The Roundwood Inn in Roundwood, Co. Wicklow is owned by a German couple and they have a German head chef.

Always seems a bit odd to be in an Irish bar and see Brathering and Gulaschsuppe on the menu
Tends to be a good place for Wild (game) during the season too. 0 -

Tesco do those 'Meisterhof Frankfurters', a 10 pack of them lasts maybe 5 minutes...including heating them up
But Schnitzel? Where can I get them? I sometimes go to Lidl in Cork Street, but never found them
I think we wrote on another topic as well, but this is about German food. What I do miss badly are Rouladen. I just can get the right cut of beef for them. Any ideas or do you know a butcher who would make such cuts?
Does anyone know where to buy Quark? I do miss my German food very much! Frankfurters are nice. Got the mix for Kartoffelsalat in the Polish shop and made a good old German potato salad. The Irish loved it so much, I have to make it now at every party in our house.
Schnitzel is a cut the butchers don`t do here. As far as our butcher has told me, the times were they could do their own cuts are over. The get most of the meat pre-cut. The same with heart, kidneys and other "inner" stuff. It is mostly about food safety.
Lidl has more Irish products than German products, because they only buy stuff they can sell again and the Irish are not very fond of the German food. But maybe we`ll find butchers or bakery`s for our taste. Hope is the last thing to die.0 -

If you know some decent Polish shops, maybe you find one with a butcher. As far as I know, there is something very similar to Rouladen in Poland, at least on of my Polish friends told me

German workmate was deliriously happy to find QUARK in the Dunnes at Blanchardstown this month. :-) now, I wouldn't go as far to say that it will be in every Dunnes, but I'm going to keep an eye out for it as I do like Quark-based cheesecakes (feck the base part!)
Now, does anyone know if the Applegreen petrol station in Stillorgan has a German baker or anything like that? Any time I've gone in there, I see "Amerikaner" donuts and proper Laugenbrot. I'd ask the staff but I pissed off one of the staff when I said she made the coffee wrong (sorry, but it was all froth, no coffee.. anyhoo..:P)
I have a serious weakness for German bakery goods.. damn. 0 -

Hi LimeFruitGum, (what a name;)),
I do envy your workmate. Never found Quark anywhere. I do shop in Lidl, Aldi, Tesco and Dunnes. Non of them had it.:mad:
Was thinking, if I could ask the staff in the German based markets like Lidl and Aldi, if they could order this from Germany. But all the staff is Polish. I think they are happy enough to have their own food in the shelf`s , and you find polish foods galore in Lidl and Aldi! Can`t really not see why they should be bothered to order more German food.
German and Austrian bakers are the best! I hope, you will have the opportunity to travel to one of this countries and see (taste) for yourself!
It`s just YUMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!0 -

Stop it, I am laughing so hard, tears are streaming down my face!!!:D
Yes, Quark makes a cake and not bloody Philadelphia.
I do think that no one can really compare one to the other. There are WORLDS between them.
I do miss the Quark and sometimes the pickled herring as well.
Really miss my German food!:o0 -

Okay, for Quarkkuchen I have found that Greek yogurt seems to work. I usually buy two of the big ones from Lidl, pour it into a sieve layered with kitchen towel and leave it in the fridge overnight so that it gets dry. The end result is slightly too sweet, but it does work as a substitute (at least in my family recipe - but I know every German has their own ). I also eat this with potatoes and line seed oil (please, please, please do not buy the latter here in Ireland, no matter if it's a health shop or not... it will taste rancid!), a common dish where I come from and one I really need every now and then.
I have also recently started experimenting with bread baking, the results are quite encouraging. Have not been able to track down "Schabziger Klee" here, though. Pity. Other than that, try it, lads. Even our beloved sourdough is quite easy to make, takes time though. Btw, try Polish shops for fresh yeast if you need it. I would also recommend their Sauerkraut - must tastier than what you'd get at Dunnes, and not so horribly over-acidic.
What I dearly miss is different cuts of meats. I'm sorry, but Irish butchers are sorely missing in that department! And don't get me started on sausages... Leberwurst... Teewurst... Bierschinken... Lyoner... *sob*
HEIMWEH!!
Btw, slightly OT, but since you can get them in any bigger supermarket in Germany: Have any of you been able to track down tinned San Marzano tomatoes?0 -

Thank you for the tip with the Greek jogurt. Will try it so.
Hey and you are soooooooooo right with the meat cuts and sausages. What I do miss the most is Leberkaese and the Suelze. No way to copy this here - no Eisbein.
In Lidl and Aldi there is a sausage nearly the same as Lyoner. I am using it for my Makkaroni. It is really nice.
The tinned tomatoes I have seen in Northern Ireland. Not so sure if it was in ASDA or Tesco.
How long are you living in Ireland?
I am here since 9 years. Last winter we were in Austria visiting my daughter (she is German but lives in Tirol). I was eating like there is no tomorrow!!!!!!!!:o All the good stuff. YUMMY!!!! We`ll go in August again!
Happy times are coming!:D:D:D0 -

Hardly premium meats. But if you're stuck you can get German ' cut versions' at McGeoughs in Oughterard, Connemara. Owner is Irish (but married German woman), spent several years training to be a Meister Fleischer and regularly wins accolades home and abroad (more for his dry cure meat products).
You'll not be disappointed, his locally sourced meat products will beat any German meat offering anyday.
Guten Appetit.;)0 -

Thanks. There is a German butcher in Killarney as well, will give him a try pretty soon.0 -

You've no idea of my eating experience with Leberwurst. Yes it can be nice but also it is basic not premium. Just look at how such products are made, the ingredients mostly 'waste' cuts. You've obviously no idea of the German intense farming methods particularly pork. Is this a case of 'I didn't know?'.
Poor thing you, that the odours keep you away.
Here's another piece of information, did you know that there are more stringent standards applying to the production of petfood than Leberwurst/Teewurst etc.0 -

Do you mean Fleischwurst? I use that to make Soljanka, works very well. Also made a simple Fleischsalat with it once and used the rests for Heringssalat. Was quite nice.The tinned tomatoes I have seen in Northern Ireland. Not so sure if it was in ASDA or Tesco.
Pity, that's a little too far away - am based in Limerick.How long are you living in Ireland?
It will be six years soon...We`ll go in August again!Happy times are coming!:D:D:D
Enjoy! I was over just a few weeks ago, filled my bags with goodies and am now impatiently waiting for a family visit in a few weeks time. Fresspaket ahoi! 0 -

I know, it is a pain in the bum - there are a good few shops around which have nice food, but always too far away. I myself are living in Co. Kildare. Not too far from Dublin, but, as it seems, there are no German food shops in the capital.
I am not so sure, if there is still the German baker in Killarney. Heard it through the grape vines. So, if you should go to the butcher there, just try to find out, if this elusive bakery still exists.
The Fleischwurst I did use for Potato salad and it was really nice.
We have to start to send recipe`s with all the substitutes.:D0 -

I fail to see how you can correct a claim that was never made. Where in this thread has FA claimed that "there are no good butchers in Ireland"? I suggest you take your own advice. It's the best contribution you've made in this thread... And if you are going to get uppity that somebody prefers German cuts of meat and German butchery over what many Irish butchers provide, it might help your argument if the Irish butcher you recommended hadn't trained in Germany for six years.
Anyway, now that this point of fact has been confirmed, getting back on topic: sour cherries, which aren't easy to get in Ireland, can be found in many Polish shops in the freezer section. They are great for cakes like Donauwellen. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm *salivates* German cakes *drools* 0 -

'Schmeiss nicht mit der Wurst nach dem Schinken'? I am German, but until now, I didn't know that one
Hi Lars!
This is a very common proverb where I am from. And I thought that it was very appropriate for this little discussion between F.A. and Sonnenblumen.
Has anyone of you ever seen blueberries in tins or jars?
We were last summer in the Slieve Bloom Mountains and picked blueberries galore but I never found them in the shelf`s. Any recommendations?
Last week I did find a marinade for potato salad in a polish shop in Kildare.
Tasted really good.;)0 -
