Missed opportunity to put the Stroop on the Pannekoeken with bacon & cheese. Such a good combination

So the prices on the fries I'm guessing are jacked up cuz of your location being Amsterdam I'm guessing where I live fries cost max 4,5 for a bigger portion and 3 euro for a medium portion

Hi Nicos, Just want to point out that something overlooked by many foodies is that we also have more exotic food. My Poeple the Indo's but also the Maluku brought a lot of dishes from the Dutch East Indies, that have been incorporated even in Dutch Snack bars. But for example a Rice table which are a lot of meat and vegetable dishes with fried rice, have been declared official Dutch heritage. But also Surinam and the Dutch Antilles have spread there dishes in to the Dutch culture. Next time you you come for dinner you should really try it, Indrapura in Amsterdam is a great restaurant for this , my aunt is actually the chef cook there. If you try the Satey, meat scewers of different meat in a Ketjap (sweet soy like) , with unions and peppers is absolute to die for, this meat melts in your mouth. Loved you vid, good luck in the future

Great video! Thanks for the debunking and I don't blame you at all for the reaction on the Dutch-style-herring-treat 🙂 You either love it or hate it, there is no middle of the road. I personally love it, but I remember my non-dutch (then) girlfriend being absolutely (not positively) shocked by it ;-)

Hutspot is great, but better is boerenkool

We have basically bland food that traditionally was cooked / mashed to some unrecognizable pulp. Taste came from salt and pepper mainly. Thank goodness it has improved somewhat but as i had an Asian wife for about 15 years I cook inbetween those continents, much more spicey, less heavy on the stomach and wayyy healthier. And one tip for the next time. Ditch the tourist areas and stay away from the fast foods. It's utter rubbish.

Is there any non-Dutch person in the comments?

biefstuk is steak

in the Netherlands we eat bitterballen with our hands not with a fork

There will always be people who just don't like certain types of food. I'm dutch and if it's up to me the haring would be thrown back in to the sea. Just like the hutspot. Thank you for visiting our country.

People might call our food blend but if you have high quality produce you don’t need allot of spices to make it taste good.

How to make Dutch diner. Step 1: Boil in water and make sure you dont add any salt. Step 2: Throw it on a plate and call it a day🤢🤣

i don't know why people eat herring with pickles and bread.. discusting .. eat it with no bread and only onions. that's the way to eat it. pickles is for people who don't like herring.

Pannenkoeken for breakfast are only allowed if they are from the night before and you are hungover. Pannenkoeken is a diner food, or, if you are lucky, lunch. Also, always go for Pannenkoeken met kaas en stroop.

dutch food is not tasty ask the rapper bronson

Pretty sure the fries you had was the patatje oorlog (fries war) because they either come with curry ketchup and onions or mayonnaise ketchup and onions (yes 1 sauce difference)

As a Dutchie myself, I must say, Hutspot's reputation is 100% deserved. Hate the stuff

We staan er weer goed op, lesgoo!

Thanks for this video it's always nice to see people from outside the Netherlands trying our food, and I as a Dutchman can tell you that there are plenty of Dutch people who don't like a harring sandwich, it just has to do with your taste, I don't like all Dutch stews myself so it just depends on what you like.

The Dutch, fighting 400 years for spices, just to never use them

In my opinion one of the best thing is having a hard day and coming home to find your mom making a big pot of stamppot. My favorite feeling 😂

You showed a picture of "Boerenkool" before you had "Hutspot" :-) You should try "Boerenkool met Worst" too :-)

i live in the netherlands, but i am polish. i understand that u say the foods taste good. but they are flavorless compared to foods from other countries . going to the supermarket is just super depressing. u either get flavorless food with low effort. or spend half a day cooking

2:14 jezus dooe gewoon kroket roulette ofzo met je vork in een bitterbal

What kind of heathen eats pannenkoeken for breakfast? That is dinner.

You talked about Hutspot but then showed boerenkool... Not the same, try the latter, and zuurkool of course, or rauwe andijviestamp. And about the cookies, stroopwafel, nice, but don't forget speculaas.

What the hell kind of broodje haring was that? But if you’re not a fish guy I guess it can be too much of an acquired taste. Loved the video

The dutch are highly proficient in everything they do. Food is a fuel for them so the dishes are simple yet effective. As a foreigner i really like the food. I remember my ex making a “prakkie” for me. I mis the dish more than her.

patatje speciaal*

Pickles do not belong on herring. If the shop puts pickles without asking you, you know the fish is not fresh.

why would bacon not be good in cyrpus? its a pig you eat no difference what do they do to make it bad

Funny to see sum one enjoy Dutch food, while it is so... vanzelfsprekend for Dutch people.. Really enjoyed this, i'll be following you from now on.

Next time... you eat a bitterbal with your hand, not a fork...🫡

Nothing beats bitterballen, those are the balls of the gods

I'm Dutch but hutspot is not lunch it's a dinner

Thank you for promoting our food and trying to break the stereotype! I'm sure I speak for most Dutch people when I say that we really appreciate it. Your distaste for haring is completely understandable since you are not a big seafood fan. If anyone reading this is into seafood and is planning on visiting The Netherlands, be sure to try it! Smoked eel and smoked mackerel are also great. Thanks again Nicos!

Thanks Nicos, great vid!

I don't know why people like raw haring. I'm as dutch as they come, but i'm pretty sure the majority doesn't enjoy haring on a regular basis. It's just something we force poor tourists to eat. "Yeah, yeah, It's tradition. you gotta eat it! No seriously."

Nice video man

Should you ever visit again, make sure to check out some Indonesian and Surinamese food!

The only great stuff you tried was the haring😂 rest is mostly greasy stuff

No you misunderstood. We ourselves think its bland and boring...

I expected to see some proper dishes but these are just some snacks and a couple of dishes, and half of em aren't even that great, like pannenkoeken, poffertjes, patat. The erwtensoep looked very thin, my grandma made it so you could stick your spoon staight into it and it would stand.

You missed ‘wentelteefjes’. White bread quickly soaked in milk with vanilla and cinnamon, baked in a pan.

pannenkoeken aren't actually eaten as breakfast in the netherlands. more as lunch or dinner. pancakes for breakfast is from the USA.

Bro! Like this vid. But in the Netherlands you can eat the Bitterbal with your hands. Its what everyone does. You dont have to though if you dont like eating with your hands but i thought it was funny seeying you eating it with a fork.

You missed "patatje oorlog" war fries. Now you have to comeback ;).

Eat stroopwafels warm. Put them on your coffee or tea, or in chef mike for like 15/30 seconds. The taste explodes x10. Fresh from an ancient looking device are always the best ones.

wait, since when are we having pannekoeken and poffertjes for breakfast?

Herring sux, it tastes so fishy and slimy, Sushi is one of my favorite foods so its not like i dont like fish and Kibbeling is the most amazing snack.
