That has to last now until Christmas. I hope only until Christmas.
For everybody who's never seen that before that's the 'saarländisch' way of having a
barbecue. Yes.
But all of it is very delicious. I think it is.
Okay, we want to make a barbecue or have a barbecue in my parents garden tomorrow and
we want to buy some meat.
Yeah. Ah Kirsten, there's lamb. Yes, that's it. How much do you want? Oh this is a big
piece, that needs to be sliced. I only have one of the smaller pieces.
So this is the meat, a regular meat counter - yes - in a supermarket - in a small supermarket.
Yes, that's actually, yeah that's a regular supermarket. So you can see how big it is
and how much variants of meat we have. Too much actually. We don't need that much.
These ones. We need some snacks. Erdnussflips. I think, go for these ones. Okay, yeah.
What do you want? The regular ones. The regular ones, well, we usually have these. Yeah, the
regular one. Chipsfrisch Ungarisch. And I'm taking two because I'm taking one with me.
Yes.
Hello! Hello! What can I do for you? 2 Bratwürste, please.
This is a regular Bratwurst - Rostwurst. Rostwurst here where I come from. And it's ahhh. Enjoy.
And I have one as well.
Love it?
Really good and Jörg always get my roll.
So simple yet so good. Now these are the beers which we will take back to the UK. Hmm.
This is from Zwiefalter Klosterbräu which is a brewery not far away from where let's
say I I lived. Yes, the Swabian Jura. Yeah. Hang on because this is very nice. Yeah. Helles,
well, it's actually, it's Helles von der Alb, Engele.
That's the name. Yeah. That's so cute. But it's a beer. It's a beer. So and this one
is from Munich. It's Hacker Pschorr, a very traditional brewery in Munich. Yes, Münchner
Hell. Yes and they've got a very nice Bierkeller in Munich - yes - next to the Rathaus in the
middle in the centre of Munich. And the last one is from Rothaus which is from the Black
Forest - hmm - and it's a Weizenbier so a wheat beer - yeah - they also do a very do
a very very good normal regular beer. Hmm. And it's one, let's say it's one of my favourite
breweries. Yes with a very very lovely label. Yeah. And yeah, this is what we're taking
back.
I think I really love this one. This is very beautiful as well because it's so traditional
Bavarian. And that's very nice too. We're in my parents garden today, it's a wonderful
summer day and we're having a barbecue. And we thought we just have to show you what the
barbecue in Saarland looks like because it's such a unique way in this area. For everybody
who's never seen that before that's the saarländisch way of having a barbecue. Yes. And this is
my dad by the way. You've seen him, you've seen him in several other videos and yeah,
this is called a 'Schwenker'. Yeah. Vati? Yeah. Do you know the English, is there an
English word? It's a tripod. Yes, of course, that's a tripod, yeah. And we're making sausages,
lamb and what's the other thing? Sticks like like - pork, pork filet - yeah, pork sticks.
Yeah. Yeah. And it's a very cosy way of making it. Yeah. Yeah and that's what I like most.
Prost. Show me. What is it you're having here? Is it, it's a Radler. Yes, that's called a
Radler. Beer with lemonade. Very cold so it's nice.
Now I will try it.
It's not too bad. I don't drink beer so I don't like it too much but the lemonade makes
it a bit better. And that's from Paulaner.
So this is a regular Bratwurst and we also have these red sausages here in Germany filled
with cheese which are so good too.
This is German potato salad, Kartoffelsalat,
and apart from potatoes it has some eggs, gerkins, uh, tomatoes and apple actually - yeah
- and salad sauce of course. And it looks scrumptious
And these are the sausages and the lamb.
Bon Appétit. Guten Appetit.
Thank you, to you as well. Prost. Prost. Cheers. Cheers.
And because ice cream parlors are quite the thing here in Germany and I don't know about
you Jörg but we're just so used to them here. Yeah, I always went to ice cream parlor when
I was a child. Yeah, in summertime so we have to go to one now. And we're here in Illingen
which is actually the town where I was born many many years ago and we haven't been to
this ice cream parlor so we're going to check it out. This is it. It's called Eiscafé Venetia
which is basically the name of every second ice cream parlor here in Germany. Let's have
a look. They seem to have a lot of choice.
I see they even have um, cakes like Strudel, Tiramisu.
But, drinks of course. Sandwiches.
Ice cream And as always although this is for children, I will have Spaghettieis, I'm quite
sure. Banana split, Bananensplit in German, so popular here.
Joghurt. What this? That's Joghurteis. Oh yeah, that's good as well.
Right! So Jörg went for chocolate banana split and this is a classic spaghetti ice
cream. So this is 7 Euros and this is 7.50.
This is the local church here in Illingen and I think it looks very nice. Yeah.
This is lovely. Very charming.
And although Illingen isn't very big, it has some lovely houses around the church.
Okay, I don't know how long it's been. No, of course I know how long it's been but we
haven't been here in ages because this is Burg Kerpen. Yeah, Jörg? Yeah, Burg Kerpen.
Burg Kerpen which is a castle ruin but we had our wedding pictures taken here. Yeah,
30 years ago. Yes. It's our wedding anniversary, our 30th in September. I can't believe it.
Yeah. I honestly can't believe it, yeah. And let's just film a little. Do you remember
the spots because there were several here? Yeah, next to the pond. So next to the pond
definitely but also also here somewhere. I don't know. I think.
I mean 30 years ago it's quite some time so you tend to forget although it was amazing.
And this is a very lovely restaurant so I think if people get married nowadays, they
will definitely have their wedding reception there. I just said like 30 years ago I think
the restaurant itself didn't exist. No. Probably the building did but not the restaurant.
Listen to the church bells.
This is a beer, right? Yeah. Look at this beer, it's called Schlappeseppel. I really
love it. You should get it for for England.
And this is where we are, It's called Theatercafé. Theatre Café.
Jörg ordered a Bavarian breakfast. Weißwürste - yeah - and a Laugenbrezel, Laugenstange.
Yeah.
And
this is called Cassistorte. By the way this is non-alcoholic Hefeweizen. Prost.
So what you need to do is you have to get that off. Here. Yeah, you have to peel off
the skin. Yeah.
And then enjoy. This is Landgasthof Köchlin and I think they have such a nice beer garden.
Let's see. So they have very traditional German food - yeah - although Jörg ordered something
from from Switzerland. Wurstsalat. Yes, it's basically a Swiss sausage salad. You'll see
what it is. Yeah, we will we will show you. And there are two versions. The Swiss one
with cheese and, let's say the Swabian one - yeah - with bread. Right. I took cheese.
Yes.
Swiss sausage salad, some bread and I ordered Nürnberger Rostbratwürstle.
Very German and fried potatoes and it's a lot. We need to share. Forgot to mention the
Sauerkraut here. This is the, well the perfect the perfect combination.
It's really good but you shouldn't have this every day. That would be extremely bad because
I think it's okay to enjoy it during a holiday.
What's it like? Mhhh. Is it good? This is from the area so you just have to try it.
I grew up with it. But with the Swiss version? Yes. Really? Both. Both versions.
Omas Rouladen. Yeah, my Mama's Rouladen. Rouladen, red cabbage, potatoes and well, brown sauce.
Brown sauce.
German at its best. Yes, ahh. In front of us is Café Schubert which is in Saarbrücken
and it's been here since 1950 so I've known it all my life. And this is where we have
Kaffee & Kuchen now. Kaffee & Kuchenzeit here at Café Schubert. We are so naughty. I feel
we are really bad.
I think we have to do a lot of exercise in between to burn all the calories. So in German
this is called Zwetschgenkuchen which is seasonal now. A cake with plums and whipping cream.
And this is eggnog, eggnog cake with well, basically whipping cream as well. Cappuccino
and a latte macchiato. But all of it is very delicious. I think it is.
That has to last now until Christmas. Hopefully only until Christmas. And I think it's very
vital for us that we do a lot of walking in between filming because it's absolutely necessary.
Yeah, so we'll start immediately when we're back in the UK. Yeah.
