German food in Dublin

What I do miss the most is Leberkaese and the Suelze. No way to copy this here - no Eisbein.
Good news if you have Polish shop with a proper meat section nearby:

Not sure if it's been mentioned here, but some of the Lidl's have bakeries now and the bread is as close to German bakeries as you'll get.
There is also a German guy that appears in Howth alot on Sunday's that cooks and sells Bratwurst and Currywurst, but he has a few German condiments and bits and pieces as well.
Now we just need a decent doner place 0 -

Have you got any details about that man who sells Bratwurst and Currywurst in Howth, please?
And about Doner, the Alpine Grill in Artane do a decent one :cool:0 -

Thanks a million!
Okay so will ask for golonka. Maybe they will cringe when I say this (polish is not an easy language), but there is a good butcher in Cork. Might try it there when we will be in Cork again. Kildare has only a poxy shop, the same in Portarlington.:mad:0 -

I tend to get the Zott-Yogurth song into my head. It's quite cheerful, though, and my dear other half is used to me singing silly little songs!
"Vollbepackt mit tollen Sachen, die das Leben schöner machen..."
Visited the first Dunnes Store today - no luck. It's a small enough shop, though, so off to a big one tomorrow. Galah, can you describe the packaging (colour, brand), please? I walked past the special cheese section several times as I was anxious to miss it...

Love the thing about the Russenladen. They were common in East Germany and you could get caviar and tuna there, which you would never see in any shop in East Germany.;)
Apart from the famous "Intershops", of course.
I miss chocolate from GDR-times. A lot has reappeared, but they were some small bars which I used to buy with my pocket money - I don't remember the name. I'd nearly kill to have them again, though!0 -

I'm Irish and have the Haribo song in German stuck in my head, always sing it whenever I see/hear Haribo... macht Kinder froh, und Erwachsense ebenso..
As for German food, badly in need of a decent doner shop. Other things I get in Germany is Gewurzsalz, found a spice mix here but something still doesn't taste right. Another thing is the small crispy fried onion pieces, I think they are Danish, but always pick up some when in Germany. Another thing can't seem to get here is mohnkuchen.0 -

it's very non-descript unfortunately - blue-white, like a Mueller's milk rice pot, but it says Quark in big letters on the top. That's all I can give ya ;-) It took me a while to find it in my Dunnes too - don't give up though! ;-)
prinz: for the fried onions, try IKEA - you might get lucky there! I know I got a pack there before (in Belfast though). Mohnkuchen you'd have to make yourself - not that difficult once you get Quark ;-P
Missing decent salty liquorice, too! (Katjes, and all the nice Danish liquorice ;-))0 -

Aber doch nicht "Schlager Süßtafel"
Nee, ganz gewiss nicht!
Actually, this thread prompted me to go and look for it. Did not find the little bar I would so love to taste again, but did come across another chocolate that I used to love as a child. Apparently, it's only been rediscovered a short while ago, so there's still hope for my bar.
And yes, family has been sent pictures of the above chocolate along with a request that it be purchased and sent over pronto.
Hier in Berlin gibt es noch sehr viele DDR Schokoriegel, Brotaufstriche, Im Nu "Kaffee", (habe sogar vor Kurzem Tempo Erbsen ind Tempo Linsen gesehen)
Ich weiß. Komm ja selbst aus der Hauptstadt! 0 -

Which bar is it? there's loads of "Ostprodukte" shops popping up here in the last while, maybe they have it
That's the problem - I don't remember the name. It was quite a flat bar, only about half a centimeter. About 5-6 cm long and divided into three pieces that could be broken off. It was milk chocolate with a white filling. The wrapping was thin silver or gold inside with a blue outside cover. In the middle of the blue cover was a kind of oval pic of something or other...might have a been a clown, dunno. Google has so far not even indicated that anybody else out there remembers this bar, let alone miss it.

Will ask the hubby later on, he might remember it0 -

I loved the Bambi chocolate. And the one with the crushed nuts in it. It is really funny how quick we forget!
Yea, the "West"-shops! Changing 10 East Mark to 1 DM. Crazy!!!:eek:0 -

rumour has it that there's a German food shop in Galway now - will check it out and report back (and if anyone manages to get there before me - please let us know what it's like! ;-))
Well, this makes it look very real indeed.
Hmm...looking at the e-mail address and the job description ("occasionally on markets all over Ireland") given there, I believe I have encountered "Ripps" only last weekend here in Limerick. They sold "German" Bratwurst at the annual French Market. Unfortunately, it wasn't particularly nice. Nor authentic. I hope that's not a sign of the overall quality... 0 -

@galah: The Asian supermarket in Westside (next to Aldi) stocks Malzbier - they even have several kinds!
@prinz: You get the crispy onion bits in Aldi when they do their American weeks. They sell them alongside hotdogs, American ketchup and so on. I always stock up, when they have them, use them as topping on Kässpätzle 0 -

F.A. hm....sent hubby to check it out (after rumours in the Galway forum ;-)) - he looked in, but didnt dare to go in since there was noone else in the shop, and he was afraid they'd speak German to him....hehehe ;-)
Connewitz: Hope you got lucky with your blueberries! We have ours in the full sun, not sure what the recommendation is, but ours are doing grand ;-)
I do know a woman in Newbridge. She is from Bavaria and here since 10 years. She told me, that the only authentic German food can be bought at the Sunday market at the O2. Was there once and they had German bread and cake. The rest was like at the French market.
No luck with blueberry plants so far. Where did you buy yours?
I was in Kildare, Johnstown, Newbridge and Emo. Nobody ever had blueberry plants. They all looked at me as if I was escaped from a lunatic asylum!
Hope you have more luck with the German food shop. Galway is just a little too far away from where I live.:mad:0 -

OH MY GOD, Pflaumenmus, really?? Have to scour the Polish shops again! Thanks for that!
We bought our plants in B&Q in Galway - it *might* not be the right season (I have no idea), but I'm pretty sure we bought ours last year in spring...I'll check it here again if you want!
Cheshire Cat: Great, thanks for the Malzbier tip! Will definitely check out that shop, go past there every day!0 -

Hi Folks,
Is there anybody out there missing German Sourdough bread?
So did I until I started baking it myself a few month ago. My mom was baking sourdough when I was a child so I had a chat with her and have now two thriving sourdough cultures. One rye (Roggen) and wheat.
To cut a long story short - I was asked if I would like to sell it on a new local food and farmer's market in Donabate. First I was a bit reluctant but then I thought I'll give it a shot! I offer a small range of sourdough loaves with flavours added by mixed seeds, herbs, roasted onion etc but also the good plain German Country Bread (Deutsches Landbrot)- Sourdough at it's purest. If you are interested, I have a facebook page called "Rebekka | Sauerdough" with some pictures and more info on it.
If you like, come along and try it. It's on every Saturday 10.30 - 15.00 in Donabate in front of the St. Patrick's Hall (in the middle of the village opposite the church). Donabate is on the M1, exit 4 - well signposted or on the northbound train to Dundalk/Drogheda, 25 mins from the City Centre.
Hope to see you there - I'll keep a sample for you!!! 0 -
