 30 minutes, shaping and letting sit in salted water (just before the boiling point, but it should not boil). Where your dumplings are certainly the healthier option because there is less fat.

It's basically the gravy for Swedish meatballs and the foundation of many cream soups, "Thanksgiving green beans," and many other applications.

I love this dish and make it often in the fall, except that I use Eierschwammerl mushrooms. I'd never seen or used these mushrooms before in the US, but they're easy to find here in Austria. Instead of Semmelknödel, I mostly just use pasta, usually spaghetti. It's super delicious and one of my all-time favorite dishes!

@henningbartels6245 Жыл бұрын

The Austrian "Eierschwammerl" would be "Pfifferlinge" in Northern Germany or chanterelle in English. Though the usual Golden chanterelle seems to be only native to Europe, there are many more similar varieties from the same mushroom family, with a few varieties also native to the US. There are canned chanterelles here in Europe, but they don't taste the same - they are preserved in some acid water. The fresh mushrooms are much better.
