Күн бұрын

We've been asked many times to show what we've been eating here in Germany since we moved here in February of 2021 from America, so here ya go! We go shopping 3-4 times a week, which is a big change for us coming from America. We used to shop once a week! But we love trying new German foods - you'll see us eat and make Käsespätzle, Maultaschen, Dürum, Schupfnudeln (Kartoffelnudeln), Weißbier, and lots of yummy Brötchen (rolls) und brot (bread) from the bakery. Even the snacks are different here - like the paprika-flavored chips!

When I saw this video I thought about how you could improve your german. There's a tv-show on sunday mornings called "Die Sendung mit der Maus". Ist's a progam made for children with short stories and then there are stories too that can/will interest adults too. This all is made in a simple but accurate speech. I think many Germans will agree that this is a good way to learn this language and learning somthing about things you never thought about too. Like years ago they showed how paper-clips were made.

Most Döner in Germany are actually made with beef, not chicken or lamb. Käsespätzle are a traditional Swabian dish. Swabia is a region, that covers parts of both Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg. It's composition varies widely depending on the region - some only use spätzle an cheese, some *have* to have onions. Also sometimes it is just cooked/fried in a pan and sometimes it's made in the oven only. My family usually make the spätzle from scratch. It isn't difficult and fresh ones take on the cheese much better. We usually have a ratio of 1.5:1:1 for spätzle, fried onions and cheese, layered and then backed - and absolutely and decidedly NO CREAM! Yes, that is a lot of onions, but if they are nice and brown and caramelized, it is just delicious!

@anitapenkert389 2 жыл бұрын

Making Spätzle from scratch is so quick! The longest step is waiting for the water to boil. Of course you need one of the contraptions. I use mine several times a month, my kids are teenagers now and still love it. We make them the way my Munich familiy always made them, i.e. no onions, just cheese and gratinated in the oven. Serve with a nice mixed salad.

@meamzcs Жыл бұрын

For me the best variant is just fresh Spätzle directly into the cheese, then just make sure the cheese is mixed with the Spätzle and then directly eat it with fried onions on top.

A little advice for your schnitzel night: If it is not too time intensive (you got 4 children, so cooking has to be a lot of work) and you got a butcher around and a meathammer at home try to make schnitzel yourself. Maybe include some of your children as well to speed up the process. Like you first hammer the meat to make it tender and then your children can pretty much do the rest bevore frying as it is just to lightly coat it in four, followed by egg and breadcrumbs (usually from white bread or buns). It is a bit of a mess as the breading will no matter what you do find a way to build up on your fingers, but usually better than the store bought stuff!

Have you got a peeler? You know that tool with a blade like a razor that cuts off the outer skin of a potatoe, carot or asparagus only. When peeling asparagus start just below the head and work down along the stem. You will get the feel quickly. Do not throw the peel away. Wash the peelings and boil them for some 10 minutes with a little salt and lemon juice, then pour the liquid through a strainer. Use the broth to boil the asparagus in it. And the liquid can then be used to make a sauce hollandaise or for asparagus soup. Lots of people will become very orthodox on the issue of asparagus. We prefer them plain without a complicated sauce. We simply eat them with fresh butter and some chopped parsley together with salt potatoes and smoked ham , "Katenschinken".

Germans eat white Asparagus religiously! There are two special culinary times in a german year: Spargelzeit (Asparagus time in spring) and Grünkohlessen (Kale in autumn/ winter). Here is a recipe for a typical german Spargelessen: About 250 gramms Asparagus per Person Sauce Hollandaise German ham, like Schwarzwälder Schinken Potatos You cook well salted water with a bit of sugar and about half a lemon. When its cooking you put in the Asparagus that you peeled well before and cut off the ends. You cook this once, then get the heat down and let it simmer for ten to 15 minutes until the Asparagus is soft. In the meanwhile you cook peeled potatos in well salted water (Salzkartoffeln). You serve the Asparagus with potatos and ham along the sauce Hollandaise (you can make it yourself, but you can also buy a good one. At least i do). White german wine goes well with it, like a Riesling. Many people cook a Asparagus cream soup from the peel as an Entrée (in the european way of the word - starter is what you would say). And a strawberry dessert, like Erdbeertorte (sugared strawberrys on bisquit (the french version) with cream on top or beneath. If you are interested i could give you a recipe for the soup too

"Käsespätzle" is a southern german, suiss and austrian dish which is pronounced in the local dialect. In Swabia, where all things are small and the language is cute, they are called little Käse Spatzen, aka "Käsespätzle" (Spätzlein in high german) with all letters pronounced. In Bavaria, where everything is big and more serious, it is called Kaasspatzn. Accually I don't know how they are called in Switzerland and Austria. All I know is, that they make them in a pan in Austria and Switzerland, but make them in the oven in Swabia. Fun fact: they have nothing to do with the bird Spatz; the name comes from italian spaziare, or sweep, as the original are sweeped from a wooden plate into the boiling water (Spätzlesbrett).

Kässpätzle are my favorite.. next time just cook the Spätzle or even make them yourself.. (look for Goldspatz on Amazon. I think they have the best tools for it and they come with a recipe).. so cook the Spätzle in a salty water and layer them with cheese.. so Spätzle cheese, Spätzle cheese and so an. Top them with fried onion (I think you say French onion to it and eat it with tomato salad or lettuce.. the original way would be with potato salad (at least in my area).. Have you tried Kartoffelknödel? Potatoes dumplings? Or Dotsch? I‘m actually not quite sure if this a the proper name it’s what my Bavarian grandma calls them. It’s basically the same dough as for the Kartoffelknödel (you can buy them from the brand Henglein but any other will do too.. we dice a onion put them to the dough, add salt and Quark. I think we add a egg or two, too. Mix it till it’s smooth then we fry/bake them like American pancakes (yes I wrote that on purpose cause german pancakes have more the size of Crêpes).. and we eat it with salad or some of us eat it with apple sauce..

I cannot really cook anything, but Spätzle are quite easy to make from scratch, and a lot of fun to cook (not to clean the tools afterwards, though, with all the dough). I definitely recommend trying that, most easily with the help of a Spätzlespresse (which can also be turned into a spaghetti icecream maker in the summer if you put in the freezer). They always say that the only real Spätzle are "handgeschabt", but that requires some practice (no tool but a knife, though). The main advantage for Käsespätzle is that you don't make them like mac&cheese in an oven, but do a layer of fresh Spätzle, then add some cheese, then another layer of Spätzle etc. This makes the unique taste and feel of the dish.

Oh, the Döner you got there was actually a turkish (rolled) pizza. Which is very common and is sold at most Döner places as well. A typical Döner wouls be cut open warm bread with the meat and the salad greens "shuffed" in. That bread is quite different from that of the turkish pizza, but the ingredients of the "filling" are quite similar. Both very tasty though.

@@MyMerryMessyGermanLife It wasn't. There's the Döner Kebap, the bread filled with meat, etc. Then there's the Dürüm, which is the wrap version of the dish, where the same filling is rolled inside a flat bread (that's similar to the normal döner bread, but shaped like a tortilla). And then there's the turkish-style pizza topped with minced meat, also called Lahmacun. That pizza is often pre-baked and then other toppings get added later before serving, including döner meat. And this pizza is also often eaten rolled (especially for takeaway). Then it's very similar to the Dürum, but instead of the "tortilla-shaped döner bread" you have the minced-meat pizza around the same filling. Döner Kebap, Dürüm (the wrap version of the kebap) and Lahmacun (the turkish-style minced meat pizza, often also served as a filled wrap) are similar. I'm pretty sure, what you had was the Dürüm, no pizza.
