What Do Germans Eat Everyday? | Easy German 635

Summary

In Münster, host Isi asks people what they have eaten, what they eat regularly, what they keep in the fridge, and what they plan to eat later. Their answers include home-cooked meals, quick meals, snacks, and traditional bread-based meals.

Meals and cooking routines

Meals mentioned include chili con carne with rice and salad, pasta with prawns or sardines, oatmeal with fruit, pancakes, sandwiches, currywurst with fries, and Käsespätzle. One person had brownies and coffee for breakfast, while another made a shake with banana, nuts, and oats.

Several interviewees cook for themselves, often choosing simple combinations such as pasta, rice, vegetables, and eggs. One person makes pasta with sardines about once a week. Others said they do not always eat a hot meal.

Regular foods and fridge staples

Bread and rolls, cheese, butter, jam, yogurt, quark, eggs, and milk came up repeatedly. Some people also keep sausage or ham, pickles, fruit, or seasonal vegetables from their gardens.

Meal planning

Dinner plans ranged from a shared-flat curry made with leftover vegetables to pork loin with rosemary potatoes and Brussels sprouts, chicken in mushroom cream sauce, and Indian-style curry with rice. One household uses an Excel spreadsheet to plan meals for the week, while others decide spontaneously.

One household uses HelloFresh several times a week. Another interviewee said they try to have an approximately 800-calorie oat-and-nut shake for breakfast, especially around exercise, as part of an effort to lose weight. One person was about to take a night train to the Alps for a holiday and had not yet decided what to eat.
