The dark spots in what you bought at the bakery are poppy seeds, called "Mohn" in German. "Capri Sun" is German, formerly known as "Capri Sonne". They changed the product name when they started to export it, so it would easier sell in foreign countries. It has already been there when I was a child. (during the 60ies!) "Bitte nicht!" translates to "please don't!" I love the way you explore everything, and yes, compared to your last year trip you are braver now. And it is great to see you informed yourself about the Cologne Cathedral before visiting it. Taking the time to dive a bit deeper in what they see is unfortunately something lots of tourists don't do. It must have been hard to overcome your fear of hights, I am proud of you!

Sauerbraten was a farmer's Sunday meal. Traditionally (way back) it was made from horse meat. You know, when a horse got too old to work on a farm, when it got 'salvaged', it was one TOUGH cut of meat. To both preserve it during times without a refrigerator, and make it somewhat less tough, it was submerged in a brine made of red wine vinegar plus herbs and spices for between three to five days. That broke down the collagen and proteins in the meat, made it tender, and it preserved the meat at the same time. It was then taken out, patted dry, given a nice coat of crust. The brine fluid was sieved clean of any herbs and spices, and used to create a sauce, especially if it was made with red wine instead of red wine vinegar. To sweeten the very stringent, tart sauce raisins were added as a cheap alternative to honey or sugar. The whole roast was then again submerged in the sauce and slow braised for several hours depending on its size. Yes, it is a bit of an acquired taste, agreed. Today the cut used is beef chuck roast. This dish goes really well with the potato dumplings, plus red cabbage.

The fact that you are now taking such an expensive trip for the second time shows how great your interest is, especially in our beautiful Germany and our neighboring countries. The fact that you find out about sights in advance is very intelligent, then you see what you know from information with much more alert eyes. Experiencing the world away from your own home is worth more than all the material goods in this world. I think you are on the right path through your life. Don't let the criticism of your use of cutlery annoy you, the main thing is to enjoy the food, Amen. I wish you many more interesting trips and experiences in your life and look forward to getting further insights into them.😉👍

One interessting fact about Köln: Before Worldwar-2 about 3/4 million people lived in Köln. When the US-army moved in in spring 1945 they estimated about 300 houses that were still standing and in a shape to live in. So they made a plan to rebuild a new city on open fields. But, due to the fact that the cathedral was still standing, the remaining inhabitants and those who came back from all over the place, decided: "As long the cathedral is still standing, Köln remains." Than within the years of 1950 and 1960 Köln was more or less completely rebuild. Main purpose in these days was to build a 'car-friendly city' (Same in most bigger german cities). So the plans for rebuiling were made and huge/wide citystreets were planed, were old blocks and neighbourhoods have been developing since the year 0, when Köln was founded. The shape of Köln you can see today is the result of all of the destruction and the way one thought about a 'modern, car friendly city' in the 1950ths and 1960ths.

If you want to have another dose of the history of Cologne: Right next to the Dom is the Roman Germanic Museum. Emperor Nero's mother, Iulia Agrippina, was born in Cologne, probably in a house that stood close to where the museum is today. Hence the Roman name of the city: Colonia Claudia Ara Agrippinensium. Also, according to legend, Cologne was saved from the huns by 10000 virgins, led by St. Ursula, who scared away the huns (yeah, right...). Cologne got rich by selling the abundant bones from the cities Roman cemeteries as relics of these virgins, and a bizarrely large collection of such bones is kept in St Ursula's church in the Golden Chamber, a large room entirely decorated with human bones and skulls.

Hi Jps, I'm really enjoying your videos and how natural and honest your style is. In five or ten years' time you'll probably be living in Europe, a seasoned traveller, fluent in German and French, and you'll rewatch these videos and hoot about how innocent you were with the different cultures and cuisines. You'll also be very helpful in cafes and restaurants to young American tourists about how to order beer etc. Happy travels!

Oh my goodness Joel😊 It’s such a joy to watch you on your way to explore Köln. You are so well behaved and also very cute saying some german words here and there😂 I know how hard the german language is to learn, but you’re doing so well. Keep going😊 I grew up in Denmark only 20 miles from the german border, so I speak german just as well as my own language. English as well. Some french, spanish, polish and scottish too. Foreign languages and countries have always been of great interest to me. Once you started you can never quite get enough, right😅 Keep it up Joel and have a good one😁

Hello Joel. It was forty years ago that I was there, younger than you, but it seemed like yesterday watching the video. Good that you tried the German food this time. It is good quality, but I look at the Wurst meal and now I am fancying good old bangers and mash. You can get quality if you know where to shop. In Heidelberg I asked a street vendor to make sure there was no pork in the delicious Rindwurst, for my friend who could not eat that. The seller was offended until I pointed out it might have had in UK. "Engländer!" he said laughing and his mood changed entirely.

I'm very glad you are more adventurous this time. The Mohnschnecke (Poppy Seed-Snail) from the bakery is with poppy seeds. Cakes and sweets snacks with poppy seeds are seen often in germany. To the beer: Even between the different beer types in germany, there are hundreds of different breweries and brands 😉 But i'm glad you liked our Bratwurst with Potato Salad. Indeed a bit weird that he filled up when you still had half a glass left. I'm afraid of heights too, but you got a really beautitul view from the cable car!!!

Awesome video, I love watching your stuff! I enjoy how much you enjoy experiencing the unknown 😊 You wondered why the "same beer" tastes so different - it is not! Kölsch is not a brand, it is a certein type of beer that must have been brewed in or around Köln (hence the name). But almost every Brauhaus (wich literally means brewery) brews their own! There are dozens of different Kölschs out there.

I’m from the region and moved to southern Europe a couple of years ago. If I tell you I regularly miss - specifically - sauerbraten :’) Ah and also: there’s about 30 different types of Kölsch. I’d say the most known ones are Gaffel, Früh, Mühlen, Sion and Reissdorf. Depending on what they served you the first and the second day, they can indeed taste quite different. Hope you enjoy your trip!
