Who else is hungry?! & Bertha ate the rest of the Hagelslag... Watch this video to see us Trying STROOPWAFEL and other Dutch Snacks & Candy! (th-cam.com/video/r_s6SgfIYUY/w-d-xo.html ) or First Time in the Netherlands! (th-cam.com/video/vEr6iuEs6kU/w-d-xo.html )
@@baskkev7459 no it's not lol. Some dutch people might becel or margarine, but many of use actual butter. It tastes much better. They prepared it wrong though. It's usually just eaten on one bottom slice, cut in 4, not like a sandwhich. Way too much bread. They should've chosen vlokken instead of hagelslag though
The Dutch do not use butter on a daily basis. They use halvarine. (A margarine with less fat.) It tastes the same and it spreads easier as well. And personally I would prefer a fresh bread from the baker than that shallow tasty white toast bread... And that small 'car' is actually a vehicle for the disabled. There are special regulations for it (cannot be wider than 110cm and you can ride it anywhere you like, so also the sidewalk) and no driving license is needed. Look up: Gehandicaptenvoertuig.
@@jboreel1936 Yeah no, food is food. If you take street food and/or snacks out of the equation you remove huge parts of culture from any country you visit.
Definitely a must try. I usual eat it with "katenspek on roggebrood" pork meat on Dutch/Frisian rye bread as side dish. Delicious!! Also brown bean soup is a traditional dutch dish
I always eat snert with "zeeuws spek and roggebrood" and while you are at it our mussel recipe is also a good dutch original, something they also haven't gotten yet but is more of a snack is "patatje oorlog"
According to the usual explanation, the Kapsalon dish originated in 2003 when Nataniël Gomes, the owner of a hairdressing salon (Kapsalon in Dutch) on Rotterdam's Schiedamseweg, had a lunch dish composed with all his favorite ingredients at the shawarma shop El Aviva, located a little further away. It became a regular order, which was given the designation 'Kapsalon'.
Yes Hagelslag is a childhood thing. As a child I always got 1 tasty (sweet) sandwich and 1 healthy sandwich. And with Roomboter is nice, but too thick. Other (spreadable) butter is better and then spread on both sandwiches. But you seemed very Dutch when you ate the sandwich.
And you will need other bread. This was bread for toasting. For example take tijgerbrood, wit. Loads of spreadable butter and than a thick layer of hagelslag 😉
Yes another type of butter and spread it on both parts of bread. Butter was not spread evenly. I also like it better when there is just enough hagelslag, no overload. Good balance between butter and hagelslag.
I think this is the first time I've seen anyone try a "stamppot" dish before on these type of video's, I'm glad you liked it. About the hagelslag sandwich: I think it would work better if you use a different kind of butter, the one you used is mostly used for baking. It doesn't really spread well over bread. Try margerine next time. And if you are going to do another food tour in The Netherlands, can I suggest Groningen? Lots of places to eat, pubs and bars (that stay open for a long time), and you can try an "eierbal".
Bah nee joh. Gewoon echte roomboter, niet van dat naar plastic smakende nepspul. Gewoon even in kleine hoeveelheden op kamertemperatuur houden en dan is het prima smeerbaar. 5 seconden magnetron werkt ook.
You are so right msb... just one simple slice of fresh bread and thick spreadable unsalted butter with a liberal dose of choc. hagelslag (I prefer dark ) is what I would do, and still do. The last dish is unfamiliar to me but soggy chips (patat) doesn`t seem very Dutch and is a no no for me . Perhaps a Dutch style ``gebraden haantje`` from a local take away shop would tickle their taste buds, they are unsurpassed.
Hi, the potatoes with carrots and cabbage is similar to Colcannon eaten in Ireland, boiled potatoes, boiled cabbage and possibly onion which is mashed with milk and butter and is delicious.
In German, "lecker" is for the taste of food. In Dutch, anything can be "lecker". I remember back in the 80s when we were at a camping site in Italy, and next to us was a family from the Netherlands. Every morrning, the father would get out of the tent and exclaim "Aah, lecker Wetter!" 🙂
Just so you know. Amsterdam was Car-Centric in the past too! It's been a multi decade process of making it more bike, pedestrian and public transit centric. It's never to late to start transitioning to it!
Rule of thumb on the pronunciation of Dutch words: OO is a long O sound -- "stroop" (the Dutch word for "syrup") rhymes with the English word "rope". What the English would pronounce as they do OO is in Dutch spelled with an OE: "broek" (the Dutch word for "trousers") rhymes with the English word "cook". Last time I was in the Netherlands (decades ago, alas), I'd go to the cafeteria in the Hema (usually the one close to the city centre of The Hague) for a bowl of pea soup "met". "Met" means "with", which in the context of pea soup meant the addition of a piece of cooked bacon fat, which perhaps sounds a bit iffy but it was utterly food of the gods, very filling and perfect for a cold day. It's unlikely that places like Hema's cafeterias cater to tourists, so you might try those for authenticity; with any luck, Hema's pea soup is still good. In any case, as I'm sure you already know it's best stay out of areas where tourists congregate. Tourists just drive up price and drive out authenticity.
I love your Spontaneous and enthusiastic responses to all the things the Netherlands has to offer. You need to make more video's in the various regions of the Netherlands.
i think you should try to avoid the tourist traps more.. ive noticed this in a couple of videos. maybe find a local fixer who can help you find the real spots.
Colloquially "boter" in the Netherlands also refers to margarine and what's commonly known as 'halvarine' (a strictly Dutch term), a spreadable blend of margarine and vegetable oils. Much easier to spread on bread for hagelslag. :-) 'Roomboter' is the real butter. (Some brands write 'echte boter', real butter, on their roomboter wrappers.)
Yeah exactly this. The shopkeeper was just trying to do his job, people often say butter when they really mean margarine. Putting butter on your hagelslag sandwich is asking for disaster.
Boter is boter.. margarine is geen boter dat is olie.. vroeger at iedereen gewoon boter tot er een goedkopere palmolie variant bedacht is die zogenaamd gezonder was.. blijkt achteraf ook niet echt zo te zijn.. stop je boter gewoon niet in de koelkast maar in een botervloot.. dan is hij goed smeerbaar zoals hij bedoelt is..
@@maartenperdeck798 ik ben opgegroeid met margarine en noemde dat gewoon boter, echte boter was veel te duur voor het normale huishouden en was voor veel mensen een luxe! Overigenskrijgen mensen met een melk (lactose of melkeiwit) intolerantie diarree van boter, dus hoezo "stinks".
Well... when we say boter, we actually mean margarine. Roomboter is pretty Dutch, but it's more for like croissants which isn't so much ofc. When you take one slice of bread and you cover it in a layer of margarine the hagelslag stays on, that's what he ment.
As a Dutchman I can comfortably say that I would have eaten the stamppot, rookworst (smoked sausage), and gehaktball (meatball) and still would have gotten a second plate of it. Definitely one of the foods you miss when living abroad for a while, in my case when I went to South Africa for half a year.
It is hard to find a country without kitchen tradition. Holland is one of them. You do not have any "dutch kitchen" - this is german, french, belgian and turkish.
Toast with sprinkles! It’s delicious! We eat it open faced. You can do rainbow too. We eat this for breakfast with European breakfast. My husband is German/Dutch. Thanks for this fun video!
Stamppot is my favourite meal! We normally say it's only for autumn and winter, but I can eat it on the hottest summer day. The endive and carrot usually gets added raw, because cooked endive goes bitter in the mash. But the rest was accurate. We mash (stamp) the potatos in the same pan we cooked them in, just take out the water you used to boil them, add some milk and butter, then stamp away. Add a rookworst on top to let it steam to a good temperature, as you cook it a last few minutes, then serve with a side of gehaktbal or bacon cubes You also got ripped off on the stroopwafel. You can buy them for €1 to €1,50 at a regular market. Fun fact: The Kapsalon exists in Australia too, they call it a Halal Snack Pack (or more popularly, HSP). Kapsalon is not supposed to be very culinary, it's just something you devour when you get home from the pub at 3AM
I will be traveling to Holland for the first time this spring and I can't wait to try some of these foods when I get there. I am an American now but I was born in Germany. My family moved to the US when I was a small child (many, many years ago). I actually found your channel last year when I was planning a trip back to Germany and wanted to practice my German. I think the first video of yours that I watched was Phil speaking only German to his American girlfriend for a day and I have been watching your videos ever since. I really enjoy your channel!!!
I don't know if someone already replied about the vanille vla but we eat it as dessert. And we just put some in a bowl and eat it with a spoon. I grew up eating it as a dessert, especially at my grandparents. And we mixed it with some yogurt and 'roosvicee', which is some kind of sirop. There also is vanille yoghurt which is basically yogurt with vanilla flavor, but as a kid I prefered the vanille vla! :D
Yea , that's a lot better than just the snacks, eventhough they are great like Deana said.. Phil licking the plate lmao 😄Stampot is my favorite winter dish.. Bami hap for life!, goes great with some chilli sauce, but even mustard can be good. The choclate sprinkles are probably a childhood thing for most people. I almost never eat it, but when I do. I prefer the pure chocolate sprinkles. Fun fact about kapsalon. Kapsolon translated to English would be the hairdresser's saloon. The history behind the name comes from the city of Rotterdam where a local hairdresser would order this dish (in it's specific way where everything is just put on top of each other) at the next door Doner shop. It became popular and since the dish didn't have a name they named it kapsalon after the hairdresser saloon that was the first to order it. Years later. You can find this dish in many cities across the world. Especially those that get visited by a lot of Dutch people.
Very cool fact! Thank you for the info! When I tried looking for "kapsalon" on google maps, hair salons kept popping up. That's why we had to resort to just google and reddit. Then we learned almost every Döner shop in Amsterdam sells kapsalon. The name makes sense now!
Hagelslag is not a childhood thing for me. Nor the people I know. We all eat it and we love to eat it. We're all adults and I wasn't even allowed hagelslag as a child. It's just really good.
That all looked delicious. I grew up in the USA but my family is Dutch. As a kid, I would have toasted bread heavily buttered and then w/ Hagel on it and a sausage on the side. Once, I had to take my breakfast on the bus and everyone was wondering what I was eating.
I love the Netherlands, I lived in Groningen years ago. In Australia we have a similar thing to Kapsilan, we call it a Halal Snack Pack (HSP). Febo is so nostalgic, I remember seeing it for the first time and I couldn't believe you could just go and buy things out of those little warmers.
its Kapsalon so you know^^. and yes Febo is amazing. it sucks that they removed it out of my home town. we cant get food from that kind of places anymore.
"Kapsalon" is kebab honey. This not "dutch" but comes from midfle east/asia. Go to Turkey, u'll find most of "dutch kitchen". Ten visit Germany to find rest.
Great tour! Glad you mention Mister Meatball. I love stampot and hutspot(carrots&unions) but don't make it myself, living alone. I will be eating there soon. The nice old building next to the Henri Willig cheeseshop is the Tuschinski theater. The most beautyfull cinema you have ever seen. You had the right ingredients for the chocolade sprinkle sandwich but you didn't know how to apply them properly. #1 Have the Roomboter at kitchen temperature . #2 Spread the butter until no bread is visible. Both slices! #3 Cover one slice with the choclade sprinkles of you choice and spread out until no butter is visible. #4 cover up with the second sandwhich and enjoy your breakfast. Foodtip: Have a Rijsttafel at a good indonesian restaurant.
I'm Dutch. So bread with sprinkles/hagelslag is for breakfast. Vla is for dessert. Stroopwafel is a snack/cookie. Kaassoufle & bamischijf are fastfood snacks. The best fries are Raspatat/ Maxpatat. It is not available in the whole Netherlands but if you come across it, don't hesitate and check it out. For a sauce with any fries you should definitely try Oorlog ( meaning war ) this is mayonaise with peanutsauce and onions. You will be amazed for sure.
@@memories511 You could toast the bread and add butter and sprinkles after. That tastes pretty good as well. They used the wrong butter though. The butter in the video is meant for baking xD Not for bread
@@andreone3415 Sure you could toast it, but when I got the sprinkles , mom never toasted it, the reason I said that. At any rate, they taste pretty good !
First of all, Love your video's! I like "broodje hagelslag" the most with bread from the bakery, fresh White bread or "witte bolletjes". Not the bread you guys used🙈🙈 its also reeeaaally good with peanutbutter(pindakaas&hagelslag) !! 💕
Definitely try a Surinamese place for delicious stuff. You are not likely to find it outside of Surinam or NL. Maybe also treat yourself to Indonesian food. Both were colonies once and both have been responsible for fantastic dishes.
@@waso778 Hmmm....could have guessed because of the massala curry. Suriname is of course very diverse and a melting pot of people. Is the Surinam roti the same as Indian? Lots of times an own traditional way has been developed over the course of time. And I actually think of Surinam people when I think Roti.....learned to eat and make it because of Surinam people.
@@PainInTheS ja roti komt uit India maar je heb gelijk ,het is veranderd doordat de curry (massala)aangepast is naar kruiden uit suriname,Guyana en Trinidad and tabago hebben ook hun eigen variatie van roti
We had the pleasure of visiting Mister Meatball last week, and everything about it was fantastic. Young Nadia sat us at the family cafe next door for a beer while we waited for a table to open up (there are only 12 seats in the place). We ordered the full “flight” of Stampots and meatballs plus 2 orders of the sausage. Mama came out with some bacon gravy and was truly impressed to see 3 of us clean the entire plate. Wonderful people, great food, and the price was more than reasonable. Highly recommended!
Next time you are in Amsterdam you must try a Rijsttafel, a Dutch word that literally translates to "rice table", is an Indonesian elaborate meal adapted by the Dutch. YUM!
We normally let the butter warm up before we used it so it spreads instead of being chunks (make a lot of difference!). Also you choose salted butter, unsalted is probably better. There is also a butter version that is already spreadable without having to warm it up. A we most often eat it on one slice like a toast or a (soft) bun... this gives a better balance between the bread, butter and chocolate. Imo dark chocolate tastes better. But I can definitely see that this might be a thing you have to grow up with... on the other hand we have many more sprinkles you can try with chocolate and without.
Nice video about the Netherlands. I'm living there almost whole my life. Yes 'brood met boter en hagelslag' is a breakfast and lunch thing for the Dutch. I grew up with first a slice of bread with meat (ham or something) or cheese. Then I was allowed to have another slice with hagelslag. But now I live on my own and I still eat a slice of bread with hageslag. Vanille vla, is most of the time eaten as a dessert. Sometimes you can put hagelslag or limonade syrup also in it. One of my favourite dish is potatoes with 'snijbiet' (kinda endive like) with a kind of bechamel sauce. :) But unfortunately snijbiet is a forgotten vegetable here, so it isn't in the grocery stores anymore. So I grew them in my garden for a couple of years. Another favourite dish for me is: potatoes, with chicory and ham and cheese baked in the oven. Don't know if it's typical Dutch though!
@@user-ie6jr4bg1w what??? I eat hagelslag every day, on brown bread, for breakfast. Or on a cracker as a little snack. I might be a boomer, but my children, aged between 28 and 34, like their daily dose of hagelsag as much as I do :-)
Funny to see you tasting the food that the dutch citizens are so familiar with. Although the mashed potato dish in this episode is also a 'fusion' dish. Actually the real stamppot is potato based, one type of vegetable and some onion and goes with some different types of meat. Here you had the carrot version and the endive version. Mixed together. So the carrot stamppot is named hutspot goes with almost overcooked beefstew ( klapstuk) and has it's origin in the west of Nederland ( city of Leiden) The endive version is named foeksandievie, goes with added baked baconpieces and comes from the east of Nederland. ( area's Twente and Gelderland) But these days both dishes are common everywhere in Nederland
About the hagelslag, yes for most of us it's more of a childhood thing but some of us still eat it as adults too... Try hagelslag on warm 'brötchen' (Dutch: broodjes). The kind you can buy at Aldi/Lidl etc in Germany that are pre packaged & pre heated & you can heat up at home. When you put hagelslag on a warm broodje/brötchen and press down on the top half of the broodje/brötchen the sprinkles start to melt a little bit and this tastes imo even better than the usual 'hagelslag sandwich'. Butter is optional for this one 😅 Glad to see you enjoy The Netherlands so much & happy you didn't just visit Amsterdam but got to see a more 'regular/non metropole/smaller' city like Eindhoven too 😅🥰🇳🇱
This is the story about kapsalon: There were people working at a hair dressing place, which is called a kapsalon in Dutch. And on their break they often went to a certain take away restaurant. They asked if he could make them fries, put meat and cheese on top, etc. They did this so often that after a while the restaurant just began to call their order: kapsalon. Later they began to put the dish on the menu and called it kapsalon and it began to spread real fast throughout the country, because now everybody is eating it and calling it kapsalon.
A little fun fact: The vending machine food,in America they were called ‘Automats’,and the very last one was in NYC,it closed down in,I believe,1986. I love those places in Amsterdam,back when one of those treats cost 1 guilder!!
"I am the world-leading expert. My word will be law." 🤣🤣🤣 Very nice. 😉 And you ate real Dutch VLA as requested by me after the last video. 👍 Okay, actually you drank it but that counts as well. 😊
Hallo ihr zwei👌Das war wieder einmal ein gelungenes Video von euch ! Ich bin auch oft in Holland auf dem Campingplatz in Roermond ! Das Essen in Holland ist nicht so langweilig wie es manchmal aussieht ! Ich bin oft Samstags auf dem Marktplatz und gönne mir dort Kibbeling ,ich finde ihn ausgezeichnet ,aber auch Softeis ist mein Favorit ! Außerdem mag ich gerne einige Backwaren! Und im Supermarkt kaufe ich gerne Fruchtjoghurt in den 1Liter Verpackungen 🤩🤩 und nicht zu vergessen ein Besuch im Outlet Center 💪
Moin Hans-Dieter, und ich liebe die Deutsche Küche :) My dad worked in Germany during the sixties, and he loved the various 'eintopf' recipes.. so I grew up with them :) They have a lot of healthy comfort food :)
You could also crush the bamischijf, put it on a bun, and put some mayo on it. Extremally tasty. Also... you eat the vla, with a bowl and a spoon. And what you can also do is put the chocolate sprinkles in the vla, for a quick morning breakfast.
Loved the last video were you ate some regular Dutch dishes, but in this video you got the real authentic dishes. Boterham hagelslag: 1 or 2 bread slices depends on preference Vla: you eat it Kapsalon: it's middle-east made Dutch😅
Hagelslag is exactly like what we have here in Australia except we call it fairy bread and we use 100 and 1000's which is rainbow coloured balls (a type of sprinkle) sprinkled on top of buttered white bread. A childhood party favourite.
And the best part is, there is endless amount of varieties of stamppot. It all goes by the name stamppot (hotchpot). "Stamp" litterly means stamping, like you hold the masher and stamp all the potatoes to a mash, "pot" is just a pot. The basis is rough mashed potatoes (with butter, milk or cream, pepper and salt), combined with kale or onions and carrots or raw endive or Brussel's sprouts or anything you like. It often comes with baked cubes of bacon in. When served, you make a dimple in the middle of the dish and fill it with gravy. As a sidedish, pickles is very nice and often you get mustard with it. For the meat, it is often served with "rookworst" (smoked sausage) or "gehaktbal" (meatball) or "speklap" (thick slice baked bacon) depending on what kind of stamppot you have. Fun fact, the name hotchpot comes from "hutspot", a specific kind of stamppot made with carrots and onions. It dates back to 1574 when the city of Leiden was sieged by the Spanish army.
I told ya the bami krokets were the bomb!! :D Phil, since you love doners, you MUST go try Leeman Doner (on Van Woustraat). Best doners in Europe. You two should also go try some Indonesian food in Amsterdam, my favorite is Sari Citra (on Ferdinand Bolstraat). Also, Dutch pancakes (pannenkoeken) are great, check out The Pancake Bakery (on Prinsengracht, near Anne Frank Huis).
Great tips from @mokumboi19. However, Leeman is arguably the best doner in the city (although there are people who prefer 'Best doner' on the Dappermarkt) but telling a German it's the best in Europe is a little embarassing. I still love Leeman but go to Berlin and you'll know the best doner ain't in Amsterdam.
@@elsociote I have been to many places in Germany many times, but have yet to visit Berlin (other than riding trough on a train). It's on my list. :) The best doner I ever had in Germany was in Osnabrueck. But I have never seen a German doner use great chili sauce, which automatically puts it a level below for me. Most German doners I've had used no kind of chili sauce at all = too greasy and one note for my taste.
Another great video of Dephi TV. 15:02 My teacher English at school had some trouble getting in England. He was bringing "gestampte muisjes" with him to his Dutch family in Great Britain. Gestampte is a white powder with anise and suger. I can't remember if he was arrested, but the product was inspected with great interest at the border control.
Nice to see you visit my place of birth :-) You tasted a few good classics; I think next time you should go for Surinamese food! There is excellent chicken, marinated pork belly, long beans called "kouseband" , roti and pom. And if you can go to a real indonesian restaurant that would be bomb too! Here the thing to do is order rijsttafel. Small varied dishes with rice. Would you like to travel to Antwerpen, Belgium? I live there now and would love to guide you to the best Belgian specialities! And no that is not just chocolate, beer and waffles.. there is so much more! I kindly invite you 2 to Antwerpen ; Just let me know if that would interest you.. I will adapt to your likes 🙂
I recommend you visit Maastricht if you are ever near there. It is close to the German border (Aachen is not far from there). There you should try zuurvlees (kind of a stew), konijn in het zuur (rabbit stew), Tête de veau (head of the veal), Limburgse koude schotel (kow sjottel), asperge (wenn they are in season). Just like many regions in the Netherlands, there a some great local dishes in Limburg.
Dutch food is sooo yummy! How do they do it? Well, they just bread everything and deepfry it, and it's fantastic. Also their fries with the almost yellow cheese-mayonaise? Omg...soo good. And the cheese in general is from another planet...i think it's because of all them healthy cows they've got. It's a mystery to me how any Dutch person can reach the age of 60 with that kind of food...pleasure beats cholesterol, i reckon... Greetings from Duitsland😂❤
If you do another visit to the Netherlands you should try the north sea prawns (garnalen) either in croquettes or in bread rolls, also dutch pancakes, erwtensoep and rijstevlaai (it's a rice pudding tart with cream and chocolate shavings). There is also plenty of really good indonesian and surinamese food in NL! Try the rijsttafel for example.
Can't beat a bowl of snert on a cold winter's day. Thick pea soup with sliced rockwurst. The department store 'hema' does the best snert imo. You'll find branches of Hema all across the Netherlands. Great place to have a healthy filling lunch without breaking the bank.
Nice video! Stroopwafel from the market are imo better than in the supermarkets, if you buy 10 in 1 package. If you have the package of 10 from supermarket or the market you can put it on your tea mug so it gets a bit warm you will experience a bit the same what you have with the freshly made. Edit: The guy sold you salted butter to bake in it is not the soft one for breadXD everyone eats hagelslag i guess in the netherlands
Nice video and very recognisable. Please try the sprinkles again, but with pure chocolate (‘vlokken’ are an interesting option too), white or yellow fresh bread from a bakery and salted butter. You might be surprised. Totally agree with the kaassouflé and bamihap by the way!
Bamiblok/schijf are amazing, we also have a different version of it called "Nasiblock" which is the same exact concetp ; but with Rice instead of Noodles , they taste very similair
Nice video again, always a joy to watch! Maybe next time, you can try some Dutch candy. For example Autodrop, Engelse drop and Katja. We have a lot! :)
Well there are lots of local and regional specialty dishes, especially snacks and bakery products. One of the most famous examples that comes to mind is the "Bossche Bol" that you can only get in 's Hertogenbosch (or Den Bosch) Outside Den Bosch you can buy bakery goods that are similar to it, but should be called "chocolade bollen" Another one is the "Zeeuwse bolus" which you'll find in the province of Zeeland
Yes, you bought the wrong hagelslag, you bought milk-choclate but you need to try "puur", much more crunchy and chocolaty. Also only use one slice of bread and make sure that the butter is nicely spreadable, not too cold. And: don't buy the pre-packed bread, get the freshly baked unpacked.
That FEBO is the one we used to go grab some snacks after going out to a bar on the square behind it. We are talking over 35 years ago. Next time at FEBO grab a kalsvleeskroket. It is has veal in it and is my favorite. We always grab at least one if we visit family in Amsterdam. (we moved to Austria 11 years ago) Bread with hagelslag is really good, but you need the right bread and butter at a spreadable temperature. If you ever get the chance again, get the dark hagelslag (puur) and at a bakery get a tijgerbrood (tigerbread ). Bakeries in The Netherlands are really worth a visit anyway. Vla you eat with a spoon from a bowl as desert. Very satisfying to buy one vanilla and one chocolate and poor them in your bowl at the same time.
Those cheese shops really cater to the tourists - and charge accordingly. Better selection (and cheaper!) at the Albert Heijn 😊 And I always bring back a couple of boxes of hagelslag LOL
My personal recommendation is Broodje Bapao! You can either get it at a store like Albert Heijn where you can put it in a microwave, close to the checkout or at one of the asian places you see kinda like everywhere. Besides that you have to try fries with Saté Sauce!
How is that even Dutch food, Chinese people eat this stuff as breakfast.. or any other time.. There's really nothing Dutch about Bapao. Well the supermarkets made the filling shittier, like put in cheap left over meats that are compressed and glued together instead of the original ones which you can get and Asian stores and restaurants that have real grilled pork meat inside or a sort of babi pangang.
@Bertrand Van Leeuwen completely irrelevant to the subject, but did you know that the rectangular Chinese/Indonesian "kroepoek" is as Dutch as hagelslag is? Point being, bapao can be a Dutch snack ;-)
@@Deimos000 no its not Kroepoek is actually originally from Indonesia. Kroepoek komt oorspronkelijk uit de Indonesische keuken. In Indonesië kent men wel tientallen of honderdtallen soorten kroepoek. Daarbij wordt in Indonesië elke snack die kraakt als 'krp-krp' kroepoek genoemd. Maar de meest bekende kroepoek die hier in Nederland gegeten wordt is de garnalen kroepoek
As one other has said this is not even Dutch food, the super market stuff here in the Netherlands is totally junk and the ones sold in the Asian markets here are a step above but are still not that great, the Chinese will simply call it a steamed bun, mostly with port or chicken, in the U.S. San Francisco China Town or the Chinese district on Clement street also in San Francisco you can also get them as baked buns but I will prefer steamed buns, In Hawaii they will be called Manapua and these that are made in HAWAII from China Town ARE THE BOMB, Having one of these will totally blow your mind! All the High Schools when school is out for the day there in HAWAII there will be a Manapua man selling these buns out of an old truck along with other snacks.
The small car at about 12:00 (and some later on) are what we call a 'brommobiel' (more internationally: quadricycle), they legally fall into the same category as mopeds. So in the Netherlands they are allowed on roads that allow mopeds and scooters. In general: on bicyle infrastructure in cities; and on bike paths that are open to mopeds and scooters (not all bike paths are). They can be driven without car driver's license (but do require a moped or 'brommobiel' driver's license).
You're still missing out on good Friesan Dutch food that is only in West Friesland Providence. Nagelkaas is herb infused aged cheese, way better than Gouda. The bakery food in West Friesland is also unique and delicious 👌 😋 And No hagelslag is on Open face toasted bread! You ate it wrong, however I have used peanut butter instead of butter. Hehe way more Reeses taste toast.
I guess stew is a national dish in the Netherlands, and there are a lot of variants, and I never saw this mix. I guess the endive was boiled along with the carrots and potatoes. I usually make the mashed potatoes and stir raw endive and diced fried bacon through it. The baking fat of the bacon is included in the mix which makes it a really hardy food.
My last visit to Amsterdam was September 2022. I have found that, in general, the Netherlands 🇳🇱 is very ecologically forward, more so than the US. In Amsterdam, on the street, they had several parking spots to recharge your electric car. The amount of bike riders out numbered the cars and pedestrians. The bike riders were very aggressive with their right of way. EVERYONE was friendly, courteous, and helpful. This is a city worth visiting. You will enjoy yourself. ❤
I remember my first time when I ever had been in The Netherlands I was 16 and it was a class trip. My group (we were like 8 people) tried to speak in English in a store where one guy wanted to buy a hoodie. At the end the damn cashier said in flawless German "Nice English, you all sound good" and we were pissed cause when we first asked he said he only speaks English or Dutch ...
Try pannenkoeken met stroop and spekpannekoeken, translated: pancakes with syrup (get "Rinse suikerstroop") and pancakes with bacon, salty bacon (in Dutch: "ontbijtspek"). I was born and raised in Amsterdam, I now live in Portugal for 8 years already.
Great video! It made me want to eat all these foods ☺️ For your next Dutch food tour I would recommend trying some real Dutch pancakes with bacon and/or cheese and stroop. Or some Indonesian and Surinamese food 👍
Actually, pancakes are not really typical Dutch. I live in Peru and here they make the same pancakes. But without bacon and cheese though, as that's expensive here and the bacon is quite tasteless (het is niet gepekeld)
@@Random_user_8472 Dutch pancakes are actually French crepes. But poffertjes are dutch😜. Dutch food overall is really tasteless, that's why there aren't many dutch restaurants. And if they serve dutch food, it's modernized.
@@MoMo-yn5hb Actually, the first known pancakes came from China, using buckwheat. But as pancakes are pretty much a general kind of food, you can say that they are a worldwide phenomenon. The North American natives also made their version of pancakes, using cornflour.
@@MoMo-yn5hb I'm sorry, but no, Dutch pancakes aren't the same as crêpes? They're much thicker and larger, have different toppings and are eaten at a different time of the day.
@@Random_user_8472 Off course every country has their own version of pancakes. I didn't say pancakes are only Dutch. But I think they should try the Dutch version, WITH bacon and cheese, because it's those ingredients that make them Dutch!
I shivered when you used roomboter as spreadable butter! We use that to cook or bake with! Some use it as normal butter but thats usually on toast or hot food (so it melts and becomes spreadable). I suggest getting 'beschuit' and then putting normal butter and 'hagelslag' or 'muisjes' on it :D
And i agree with another commenter: you should try tompouce ans bossche bollen, they are pastries. Also, the Netherlands have a lot of typical cookies like jan hagel, spritsen, kokosmakronen, gevulde koeken, bokkenpootjes, roze koeken, mergpijpjes en kletskoppen. The best ofcourse from a real baker.
The stampotten you had, actually Phil/you both had 2 different types: the one with the carrots is called "hutspot", this is mashed potatoes with carrots and onions. The other is I think endive stamppot (endive with potatoes mashed together). :) The hagelslag thing, usually eat it with brown bread, and the "healthy" butter (= margarine). As a child we even put that butter on top of the hagelslag as well 😛
Your faces, I love it... you don't need words to say: I'm in heaven! I'm Dutch and I've been living in Peru since 1,5 years... man I miss some of the Dutch food 😋 Enserio? 5€ for a syrup waffle? You've been robbed here haha, that's really a tourist price. They do the same here in Peru, overcharging tourists.
Fresh white bread from the bakery, room temperature roomboter and pure hagelslag...yummie. A treat but normally we eat brown or fullcorn bread , that is at my place . Try hachee with red cabbage and apples next. Traditional stew.
Try ROTI .. not dutch.. but we eat it a lot. ❤️roti❤️roti❤️roti❤️... and our Dutch prime minister takes out world leaders to dutch Indonesian restaurant for a rice table.. different small Indonesian dishes.
That old building next to the cheese tasting shop is The Netherlands oldest still working movie theater. And in 2021 it was chosen as the most beautiful movie theater in the world.
I just came across your channel today. I saw how you made the bread with hagelslag. Maybe someone allready told you but you need the soft butter to spread on the bread. I am really enjoying your videos.
13:19 I use “tijgerbrood or volkoren brood” and as butter I use “halvarine”. I prefer milk chocolate hagelslag, but dark chocolate (puur) can also be nice, or the mixed hagelslag.
Who else is hungry?! & Bertha ate the rest of the Hagelslag... Watch this video to see us Trying STROOPWAFEL and other Dutch Snacks & Candy! (th-cam.com/video/r_s6SgfIYUY/w-d-xo.html ) or First Time in the Netherlands! (th-cam.com/video/vEr6iuEs6kU/w-d-xo.html )
I prefer the big size chocolat sprinklers from Venz , way more crunchy. There are so many different sprinkler, try it !
Should have not take roomboter. That's more for baking or cooking.
Magarine is way better for it
@@baskkev7459 no it's not lol. Some dutch people might becel or margarine, but many of use actual butter. It tastes much better. They prepared it wrong though. It's usually just eaten on one bottom slice, cut in 4, not like a sandwhich. Way too much bread. They should've chosen vlokken instead of hagelslag though
Still miss smoked eal (on toast), smoked mackarel (on a bun) and tiny Dutch shrimp (very different from normal shrimp) cocktail
The Dutch do not use butter on a daily basis. They use halvarine. (A margarine with less fat.) It tastes the same and it spreads easier as well. And personally I would prefer a fresh bread from the baker than that shallow tasty white toast bread... And that small 'car' is actually a vehicle for the disabled. There are special regulations for it (cannot be wider than 110cm and you can ride it anywhere you like, so also the sidewalk) and no driving license is needed. Look up: Gehandicaptenvoertuig.
The fried snacks are definitely real dutch food. Not quite as traditional as something like the stamppot, but still very much dutch food.
Fried snacks are snacks and not real food. I hate it when tourists call them food.
@@jboreel1936 Yeah no, food is food. If you take street food and/or snacks out of the equation you remove huge parts of culture from any country you visit.
@@jboreel1936 What's your definition of food then?
@@peterhallman9614 any nutritious substance that people eat.
@@producz3r025 exactly my thoughts
Advice: If you have supermarket stroopwafels, put them on a hot cup of tea to get the stroop melting.
Next time you should try erwtensoep (also known as snert) A real Dutch winter dish. Comes with rookworst, so I think you guys will like it.
Definitely a must try. I usual eat it with "katenspek on roggebrood" pork meat on Dutch/Frisian rye bread as side dish. Delicious!! Also brown bean soup is a traditional dutch dish
I always eat snert with "zeeuws spek and roggebrood" and while you are at it our mussel recipe is also a good dutch original, something they also haven't gotten yet but is more of a snack is "patatje oorlog"
Don't forget to buy roggebrood, (some margerine/butter and) katerspek. It's a great dish on the side with ertensoep/snert.
I eat stampoot all winters 😅
…split pea soup.
Phil was actually licking the plate! Too funny, but imo it's one of the biggest compliments a chef can get! I need to go there.
According to the usual explanation, the Kapsalon dish originated in 2003 when Nataniël Gomes, the owner of a hairdressing salon (Kapsalon in Dutch) on Rotterdam's Schiedamseweg, had a lunch dish composed with all his favorite ingredients at the shawarma shop El Aviva, located a little further away. It became a regular order, which was given the designation 'Kapsalon'.
Yes Hagelslag is a childhood thing.
As a child I always got 1 tasty (sweet) sandwich and 1 healthy sandwich.
And with Roomboter is nice, but too thick.
Other (spreadable) butter is better and then spread on both sandwiches.
But you seemed very Dutch when you ate the sandwich.
Not for me and many people! I know loads of people who still eat hagelslag
And you will need other bread. This was bread for toasting. For example take tijgerbrood, wit. Loads of spreadable butter and than a thick layer of hagelslag 😉
@@TheRisingIcarus yes I do also still eat hagelslag. (Met pindakaas)
But I think it’s still more a thing that children eat.
Oh yeah its even on top of the list to take with you on foreign hollidays😂 we love our hagelslag!!
Yes another type of butter and spread it on both parts of bread. Butter was not spread evenly. I also like it better when there is just enough hagelslag, no overload. Good balance between butter and hagelslag.
I think this is the first time I've seen anyone try a "stamppot" dish before on these type of video's, I'm glad you liked it. About the hagelslag sandwich: I think it would work better if you use a different kind of butter, the one you used is mostly used for baking. It doesn't really spread well over bread. Try margerine next time. And if you are going to do another food tour in The Netherlands, can I suggest Groningen? Lots of places to eat, pubs and bars (that stay open for a long time), and you can try an "eierbal".
Bah nee joh. Gewoon echte roomboter, niet van dat naar plastic smakende nepspul. Gewoon even in kleine hoeveelheden op kamertemperatuur houden en dan is het prima smeerbaar. 5 seconden magnetron werkt ook.
You are so right msb... just one simple slice of fresh bread and thick spreadable unsalted butter with a liberal dose of choc. hagelslag (I prefer dark ) is what I would do, and still do. The last dish is unfamiliar to me but soggy chips (patat) doesn`t seem very Dutch and is a no no for me . Perhaps a Dutch style ``gebraden haantje`` from a local take away shop would tickle their taste buds, they are unsurpassed.
groningen >
Oh my using margarine on your bread is almost like cursing. Please please use dairy butter and not the fake thing.
@@AlmightyAphrodite gatver, nee, roomboter is veel te overweldigend in smaak en ruineert whatever je er bovenop gooit.
I am dutch myself, and I find it So cool that you go all the way over here just to pick a tast of our culture 😊😊
It’s the best place/people/culture ! Love from uk
Hi, the potatoes with carrots and cabbage is similar to Colcannon eaten in Ireland, boiled potatoes, boiled cabbage and possibly onion which is mashed with milk and butter and is delicious.
In German, "lecker" is for the taste of food. In Dutch, anything can be "lecker". I remember back in the 80s when we were at a camping site in Italy, and next to us was a family from the Netherlands. Every morrning, the father would get out of the tent and exclaim "Aah, lecker Wetter!" 🙂
Good observation! But when we say “lekker belangrijk” (lecker wichtig) it’s actually meant in a sarcastic way.
In Dutch it would be "lekker"
Lekker weertje hé
in dutch its called lekker
@@0906jurjen heerlijk zelfs!
Just so you know. Amsterdam was Car-Centric in the past too! It's been a multi decade process of making it more bike, pedestrian and public transit centric. It's never to late to start transitioning to it!
Rule of thumb on the pronunciation of Dutch words: OO is a long O sound -- "stroop" (the Dutch word for "syrup") rhymes with the English word "rope". What the English would pronounce as they do OO is in Dutch spelled with an OE: "broek" (the Dutch word for "trousers") rhymes with the English word "cook".
Last time I was in the Netherlands (decades ago, alas), I'd go to the cafeteria in the Hema (usually the one close to the city centre of The Hague) for a bowl of pea soup "met". "Met" means "with", which in the context of pea soup meant the addition of a piece of cooked bacon fat, which perhaps sounds a bit iffy but it was utterly food of the gods, very filling and perfect for a cold day. It's unlikely that places like Hema's cafeterias cater to tourists, so you might try those for authenticity; with any luck, Hema's pea soup is still good. In any case, as I'm sure you already know it's best stay out of areas where tourists congregate. Tourists just drive up price and drive out authenticity.
The first meal with the mashed potatoes, meatball, sausage and gravy looked the best. Thanks for the food tour.
We call it comfort food in the Netherlands, mostly eaten during winter time. It's really good!
@@Brozius2512 Looks great to me. I love hot food with gravy in the winter.
My personal favourite stamppot is andijvie stamppot with speklapjes and spekjes in the stamppot as well.
I love your Spontaneous and enthusiastic responses to all the things the Netherlands has to offer. You need to make more video's in the various regions of the Netherlands.
i think you should try to avoid the tourist traps more.. ive noticed this in a couple of videos. maybe find a local fixer who can help you find the real spots.
Drinking vla in the middle of the street right from the carton, that's fantastic!
Colloquially "boter" in the Netherlands also refers to margarine and what's commonly known as 'halvarine' (a strictly Dutch term), a spreadable blend of margarine and vegetable oils. Much easier to spread on bread for hagelslag. :-) 'Roomboter' is the real butter. (Some brands write 'echte boter', real butter, on their roomboter wrappers.)
Yeah exactly this. The shopkeeper was just trying to do his job, people often say butter when they really mean margarine. Putting butter on your hagelslag sandwich is asking for disaster.
@@spinozatheobvious626 Especially doing it in the cold and rain! Quite nice if you let roomboter get to room temperature first.
margarine stinks!
Boter is boter.. margarine is geen boter dat is olie.. vroeger at iedereen gewoon boter tot er een goedkopere palmolie variant bedacht is die zogenaamd gezonder was.. blijkt achteraf ook niet echt zo te zijn.. stop je boter gewoon niet in de koelkast maar in een botervloot.. dan is hij goed smeerbaar zoals hij bedoelt is..
@@maartenperdeck798 ik ben opgegroeid met margarine en noemde dat gewoon boter, echte boter was veel te duur voor het normale huishouden en was voor veel mensen een luxe! Overigenskrijgen mensen met een melk (lactose of melkeiwit) intolerantie diarree van boter, dus hoezo "stinks".
Well... when we say boter, we actually mean margarine. Roomboter is pretty Dutch, but it's more for like croissants which isn't so much ofc. When you take one slice of bread and you cover it in a layer of margarine the hagelslag stays on, that's what he ment.
@@TIEfichter boter is boter, never margarine and it's definitely not just for croissants.
As a Dutchman I can comfortably say that I would have eaten the stamppot, rookworst (smoked sausage), and gehaktball (meatball) and still would have gotten a second plate of it. Definitely one of the foods you miss when living abroad for a while, in my case when I went to South Africa for half a year.
It is hard to find a country without kitchen tradition. Holland is one of them. You do not have any "dutch kitchen" - this is german, french, belgian and turkish.
@@podunkman2709 no you are just uncultured, based on your answer you don't even know what cuisine actually means.
Toast with sprinkles! It’s delicious! We eat it open faced. You can do rainbow too. We eat this for breakfast with European breakfast. My husband is German/Dutch. Thanks for this fun video!
The food and scenery looked great, but your sense of humor is what really brings everything together! 💕
Stamppot is my favourite meal! We normally say it's only for autumn and winter, but I can eat it on the hottest summer day.
The endive and carrot usually gets added raw, because cooked endive goes bitter in the mash. But the rest was accurate. We mash (stamp) the potatos in the same pan we cooked them in, just take out the water you used to boil them, add some milk and butter, then stamp away. Add a rookworst on top to let it steam to a good temperature, as you cook it a last few minutes, then serve with a side of gehaktbal or bacon cubes
You also got ripped off on the stroopwafel. You can buy them for €1 to €1,50 at a regular market.
Fun fact: The Kapsalon exists in Australia too, they call it a Halal Snack Pack (or more popularly, HSP). Kapsalon is not supposed to be very culinary, it's just something you devour when you get home from the pub at 3AM
I will be traveling to Holland for the first time this spring and I can't wait to try some of these foods when I get there. I am an American now but I was born in Germany. My family moved to the US when I was a small child (many, many years ago). I actually found your channel last year when I was planning a trip back to Germany and wanted to practice my German. I think the first video of yours that I watched was Phil speaking only German to his American girlfriend for a day and I have been watching your videos ever since. I really enjoy your channel!!!
Veel plezier , 😊
I don't know if someone already replied about the vanille vla but we eat it as dessert. And we just put some in a bowl and eat it with a spoon. I grew up eating it as a dessert, especially at my grandparents. And we mixed it with some yogurt and 'roosvicee', which is some kind of sirop. There also is vanille yoghurt which is basically yogurt with vanilla flavor, but as a kid I prefered the vanille vla! :D
Yea , that's a lot better than just the snacks, eventhough they are great like Deana said.. Phil licking the plate lmao 😄Stampot is my favorite winter dish..
Bami hap for life!, goes great with some chilli sauce, but even mustard can be good. The choclate sprinkles are probably a childhood thing for most people. I almost never eat it, but when I do. I prefer the pure chocolate sprinkles.
Fun fact about kapsalon.
Kapsolon translated to English would be the hairdresser's saloon. The history behind the name comes from the city of Rotterdam where a local hairdresser would order this dish (in it's specific way where everything is just put on top of each other) at the next door Doner shop. It became popular and since the dish didn't have a name they named it kapsalon after the hairdresser saloon that was the first to order it. Years later. You can find this dish in many cities across the world. Especially those that get visited by a lot of Dutch people.
Very cool fact! Thank you for the info! When I tried looking for "kapsalon" on google maps, hair salons kept popping up. That's why we had to resort to just google and reddit. Then we learned almost every Döner shop in Amsterdam sells kapsalon. The name makes sense now!
@@DeanaandPhil 😉.
Thanks for the great content guys.. Keep it up.. 😘😘
Bamihap speciaal, gotta try, it's great imo.
Hagelslag is not a childhood thing for me. Nor the people I know. We all eat it and we love to eat it. We're all adults and I wasn't even allowed hagelslag as a child. It's just really good.
That all looked delicious. I grew up in the USA but my family is Dutch. As a kid, I would have toasted bread heavily buttered and then w/ Hagel on it and a sausage on the side. Once, I had to take my breakfast on the bus and everyone was wondering what I was eating.
I love the Netherlands, I lived in Groningen years ago. In Australia we have a similar thing to Kapsilan, we call it a Halal Snack Pack (HSP). Febo is so nostalgic, I remember seeing it for the first time and I couldn't believe you could just go and buy things out of those little warmers.
its Kapsalon so you know^^. and yes Febo is amazing. it sucks that they removed it out of my home town. we cant get food from that kind of places anymore.
"Kapsalon" is kebab honey. This not "dutch" but comes from midfle east/asia. Go to Turkey, u'll find most of "dutch kitchen". Ten visit Germany to find rest.
Great tour! Glad you mention Mister Meatball. I love stampot and hutspot(carrots&unions) but don't make it myself, living alone. I will be eating there soon.
The nice old building next to the Henri Willig cheeseshop is the Tuschinski theater. The most beautyfull cinema you have ever seen.
You had the right ingredients for the chocolade sprinkle sandwich but you didn't know how to apply them properly.
#1 Have the Roomboter at kitchen temperature .
#2 Spread the butter until no bread is visible. Both slices!
#3 Cover one slice with the choclade sprinkles of you choice and spread out until no butter is visible.
#4 cover up with the second sandwhich and enjoy your breakfast.
Foodtip: Have a Rijsttafel at a good indonesian restaurant.
I'm Dutch. So bread with sprinkles/hagelslag is for breakfast. Vla is for dessert. Stroopwafel is a snack/cookie. Kaassoufle & bamischijf are fastfood snacks.
The best fries are Raspatat/ Maxpatat. It is not available in the whole Netherlands but if you come across it, don't hesitate and check it out. For a sauce with any fries you should definitely try Oorlog ( meaning war ) this is mayonaise with peanutsauce and onions. You will be amazed for sure.
not toast the bread correct ? Mom used to get it for me when we visit Dortrecht . Loved my time in Holland.
@@memories511 You could toast the bread and add butter and sprinkles after. That tastes pretty good as well. They used the wrong butter though. The butter in the video is meant for baking xD Not for bread
@@andreone3415 Sure you could toast it, but when I got the sprinkles , mom never toasted it, the reason I said that. At any rate, they taste pretty good !
First of all, Love your video's! I like "broodje hagelslag" the most with bread from the bakery, fresh White bread or "witte bolletjes". Not the bread you guys used🙈🙈 its also reeeaaally good with peanutbutter(pindakaas&hagelslag) !! 💕
Definitely try a Surinamese place for delicious stuff. You are not likely to find it outside of Surinam or NL. Maybe also treat yourself to Indonesian food. Both were colonies once and both have been responsible for fantastic dishes.
Exactly......Roti is a must!
@@PainInTheS Roti is Indian food. Slaves took it to Surinam.
@@waso778 Hmmm....could have guessed because of the massala curry. Suriname is of course very diverse and a melting pot of people.
Is the Surinam roti the same as Indian? Lots of times an own traditional way has been developed over the course of time.
And I actually think of Surinam people when I think Roti.....learned to eat and make it because of Surinam people.
@@PainInTheS ja roti komt uit India maar je heb gelijk ,het is veranderd doordat de curry (massala)aangepast is naar kruiden uit suriname,Guyana en Trinidad and tabago hebben ook hun eigen variatie van roti
@@waso778 de Indiërs waren geen slaven ,maar contractarbeiders ,en roti is aangepast naar kruiden die ook voorkomen in suriname
We had the pleasure of visiting Mister Meatball last week, and everything about it was fantastic. Young Nadia sat us at the family cafe next door for a beer while we waited for a table to open up (there are only 12 seats in the place). We ordered the full “flight” of Stampots and meatballs plus 2 orders of the sausage. Mama came out with some bacon gravy and was truly impressed to see 3 of us clean the entire plate. Wonderful people, great food, and the price was more than reasonable. Highly recommended!
Stamppot double p!
Next time you are in Amsterdam you must try a Rijsttafel, a Dutch word that literally translates to "rice table", is an Indonesian elaborate meal adapted by the Dutch. YUM!
We normally let the butter warm up before we used it so it spreads instead of being chunks (make a lot of difference!). Also you choose salted butter, unsalted is probably better. There is also a butter version that is already spreadable without having to warm it up. A we most often eat it on one slice like a toast or a (soft) bun... this gives a better balance between the bread, butter and chocolate. Imo dark chocolate tastes better. But I can definitely see that this might be a thing you have to grow up with... on the other hand we have many more sprinkles you can try with chocolate and without.
Nice video about the Netherlands. I'm living there almost whole my life.
Yes 'brood met boter en hagelslag' is a breakfast and lunch thing for the Dutch. I grew up with first a slice of bread with meat (ham or something) or cheese. Then I was allowed to have another slice with hagelslag. But now I live on my own and I still eat a slice of bread with hageslag.
Vanille vla, is most of the time eaten as a dessert. Sometimes you can put hagelslag or limonade syrup also in it.
One of my favourite dish is potatoes with 'snijbiet' (kinda endive like) with a kind of bechamel sauce. :) But unfortunately snijbiet is a forgotten vegetable here, so it isn't in the grocery stores anymore. So I grew them in my garden for a couple of years.
Another favourite dish for me is: potatoes, with chicory and ham and cheese baked in the oven. Don't know if it's typical Dutch though!
Sometimes i drove over the Border only to get Vanille Fla.😁
Guilty for beeing a dutch food fan.
Lets be honest hardly anyone eats hagelslag these days
@@user-ie6jr4bg1w what??? I eat hagelslag every day, on brown bread, for breakfast. Or on a cracker as a little snack. I might be a boomer, but my children, aged between 28 and 34, like their daily dose of hagelsag as much as I do :-)
@@user-ie6jr4bg1w becaise Hagelslag is pure Rock'n'Roll
thats the poor dutch peoples meals tbh
We eat the vla in a bowl with a spoon, it’s a dessert. You can also put some hagelslag on it, that gives a nice bite to it
Funny to see you tasting the food that the dutch citizens are so familiar with.
Although the mashed potato dish in this episode is also a 'fusion' dish.
Actually the real stamppot is potato based, one type of vegetable and some onion and goes with some different types of meat.
Here you had the carrot version and the endive version. Mixed together.
So the carrot stamppot is named hutspot goes with almost overcooked beefstew ( klapstuk) and has it's origin in the west of Nederland ( city of Leiden)
The endive version is named foeksandievie, goes with added baked baconpieces and comes from the east of Nederland. ( area's Twente and Gelderland) But these days both dishes are common everywhere in Nederland
About the hagelslag, yes for most of us it's more of a childhood thing but some of us still eat it as adults too...
Try hagelslag on warm 'brötchen' (Dutch: broodjes). The kind you can buy at Aldi/Lidl etc in Germany that are pre packaged & pre heated & you can heat up at home.
When you put hagelslag on a warm broodje/brötchen and press down on the top half of the broodje/brötchen the sprinkles start to melt a little bit and this tastes imo even better than the usual 'hagelslag sandwich'. Butter is optional for this one 😅
Glad to see you enjoy The Netherlands so much & happy you didn't just visit Amsterdam but got to see a more 'regular/non metropole/smaller' city like Eindhoven too 😅🥰🇳🇱
This is the story about kapsalon:
There were people working at a hair dressing place, which is called a kapsalon in Dutch. And on their break they often went to a certain take away restaurant.
They asked if he could make them fries, put meat and cheese on top, etc. They did this so often that after a while the restaurant just began to call their order: kapsalon.
Later they began to put the dish on the menu and called it kapsalon and it began to spread real fast throughout the country, because now everybody is eating it and calling it kapsalon.
As an addition: This happened in Rotterdam. The restaurant still exists after 20 years and is called "el Aviva"
@@danideboe thanks for the addition! 😁👍
Kapsalon is from Rotterdam; the guy who first made it passed away this year. 😞
A little fun fact:
The vending machine food,in America they were called ‘Automats’,and the very last one was in NYC,it closed down in,I believe,1986.
I love those places in Amsterdam,back when one of those treats cost 1 guilder!!
"I am the world-leading expert. My word will be law." 🤣🤣🤣
Very nice. 😉
And you ate real Dutch VLA as requested by me after the last video. 👍

Hallo ihr zwei👌Das war wieder einmal ein gelungenes Video von euch ! Ich bin auch oft in Holland auf dem Campingplatz in Roermond ! Das Essen in Holland ist nicht so langweilig wie es manchmal aussieht ! Ich bin oft Samstags auf dem Marktplatz und gönne mir dort Kibbeling ,ich finde ihn ausgezeichnet ,aber auch Softeis ist mein Favorit ! Außerdem mag ich gerne einige Backwaren! Und im Supermarkt kaufe ich gerne Fruchtjoghurt in den 1Liter Verpackungen 🤩🤩 und nicht zu vergessen ein Besuch im Outlet Center 💪
Moin Hans-Dieter, und ich liebe die Deutsche Küche :) My dad worked in Germany during the sixties, and he loved the various 'eintopf' recipes.. so I grew up with them :) They have a lot of healthy comfort food :)
You could also crush the bamischijf, put it on a bun, and put some mayo on it. Extremally tasty.
Also... you eat the vla, with a bowl and a spoon. And what you can also do is put the chocolate sprinkles in the vla, for a quick morning breakfast.
Loved the last video were you ate some regular Dutch dishes, but in this video you got the real authentic dishes.
Boterham hagelslag: 1 or 2 bread slices depends on preference
Vla: you eat it
Kapsalon: it's middle-east made Dutch😅
Hagelslag is exactly like what we have here in Australia except we call it fairy bread and we use 100 and 1000's which is rainbow coloured balls (a type of sprinkle) sprinkled on top of buttered white bread. A childhood party favourite.
The chocolate sprinkles you had are available in supermarkets in whole Nordrhein Westfalen 😀
OMG! You made me feel homesick. I used to live there for 13 years in the 80s and 90s ....
Next dutch daytrip should imo be to The Efteling
And the best part is, there is endless amount of varieties of stamppot. It all goes by the name stamppot (hotchpot). "Stamp" litterly means stamping, like you hold the masher and stamp all the potatoes to a mash, "pot" is just a pot. The basis is rough mashed potatoes (with butter, milk or cream, pepper and salt), combined with kale or onions and carrots or raw endive or Brussel's sprouts or anything you like. It often comes with baked cubes of bacon in. When served, you make a dimple in the middle of the dish and fill it with gravy. As a sidedish, pickles is very nice and often you get mustard with it. For the meat, it is often served with "rookworst" (smoked sausage) or "gehaktbal" (meatball) or "speklap" (thick slice baked bacon) depending on what kind of stamppot you have. Fun fact, the name hotchpot comes from "hutspot", a specific kind of stamppot made with carrots and onions. It dates back to 1574 when the city of Leiden was sieged by the Spanish army.
I told ya the bami krokets were the bomb!! :D Phil, since you love doners, you MUST go try Leeman Doner (on Van Woustraat). Best doners in Europe. You two should also go try some Indonesian food in Amsterdam, my favorite is Sari Citra (on Ferdinand Bolstraat). Also, Dutch pancakes (pannenkoeken) are great, check out The Pancake Bakery (on Prinsengracht, near Anne Frank Huis).
Great tips from @mokumboi19. However, Leeman is arguably the best doner in the city (although there are people who prefer 'Best doner' on the Dappermarkt) but telling a German it's the best in Europe is a little embarassing. I still love Leeman but go to Berlin and you'll know the best doner ain't in Amsterdam.
@@elsociote I have been to many places in Germany many times, but have yet to visit Berlin (other than riding trough on a train). It's on my list. :) The best doner I ever had in Germany was in Osnabrueck. But I have never seen a German doner use great chili sauce, which automatically puts it a level below for me. Most German doners I've had used no kind of chili sauce at all = too greasy and one note for my taste.
@@mokumboi19 if you do go, try Mustafa's Gemüse Kebab. Then let me know what you think :)
Another great video of Dephi TV.
15:02 My teacher English at school had some trouble getting in England. He was bringing "gestampte muisjes" with him to his Dutch family in Great Britain. Gestampte is a white powder with anise and suger. I can't remember if he was arrested, but the product was inspected with great interest at the border control.
Nice to see you visit my place of birth :-) You tasted a few good classics; I think next time you should go for Surinamese food! There is excellent chicken, marinated pork belly, long beans called "kouseband" , roti and pom. And if you can go to a real indonesian restaurant that would be bomb too! Here the thing to do is order rijsttafel. Small varied dishes with rice.
Would you like to travel to Antwerpen, Belgium? I live there now and would love to guide you to the best Belgian specialities! And no that is not just chocolate, beer and waffles.. there is so much more! I kindly invite you 2 to Antwerpen ; Just let me know if that would interest you.. I will adapt to your likes 🙂
I recommend you visit Maastricht if you are ever near there. It is close to the German border (Aachen is not far from there). There you should try zuurvlees (kind of a stew), konijn in het zuur (rabbit stew), Tête de veau (head of the veal), Limburgse koude schotel (kow sjottel), asperge (wenn they are in season). Just like many regions in the Netherlands, there a some great local dishes in Limburg.
This video has me wanting to go to the Netherlands. When I was stationed in Germany, I never made it to Amsterdam.
You're welcome anytime.
3:26 the answer is yes tasty means lekker you can use it for example dit gerecht is heel lekker which means this meal/course is very tasty
Dutch food is sooo yummy! How do they do it? Well, they just bread everything and deepfry it, and it's fantastic. Also their fries with the almost yellow cheese-mayonaise? Omg...soo good. And the cheese in general is from another planet...i think it's because of all them healthy cows they've got.
It's a mystery to me how any Dutch person can reach the age of 60 with that kind of food...pleasure beats cholesterol, i reckon...
Greetings from Duitsland😂❤
Well we dont eat fried snacks EVERY SINGLE DAY. Thats waaaaaay to stereotype.
Way to unhealthy xd
We are from the US and were in Amsterdam last August and I loved the koostengels and the Rivella drink!! Yum!
If you do another visit to the Netherlands you should try the north sea prawns (garnalen) either in croquettes or in bread rolls, also dutch pancakes, erwtensoep and rijstevlaai (it's a rice pudding tart with cream and chocolate shavings). There is also plenty of really good indonesian and surinamese food in NL! Try the rijsttafel for example.
Rijste vlaai is alleen in limburg he
Oeh! garnalenkroket!!!! Mmmmmmm!!!!
Can't beat a bowl of snert on a cold winter's day. Thick pea soup with sliced rockwurst. The department store 'hema' does the best snert imo. You'll find branches of Hema all across the Netherlands. Great place to have a healthy filling lunch without breaking the bank.
Nice video! Stroopwafel from the market are imo better than in the supermarkets, if you buy 10 in 1 package. If you have the package of 10 from supermarket or the market you can put it on your tea mug so it gets a bit warm you will experience a bit the same what you have with the freshly made.
Edit: The guy sold you salted butter to bake in it is not the soft one for breadXD everyone eats hagelslag i guess in the netherlands
my exact thought, on the market they’re the best & only €2,50
Nice video and very recognisable. Please try the sprinkles again, but with pure chocolate (‘vlokken’ are an interesting option too), white or yellow fresh bread from a bakery and salted butter. You might be surprised. Totally agree with the kaassouflé and bamihap by the way!
Rijsttafel is a must try. It is indonesian/dutch and just became a world heritage food. You can find it in every town.
Thought you said rijstwafel i was like nooooo the dryness
@@venomgaming2331oh hahahahaha same😂😂😂
Bamiblok/schijf are amazing, we also have a different version of it called "Nasiblock" which is the same exact concetp ; but with Rice instead of Noodles , they taste very similair
Nice video again, always a joy to watch! Maybe next time, you can try some Dutch candy. For example Autodrop, Engelse drop and Katja. We have a lot! :)
Try putting supermarket stroopwafels in the microwave for a couple of seconds when your back home!
You should try a "frikandel speciaal" and a "patatje oorlog" next time.
Or a Jos Brinkie
Well there are lots of local and regional specialty dishes, especially snacks and bakery products. One of the most famous examples that comes to mind is the "Bossche Bol" that you can only get in 's Hertogenbosch (or Den Bosch)
Outside Den Bosch you can buy bakery goods that are similar to it, but should be called "chocolade bollen"
Another one is the "Zeeuwse bolus" which you'll find in the province of Zeeland
Next time you should try white bread with pindakaas of Calvé with hagelslag puur.
= Broodje snicker!
Yes! Best peanut butter I have ever had!
Yes, you bought the wrong hagelslag, you bought milk-choclate but you need to try "puur", much more crunchy and chocolaty. Also only use one slice of bread and make sure that the butter is nicely spreadable, not too cold. And: don't buy the pre-packed bread, get the freshly baked unpacked.
I always take the 'kapsalon Hete Kip' (hot chicken). It's more seasoned. Nice and spicy. Nice video guys!
Welcome to the Netherlands again 👋
Dankjewel, Bianca!
That FEBO is the one we used to go grab some snacks after going out to a bar on the square behind it. We are talking over 35 years ago. Next time at FEBO grab a kalsvleeskroket. It is has veal in it and is my favorite. We always grab at least one if we visit family in Amsterdam. (we moved to Austria 11 years ago)
Bread with hagelslag is really good, but you need the right bread and butter at a spreadable temperature. If you ever get the chance again, get the dark hagelslag (puur) and at a bakery get a tijgerbrood (tigerbread ). Bakeries in The Netherlands are really worth a visit anyway.
Vla you eat with a spoon from a bowl as desert. Very satisfying to buy one vanilla and one chocolate and poor them in your bowl at the same time.
Kapsalon is originally from Rotterdam. I’m glad you liked the Dutch food and streetfood. You should definitely do a food tour (and visit Rotterdam).
Those cheese shops really cater to the tourists - and charge accordingly. Better selection (and cheaper!) at the Albert Heijn 😊 And I always bring back a couple of boxes of hagelslag LOL
My personal recommendation is Broodje Bapao! You can either get it at a store like Albert Heijn where you can put it in a microwave, close to the checkout or at one of the asian places you see kinda like everywhere. Besides that you have to try fries with Saté Sauce!
How is that even Dutch food, Chinese people eat this stuff as breakfast.. or any other time.. There's really nothing Dutch about Bapao. Well the supermarkets made the filling shittier, like put in cheap left over meats that are compressed and glued together instead of the original ones which you can get and Asian stores and restaurants that have real grilled pork meat inside or a sort of babi pangang.
@Bertrand Van Leeuwen completely irrelevant to the subject, but did you know that the rectangular Chinese/Indonesian "kroepoek" is as Dutch as hagelslag is? Point being, bapao can be a Dutch snack ;-)
@@Deimos000 no its not Kroepoek is actually originally from Indonesia.
Kroepoek komt oorspronkelijk uit de Indonesische keuken. In Indonesië kent men wel tientallen of honderdtallen soorten kroepoek. Daarbij wordt in Indonesië elke snack die kraakt als 'krp-krp' kroepoek genoemd. Maar de meest bekende kroepoek die hier in Nederland gegeten wordt is de garnalen kroepoek
As one other has said this is not even Dutch food, the super market stuff here in the Netherlands is totally junk and the ones sold in the Asian markets here are a step above but are still not that great, the Chinese will simply call it a steamed bun, mostly with port or chicken, in the U.S. San Francisco China Town or the Chinese district on Clement street also in San Francisco you can also get them as baked buns but I will prefer steamed buns, In Hawaii they will be called Manapua and these that are made in HAWAII from China Town ARE THE BOMB, Having one of these will totally blow your mind! All the High Schools when school is out for the day there in HAWAII there will be a Manapua man selling these buns out of an old truck along with other snacks.
The small car at about 12:00 (and some later on) are what we call a 'brommobiel' (more internationally: quadricycle), they legally fall into the same category as mopeds. So in the Netherlands they are allowed on roads that allow mopeds and scooters. In general: on bicyle infrastructure in cities; and on bike paths that are open to mopeds and scooters (not all bike paths are). They can be driven without car driver's license (but do require a moped or 'brommobiel' driver's license).
You're still missing out on good Friesan Dutch food that is only in West Friesland Providence. Nagelkaas is herb infused aged cheese, way better than Gouda. The bakery food in West Friesland is also unique and delicious 👌 😋
And No hagelslag is on Open face toasted bread! You ate it wrong, however I have used peanut butter instead of butter. Hehe way more Reeses taste toast.
You guys should go to the Efteling, it is a magical theme park like Disney. Even though the Efteling is older than the first Disney park...
I guess stew is a national dish in the Netherlands, and there are a lot of variants, and I never saw this mix. I guess the endive was boiled along with the carrots and potatoes. I usually make the mashed potatoes and stir raw endive and diced fried bacon through it. The baking fat of the bacon is included in the mix which makes it a really hardy food.
that's how I make my endive stew too! one of my faves, also love kale, sauerkraut and sprouts stew mmmm bring on winter time!
My last visit to Amsterdam was September 2022. I have found that, in general, the Netherlands 🇳🇱 is very ecologically forward, more so than the US. In Amsterdam, on the street, they had several parking spots to recharge your electric car. The amount of bike riders out numbered the cars and pedestrians. The bike riders were very aggressive with their right of way. EVERYONE was friendly, courteous, and helpful. This is a city worth visiting. You will enjoy yourself. ❤
I want some Kaassoufflé! 😍🧀🤤
Grandma's meatball sounds like a grimy Mrs. Doubtfire reference. 🤣😂
I wouldn't trust mrs Doubtfire to cook anything ! 🤪
OK so I love Bertha... but I also appreciate different cultures speaking English. I want to learn so many languages
Agreeddd! 🐮💕
I remember my first time when I ever had been in The Netherlands I was 16 and it was a class trip. My group (we were like 8 people) tried to speak in English in a store where one guy wanted to buy a hoodie. At the end the damn cashier said in flawless German "Nice English, you all sound good" and we were pissed cause when we first asked he said he only speaks English or Dutch ...
Try pannenkoeken met stroop and spekpannekoeken, translated: pancakes with syrup (get "Rinse suikerstroop") and pancakes with bacon, salty bacon (in Dutch: "ontbijtspek"). I was born and raised in Amsterdam, I now live in Portugal for 8 years already.
Great video! It made me want to eat all these foods ☺️
For your next Dutch food tour I would recommend trying some real Dutch pancakes with bacon and/or cheese and stroop.
Or some Indonesian and Surinamese food 👍
Actually, pancakes are not really typical Dutch. I live in Peru and here they make the same pancakes. But without bacon and cheese though, as that's expensive here and the bacon is quite tasteless (het is niet gepekeld)
@@Random_user_8472 Dutch pancakes are actually French crepes. But poffertjes are dutch😜. Dutch food overall is really tasteless, that's why there aren't many dutch restaurants. And if they serve dutch food, it's modernized.
@@MoMo-yn5hb Actually, the first known pancakes came from China, using buckwheat. But as pancakes are pretty much a general kind of food, you can say that they are a worldwide phenomenon. The North American natives also made their version of pancakes, using cornflour.
@@MoMo-yn5hb I'm sorry, but no, Dutch pancakes aren't the same as crêpes? They're much thicker and larger, have different toppings and are eaten at a different time of the day.
@@Random_user_8472 Off course every country has their own version of pancakes. I didn't say pancakes are only Dutch. But I think they should try the Dutch version, WITH bacon and cheese, because it's those ingredients that make them Dutch!
I shivered when you used roomboter as spreadable butter! We use that to cook or bake with! Some use it as normal butter but thats usually on toast or hot food (so it melts and becomes spreadable). I suggest getting 'beschuit' and then putting normal butter and 'hagelslag' or 'muisjes' on it :D
And i agree with another commenter: you should try tompouce ans bossche bollen, they are pastries. Also, the Netherlands have a lot of typical cookies like jan hagel, spritsen, kokosmakronen, gevulde koeken, bokkenpootjes, roze koeken, mergpijpjes en kletskoppen. The best ofcourse from a real baker.
oliebollen seizoen net gemiat...
The stampotten you had, actually Phil/you both had 2 different types: the one with the carrots is called "hutspot", this is mashed potatoes with carrots and onions. The other is I think endive stamppot (endive with potatoes mashed together). :)
The hagelslag thing, usually eat it with brown bread, and the "healthy" butter (= margarine). As a child we even put that butter on top of the hagelslag as well 😛
Your faces, I love it... you don't need words to say: I'm in heaven!
I'm Dutch and I've been living in Peru since 1,5 years... man I miss some of the Dutch food 😋
Enserio? 5€ for a syrup waffle? You've been robbed here haha, that's really a tourist price. They do the same here in Peru, overcharging tourists.
They went to Amsterdam, prices there are extreme compared to the rest of the country
Dat zijn tegenwoordig de normale prijzen in Nederland 😢 je betaald voor echte hagelslag al bijna 5 euro per pak,
Fresh white bread from the bakery, room temperature roomboter and pure hagelslag...yummie. A treat but normally we eat brown or fullcorn bread , that is at my place . Try hachee with red cabbage and apples next. Traditional stew.
Try ROTI .. not dutch.. but we eat it a lot. ❤️roti❤️roti❤️roti❤️... and our Dutch prime minister takes out world leaders to dutch Indonesian restaurant for a rice table.. different small Indonesian dishes.
Fantastic channel chef. This is the best culinary content I ever seen!!!!!
Yes, it is Lecker in Deutch und Lekker in The Netherlands :)
That old building next to the cheese tasting shop is The Netherlands oldest still working movie theater. And in 2021 it was chosen as the most beautiful movie theater in the world.
I just came across your channel today. I saw how you made the bread with hagelslag. Maybe someone allready told you but you need the soft butter to spread on the bread. I am really enjoying your videos.
Get roti, pannenkoeken and frikandelen. And (i didn't believe my ears that you cant get this in Germany) get sate and pindasaus.
As a Dutch citizen, I really hope you enjoyed our Dutch food, also an amazing video
pindakaas with choco hagelslag is the best.
Vla is for dessert, eating.
Would you ever dip your hagelslag into a Vla? 🤔
@@DeanaandPhil You can put hagelslag on every desert, trust me... I did it a lot as a kid.😁
@@DeanaandPhil Nope, we Dutch don't do that, you just buy chocolate vla.
13:19 I use “tijgerbrood or volkoren brood” and as butter I use “halvarine”. I prefer milk chocolate hagelslag, but dark chocolate (puur) can also be nice, or the mixed hagelslag.
