The Alex and Jim Show - Breakfast

[truvelocity]

Where's the soft boiled egg? LOL.  Yes, I'm familiar do to settlers from Europe who live here in Southern Cal. Very good food.

[ponyjumper618]

mmmm Nutella :)

[onepunchtyler]

Cafe extrablatt? noch nie gehört. Gibts die auch im norden?

[BillBuffalo1]

Wie viele Cafe Extrablatt hat Mainz eigentlich? Ich bin auch mal im Cafe Extrablatt gewesen aber es war 100%-ig nicht dieses.

[Neitschel]

@BillBuffalo1

Es gibt zwei. Eines am Schillerplatz und das andere inner Nähe vom Brand bzw. vom Höfchen.

[BillBuffalo1]

@Neitschel Vielen Dank für die Antwort.^^

[callalacork]

@BillBuffalo1 absolutely ... at least they are here in the Ruhrgebiet

[akaSIMONE]

Das extrablatt ist überall oO

[stonee206]

I am a norwegian, and every time we go on vacation, we get surprised over how little bread everyone eats! We eat bread for breakfast, lunch and supper useally... with cheese and meat on of course, but thats it

[Neitschel]

People in Mainz are very friendly in general. :)

[GunsOfThePhoenix]

I have a whole jar of Nutella ^_^

[Readsville]

I freaking love Alexandjim

[PenisMightierthnSwrd]

3 dislikes... are they just bitter about eating breakfast? 

[LadySeraph]

Get Nutella to sponsor you ^_^

[ItalynChicky]

Love this, thank you guys! I love Germany, the food, people, shopping, scenery, nightlife :) Am glad I found you guys on here :) Danke! xx

[likitalau]

ich liebe es....

[drobin3149]

No mush, porridge, oatmeal, muesli? Why not?

[asatru08]

Quark is really great. You can make from it Tzatziki or a sweet dessert with strawberrys, par example.

[LadyRavencide13]

Quark? all i can think of is physics and elementary particles, argh!!!

GEEK!

[RatifiedCow]

@LadyRavencide13 Ha...im on that right now XD

[LadyRavencide13]

watching this.....makes me very VERY hungry!! *nom*

[belliebelle]

My favorite videos are the ones where there is food involved. This and the candy video (which is my favorite) are great.

[klramon]

MAINZ?!?!? Extrablatt? Ich war dort! Schmeckt bestens.

[mariwon37]

a pop tart is a toster pastrie filled with dirfferent flavors like rasberry

[HomerJS24]

What is a " Pop Tart" ?

[CrackinJacks138]

@HomerJS24 google it

[HomerJS24]

Jims Brötchen hat was von einem Hot Dog...

[Otaku10669]

I went to a farmers market last September, and this one woman had Quark there! It had a very interesting flavor!

[lofosus]

For me Quark isn't cheese, because Quark taste different to cheese. Cheese is hart, but Quark is like cream. In cheese you put special milkbacteries and you matue this cheese for few years and let do the work of bacteries in the cheese. Quark you put milkbacteries oo, but you don't ripen it!

[MsAppleeater]

@lofosus in this video quark looks like cream but it usually is not creamy (unless you add cream), generally we have hard and soft cheese, often for production hard cheese we use rennet not bacteries, and for quark you don't need to add bacteries they are there, that's becuse you probably can not make that cheese in every part of the world (naturally) - different bacteries

[meikischneiki]

Quark is like Cottage Cheese! but without the strange consistancy:-)

i mean there are no funny little balls in it...:S

[lofosus]

And these less Peanutbutter are produced in the USA, because we haven't got any producer here.

[lofosus]

We have only less Peanutbutter in the store and nonone buy it.

[lofosus]

The Grman eats more Quark than the Swiss, because we eat more cheese. So we have less time to eat Quark, although we do eat Quark. Quark is delicious, too.

[lofosus]

I tried to eat Peanutbutter, but it don't taste me.

[MsAppleeater]

@lofosus I tried several times, without success

[lofosus]

Nutella is eating in the whole Europa. What peanutbutter is for the American is Nutella for us.

[MsAppleeater]

@lofosus nutella is very good but too sweet for breakfaest

[writerontheloose54]

Is the silverware multitasking a German thing? I've never seen someone eat with a spoon and hold their fork in the same hand as the spoon.

[skateschuette]

Quark is actually curd cheese.



[tommoore2012]

Is it me, or is Germany America's strongest ally? Because every once and a while I look at some tragic videos of our country to help me pay my respects, and whenever I see a comment from someone from another country saying how tragic it was, they're usually from Germany. Like on this one, watch?v=eCuuEJK5crM there are a lot of comments from Germany saying how horrible it was. And it was horrible :(

[tommoore2012]

I'm an American, and I have seen the Nutella every once and a while. And let me just say that it is really good, great for putting on a slice of bread, a treat, almost anything you can come up with. It's great to see that Americans can go to someone outside of our country and talk to without having to fear of being insulted so much.

[metalheadlass]

i'm hungry....nutella <3

[jannikmt]

a LOT of things from germany are being exported to the usa....aldi nutela etc....

[Killerkarpfen1990]

Ui Extrablatt am Dom =)

Grüße von einem Mainzer.

[satanic666sonic]

i often go to that cafe to read a book and to have a couple of coffees! great show by the way!

[C3P0meetsData]

Dude. They had Nutella in ketchup packets when I went to Germany. It was perfect.

Starbucks needs to jump on that.

[MsAppleeater]

no one drink water for breakfast in Europe, you forgot about most important thing - coffee !

and nutella, I think, is mainly for kids

[protapirus]

@MsAppleeater nutella is eaten by people of all ages in germany. not just kids.

[Kuhupi]

Also die Mühe den Mainzer Dom zu filmen hättet ihr euch ruhig noch machen können, ihr habt ja direkt draufgeschaut. ^^

Trotzdem cooles Video!

[aNNx1ety]

mainz :D

now mainz definitely is famous ^^

[anteracmacash]

during my stay in Stuttgart in Germany I had the best breakfast EVER !!!

die brotchen waren das besste !!!

[BARONSCHWARZWALD]

so would you say german meals are generally lighter than american meals?

[BobKelso2010]

@BARONSCHWARZWALD I'm from Germany and i think YES. And more helthy, not so much calories

[CAR18MEN]

they didn't even mention the southern phenomenon of GRITS!!!!!

[thahustla19]

yooo!!! I know you from Internationale Beziehungen ;-) cool show!

[XcuseZeRo]

extrablatt! i love it

[Heatherific182]

nutella is amazing. Who ever created it is a saint lol

[NathanderGr0sse]

ach ich vermiss frühstücken in deutschland sooo viel. sie haben aber müesli und die gebäcke vergessen, die vermisse ich überalles

[blizzardkb]

Gotta love that Creative Commons license!

[ArcanusLittera]

Yeeeaaaa....Poptarts! I`m from Germany and I really miss Poptarts cause (as you know) you can`t buy them here in Germany...what a shame!

I will take some more with me when I go home to Germany. Last time my case was too small :(

[Wizzman101]

@ArcanusLittera U can buy thm in the UK to :)

[Jointi5]

@ArcanusLittera hey mate, you can find poptarts @ almost every REWE :).

[dhfhdfhd]

I really wanna go to america soon but i really miss german food, especially the bread.

[kiwischeisse]

Awesome to see you guys back on deck missed you so much! Hey I wish I would know how to make Quark I miss that stuff her Down-Under and there is no way to get it. Find out and shoot a video! Otherwise: keep on rolling.

Cheers

Bodo

[heissacht]

Glad you guys are still making videos! Good luck finding a sponsor! Thanks for all you do!

Nutella is everywhere around here! Love it!

[tweetlebugzz]

thanks for the video

[dodgerdodgerbubodger]

"a breakfast sandwich of goodness"?

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

[TheNickiepie]

nutella is crack for me XD

[dineloh86]

@TheNickiepie

Ich tendiere eher zu Nusspli. ^^

[1029blue]

I would say it depends on the type of Quark (= "curd cheese"). "Magerquark" is very sour, which is why it can be used to make certain types of bread without using yeast. I think Alex is refering to "Sahnequark", which has more cream than actual Quark. I miss Quark. There's nothing like German cheesecake made with Quark. :)

[MsAppleeater]

@1029blue Quark is also very popular in other countries, it's often basic of my breakfast, I looks that they've never heard about it, don't they have cheesecake in the US??? 

[1029blue]

@MsAppleeater American cheesecake is completely different. It's made with cream cheese. I've never had it, so I wouldn't know what it tastes like, but I'm a big fan of German cheesecake. :) I've tried to substitute the Quark with a mix of sour cream and ricotta and it came out "okay" but it wasn't perfect.

[MsAppleeater]

@1029blue you can make quark by yourself it's rather easy

[1029blue]

@MsAppleeater Yeah, I know. I found a whole bunch of recipes for it. I just think it's too much of a hassle and too expensive (at least, if one uses buttermilk, as suggested in some recipes).

[Hoor4Y]

loool im pretty often there!

[FayeValentine666]

forgot eggs benedict. I dont know what that is tho.

[wbleece]

I want nutella now :)

[lebensbraum5]

OK

like ive been watching this show for awhile, but i want to know how alex and jim found each other

exchange student?

long lost relative?

anybody know?

[yankbastard]

@lebensbraum5

Online dating service....just kidding.

[yankbastard]

So in Germany, a typical American lunch is a German breakfast?

[chemiealex]

I don't think so ;-)

[Giesen93]

ich habs nich ganz verstanden, was ist ein brötchen in englisch?

[mk2hot4dis]

what nutella?? Ive seen it here in NY but I didnt look at it. Lol

[ItsMe490]

try it, you will get addicted! Really great stuff ;-)

[ErikWithBrain]

Does Jim have a large glass of still water with ICE? Is this the Twilight Zone?

[klowety]

Kobe Bryant was a paid spokesman for Nutella until he was accused of rape, his picture was on the jar until........2002? up until the time he confessed that he "had sex" with the accuser.

[Knuddelmuffin]

How fckin' great is that? Mainz is my home town and the last few weeks I missed it pretty much. (I live in Dublin at the moment). So it's grand to see 'my' town in your show.

Vielen Dank :) I hope you enjoyed it over there =)

[BoehseMomo]

Yeah dasextrablatt....ich lieb unsers in Aachen

und das in frankfurt

[CrazyKaulitzLover]

i so wanna b on ur show one day n go to germany with u

[Streif337]

I love your show. You guys are funny and pretty much professional!

Can't wait for more stuff :)

[diporavi]

good to see you're back :)

[HeathFeath182]

oh god i LOVE nutella. It is getting pretty popular here in the US

ich liebe Deutschland! :D

[7Lolaa]

Nutella!! lecker!

it is also pretty popular in Mexico.

I have a jar at home ^^

[damnitw]

You dont have Quarck in the usa???

strange^^

[redneck434]

aren't we?

[damnitw]

i don't know they said so

[CrazyVicious]

Nutella is big in the US in all of the major cities. When if first became popular you could only really find it at Farmer's Markets with International influence.

[MissTrickster]

that breakfast looks sooooo good xD cant wait for the next vids :D

[nitachan2]

just so you know Quark is a fresh cheese XD

in germany it's used for cheese cake. So maybe you should have gotten the stuff americans use for cheese cake, to make your eeer thing taste like Quark Alex ^_~

[xXxRebelVxXx]

as unusual as food in a German breakfast is to me (an American) ..... it looks really good!!

[avredetaje]

great...now I'm addicted to your vids again...which is a...good thing I believe? ^^

[Concept300]

Extrablatt... ich wusste gar nicht, dass es das noch irgendwo anders gibt.

[damnitw]

das gibts überall^^

[daglug1]

What was the name of the song on the other video? It went like " bitte gib Mir amor algo"

[gotcorrupted]

Wir sind Helden - Bitte gib mir nur ein Wort

[sandilib]

Kein Kaffee?........

[daizygrl]

Great to see you guys back!! And thanks for telling us why your other page is gone....the suspence was killin' me.

Cheers from Palm Beach, Fl

[SCHOUSI]

are you on itunes again??

[SamPD2]

Another great video! If you don't mind, can you compare German video games to American? I am curious how the two would compare.

[Tokiiolicious]

wo sind die frühstückseier? :O

udn marmelade?

und honig???

MÜSLI? =OOOO

[feuerrabe]

Ein deutsches Frühstück ohne Frühstücksei?! :-) Das würde ich aber einen ordentlichen Faux pas nennen. Ich hätte doch zu gern gesehen wie Jim versucht ein Ei auszulöffeln, haha!

[Fritz1602]

wann kommt die nächste Episode!? xD

when will the next episode appear!? xD

[PrincessAgnetha]

when ive been to the US i really liked their breakfast- mostly eggs and bacon or stuff like Jim said- i think they eat a lot more hot meals there.

just my own opinion but i like peanut butter better than nutella :P - i was pretty surprised to see that over there though

great videos guys! Your doing a really good job! Danke!!

--

Anna

[firu1012]

I love your videos!

Im learning german and i'm planning to study there!

I told my german teacher about you (The other channel) And she love it too!

[xxmyxchemxx09]

Aaaww. I miss the little song in the beginning T_T

[Asssssss0]

Danke, jetzt hab' ich Hunger ^_^

[chickengeorg123]

extrablatt! extrablatt! alexandjim are fantastic

[easthouse86]

aber auch nur im Ruhrgebiet und um Münster rum. In Westfalen, Sauer- und Siegerland gibts fast keine. Das erklärt auch warum ich die noch nie gesehen hab, ist eher nen regionales Phänomen.

[TTrevolverheldTT]

never heared of cafe extrablatt in Bremen

[LolliLenna]

yay! nutella! :)

[xXEl9NinoXx]

there is an extrablatt in every bigger city.

[easthouse86]

mhm I checked there homepage, so i must be blind there are often to find in NRW, but there only there really big, in the rest of germany you gonna have a hard time to find them. But its weird that I never see one of them.

[xXEl9NinoXx]

ok i didn't check the page, but i assumed that they are very common throughout germany because starting at my home town, i can get to 3 extrablatts within 30 minutes. i'm sorry.

[iknowchristalena]

Awesome video guys! Glad to see you back. I love German bread rolls they rock. Though I have eaten lunch meat for breakfast, I am weird I eat anything that is around for meals, I don't really care if it is "breakfast" or "dinner" food really. I think you guys should do a videos on public transportation or recycling, I think those are pretty different in both countries.

[derfunkY]

brunch is not breakfast , breakfast is not brunch !!

breakfast for me is a jam bread coffee or tea! all the other things like eggs is brunch (too much to prepare)

[easthouse86]

I would be very intrested from witch part of germany alex is, because im from NRW and i never heared from "Cafe Extrablatt". Also I never heared from "Man hat schon Pferde kotzen sehen" (Idioms 2 episode).

[suicidecrew]

There is a cafe extrablatt here in Münster, NRW

[Longknife]

Osnabrück, too.

The British hang out there.

[Teddydoctor666]

der spruch ist doch altbekannt oO

[Skymaker91]

Die sind in NRW ziemlich oft vertreten, in Münster 2mal, in Hamm... ich würd sagen in jeder größeren Uni-Stadt ;) Ist ganz okay da.

[sdkintheusofa]

Nutella, my weekend breakfast friend :)

[niamejia]

I loved it... especially 'cause I'm moving to Mainz soon :)

[volfire1]

Hey guys, another great segment. Even though we can find Nutella here in the US. I still have to bring back a jar from Germany. My friend here says it always tastes better direct from Germany. Will you ever do any shows about the difference between northern and southern Germany?

[ErklaerMirDieWelt]

Hey Guys,

it's so good to see you back! I'm sorry your company thing didn't work out in the end.

What did you pay for that huge breakfast? Was it an all you can eat sort of thing? Maybe I'll take a look at the café when I'm in Mainz for the next time :)

One thing I'd like to know about is the differences between Germany and the US regarding university. Somehow I didn't quite figure out the american system yet.

All the best to you!

Janey

[usulsk]

looks like you already found some sponsors: extrablatt and nutella. hopefully, that was not "schleichwerbung"

[jacktheripper509]

Thank you!!!!

[velisica]

Hey, one thing that would be interesting to see is what text-lingo or shorthand is popular in Germany as opposed the US, like btw, rofl, brb, asap, rsvp just stuff like that...

I was hoping that maybe when German and American holidays come around, if you could explain the traditions and stuff, for example Halloween in the US (not so much in Germany) and Fasching or Karnival in Germany but Mardi Gras in the US, just stuff like that...

[DaTommyGirl]

awesome video!

how funny that I'm now off to meet up with friends in an "extrablatt" for breakfast!

thanks guys for the videos!

xo.

[nowis1977]

yes, thx. looking forward to. great job :-)

[sasuke01uchiha]

Okay, so maybe I live under a rock or something...but what exactly is Nutella? Is it just like a spread or something? Like a hazelnut spread? I think I may know what it is, but I'm not sure.

Anyway, thank you guys, Alex and Jim, for continuing to make videos! They are so interesting and I really enjoy watching them. My two favorite countries in the world :D and I love seeing the differences between them.

[Ivilacutie15]

ohh my GAWD....NUTELLA!!!

omg. :D

1 very very important question.

will u guys have the show on itunes??

i really really loved the mobility of u guys on my ipod & i wanted to know if u'll be back on itunes!

[AlexandJim]

hey lvilacutie15, we will be back on itunes but currently we have not set up a podcast. That should be happening within the next wk or so.

Best

Alex and Jim

[Ivilacutie15]

ohh thanks ! :D

i love u guys !

its my dream to live in germany :D

[cancorse]

NUTELLA!!!

i love that stuff!!!

i put it on my bread... on crepes i make god im addicted to that stuff lol

[laur328]

It's great to have you guys back. I'm surprised Jim was able to order that huge water without the waiter giving him a dirty look. I always got those looks when I did that in Austria and Germany.

[XxLondonLeipzigxX]

what mofo's >:(

but yay for youguys *nuckle touch*

I love your videos!

[AndreR241]

Thanks for the very interesting show and I wish that you find a sponsor very soon! And it seems that Jim have reinvented the Hamburger THE GERMAN WAY :P. Just kidding!

You've forgot the Müsli nevertheless it's a Swiss invention. And what about jam and honey? You also should make a video about the whole bunch of pastry-stuff in Germany.

[amberstar91890]

Thank you so much for still helping us learn about the difference between Germany and the States even without a sponsor and taking the time out of your days to do it. A lot of people really appreciate it, I know I do, so Danke schön!

[tahaxx14]

that sandwich looks good :P

but for breakfast I usually have waffles or a poptart :)

[93menS93]

zu geil wie jim das brötchen voll packt...

the amerikan way of eating a german breakfast^^

[OakRidgejet]

Nice to have you back guys!!!!

-JK from California

[LosingGrip5]

i love the german breakfast tradition. when i was in america we would only eat breakfast on sundays (but then it was the real deal with pancakes, biscuit & gravy, ... which was good too)

[xRealKar0]

kommt ihr auch nach berlin?

wenn ja; wann und wo? :)

[z1pfL]

nice, new videos, was waiting for new videos for month :P

[itsbone141]

when you order a boiled egg in our extrablatt and you want it over easy, you'll get a hard one. anyway, good vid, keep it going..

[maudTH]

Go nutella!

Doesn't really taste like chocolate at all, but i love it ^^

[armywife4life78]

Nutella isn't supposed to taste like chocolate, it is hazelnut

[maudTH]

yeah but it's chocolate and hazelnut and all you taste is hazelnut and sugar

[adamuk888]

we need to bring more people to this channel guys, its a little quiet at the moment :)

[germanboy686]

Nah, you call this quiet?

Quiet, would be zero comments and no views :D

[adamuk888]

haha ye i suppose but near to the end of the GvU channel there were a lot of subscribers and viewers, i would like to see it back that way some day :D

[Mogotabogo]

i also like the extrablatt, but i think the one at schillerplatz is better ;-)

[TheMrKaltspiegel]

hopefully you will get a Sponsor soon *laugh

*

Just make USA vs. Germany *laughfalsh*

[DerBesteJohnny]

wie der alex guckt als jim sein "sandwhich" macht... ziemlich bemfremdend

[bethandbeyond]

Yay more Germany vs. USA.

A sandwich for breakfast, that is different.
