Hello everyone!
Greetings from Leipzig, Germany, I'm here with my friend, Nadine, of Hey Nadine.
Hello!
And as people who like to try to keep up with a vegan lifestyle
And are vegan
Yeah!
It's hard to do that sometimes when you are travelling but...
We just so happen to be in Leipzig, Germany, which is the supposed vegan capital of Germany.
And we're going to go around the city and try some vegan food.
German Vegan food
We are at Curry&Co and we are going to eat some traditional German food.
But with a twist.
Oh yes
Because these are vegan curried bratwurst
Mmhmm and they look so good!
I love the smell of curry.
Yeah, we got mild curries.
So there were different spice levels.
There was like a medium, mild, and hot.
Yeah and then you can get other sauces as well but like Currywurst is like, curry sauce
is the traditional way of eating it.
Let's do it!
The sauce is good.
It is not hot at all.
I thought it would be a little bit spicier but it's good.
There is a lot of tomato in it.
I've had regular meat sausage before or a hot dog and it tastes very similar.
I would not be able to tell the difference.
Let's try this baby!
The sauce is very good for a fake sausage.
Very like, good texture, nice taste, but very delicious!
I approve!
I very much approve.
I have my meat sausage and my vegan sausage.
I'm going to compare both and see.
The meat sausage is what you would expect.
Tastes like meat; juicy, flavorful, delicious meat.
Now the vegan option.
It looks like meat.
I would not say it is as juicy but it is still good.
It's still delicious.
So I have a pretzel sauté burger.
I think it is technically considered a burger but it looks like a type of peanut sauce with
actual peanuts.
We have some lettuce and tofu.
It looks like a fried tofu on a pretzel bagel.
Are you ready for this?
I am so ready!
Between the peanuts and the bagel, it is very crunchy.
It just tastes like a peanut butter bagel.
It just tastes like peanut butter, like a really rich peanut butter in a bagel.
It is really good!
I have a pretzel bagel, which is very German, but it has a little twist.
It is a cheeseburger but it's vegan so there is a lot of twists happening here.
Twist, bagel, get it?!
Ahhh!
But the inside looks ridiculous.
There is this amazing patty, lettuce, we have tomato, we have sweet potato, we have vegan
cheese, pickles, and onions.
That is a lot.
Mmm!
It tastes like a pizza!
That is weird right?
I am having a moment.
It is salty, it is crunchy, it is warm.
There is also a little bit of moisture because of the wet lettuce and tomato.
There are so many vegan options in this city and all of it has been so good so far.
This one gets like a good 9 out of 10 I think.
We are at this really cool place where they have vegan döner.
Döner?
[00:04:32.22] Nadine: Voner!
Vöner!
Vöner for vegan doner.
Oh vöner.
I get it.
While döner is not German, it is very popular here and I have never seen a rotisserie with
faux meat before.
I am pretty excited.
A faux rotisserie.
It was pretty impressive.
All right, Kristen!
What do we have?
So we have the same thing.
Same thing, presented differently.
We got a cheesy, garlicky, herb vöner.
And you have a...
I have garlic sauce, hot sauce, and tomato sauce; there is cabbage, tomatoes, cucumbers,
onions.
Here we go!
Woah.
That is so good.
It is really meaty.
Oh my god!
That is good!
I am so stoked now.
The spices that are in it are perfect.
The texture is like super meaty.
It would definitely fool a meat eater and the sauces are very nice.
The hot sauce and the garlic sauce are a great combination.
This is huge!
All right.
This should come with instructions.
Struggling!
There is some food porn right there.
The herbs on the bread make it like this really nice focaccia and the faux cheese sauce...
wow.
Wow!
Wow wow wow!
Vegan döner.
I have a craving for meat right now so I'm hoping that this satisfies my craving.
Mmm!
That's not meat?
It tastes and feels like meat.
I could go vegan if my meat felt and tasted like meat.
I could eat this no problem.
