The Germans are extremely proud of their bread culture – and pretty scathing about bread from most other countries (don't get them started on "Toastbrot.") Since moving to Germany, Rachel has discovered the delights of fresh German bread from the local bakery. But there's still one thing getting between her and a bag of crusty bread rolls...

Rachel moved from the UK to Germany in 2016. As a relative newcomer she casts a fresh eye over German clichés and shares her experiences of settling into German life. Every two weeks she explores a new topic – from unusual bans to meaty cuisine or haunted castles. This week: bread.

Are you a fan of German bread? Or can your country's bread give Germany a run for its money?!

    Have you ever tried German bread and if yes what's your favorite kind?
  • @axelbaumann8182
    Die zweit beliebteste Brötchenart in Deutschland ist „nein,das daneben“.
  • @Parazeta
    We actually have an enormous variety when it comes to bread but in the end everyone buys "das da"
  • @davidjahn862
    For you German learners out there struggling with pronouncing all those varieties of bread rolls: Just leave out the "-brötchen" in the end and you'll casually come across like a native when ordering as a side effect! "Drei Sesam, zwei Mohn, ein Vollkorn und vier Normale, bitte!"

    MeettheGermans: Come here to learn about Germans! Audience: casually pretending like we're not German ourselves
  • @thephoenix5456
    Germany seems to be more beautiful whenever Rachel explains about it.
  • @cFatoss
    We even have a bread puppet at the children TV channel 🤣 his name is "Bernd das Brot (Bernd the bread)"
  • @MissSegine
    My friends and I (Germans) even have this joke where we ask other Germans who are or have been abroad: "What did you miss most when you went abroad and which kind of bread is it exactly?" :P
  • @thomasschmitz3765
    "Kürbiskernbrötchen zum Frühstück" - If a non-German can pronounce this fairly well, he or she is the closest thing to a native speaker, i.e. C2 :-)
  • @xCARNAGE_ASADAx
    Dear Germany. Corona ruined my plans to visit you last year, but now I'm more than eager to go as soon as this is over so I can enjoy your bread, food, beer and your beautiful landscapes. Until then, stay safe.
  • @PassportTwo
    Germany's bread is so important to the culture, there is even a museum dedicated to it in Ulm! 😊
  • @jana9662
    Respect for your courage to actually say the things you want when ordering in a bakery! Even us Germans just point at the thing we want and say "x mal das da, bitte"
  • @TheSwedishRider
    Pro tip for non German speakers: Say the number of rolls you want in total in the beginning (x Brötchen, bitte) and then quickly point at whatever roll looks interesting to you and say "Das, bitte" (this one, please). Should work perfectly!
  • @appleslover
    My uncle used to live in Germany and he always missed German bread , so he started making some every now and then, and it's absolutely delicious. 😄❤
  • @degv364
    I was only one week in Germany (Bremen), but it was enough to fall in love with their bread!
  • @wals-1
    Luckily I have some German friends that own a bakery here in Auckland, New Zealand - yum I will be practicing those German bread names 😋
  • @michaelthomas366
    As an American living in Germany, I use to love going in the mornings to get fresh baked bread. You can't beat it! How about cafe trinken mit kuchen
  • @e.c.listening326
    As a German living in Germany I don’t bother with the names of those things, each baker has his own „specials“ and not always a little sign close by what it’s supposed to be called. Just go in and look for what you like, point and say „3 of those and 2 of that over there“...works like a charm.
  • @aaaaaaaaaaaarrrrgggg
    I lived in Germany 30 years ago, and I really miss cycling down to the bakery for the wonderful brötchen ....käsebrötchen are my favourite, but the seeded brötchen are very tasty, too. Breakfast in Germany is the best meal of the day ....the problem? Limiting myself to only 2 brötchen! Thanks for this great reminder - I’m busy planning a trip back, as soon as travel restrictions are eased!
