And what is currently your favourite breakfast?
A breakfast sandwich. Bacon or sausage(American ground breakfast sausage is different and not available in Germany. It’s shaped and sold in rolls and cut into thick slices before cooking)with over medium egg, cheddar cheese on an English muffin.
Hmm, eggs and cheese definitely, with sausage or scrapple and a biscuit, I love cheese with everything! 🙂😋🧀
I eat overnight oats most mornings. I fill 8 or 9 half-pint jars with about 2/3 cup of rolled oats, 1 tablespoon each of ground flax seeds and chia seeds, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and a few shakes of salt. Before going to bed I add almond milk, 1 tablespoon of pure maple syrup and 1 teaspoon of vanilla to a jar and top it off with blueberries; you can also add nuts and/or bananas. In the morning it's ready eat. Adjust the milk and syrup to your preferred thickness and sweetness. Yum!
Kaffee, Brötchen und griechischer Joghurt mit obst
I wish I could go to Germany for 2 weeks to check out places, food & the people.
I frequently traveled in Germany while working for a chemical company. I always looked forward to the breakfast buffets served at hotels, which included bowls of soft-boiled eggs, platters of salamis and cheeses, and fresh, crusty bread rolls The bread was the best.
I agree
The best breakfast buffet I've ever had was in Napoli, Italy at our hotel. We stayed there for 5 days and that breakfast was absolutely unreal.
Culture shock, favorite breakfast....a breakfast burrito smothered in green chili!
I’m German. So, for us, we do the following: 👉Brotchen 👉salami 👉prosciutto 👉ham 👉smoked Gouda 👉Butterkasse 👉Hard boiled eggs (egg cooker) 👉Jellies 👉Butter 👉S&P 👉Juice 👉Coffee 👉Fruit I usually buy the day ahead. Freeze the brotchen overnight. (We can’t get authentic brotchen here, and making it is a chore, so we get the take & bake rolls from Kroger. They are not as dense, but they do the trick.) Then, the next morning, I wake up early and make the spread. The biggest part about German breakfast is the presentation, then the smell, then the taste. So I grab a plate and roll each slice of meat and place them in the plate tightly together until the plate is full. I grab another plate and cut the cheeses. I overlap each slice of cheese until the plate is full. Then I start the eggs in the egg cooker. I grab the egg holders and the polish pottery teaspoons and begin to make the presentation on the table. I place the juices, the jellies, the butter, the bread basket, S&P, meats, cheeses, knives, plates, forks, spoons, fruit trays, napkins, coffee, creamers, sugar, honey, and then finally the cooked brotchen, nice and hot. Then I call everyone to breakfast and they all line up to make their sandwiches. They always compliment the presentation, and they’re always over satisfied. It’s become a tradition for over 30 years. Now, I prefer to have liverwurst spread, sliced tomatoes, minced meats, and brie, but I noticed most of my company doesn’t really eat that stuff, so I exclude it unless it’s just me eating. It’s a wonderful breakfast. You all should try it.😊
I remember while I was growing. My mom use to take me to Germany every morning we would have a soft boiled egg a platter with different cheeses and cold cut meats and off course different types of fresh bread. Till this day I thought that was a traditional German breakfast. I don't remember having anything else besides maybe dinners left over from the night before and having an fried egg on top. Left over goulash with an egg on top is so delicious.
I remember the breakfasts I has I was in Germany years ago. That's how wonderful they were, that I can remember breakfasts and the castles. ♡
in the North we have the Bauernfrühstück, Farmers breakfast, Bratkartoffeln with egg and Baconund saure Gurken , often surfed with Nürnberger or weißwurst from the south in the morning befor work and at 9:00 brotzeit at Work on field cheese and Ham and light beer or Wine (frühschoppen) , somztimes Fish (Matjes or Rollmops) . a mixed german breakfast or polish breakfast with soup for Power for the Day on Farm or fishing
Here in England I like advocado on buttered toast with black pepper, Apricots and prunes with natural organic yogurt, baked beans on toast, and eggs I like anyway they are cooked. I think I will try your oat and banana breakfast also I think it will be a nice change to a ham and cheese breakfast.
I'm partial to eggs on tortillas with hot sauce at the moment
Sounds very surreal 😀 especially the hot sauce! 😊
A superb presentation - Thank you!
German Breakfast 🧇 🍳🥞, looks very very very cool 😎, my Brothers and Sisters.
My favorite breakfast, organic eggs over easy, smashed up with lemon juice, salt, and pepper with toast to absorb the lemony goodness. You must try this it's amazing.
Top rate video as usual. My favorite breakfast is refried black beans, sausage, onion, and garlic fried up, and served in a corn maze soft taco shell. Love your work, Americans are ready to hear more about German life since there are so many of us here having at least some German heritage.
thanks for the video. oatmeal with toast or a fried egg sandwich are my favorites
I love breakfast food, scrambled eggs with cheese, is one of my favorites! I so enjoyed seeing this, and I loved your little coffee cup! 😊🤗🍵 thank you Marta! 💓
Thanks so much! 😊 We got it as a gift for our wedding. I always drink coffee from this cup:)
I like scrambled eggs with cheese as well.
Hi friend very nice video thanks for sharing 👍
I love your videos. Thank you
Thanks for watching 🤩
Always Interesting, me definitely need my coffee.
Wow, very nice video you have made, we live in heidenheim, our breakfast is bread/ protein bread/dark bread, with butter sometimes salami, black coffee without zuker, and sometimes with milk
Some look delicious!
I love German rich breakfast,becoz when i was in germany i eat all this.its amazing.❤❤❤❤
I'm living in Los Angeles. And having crusty bread, with brie. I present it on a small cutting board that has other items: Nuts. Maple syrup. Sliced apples. And figs I pick from a tree on the street, after I finish my morning run! I take coffee, done in a moka, the moment I wake up. With warm milk. I do calisthenics while waiting for the coffee to brew!
Very nice. Yes more savory than sweet. Cheers from the Pacific West Coast of Canada.
I enjoyed this video :) Also would like to try musli/oatmeal with blended yogurt and banana, I think they are a perfect combination! My breakfast has been the same for years now: cooked oatmeal with flaxseed, blueberries, peanut butter and walnuts. Sometimes I add a toasted bread on the side with peanut butter, sliced banana and a drizzle of honey 😊. I must not forget… Kaffee! Have a great Monday :)
Oh those sound wonderful. I think I might be adding peanut butter to my oatmeal tomorrow!:) But this bread sounds also good. Oh, but I need to to lose some of my pregnancy kg first so I stick to oatmeal!
When I’m visiting Germany I always have to remember that breakfast is a little different. Americans enjoy a hot breakfast so cold cuts with vegetables and cheese can be strange for us. However when I’m in Germany I enjoy being German and without a doubt my favorite is Mettbrötchen! We don’t have it in the states and it’s such a treat for me. I love it with onions and capers. Americans might think it’s strange but if eating Mett is wrong I don’t want to be right.
Hahahahaha! Love it!
Loved the video but I would love to know where to purchase the beautiful cup and saucer you poured your coffee into!
We got this one as a wedding gift. I Love those so much: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0038HB0SI/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B0038HB0SI&linkCode=as2&tag=marta0e4-20&linkId=0c6c77b8068e66dddd1e942db306990e
Guten Tag from Ohio, USA. My Father is from Vlotho, not far from Hanover. Say hello to Uncle Fritz for me! :o) I use this on my soft boiled eggs...Knorr Kräuterlinge Frühlingskräuter (Spring Herb Seasoning Mix)...from Amazon. Very tasty.
Thanks for the content. Would love to visit Germany one day
Thanks dear! Be ready to eat 🤩
@@cooking-the-world 😁
The sleeves on your outfit is beautiful. You look lovely. Favorite breakfast has rye toast with butter, eggs, ham off the bone and crispy hash browned potatoes.
Thanks. Sounds very British 😉
Unfortunately, I have to moderate consumption of salty foods dye to genetic heart issues in my family.
Favorit fruhstuck ist eir und brot, oder joghurt und milch. Und jede menga Kaffee! 😊 ❤
I feel like my standard breakfast here in the US is cereal (usually I try to go for less sugary brands) with milk, fruit, and a cup of tea (I generally like ones with added flavors like marsala chai or earl grey). On weekends I will sometimes take the time to make something a bit more involved, like oatmeal, or if I can find them frozen at my local Lidl Dampfnudeln. When I was a kid in Germany, my breakfast on schooldays was also cereal, milk, and fruit, but no tea. On the weekends we would get fresh rolls from the bakery. I generally preferred sweet spreads over savory ones for breakfast.
it was actually the Dutch who introduced tea with milk into Britain
I think I’m Paddington Bear because my fav breakfast is marmalade on toast. I love it with a hot cup of white coffee. Second fav especially during the winter is a bowl of oatmeal porridge with blueberries, mixed nuts and honey. ❤️ from the UK.
Both sound delicious. Paddington is really sweet Anne 😉
Oatmeal, coffee, and toast or one egg, coffee, and toast. When traveling in Europe my favorite breakfast is eating a fresh croissant with butter and black coffee in an outdoor cafe. I ordered scrambled eggs one time at an upscale hotel in southern Bavaria -- they were really orange and there must have been more than 8 eggs, lol.
I like biscuits and bacon gravy for breakfast. I also like scrapple and buckwheat pancakes with maple syrup too. Scrapple is a Pennsylvania German breakfast meat made from pork.
Wow thanks for sharing William. Those are very interesting combinations. I had to Google them because I never heard of those dishes. Would love to try both tbh!🤩
William here in Maryland and Virginia we enjoy scrapple. My 92 yr old mother grew up in the mountains of Virginia , think Waltons.........and she regularly ate sausage / milk gravy and biscuits, or salmon cakes cooked in lard for breakfast. or they ate oatmeal with real cream.... note... she's 92 and still going strong. .
Besten Dank fur Die Breakfast Auf in Deutsh.
Evening Marta. My memories of Frühstuck are rundstucke, ham, boiled eggs, Tilsiter cheese and I think Edamer. We had jams from my Oma's preserves and Honig. I particularly remember my Oma's plum jam, it was delicious though maybe more of a spread than a jam. My job as a kid in the late '40's was to go down to the Bakerie and fetch the Rundstucke, two of which always had to be Mondbrötchen for Oma. Graubröt was also always on offer. We never had coffee but always black tea, I don't remember lemon with it though. They were happy days for me Marta,often my cousins would come and have breakfast with us, a bunch of youngster's, all wearing lederhosen eating my Oma out of house and home, but she loved it. I loved my lederhosen, though they were scandously short by today's standards, do kids still wear them in germany? Thanks again for awakening many happy memories of my childhood.
Thanks Jim! Those homemade jams also made me think about home! Lederhosen are Not typical anymore. Maybe in Bavaria for Festivals they wear them. Here in Frankfurt I haven’t seen nobody in Lederhosen for a while now.
German breakfast very tasty tasty 👌🏻👌🏻😋😋👋👋
Oatmeal, cooked for 11 minutes with 3 cloves. The last 2 minutes I add milk, remove the cloves, and add raisins. Then I pour it into a bowl with honey, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper inside. I eat it with buttered toast. After adding the milk the cloves are easier to find.
When I lived in Stuttgart my breakfast was usually boiled egg with ham and fruit, or dark bread with butter and ham also with fruit. Always with coffee. Now in US its either boiled egg and toast or rough cut slow cooked oats and still with coffee.
Oh, I see. The German bread is short in supply in US. But the breakfast sounds wonderful!
I would like to try a German breakfast. Looks delicious! My favorite breakfast would be scrambled eggs, toast & jam with a coffee w/ cream. 😊
Tea for Breakfast,It makes me feel like the king of the world
Germans eat many types of meals, for breakfast, it can be as simple and quick, only 1 slice of bread, cup of milk, German frank, a slice of cheddar, and some light spread, the cost is also less than a pound, very quality based and economical. Die Germane' Franke' Werkes, bayerische milke, calidad exceptionale. Congratulateur Germane. Ci.
For sure, my favorite is scrambled eggs. Oatmeal is a good choice too, but cereal (Cheerios) almost always because I am too lazy to cook :) I hope we can see your take on American dishes served in Germany someday soon. I will dream of Kartoffelpuffer, Kaisershmarrn and Bauernomellets in the meantime. Hope you and your family are doing great.
Hi James, thats great idea. I have never thought of it. It landed on my list!
Usually cold cereal for breakfast and always coffee. Bacon and eggs are good for any meal. Last week I made Polish scrambled eggs. Have a great week !
This sounds wonderful. What are Polish scrambled eggs? You know I am half Polish so I am curious!
@@cooking-the-world The best way to describe it is to watch the video. When you are on KZhead do a search for { Polish Your Kitchen scrambled eggs }. This is another KZheadr from Poland. Since you are part Polish it will be interesting to see if you have ever had it.
i like earl grey or english breakfast tea. hot and strong! sometimes i have a spinach smoothie to get some magnesium in me. occasionally a chicken egg. i've never been a big breakfast guy.
I see. Therefore the smoothie :) of you can save some calories for later why not 😆
spinach needs to cooked otherwise you will get oxalate poisoning
What about Strammer Max? That is my favourite German breakfast.
I think that would be rather a Snack!
Love it Marta. I’m making muesli tomorrow it’s delicious. I like to buy big bags of oranges on sale when I can. Then we make fresh oh. Coffee for sure and eggs at least twice a week, on a roll with bacon or sausage. Usually just toast with peanut butter and jam, after all I’m American.
Thanks John. Now you inspired me to have the peanut butter and jam today. I have never had it and I think today is the day 😄 have a lovely week!
@@cooking-the-world organic peanut butter is high for n protein. I just made 2 pints of strawberry jam as well. Thanks
Bacon and eggs during the week at around 5am then coffee after I get to work I stay away from sugar in the morning
Currently I love having a Brezel with butter, a huge cup of Espresso Latte and a yoghurt with nuts and honey.
Love it 😍
I import German coffee to the Divided Kingdom, as it's so much better than any coffee beans available in here England. Stronger, richer and more fragrant!
My favorite breakfast (I am American...German, English, Welsh, Scot, Irish and French) is bacon (4 strips), with 2 eggs over easy and toast. For drinking...orange juice and coffee. I also love blueberries with breakfast.
Just say you're American. All the other stuff is cringe
My favorite breakfast? That would be😂 a 16 ounce steak rare with 3 eggs, grits with tomato gravy, fresh southern biscuits with butter and fig preserves, two mugs of hot black coffee, and apple juice.
Fig preserves are the BEST!
At the moment I have toast with butter topped with local honey, I used to have marmalade but never jam. I've had English Breakfast Tea with milk and a little bit of sugar but at the moment I like to drink black coffee made the way you Germans drink it. I've had muesli and milk in the past but it's a bit like eating soggy cardboard and I prefer porridge with salt or syrup or even cereals like cornflakes. I used to love travelling in Austria and Germany and would always have white rolls with cheese or slices of ham and any type of sausage available and a boiled egg.
Sounds lovely. And those bread roll memories 😍
Well, as a former Londoner you know what I mean when I say my favourite breakfast is a "full English"!! (But only twice a month, I don't want to be really fat!!!) Also like to make my own Muesli cause then I know exactly what's in it!! Enjoy your inner peace from the tea!!!!!
Hahahaha! So far no hateful comments, so I could have had my English breakfast tea with milk instead 😂 Dull English breakfast is a treat. I love it. Especially the hash brown 😍
Good morning! Could please you spell the cheeses in the comments or in reply to this comment? I am very interested in eating some German cheeses for breakfast. Thanks!
Oatmeal with fruit, muesli or broccoli and cheese omelet. Strong coffee with a little milk.
Oh this omelette sounds wonderful!
@@cooking-the-world It is, I use pepper jack cheese.
I usually have bacon, scrambled eggs, and cheese on a lightly buttered plain bagel with black coffee.
Sounds wonderful!
2:43 I've lived in Germany for over 30 years and never saw anyone eating pickles, fried, scrambled or hardboiled eggs for breakfast. Many people have that for supper (Abendbrot). I prefer cheese sandwich (rye bread) or cheese on a bun and tea with milk, no sugar. We used to have homemade pastry or cake on Sunday mornings because my Dad never liked afternoon tea or coffee so my Mom served it in the morning, that's pretty unusual, no one else had it 😄On Saturdays we had fresh cold cuts, really fresh from the butcher and freshly baked buns and pretzels. I really miss our German breakfasts!
The video is based on the survey as mentioned in the intro, please check it before you judge my choice of foods! PS. We also eat cake for breakfast! So your family isn’t the exception 😉
@@cooking-the-world Hi, don't be offended, people go by what they know. Times are changing and I forgot that I actually had some scrambled eggs on toast for breakfast when I was in my early 20s. It was the cheapest option when money was scarce. PS: why did you copy all the comments in this reply? 😯That's a bit much.
🤤
Hi where can I find a German delicatessen I have been hunting for one for years because I miss it things like tee wurst, rueben saft, chips paprika und soweiter can you help me please I'm about an hour from London if that helps your's sincerely K. Hatchett
Anyone?
Hi, you should be able to get these items at Aldi or Lidl. Blessings from Canada
If you want i could make you a package with these things in germany^^" if you pay for it and for the shipping costs.
I prefer eggs (in any form) with toasted English muffin (and buttered), tea. I'm German/Irish/Sioux. (American)
Really nice
Brezel mit butter bitte.
😍
Cheese, meat and pickles for breakfast - I'm moving to Germany!
Hahahahah!
I love poached egg with spinach and a hollandaise sauce, maybe bacon soft, with it and avocado & cherry tomatoes - South Africa , but this is for weekend. During the week is mostly rusks & coffee as it’s always a quick breakfast
Oh wow. How do you eat your rusks?
Weisswurst with a liter of beer for breakfast. In Bavaria, at least.
Me too.
@@cooking-the-world I forgot to include the pretzel!
As a kid in Germany I enjoyed the breads, cheese, ham or jam at breakfast My usual breakfast is coffee/tea and a couple of cigarettes these days but I do enjoy porridge or an occasional fry
Scottish breakfast is the best in world
Sorry, this type of "Mettwurst" is not raw, it has been smoked, is also called "Bratwurst" in other parts of Germany and should in no way be confused with "Mett" from the butcher, which is typically sold with raw onions Not only does it taste different, what you see in the video can be kept in the fridge for a good 2 weeks, 2 week old "Mett" from the butcher will 100% put you in the hospital
I seem to gain a couple of pounds after watching your videos. Just watching them. 😅
Dont worry, you will lose them as soon as you stop ;)
Breakfast tacos
I need to try those!
What, no bacon???
No bacon 😂
chocolate hazelnut spread on toast w/ plain hot tea is my favorite...... but we also have oatmeal , yogurt , waffles or egg sandwiches . Americans sometimes have coffee and donuts for breakfast..... surprised that Germans don't eat bacon or sausage for breakfast.
Yeah the breakfast is rather a cold meal.
No beer? It is a common notion here in the USA that Germans drink beer with every meal. But I didn't think that was true. I don't eat breakfast much but if I did, the liver spread with pickles at 2:41 looks fine to me.
That's disgusting! I can assure you that Germans don't drink beer with every meal and some Germans even hate beer - I'm one of them.
My name is Patrick McNeill and I uz and before that my name was teddy palm and before that my name was teddy trimmer and 75 years ago my family name was O'Brien's and if you look at books on theology from Florida Baptist college you will see my name
ich bin Amerikaner, also mein frühstück ist großer als normal. wie Spiegeleier, Bacon, Wurtz oder etwas anderes Fleisch. danke fürs Video !
In diesem Fall, frage ich mich immer, was die Amerikaner für Mittag und Abend essen;)
No one should eat that fatty and unhealthy in the morning... no wonder so many americans look fat over there...
@@cooking-the-world immer etwas großer für Mittag und Abends essen haha 😉 deswegen sind wir dick haha

That “coffee” looks weaker than tea.
Creamy scrambled eggs on toast.
