Yes. With the garlic saus or remoulade sauce. Way way better then the english fish and chips. Om de week haal ik een bakkie in het weekend of een lekkerbek. Heerlijk.
The fish in British fish 'n chips is quite similar, fish filet in a heavy batter, then fried, the main difference is kibbeling are morsels of fish in stead of a complete filet, and the batter tends to be a bit thicker and crunchier, plus it's served with a sauce in stead of salt and vinegar. If made well, both are great.
In the video I only see stroopwafels in packages. Have you tried fresh was from the market? If not, I really recommend you do because they're even better!
She did! If you’re from Rotterdam you actually could know where she went! And that’s seriously hands down the best place to get them (at Van Vliet’s Siroopwafelen). Only at their Gouda place would be better.
hahahahah so basically de snackbar! de markt and de tokos.. Geweldig dit! Absoluut heel lekker en de toeristen weten het ook.. Maar waar zijn de stamppotten met rookworst, erwtensoep, gekookte aardapellen spruitjes, hachee vlees, blokjes Hollandse kaas met augurkjes, zilveruitjes en knakworstjes, haring, Zeeuws spek, saucijzenbroodjes, ontbijtkoek, speculaas? Wat vergeet ik nog allemaal?
@@EileenAldis Maybe you should also try a bowl of Snert. Which is Dutch Pea-soup. It doesn't look like much, but it very hearty and filled with potatoe, carrots, several meats and smoked sausage. Not much of a snack, more a full meal, but it is classic Dutch winter food.
I'd steer clear of kapsalon, soggy fries mixed with cheap meat, simple salad and drenched in sauce.. it's edible but feel it would be better if it was served separately.
This is mainly fastfood, and though regarded as typically Dutch a rather large part has a foreign origin. The frikandel is a postwar Dutch invention by Gerrit de Vries and the name is derived from frikadel (without the n) which is a kind of meatball. He mixed meat with flour but wasn't allowed to call it frikadel (not pure meat) so changed the shape and cut out the n. The kroket is the Dutch (modern) spelling of croquette, the origin is early 18th century in France. Fries are Belgium fries as you mentioned. The poffertjes are regarded as something typically Dutch but the origin is also France, just like the pancake (like the French crepe but much thicker). You can put anything on poffertjes but most common is just some powdered sugar and butter. The kaassoufflé is a Dutch invention by Hans van Bemmel (in 1969) and based on a much lighter version in the French and Italian cuisine, hence the "soufflé". A stroopwafel is truly Dutch, invented early 19th century in the city of Gouda. Food from Suriname is not common but Indonesian food can be found anywhere. That is because the latter is served by almost all Chinese restaurants in our country that serve a mix of Indonesian and Chinese food (which by the way is adapted to Dutch taste).
Not common? In Amsterdam it is! By the way, for the absolute BEST, you need to go to Tjon, at Boven Y in Amsterdam Noord. (Bus 33, get off at shopping center, go around the right hand side.)
@David Dylan: The Netherland isn't the same as Amsterdam. I know, that might be hard to accept, but most dutch people actually live somewhere else. I was born and partially raised in A'dam but live elsewhere now. Surinam food is available outside of A'dam, but it's nowhere near as common as chinese/indonesian food. So no, not common. It's actually more common to find a italian or greek restaurant than a surinam one.
I am currently planning a trip to Europe and I am so glad I stumbled upon your channel. Your videos are the perfect combination of being aesthetically pleasing but also full of information that makes planning a trip so much easier.
The Surinamese folded crepe you're describing is called Roti. There's a lot more fried food to try, bitterballen, nasibal, bamibal, picanto, mexicano, kibbeling, lekkerbek, just to name a few....
The French have the reputation,, but our food is actually great. A Canadian cousin of mine has a Dutch restaurant in Regina, called ''The Golden Windmill" It's been a huge success for more than 40 years. Typical menu's; Starter; Snert (pea and pork soup) Main dish; Stamppot zuurkool met rookworst (sauerkraut and potato mash, with diced fried unions and a smoked saucage with mustard sauce.) Desert; Karnemelkse pap (buttermilk porridge with rasins soaked in brandy, topped with brown sugar and melasse syrup). Starter; Tomatensoep (tomato soup with small meat balls) Main dish; Rode kool met draadjesvlees (cooked red cabbage with apple-cinnamon cooked potatoes, and slowly stewed beef with beef/black pepper sauce) Desert; Vlaflip (yoghurt and vanilla custard with orange lemonade syrup and whipped cream.) And a lot special fish dishes. Not for vegans!
We also have haring, snert, paling, oliebollen, hachee, tompouce, hagelslag, gestampte muisjes, and spacecake. You spent a lot of time in the snackbar but you didn't go for the kapsalon and the joppiesaus.
Omg yes! We actually did have this when we visited the windmills at Kinderdijk (th-cam.com/video/9Jo_sQKqIZs/w-d-xo.html) and I loved it too! Somehow it tastes better than regular split pea soup!? It could also be that I was freezing and the soup was cozy :)
Heerlijk the erwten soep👍🏻 but why did you put chocolate on the poffertjes? Is so much bttr with just butter and that poudersugher and the frikandel special is also bttr when it is split true the middle en then the sauce is in there otherwise the taste of that frikandel is to strong. But nice vid. 👍🏻
That's what I say too! I have stopped going to places that are stingy with their sauces. Do they actually think their FOOD is so good and that's what attracts me? No, I judge restaurants and such by their sauces. I go to a place because the sauce makes the meal! Skimp on the sauce and there is no reason to buy their food that is no better than anyone else's.
OOoh it is so lovely to see you're video as a dutch person ! I laughed so hard, the reason about it because you're telling all the food is good and makes you hungry ! Me as a dutch person just love patatje speciaal, frikandel speciaal and the kroket ! Let the world know about OLLIEBOLLEN !!
During the Holidays, especially between the arrival of Saint Nicholas in mid-november and Sinterklaas on 5 december, enjoy the little spice cookies "pepernoten," or coated with chocolate "kruidnoten." They're positively addictive.
I am new making vlog. So watching you gives me some pointer. Specially being so cheerful. I have to work on my presentation. And you are so clear and easy to grasp. I can almost taste the foods. Awesome
I mean frituur just are amazing. I think that is a big reason why there aren't as much fast food giants in The Netherlands/Belgium. There are like 20 sauces, 50 different deepfried types of meat (curryworst/frikandel, boulette, Mexicano, kaaskroket....) And fries are awesome. Dag noorderburen!
The food I was brought up with smoked doggy mackerel. That's what we call the mackerel that size in Australia. I see that Aldi in the Netherlands sells it for only Euro 2-. Beautiful on a fresh bread roll.
my hubby comes from the Netherlands a little town called Geldrop,, and we go almost every year and stay with family,, l have tried everything you mentioned,, except your, frikadel is served plain,, what you had was the fridadel speciaal ,, but the truffle mayo is't common,, or l would be getting every time we went there,, l just love Holland and l don't thing you mentioned the Bami,, OMG, that is another thing you must try.
Hi Eileen, Thanks for your Nice review of dutch food!! One small correction... we've got two types of syrup, one is called 'siroop' in duch, its a syrup comparable with 'golden syrup' the other type is called 'stroop'. It is a thickend syrup, the dutch are having this, for example, on Bread. So..., the 'stroopwafels' are stuffed up with 'stroop' not with syrup. Succes with your channal, Walter
Hi Walter! Thanks for sharing this with me. We loved visiting the Netherlands and trying new foods. We made other videos around the country if you'd like to see more by the way: bit.ly/thenetherlandsplaylist :)
Hey Eileen, wat een leuke video. Inderdaad heel veel lekkers te vinden in Nederland en België. Er zijn wel verschillen tussen de twee landen, maar ... allemaal lekkerbekken
I know this video was made a year ago but i just had to comment. You had asked us to leave a comment as to which of the foods you presented would we like best. Well, i've got to tell you, i'm drooling! Lol 😀 I want to try them all. Thank you for sharing! Can't wait til your next video! New subscriber from Cincinnati Ohio.
What's inside a kroket? A roux of melted butter, with flower and beef broth. The good ones also have some pulled (calf) beef in them. Cooled down to thicken you can bread them. You can make them with any kind of broth realy.
If you make it to 's-Hertogenbosch in south central Nederland, don't go without trying a boschebol (a kind of chocolate eclair the size of a softball). Enjoy it with coffee at an outdoor cafe on the markt.
she talked Indonesian and Surinam foods, roti being a Surinam version of Indian (from India) food. Surinam food is actually a very well done fusion cuisine.
Stroopwafels and poffertjes are almost holy. Kaas, and therefor kaassoufles are really popular, but come on, kroketten en frikandellen all the way. Also try borrelnootjes, peanuts with a crusty stuff around them. Try speculaas, ontbijtkoek, kaneelstok, try them all.
Hell, yeah: truffle mayonaise! It's my favourite too. What I like is: when I have some left over cold potatoes, slice them up, fry them in butter the next day and have them with ... truffle mayonaise, a fried egg and some tomatoes. To die for, really. And if that doesn't kill you, the carbs and fats will.
Your'e always welcome to come over and get some! I'm a pretty good 'home cook' and realy love to entertain people from other countries, show them around and have a jolly good time together.
Well who knows who trully invented the fries, Belgium was part of the Netherlands in History, hence it is difficult to say. Some say it was actually the spanish that invented the fries, but heck who cares. The Dutch fries are different from belgium fries and french fries are these small mini shaped fries, but we can say with certainty it was not the french because they are called french fries as this was just a mistake of Americans.
Soon, if all goes well, they will be only sold as Belgian Fries. Proposal has been introduced at the Unesco to recognize that food as cultural heritage of Belgium.
Well that's not going to help. What we call Vlaamse Frites is quite different to Patat. And again different to franse frites. So...don't go getting your hopes up that we (the dutch) we start calling it belgian fries anytime soon...even if the name is deserved (as again, I don't know where it originated....but frankly, I don't really care either)
The modern Dutch frikandel has chicken meat (40%) that remained on the carcass after filleting, also called mechanically separated meat. Pork (25%). Some producers add horsemeat (5%) The rest is water, breadcrumbs, binder, herbs, unions and flavor enhancers. There are also special chicken frikandellen (80% chicken and no pork/horsemeat).
Sauces like mayonaise and tomato-sauce are disgusting and only used by people that don't like the original taste of the food. Only exception is saté-sauce (peanut-sauce) with your fries. Not OVER the fries, but apart so you can dip and decide yourself how many sauce you want!
Hi! We love CDMX! If you're interested we've actually made a bunch of videos there (playlist is here: th-cam.com/video/fSRHA_QyA9g/w-d-xo.html). We want to come back...we miss it!
Also, a really well made (homemade) hutspot or boerenkool with sausage, gravy and pickled onions and pickles on the side, and mustard is amazing! My dad makes those like I could never even come close, it's quite the skill :D
PS, have to love the deep-fried cheese for the kaasouffle , but that can't be great for someone trying to avoid tons of deep-fried foods or limiting their sugar intake for dietary reasons.
I would eat Kroketten. They are yummy. But I also like bitterballen & oliebollen - more deep fried goodies. Have you tried dubbel vla? Wonderful if you have a sweet tooth. Vanilla/ chocolate is my favourite!
Peasoup is a starter, it follows with pancakes, they are flat and thin in NL(about pizza size, 12") and can be sweet but also savoury (bacon and cheese fi.)
We had some delicious pea soup when we visited Kinderdijk :) That video is in this playlist of all the videos we made in The Netherlands if you want to check it out: bit.ly/thenetherlandsplaylist
0:54 the best way is with some butter and powdersugar...the chocolate ruins the experiance, it takes over everything, might aswell buy a bottle of nutella and spoon that up and skip the poffertjes..
Enjoyed your video on Dutch food. We did the Indonesian food which was very good. But the one Dutch food you fail d to mention which we loved was the Matjes which was a soused herring served with onions and sauce with bread. We could find it everywhere in Holland even on the street.
Thanks! There are so many other great foods and I wish we could've fit more into this video. We'll have to make a part 2.... Thanks for the suggestion :)
Stroopwafel. BEST COOKIE EVAH. I got them once as a wedding favour and I had never tried them before. Cut to: mind blown...eating entire package and then stealing another from a no show at another table. I like placing them like a lid on top of my hot mug of tea so that the syrup becomes soft again from the heat. Crisp and light....I think I have eaten more of these than the average Dutch person which is saying a lot bc while it's fairly easy to find in Toronto it's still a novelty cookie.
I love this story!! I can totally imagine you trying it at the wedding AND relate to wanting to grab more instantly haha. Thanks for the tip about putting them like a lid on a hot drink too. That is genius and I want to try it.
You didn’t mention Maatjes or Rollmops! I get it that they’re not included in this deep fat fried video, but Maatjes are a national dish, along with Hashee
st dish is a 3 layer oven dish with potato mash on top and bottom put sauercraut/ zuurkool together with minced beef ijn the middle, cheese if you want. PPl should be free to test lovely Dutch food!
Gefeliciteerd voor de video. Lo mejor los stroopwafel. Bedankt. Groeten uit Lima Perú 🇵🇪 nederlandse honderd procent 🇳🇱 Dios mediante pronto estaré por allá nuevamente visitando otras ciudades como Roterdam Utrech y La Haya. Post pandemia del Coronavirus.
1:32.. the frikandel speciaal had to be cut open in length.. and the traditional way is with tomato ketchup instead of curry sauce.. the Poffertjes are eaten the traditional way with butter and powder sugar. Yes the Belgians invended them, but the dutch are the biggest consumers of fries, the French ones are thin..the Flemish ones are the chunks and the squared ones are Dutch fries.
exactly. they now use curry as "special" sauce. they now give standard curry sause instead ketchup...... they should've used a different name when you mix it with curry. I always have to say when i order with special sauce... WITH KETCHUP. annoying
If you were only able to eat one of these Dutch foods which would it be? For me, it has to be the poffertjes.
Same here! And yes it is hypnotic watching those baby pancakes being flipped!!
Totally! They flip an entire pan of them at once - must take some practice.
Wow you've been busy with replying to comments this evening..appreciate it so much!!
I vote for the poffertjes. I want some right now! Angie
I think you'd love them too, Angie! Absolutely delicious.
As a true Dutchman I think you emphasize the deep fried snacks too much. What about Haring? Drop? and Dutch Cheese? Or Hutspot, Drie in de Pan, Wentelteefjes, Hagelslag en Bitterballen?
Wat is drie in de pan?
Ja dat vroeg ik me ook af???

Take a potato musher or hand held blender and mush together, until a course texture.
It's prefered to use the musher for this, but it's not realy a common kitchen aid in different countries I believe.

@@lindaraterink6451 you are amazing thank you so very much. Going to surprise hubby with this tonight. Thank you thank you thank you
Powdered sugar and chocolate is fine
But personally I think powdered sugar and a big slice of melted butter is the way to go with poffertjes
Mmm that sounds delicious too 🤤
Yep! And don’t forget the cinnamon topping 😊
Yes, powdered sugar and butter is a classic!
Een oud hollandsche klassieker
I agree. Chocolate doesn't belong over poffertjes
And how about "Lekkerbekjes" (fried fish) and "Kadetjes", or "Gekleurde muisjes".
welcome in the Netherlands ,i live here. POFFERTJES FOR LIFE!!!!
Thank you! YAAAAAS poffertjes! 🙌🏻

BrenKingXL zeker weter
is kibbeling dutch? cause that is really good to
not true most of them use antic fish from antartica but if you have a true fish stand he will cut the kabeljauw fresh
Yes. With the garlic saus or remoulade sauce.

You should go during the winter months (just before new year) and try oliebollen- the most delicious thing you will ever taste!

Yesssssss, I'm pretty obsessed with them! I miss them :( I heard about the kapsalon but didn't try it - something for next time!
tradiotionally poffertjes are eaten with powdered sugar and unsalted butter.
I'd steer clear of kapsalon, soggy fries mixed with cheap meat, simple salad and drenched in sauce.. it's edible but feel it would be better if it was served separately.

With that kind of logic i guess you're only eating potatoes?

If you get a chance, I highly recommend Erwtensoep, or split pea soup. The Dutch version of this dish is soooooo good

my hubby comes from the Netherlands a little town called Geldrop,, and we go almost every year and stay with family,, l have tried everything you mentioned,, except your, frikadel is served plain,, what you had was the fridadel speciaal ,, but the truffle mayo is't common,, or l would be getting every time we went there,, l just love Holland and l don't thing you mentioned the Bami,, OMG, that is another thing you must try.
My brother Paul and I are part Dutch on our mom's side of the family. Hello from Tyler Texas U.S.A.
Hey Paula! Greetings to you in Texas :)
Hi Eileen, Thanks for your Nice review of dutch food!! One small correction... we've got two types of syrup, one is called 'siroop' in duch, its a syrup comparable with 'golden syrup' the other type is called 'stroop'.
It is a thickend syrup, the dutch are having this, for example, on Bread.
So..., the 'stroopwafels' are stuffed up with 'stroop' not with syrup. Succes with your channal, Walter
Hi Walter! Thanks for sharing this with me. We loved visiting the Netherlands and trying new foods. We made other videos around the country if you'd like to see more by the way: bit.ly/thenetherlandsplaylist :)
Nederland 🇳🇱🇳🇱✌🏼
👋🏻
I love that you did so much research
salted herring...yum yum and zout drop (very salty licorice) a staple, apple flappen, oliebol, indonesian rice table
Yum! I loved the salty licorice too 😊
Hey Eileen, wat een leuke video. Inderdaad heel veel lekkers te vinden in Nederland en België. Er zijn wel verschillen tussen de twee landen, maar ... allemaal lekkerbekken
Eileen is happiest when she gets food to eat
😂
Like wie Nederland's is
I know this video was made a year ago but i just had to comment. You had asked us to leave a comment as to which of the foods you presented would we like best. Well, i've got to tell you, i'm drooling! Lol 😀 I want to try them all. Thank you for sharing! Can't wait til your next video! New subscriber from Cincinnati Ohio.
Hello to you in Ohio, Cathy! Welcome to our channel! And 'want to try them all' would be my answer too ;)
What's inside a kroket? A roux of melted butter, with flower and beef broth. The good ones also have some pulled (calf) beef in them. Cooled down to thicken you can bread them. You can make them with any kind of broth realy.
If you make it to 's-Hertogenbosch in south central Nederland, don't go without trying a boschebol (a kind of chocolate eclair the size of a softball). Enjoy it with coffee at an outdoor cafe on the markt.
It’s not a crepe. It’s a roti
looked like a loempia to me...spring role... if the filling was beansprouts, egg and chicken meat... it was..
I was born and raised in Suriname so I know my Surinamese foods
My favorite food roti😍.. i dont like poffertjes . But most of all i am.addicted to kaassouflees jummie.. kaassouflee met appelmoes.
I'm not getting it.... she talks about Chinese and Indonesian and has roti on her plate....?
she talked Indonesian and Surinam foods, roti being a Surinam version of Indian (from India) food. Surinam food is actually a very well done fusion cuisine.
I even got the Chinese/Indonesian food once per week in the Dutch army on Friday.
G E K O L O N I S E E R D M A K K E R
Stroopwafels and poffertjes are almost holy.
Kaas, and therefor kaassoufles are really popular, but come on, kroketten en frikandellen all the way.
Also try borrelnootjes, peanuts with a crusty stuff around them.
Try speculaas, ontbijtkoek, kaneelstok, try them all.
I'm from The Netherlands so this is very nice to see.
Did you try "Kibbeling"?
It's small chunks of cod fish in a crispy deep fried batter with tartar sauce and the best spices on this planet.
No, I didn't but it sounds delicious and now I wish I had! Thanks for the suggestion - next time! :)
Looks yummy all of them Foody's.
Gowda, not Gooda
I said it the English way, not the Dutch way.
English pronunciation is the same as in Dutch, French and German for obvious reasons (it being a city name).
It's actually Gouda
tommyk1214 yeah she pronounced it the American way. In the UK we say “Gowda”
Pronunciation Floor, not spelling.
Hell, yeah: truffle mayonaise! It's my favourite too. What I like is: when I have some left over cold potatoes, slice them up, fry them in butter the next day and have them with ... truffle mayonaise, a fried egg and some tomatoes. To die for, really. And if that doesn't kill you, the carbs and fats will.
That sounds delicious 🤤
Your'e always welcome to come over and get some! I'm a pretty good 'home cook' and realy love to entertain people from other countries, show them around and have a jolly good time together.
I'm Dutch
Have to go get a midnight snack now thanks
My favorite was bitterballen which is kind of like a ball shaped croquette made with meat and roux sauce it was really tasty.
A lot of people have recommended that! Sounds delicious.
This is where Audrey Heburn's from!
Frikandel Speciaal.
Yum yum ... 😁
Well who knows who trully invented the fries, Belgium was part of the Netherlands in History, hence it is difficult to say.
Some say it was actually the spanish that invented the fries, but heck who cares. The Dutch fries are different from belgium fries and french fries are these small mini shaped fries, but we can say with certainty it was not the french because they are called french fries as this was just a mistake of Americans.
Agreed - they're delicious by any name and no matter where they came from :)
Soon, if all goes well, they will be only sold as Belgian Fries. Proposal has been introduced at the Unesco to recognize that food as cultural heritage of Belgium.
Well that's not going to help. What we call Vlaamse Frites is quite different to Patat. And again different to franse frites. So...don't go getting your hopes up that we (the dutch) we start calling it belgian fries anytime soon...even if the name is deserved (as again, I don't know where it originated....but frankly, I don't really care either)
We care, as Belgians. There is a reason that we filed the origines of French, correction Belgian, Fries at the UNESCO to protect the heritage of it.
Doesnt really matter where they came from or who invented it, im just glad they exist in general. cant live without fries once every week
You got a like for being a sauce person. Food usually is a vehicle for sauces.
I'm dutch and I hate fish 😂😂
🐟
Me too
What about deep-fried fish? Vissticks, Kibbeling and Lekkerbek?
My boyfriend is Dutch, and he hates cheese. 😓
Ik ook hahah
The modern Dutch frikandel has chicken meat (40%) that remained on the carcass after filleting, also called mechanically separated meat. Pork (25%). Some producers add horsemeat (5%)
The rest is water, breadcrumbs, binder, herbs, unions and flavor enhancers.
There are also special chicken frikandellen (80% chicken and no pork/horsemeat).
Sounds similar to the make up of hot dogs.
Did you Also made a video about Duch meals; Boerenkool, stamppot in General , and for instance a called kapsalon
Sauces like mayonaise and tomato-sauce are disgusting and only used by people that don't like the original taste of the food.
Only exception is saté-sauce (peanut-sauce) with your fries. Not OVER the fries, but apart so you can dip and decide yourself how many sauce you want!
Frikandel speciaal en een patatje oorlog graag.
Oh my… I’m from Mexico City, but I’ll try the first ones for sure the look so good
Hi! We love CDMX! If you're interested we've actually made a bunch of videos there (playlist is here: th-cam.com/video/fSRHA_QyA9g/w-d-xo.html). We want to come back...we miss it!
I vote for the truffle fries! love those...
I have tasted Dutch food when l was visiting Madurodam and the Hague
Nice! What did you have? Did you enjoy it?
Also, a really well made (homemade) hutspot or boerenkool with sausage, gravy and pickled onions and pickles on the side, and mustard is amazing! My dad makes those like I could never even come close, it's quite the skill :D
Wow, that sounds amazing!
Yes I would eat the fries...in a cone....as kids in Canada we had ours that way also....second would be deep fried cheese
Yum to all of the above!
Stroopwafels 😍😍😍😍
SO. GOOD.
I would like to try the tiny waffles with chocolate sauce; and the fries looked really yummy! Thanks for the tips!
You are so cheerful and likeable 😄
Thanks for the lovely compliment, Jack :)
'sometimes food is just a vehicle for sauce' absolutely
#UniversalTruth 😉🙌🏻
PS, have to love the deep-fried cheese for the kaasouffle , but that can't be great for someone trying to avoid tons of deep-fried foods or limiting their sugar intake for dietary reasons.
I would eat Kroketten. They are yummy. But I also like bitterballen & oliebollen - more deep fried goodies. Have you tried dubbel vla? Wonderful if you have a sweet tooth. Vanilla/ chocolate is my favourite!
Peasoup is a starter, it follows with pancakes, they are flat and thin in NL(about pizza size, 12") and can be sweet but also savoury (bacon and cheese fi.)
We had some delicious pea soup when we visited Kinderdijk :) That video is in this playlist of all the videos we made in The Netherlands if you want to check it out: bit.ly/thenetherlandsplaylist
Those laughs in the minute 1:00 got me in love 😍
0:54 the best way is with some butter and powdersugar...the chocolate ruins the experiance, it takes over everything, might aswell buy a bottle of nutella and spoon that up and skip the poffertjes..
I remember sluring down small live herring, washed down with Oude Geneveer.
Having visited The Netherlands so many times, it has to be Stroopwafels. Whenever i'm there I have to get a supply of them to take home to England.
That's a good reason to leave extra space in your suitcase...or just take an extra bag with you ;)
I ALWAYS manage to squeeeeeeze them into my suitcase... after all it's essential for my 'sweet treats' habit! :D
My father in law was from Heukelom and made a wonderful clear leek soup.
Im half surinamese and all the foods are so good. And its not called cherry bouqet but fernandes. Cherry bouqet is just one flavour
Hahaha kom er nu pas achter dat we best veel in de frituur gooien 😂
Zie de meeste toeristen denken: Nu de haringen nog...
Enjoyed your video on Dutch food. We did the Indonesian food which was very good. But the one Dutch food you fail d to mention which we loved was the Matjes which was a soused herring served with onions and sauce with bread. We could find it everywhere in Holland even on the street.
Thanks! There are so many other great foods and I wish we could've fit more into this video. We'll have to make a part 2.... Thanks for the suggestion :)
Stroopwafel. BEST COOKIE EVAH. I got them once as a wedding favour and I had never tried them before. Cut to: mind blown...eating entire package and then stealing another from a no show at another table. I like placing them like a lid on top of my hot mug of tea so that the syrup becomes soft again from the heat. Crisp and light....I think I have eaten more of these than the average Dutch person which is saying a lot bc while it's fairly easy to find in Toronto it's still a novelty cookie.
I love this story!! I can totally imagine you trying it at the wedding AND relate to wanting to grab more instantly haha. Thanks for the tip about putting them like a lid on a hot drink too. That is genius and I want to try it.
Eileen Aldis I was told by the Dutch groom that that is how they are to be eaten so all credit the Dutch! :)
@@seamslatasha3598 🙏🇳🇱
actually, Gouda cheese is from the vicinity of gouda.
Gouda has a market where cheese was traded because it was easily accessible by boat.
I'm missing the black Dutch candy called DROP, have you tried this?
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm frikandel, im from nl an dits has THE Best foods.
You didn’t mention Maatjes or Rollmops! I get it that they’re not included in this deep fat fried video, but Maatjes are a national dish, along with Hashee
st dish is a 3 layer oven dish with potato mash on top and bottom put sauercraut/ zuurkool together with minced beef ijn the middle, cheese if you want. PPl should be free to test lovely Dutch food!
Oh wow, that sounds delicious. Cozy for a winter supper.
Delicious video
Very! What looked best to you?
Gefeliciteerd voor de video. Lo mejor los stroopwafel. Bedankt. Groeten uit Lima Perú 🇵🇪 nederlandse honderd procent 🇳🇱 Dios mediante pronto estaré por allá nuevamente visitando otras ciudades como Roterdam Utrech y La Haya. Post pandemia del Coronavirus.
I would definitely go for the fries :-)
Good choice! ;)
1:32.. the frikandel speciaal had to be cut open in length.. and the traditional way is with tomato ketchup instead of curry sauce.. the Poffertjes are eaten the traditional way with butter and powder sugar. Yes the Belgians invended them, but the dutch are the biggest consumers of fries, the French ones are thin..the Flemish ones are the chunks and the squared ones are Dutch fries.
exactly. they now use curry as "special" sauce. they now give standard curry sause instead ketchup...... they should've used a different name when you mix it with curry. I always have to say when i order with special sauce... WITH KETCHUP. annoying
