Hang on vegetarian foodies! Germany is
ready for you! Do you wanna know what
traditional vegetarian dishes to eat in
Germany? In this video I'm gonna show you
10 available options from street food to
regional food and season food. But I
certainly can't do a vegan video - so
don't ask me for that! And please
remember that all options that I'm
showing you're going to be put in the
description box down below
in German and in English as well, so you
can copy it and have it as a checklist
ready for your journey. But now without
further ado let's just start! Let me start this
video with street food to find German
vegetarian street food dishes I went to
Kaiser Markt which is a market just
right next to the main station in
Frankfurt and I ordered Flammkuchen with Bergkäse
which is flame pastry how we would
translate it to English
it's a French and German Tarte flambee
that it's composed of bread dough creme
fraiche, thin sliced onions and lardons -
so that would be the normal traditional
meat version I have ordered mine with a
paprika.
Traditionally with Flammkuchen people we're
testing the heat of the wood-fired
oven. When Flammkuchen was ready during the
minute or two the oven was also ready
for baking.
The next German vegetarian
speciality is definitely Kartoffelpuffer
so the potato pancakes
those are served traditionally with the
apple sauce or quark but here in
Frankfurt you can also get it with a
green sauce. So green sauce is the Frankfurt
speciality there is a mixture of seven
different herbs and in my family we use
sour cream as a base.
The sauce is seasoned with salt, pepper,
sugar and lemon. To eat this beauty on the
screen you're gonna need to go to
Konstablerwache Market which is the
biggest market in Hessen with over 60
vendors and it takes place every Thursday and Saturday.
And now Matthias tries to take of Mark
Wiens to perfection.
Oh dear, I think your head movement
is just not right yet. Check the link in
the top right corner to find out more
what to eat at Konstablerwache market
and now we're gonna move on to the
dishes that you'll likely find in German
restaurants. Käsespätzle it's usually served
with a salad and I mentioned this dish
in many videos and many blogs. If you like
what you see you definitely should check
the link in the top right corner there
is a recipe for spätzle that are made
from the very soft dough, cooked just for a
few minutes. After this we put them in the
pan with some cheese and fry until
cheese melts. Spätzle are usually served with
fried onions on the top. Next German
vegetarian dish it's Kartoffeln mit Quark.
Those are potatoes usually baked in the
oven but some of the restaurant use
the boiled potatoes. Potatoes are served
with a kind of savory style curd cheese
which normally contains some herbs and
salt and pepper this dish I had in the
restaurant called Zum Gemalten Haus. In
Frankfurt Sachsenhausen and they also
have a few other vegetarian options for
you if you like to eat vegetarian in
Frankfurt. And now let's move on to the
seasonal dishes so the first one which
you see on the screen is Bärlauchsuppe
so wild garlic soup is beloved in
spring and summer I put a link to the
recipe in the top right corner if you
can't resist and you want to cook it
right now. Other big seasonal speciality
is for sure white asparagus. White
asparagus can be served in many
different ways but the most traditional
one is a soup and boiled. Last year I
have even tried white asparagus soup
with some strawberries and that was
beyond delicious I will put the recipe
to it in the top right corner. When you
come to Germany in autumn you can
enjoy Pfifferlinge so the chanterelle.
Those are usually served with the bread
dumplings unfortunately I don't have a
picture of that complete dish. I just
have to hope that your imagination works
just fine and you can imagine what I
described. In the winter time we like
preparing a pumpkin soup and chestnut
soup. You're gonna find them in every
restaurant. Now I've got two regional
dishes to show you, so this is Obazda or Sachsenhäuser Schneegestöber. Don't worry,
you don't have to repeat that. This is a
starter very popular in Frankfurt and in
Bavaria I had this one in a very cool
wine bar in Frankfurt
that serves mostly German wine. If you
want to try great German wine in
Frankfurt I'm gonna put the name of this
place in the description box down below.
And finally there it is. Those are Germknödel. I have mentioned this dessert in
my dessert video. Germknödel are made
fluffy yeast dough and usually stuffed with a
different kind of fillings.
They can be served with a melted butter
or a mix of poppy seeds and sugar on the
top, or vanilla cream sauce with a
cinnamon like in this variation. This can
be dessert but it also can be a main
course. Those Germknödel were steamed and
I had them at the Frankfurt Christmas
market because this is the only time you
get to eat this Bavarian speciality in
Frankfurt.
If you do like sweets I have created a
video about ten a German desserts to eat
in Germany and those are cake excluded, I
will put the link in the top right
corner for you. So now you know what
exactly to eat on your trip to Germany
