Question

i wanna impress her by making a drink or food in german style could be anything that i could make fo her.... could u give any recipie.... but then it should be easy... im bad at cooking

Answer 1

Germans do not eat a traditional American style breakfast. They eat a muslix type of cereals, with hard rolls, croissants ( or any fresh breads), deli-style meats and cheeses. The heavy meal is lunch with the schnitzels, wursts, chix, ham hocks, and such. I've been living here for the past 5 years, and that is what I've noticed.

Answer 2

Being a German, living outside of Germany, I must tell you, that your idea is great, but hard to realize.
Additionally there are a lot of regional differences in Germany regarding food. While in southern Germany a rye sourdough bread will be usual there are regions preferring the black bread (Pumpernickel) and others preferring white flour wheat bread. Here in NZ the best "german style bread" I could find isn't even called german style, while other "german style or bavarian style" breads are not german at all.
Some regions of Germany add caraway seeds to some bread while others wouldn't do that at all (I like caraway seeds, but hate it in bread).
The next thing about German bread: it is really hard to get a good German style bread outside of Germany. Celebrities like Steffi Graf and others living outside of Germany stated, that the thing they miss most is German bread. Ask a German living in your area where you can get one.
But also like everywhere in the world, every person is different. While I like fresh juice, Müsli and eggs for breakfast, my wife doesn't like it. The best coffee would be using a plunger.
While some like bacon or cheese for breakfast, others prefer Marmelade or Honey. The typical german marmelade again is different.
I personally would find it hard to prepare a typical German breakfast outside of Germany. So I wouldn't dare to try it. But Germans are usually open minded to food. Especially if they are living in a foreign country. So why don't you just prepare the best breakfast you can, without caring if it is german or not?

Good luck

Answer 3

I may not be the best person to answer this question, as I am danish - but at least Denmark is one of Germanys neighbours...

This is a typical german breakfast:
Müsli with warm milk. Cheeses, cold sliced meats (eg ham, salami), softboiled egg, marmelades (plum, apricot), honey, ryebread and wheat bread, apple juice, herbal teas.
All you have to do is boil an egg! (For softboiled app 6 min)

If you want to impress her, bake your own bread. Rye bread is healthy and really delicious. Real rye bread is made with sour dough, but I found this easier recipe:

2 pk yeast; active dry
1/2 cup ;warm water
1 1/2 cups milk; lukewarm
2 tbsp. sugar
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup molasses
2 tbsp. butter
3 1/4 cups rye flour; unsifted
2 1/2 cups bread flour; unsifted

Dissolve yeast in warm water. In a large bowl combine milk, sugar, and salt. Use a mixer to beat in molasses, butter, yeast mixture and 1 cup of rye flour. Use a wooden spoon to mix in the remaining rye flour. Add white flour by stirring until the dough is stiff enough to knead. Knead 5 to 10 minutes, adding flour as needed. If the dough sticks to your hands or the board add more flour. Cover dough and let rise 1 1 1/2 hours or until double. Punch down dough and divide to form 2 round loaves. Let loaves rise on a greased baking sheet until double, about 1 1/2 hours. Preheat oven to 375° F. Bake for 30-35 minutes. Makes 2 round loaves.


Have a look at the second link, it is a selection of german recipes, by an american who was stationed in Germany. There are a few nice ones, that you can try (thats where I found the rye bread recipe).

Good luck. I am sure she will appreciate the effort no matter how it turns out.

Answer 5

I think getting a takeaway and perhaps getting to know each other is a good idea on the friday night. On the Saturday you should have a big family lunch, go to your local shopping centre or to a near by attraction like Thorpe Park or London Eye if it isn't too rainy and dont worry about the evening because TV is good (and easy to follow) on a satuday night (britains got talent!). Sunday is the perfect opportunity to have a good sunday roast and perhaps go for a walk (weather depending!) Good luck and enjoy your time together.

Answer 6

I can't tell you about breakfast, but jager snitzel is really good.

Basically, instead of using veal, I use pork cutlet, lightly seasoned with salt and pepper, and fried until done and golden brown.

Separately, make a pork (or beef) gravy with onions and green peppers in it. That's to go over the top of the snitzel on the plate. Since you said you can't cook very well, then try the gravy in jars and add onions and peppers to it and simmer for about 15 minutes.

Good luck!

Answer 7

yes..the German breakfast..is simple..
cereal yes..
but if you want to impress go to your bakery and pick up assorted fresh buns, bagels, some whole grain buns, and (with lots of grains )..
then go into the dairy..and get a cream cheese with fruit in it.
then a jar of jam (with triple fruit) and
some peanut butter..
some yogurts...
and some fresh fruit, bananas, oranges, melon
and do up a nice table setting with the platters and baskets.
presentation of this....is important..
make it simple......
for a beverage.......go into the juices and pick up a nice apple or orange..with 100% pure in the label.

you can also buy bottled coffee (eg Starbucks and it is yummy)

since it is just 2 people..
do not get lots.......just enough for 2...and you can cut the buns, breads ..in half......and put them in sealable baggies for another time...maybe lunch..

good luck..

"Shinken mit Eier"

Answer 10

i'm german...
you would make MY day, by serving me WAFFLES for breakfast. Instead of topping them with syrup, serve them with butter and strawberry jelly.
...and a hot cup of strong coffee.
