For me Dutch breakfast was always about being able to pick from of lots of things to put on a variety of breads, even sprinkles. Different cheeses, hams, different sausage slices, egg, jam, marmelade, chocolate paste, sandwhich spread. The one nice thing about Dutch breakfast is not the sprinkles, but whatever you feel like eating on bread or crackers that morning.
Yes correct, when I was a small child of about 5-6 years old I was always switching between hagelslag and pindakaas, but I haven't had hagelslag in many decades. Hagelslag in my opinion is for pre-teenage children, but other people think otherwise.
I'm Dutch, but my menu never looked like that. If you consider a 2nd round a traditional Dutch food day is more like this: Breakfast: white bread usually is considered a treat, brown bread or "beschuit" is the staple. Most parents teach their children to eat at least one savory topping for each sweet topping on bread. Other toppings than "hagelslag" can be cheese (of course), different kinds of meats, peanut butter, jam or marmalade. All washed down with a glass of milk, butter milk or thea. 10 o'clock snack: coffee with cake, a cookie or a slice of "ontbijtkoek" (ginger bread) or "Fries suikerbrood" with butter. Others will eat a piece of fruit like an apple or an orange. Lunch: definitely not a kapsalon (that is more a hangover food). An "uitsmijter" would be an option.Other possibilities are a "krentenbol met kaas" or other bunns with a warm or cold savory topping (kroket, gehaktbal or fish), a "tosti" or pancakes and maybe a soup. Afternoon snack: thea (or coffee) with a cookie or a piece of pie (apple pie, tompouce, vlaai or regional delights like Bosche bol or Zeeuwse bolus). Dinner: I've eaten many stampots in my life, but I would pass on the one shown here. There was so much gravy it almost looked like a soup. And if you want to try another stamppot, try "hete bliksem" (hot lightning). For late night snacks all fried food will do. And as for curry sauce with our fries, it's always combined with frietsaus and onions (speciaal). Another option is "oorlog" (sateh sauce with frietsaus and onions). Mayonnaise is not used in the Netherlands anymore because the amount of fat that is required by law to call it mayonnaise; we use frietsaus instead.
Great video! Laughed out loud when Katrina gave Nate his cheese fixes. Protip: never buy the cheapest bread Albert Heijn has. Go to a proper 'bakker' for your bread. These good people get up extremely early every morning to provide customers with delicious fresh, crisp bread of different types, most of them very Dutch. Who knows, a Dutch bakery might even be a good subject for a future video. We do kind of have a bread culture. Keep 'em coming!
Always happy to see people from less fortunate places getting a proper meal :P Hagelslag is not sprinkles, sprinkles are awful sugary decoration thingies, Hagelslag is something you can actually enjoy. Be it on bread, on cake, as coating for a delicious Chocolate Truffel or just straight pouring it out of the package into the mouth.. Tip for a warm summers day. When you go to work make a few sandwiches with Hagelslag. Put it in a sandwich bag (you know, the small plastic bags slightly bigger than a slice of bread) and just take it to work. When lunchtime arives, the chocolate should be melted and soaked into the bread. Absolute the best sanwich you ever had. Also works with fruit hagelslag. The best hagelslag for me are those of "De Ruyter" in their "speciaal" and "royaal" lines. White Chocolade is not chocolade btw. Stroopwafel: She said it correctly,. It is one cookie (wafer) cut in the middle and filled with syrup. They are not two wafers pressed together. And yes, icecream cones (or Oublie hoorn in Dutch) are made from the same type of dough. Just slightly different tartios of sugars and (lack of) spices. Drop: Millions is obviously a bit over the top but currently there are an estimated 400 to 500 different types of Drop available in the Netherlands.About a fifth of those can be found in supermarkets and such, for the rest you need specialty stores. McD's: Not sure if they still sell them but they used to have the McKroket which would have enabled you to eat "Dutch" at McD's Please be careful giving your dog aged cheese, they tend to be saltier than Jong and Jong Belegen and can give your dog kidney issues. They also have issues breaking down milksugars (lactose intolerance) Not saying this to you specifically but to those people that emulate anything they see on youtube and tiktok and such. Kapsalon: Best invention since the bicycle, I am bothered by the dismissal of the greens... they are part of the Kapsalon. And those bottles on the table are there for a reason.. the contents is supposed to go on top of the sla, one is hot sauce/sambal, the other one probably Aadalouse sauce. they will turn the boring sla into a delicious integral part of the Kapsalon. If the yellow bottle contains no Andalouse, I am disappointed in that place. Please don't call Friet/Patat/Patat Friet "French Fries", they are not "French Fries", they are Dutch fries. French fries are bleh, Dutch (and Flemish) fries are the only fries that matter. any Dutch Snackbar/Cafetaria selling french fries as Patat/Friet/Patat Friet (totally depending on region) should be forced to move to another country with less standards. I am old, currysauce is not where you want to be, especially not on it's own (as part of the Speciaal... meh.. if you isnist) The best versions are Speciaal (old school= Ketchup/Mayo/Onion, Modern is Curry/Mayo/Onion. So yes Katrina, I am obviously old school so very much on team Ketchup, a hill I am prepared to die on), Oorlog = Peanutsauce/Mayo/Onions (onions are optional) and finally Patatje Stoofvlees (beef stew fries). Sadly that one isn't available everywhere. STOP CALLING THEM FRENCH AAAAARGH :P You really have to love cheese to commit to that bit lol. 14:59 Hey man, you didn't butcher the ij, that is a win. I give the pronunciation an 8 out of 10 wait... you can make money by making stamppotten? Amazing. iIt is like the cheapest thing you can make, the owners are laughing all the way to the bank every day. Great video, enjoyed this very much. As it is the first I ever saw from your channel it is a great first impression so I guess I am forced to sub and like.
They do - but we are pretty sure that the Dutch people around us also ordered stamppot and looked like they were so relieved that they did not have to cook it themselves. 🤗
@@dinahselah6364 I'm also Dutch and here in the local restaurants stampot is on the menu, and yes the locals also order that, here it's not that only toerists order that in the local restaurants. Dus het word hier ook gewoon volop door de dorpelingen gegeten in de locale restaurants, ik denk zelfs dat je weinig toeristen in die restaurantjes tegen zal komen, die weten de locale restaurantjes vaak niet eens te vinden.

Bread is like the bottom of a pizza: it will make or break the food. Don't get cheap on it, don't buy bread at the supermarket. Find a good bakery, it is SOOO much better.
Oh nooooo! 😱 When the cheese-soufflé junkie and the Old Amsterdam cheesehead discover the Old Amsterdam bitterballen and they also go in the Airfryer, there's no way back! 🤷♂️🤪✌🏼
@@pietergreveling Personally would never go for old amsterdam cheese, if you want real Dutch cheese you got to a farm where they sell theire own cheese from the cows.
You should also try a slice of Fries suikerbrood (Frisian sugar bread) with butter! The loaf should be very sticky on the outside and they sell a pretty good one at AH! 😋✌🏼
The best way to eat hagelslag or vlokken is to eat them on brown bread with a knife and fork. Just cut out little pieces of the slice of bread, put your fork in on of the pieces and then put it in your mouth. That way you will not make a mess.
@@nateandkatrinadotheworld oke yes, I mean a other white bread you can use also ...than the kind you are using in the video, has a dry and bad taste...imo
The only times I buy square white bread it's for either a "tosti" (grilled ham/cheese sandwich). an "uitsmijter" (fried egg sandwich, usually with ham or cheese beneath the eggs), or another egg-based sandwich (omelette of scrambled eggs)
Great video. Your pronunciation of 't Heemelrijck was pretty good. I wouldn't complain as a dutch guy. But I have to ask, were you guys okay the day after filming this video? Or did you film it over three separate days? Because for lunch, afternoon snack and dinner, you chose three meals that I could classify in the dinner category. Well, the french fries with a single snack could be lunch, but it is still a meal, not something I would get for an afternoon snack though. The stroopwafel or drop is more for the afternoon snack. Some advice with curry. Personally I like it, but I do find the taste a bit to strong. I often would mix it with Frietsaus to soften the taste a bit. The reason why dutch people don''t put ketchup on their fries, probably has to do with that ketchup is mostly associated with Italian food like macaroni or spaghetti.
I am Dutch and don't eat 90% of the stuff you show. Roggenbrood (ryebread) , oats, musli, yoghurt, brown bread with cheese, mashed potato with raw kale etc. There are many healthy Dutch options. Also if you eat hagelslag it should be pure for stronger taste ;) PS I ate Dutch stroopwaffel which was served on an American plane!
The first 5 things you mentioned aren't dutch lmao. Dutch food is the fried snacks, stroopeaffles, hageslag and stampot of varrying kinds. We don't have a ton of oir own food because we adopted food from other places a lot.
When you're in the Netherlands, always remember: always eat your breakfast with brown bread with butter and Hagelslag. A sweaty brown sandwich with butter and cheese for lunch on hot days are amazing. And uhh... PANCAKES ARE DINNER! 💀
For me, Stroopwaffels and black liquorice might actually be on diametric opposites of the scale. Stroppwaffels are divine but don't have words for how minging black liquorice is.
Just a question: why did you move to The Netherlands? Just straight from the shoulder, like the Dutch. The windmills, the tulips, the cheese, the clogs, the bitterballen, the stroopwafels? Suspicious. As far as I can see, you can do the same things where you came from.
Didn't know you have a Labrador. What a beauty 😍😍 Question to you guys because you have a dog, Do you notice, the Netherlands is the most friendly country for dogs? The Netherlands is only country without stray dogs. Maybe you can make a video about it how your experience is.😊
No self-respecting Dutchie would eat that square Casino "bread", the only time we would use it is for making a Tostie and even then we try to avoid it and use real bread! 😬 I never eat toast with Hagelslag, if i wanna have chocolate on warm toast i use Chocoladepasta, Hazelnootpasta (Hazelnut spread) or Nutella, it's much beter and the hagelslag is for the crunch, not for melting. 😉 If you wanna have a good Dutch lunch, you should try a 12 Uurtje (12 O'clock)! 👍🏻 An 12 Uurtje are three slices of bread with butter, one slice with ham, cheese and a fried egg sunny side up (Spiegelei), one with a scoop of Russian salad (Huzarensalade) and one with a Croquette and mustard! 😋 And the good ones also serve it with a small cup of soup! 👌🏼 By the way, with this diet you won't get any taller, only wider! 🙄🤭 Fun fact; French toast is called Wentelteefje in Dutch and literally translated into English it means Small-Turning-Bitch (Wentel-Teef-Je)! 🤪🤣 So you didn't really fail! ✌🏼
We had both growing up in Canada with pure dutch parents chocolate and the pink ones, i also would put Speculassje cookies in between two slices of white bread as a sandwich. Stroppe waffles we still buy and i am in my 60's. My kids loved them as the chocolate hail on bread. I couldn't do the double salt licorice, still to this day. We grew up with soup for every meal, my Mom made the best dutch soup and it was a staple in our home throughout the year even in our hot Canadian summers. We also never had cheddar cheese in our home it was always Gouda cheese, and i love it, i don't buy it too much now because of the cost. But it is hands down my favourite cheese. Mom always had beschuit in the house its like round toast bread and she would put gouda cheese and chocolate hagelslag on it. Frites met is the best with the dutch mayo and bitter balls and croquettes with mustard, i miss those for sure. We also had stampot with sausage on top in the winter. Oh you are killing me with all these dutch things and looking at the menu. Mom also made her famous red cabbage in a sweet and sour sauce
It’s really fun to see your ‘struggles’. Of course y’all know, the food in Holland has much more and healthier variations. What you had for breakfast, snacks, lunch and so on is like going to a fast food restaurant. Like me when I’m in the USA, I won’t go to the fast food stores, never ever. So try the real Dutch cuisine, it’ll suprise you!
I'm Dutch, but I had never heard of kapsalon, which means that it's a recent invention as I was living abroad. The snacks are not snacks but candy, but I think you know that, 😂 kroket might have been better. (Oh, you did that next. Bitterballen is party food!)
It was invented in Rotterdam Delfshaven a few decades ago. It's a whole meal (1800 calories), so you shouldn't eat it for lunch. It has become very popular fast and is spreading to many countries with close ties to the Netherlands.
Old Amsterdam cheese is... a bit fake. It isn't an old brand and if I understood correctly they age the cheese artificially (i.e. not by just letting it ripen of a shelf)
I am Dutch and I wonder why the USA has so many very overweight people if your food is so healthy. All those steaks and fastfood..... And did you know we all live in windmills and walk on wooden shoes? 😂
I have never seen a Dutch person order a stampot in a restaurant. Most Dutch people eat a lot of international food; both when going out and at home. Our own cuisine is - as you'd say in Dutch - not something to write home about.
Dan heb je nooit in een echt local Restaurant gegeten zeker daar hebben ze vaak dagstampotten en daar zitten over het algemeen dorpelingen te eten dus gewoon Nederlanders die daar stampot eten.
@@nateandkatrinadotheworldYes you can be right, because here the locals eat in the local restaurants and there is mostly also stampot on the menu. I have to say most stamppots are only eaten in winter.
I like your style of vlogging 👍👍and i am surprised you liked the stamppot zuurkool, bc it has a bit of extreme taste, I guess. Maybe you could take it to a more extreme level, like trying haring, bloedworst, karnemelk, nagelkaar, hachee, hete bliksem, kwark, spruitjes, zure zult. All topical Dutch...😂
Lol, I used to live there in the neighborhood. The snackbar across the street from where you were eating has way better fries. Like way better! Oh wait, you just told that, hahahaha! Yes I am typing this while watching.
My favorite hagelslag is puur. Tijger bread instead of basic white. I used to toast it but I was told by Dutchies I was doing it wrong. I really thought it should be warm to melt the sprinkles a bit, but after having it the Dutch way with cold butter and soft bread, I have never looked back. They know how to do it!
9:39 - "You don't put lettuce or tomato on your burgers either". What, what? Who doesn't do that? Oh yeah, the guy that actually eats black licorice. 🤣
hmm most people eat the standard things from the dutch food, but i never see them eat things like: limburgse zuurvlees,groninger mosterdsoep zeeuwse bolus or other regional dishes (exept kruutmoes because that looks like vomit) maybe a idea to try that things for once. as desert you can eat haagse bluf and as little snacks things like Arnhemse meisjes, dikkoek or friese dumkes
Hoop dat jullie dit kunnen vertalen 😉 Mijn echte nederlandse ontbijt zou zijn een beschuitje met hagelsag of kaas of jam. Een beschuitje is ook iets typisch Nederlands. En dan een goed glas melk erbij of een yoghurtdrink. Lunch dan wel iets van een broodje maar dan voorgesmeerd met een dun laagje boter en dan kass of een vleeswaren of inderdaad een hagelslag of vlokken of pindakaas en dan een ander broodje er boven op en dan doormidden gesneden. Avond eten wat inderdaad echt Nederlands is is een stamppot of een simpele AVG (Aardappel, Vlees (vleesvervanger), Groente) De tussendoortjes zat ik ook nog aan de sultana en liga koekjes te denken. Vooral de vierkante liga met rozijnen/krenten of die vierkante met melk in het midden (goedkope versies hebben ze vaak in het rond)(de nederlanders weten denk ik wel welke ik bedoel).
@@nateandkatrinadotheworld I guess. I mentioned it because a number of my Dutch friends and neighbors had it on their breakfast table. I grew to treasure it.
So glad i found this channel😊love the vibe ☀️been to Amsterdam 6 times..not once have i seen those sprinkles on bread lol is it a kids breakfast? I remember continental breakfast stuff,febo i remember the first night i got a really spicy kebab on warmoestraat warmed me up❄️ wonder if its still there
nice video guys next time try a fricandel speciaal and a bereklauw pinda real dutch snackfood and you can order at almost every snackbar patat speciaal with curry or ketchup you have to tell them wat you want
Great video! I had lots of fun watching this. I feel like this was a bit more pre-prepared and scripted? But that is a good thing. All the different outfits tells this was not shot in one day. I loooooove the blue 't IJ sweater in the first minutes. "Cheese Me" is not something I'm going to get out of my mind soon. Our small country doesn't have a rich culinary history and our menu's are influenced by many other countries. Sometimes they occupied us, sometimes we colonized them. I can recommend an Indonesian Rijsttafel. It is both Indonesian and Dutch. But hey, cudos to the both of you ordering things you would not order normally but you do it anyway just for us, your followers your believers. Keep it up! 👍👍👍
You visit a restaurant named Sinbad… where in your mind does that not tell you the food aint Dutch? If that name does not ring a bell look at the tiles… they are anything but Dutch and so is the food..
You guys are so funny, you're video always make me laugh Love it ...and i only eat ketchup on my fries, i prefer ketchup over Mayo, patatje oorlog, or curry
I would have liked to see more proper traditional Dutch meals. The sort of thing someone's grandma would have cooked on a Sunday rather than confectionary & chips. The Dutch wouldn't live long with that amount of sugar & virtually no veg.
If you want something real dutch , you can try , salt haring , or real dutch , harde worst . The bottled baked haring in zuur is also perfect but is only in volendam fresh in bottle , most dutch dont eat it anymore , a good dutch junkfood is , frikandel speciaal , kroket or bitterballen . Lol I was in amerika in 2005 , i loved american food much more than dutch food , american food is more tasty and much bigger portions
Most of this is not true, I'm dutch, and I never eat sweet things at breakfast. Maybe some kids do, and my daughters also never eat sweets at breakfast. The rest of what I saw in this report is "NOT TYPICAL DUTCH".
It all so not representative, sprinkles is for kids, fries and kibbling for a weekend treat and stamppot never in a restaurant but only home made as a winter dish. More normal Dutch food day? Breakfast: whole bread with cheese, jam, peanut butter or porisch, lunch whole bread with cheese, jam or some kind of cold cut and dinner potatoes, vegetables and meat. Snacks. An apple and maybe a simpel cookie. But I do understand this is much to boring to show on TH-cam.
For me Dutch breakfast was always about being able to pick from of lots of things to put on a variety of breads, even sprinkles. Different cheeses, hams, different sausage slices, egg, jam, marmelade, chocolate paste, sandwhich spread. The one nice thing about Dutch breakfast is not the sprinkles, but whatever you feel like eating on bread or crackers that morning.

Belgian sauces, including mayonaisses are better. They innovated the whole sauce business in the last 50 years.
I am Dutch and don't eat 90% of the stuff you show. Roggenbrood (ryebread) , oats, musli, yoghurt, brown bread with cheese, mashed potato with raw kale etc. There are many healthy Dutch options. Also if you eat hagelslag it should be pure for stronger taste ;) PS I ate Dutch stroopwaffel which was served on an American plane!
The first 5 things you mentioned aren't dutch lmao. Dutch food is the fried snacks, stroopeaffles, hageslag and stampot of varrying kinds. We don't have a ton of oir own food because we adopted food from other places a lot.
When you're in the Netherlands, always remember: always eat your breakfast with brown bread with butter and Hagelslag. A sweaty brown sandwich with butter and cheese for lunch on hot days are amazing. And uhh... PANCAKES ARE DINNER! 💀
Carbs on carbs on carbs. Yummmmm!
@@nateandkatrinadotheworld dutch cheese halfway melted on a sandwich is life 😂
I' am Dutch and not even I would attempt this.
We are here to do the hard work for you. 😂 Thanks for watching!
For me, Stroopwaffels and black liquorice might actually be on diametric opposites of the scale. Stroppwaffels are divine but don't have words for how minging black liquorice is.
Katrina would 100% agree with you. Thanks for watching!
top Video again, fries goes the best with sate saus, "patatje oorlog " warfries, with sate saus mayo and unions
We feel like every time we eat fries, there’s a new sauce that we have to try! 😂 Thanks for watching!
@@nateandkatrinadotheworld Saté really is good on fries. It's also quit common.
Just a question: why did you move to The Netherlands? Just straight from the shoulder, like the Dutch. The windmills, the tulips, the cheese, the clogs, the bitterballen, the stroopwafels? Suspicious. As far as I can see, you can do the same things where you came from.
Nate’s company asked him to move here and fill a position they were having trouble with. The fresh stroopwafels were just a happy bonus! ✌️
Love you guys! Enjoy - from New York!
Thanks so much!
Didn't know you have a Labrador. What a beauty 😍😍 Question to you guys because you have a dog, Do you notice, the Netherlands is the most friendly country for dogs? The Netherlands is only country without stray dogs. Maybe you can make a video about it how your experience is.😊
Thank you! Our dog is extremely happy here and it is very dog friendly.
No self-respecting Dutchie would eat that square Casino "bread", the only time we would use it is for making a Tostie and even then we try to avoid it and use real bread! 😬
I never eat toast with Hagelslag, if i wanna have chocolate on warm toast i use Chocoladepasta, Hazelnootpasta (Hazelnut spread) or Nutella, it's much beter and the hagelslag is for the crunch, not for melting. 😉
If you wanna have a good Dutch lunch, you should try a 12 Uurtje (12 O'clock)! 👍🏻
An 12 Uurtje are three slices of bread with butter, one slice with ham, cheese and a fried egg sunny side up (Spiegelei), one with a scoop of Russian salad (Huzarensalade) and one with a Croquette and mustard! 😋 And the good ones also serve it with a small cup of soup! 👌🏼
By the way, with this diet you won't get any taller, only wider! 🙄🤭
Fun fact; French toast is called Wentelteefje in Dutch and literally translated into English it means Small-Turning-Bitch (Wentel-Teef-Je)! 🤪🤣
So you didn't really fail! ✌🏼
Awesome - thanks for watching!
We had both growing up in Canada with pure dutch parents chocolate and the pink ones, i also would put Speculassje cookies in between two slices of white bread as a sandwich. Stroppe waffles we still buy and i am in my 60's. My kids loved them as the chocolate hail on bread. I couldn't do the double salt licorice, still to this day. We grew up with soup for every meal, my Mom made the best dutch soup and it was a staple in our home throughout the year even in our hot Canadian summers. We also never had cheddar cheese in our home it was always Gouda cheese, and i love it, i don't buy it too much now because of the cost. But it is hands down my favourite cheese. Mom always had beschuit in the house its like round toast bread and she would put gouda cheese and chocolate hagelslag on it. Frites met is the best with the dutch mayo and bitter balls and croquettes with mustard, i miss those for sure. We also had stampot with sausage on top in the winter. Oh you are killing me with all these dutch things and looking at the menu. Mom also made her famous red cabbage in a sweet and sour sauce
Only Kapsalon should be enough calories for one day 😂
No kidding - hence the sharing of the kapsalon. 😂
Breakfast brown bread and cheese.
Yum! 😋
That bag of shredded cheese! 😂 "cheese me!" 😂 I love your video's. I enjoy watching them so much. Thank you for making them❤
It’s really fun to see your ‘struggles’. Of course y’all know, the food in Holland has much more and healthier variations.
What you had for breakfast, snacks, lunch and so on is like going to a fast food restaurant.
Like me when I’m in the USA, I won’t go to the fast food stores, never ever.
So try the real Dutch cuisine, it’ll suprise you!
You need to fold your boterham so the hagelslag stays inside. Also handy when you're running late, you can just take your folded boterham and go.
I'm Dutch, but I had never heard of kapsalon, which means that it's a recent invention as I was living abroad. The snacks are not snacks but candy, but I think you know that, 😂 kroket might have been better. (Oh, you did that next. Bitterballen is party food!)
It was invented in Rotterdam Delfshaven a few decades ago. It's a whole meal (1800 calories), so you shouldn't eat it for lunch. It has become very popular fast and is spreading to many countries with close ties to the Netherlands.
The stick to your ribs meal was the "kapsalon!".
Correct. 👍
Tbh you can not compare the american mayo with the dutch one, yours is more sour then ours.
We will pass on both of them. 😂
Old Amsterdam cheese is... a bit fake. It isn't an old brand and if I understood correctly they age the cheese artificially (i.e. not by just letting it ripen of a shelf)
Yes, that's true. It's not old cheese. They use an additive that speeds up the ripening. It's also not Amsterdammer cheese... it's a Gouda cheese.
Still pretty darn tasty if you ask us! ✌🏻
Yum! 😋
I am Dutch and I wonder why the USA has so many very overweight people if your food is so healthy. All those steaks and fastfood..... And did you know we all live in windmills and walk on wooden shoes? 😂
I have never seen a Dutch person order a stampot in a restaurant. Most Dutch people eat a lot of international food; both when going out and at home. Our own cuisine is - as you'd say in Dutch - not something to write home about.
"stampot"
Me neither.
I did order a stamppot once though.
🤭
Pretty sure there were Dutch people in the restaurant eating stamppot and they seemed to be enjoying themselves. Thanks for watching! 🙌🏻
Dan heb je nooit in een echt local Restaurant gegeten zeker daar hebben ze vaak dagstampotten en daar zitten over het algemeen dorpelingen te eten dus gewoon Nederlanders die daar stampot eten.
@@nateandkatrinadotheworldYes you can be right, because here the locals eat in the local restaurants and there is mostly also stampot on the menu. I have to say most stamppots are only eaten in winter.
Friet met mayonaise > Curry, ketchup, Pindasaus, stoofvlees and all other combinations :D.
Next time try Surinamese food
Next time!
Am glad you both survived 😁
Phew. It was touch and go there for a minute. 😜
I like your style of vlogging 👍👍and i am surprised you liked the stamppot zuurkool, bc it has a bit of extreme taste, I guess. Maybe you could take it to a more extreme level, like trying haring, bloedworst, karnemelk, nagelkaar, hachee, hete bliksem, kwark, spruitjes, zure zult. All topical Dutch...😂
Thanks for the compliment and for watching! It’s going to be a while before we can think about “extreme” Dutch cuisine. 😂😂
You need to eat the bitterbals with mustard. ;)
Lol, I used to live there in the neighborhood. The snackbar across the street from where you were eating has way better fries. Like way better! Oh wait, you just told that, hahahaha! Yes I am typing this while watching.
Haha! Thanks for watching!
My favorite hagelslag is puur. Tijger bread instead of basic white. I used to toast it but I was told by Dutchies I was doing it wrong. I really thought it should be warm to melt the sprinkles a bit, but after having it the Dutch way with cold butter and soft bread, I have never looked back. They know how to do it!
Everyone seems to have their own preference when it comes to the “proper” way to prepare your hagelslag. 🤷🏼♀️ To each their own!
9:39 - "You don't put lettuce or tomato on your burgers either". What, what? Who doesn't do that? Oh yeah, the guy that actually eats black licorice. 🤣
Nate had a very “refined” palate. 😂😂
Wow, you are the first foreigner on TH-cam who likes drop 👍
Thesis really not what we Dutch eat today. It gives a wrong impression of the Dutch. Not realistic
Thanks for watching and the feedback! 👍🏻
Love Amsterdam and especially the fritjes!!!!! Blessings and happy thoughts!🤳😇🙏⛲🌈👍🎭🙆
milk chocolate flakes on a , I don't know the English word but in Dutch it's called beschuit.
We like those! They don’t really translate to English… it’s like a pre-toasted toast!
hmm most people eat the standard things from the dutch food, but i never see them eat things like: limburgse zuurvlees,groninger mosterdsoep zeeuwse bolus or other regional dishes (exept kruutmoes because that looks like vomit) maybe a idea to try that things for once. as desert you can eat haagse bluf and as little snacks things like Arnhemse meisjes, dikkoek or friese dumkes
Hoop dat jullie dit kunnen vertalen 😉
Mijn echte nederlandse ontbijt zou zijn een beschuitje met hagelsag of kaas of jam. Een beschuitje is ook iets typisch Nederlands. En dan een goed glas melk erbij of een yoghurtdrink.
Lunch dan wel iets van een broodje maar dan voorgesmeerd met een dun laagje boter en dan kass of een vleeswaren of inderdaad een hagelslag of vlokken of pindakaas en dan een ander broodje er boven op en dan doormidden gesneden.
Avond eten wat inderdaad echt Nederlands is is een stamppot of een simpele AVG (Aardappel, Vlees (vleesvervanger), Groente)
De tussendoortjes zat ik ook nog aan de sultana en liga koekjes te denken. Vooral de vierkante liga met rozijnen/krenten of die vierkante met melk in het midden (goedkope versies hebben ze vaak in het rond)(de nederlanders weten denk ik wel welke ik bedoel).
Thanks for the recommendations! 🫶🏻
I never took a liking to those sprinkles.
I do endorse the Dutch love of Nutella, salmon, poffertjes, rijsttafel and 🍺.
Nutella is much more of a German thing.
We like the sprinkles more than we thought we would! 🙊 Thanks for watching!
Isn’t Nutella technically Italian? 🤔
@@nateandkatrinadotheworld I guess. I mentioned it because a number of my Dutch friends and neighbors had it on their breakfast table.
I grew to treasure it.
Iemand Nederland
👇
So glad i found this channel😊love the vibe ☀️been to Amsterdam 6 times..not once have i seen those sprinkles on bread lol is it a kids breakfast? I remember continental breakfast stuff,febo i remember the first night i got a really spicy kebab on warmoestraat warmed me up❄️ wonder if its still there
Welcome aboard!
Wrong bread, its cassino bread, or a tosti bread, put cheese and ham between and than in a tosti apparate
Effe een kapsalon als lunch, moet kunnen!
Zij hebben het gedeeld.
American couple go 24hrs without high-fructose corn syrup, but are still not Dutch enough to bring an umbrella. Thumbs up!
Ha - not using an umbrella actually makes us MORE Dutch. Nobody uses those things here. 😂
Scoop the bitterbal (or a kroket) out with the fries, very nice!
Nice! Thanks for the tip!
love the sweater
Thank you! 😊
nice video guys next time try a fricandel speciaal and a bereklauw pinda real dutch snackfood and you can order at almost every snackbar patat speciaal with curry or ketchup you have to tell them wat you want
Nice! Thanks for the recommendations and for watching!
Great video! I had lots of fun watching this. I feel like this was a bit more pre-prepared and scripted? But that is a good thing. All the different outfits tells this was not shot in one day. I loooooove the blue 't IJ sweater in the first minutes. "Cheese Me" is not something I'm going to get out of my mind soon.
Our small country doesn't have a rich culinary history and our menu's are influenced by many other countries. Sometimes they occupied us, sometimes we colonized them. I can recommend an Indonesian Rijsttafel. It is both Indonesian and Dutch. But hey, cudos to the both of you ordering things you would not order normally but you do it anyway just for us, your followers your believers. Keep it up! 👍👍👍
Thanks for watching, Jan! I don’t think Nate is going to eat cheese again for a while. 😂
As a dutchman stampot is my favorite food approved
It looks peaceful there.
Every channel uses hagelslag etc for breakfast while our typical Dutch meats to put on bread are also very good.
Yes they are. Thanks for watching!
you guys tested Pindasaus already?
Oh my gosh! How are they thin?
Bicycles. 🚴
Good question.
Must have been a tough survival with all the actually safe to eat food 😅
i eat my 'friet' with mayo, mayo/curry, mayo/satesaus, mayo/goulash or mayo/stoofvlees, yes always mayo 😄(and never ketchup)
Agree to disagree! #teamketchup Thanks for watching!
No Dutch people, I know of eat white bread from the supermarket.
Hmmmm... somebody must be! Thanks for watching!
You visit a restaurant named Sinbad… where in your mind does that not tell you the food aint Dutch? If that name does not ring a bell look at the tiles… they are anything but Dutch and so is the food..
You need to get your fries with Satesaus, much better than curry or ketchup
You guys are so funny, you're video always make me laugh Love it ...and i only eat ketchup on my fries, i prefer ketchup over Mayo, patatje oorlog, or curry
Thank you! #teamketchup all the way! 💪🏻
Ketchup just tastes horrible...
Joppie sauce is my go to on fries if they have it. Otherwise "Oorlog" (peanut sauce + mayonnaise + onions). 😋
As immigrants you try Dutch food. That’s great, but don’t eat our cats and dogs please !!! Hahahahaha
Haha. We just pet the cats and dogs. ✌️
Try BROODJE rookworst and GEBAKKEN Mosselen 😮😅😊
Fries=friet/patat the thin fries are called francs fries and it’s from france
K love u bye❤
13:00 try pindasaus, it's the best!
No white bread here, only whole wheat bread.
edit: you two fit in the category "prettig gestoord"
they forgot the "Gestampte Muisjes" (Crushed Mouse)
so you're not a documentary channel or a Dutch PBS affiliate, lol, now it makes sense.
I can tell you, lots of food in America are forbidden in Europe. Want to know why? You can find all the information on TH-cam ✌️🇳🇱
I would have liked to see more proper traditional Dutch meals. The sort of thing someone's grandma would have cooked on a Sunday rather than confectionary & chips. The Dutch wouldn't live long with that amount of sugar & virtually no veg.
If you know a Dutch grandma that would like to cook us meals for 24 hours, we are all ears. ;)
If you want something real dutch , you can try , salt haring , or real dutch , harde worst .
The bottled baked haring in zuur is also perfect but is only in volendam fresh in bottle , most dutch dont eat it anymore , a good dutch junkfood is , frikandel speciaal , kroket or bitterballen . Lol
I was in amerika in 2005 , i loved american food much more than dutch food , american food is more tasty and much bigger portions
Bitterballen are so delicious! You're only Dutch if you like bitterballen😂
This was not the ultimate test. You did not try the Dutch haring.......
That's a test that we would fail.
2:28 i always fold my bread so the toppings dont fall off😅
It just kind of makes sense! Thanks for watching!
You live in the bos en lommer neighbourhood in Amsterdam?
We are close to Olympic Stadium.
@@nateandkatrinadotheworldalright near mina Kruzeman Street maybe? I was born and raised in Amsterdam but I'm away for more than 35 years
With all that chocolate it probably still has less sugar in it then american bread
Bitterballen must be eaten with good mustard!
Yes and its fun to see if they put a whole bitterbal at once in theorie mouth without to let it cool down. You should film that , so funny 😅
You two sure can eat a lot.
Now, that’s not breakfast for me, some nice fresh or toasted whole meal bread with real butter or not and some nice tasty cheese on it. So much better
Mmmmmmm.
Bitterballen? Why not Frikandel? You normally order bitterballen as a “borrel” snack.
This was our borrel snack for the day. We had to limit all of the things that we were ordering. Thanks for watching.
Haha lekker hoor
If you are americans than you should not complain of dutch food. Never in my life gave I had such gruesome food as in the USA.
Please call it patat, or fries. Not "french" fries. French fries are what we have at mc donald. They are thinner then our patat.
Most of this is not true, I'm dutch, and I never eat sweet things at breakfast. Maybe some kids do, and my daughters also never eat sweets at breakfast. The rest of what I saw in this report is "NOT TYPICAL DUTCH".
✌️
Next time wen you order fries ask for a special whit curry that's the best way to eat and yea were not a big fan of ketchup XD
Next time! Thanks for watching!
It all so not representative, sprinkles is for kids, fries and kibbling for a weekend treat and stamppot never in a restaurant but only home made as a winter dish. More normal Dutch food day? Breakfast: whole bread with cheese, jam, peanut butter or porisch, lunch whole bread with cheese, jam or some kind of cold cut and dinner potatoes, vegetables and meat. Snacks. An apple and maybe a simpel cookie. But I do understand this is much to boring to show on TH-cam.
Frietje oorlog. ( war ) mayonaise and satésaus. That's the way
To each their own!
