De meeste Rotterdammers komen niet of nauwelijks in Boymans 🤔 maar in Parijs proberen ze de Mona Lisa te zien 😮💨 leuk, maar valt eigenlijk tamelijk tegen.
A visit to Haarlem without a visit to the oldest museum? Teylers museum, reason to come again to Haarlem and have a look at that magnificent old station.
This was fun to watch for a Haarlem resident. Though I had to suppress screaming at the screen for all the great stuff you were missing out on. Teyler's Museum, Frans Hals Museum, bloemencorso, Great Bavo interior, the weird history of the V&D building, etcetera. Keep up the good work.
@4:00 Elisabeth Gasthuis: I was born there! From '73 to the early 90's it was "De Egelantier". I have been teaching there for a few years. I like your videos, you show a different perspective than most travellers.
At the fish stall, I recommend "Broodje Hollandse Garnalen" and "Broodje Makreel" and "Gebakken mosselen" (fried mussels) and ... and ... and.... You two somehow always make me hungry 😄
Hi Michelle and Alex, fun video, as always! I love watching all of your videos to gain a sense of living in the Netherlands. I plan on moving to NL in September, can't wait!! In the meantime, I will keep watching your videos to stay in touch with my hopeful new home.
We love Haarlem going again in Jan and of course our third King's day both in 25, for our 8th stay there. Our favorite town in Europe. The small local pubs should be on your list. El Bens and Wapen van Bakenes, just hanging out at the Botermarkt
You’re always welcome to see more of my beautiful city Haarlem, where I was Born and still live. There is so much history, I would not know where to start. There are two St. Bavo churches, The Grote of St. Bavo chuch at the market, and the Catheral Basilica St. Bavo at the Leidsevaart.
Smoked eel is best eaten "from the bone". Doing the work, the taste is that more rewarding. And other good fish (sea food) to eat are: gerookte makreel, lekkerbekje, Hollandse garnalen and Zeeuwse mosselen.
For fish I would recommend broodje garnalen (shrimp) or garnalenkroket. Broodje makrel with a little bit, but just a dash of mayo. You want to have the taste of fish still. Also next time visit Teylers, the oldest museum of the Netherlands, also very beautiful building inside.
I’m glad you enjoyed your time in our ‘Hood’, it’s worth coming back another day, maybe on a Saturday once the Kermis has departed! Always something to see, and something to eat/drink.
Nice to see you guys having fun in my city! The market moved to other streets, because of the fair. To bad you didn’t stumble upon it. T goede uur is amazing indeed. The first restaurant were i ate with my wife when we met. From 3-6 august there is Haarlem culinair on de grote markt. A place for restaurants to promote themself with small bites. Definitely your kind of deal!
So you missed the bloemencorso. Preparation is key. I once drove to New Orleans only to discover the famous jazz festival ended a day before we arrived :(
There are 2 Dutch words that can describe koningsdag very well. It has no good translation into english but there are 2 words. The first word is "gezelligheid" the second is "kneuterigheid" . Once you understand these words you will be truly Dutch 🇳🇱.
I would really love some Dutch rain now. I’m in Arizona and it’s already freakishly hot. I hate rain but when you have days with temperatures above 100F / 37,7C you wish for something to cool you down 🥵
Thank you fore you're vlog. It is fun. If you return to Haarlem, you should see Teylers museum. It is one of the eldest museums. Its a bout art and sceince. It is by its self a beautiful old building.
Nice to see your vlogs. Clearly you guys are more into food than architecture and beautiful buildings. I just kept thinking: Why don't you guys go up in the ferris wheel! That would have been such a nice shot! Why did you not show the interior of Haarlem station. you were actually there! But still, it's nice to see that you are exploring the Netherlands. Have fun.
Nice videos. 👍👍 I guess the pronunciation of the 'a' in Dutch words is the most tricky letter for English speakers. Dutch has 2 a-sounds. The short 'a' which sounds like the a in the English Harlem, car, what. The Dutch long 'aa' is unknown in English, but the English "I" (...me) would be written in Dutch as 'aai', so leave the ending sound out of 'I' and you have the perfect Dutch 'aa' sound. The tricky thing in Dutch is that a so-called "open syllable", ending on an a,e,o,u is written with 1 vowel but pronounced as a long vowel. So written "pa-ling" is pronounced as 'paa-ling', due to the open syllable. Same goes for the e,o,u
A double aa is simple, it's always the long a-sound. Haar-lem also has a 'closed' vowel. so pretty strait forward. Same voor e,o,u With 1 'a' it gets a bit tricky. You have to find the vowel and decide if it's an 'open' syllable (long a-sound) or a 'closed' syllable (short a-sound). So: "dak" (eng: roof) is a closed syllable, so short a-sound. "daken" (eng: roofs) is a open syllable, so long a-sound (pronounce "daa-ken"). or: "pan" (eng: pan) is a closed syllable, so short a-sound. "pannen" (eng: pans) is also an closed syllable, so short a-sound (pronounce: "pan-nen"). other examples: 1 bus, 2 bus-sen. (short u-sound, short u-sound) 1 haar, 2 ha-ren. (long a-sound; long a-sound) 1 jas, 2 jas-sen (short a-sound; short a-sound) 1 hand, 2 han-den (short a-sound; short a-sound) 1 buur, 2 bu-ren (long u-sound, long u-sound) 1 been, 2 be-nen (long e-sound; long e-sound) 1 doos, 2 do-zen (long o-sound; long o-sound), the s-z switch is another thing.... :( 1 bos, 2 bos-sen (short o-sound; short o-sound)
Ah, my home town and I have good memories, about wijn en kaas in 't goede uur! Like once in a lifetime memories (won't tell you what it was) but it was expensive, but worth it. I actually wondered lately if it still exists. I was there 35 years ago and nothing changed apparently. I heard they recently changed the name of one of the St Bavo churches (there is an old one you were, and a new one just over the canal near wijn en kaas in 't goede uur). The new one is also worth a visit, by the way. Impressive cathedral. If you go inside the old Bavo, you can find a 17th century tombstone with the shortest text in the world on it. "Ik". (I). Can it get more renaissance than that?
I know It’s not fish but you’ll get it at a fishstore. You have to try krukels or alikruiken or kreukels. Those are different names for the same thing. Good luck. Krukels are yumm!!
Again great video!! Do you have Madurodam on your list? Another special village is Baarle-Nassau. This is on the border with Belgium. The frontier line goes through the village.
Gerookte makreel, gebakken mosselen ("met spek en uitjes", will require a restaurant), Try paling on melba toast. If you like fish, try find some Scandinavian products in the fish shop. Gravad Lacks, gaffel bitter, and many types of pickled herring that go extremely well on fresh toast or knäckebrod.
I also visited Haarlem last saturday, it's a shame you missed the "bloemen corso" it was beautiful. If you have never been to such a thing a recommend it. there are alot of them in the flower region and in north-holland.
If you want to see a flower parade, why not the biggest in the world? #CorsoZundert in the city of Zundert southern of Breda always the first Sunday of September, and if you come in the days before you can help with the build (every year there are tourists who come back to help and even the zunderttenaren who live abroad make this the season to come home and work at the floats). If you miss the parade they’re displayed at Monday as well to be demolished on Tuesday. If September third (or 4 September) doesn’t suit you guys they’re displaying the scale models at aardbeienfeesten (strawberry festival including free strawberry stands 🍓 10 & 11 June ‘23.
Too bad that you didn't stay for the flower parade, it's worth to see what creations were made and also the flowers are so fresh that you really can smell the fresh flowers on such a great car. You could have taken a train to Heemstede (around the corner) after dinner where the parade was at around 8-9 pm. You may put it on the list for next year of course. Further I agree that Haarlem really is a beautiful lovely city. Actually it's a little bit like Amsterdam, but then with more 'class' and not so many tourists and no stag-parties. Love your channel!
you are right - we should have done the heemstede stop to see it earlier. we were so unprepared for the parade! we will definitely have to catch it next year.
My parents had there marriage diner in het Goede Uur. Indeed an old restaurant. You had some shit weather indeed let’s Saturday. Awaiting your Kingsday upload 😊 I recommend Amsterdam for that one. Greats from Haarlem
@ 6:37 I might have missed it in previous video's (if so, I'm sorry 🙈), but have you ever tried "Droge worst" in The Netherlands? It's on the top of that chalk board.
You know what is delicious? Smoked eel in puff pastry, like a ‘saucijzenbroodje’, but the minced meat is replaced by smoked eel. My mother always made this on New Years Eve (Oudejaarsavond).
Did you drink Jopen Koyt? That's my favorite Jopen beer. Haarlem is a very nice city. My daughter lives in Haarlem en she enjoys it very much. I worked in the city centre for 10 years at the court.
I was thinking what does it mean "Buncharted" and now I think I know :" it's a "bunch uncharted" volgs put cleverly together. Or just "B(e) Uncharted "
Have you already heard, that you are not made of sugar, so you can go out in the rain. It is an old Dutch proverb and you will have understood it by now. Nothing gets done if you stay in while raining.
That's Raclette not Fondue 😛 A real fondue is still made of several cheeses and also the mix can be a variety. (Well the OG is of course Gruyere and Emmentaler, some garlic, white wine, and a splash of kirsch (schnapps made of sour cherries) in a ceramic pot. Nothing wrong with Raclette of course 🙂
I'm not familiar in Haarlem. But they say it's known for pronunciation of the language and the term is algemeen beschaafd nederlands (abn) and the difference is like the word school. English is same spelling but sounds like skoel like shoe. Haarlem school and in Gouda sounds more like schol. Also a fish. So haarlem is known for perfect pronunciation. Fish. Haring is of course a seafish, lekkerbek and kibbeling the expensive type is cod. Or another type of whitefish like haak so both saltwater fish. Paling = eel is a freshwater fish. Endangered species and catching is regulated/limited. I can tell you something about cheese. I worked at a warehouse where cheese was going through a riping process, the longer the stronger the taste is. I think i explained this before and how it's maintained. If not ask. But I think what people mean by saying try some cheese from the market because they have more variety of farmers cheese. Supermarket cheese produced in large quantity is made from pasteurized milk and farmers cheese often from raw milk. At a supermarket you can find cheese that's a streekproduct/regional product from a farm so also raw milk. And on the market visa versa. I think you have to ask the seller if it's not on the label. Raw or pasteurized, the taste is different. And there's local differences and factors are like type of soil the grass grows on and what herbs grow in fields in this location and even how close to the sea the grass is. In the west there are differences in taste and also different from cheese made in the east of the nederlands. And don't throw away a block of cheese with a bit of mold. Just cut the moldy part off and the rest is perfectly fine for consumption. Jopen beer. Not a big fan of ipa's. Too hoppy for me.
I think you can compare cheese making a bit with whisky. Blended or single malt. A blended is cheaper and more like a supermarket cheese. A single malt is like a farmers cheese from 1 farm and it's fields and supermarket from milk from a lot of farms and pasteurised. Distance from the sea, by that i mean the influence of salty air. Air condenses on fields in the night with temp differences. That has an effect on the grass the cows eat. Thats what i mean by distranse from the sea if you are wondering what i meant. .
Interesting is that the centre of Alkmaar and Haarlem looks like eachother. Btw there is the cheesemarket I think you liked smoked makrel, and scholletjes (don't know the English word)
Paling (eel) has been struggling to survive for some years now, so if you like herring just the same, pls go for the herring next time! The herring population is much more robust.
Indeed, haven't had a paling in years because the Spaniards eat them by the hundreds at once when they are still baby eels. Remarkable that only the Japanese and the Dutch seem to appreciate the eel as a delicacy, Japanese tend to like the raw herring too but otherwise the cuisines are very different, also when it comes to international respect.
@@AlexK-yr2thThe term ’Eel farms' suggests eels are born and raised on the farms, but don't the farms get their young eels from nature as newborn baby eels don't survive in captivity? Isn't it fair to say a species is struggling when their population has declined by 90% in 50 years? Even if there are a lot of initiatives to reintroduce them and to add fish migration features to the rivers and canals. Let's just hope these measures help to make the eel population robust, for the eels sake and the people that rely on them for their income.
For Your Top 5 Fish you can put Lekkerbek and Gebakken Tong But Olso Gebakken Mosselen very good and i am Jan a dutch Vlogger with olso my own channel "De Bataafse Mossel" i life and born in Small City IJmuiden that is about 20 Minute From Haarlem and we have the Biggest Fish Harbor with The Market where the sell the fish to the Fish Stores on hole off the netherland an you now Lekkerbek and olso Kibbeling that make first time in IJmuiden ans soon was going to every place in Netherland so if have time visid the small city to
hah, "jopen" was the name of the barrels they stored the beer in. guess that's where the names of the barrels came from? (referencing en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jopen )
The European eel is a critically endangered species and probably shouldnt be on anybody's menu. 😵💫 If youre into cheese, skip factory cheese and always choose "Boerenkaas", thats guaranteed (by EU law) Artisan cheese, made on a cheesefarm from animals of that same farm. Great vlogs! Keep them coming!
@@AlexK-yr2th If it was possible to farm eels, we might have found the solution for the survival of this species. However, baby eels do not survive in captivity and thus farmed eel is *nothing less than wild-caught baby eel which has been grown out in a nursery*. My facts come from ICES (the intergovernmental marine science organization with a network of nearly 6000 scientists from over 700 marine institutes in 20 member countries). And here is what they say about restocking eel: ICES notes that the restocking of eels (the practice of adding eels to a waterbody from another source) is considered a “conservation measure” in the EU regulation and in many eel management plans for achieving the 40% escapement target on all EMUs (Eel Management Unit). Restocking is reliant on a glass eel fishery catch, which is in contradiction with the current advice. The net benefit of restocking of eels to reproductive potential of the stock is unknown. It requires information on e.g. carrying capacity estimates of glass eel source estuaries, detailed mortality estimates at each step of the restocking process, and performance estimates of stocked vs. non-stocked eels. ICES advises that given the above mentioned uncertainties and potential harmful effects (ICES 2016b), and following the precautionary approach, *any catch for restocking should not be allowed*.’’ 😲
People really should'nt eat European eel anymore . Its on the endangered species list . It can not be bred in captivity so its completely unsustainable . We are eating it into extinction! Still love your videos :)
@@buncharted I ment to type hom but the program kicked in: hom is fish sperm, kuit is fish eggs (kaviar!) If you buy a harde bokking, which is a smoked herring you are in for a lottery: sometimes you get a female fish loaded with fish eggs, a real treat in my opinion.
Super leuk jullie vlogs.
In dit tempo hebben jullie al snel meer van Nederland gezien dan de gemiddelde Nederlander;-)
dankjewel ❤️ 🇳🇱
De meeste Rotterdammers komen niet of nauwelijks in Boymans 🤔 maar in Parijs proberen ze de Mona Lisa te zien 😮💨 leuk, maar valt eigenlijk tamelijk tegen.
Nice to be a tourist in my own country through your eyes.
A visit to Haarlem without a visit to the oldest museum? Teylers museum, reason to come again to Haarlem and have a look at that magnificent old station.
The BEST city in the world , not just cos i live there
This was fun to watch for a Haarlem resident. Though I had to suppress screaming at the screen for all the great stuff you were missing out on. Teyler's Museum, Frans Hals Museum, bloemencorso, Great Bavo interior, the weird history of the V&D building, etcetera. Keep up the good work.
From one American in this country to another, I'm a fan of ya'll vlogs! Maybe we'll run into each other at King's Day in Rotterdam! :)
hey, thank you very much! we'll keep an eye out for you 👀 👑
Hi Sam!!
@4:00 Elisabeth Gasthuis: I was born there! From '73 to the early 90's it was "De Egelantier". I have been teaching there for a few years. I like your videos, you show a different perspective than most travellers.
At the fish stall, I recommend "Broodje Hollandse Garnalen" and "Broodje Makreel" and "Gebakken mosselen" (fried mussels) and ... and ... and.... You two somehow always make me hungry 😄
Love it
A am from haarlem.
Hillegom
To fill out the fish top 5: Lekkerbekje (deepfried cod filet) and... smoked mackerel perhaps or "mosselen".
For smoked eel you have to be around the former zuiderzee in summer. Smoked eel is best eaten warm, straight from the smoker(rokerij).
Deep fried mussels with garlic sauce and of course an absolute must eat: Dutch tiny shrimps on a bun, broodje Hollandse garnalen, with cocktail sauce
Hi Michelle and Alex, fun video, as always! I love watching all of your videos to gain a sense of living in the Netherlands. I plan on moving to NL in September, can't wait!! In the meantime, I will keep watching your videos to stay in touch with my hopeful new home.
For some reason I had missed this one! If you find yourselves back in Haarlem let us buy you a coffee/beer/beverage of choice.
We love Haarlem going again in Jan and of course our third King's day both in 25, for our 8th stay there. Our favorite town in Europe. The small local pubs should be on your list. El Bens and Wapen van Bakenes, just hanging out at the Botermarkt
We loved Haarlem and it was the only day it wasn’t raining when we’re in in Netherlands end of March!
Gerookte paling is amazing! I love it also on a white bun.
You’re always welcome to see more of my beautiful city Haarlem, where I was Born and still live. There is so much history, I would not know where to start.
There are two St. Bavo churches, The Grote of St. Bavo chuch at the market, and the Catheral Basilica St. Bavo at the Leidsevaart.
I used to live in Haarlem and miss it everyday. Would love to move back to the Netherlands
😉😊 keep it going nice job
I am from Haarlem myself, still live there. Was fun to see your experience of the city. 👍
Smoked eel is best eaten "from the bone". Doing the work, the taste is that more rewarding. And other good fish (sea food) to eat are: gerookte makreel, lekkerbekje, Hollandse garnalen and Zeeuwse mosselen.
The trainstation of Haarlem is one of the oldest in de Netherlands. The old command tower is still in place. It looks like a bridge of a ship
nice video with nice fooood
For fish I would recommend broodje garnalen (shrimp) or garnalenkroket. Broodje makrel with a little bit, but just a dash of mayo. You want to have the taste of fish still. Also next time visit Teylers, the oldest museum of the Netherlands, also very beautiful building inside.
I’m glad you enjoyed your time in our ‘Hood’, it’s worth coming back another day, maybe on a Saturday once the Kermis has departed! Always something to see, and something to eat/drink.
Yes, the market in Haarlem is so nice, you can buy a lot of different things, paling is so good! Great video! 👍👌
May I suggest that you also try mussels and Dutch shrimps for your top 5! Thumbs up!

ou need to try a freshly smoked eel esp one you still need to peel yourself they are soooo good
hi, from 16 till 20 august there is a jazz-festival in Haarlem,highly recommended
Wat een leuke video weer. Was in februari in Haarlem. Great city!
So you missed the bloemencorso. Preparation is key. I once drove to New Orleans only to discover the famous jazz festival ended a day before we arrived :(
Your last favorite of the fishy bunch can be "Lekkerbek". 😋

For your fish top 5 maybe try something with mackerel

it’s been sunny and in the high 60s here lately 😁
gerookte makreel should be on your top 5 fish foods,

Fish addition: Makreel and Lekkerbekje.
can't wait for the epsiode in which you guys eat the zeeuwse mosselen
soon :)
And today the major festivities of King's day are in Rotterdam, with the Royal House even visiting your city.
So I am curious what will be your take.

I guess the pronunciation of the 'a' in Dutch words is the most tricky letter for English speakers. Dutch has 2 a-sounds. The short 'a' which sounds like the a in the English Harlem, car, what. The Dutch long 'aa' is unknown in English, but the English "I" (...me) would be written in Dutch as 'aai', so leave the ending sound out of 'I' and you have the perfect Dutch 'aa' sound. The tricky thing in Dutch is that a so-called "open syllable", ending on an a,e,o,u is written with 1 vowel but pronounced as a long vowel. So written "pa-ling" is pronounced as 'paa-ling', due to the open syllable. Same goes for the e,o,u
so how should we be pronouncing haarlem? this is super helpful!
@@buncharted double a,e,o or u are elongated sounds. So aa sounds like the a in amount. Maybe even more sustained.
Even better is the last a in Canada
A double aa is simple, it's always the long a-sound. Haar-lem also has a 'closed' vowel. so pretty strait forward. Same voor e,o,u
With 1 'a' it gets a bit tricky. You have to find the vowel and decide if it's an 'open' syllable (long a-sound) or a 'closed' syllable (short a-sound).
So: "dak" (eng: roof) is a closed syllable, so short a-sound. "daken" (eng: roofs) is a open syllable, so long a-sound (pronounce "daa-ken").
or: "pan" (eng: pan) is a closed syllable, so short a-sound. "pannen" (eng: pans) is also an closed syllable, so short a-sound (pronounce: "pan-nen").
other examples:
1 bus, 2 bus-sen. (short u-sound, short u-sound)
1 haar, 2 ha-ren. (long a-sound; long a-sound)
1 jas, 2 jas-sen (short a-sound; short a-sound)
1 hand, 2 han-den (short a-sound; short a-sound)
1 buur, 2 bu-ren (long u-sound, long u-sound)
1 been, 2 be-nen (long e-sound; long e-sound)
1 doos, 2 do-zen (long o-sound; long o-sound), the s-z switch is another thing.... :(
1 bos, 2 bos-sen (short o-sound; short o-sound)

ooooh - we definitely will :)
@ 6:37 I might have missed it in previous video's (if so, I'm sorry 🙈), but have you ever tried "Droge worst" in The Netherlands? It's on the top of that chalk board.
we haven't! how do you typically eat it - with cheese and bread?
Just as it is, as a snack or with a borrel
Try a 'lekkerbekje' next time when you are at a fish stall.
It looks like that in all cities you’re giving a foodblog, instead of sightseeing
food is a big reason we like to travel
You know what is delicious? Smoked eel in puff pastry, like a ‘saucijzenbroodje’, but the minced meat is replaced by smoked eel. My mother always made this on New Years Eve (Oudejaarsavond).

Haarlem is a very nice city. My daughter lives in Haarlem en she enjoys it very much. I worked in the city centre for 10 years at the court.
we didn't - but i googled it and it sounds tasty! i got the non-alcoholic "ginger IPA" and michelle got a gose :)

smoked mackrel , or smoked salmon sandwich😋

not yet - it’s a christmas thing, right? or is it year round?
@@buncharted traditional during the Holidays, but perfect for any gathering of friends.
Have you already heard, that you are not made of sugar, so you can go out in the rain.
It is an old Dutch proverb and you will have understood it by now. Nothing gets done if you stay in while raining.

We are here early, first up is lunch. Lol
haha
we actually went to the markets first but put them after lunch in the vlog -- guess we slipped up a bit there 😅
That's Raclette not Fondue 😛 A real fondue is still made of several cheeses and also the mix can be a variety. (Well the OG is of course Gruyere and Emmentaler, some garlic, white wine, and a splash of kirsch (schnapps made of sour cherries) in a ceramic pot. Nothing wrong with Raclette of course 🙂
I'm not familiar in Haarlem. But they say it's known for pronunciation of the language and the term is algemeen beschaafd nederlands (abn) and the difference is like the word school. English is same spelling but sounds like skoel like shoe. Haarlem school and in Gouda sounds more like schol. Also a fish. So haarlem is known for perfect pronunciation.
Fish. Haring is of course a seafish, lekkerbek and kibbeling the expensive type is cod. Or another type of whitefish like haak so both saltwater fish. Paling = eel is a freshwater fish. Endangered species and catching is regulated/limited.
I can tell you something about cheese. I worked at a warehouse where cheese was going through a riping process, the longer the stronger the taste is. I think i explained this before and how it's maintained. If not ask.
But I think what people mean by saying try some cheese from the market because they have more variety of farmers cheese. Supermarket cheese produced in large quantity is made from pasteurized milk and farmers cheese often from raw milk. At a supermarket you can find cheese that's a streekproduct/regional product from a farm so also raw milk. And on the market visa versa. I think you have to ask the seller if it's not on the label. Raw or pasteurized, the taste is different. And there's local differences and factors are like type of soil the grass grows on and what herbs grow in fields in this location and even how close to the sea the grass is. In the west there are differences in taste and also different from cheese made in the east of the nederlands. And don't throw away a block of cheese with a bit of mold. Just cut the moldy part off and the rest is perfectly fine for consumption.
Jopen beer. Not a big fan of ipa's. Too hoppy for me.
I think you can compare cheese making a bit with whisky. Blended or single malt. A blended is cheaper and more like a supermarket cheese. A single malt is like a farmers cheese from 1 farm and it's fields and supermarket from milk from a lot of farms and pasteurised.
Distance from the sea, by that i mean the influence of salty air. Air condenses on fields in the night with temp differences. That has an effect on the grass the cows eat. Thats what i mean by distranse from the sea if you are wondering what i meant. .
First one to feed the algorithmu.

Jopen is pronouced like the o in hope 😊
we jope to pronounce it properly next time 😂
Paling is pronounced like Pah-ling
Interesting is that the centre of Alkmaar and Haarlem looks like eachother. Btw there is the cheesemarket
I think you liked smoked makrel, and scholletjes (don't know the English word)
haha busted, this whole vlog was filmed in alkmaar 😉
periwinkles salmon tuna
periwinkles?? you just walk up to the fish stall and ask for them to eat? or do you take them home and prepare them somehow?
@@buncharted
you can take them home, and with a needle you take them out of the periwinkle
Paling (eel) has been struggling to survive for some years now, so if you like herring just the same, pls go for the herring next time! The herring population is much more robust.
ah - good to know! i definitely prefer herring. just wanted to try something new :)
Indeed, haven't had a paling in years because the Spaniards eat them by the hundreds at once when they are still baby eels. Remarkable that only the Japanese and the Dutch seem to appreciate the eel as a delicacy, Japanese tend to like the raw herring too but otherwise the cuisines are very different, also when it comes to international respect.
@@AlexK-yr2thThe term ’Eel farms' suggests eels are born and raised on the farms, but don't the farms get their young eels from nature as newborn baby eels don't survive in captivity? Isn't it fair to say a species is struggling when their population has declined by 90% in 50 years? Even if there are a lot of initiatives to reintroduce them and to add fish migration features to the rivers and canals. Let's just hope these measures help to make the eel population robust, for the eels sake and the people that rely on them for their income.
For Your Top 5 Fish you can put Lekkerbek and Gebakken Tong But Olso Gebakken Mosselen very good and i am Jan a dutch Vlogger with olso my own channel "De Bataafse Mossel" i life and born in Small City IJmuiden that is about 20 Minute From Haarlem and we have the Biggest Fish Harbor with The Market where the sell the fish to the Fish Stores on hole off the netherland an you now Lekkerbek and olso Kibbeling that make first time in IJmuiden ans soon was going to every place in Netherland so if have time visid the small city to
(Your recent videos appear washed-out, with muted colors. Of course, that might just be the constant grey weather.)
it’s the grey weather :(
A cat appeared again!
the haarlem vlog has been blessed 🐈
lekkerbek and mosselen
Zouden die gasten alles ook opeten ..?😂
Does she knows what "jopen" means??
the barrels?
@@buncharted a (verry) large female breast. I try to say it as neatly as possible. Barrels are "vaten"
hah, "jopen" was the name of the barrels they stored the beer in. guess that's where the names of the barrels came from? (referencing en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jopen )
Haha jopen also means, eehm how do I say this.. big breasts…
Flinke jopen
The European eel is a critically endangered species and probably shouldnt be on anybody's menu. 😵💫
If youre into cheese, skip factory cheese and always choose "Boerenkaas", thats guaranteed (by EU law) Artisan cheese, made on a cheesefarm from animals of that same farm.
Great vlogs! Keep them coming!

If it was possible to farm eels, we might have found the solution for the survival of this species. However, baby eels do not survive in captivity and thus farmed eel is *nothing less than wild-caught baby eel which has been grown out in a nursery*.
My facts come from ICES (the intergovernmental marine science organization with a network of nearly 6000 scientists from over 700 marine institutes in 20 member countries).
And here is what they say about restocking eel:
ICES notes that the restocking of eels (the practice of adding eels to a waterbody from another source) is considered a “conservation measure” in the EU regulation and in many eel management plans for achieving the 40% escapement target on all EMUs (Eel Management Unit).
Restocking is reliant on a glass eel fishery catch, which is in contradiction with the current advice.
The net benefit of restocking of eels to reproductive potential of the stock is unknown. It requires information on e.g. carrying capacity estimates of glass eel source estuaries, detailed mortality estimates at each step of the restocking process, and performance estimates of stocked vs. non-stocked eels.
ICES advises that given the above mentioned uncertainties and potential harmful effects (ICES 2016b), and following the precautionary approach, *any catch for restocking should not be allowed*.’’
😲
People really should'nt eat European eel anymore . Its on the endangered species list . It can not be bred in captivity so its completely unsustainable . We are eating it into extinction!
Still love your videos :)
i read online that they can be farmed - that’s not the case? i’ll def stick to herring next time!
Gebakken bokking, gestoomde makreel, gebakken ham en kuit.
gebakken ham en kuit sounds yummy!
@@buncharted Maybe a typo from Roeland, but it's "hom en kuit" (hom and roe?) as far as I know...and I like it too.
@@buncharted I ment to type hom but the program kicked in: hom is fish sperm, kuit is fish eggs (kaviar!) If you buy a harde bokking, which is a smoked herring you are in for a lottery: sometimes you get a female fish loaded with fish eggs, a real treat in my opinion.
Please, it's "Haarlem", not "Harlem". You missed essential things and stories (maybe next time?)
