Yes, and I forgot about Hackepeter! Raw, minced pork meat with S&P and onions for breakfast! Or the tartar version with raw beef. I don't know what you think or know about me but my friends and family know that I love steaks (blue) and game meat, and fish. One of my signature dish is rabbit, and my Buletten are old school style-Grandma's recipe, with a touch of my new style (mixing it with avocado, Feta, apple or whatever). I'm not playing when it comes to food- even when I hate it, like the Sauerbraten I made for my Man. He's still bothering me to do it again-he's not an OG from Berlin, and not from the Rheinland but still loves his disgusting Sauerbraten. Took me days to prepare and cook that stuff. Never again! Maybe for his next birthday but NO.. Long story short: Nobody will take our meat away from us. Our diet is heavy with meat. I applaud the move to use less meat, and in particular not wasting it! My Sunday roast, will get you a meal, some sandwiches for the week, and the bones will give me a nice Brühe for my next stew.

Don't trust foreign news sources on a whim. Those 4 universities, representing all of Berlin are likely to be Öko Schabracken Hochburgen, like alice solomon Hochschule for example, which is private and not State, and breeds those militant Öko-Vegan C's.

This Turk-German comedian had a brilliant take on those lost people. I live in one of those areas occupied by them. See them everyday with their ugly cabbage patch doll looking kids. Not gonna attack kids but they usually don't look healthy. This are the same people who are forcing their animals (cats and dogs!) to go vegan.: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TuyWpqrnFbs

Sauerbraten

Had that when I lived in Aschaffenburg, but wasn't particularly impressed. I'm wondering if that comes from a time when meat would go bad and the marination would extend its usable lifespan?

Sauerkraut, on the other hand, is a favorite. I made my last batch with two large sliced Jalapenos in each quart jar.

I do heavily marinate meat when I'm making beef jerky, with a mix of soy and worcestershire sauces, along with hot pepper powder and several other spices.

sorry, I'm late with my response. I'm 100% with you about not so tasty Sauerbraten and preserving meat.

Back then peope didn't have the chemicals or technology to make meat and vegetables last longer. Throughout mankind's history people have found ways to preserve food- pickled, smoked, vinegar.. I follow a great YouTube channel teaching us how to make marmalade or jam from scratch, and the best ways to preserve it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGBoQUbDosQ. I freaking love Steffie! She's passing on knowledge that will be otherwise lost in our fast food/ pre-prepared, wasteful food society. That's how our ancestors have done it to get over the harsh winters, and I've the feeling that those forgotten skills will be needed again very soon.

I like oldschool recipes and preserving techniques-one of the greatest gift my grandmothers past on to me. I love that I've met a follow food from scratch enthusiast on Saidit-out of all the Intertweb places I visit!

I've never made Sauerkraut on my own. It's mostly used as a side dish over here but the Bavarian version is to die for. They eat it as a main and I don't even know how they make it. What I'm good at is my Rotkohl with apple, onions, cloves, goose or pork lard, cinnamon, a splash of cranberry or plum marmalade. A fantasy of mine is to have a little shop-Grandma's Kitchen, and serving traditional German food. It is a shame that we eat more foreign food (not that it's not good) and young people don't even know how to cook. I'd love to host seminars for kids, inviting the dying old school generation to share their knowledge. My grandmothers taught me how to go in the woods collecting berries and making jam, or bread. I envy my friends who know about mushrooms and collecting them.

There's also a website with people offering their fruits and salads on their properties for free to collect.

I only know about 20 German words, but watched to the end. Steffie is cool.

Ha, is that me? I mean, kind of, but what else would you do?

Rotkohl with apple, onions, cloves, goose or pork lard, cinnamon, a splash of cranberry or plum marmalade.

Not sure about the cranberry or plum, but the rest is doable tomorrow. I happen to have some red cabbage needing attention.

Grandma's Kitchen

I like it. Retail to the public isn't what it used to be, but I would be happy if you were able to make that happen.
