It's 9:30 in the morning and today we
will be finding out what Germans eat
typically for breakfast. The most
important meal of the day in Germany
usually consists of hot drink like
tea or coffee or both
one after another. Children usually go
for Kaba
which is the German producer of hot
chocolate and other powders that you can
mix with milk like strawberry, raspberry,
vanilla or banana. Some children or
adults also go for orange juice but this
is less common. The most basic ingredient
of the German breakfast is either bread
or bread roll. Some people also eat toast
for breakfast but it's not that common.
Those who like to start the day on the
sweet note sometimes go for croissants
or sweet rolls. If we go for the sweet
breakfast we usually also go for butter
jam, chocolate and hazelnut spread or
honey or all of them one after another.
Instead of the chocolate hazelnut spread
some of us go for an Eszet Schnitten which
are thin slices of chocolate served on
the bread or bread roll, I know for some
of you, it's gonna be kind of weird, but
it is delicious! Talking about sweet
options I definitely need to mention
oats the most popular old dish that you
can find in Germany it's called Bircher
Müsli.
This is a very interesting story as this
the recipe was developed for Birchers
sanatorium patients to improve their
digestion. The original recipe contained
apples, yoghurt, oatmeal, sweetened
condensed milk, ground nuts and lemon
juice. Now many people use fresh milk
instead of condensed milk and apple
juice instead of lemon juice. The oats
are left overnight in milk and served
with yoghurt, fruits and nuts.
If you would like to know how to prepare
fish a mystery I'm gonna put the link in
the description box down below to my
recipe.
Next breakfast dish that is beloved here
in Germany are waffles and although
first waffle irons came from Belgium and
France we have already had them
here in Germany since 15th century we
love eating our waffles with powdered
sugar on the top, but some people prepare
whipped cream and fruits. Yes, it always
depends on what you like. The next dishes I
really need to mention are the German
pancakes. The German pancakes are called
in Germany Eierpfannkuchen. They are a
bit thicker than French crepes but not
as thick as the American pancake and
because my husband really loves very
thin pancakes this is how they look like
when he prepares them the most basic
ingredient to eat the pancakes with is
sugar and cinnamon
followed by apple sauce and we like it
with Nutella oh well so Nutella it is!
Every fancy breakfast needs to have a
fruit salad.
Therefore German bakeries and cafes also
offer some fruits for breakfast. Fruit
salad is served for breakfast is usually a
side dish not the main thing, and now let's
move on to this savoury stuff. One of the
most popular cooked
German breakfast is called Bauernfrüstück.
Bauernfrüstück is not only eaten for
breakfast but also sometimes for lunch
or dinner. The dish consists of all the
goodies: bacon, onions, potatoes and egg.
Right on the pan with some oil or butter
Bauer actually means a farmer in German
and i bet that this breakfast was very
popular among farmers because it delivered a lot
of energy that every farmer needs in a
day. When I'll be honest with you I could
have it for breakfast lunch and dinner.
Another savoury, but this time regional
speciality is Brezel mit Weißwurst.
It is a literally white sausage that is
served with sweet mustard and Pretzel.
The sausage contains veal and pork minced
meat and also very interesting flavours
like
parsley, lemon, onions, ginger and cardamom.
The sausage is prepared very early in
the morning and eaten as a snack between
breakfast and lunch the sausage. It is eaten
without the skin by the tactic called
ZUZELN its Bavarian for sucking and
trust me this is not that easy to eat.
This video meant to be filmed actually
in cafes and bakeries where you can find
German breakfast but because of the
coronavirus situation we have only
visited one cafe and we filmed there's a
German breakfast. A very traditional
German breakfast usually contains bread
or bread roll with ham and cheese and
those two are the most common
ingredients to have a for breakfast
here in Germany if the breakfast isn't
cooked Germans also love eating for
their breakfast eggs in many different
forms. One of the most popular forms is
definitely, a scrambled egg but here is
for example, Matthias always puts he scrambled eggs
on the bread roll and ham and eat them
together than with a fork and a knife.
Some people also like eating boiled eggs
for breakfast, but I would definitely ask
how the eggs gonna be prepared before
ordering because then like me you end up
with a hard-boiled egg which is definitely
not what I wanted. So now you know
exactly what breakfast we enjoy here in
Germany. To make things even easier for
you I have prepared a checklist with all
authentic dishes that you can try on your
