- I invited Josh and Ash from the Way Away - to come over to my house and eat some very special treats ;)
I was curious how they would react to our Drop (aka Liquorice) so that's what we tried. From sweet drop to salty, and of course some Salmiak. Hope you'll enjoy!

They're so much more respectful and open minded than the people in every other video trying foreign foods
It makes my mouth water watching you eating heerlijke dropjes. Love the napoleon zwart wit balls!
😂 Ahahaaa. Nice. Very fun time. Thanks Gretl!
:D yeah! Thanx for coming over :) Next time I'll just bake apple pie ;)
😍 OH you KNOW we love the Dutch apple pie!
+WΔY ΔWΔY 😁😁😁
Holland and its love of Drop. Two tastes come together the salt of Amonium chloride (salmiak) and an extract from the roots of the licorice plant, which in dutch is called zoethout. Together with a binding agent usualy gum arabic (arabische gom in dutch). Makes the chewy salty goodness that is licorice or Drop in dutch.
Erik Stoop Thanx 😀😀😀😀
Ik snap heel goed dat je niet meteen de link legt tussen zoethout en drop/licorice. Bij zoethout denken wij toch meer aan zo'n zoethouttakje waar je op sabbelt of de theevariant met een zelfde smaak.
Ug, it tastes like ammonia, like rotting meat would taste if you ate it. Tried the
kind that looks like coins.
I really like how you were down to earth (not as loud and over-done as others) and how you brought several versions of the drop. What more can we ask, haha, you've defineately earned a thumbs up ^_^
I keep coming back to this one. I love your house too, I just realized that.
It's been two years, still stand by my previous statement
I love dutch licorice! Some Dutch friends of my family introduced it to us and now I love it so much more than regular black licorice!
Love it! Only missing the Dubbelzout!
Surprised at how well they accepted all these different kinds of drop. My reaction trying the salty one for the first time was spitting it out immediately! :) Just got to your channel from theirs, leuk hoor ;)
+Marjorie Rodrigues me too 😁😁 en leuk dat je er bent 😀😀
Interesting. Almost all the candy in Iceland is licorice flavor. 🇮🇸
Cool! Didn't know that :)
And in Sweden, Denmark and Finland. :)
Yhe, it's something we like in western Europe
I love her curly hair. I am going to The Netherlands at the end of May 2018. I am really excited. I know I will love it there.
Have fun in NL :)
I most certainly will. Dank u wel:)
First time on your channel and I'm hooked! This was hilarious 🤣
I had the schoolkrijt which I found in the USA in specialty shops. It is like good-n-plenty but much better licorice inside. I love them
+Kinnish cool! They're nice and kind of weird. Never liked them much myself honestly ;)
I love your enthusiasm ❤️❤️❤️❤️
If you know chemistry you know that normal food salt consists of a cation Sodium (Na+) and an anion Chloride (Cl-) but in Dutch licorice another salt also is used with the name of Salmiak: a cation Ammonia (NH4+) and an anion Cloride (Cl-) with this special flavor that you like or hate :)
Salmiak Riksen from a company called Klene are by far my favorite.
There's a bag of those in the car's center console at all times... or an emtpy bag :(
This is great. You guys have great atmosphere together.
+John Thanx John 😁😀
I tried some dutch chocolates here in the Philippines, I can see immediately the quality from how it was packed. It wasn't sweet at all but it was really good and comes in a cheap price!
+Kim Zafra sounds good! Belgium is more famous for chocolate though 😁 they make the best!
@Gretl, you could be right but never tried one and obviously it is expensive. By the way what is your height? You look thinner beside the american girl.
that is was very funny i love holland and dutch people very friendly
:D
I will be there in August. I cant wait to try the Double Decker!
Cool! :D Let me know if you enjoyed them ;)
came from the Way Away, enjoyed the reactions to Dropje...
+Psychphuq haha - cool! Dropje also means 'sweetheart' in Dutch ;)
You missed out on double salty liquorice..tried it once on a couple of Kiwi's , they didnt thank me for the experience ? :)
Whahaha - I can imagine 😉😉 was looking for it to be honest but did not find it!
The trick is lure them into a false sense of security. Start off with Stroopwafels, Poffertjes etc, then on the end give them double salt drop. The look of shock and betrayal in their eyes is priceless
Napoleon has some nice fruit flavors too
Yeah! Like them better actually :)
Are those the guys you welcomed them with food at the station?One of my first email addresses was wayawyy... By the way :)
Haha, it was?! I welcomed my partner from my business with food - but should do it with Josh and Ash too next time ;)
Vind het wel grappig dit soort reacties van die gasten uit Amerika, mijn oom en tante kwamen altijd met een koffer vol peper vanuit Californië naar Nederland en gingen met een koffer vol met drop terug.
LOTS OF ASIAN CARRYING GROCERY STORES HAVE THIS TAMARIND candies...try to look for either THAI, FILIPINO AND VIETNAMESE Brands...here in the Philippines it is even found in the shelves of a famous drug chain because of it's medicinal liver cleansing properties....
my favorite is Munten drop
Nice video guys!
Enjoyed your video !!
:D
Very well done! How come you d'rop!
underrated comment
Dutch candy can be like French mustard, at first you think...but then it kicks in.
Wish you many bitterballen.
😂😂😁😁
Have you decided where you're going to be traveling next, Gretl?
Yes! But I can't tell yet since I am not certain when it will happen :) I have a voucher from KLM since they cancelled my flight last time so 800 euro still to spend on flight tickets :D
This was fun Gretel - Josh and Ash
are a super couple. Will check out
their channel. Ditch dropjes sound
awfil and dangerous. Luckily I do
not like candy. Only our Swiss
chocolate - that is yummy.
:D Cool! Haha, they're not for everyone ;) Swiss chocolate is definitely on top of my list too!!!
HAVE YOU TRIED THE TAMARIND CANDY...??? And its spicy version...sweet, sour, salty....and that spicy bite in it w/ the other version...healthy...and very yummy!!!
+Kloyd Arne Peña I don't believe I did...
Travel Gretl @ then try the tamarind candies NOW w/ your WAY AWAY friends...be sure to have that spicy variant...you will remember me...and LOVE ME for it...CHEERS GUYS!!!
How can one be afraid of liquorish powder? Except for getting totally addicted.
Haha leuk, maar je hebt wel de honingdrop en de trekdrop gemist! :D
Haha, klopt! ;)
Cool video, love the hair :)
+alteredillusions100 😊😊
JA DAG NU HEB IK ZIN IN DROP! THANKS 😂😌
Whahaha, sorry!
try triple salt, my favorite
Very close with Swedish,because heksenhyl is Danish liquorice.
Didn't know that! :)
Are we really the only country we have those weird flavors as sweets? Even in Belgium they don't have it... Cool video.
+Dutch Nomad Couple I believe some scandinavian countries have their own way with it as well 😊😊😊
Salty liquorice is big thing also in Germany, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Sweden and Norway :) so you could generally say its a Northern European thing :)
see gretl you made many friends...
:)
zoethoutwortel extract is Salt wood root extract
Thanx
Lakritze...ist denk ich in deutschland nicht so beliebt ! waroom vinden nederlanders dropjes so lekker ?
Geen idee...... ik ben er zelf niet zo'n fan van, maar mijn moeder at ze met bakken toen ik klein was ;)
Geef hun zoethout stokjes?
I love how almost every foreigner hates licorice
Hahaha
I guess I'm not like most Americans in that I love salty licorice even the double salt variety.😁
anise candy? can't imagine how it taste..
Like medicine 😉😉😂😂
Onok Island "The Hidden Paradise"
you are very good
Hey..wayawayers are here... :))) Gretl you have,how can i say some kind of actress fabric... just a moment i dreamt that u r a character in an oscar film..u should think about it maybe u might be role in a movie...really these are my intimate comments...
Hahaha, I dream about receiving an oscar one day - but that will never happen in real life ;)
Zoethout is liquorish.
+shesatijn1 ah - that explains 😂😂😁😁
NOOOO, dont leave licorish in your car, in the summer it melts into a big lump! (I know).
I was also looking for a good dropjesvideo ("eating dutch drop") and this one came first. It was indeed a good video, but it would be better if they didn't like it so much....
You should have tried napoleon lemon.
Yeah! Love them much better myself :D but it felt like cheating cause I made a dropjes test ;)
Have a bagful of those...better it has that spice in it...will eventually last longer than one or two sittings...ha,ha,ha!;-)
Nice video..
+John Bell thanx!
new subscriber
yay
Cool :D Welcome :D
I don't like licorice. I'm more of a dark chocolate kinda guy. Have a great day G!
Cool! Love dark chocolate too, but I noticed it's not of everyones liking. As is the liquorice ;)
You guys are all gorgeous. Although Gretl and Ashley might be a bit more gorgeous than Josh!😉😉😆😆
ha ha ha ha let them try...isaw, where the pof chicken resides...
+Michael Angeles haha - would love too but it's impossible to get that here ;)
