    Aldi and Lidl (polish shops do austrian type food) are a godsend.
    is there still a German bakery in D4?
    i discovered a guy selling Bratwurst on the nortn side in a shopping centre near abbeygate street.

    Have a look here: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055762830

    Not sure if there's anything up nearer to Graftonpark Street.

    Hallo! Wollte nur schnell anmerken, dass es einen deutschen Fleischer und Baecker in Killarney gibt. Falls sie/du mal dort sein solltest - es ist die Reise wert. Gute Wurst und leckeres Fleisch. Baecker sehr zeitig ausverkauft mit Brot und Broetchen, aber Kuchen kann man noch bekommen.

    there is a german bakery near portobello bridge, just at the back of the college

    of course its too early but there is a german christmas market held at the IFSC every year and they will sell lots of traditional german food.

    other than that its prob best to find stuff at aldi and lidl. the aldi products are much better quality

    i know the bull and castle pub at christchuch is set up like a german beer hall with all the traditional beers but i'm not sure what type of food they serve

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

    http://www.ireland-guide.com/establishment/roundwood_inn.4159.html

    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.

    There is a German Imbiss in the epicurian centre off Abbey street. I think he just sells bratwurst and brezels though.

    And now I'll try and write it in German.:o

    Der gibst ein Deutsche imbiss im der Epicurian centre auf der Abbey strasse. Aber ich dencke er verkauft nur bratwurst und brezel.

    Please feel free to correct me, it's been a while and I'm a little rusty.

    Danke fuer den Tipp!:D
    So nun zum Vergleich fuer dich! (Now for comparison for you.)
    Im Epicurian Centrum in der Abbey Strasse gibt es einen deutschen Imbiss. Aber ich glaube, er verkauft nur Bratwurst und Bretzeln.

    I do look for German food since a while. Moved to Ireland 8 years ago and miss the food from home desperately! So I am really thankfully for recommendations! Your German is quite good not so much off!;)

    Head chef (my dad) has since retired but they still serve the same food.
    No german chef there now though.

    Food is great in there, I even seen Kofi Annan going in for a bite one time!

    Yeh, theres been all sorts over the years. Does anyone know of any german bakerys in the tipp. Region. There was a place in arklow the stone oven? But theyv been gone a while now not sure if they moved or closed altogether.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 260 ✭✭pdebarra


    Possible hijack?

    Schweizer Wurstsalat. During my time in Austria, I became convinced that there can be no better food. It's got everything.

    I just need to know what cheese is usually used, and what sausage, so I can make the bastard myself now that I'm back in Ireland!

    Erm, assuming, that is, that both cheese and sausage can be found here...

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,819 ✭✭✭✭peasant


    The cheese would be Emmentaler (can be got in Tesco and other places) but a mature cheddar would do at a pinch.

    The sausage is going to be difficult. It's usually "Lyoner" or "Schinkenwurst" which I haven't really seen around here.

    Lidl used to do a big, fat "Fleischwurst" in a yellow skin ...that might work.

    And don't use malt vinegar ...go with white balsamico


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 260 ✭✭pdebarra


    Wonderful! I'll see about the Fleischwurst, then - the rest is easy to come by!

    Danke vielmals.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,819 ✭✭✭✭peasant


    apparently Tesco does it too:

    Wunderbar! Ab zum Supermarkt ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 405 ✭✭connewitz


    You can get the same sausage in Lidl and sometimes Aldi has it as well. If there is a cheese counter in your Tesco ask for the mature Edamer! Yummy!

    What's the recipe (for those of us reading and slavering without a clue)?

    (Actually a few recipes would be good!)

    Got one link for you http://www.deliciousdays.com/archives/2009/09/15/sausage-salad-bavarian-swiss-or-austrian/. This is just the salad. If you can wait for a couple of days I can send you more. My daughter`s boyfriend is from Austria. They are moving to Austria on the 13.10. and will be here for a last visit (3 days). I can ask him for more recipes if you want.:)

    The German shop in the Epicurean Centre, Abbey Street, Dublin, closed :( The owners will still be selling at various markets around Dublin area.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 23 Danny1980


    Aldi & Lidl are heaven sent indeed, glad I can get proper Bratwurst there, the irish little sausages are ok, but very fatty and can't be compared to the german ones...by far not!
    I also buy Bockwurst there...yum yum and Fleischwurst aswell whan I'm doing Nudelsalat. There's just some things that are hard to get in Irish shops like dried roasted Breadcrumbs (Paniermehl) - I get them in the Polish shop), as usual here U get mainly stuffing and to roast and grind that is additional work to do) Although I choose to live here 5 years ago, some things I prefer from german shops. (I'm cooking as well as german as Irish - my housemates liked my "Schnitzels" very much! ) No offence but looking at bakery products here like muffins with tons of icing sugar (BB's and co.)...ugh...way too sweet! And as named the sausages...but well after all those years here I'm running out of other examples, I am just so adjusted to it that I harly take notice now.

    Greetings to all the Germans and Oirish on here...Dia Dhuit! (-:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,627 ✭✭✭Lawrence1895


    Tesco do those 'Meisterhof Frankfurters', a 10 pack of them lasts maybe 5 minutes...including heating them up :D

    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.

    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. :)

    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!!!!!!!!!!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,921 ✭✭✭munchkin_utd


    bloody quark!
    I can never figure a reason why this stuff exists.
    And the love for the stuff. Why is there no love lost for the lack of celery root (cereriac) or pickled herring or the likes? Every episode of every show about germans emmigrating abroad has them missing quark of all things, or finding it but then considering it too expensive just cos its more than the 30c a pot like in Lidl in Germany.

    Or brezn/ pretzels? Christ, I'd miss that the most if I were to leave Germany - or at least some sort of fresh bakery product (kase brotchen/ semmel etc) to kick start the morning along with a proper coffee.
    Irish bakerys just do poxy creamy eclair type things with crap chololate on top, and indeed to go with it the most milky coffees, 80% milk, 14% air, and 1% bloody coffee!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,819 ✭✭✭✭peasant

    Beeeecaaaause ....Kaesekuchen (mit Quark) isn't bloody cheescake (with fuppin Philadelphia)

    to wit:

    Kaesekuchen.jpg

    mmmmhhh


    vs

    Summerfruit_cheesecake.jpg

    gack



    That's why Quark exists :D

    LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    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!:o

    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?

    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:D

    It's more like Kinderwurst and a better cheese would be Grueyer. Horgan's garlic salami would be a close match but with the garlic:) But too much of the wurst crap isn't good for you.

    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.;)

    My grandfather is a butcher, I am spoilt that way. Just because you haven't tasted any decent Leberwurst et al doesn't mean it can't be premium, trust you me! ;) And funnily enough, even a cheapo wannabe Teewurst beats any Irish meats I have tried. My boyfriend is Irish and happens to agree... I'm not saying there isn't any decent meats/cuts available here, but I'll be quite honest: the smell of most butchers here is more than enough to make me stay far, far away! Not to mention that they put white meat right next to red meat... No. Just... no.

    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.

    Keep the condescension to yourself, thanks. Like I have said, my grandfather is a butcher. I am very well aware of what goes into your standard supermarket meats - but you fail to understand that I am not talking about these. Hence my mentioning my grandfather. Leberwurst is often made of waste cuts, true, but it doesn't have to. Same goes for Teewurst.

    I can only hazard a guess that you're Irish and feel offended by me missing German products and considering them to be tastier than their Irish counterparts - please bark up another tree, though.

    I did not imagine, that a discussion about German food could get out of control like this! We are all grown ups, or are we?!
    Could we get back to the subject please and leave the bickering aside?
    The only thing I figured out in this "war" between Sonnenblume and F.A. was, that there are German butchers in Ireland. Are they all this far away from Dublin or does anyone know of a German butcher near the capital?
    And by the way, my grandfather done all the slaughtering himself and the meat and sausages were just out of this world! So I can understand your point F.A.:), it is really a different kettle of fish compared to the supermarket!
    We need to stick together here, so that we find our favorite food.;)

    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! :D

    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.:D

    I always use the ring of Fleischwurst from LIDL, the one with the orange plastic skin. It's the same taste as the one I always bought in Germany...and it's gorgeous in a warm potato salad. Just add a glass of Gewuerzgurken (I really can't translate that one now) including some of the juice. Yummy :cool:

    I have done exactly the same and the relation of my partner loved it!:)
    So, whenever the family comes together, I am in charge of the potato salad.
    I think the translation for Gewuerzgurken is pickled gerkin.

    You're the one with the 'wrong attitude', and you would be better to read before you write. Unlike you, I have not ciriticise anyone or anything. Apart from merely correcting your claims that there are no good butchers in Ireland, I gave examples, and also correctly stated that wurst is made from what butchers would consider waste meat products.

    Enjoy your Leberwurst. I'll enjoy my premium meats. Who cares.

    As I've asked F.A. to keep cool, it's only fair to ask the same of you. Please refrain from getting personal, thank you

    Now back to sausages and the like :D

    You're the one with the 'wrong attitude', and you would be better to read before you write. Unlike you, I have not ciriticise anyone or anything. Apart from merely correcting your claims that there are no good butchers in Ireland

    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*

    Enjoy your Leberwurst. I'll enjoy my premium meats. Who cares.


    Hi Sonnenblumen!

    There is a nice saying in German and I am sure that you are from Germany.
    Schmeiss nicht mit der Wurst nach dem Schinken!
    Mahlzeit!:cool:

    Nein, bin kein deutscher, aber das ist egal. :)

    'Schmeiss nicht mit der Wurst nach dem Schinken'? I am German, but until now, I didn't know that one ;)

    However...Donauwellen? *Drewl* :cool:

    I got a tin of cherries in Tesco the other day, they do the trick.

    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.;)
