$1.12 German Cheeseburger WOW

Hello and welcome back to the first

episode of Cooking with Daniel in Germany.

So today we're going to have one of these

Peewee cheeseburgers,

German cheeseburger. Looks very delicious.

So it just kind of looks like regular beef

burger without any beef. What's inside

of the bun. So we've got a slice of

cheese. Oh, it's wet.

So I guess I put it straight into the

microwave like that.

Whoa, it's only been in there for 1

minute, the cheese has already melted.

You know, I think it's ready actually.

This microwave is really powerful. Oh

look, it says up here, Auto Crisp. It's

for pizzas. Wow, you can make a pizza in

this microwave. Amazing. Oh, now I have

melted cheese on the inside of the

microwave. That's not good.

Oh, how can I get this burger out? Oh,

it's all soft. I thought it'd be crispy.

What if

I just stab it like this?

Oh, dropped it.

Okay, let's see what this tastes like. Oh

wow, I just realized this is the first

time that I've made a video where I'm just

sitting down eating some food and having a

chat since you know who came

to my house and stayed with me.

Yeah, that was before the lockdown, after

I got back from Korea and I got that

halogen oven and I started making some

cooking videos. But then I had to stop

because you know who came around and I

couldn't really do that anymore. And then

the lockdown happened, so I never had any

time alone. But now I can get back into,

um, you know, just having a meal together

with you guys.

I'm not sure if this burger is going to be

any good, but it's 300 calories. And I

haven't managed to find any protein shake.

Well, I have, but I didn't buy any.

I saw lots of different types of protein

shake at the supermarket, but I'm not sure

if they're high-calorie shakes or if

they're just high protein.

Again, I'm struggling to get enough

calories today. I had A salami sandwich

which had about 500 calories.

It tasted horrible. It was really

sickening. It had this thick sauce inside

of it. It was all creamy.

Um, I don't really know what to do for

lifting. The heaviest object I could find

here is a bicycle. It's quite heavy,

but it's kind of awkward to lift up and

down. It kind of does the job.

So I'm lifting that guy's bicycle. He has

some workout gear. He has like that

rolling thing where you do push-ups, but I

can't do that. And he has a yoga mat and

he has push-up handstand things, but he

doesn't have any weights. He also doesn't

have any shampoo, which kind of makes

sense since he doesn't have any hair from

looking at his picture. So I have to go

and get shampoo and I have to get some

protein powder. I also need

to— what else do I need to get? I might

get some beer.

Yeah, I haven't really done anything

today. Well, actually, that's not true.

I've been editing my video and trying to

make a thumbnail. I'm not sure how to make

the thumbnail though. I could use

a picture of myself wearing a mask at the

airport,

or I could do like a pose in the Airbnb.

It's just kind of tricky because I want to

take a picture of the thumbnail so the

sofa and the window is in view because it

looks nice. But then my face is all dark

because the sunlight's coming in from the

other direction. But then if I face the

sunlight, then the sofa and the windows

won't be in the thumbnail.

Huh, kind of tricky making

the thumbnail sometimes.

Okay, so this cheeseburger reminds me of

the cheeseburgers I used to have when I

was at school at Swadlins.

I would always have a cheeseburger and

they'd be all soggy and moist,

kind of gross, but this is what it tastes

I wish I had a cheeseburger and some mini

cheddars.

Me and my friend always used to rush to

the canteen to try and get a bacon and egg

muffin.

Those are really good, but you had to rush

because they didn't make many, and if you

weren't first in the canteen, they would,

they would get sold out in about 10

minutes. So if I couldn't get

a bacon and egg muffin, I used to get a

cheeseburger and some mini cheddars. But

then I ended up throwing most of the mini

cheddars around because they're like

little discs and they're like little

frisbees and it was fun throwing them.

Bit of a waste.

Bit of a waste of food, I guess.

I'm guessing you're wondering why I'm in

Germany. Well,

I can't really tell you, sorry about that.

It's top secret.

I'm here to experience the culture and

the language. I'm gonna get a smoothie.

I got this mango smoothie.

You know, I really like this area. I think

it's really nice. It's nice and peaceful,

and the apartment's really big and bright.

I think it'd be really nice living here.

It's such a different atmosphere when you

stay in an Airbnb compared to a hotel.

Last time I was in Germany, I stayed in

only hotels, and it was kind of depressing

because, you know, hotel is just a room

and you get a bed. And a shower and a

little desk. But when you stay in an

Airbnb, it feels like a proper home.

You've got a living room, you've got a

sofa, I've got a dining table,

and it has this nice homely feeling that

makes you want to be at home and just

relax. But when you're staying in hotels,

it's different.

And I just felt really depressed last year

when I was in Germany, not just because I

got rejected by that German girl.

I don't know what changed, but I just— I

really feel different. I don't really know

how I can show you, but inside of my

brain, I just feel like I'm in a

completely different mindset, different

headspace, different way of thinking. I'm

just chilling out in my Airbnb eating my

cheeseburger.

I don't even have to go outside because

I've got this amazing view all around me.

Can't show you yet. I have made a tour,

Airbnb tour, but I won't be uploading it

until I leave and go to the next one.

Call me paranoid, but I don't really want

to risk people messaging the owner and

then getting me into trouble.

Might as well wait a few days until I've

left and gone to the next one.

It was kind of annoying getting the key.

He left the key in an envelope and he gave

it to some Asian guy in a sushi

restaurant. Well,

it's not a sushi restaurant, it's like a

Vietnamese Asian restaurant.

And I had to go to the restaurant

and I asked him, do you have an envelope

for me? And he didn't understand a word I

was saying.

Luckily, this young German guy was

standing next to me. He said Would you

like me to translate? I said, yes,

please. He saved my life. Otherwise,

I would have been standing there for half

an hour trying to get the bloody envelope.

And even when he translated what I was

saying into German to the Asian guy— he

was like this old Asian guy— he didn't

seem to understand German either. So the

young German guy had to show the Asian guy

keys. He pointed at his own keys because

he didn't understand the word keys, I

And then he finally understood. He asked

me to show him ID, and then he gave me

the, the keys with the envelope.

It doesn't seem like a good idea if you're

expecting non-German speaking guests to be

coming to your Airbnb, and then you hand

the keys over and To some Asian guy who

doesn't speak English or very good German.

So I was lucky to have that German guy to

Not the smoothest check-ins. It's much

better in Japan when they just leave it in

a lockbox and they give you the passcode.

So I don't really have much plans. Um,

haven't done any sightseeing yet. I just

walked to the supermarket and walked back.

I'm not really in a desperate rush to go

sightseeing, to be honest.

I guess I can do it later. Got plenty of

time. I think first I'll just explore

the neighborhood a bit, go to the park.

There's a park nearby.

People say, oh, you just— you go traveling

but you don't go outside and just stay up

in the Airbnb.

Yeah, I guess so. I just don't really feel

like I have this huge urge to

go traveling to see different places

unless, you know, I'm going with someone.

I don't really feel like I want to go

around by myself. It's just kind of

boring.

You get lazy, you know, especially when

you're in a nice Airbnb. I can't be

bothered to go far. I don't even know

how to use public transport. I got a taxi

from the Berlin airport.

That was kind of— I'm not sure

if I'd say scary, but I felt really

anxious getting a taxi because I've never

gotten a taxi where you just walk up to it

randomly. And get into it. I've had taxis

before, but I booked them online first.

So it was my first time just walking up to

a taxi and getting into it, and there were

just so many taxis, and I got into the

closest one. He said I had to go to the

front of the taxi road to get the first

taxis at the front.

Taxi only cost about €24. I gave him €30.

I said you can keep the change, so gave

him a nice tip.

Okay, so that's my German cheeseburger.

It was okay, not bad. I've had worse

burgers. The bread was fluffy, not moist

and soggy, which is good. I suppose if you

cook it in the oven, it would have been

crispy, which would have been better. Um,

the actual meat burger was quite tasty

actually for a pork burger.

I thought it was going to be beef. Pork

burger sounds kind of weird, doesn't it?

It's basically like a flat sausage, but

it's quite tasty, quite savory, very well

seasoned. I would give it a— give

it a 6.4 out of 10. Yeah, I think that's

fair. Yeah,

I think this is how I'm going to do my

food videos on this channel, like back

when I was in Korea when I just tried to

find interesting foods. I know the

cheeseburger wasn't very interesting.

Next time I'll look for something more

interesting. Anyway, I'm going to— what

should I do? I don't know. I finished

editing the moving to Germany video. I

just need to make a thumbnail and then I'm

done, I guess.
