It's interesting that you refer to the cakes as "dessert" selection. In the Netherlands, people eat those cakes with coffee (morning, afternoon, or evening), not for dessert. Maybe that's why you were a little surprised?
If, as a foreigner, you have tried the HEMA smoked sausage and the HEMA tompouce and you like them so much, then your integration has been a complete success! 🇳🇱♥
HEMA stands for "Hollandse Eenheidsprijzen Maatschappij Amsterdam" (Dutch Unitary Pricing Company Amsterdam). It apparently was the first retailer that had the same price for their products all over the country. It is famous for its Rookworst (smoked sausage). HEMA is also popular in France.
Rookworst zonder R is ook worst! Fun fact, Jumbo verkoopt ook een aantal worsten die gemaakt worden wat vroeger altijd "de Hema worst" was. Probeer die verse knakworsten maar eens, komt goed in de buurt van zo'n vette halve die je op zaterdag haalde tijdens je markt bezoeken... En daarna even onpasselijk voelde omdat het toch wel een erg vette bek was :)
not quite. HEMA was founded as a stunt shop based on the American example of the woolworths stores that had a 5ct and 10ct store. in the Hema everything used to be for sale for 25ct and 50ct. later this was expanded with 75ct and 1 guilder.
Great video guys. Hema is such a Dutch Institute so im happy you finally got to experience it. Still cant believe i got to see you shoot this vid and give some local insights❤
About the apple pie... . Since you are living in Rotterdam you have to eat apple pie at Dudok. Just order a coffee, fresh (warm) apple pie with whipped cream on top (and put a little spoon with cream on your coffee). After this you'll never eat a Jumbo or Hema apple pie again... .
As far as I know, the available microwaves in various stores are provided as a courtesy to warm up milk or food etc. for babies but I'm pretty sure nobody would mind if you use it to heat up the pancakes instead. Great video again btw....really enjoy your view(S !) on The Netherlands 🙂
Your videos are very additctive 😊 Years ago, Hema had a 1 euro breakfast with coffee, a croissant and a harder sandwich with an omelette. it was awesome
The 1 euro breakfast was basically meant to get people to the store to get them to buy more stuff, which I guess worked pretty well. If you're at Hema anyway, might as well pick up a few items. Plus it was very good advertising.
You figured it out...this is how I eat my Tompouce...but I use a knife or fork to split top and bottom and have equal Bakkersroom on both sides. The filling has a story of it's own...traditional Bakkersroom is made with corn starch (Maizena) and you really have to cook it, most places use ready made powder and add milk/water to it. And I cannot keep from posting a comment on the Stampot...Raw Andijvie with spekjes and a Gravy from Meatballs, and the meatball ofcourse, is just classic. As is the Hutspot (carrot/onion) with Meatballs or Klapstuk, Spinache (so fluffy and delicious) with again the Meatball and a boiled egg, and Hete Bliksem (with dutch Apples) with slow cooked beef (draadjesvlees). I love to have Rookworst with my stampot...but missing out on the gravy is why I go with the Dutch Meatball or slow cooked beef.
Great video with so many topics. I use the same technique for eating my tompouce 🙂 Filet americain as a base for a sandwich is always a good idea, plenty of combinations are possible. And rookworst is also great in a thick peasoup during the colder seasons.
Indeed the kale variant of stamppot "boerenkool" is out of season this is a real winter dish, while you can make stamppot with lots of vegetables and spinach is certainly possible, its not real common to do so the Netherlands in the combination with the "Hema rookworst" the more obvious choice would have been the the stamppot with carrots/union "hutspot" or sauerkraut"zuurkool". you should also try the stamppot with raw andijvie in combination with meatballs and gravy or the one with leeks "prei" in combination with salmon they all are real comfort foods.
In Belgium we sometimes put some mustard on the filet amercain sandwich. We also have a sandwich called "martino", a hard baguette with filet americain (preparé), diced raw onions, slices of pickles and a marino sauce (spicy ketchupy sauce). And with the stamppot and saucage we use some mustard to.
“this is not a flattering angle”😭😭 off topic but thank you guys for the videos. I really appreciate it them, I am returning to The Netherlands this fall and love learning more. 🫶🥳
I remember very well how my Dad and I took the bus to the center of Den Helder and first we stopped at De Hema for some rookworst followed by a Saucijze broodje, then we walked to the nearby market and that's where for me the real fun began: 2 Haring with onion of course, unlimited mossels then another long walk going by the stalls and ending up eating 2 kroketjes and a patatje met. (frite sause)
Super fun watch!! My first job ever (10+ years ago!) was at HEMA. We always wanted our first break before 10 so we could get the cheap breakfast (which used to be 1 euro normally but 75 cents for employees!). Quite an insane price hike nowadays but still cheap compared to a lot of places currently.
For me, the thing with HEMA is that it's quick and cheap. That's it. Except for the rookworst. I don't care if your butcher's version takes you to artisanal heaven, HEMA rookworst is *it*. Oh, and my favorite vegetable to put in stamppot is "andijvie". That and "spekkies" (small, crunchy pieces of pork belly) is amazing.
And yes if kale is out off season use raw andive (I like raw andive better then kale xD) and do add some bacon and don't forget the stampot jus (gravy) you can buy those packets in store but add Less water so the gravy stays alittle thicker.
Here's a secret about Dutch 'house brands'. Most or all are made at third party companies that deliver the same products to different supermarkets. So the AH apple pie may really be the same as the one from Jumbo.
@@buncharted No, you did it almost correctly. Separate the top part, put it down glazing up, put the rest on top. Now you can either cut it and the filling won't spill out, or you can pick it up with your hand. This is the way.™
You'll have to go to the shop Little Italy in Rotterdam, Lombardkade 51-a. It's a small shop with imported Italian food. Of course they have pizza's but they are made and baked for you. They have also have sandwiches. But that is only a small part of the shop. They have a variety of meat, cheese, wine, olives, antipasta's, minisoda's for cocktails. Just ask about what they have and they love to explain the hams, cheeses or what ever. They even help you when you want to make Tiramisu!
That corner at the Hema takes me back to when I used to come there. You never experienced the V&D that used to be at the other corner. It used to be a department store where I shopped from a young age, starting in Utrecht and later in Rotterdam. Times have changed. I hope Hema will stay around because it wasn’t looking good a couple years ago. American filet goes very well with boiled eggs!
I was like "wow you gonna eat rookworst all day?" but you guys got one of those fancy city hema's with a whole sandwich bar.... Next, trie to survive in a village hema XD I also like the way Michelle uses her fork and knife, Cutting and then switching them to eat, I do that too! I actually think the microwave is for baby food but I've never seen a microwave in a store before so don't listen to me.
It's funny how you say there is a ton of 'desserts'. When I was younger, Hema would be the place to get some pie and lemonade. We didn't go there for lunch and dessert 😅
Did you know: you can get Trader Joe's brownies at the Aldi? Not entirely strange because the Aldi stores in Holland are Aldi North; the same company that runs Trader Joe's. Maybe they carry other Trader Joe's stuff as well, but I wouldn't know because I prefer Lidl if I want the German discountsuper experience.
I remember i once had to buy 4 very different things, like underwear, envelopes, a towel and bicycle lights, and all of that is sold at Hema. Plus, rookworst.
how do you eat the tompouce: tilt the tompouce on the side. you can then easily cut through the bottom and top and eat the tompouce with a knife and fork
The microwave is for baby milk bottles. Yes you can microwave your pancakes at home ;) . Based on the tangy flavour mentioned he jam is probably not jam but pannenkoekenstroop, a sugar beet treacle with a hint of apple. You can get pure pear or apple treacle in AH but they are more expensive. Sadly HEMA restaurants will be rebranded La Place. We had a few experiences with food poisoning with La Place and avoid them ever since. Nice tom poes technique, you really did use the feedback, did your homework! As mentioned elsewhere ALDI does have trader joe stuff but some Dutch only items.
we didn’t know about pannenkoekenstroop - that’s really good to know! that also explains why she had fresh “jam” and i had the packaged strawberry jam 🤔
@@buncharted the more fluid pannenkoekenstroop in a plastic squeeze bottle is often used were Americans use Maple leaf Syrup. it is more traditional on Dutch pancakes. Maple Leaf Syrup used to be expensive in NL.. I use it in some recipes that require caster sugar or when making sushi rice. Much quicker.
When I was in high school these were only 1 € for coffee, baguette with omelette and bacon, and a croissant. All for a euro. Those were the days I was there 4 times a week
Another stampot recipe: 1 Kilo of Stampot Aardappelen, about 1,70 400 grams of raw andijvie, about 1,80 sachet of Verstegen Anijdvie Stampotmix spices, 1,48 335 gram Gelderse Rookworst, Albert Heijn housebrand is good 300 grams of Gerookte Spekjes, trays or bags will do. Trays are more expensive Dash of vinegar ----------------------------------------- Cook potatoes for 20 minutes along with the inner packaged rookworst, use the last 10 mins to bake the bacon. Drain potatoes after cooking time, add spice mix, add the raw andijvie and let it welter for some minutes. Add vinegar and bacon and serve with rookworst with a lick of good mustard (i prefer Dyon of Grove, wholeseed) cut in half. It will cut the fat a bit. (rest of the stampot mixture you can store cold, put it cold of lightly microwaved on a boterham next day for lunch for instance) A good cheap hearty meal, especially in winter! Enjoy!
We in the Netherlands eat cake or pie all day round with coffee, tea, etc. Not really just a dessert here, maybe thats why you are confused by the fact it is available in the morning
I lived above a Hema for over ten years so I used it as my grocery store a lot. When it comes to bread and meats and chease to put on it, better and certainly better value for money than the AH. Quite good a typical Dutch microwave meals too, erwtensoep, nasi goreng. The rookworst is the best industrial one, because it's actually smoked instead of using smoke aroma. Great at
For a long long time, HEMA was the only mainstream store where you could buy kosher wine outside of the one kosher supermarket we have in NL. Same for their matza, which you could buy around pesach, not just easter. HEMA has a huge jewish history in NL, like Bijenkorf has.
@@jimooijevaar6894 nope it was taken over by Jumbo after V&D wnet bankrupt, and now it’s a seperate (franchise) company. The name is still owned by Jumbo.

IMO Michelle DOES eat her tompoes the best way, which really should be done with a fork because using hands to eat things is considered impolite. I've also noticed a preference to eat the bottom part first and then alternate between top and bottom, bottom and top. I learnt Dutch back when it was obligatory for immigrants to do so, and we followed a course using the 'Nieuwe Buren' textbook/audio/computer exercises that featured an Amsterdam mom & pop shop called 'Winkel van Sinkel'. The wife of the shop later worked p.t. at what I believe was some consulting bureau. My favourite episode was when she interviewed job candidates while serving them coffee and tompoes. This episode reminded me of some kind of American slapstick - like watching 'I Love Lucy' - as the interviewees struggled with varying ways of tackling this pastry while trying to make a good impression on mw Sinkel.
Really enjoying watching your videos. I can tell you guys have a lot of fun making them while discovering new things, which is interesting to see when you already know the things. I do have a PROTIP for the filet americain: put it on a nice bread with a warm, soft boiled egg and some pepper and salt. It's one of my absolute favourites.
Love your videos. Keep on going.😊 I'm gonna be the typical 'cheap' dutchie in the comments and say I don't find the 3/4/5 euro breakfast cheap. Yes, also because inflation and stuff, but honestly, HEMA as a whole is only barely the budget store it once was.
@@jackjackmillar I think this is a good video. It's in dutch but pretty self explanatory I think. 😊 I think my go-to would be IKEA. But I don't do budget-breakfasts a lot.
So, like here is the question: what kind of metabolism do the two of you have? Eating tonnes of food and slim as a .... (do not know the appropriate english word). Anyway, nice video. Had no idea you could have breakfast/lunch/dinner with HEMA food. As suggested here: LaPlace is a nice place for a future food tour.
It's been ages since I ate anything from Hema, I do all my shopping at Ekoplaza, the Dutch equivalent of Trader Joe's. Wonderful idea and video though 😂
Having pre-baked pancakes is a none thing, also they are not eaten for breakfast. You get a freshly baked pannekoek for lunch or dinner. For a good dutch pancake go to a pancake house and order a sweet or savory topping of your choice, it will the best pancake you've ever tasted in your life. I also recommend poffertjes. Eating stamppot without gravy is considered a crime against humanity, careful because you could be deported for that.
The Red velvet cake is worth going to Hema for! I'm not really a fan of their breakfast menu's. At least not over here in Groningen. Always pretty dry bread and dried out cheese.
It's interesting that you refer to the cakes as "dessert" selection. In the Netherlands, people eat those cakes with coffee (morning, afternoon, or evening), not for dessert. Maybe that's why you were a little surprised?
That is the first thing I noticed as well. Cakes we eat with afternoon tea, evening coffee or celebrations, not as a desert.
Maybe they mean desert as in it's a sweet treat

HEMA is established since November 4th 1926: approx. 96 years ago....
HEMA is also currently selling (R)OOKWORST, with veggies in it. I love it.
hema staat voor, Hier Eet Men Afval.
I just love the enthusiasm from Michelle.
She would be a sales woman ❤
She would sell ice cream,at the north pole😂
HEMA is very ‘no-nonsense’, so very Dutch.
And their Rookworst is the best!
Putting chips on a sandwich is very American. Looks awesome, i'm definitely going to try that.😋
I put chips on my pizza, I love the crunchyness.
They also do it in great brittain haha
@@buddy1155 I rather have a crunchy pizza to begin with, no soggy pizza's for me!
Great video guys. Hema is such a Dutch Institute so im happy you finally got to experience it. Still cant believe i got to see you shoot this vid and give some local insights❤
so good to meet you, jordi!!!
Hi! I enjoyed your video a lot. I'm Dutch and worked at the Hema 22 years ago at the meat section, including rookworsten. You made me feel nostalgic!
About the apple pie... .
Since you are living in Rotterdam you have to eat apple pie at Dudok. Just order a coffee, fresh (warm) apple pie with whipped cream on top (and put a little spoon with cream on your coffee).
After this you'll never eat a Jumbo or Hema apple pie again... .
oh yes, we haven’t found better than dudok in rotterdam. but it would be unfair to expect dudok quality from hema 😂
Filet Amercain is not a carpaccio, since that's a cutting technic. (Very thin sliced) It's proced minced raw beef, with ketchup mayo etc. 😊
As far as I know, the available microwaves in various stores are provided as a courtesy to warm up milk or food etc. for babies but I'm pretty sure nobody would mind if you use it to heat up the pancakes instead.
Great video again btw....really enjoy your view(S !) on The Netherlands 🙂
Your videos are very additctive 😊 Years ago, Hema had a 1 euro breakfast with coffee, a croissant and a harder sandwich with an omelette. it was awesome
we talked about how awesome that was in the video but i had to cut it 😂
can you imagine a deal like that today???
😅😅
yeah, those where the times 😂
IKEA had this as well
I went once every week back then to have a breakfast date with my toddler.❤
The 1 euro breakfast was basically meant to get people to the store to get them to buy more stuff, which I guess worked pretty well. If you're at Hema anyway, might as well pick up a few items. Plus it was very good advertising.

i wish we had been able to try their rookworst chips (ahem, crisps) before they closed in the UK!
@@buncharted yeah. That really bummed her out as well. Good thing she has a dutch dealer 😏
@@buncharted CHIPS. It's the reason we booted them out of the EU, real talk.
I love the tompouce eating technique. Some real innovation happening here!
THANK YOU! 😂

When kale is out of season endive is a good alternative for stamppot (make sure to throw some bacon bits in as well).
haha michelle texted me from the store and was like “endive or spinach?”

@@AnnaMaria-uo5mu Spinach stew not common? Do you live in a different Netherlands than I do? 😅

sachet of Verstegen Anijdvie Stampotmix spices, 1,48
335 gram Gelderse Rookworst, Albert Heijn housebrand is good

This episode reminded me of some kind of American slapstick - like watching 'I Love Lucy' - as the interviewees struggled with varying ways of tackling this pastry while trying to make a good impression on mw Sinkel.
that’s hilarious! i wish we could transport tompouce back to the US with us whenever we go home so we could test our friends 😂
Jumbo is the owner of Hema so you can find the same products in Jumbo or Hema
The HEMA breakfast used to be bigger and only for 1 euro!!
Really enjoying watching your videos. I can tell you guys have a lot of fun making them while discovering new things, which is interesting to see when you already know the things. I do have a PROTIP for the filet americain: put it on a nice bread with a warm, soft boiled egg and some pepper and salt. It's one of my absolute favourites.
I always put the "American" pancakes from AH in the microwave on the 30 second auto setting, imo the texture doesnt differ.
The best way to eat apple pie is slightly warm and with whipped cream
💯
You should do one on La place
Love your videos. Keep on going.😊 I'm gonna be the typical 'cheap' dutchie in the comments and say I don't find the 3/4/5 euro breakfast cheap. Yes, also because inflation and stuff, but honestly, HEMA as a whole is only barely the budget store it once was.
Do you have any other recommendations for good value breakfasts in NL?
@@jackjackmillar I think this is a good video. It's in dutch but pretty self explanatory I think. 😊 I think my go-to would be IKEA. But I don't do budget-breakfasts a lot.
Wait..., the pancakes are cold..? As a dutch person I find that very odd.
🤷
Cold pancake = vaatdoekje
i always heat up the leftover (selfmade) pancakes the next day in the microwave, no HEMA where i live
And very nice and sweet video and nice chandelier s 👍
So, like here is the question: what kind of metabolism do the two of you have? Eating tonnes of food and slim as a .... (do not know the appropriate english word). Anyway, nice video. Had no idea you could have breakfast/lunch/dinner with HEMA food.
As suggested here: LaPlace is a nice place for a future food tour.
No jip & Janneke mugs and plates??! They are useful when one move or camping.
Hema sells only their own products, no other brands
We drop "hagelslag" on the peanutbutter sandwich, but I guess you 2 knew that already
Yes, the cat is there!
this video has been blessed by a cat 🐈
Next at gravy on the stampot 🎉🎉🎉
So let's go ! Try out a sandwich, young cheese and strawberry jelly on top of it, I dare you 2 !
we will definitely try this!!
Dang, didn't know a calico allowed to share a dwelling with you? Thumbs up to the three of you!
🧡🖤🤍
Try the spicy rookworst!!
Fortunately you guys did a lot of walking too...
Thanks !
😂
When I wak past a hema I’m always tempted to buy a broodje rookworst for €3. Not very healthy but so delicious🤤
Jumbo has bought the HEMA.
There was even a Hema musical. 😂
WHAT
It's been ages since I ate anything from Hema, I do all my shopping at Ekoplaza, the Dutch equivalent of Trader Joe's. Wonderful idea and video though 😂
Huh, Trader Joe's is part of Aldi. How's that related to Eko Plaza?
@@dutchgamer842 they are both organic supermarkets
HEMA is about as Dutch as WOODEN SHOES! You have to experience it to understand their value.
cake and tarte are not desserts, we eat them in the mrning with coffee
10:50 -I am an alien from another planet and trying to learn your language and culture. Can you explain "Insert the hot dog into the tube" for me ?
hahahah
Have ever eat the "filet American" or "American filet" of the Hema? Its great on a boterham 😊
You test already, sorry 😮
As for similarities between Hema & Jumbo tompoes/tompouce: They are produced by the same company.
Having pre-baked pancakes is a none thing, also they are not eaten for breakfast. You get a freshly baked pannekoek for lunch or dinner. For a good dutch pancake go to a pancake house and order a sweet or savory topping of your choice, it will the best pancake you've ever tasted in your life. I also recommend poffertjes.
Eating stamppot without gravy is considered a crime against humanity, careful because you could be deported for that.
The Red velvet cake is worth going to Hema for! I'm not really a fan of their breakfast menu's. At least not over here in Groningen. Always pretty dry bread and dried out cheese.
i will definitely be going back for more of those desserts!!!
@@buncharted Yeah you should try it out sometime! I think I could eat a entire cake of that daily 🥲
