Wondering if anything here is authentic German food, and how you feel about its representation of German cuisine (which can mean different things depending on the region, as I understand). Not sure if this is all just repackaged and imported stuff, recognizable brands, etc. Do you recognize this stuff? Thanks 👍

I have the assumption that this is all random stuff of questionable quality that was imported and slapped with a German label as a facade for authenticity. Not sure 🤔
The Schinken could be legit.
The Cheeses.. come on. Austria, Swiss, Germany, all the same ay?
The bread, exists over here.
Pralines with cherry, has lovers over here yup, as well as the cake, but there is so much better stuff.. ^^’ I’m sorry.
The bread is suspicious. Normal pre-cut bread should not have a shelf life of over 5 months.
Also storing bread in a refrigerator is not normal here. The condensating water inside the bag could make it soggy on the outside and prone to molding.
​
All the other products might be legit. There are no brands I recognize personally but the labeling seems good.
I’m german. The schinken and the candys check out. Don’t know any of the other stuff. Maybe it’s from switzerland, austria or a region from germany I’ve never been to before. As for the bread we have some that are like that but since the writing is in english it wasn’t locally produced.
It’s authentic in the sense that you could find these products in most German supermarkets and a lot of homes.
But apart from the Böhme cherry chocolates, I’ve never seen any of these brands.
But if they taste good, who cares about the brand?
I guess all that stuff is available at a German supermarket.
But the cake and the cheese in triangle form I don’t think I’ve ever consciously seen or eaten.
The ham and the candies are the only things would consider classic German things. Maybe the cherry chocolates, although I’ve never seen that brand.
The other cheeses and the bread are staples in several middle-european countries.
Authentic German stuff would have German labelling, not English.
At best, these are some authentic things repackaged for an international market.
The candies look like candies you could find, the ham you have no way to verify, the cheese is from all over DACH, and the bread again *could* be authentic, could be not. The cake I have never seen before, it might be something you *can* find, but I wouldn’t think of it as “typical” german cuisine, especially as amaretto sweet *italian* liquor. The “Weinbrand-Kirschen” might be authentic, similar products can be found in germany, at least…
Do you put all your other Christmas gifts on blast on the internet? Just be grateful, eat up, and leave your own review.
I live in Ammerland and there is actually a brand called Ammerländer who does sell that kind of cheese.
Packaging is completely different though.
Cambozola is a registered trademark of the champignon cheese diary.
The cheese doesn’t look like it.
The cake looks like a cheap Discounter cake for about 1 euro.
The ham could be legit.
The chocolates…. Well, there are cherry chocolates in Germany, but the most famous brand is “Mon Chery” .
The package is remotely German. It’s a
“German style” products package, made in USA.
