Trying German Food In Australia (Part I)

Where the hell are we? Things are going well with you, Locklein. We welcome you today from Sydney, Australia. Today we want to try German food, specifically with Janusz. Hello. And with our viewer Locklein. Hello. Sydney or Australia is almost on the opposite side of the world from Germany, But despite that, there are German cultures here, German immigrants, and also German food. And today we're going to test what Sydney has to offer. Our first stop is German Butchery Daily & Café, a genuine German butcher shop right in the heart of Sydney. And let's see what's in there. Here we go. We would like the Bavarian white sausage first, and then also the Nuremberg bratwurst with sauerkraut and German-style bread. And you? And two more peanuts. Is that a good choice, Marlen? Yes, we'll find out soon, right? Locklein told me about something I've never heard of in my entire life. And this is an Almdudler. And that is what we want to test now. And Locklein, where do you know Almdudler from? Also, I did a short exchange program in Austria, and I drank Almdudler almost every day. Very delicious. Very fresh. Tastes very good. Ah, I know that. Tastes good? Cheers. Tastes very good. It tastes a bit like a candy. As if dissolving a candy. A peppermint candy, or is it? Locklein, why do you speak German so well, anyway? Also, I learned German in school. I started learning German at the age of 13. Thirteen? Yes, so I'm now 17. Yes, and I'm starting my studies, and I've chosen German as my minor subject. I also look forward to improving my German further. I am naturally extremely impressed by Locklein. Speaking German that well at the age of 17. I also learned, I think, three languages by the age of 17. But could do nothing. But I also speak a little Dutch, yes. Also, you should pay attention at school and check whether you can get a scholarship. And then you could speak a language as well at 17 as Locklein does now. I think many viewers dream of that. Yes, it's great. So, I made the Nuremberg bratwurst with sauerkraut. And then the white sausage and pretzel. Very good. Enjoy your meal. Thank you. That looks really good. Locklein, have you ever eaten white sausages? Yes, it's been a long time, but I can't remember. Also, like, I just have to get the skin off... I don't know it either. I have no idea how to do that. There are various techniques. But the easiest thing is to cut them lengthwise. And then you can pull them sideways, exactly. Okay, I'll do that then. Do you want some mustard over here once? Yes, please. But with white sausages, you naturally eat sweet mustard. Very delicious. Janusz, you haven't been in Germany for a week already. Have you missed me, the German sausage? Total. Try it out. Simply delicious. Ah, you made it. Yes, I managed it. It took a little time, but... This tastes very good. And they just go together very well. Now, even more important, try the pretzel. Brezel is truly one of the top things from Germany that I always miss. Bad luck, how it tastes. Here, Janusz. Absolutely delicious. It's going well with you. Take it easy, don't rush. And attention. Madeleine, how long have you been running this shop? Yes, I've been here for over 10 years already. Is German food popular in Sydney? Yes, very, very popular. We have many German customers, but we also have many Greek customers. We also have many customers who have taken vacations in Germany or Europe. And therefore, right now, you'd like to eat a good German sausage in Australia. What sells best here? Yes, definitely the bratwursts. We have many different kinds of sausages, as well as ham and good cooked ham. Our products are all manufactured here in Australia. Also made according to German recipe, but using Australian ingredients. And then we also have such German specialties as liverwurst, paprika Leoné, beer ham. I mean, it's also partly our responsibility to teach customers how delicious our products are. Goodbye. I so gladly remember those times in Australia. We are back in Berlin by now. But one thing I have learned. There are incredibly many kind people in Australia learning German, but they have little opportunity to practice speaking. And for that, we've come up with something now. Starting next Monday, we will expand our conversation membership by one session per week. Every Monday evening at 8 p.m., which is Eastern Time in Australia, you can practice German with us. How does the Conversation membership work? You can practice German together with other German learners and with us in a safe space full of really nice people. And all of this helps you become more fluent in a safe environment. You can register. There are six calls per week at different times, so no matter where you are in the world, you'll always find a meeting time once a week. Between these times, you can even practice alone in our audio rooms on Discord. If you feel like giving it a try, sign up now. The link is right above here. And now it continues in Sydney. Yes, Janusz, how's your day going so far? Totally exotic. German goods right in the heart of Sydney. Have we chosen the correct address? Also, let's see. Where the hell are we? We somehow ended up on an ordinary street. But wasn't it on your card? Ah, I understand, of course. Yes? Also, they are a catering company. Okay, that means they're standing somewhere now. Here is the business address of this catering company. But it's a food truck. And we're now somewhere in a suburb of Sydney and don't know where we're supposed to go. Who are you? Yes, we've just found this here. The place we wanted to go to is actually a food truck. But he isn't out and about today at all. We had a mix-up with the dates. And now we are actually here in Renate's garden, who runs this food truck. And we would like to ask her at least two more questions. Renate, where are you from? Just from Austria. But you were born here? Yes, in Sydney. Wow. We don't have to mention the age, do we? You have a food truck. What are you doing? What are you selling? We make stews that we cook slowly for nine hours. What are stülzen? Stulz, uh, Knuckles. Ah, pork knuckles. Pork knuckles, exactly. Let's say in Germany. Haxen. Haxen! And are they popular in Australia? Yes, but we must call her by a different name. Crispy Pork Really? Yes. Otherwise, one does not know it. And when you say Crispy Pork, for example, if I'm selling Pork Knuckle Rolls, I'm selling it for 15. If I sell Crispy Pork, I sell 100. Really? Yes, really. And what else do you sell? Cheese croquettes, bratwurst, currywurst, baked cheese, Camembert, and pretzels, German, from Munich. Would you say that German food in general is popular in Australia? It's getting bigger and bigger. Oh really? It's getting more and more, yes. What causes that? Where from? What? Where does the popularity come from? Ah, I think many Germans are coming over here now for Oktoberfest. Everyone knows Oktoberfest. Yes. There was something I saw that was completely crazy. Brezel with Nutella? Yes, it goes very, very well. Who came up with that idea? Me. Everything with Nutella. Yes, that's right. Pizza with Nutella. Noodles with Nutella. Oh, is that specific to Australia? Yes, everywhere there's only Nutella. For sure. So, that was quite an interesting visit to Renate's. Even though we had no food, we learned a little about what the People eat in Australia and how German and Austrian food arrives here. And now we continue on to our next stop. Inverted world. Last week we were still so looking forward to visiting here in Australia. Finally summer. And now I'm really looking forward to the air conditioning in the taxi. It is very warm today. I haven't had such a warm day in a long time. Janusz, welcome to the city center. Yes, after that I longed for it. We live somewhere out in a village, and here is urban life. I love it here. Food Gallery, this way. There it is. Krass, Janusz, right? It looks just like a bakery in Germany. Total, yes. Okay, what would you like to order? Filled roll. Are you still hungry? Unfortunately not. But I think I'll order myself a piece of cake. A ham and cheese sandwich. What's that supposed to be? Auntie Anne's? Yes, this is new here. I've never tried it before, honestly. I think it comes from the USA. What? Are you, an American baker, competing with the German bakery? I must invest this. I'll go there and ask. Hi, how are you? I just wanted to ask, is this a German or American market? American? Yes. Cool, thanks. That's quite a scandal. Now the Americans are selling pretzels here in Australia. Right next to the German bakery, where you get the real pretzels. Hi. I would like a pretzel. A seasoned pretzel. A cinnamon paste. An apple crumble cake. And a jam-filled Berliner. That is exactly what we wanted. Lokland, where have you brought us? We are at Mrs. Macquarie's Chair, it says. It has a beautiful view of the harbor and the bridge, and the Sydney Opera House. It's very nice; we can see the ferries. Cool. What did you say, Janusz? It is a perfect place here. It's time, we want to see what you're trying. Here we go. Shall I start? Yes. What do we have here? That is Cinnamon, I like Cinnamon. In Germany, it's called a French roll. And here it is... I don't know what that means. It tastes really delicious. Cinnamon Pastry, they said. Hubert Very good. No, don't feed him, Janusz. Hubert Bad idea. May one do that, Lokland? Also, it's a bad idea. Alright. You're allowed to do it, but you really shouldn't. Yes, thank you, Janusz. Leave her. You are my friends. A classic. A pretzel. Wow. Here, we share brotherly. You can leave the rest of the pretzel behind. Do not give away to the birds. Janusz, how does the pretzel taste? It tastes delicious. Did you just... Hey, look, they're arguing about the pretzel now. She swallowed it down. This is a Berliner. It's actually like a donut, but instead of a hole, there is jam. Perfect. Very good. But it actually tastes surprisingly delicious. It is no imitation. Apple cake Delicious. Wow, I love apple pie. There he is again. Very good. Is that a submarine? No. No, a wave. Oh, I'm holding it crooked. Who gave the entire cake to the birds? Me neither. Was? I don't know, I don't. Were you that? I was certainly not myself. Janusz, did you give the entire cake to the birds? No. Also Janusz, we've been going all day long Only tried German things, German food. I have something typically Australian for you. Looks good. It's called Vegemite, it's a bit salty, But it is very popular in Australia. I had this for breakfast today. What does he say? I am nervous. It tastes a bit fishy. Really? I've never heard that before. A bit fishy. After such old, rotten fish. Does it taste good to you, Janusz? I don't like the taste, but it tastes very strange. But you eat it anyway, Janusz, very well. I want to understand it, but it's hard for me. because it doesn't really taste natural. Then just tell Hubert. We're now going to do a scientific Hubert. And then Dieter too, Dieter. What's Vegemite, Loktan? I don't think anyone knows it exactly. We already thought so. What's in it then? Yeast But look here, the Vegemite has scared off the birds. Since they ate it. They were probably invented for that purpose. So, folks, that's it for our big German food test in Sydney. Janusz, how did you like it? It was incredible. Because the things tasted so deliciously right, as I had not expected. And all respect. And I'm looking forward to the second part, so to speak. Thank you, Loktan, for showing us your city. Certainly, thank you for the opportunity. Now we continue with part 2 of this video. We are now going to Melbourne. In the second part of this video, we visit Melbourne. on the southeast coast of Australia. There, our adventure continues at two locations, so far away from Germany and still feel like a small piece of home. And we are visiting yet another completely different place in Oceania, where, surprisingly, there is also German food. If you'd like to see all of this, subscribe to our channel And just stop by again next Sunday here. Bye and see you next week.
