WHO IS BUNCHARTED?
We're Michelle and Alex, an American expat couple living abroad in the Netherlands. 🇳🇱
In 2020, we quit our jobs to travel the world, and... well, that didn't happen. So in 2022, we decided to make an even BIGGER change: to pack up our lives (and our cats 🐈) and move from Austin, Texas, in the United States, to the Netherlands. Subscribe for new videos like this every week!
Funny story. When my mom went to Australia, about 30 years ago, she somehow decided to bring 'gestampte muisjes' with her for our family there. Somehow the drugs dog was very interested. First the handler pulled the dog away, my mom being an elderly woman but it came back so they asked her to empty her bags and out came the 'gestampte muisjes'. Now, it looks like something different, lol. The man asked her what it was and all the could think was to literally translate it into 'crushed mice' what the situation made more confusing, lol. At the end they understood it was a Dutch thing and innocent. But at least we have the story to tell, lol.
The Bugles should be eaten with the Danish cheese tube. The tube that looks like a chef.
Or Monchou.
I eat it with paturain or boursin
I used smeerkaas (quit salt) and then especially the 'sambal' smeerkaas.
sambal smeerkaas ideale dip
Haha yes i was expecting this tube
With the vlavlip, instead of cherries (never heard of it even), just use karvan instead. You can even choose your own flavor karvan. But strawberry or red-fruit is the best in Vlaflip
With the bugles, get some "smeerkaas" and dip the bugles in it.
Add some Karvan to karnemelk, to make a great fruity milk drink.
The applestroop goes GREAT on a buttered sandwich
Ooooh, I just got where the confusion set in.
When they said cherry syrup, I was like 'yep, that's right, syrup. Why are they getting it from preserved cherries, though?'
But it's not right. Because despite sounding similar the English translation for the 'siroop' you use for a vlaflip isn't 'syrup', but 'grenadine'.
@@RvEijndhoven Syrup is actually the correct word, but I would have been more specific and said lemonade syrup.
renadine is more of a sweetened juice concentrate for cocktails.
For all the non dutchies... Karvan cevitam is a lemonade syrup brand 😅 with dozens of different flavours, that is a standard part of the Dutch household. Almost everyone has a bottle on hand for surprise visitors 😂 of like us, for a daily glass of lemonade
Instead of using cherry juice for the vlaflip, we used plain lemonade syrup (limonade in Dutch) when I was a kid. It brought back a childhood memory for me, haha! 🍒🍋
ooooh yum!!!
Yes exactly, I think they call it 'tang' in the US?
Roosvicee
Same here! When I was a child we had plain yoghurt with a splash of grenadine or aardbeien siroop as a dessert sometimes after dinner. Dont really have it now, but I sometimes do a similar thing with magere kwark + zero sugar siroop and its actually so good
Yes scrupules. Like carvan sevitam
We are moving back to NL (Dalfsen near Zwolle) after 11 years in the US (Seattle) you are one of my favorite channels to watch and getting super excited to get back to NL and enjoy all the stuff you are talking about. It's so weird to lose sight of some of the beautiful things from NL.
2:11 cat is like "Muisjes? Save some for me!"
Im nl and muisjes means mouse but dont woory not made of mice
Oh I forgot. Try the appelstroop on pancakes.
It's a bit of hassle to put on, but it's so delicious
If the pancake is still very hot, the appelstroop will "melt" a little bit and it's spreadable.
Eeeww. I hate appelstroop.
@@MartijnPennings Yummy. I prefer my pancakes with bacon and cheese!
I has to be a flat crepe style pancake though. Not fluffy american. Flat as can be. Milk eggs flower
@@PaulaBean I think bacon, cheese, and appelstroop would work very well together. I've had bacon appelstroop and that definintely works.
You should have gotten the original brand Enkhuizer Jodekoeken. Soooo goooood.
My thought, too.
Davelaar ftw :)
so true! I actually don't think any other brand comes even close to the Enkhuizer, the original jodekoeken brand
I was so confused that they even have a home brand xD
The other brands or hoe brands are just as good except cheaper
I would have buttered (probably using margarine) the bread for the "kokosbrood".
Roomboter onder het kokosbrood.
Margarine 😮😢😢😢
Yeah the coarse texture definitely requires a bit of lubrication xD
What can I say? You're doing a great job reviewing all these Dutch foods. Bravo!
Lays used to be called Smiths in the Netherlands before Pepsico bought them which was a company started by Dutch patoto farmers togerther with Frank Smith from the UK.
And we lost a lot of great flavours
Not entirely true. Smiths was founded and started in the UK in 1919. Only in 1958 Dutch farmers contacted Smiths to make chips in NL. In austalia it is still called Smith’s.
Bedankt Maarten voor nieuwe feiten!@@maartenkos98
The appelstroop is also great when you have mild iron-defficiency. Years ago my GP told me to eat 1-2 sandwiches with appelstroop a week (a bit thicker than on the video) to prevent a new (massive) iron-defficiency. So after I got medical iron tablets, I have taken my two sandwiches with appelstroop a week. No probleem ever since.
You can even taste it
When we used to have school milk in primary school most of the 30 kids had semi-skimmed, a couple full fatty and chocolate milk and only 2 of us, so that includes me, had karnemelk. Even for Dutchies it's an acquired taste.
De Ruijter used to produce old Dutch aniseed cubes which you could use for making hot aniseed milk with, till their machine broke down and they couldn't get replacement parts anymore. They replaced the product with really expensive sachets, but you can do a cheaper version of the milk by using De Ruijter 'anijshagel' or the 'gestampte muisjes' you've got there, but likely the 'anijshagel' comes closest to those cubes, nutritional value and ingredient-wise (the cubes consisted of sugar, dextrose, aniseed extract and hardened plant-based fat, 0.5g per 100g).
Fill the Bugles with Danish Chef Cheese spread naturel (also available at AH).
Or dip them in “Heksenkaas”….
Or boursin
Well, never eaten the Danish Chef Cheese Spread (I am actually dutch but live in Norway). Looks like norwegian cheese in a tube we habe here, often with bacon or ham flavour, but things like jalapenon flavour (surprisingly not hot at all, norwegians hate hot food).
Those tubes are delicious on bread bit I can imagine on Bugles😅
Sisi is actually just a translation of 'ja ja' (yes yes)
(I remember a old commercial where they sang 'si-si, ja-ja')
For your vlaflip traditionally you should use Tova aardbeiensaus, not the cherries.
ah HA! it’s a “saus” not a “stroop”!
You can also use the aardbeien sirop. But I don’t know it’s still available in shops. Instead of that you can use Karvan Cévitam sirop. Is even better.
@@bunchartedso one really confusing thing for English speakers is that "stroop" and "siroop" are different things. "stroop" is sugary and thick, to put on pancakes or bread. "siroop" is to be watered down into lemonade or used in a desert. There's no such thing as "aardbeienstroop" but there is "aardbeiensiroop". Still, appelstroop is even thicker than suikerstroop, I guess because of the pectin?
@@bunchartedyou can tova- or maybe nowadays branded as hero - dessertsausen in any supermarket in the baking products section. Comes in cute little bottles in a variety of flavors: chocolate, caramel, strawberry and maybe others (not sure). Ideal for topping puddings or small pastries.
@@spinozatheobvious626i once made aardbeienstroop on accident. Wanted to make strawberry jam but i got distracted and massively overcooked it until it became stroop. Not something you would find in a supermarket. It was good though.
We used to make vlaflip with aanlenglimonade (sirop to make lemonade) just a littlebit of sirop. Van Karvan Cevitam the rozenbottel one that you can stil find at the babyfood isle in the green glass bottle.
Rolmops is alright.
Smoked eal is my personal favorite, but fresh from the fish monger only. 😍🤤
Yeah that or caviar covered in gold...
@@spinozatheobvious626 I know it's expensive, that's why I'm only able to get it like once a month.
I'll skip on the caviar thanks. 😉
You should make bitterkoekjes pudding with the bitterkoekjes.
You cook custard with milk, break the bitterkoekjes in pieces and add to the custard pudding when it's still simmering. Then keep stirring till the cookies have basically fallen apart completely. Eat warm or cold. If you want to eat it cold you put some cling film on top op the pudding so you don't get the thick layer on top.
It's really delicious.
De Ruijter! They are from Baarn, where I grew up. My mom lived quite close to the factory. Nowadays I think they are stationed in Zeist.
wij aten vroeger altijd vla-flip met een scheutje frambose limonade siroop en een beschuitje in stukjes er door heen. In Nederland dronk ik altijd karnemelk bij m'n ontbijt en lunch, je kunt het helaas niet krijgen in Portugal. Jullie moeten Choba chocoladeboter & Bebogeen pasta proberen als broodbeleg.
Lol, Bebogeen. Trouwens, als je yoghurt verdunt met melk krijg je een soort karnemelk, misschien handig in Portugal?
In Noorwegen heb je ook geen karnemelk. Wel kulturmelk, smaskt naar een yoghurt karnemelk mix, en vind ik beter dan karnemelk. Nederlandse karnemelk is echt zuur, de Oostenrijkse die ik ken is voller en zoeter.
Appelstroop, is made of apples cooked with some sugar and water, and a little bit of lemon juice. With the honger winter in NL (WOII) as people needed to resort to eating plant bulbs, in the south (limburg) they had appelstroop to get them through. Zuurvlees is from Limburg. You can also have perenstroop, or a mix of both. Appelstroop met Limburgse kaas of roggenbrood. Or just appelstroop met kaas op brood.
6:33 bugels the Dutch way.. with Chef, Alpenkruiden from a tube !!
That rolmops at the end is a bit of an acquired taste. For some reason it is also a traditional way to serve herring in Warsaw.
Germans are also nuts about rollmops, so I guess there is just a north sea Baltic rollmops continuum.
@@spinozatheobvious626 Might be, I was a bit surprised by seeing the Dutch spelling in Warsaw as that doesn't really fit Polish grammar.
I always enjoy all your videos, funny and interesting.
Petje af that you both integrate so well 👌😍
When we got married, my Flemish wife and I had this typical Dutch round of "borrelsnacks" at our party.
Bitterballen, mini-frikandellen and Vlammetjes.
The Belgian people were really fond of the bitterballen and vlammetjes, which they thought were miniature lumpias....
I've learned that Bugles are Dutch. They were sold by Smiths, a Dutch chip maker that was set up by a Dutch potato farmer and a British chips distribution company. It is now sold under the Lays brand of PepsiCo.
Smiths is van origine Brits, Google ik net. Niks Nederlands aan tot ze in 1967 hier ook een fabriek neerzetten.
Bitterkoekjes (Macaroons) owe their name to the bitter almonds they contain. This almond species contains the poisonous hydrogen cyanide. The baker I am good friends with told me that he is not allowed to put more than 3% in a cookie, but he did not know the reason. I knew that many fruit seeds contain this poison and that's how we found out why.
Kokosbrood on fresh white bread. Yes
Icecold karnemelk is delicious on a hot summer day.
Even more if you mix some fruit syrup in it: then you get Yoki Drink!
It is also delicious with fresh orange juice, 2/3 karnemelk and 1/3 orange juice
When we’re out of fig jam for our cheese platter we use appelstroop too! It’s really good😍
Appelstroop is definitely a thing in desserts, you can also put it on pancakes instead of regular syrup.
Oh, by any chance, have you tried "Haagse hopjes"? Its a traditional candy, I dont think people have that anywhere else.
is that the coffee candy?
@@buncharted yeah
i think we tried them in the first grocery store food video we did. they’re one of my favorite candies!
@@buncharted There's also a 'haagse hopjes'-flavoured 'vla' (= custard). It's called 'Hopjes vla'. It's light brown and sometimes said to have 'butterscotch' flavour. Like other vla, it's in the refrigerated section in square cartons.
You should eat the Bugles nacho cheese with Heks’nkaas (Heksenkaas). Eating Bugles pure is not that great but dipped in Heks’nkaas it is very lekker. ❤❤❤
Pickeled herring is great when you come home from work , and craving something to eat before dinner!
Alex with the powdered Muisjes on his mustache 😂😂😂That's the funniest thing since very early on where Alex slid off the sofa. The cat always provides humor too! 😼❤
Just a tip you can get the Herring without pickles as well its called Zure Haringen , extra tip eat it with some of the union rings from the bottom of the jar , some people put them on a slice of bread put some of the pickled union rings on top and then eat it by folding the bread , use a plate to prevent dripping of the juices :D
And most important without the pickle you taste more of the herring
You guys are so much fun, really enjoying your videos and your openness! Greetings from a Dutchie who just moved back from Barcelona Spain after many years and who understands some of the things you're going through :)
if you ever get a craving for the good stuff go to jamon jamon in haarlem!
@@buncharted thanks for the tip! that made me think, maybe cool to make a video about the availability of food from other countries and cultures in the Netherlands(there are many supermarkets, shops and restaurants like that). Btw, you're welcome to come to Delft and we'll have a beer and bitterballen :)
Get the pie topping type of cherries for the vlaflip, that has a thick syrup. That is when you like cherry flavour, that has a much stronger cherry flavour.
Lovely seeing another video! For the Bugles I've heard it's really good when you combine it with "Heks'nkaas", which is a; creamcheese, fresh herb and garlic dip.
Karnemelk is probably known better as buttermilk, although from what I've seen online the US buttermilk usually looks way thicker.
And I don't know if the comment section is the place to suggest snacks, but as I was late with the community post last time I'll suggest some stuff right here (some of the stuff is best found in Friesland/Groningen)
- Friese/Groninger Droge worst (dried sauage, borrelsnack. Make sure to remove the skin)
- Heksn'kaas (as stated above, dip it with bugles or cheese)
- Beerenburg (Herby alcoholic beverage from Friesland, similar to Jaegermeister. Very good with some cola)
- Fryske Dumkes (Frisian thumbs, they're cookies)
- Sukerlatten (Sugarplanks(?), also a thick cookie)
- Hete bliksem (It's a stamppot with apples, there are plenty of recipes online!)
I've been a sub for about a week now, really enjoy your content! It's fun seeing other people explore your culture and actually enjoying it. Keep up the good work!
Heksenkaas is terrible. It has an awful sugary sweetness. Because the ingredients are cream cheese, SUGAR, herbs, leek and garlic.
@@stefandebruijn2654gelukkig heeft iedereen een eigen smaak.
Lets be real "Danish chef" cheese out of a tube is the OG filling for bugles
@@stefandebruijn2654 I can't agree more. I tried it a while ago because I was curious what the hype was about and I hated it. It tasted so sweet and artificial.
I love Val Blanc (a cream cheese with garlic and herbs) and was expecting something similar. It was not similar.
@@NLJeffEU I remember that from my student days (early 2000s), and although I don't love it it's much better imo than heksn'kaas. When I do eat bugles I eat them without a dip.
Quality content! Rolmops is the best with Fries roggebrood, and plain Greek yogurt.
Karnemelk taste great at hot summer days. Really refreshing.
Goeiemorgen! Hey Alex do you have mustache I never noticed! 😂 great video again guys!
spot-on for the rolmops!
A lot of people recommended adding limonade syrup to the vlaflip, but if you get it, also add and mix some with it with the karnemelk! My mom used to make that for us when I was a kid and it's very good
Gestampte muisjes are terrific on warm toast with butter, so it kinda melts into the butter. Argh so gooood
3:50 the bubble variant is in a different part of the supermarket.
No bubbles is in the fruit juice aisle whereas bubbles is in the carbonated beverages aisle, were cola and fanta lie.
Lol, I love how you rate the food with stroopwafels
I'm with Michelle - I would have buttermilk (Karnemelk) poured on my head any day rather than eat herring (Rolmops) from a jar.
Pickled herring is lovely!
Kokosbrood is crazy to me as a Belgian, it's basically just coconut brittle rocks but flattened. So sugary even as a treat
When i was a kid Vlaflip we did as "cocktails". Longdrink glass, layer Yogurt and Vla then last you pour in lemonade sirup (ranja siroop, karvan cevitam type sirup), flavour doesnt matter as much mostly personal preference. You used sirup from conserced fruit, which while similar not quite the same.
Bugles are great when you combined them with something like Paturain cream cheese with herbs.
Karnemelk = Buttermilk , this is usually drank with breakfast or lunch instead of normal milk, good for guthealth, also great for baking.
Appelstroop = basically molasses from apples. Great with bacon pancakes.
Vlammetjes are based of Loempia/Eggrolls/Springrolls.
Voor extra smaak, eet de Vlammetjes met wat sweet chilly saus.😊 erg lekker. 😋 thanks for the episode!
Rolmops is so good!! For nexttime i would recommend to get it at the fishmarket, even better❤
When I was growing up in Minnesota, we always had pickled herring at Christmas. Put it on a plain Triscuit and it’s amazing!
i love these types of videos. not just cause of the reactions to the food, but also the attempts to pronounce the words XD
also, sisi is litterally pepsico's version of fanta
just like 7up is pepsico's version of sprite,
and pepsi cola is pepsico's version of coca cola
The way you ate the bugles, i had the thought of the nibb it rings from Cheetos straight away :)
for the vlaflip you use the lemonade syrop that you usually dilude, the cherries you bought are usually for baking pies
we avoided the lemonade syrup since it has sucralose in it 😅😅😅
@@buncharted There is lemonade syrop for sale whiich is purely made of fruit, like bonbébé.
For me the rolmops is one of the options for when I'm looking for a snack. You know...sometimes you want something sweet, sometimes salty. An opened jar stays ok for quite a while in the fridge.
For the vlaflip you are supposed to use siroop that we make ranja with .most known brand is carvan sevitan
Love your video about dutch food .... Subbed .... keep it up you'll get there .... after appelstroop have you tried BEBOGEEN ??? it goes on bread too.
By the way. Bugles are eaten with dip here. Mostly creamcheese based. Or, if you want to get adventurous, sweet chili sauce, or, my favourite, plain sambal oelek, and washed away with plenty of ayran. ❤
you can also try the karne melk with siroop. I have always loved that. my personal favourite is with casis.
Funny you said that about the appelstroop and the vlaflip. I always put appelstroop in my yoghurt.
Love these videos!
The bitterkoekjes that I'm used to are more crunchy on the outside and sort of melt in your mouth. That texture is my favorite thing about them so i advice you to try some bitterkoekjes from other places as well ❤ (sorry i dont have a specific recommendation cause my mom always bought them and idk from where)
we’re going to try the ones from our local banketbakkerij!
There's a Dutch 'poem' (nursery rhyme? Idk) that goes 'kleine muisjes hebben kleine wensen: beschuitjes met gestampte mensen'. Little mice have small wishes, rusk with mashed people. A word play on the gestampte muisjes, of course ☺️
Ohhh I love Tokkelroom!!
12:45 OMG, ive never thought about appelstroop in de vlaflip before!!! That’s actually genius. Imma try it as soon as i can
The appelstroop with vla may be a very good idea! I’m dutch, never tried that before! ❤
Thick slice of white bread, thick coat of real butter, kokosbrood erop, lekker 🤤!!
Try 100% appelstroop too. If it says 'Rinse' that means it's made of sugar beet and just a little bit of apple. Rinse appelstroop uses 160 gram of apples per 100 gram product, the pure appelstroop uses 780 gram apples per 100g.
Have you ever tried smoked eel?
yep! we tried it for the first time in our haarlem video :)
16:28 vlammetjes, some beers and bingewatching any series
I guess the appelstroop/old cheese combo works because of the mix of sweet and salt, which kind of reinforce each other.
I moved from The Netherlands to the US about 15 years ago. The only things I still get from The Netherlands are: Cheese, Appelstroop, Ketjap Manis, Kroepoek, Vlokken and Suikerbrood. Sometimes kokosbrood, but haven't had it in decades.
karnemelk with a boterham with goatcheese and slices of cucumber and peper and salt (a liiiiitle bit) and its so good in combi!!
I love appelstroop in yogurt, never thought to add vanilla vla as well! Might give it a try next time :)
Tip: put the bitterkoekjes in a bowl of vanillevla en keep it overnight. Delicious.
First of all: don't store stroop in the fridge! 🧐
But for the Vla Flip you can heat up the Appelstroop and stir in some water, so when it's cooled down you get a syrup that you can pour, like schenkstroop! 👌🏼
And the combination of salty and sweet like with the old cheese, also works with spek pannenkoeken en keukenstroop! 🤤✌🏼
Yeahh, i just love the reactions on dutch food and snacks, did you ever think about learning the dutch people some typical American food or snacks and how to make them with dutch groceries?
we sort of did this a few months ago! th-cam.com/video/YeID2tbuAkQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=B7Sm6jWLtDjPqUC-
@@buncharted
Yes ive seen that, but sort of a cooking guide, a how to make our own cookies the American way, or how to make the best oven style slowcook meat of some sort...
I dont know what you bake or make with grandma kind of cooking.
Nothing out of packaging, just raw materials.
Would love to see that.
Vanillevla met chocolade hageslag mixed through it. It tastes master.
ooh yum!
Soak your chicken tenders overnight in a bowl with 0.5 liter karnemelk, 1/2 tsp salt and 2 tsp hot sauce. That's the only thing I'm using karnemelk for 😅
My dad always made us vlaflip when I was younger and thought he made this genius invention. Until later in life they started selling pre-made vlaflip in the store and I realized he did not invent it🙈 he always used strawberry limonadesiroop for the vlaflip. I always mixed it though, to create a nice pink mix
😂😂😂
A nice variation is with brown sugar and cinnamon, use a big bowl and a mixer to make it a bit frothy.
Karnemelk is awesome on a hot day. Mix it with some lemonade syrup or tang or so if you like - we did when we were kids.
Yeah I'd take that yoghurt shower over a rolmops every day of the week!
I thought it was the karnemelk, looked a bit thin for yoghurt.
What I like to do with jodenkoeken is have the cinnamon one and dip in either coffee or in tea
14:38 ohnoo ALWAYS butter haha 😜mmm kokosbrood vond ik zo lekker altijd, ik ga morgen naar de Appie hiervoor 😍
the syrup in the vla flip is called grenadine.
Karnemelk tip: add a little sirop (like strawberry or something.) Just add like 1/10 to a glas and stir. It makes Karnemelk much more drinkable. I used to drink this as a kid.
My favourite is sinaasappelsiroop. Opa brought that home from work. He worked at Hero. And the other Ops at Nibbit.
Rolmops is also great hang-over food :D
Vlaflip is with Roosvice.
Yeaaaah, Vlammetjes! Try 'em with some peanut sauce next time!
Shake the karnemelk good before drinking. coconut slice on bread. Hering with Hutspot :)
Fun video thanks.
Try the apple stroop on a pancake. Its amazing.
And now I want to have rolmops with roasted potatoes for dinner. And the best stroop for a bacon and/or cheese pancake is appelstroop.
You can also replace the cherry sirop with fresh fruit or jam 🤗 in the fla vlip
Try the Bugels with heksenkaas! It’s divine
Try karnemelk with limonade siroop or Roosvicee, it's delicious!
Try the karnemelk mixed with fresh orange juice 🥰
Bugles met roomkaas (garlan) is heaven 😍
You should eat Bugles filled with Danish Chef Cheese Spread and/ or Heks'nkaas
Was weer een leuke video, groeten uit Curacao 🙂 Ik ga even 4 hamburgers in de air fryer gooien en dan 2 boterhammen en een eetlepel mayo en een tomaatje,ijsbergsla,uitjes on top 🙂
