Oktoberfest, pretzels, and Christmas markets? You’d think you’re in Germany but these traditions, along with many others, made their way across the pond and are now part of many Americans’ lives. In this week’s episode, we talk about the “German” traditions that exist in the U.S. and compare them to our experiences with the original traditions in Germany. How authentic is an American soft pretzel with beer cheese? Or dancing the chicken dance at an American "Oktoberfest"? Tag along and let us know what German things or traditions exist where you’re from!
