First
Kibbeling and I love Boerenkoolstampot
Next time try a frikandel speciaal
Heh. My favorite Dutch dishes are Indonesian and Turkish food. :D
Hmmm I really love "paling in 't groen" (eal with green herbs)
As King of the country you visited, I can inform you that most of the time I hate the luxury food I get served. I usually just get a big bag of fries and a kroket. And beer. Especially on my birthday, the whole country drinks beer and dresses up in orange. I love it.
Meneer Alexander bent u de echte Willem-Alexander? En ik dacht u houd juist van zulk eten maar een zak frite van de febo en een kaassoufle is nie tslecht hoor :}
@@Gameboi_Elite Tuurlijk is het de echte
So so, je bent wel een goeie koning😅 Vanaf nu eten we met Koningsdag kroket met friet en bier maar voor de kinderen appelsap.😊
gaaaaast 😂
@@Bestie_loveya nee voor de kinderen cola maar dan cola die daadwerkelijk effect heeft (grammetje coke erin)
You guys missed Poffertjes, Pannencoeken, Stroopwafels, Hageslag, Onbijtkoek and Chocomel🥹😉guess you have to come back again😂🤷🏼♀️
What is Honingkuchen? I'm Dutch, but I've never heard of it. To me, it's not something typically Dutch
@@anneliesS04 Yeah he threw a German word lol
KAPSALON
@@anneliesS04 Honingwafels?
@@anneliesS04 ontbijtkoek met honing. moest het ook even googlen
It's so interesting to me that Deana says apple pie feels like summer. As a Dutchie I usually associate it with fall and winter, paired with a nice hot chocolate and whipped cream on both. I'd also like to mention that Dutch appeltaart is commonly served on birthdays instead of a cake, or alongside cake (depending on how many people you've got coming over)
Because the goudrenet is a late apple, and apple pie I count as (warm) comfort food. No whipcream on my apple pie though.
yes apple pie is often considered a good addition to up the portions if its needed for a birthday
I'm from California and Apple Pie is also a fall/winter dessert in America. Usually during our holidays (Thanksgiving & Christmas). Sometimes we put ice cream on top of our apple pie, called "apple pie a la mode". But it's a dessert for any season out here.
Zo waar
NO apple ever grew in summer lol, besides its the dutch who brought apples to america (american as apple pie you say, well thats explains how americas most famous city is dutch)
As an dutch person I really love that people visit the Netherlands
i want to move there kind of. I am sick of the car-loving Germany. but as a vegan the food there doesn't attract me.
It’s so strange seeing people get so hyped over everyday things in the Netherlands as a Dutch person. Hopelijk hebben jullie genoten Van ons eten :)
Gurll waar woon jij im hoorm
Das geen eten dat zijn snacks!
@@sjefhendrickx2257 Inderdaad! Waar is die hutspot dan? Of een potje snert met roggebrood en katenspek! Niet eensch een Hollands biefstukje met brood om te dippen... For shame!
Hi. I'm Dutch and most people eat Kibbeling without chips. The same type of fish but not in pieces, we call Lekkerbekje. In small chunks it's called Kibbeling. In a Lekkerbek there can be fish bones. They are not in Kibbeling. Glad you liked our food ☺️ greetings from Alblasserdam, NL
Kroketten are usually a bit more chewie. The filling in Bitterballen is usually softer
Kibbeling and lekkerbekje should be the same fish(Whiting or Merling) but sometimes they use cheaper fish.
He een dorpsgenootje 🙋🏻♀️ ik ben ook alblasserdams.. haha Gaat niets boven de kibbeling van hoek 🤤
@@RJA6508 they always use cod for lekkerbekjes and pollock for kibbeling pollock is cheaper but not qualified for lekkerbekkjes
@@basvandervecht You think it's cod when you order a lekkerbek but trust me when I tell you it's more often than not something else.
My Dutch heart skipt a beat when he said 'a deep fried hotdog'
I feel you. Who eats a breaded frikandel? Never even seen one.
@tpmm1 me either I thought it was a kipkorn
😂😂😂 is een frikandel dom wijf 🤣
The bitterballen and kroketten are basically the same, just a different shape. As for the filling there are a few types. Mostly varying in the ratio of meat vs gagout. The bitterballen you tried were more of the ragout type while the kroket was more a beef - kroket (far less ragout)
yes you need to try Van Dobben or Kwekkeboom.
Yes animal suffering meat!
@@petertamerus4320 plants are suffering to, when you eat them
Euhm thats not totally true. The ragout inside of a bitterbal is different than that inside of a kroket my boy
Girl. You will never get sick of bitterballen and kroketten:) You can wake me up in the middle of the night for those. I had a friend in Germany who always got a kaassoufle as soon as she crossed the border when she visited. I hope you enjoyed your stay in the Netherlands. Take care!
if you give me bitterballen you can wake me any time of the night!
Agreed! Also, there's different types, so if you did get bored, just try another brand. I really like the kwekkeboom kroketten. And i once had some sort of kerrie (curry?) Kroket which was awesome, but never found that exact flavor again.
I'm a dutch girl. I always go to Germany with my family to buy dutch stuff and food because it's very tasty (and more cheap then in Holland😭). But tho, i'm very happy I live in the Netherlands because there's alot of nice food and alot amusement!
It's nice to see people visiting something else than Amsterdam, and actually my hometown Eindhoven! 😊
Mine too :) They should have tried the plain Frikandel with mayo or the Frikandel Speciaal. Try that next time.
Dacht precies hetzelfde.
I went to Eindhoven today I’m also dutch
@@itallj?
Ye kinda keep forgetting that is in my name
I’ve never seen a “gepaneerde frikandel” before. We Dutch generally eat the regular Frikandel (fried minced meat sausage) with “special” sauce, that’s unions mayonnaise and ketchup or curry. Preferably we cut the frikandel open in the length and fill it up with the sauce. You also missed poffertjes and Dutch pancakes. The Dutch pancakes look a bit like the French one, but heavier and backed with all kinds of ingredients.
We have the "Viandel" but the batter is different.
@@flitsertheo Familiarity is like: Frikandel > viandel > > German style frikandeler > Almost everything else in the world >>>>>> breaded frikandel.
The kibbelingen where originally made from cod cheeks. We Dutchies don't like to waste food so one day one of our Dutch fish vendors thought it was a waste to throw away tho cods head with these chunks of fish meat on the cheeks. He took out the cheeks and after first putting them into batter he used for lekkerbekjes he deep fried them. That's how kibbelingen came to be. Nowadays they mostly make them of chunks of cod filet as there are not enough cod heads available to supply everyone with kibbelingen.
Great to live now.😋
It's nowadays mostly Heekfilet.
About that language thing: i am from the northwestern part of east germany, and one time in the 1990ies we went to the netherlands with the family, and we had a hard time in the supermarket figuring out what to buy. So my granddad started talking in our local dialect (Altmärker Platt) to a woman working there, and they understood each other very well. We were quite astonished about that, but granddad just put it like this: "if you can speak Platt, you can speak everything"
Yes, agree , we speak platt too.
I'm Dutch, live here and part time in Altmark. You are right, Platt Altmarkisch and platt Dutch are very similar.
Platt, Twents, Gronings or Achterhoeks are variants of Saxon. I do understand all of them and Dutch(native) and German.
many Dutch people can understand and follow German quite well, for the Germans Dutch is often difficult
my grand parents are from the Netherlands my Opa would make Kroukets from scratch also worstenbroodje He was a baker man he owned a bakery in Australia my Oma spoke dutch for a long time until she had 2 or 3 kids ended up with 5 learnt more english they were married in Netherlands before coming to Australia we always ate alot of there food tasted amazing dutch stews homemade pantries etc my Opa passed back in 2014 and my Oma passed back in 2015 my Oma sister Aunty Jo shes 90 in February so much great memories growing up lucky to have them around
Frikadellen are usually not with the crispy outside batter, and its often served sliced lengthwise and then filled with raw onion (finely diced) and mayo + (Dutch) curry sauce, called frikadel speciaal.
Fun to see, you should check out the traditional dishes as well. Boerenkool, Hutspot, Poffertjes, Bosche Bol, Oliebollen, Snert and Tompouche
Stroopwafels the best.
They should also try loaded fries and yes... stroopwafels fresh from the market made while you're standing there. The best. Btw the wall with food, the automatiek.... we call it a bite out of the wall. And most of the fried food.. we call it getting a "vette bek halen" (getting a greasy beak)😁
Welcome in the Netherlands! There is a lot more to try!!
Stampot boerenkool, hutspot, stampot rauwe andijvie en snert always gets me through the winter.
@@littleraven28 van vette bek heb ik nog nooit gehoort
It's funny when foreigners refer to Dutch cuisine when talking about the deep fried food. It's basically our junk food.
I'm Dutch and I've literally never heard of a breaded frikandel 😂 frikandel speciaal is probably more 'traditional', and whether to get it with ketchup or curry ketchup is traditionally controversial 🤭
Me neither.
Finally netherlands!! I really like the country, thats why I am learning Dutch (:
Feel free to ask something❤️
@@tkuzu9548 What do you mean with feel free to ask something?
Goodluck luck with learning Dutch :)
@@bestgamting about the languea. If you want to learn some words
@@tkuzu9548 Oh, thank you! I Will ask you if I have questions
When you can please try the fricandel speciaal ( without batter, but with onion ketchup and mayonnaise) and… the fries ( friet or patat) with satésaus. Typical Dutch and so good (it’s based on an indonesian sauce from peanuts) 🥜
They should first be informed about how these fricandels are made. They would probably consider this as not edible.
Better yet Fries with Stoofvlees and Mayonaise.
no ketchup but curry
@@christopheantoine5472 There is nothing disturbing about a frikandel. It's a myth frikandellen are made out of udders, eyes and other waste meat. It's just made of chicken carcass meat.
@@christopheantoine5472 Do you mean the cow eye myth? Do your research first, because that is simply not true. It is made with mechanically separated meat (separatorvlees), which is meat separated from the carcass. No eyes. No organs. So what are you talking about? Maybe you're veg(etari)an, but then I should recommend you do not eat any of our national dishes, because most of them contain meat.
I love Deana's enthusiasm for bitterballen 😊 I don't think we have a great cuisine as a whole but our bitterballen/kroketten are right up there as hearty snacks go.
From what I've seen, dutch food seems similar to german food in style. Many hearty and warming foods, stews, soups and lots of meat. Food to stay warm in a cold and wet winter.
Dude, I love dutch food! Yeah sure bitterballen/kroketten are the absolute best - but there is so much more. Stoofvlees, fritten, let's not even mention the cheese (hands down best in the world), stamppot, pannekoeken... the list goes on. Not gonna lie - the food is one of the major reasons I like to travel to the Netherlands
@@WardancerHB Stroopwafels are now in USA grocery stores.
I was a British student in Groningen years ago. I liked Bitteballen until I learned the ingredients.
yes but I have never paid €6 for a portion of 6 bitterballen! 🤑🤨
I'm a Belgian, but a lot of these Dutch foods are also very common here in this country. Bitterballen, Vleeskroket, Kaassouflé, ... I have all of those at home as well. :) I was watching this video at 3:30am, but it looks so good that I was tempted to make me some midnight snacks. :p
maar wel zonder Satésaus hè 😂
yes sure ANIMAL SUFFERING MEAT!!
@@petertamerus4320 🙄
Dude, you guys even have Joppiesaus that comes from my local cafetaria! PS: Let's agree to call mayonnaise mayo and not zalf, okay?😁
I am spending a week in Einhoven starting Friday. This is perfect, thank you!
Great video! Short factoids: Apple pie as the US knows it actually comes from The Netherlands. The first settlers of then New Netherlands (New Amsterdam as capital) brought it with them. Same goes for coleslaw, pancakes and cookies (koekjes in Dutch). Love to have you back! Maybe Maastricht is a good option next time. It is close to the German border en you can try some excellent local Dutch dishes like Limburgse Vlaai (Pie again). Or Zuurvlees (meat dish) and so many other wonderful things to see and taste in this beautiful city.
Yeah, that's what I suspected. The English have apple pie too, but American apple pie is much more like the Netherlands version. It's been a long time since I've been to the Netherlands, but I remember being kind of surprised that the had pancakes _just like us_ LOL.
The word cookies has a dutch origin, but cookies are actually American. Chocolate chip cookies were invented in New York, US
Cookies were invented over a thousand years ago in Persia actually
It’s the same with almost all typicla ”american” food, it all originates from different parts of Europe.
@@greenmachine5600 lol... no.... cookies are waaaaaaaaaaaaay older than the USA or even the Netherlands.
Nice to see you guys finally in The Netherlands !
We can't wait to see more cities!
@@DeanaandPhil you definitely see the more historic cities in The Netherlands. There is not much historic about Eindhoven.
Nice video ! Your dutch pronunciation is great. My compliments ! Greets from the Netherlands !
So excited you're finally trying Dutch foods! I've just been to Eindhoven last week and I ALWAYS visit Downtown whenever I'm there. I wish I could have seen you, I would have said hi :)
The South Carolina State Fair is happening now. The last day is this Sunday. I now want Bitterballen! Thanks for the great video. 💙
AHHH! If you went eat a fried snickers for us! I'd love for Phil to experience the SC State Fair. I think he'd go into shock.
@@DeanaandPhil I can do that for you. 😀 Fried Oreos are also good. I think Phil would like the fair too. 💙
GREAT to see you in the Netherlands!
Love the video, thanks for sharing the journey. Love you guys stay safe and be well.🙏😊
The horror of using the ravigotte sauce on a bitterbal. Made my stomache turn lol. And i'm dutch. Inside the bitterbal is something called ragout :) It's such a nice snack. The sauce with kibbeling is called ravigotte.
You may be wrong about most people in The Netherlands understanding German. Maybe they do understand it, but speaking German is an entirely different issue. In my job, it get many calls from people from Germany and most of them don't even have the decency to ask whether or not you speak German. Many elderly people don't or refuse to do so, and the younger generations are not interested in learning German because English is far more interesting as far as careers are concerned. No offence to you Phil, but from time to time asking a German to speak English, because you don't speak German, can be hilarious! Btw, why don't Germans try to speak Dutch, the languages are so closely related...
They learn it in school. So yeah they understand german. Germans dont learn dutch in school.
@@XDrakeX1 it doesn’t mean most dutch people actually remember the german they learn in school, with english there’s a lot more exposure with the internet
They dont all learn German im school. Only in the provinces near the German border. On the other hand, Germans on the border don't learn Dutch in school...
@@cosi4683 wrong, there are German schools near the boarder who learn Dutch. I'm from Nijmegen and my buddy from Kleve, nearby the boarder had Dutch lessons at schools. His Dutch is way better than my German. We developed our own mixed language.
Not right, more difficult. 😁 I understand more dutch, but the dutch people laugh at my pronunciation. so I do speak English to make myself understood there.🙃😊😎 Sorry, many Dutch people show little patience and accommodating with German tourists. 🤷🏼♂️😥
Neat that you can get fresh herring there, like in northern Germany. Herring is only available in North America as canned, and not much exported from the fisheries in the eastern parts of Canada. .
I was surprised by how well your pronunciation was. Found out Phil is German, right? Which explains a lot. But it's great to hear Deana have the same great pronunciation of one of the most difficult germanic languages out there. Well done, A+!. And my favorite dutch foods is Boerenkoolstampot (Kale and potato, boiled together and then mashed in the pan with some butter and/or milk) with rookworst.
LOL, only the Dutch thinks that Dutch is difficult. Before I learnt Dutch, my Dutch friends were all saying how it is one of the most difficule languages in the world. Still makes me giggle to this day.
This tour made me instant subscribe to your channel. Love it!
Welcome to the Netherlands. Nice video!! After a holiday abroad, I really crave something simple like a wholegrain sandwich with creamy butter and old (ripened) cheese with mustard. So simple, but só delicious! I also recommend trying erwtensoep a.k.a. snert. And the Indonesian and Surinam food is also very good in the Netherlands. The history is regrettable, but the food is delicious.
I really respect that you two blur the faces of the people around you when filming. I find a lot of youtubers don't do that and it really shows that your respect for people and their privacy
It is beyond stupid that they blur faces in the Netherlands because we ain't paranoid Anglo Saxon / American whiners. No one minds here.
@@Fjodor.Tabularasa Thats an overgeneralization and conjecture. Lol I don't even know where to begin with the comment. There is so much discourse across Europe surrounding privacy and the political and philosophical implications of government and corporate overreach. Even classifying the US, Canada, New Zealand, or Australia as Anglo-Saxon countries totally cultural relativism, pluralism and multiculturalism in the context of privacy.
Blurring face of ppl walking on the public road is NOT needed!
But it is a decent thing to do.
@@demensclay6419 but respectful 😊😎
Loved the video and many thanks that you've enjoyed the food.
Im currently doing a school project, and this really helped. Thanks.
Finally my favourite KZheadrs try dutch food, i prefer dutch Indonesian cuisine! But i can't say that out loud, cause i happen to know 2 2 times worldchampions in traditional dutch cuisine and one of them is my spouse, who is actually born in Germany but that's a different story
That vending machine market was so cool, I love seeing vending machines with great foods and drinks. The food looks so good in the Netherlands.
Yeah theyre pretty much all over the country wherever you go. G'day mate!
And the funny thing about those "loketautomaten" is that it's actually a German invention!
I love how non native people actually experience food that you as a native might consider as something totally common. Anyway, the reason we may speak so many languages is because we have * many * people that are not originally from The Netherlands. Also we tend to learn 4 languages at highschool so we know at least the basis... Anyway, looked great how you enjoyed our typical fast foods. By no means a daily dish for most (at least not if you are asked if you ate sensible today 🤣)
Back when human beings actually sold train tickets, you simply HAD to be conversant in Dutch, English, French, and German.
Bitterballen: Supermarket sells them too, in variable qualities and brands. Different fillings too these days. We grab them out of the freezer when we don't want to cook and put them in the fryer. :D Right at home. NOM 🥰
You might already know that, but if you want to take trips from Dusseldorf into the Netherlands, you have a lot of great options. - By public transportation: You can take a direct train to Venlo (RE13) or Arnhem (RE19). You can also get to Nijmegen, but it's a longer ride and you have to switch to a bus to get to Nijmegen from Kleve (that option is limited at the moment since there is construction going on on the RE10 from Dusseldorf to Kleve, that should be finished by the end of November). You can go via Emmerich and take the bus from there. All of those options have one thing in common, those Dutch cities are integrated into the VRR transport association, so if you already have a subscription pass (Ticket 1000 or Ticket 2000) in Dusseldorf, you can go there for free at certain times. This is a good, cheap option if you don't have any heavy shopping planned. - By car, if you want to go shopping or take trips further into the country you can, of course, go everywhere even the North Sea beaches in about 2,5 to 3 hours. For short shopping trips most people go to Venlo or Roermond (which has a huge artificial village made up entirely out of outlet stores by all the major designer brands). It's very popular for Germans to cross the border, when the shops in Germany are closed on Sundays and the holidays, because they are usually open in the Netherlands, but it can be very crowdy, since Germans are sheep and if you have the idea to take such a trip, thousands of Germans will have that exact same idea. As for food, I have to recommend my favorite Dutch desert which are Tompoucen, cream-filled pastries with a pink frosting on top. They are sometimes sold in German bakeries under the name of "Holländer Kirsch" or something like that.
Not all German People are sheep. I often meet Dutch people with similar dispositions to the herd instinct, e.g. in ski areas (like Sauerland and Harz) and outlets like Gerry Weber. 🐑🐑🐑 😁😉 😂😂😂
Nice video, nice to see my own little country! The kibbeling you tried second (kibbeling are the chunks, lekkerbekje is more like a whole fish, more like the fish and chips in the UK), are usually made from Codfish. To be honest, when you stay longer you should actually also try some 'stamppot" You've only tried different snacks, but it's usually not what we eat for dinner. For dinner a very dutch thing (which fortunately with the younger generations you see less and less) is aardappel groente vlees. Plain cooked potatoes, plain cooked veggies and plane baked meat with a little gravy. But stamppot is really good food, like boerenkoolstamppot or zuurkoolstamppot, both with rookworst. Also the Dutch eat pannekoeken (pancakes) for dinner, you can try it also!!
You should try "Stamppot boerenkool" especially with rookworst and bacon in it. Thats a typical dutch food. In America you know the main ingerdient as kale. We mainly eat this in the winter.
I was moved to Rottadam from eindhoven last week. The food market is a best place to try different foods 😍
Worked in Eindhoven for 1.5 years, awesome bit of nostalgia to see the city again. Musically, I've been a hip-hop head most my life, Eindhoven's graffiti scene made me understand the art side of hip-hop's culture as well. Feel blessed for my time there.
Have you ever visited Valkenswaard?
Eindhoven.....rockcity🤘 Peter pan speedrock forever
Oooeh, you two missed out on something big... at Houwens Vlaai they have the original Bosche Bollen from Den Bosch (Chocolate Balls filled with Whipped cream). They are very well known in the Netherlands and are delicious. Thnx for this video!!
They are actually in the video if you look closely on the right side of the apple 🥧
@@menmproevers1243 he he your right indeed... at my last Birthday I got those at work (in Eindhoven) for my colleagues... we all loves these original Bosche Bollen 😋
this was so mutch fun to see. hoped you liked it. ive mist a lot of other dutch things. we have all so pindakaas, dutch cheese, spekkies, drop and more.
Nice couple ! Not over the the top or annoying at all. I subscribed!
I am a Dutch resident. You only ate party food. And not the food we normally eat on al dayley base. Kroketten en bitterballen (plural) bitterbal (single) are the same. Only different shape. Taste of those depend on the brand. A frikandel does normally not Ave a breadcrumb crust. And the appeltaart you had, is normally served with whipped cream, and sometimes vanilla ice and whipped cream. And is not a Dutch desert. But also more a party thing. Birthday and so on.
I'm Dutch myself & you also should have tried another town close by, called 'S-Hertogenbosch, food is a bit different but so yummy 😋 nice footage guys 👍🏻
Mmmmm - Bosche bollen in s-Hertogenbosch!
Different? Hoezo?
Glad you liked our food. greetings from the Netherlands.
The frikandel looked like a corndog just not made w/ cornmeal in the batter. My favorite Dutch snack is rollmops. I also think Dutch cheese is the best cheese.
Now I think Dutch food is highly underrated! 😛
HIGH ly
And this is just the fastfood. When you start to get invited to family dinners and friends parties. Oh man! 😛
As it should be. Move away from seaside and "ethnic" food, it is all stammpot and shit. Boiled meat, potatoes and lettuce. Weeee
@@Caprifool Sure mate, there you'll get boiled potatoes, boiled vegy, mashed up potatoes with vegy....nothing impressive here but that's why we have take away food from all over the world!
@@urosmarjanovic663 stamppot is the good stuff
My favorite kroket in the vending machine wall is probably bami, which has Indonesian fried noodles inside. Very tasty and unexpected. Kaassouffle are nice for dipping your fries into. :D However, that kaassouffle doesn;t look great, the cheese on the inside should be very melty and more of a thick liquid. Broodje haring are nice, too, and yes it usually comes with onions and pickles. The dish you definitely missed (in my book) is erwtensoep, which is a pea soup with potatoes and a sausage. Good stuff.
erwtensoep is not a dutch thing :) is the same soup in germany--> erbsensuppe/erwtensoep or just like linsensuppe/linzensoep with a wiener sausage (german style) and fresh bread roll/ban
You can’t say it’s not dutch ( insulting also, I’m sorry) because they make a thing in an other country. It is dutch. And different from the soups in Germany.
The issue with the kaassouffle happens too often IMO. I love kaassouffles but only a few snackbars/restaurants actually get it right. As a kid there was a snackbar where I lived nearby which had those fat, juicy kaassouffles with molten cheese dripping out of it at the slightest touch. Even as an adult I can't remember ever having one with the same level of quality. I also love "broodjes haring." Heh. this video made me hungry. I think I'm going to get some of this food tomorrow.
@@JH24821 The funny thing about broodje haring is so many people think they'll hate it and then actually like it. I was one of them.
@@liavanson8687 oh and wat is the different between german and NL erwtensoep ? I tell you, it's the same soup .i live 5 km from NL (Kleef/kleve) my half family lives in NL and zijn nederlanders ,Ik zei niet dat het geen nederlands soep was ;) ok I forgot the word alone --> NEW: erwtensoep is not ALONE a dutch thing ( so better ) ;)
Thanks folks; I left Eindhoven at 23 ('78) and moved to New Zealand. You had my mouth watering, I tell ya. Nice to see my hometown again xx
I love it that you guys choose a different city then amsterdam
hehe the mention of a thanksgiving table in the Netherlands when they ate bitterballen..😂 Still I get how it could be an thanksgiving type food for Americans. We of course don't celebrate it here, but it is a warming snack for sure!
You need to go to a Dutch supermarket and get some vla! It’s really yummy creamy pudding that usually comes in what looks like a classic North American milk carton.
Of Limburgse vlaai
There's usually a machine that changes money, giving 1 € (Euro) coins and quarters. To the left and right of the vending machines on the wall it says with big letters in Dutch to go to the "Loket" or cash register desk for change with an arrow pointing to the right. It also says "Broodje" meaning "Bun" because you can also order those things on a bun at the desk. I usually order a small French Fries with Mayonnaise and one of the different kinds of Kroketten + a Fruit Juice.
Nice video. you forgot one classic. its a broodje halve rookworst met mosterd from Hema. its a smoked sausage with mustard in a soft white bun. best period is october till march. Wishing you all the best.
I didn't like Bitterballen much, it was too squishy and strong in taste for me. But during the 2 month internship we had a cook making the evening meal and though I was biking to work every day, I got 2kg more in those 2 month. It was really tasty and always more than we could eat.
In your defense we all have to take 2 years of german in middle school so that’s probably why we seem to know many words somewhat (though most can’t really speak german, we can just kind of manage to make out written german)
@H B Perhaps at lower education levels.. havo en vwo is gewoon 2 jaar frans+duits in de onderbouw.
I know that Dutch fried food is famous, but i would recommend you to find out the typical Dutch winter foods. Those also taste better then they look. Stamppot boerenkool (kale), hutspot, stamppot zuurkool (sauerkraut), Snert (pea soup).
actually looked it up, and the frikandel and hot dog are semi-similar in how they're made. Both are at least beef trimmings, but the frikandel also adds trimmings from pigs, and chickens (with ofc your usual binding materials, and other things)
Yup that's exactly what I associate with the Netherlands, a lot of snack foods, no proper big dishes. I remember being really surprised about that the first time I went there.
There are Dutch potato based dishes and soups. But you are right that most are snacks.
It's not like we eat these things all the time, but they stand out most as the other stuff is more like what you would get in general in a kind of Belgian-French-german fusion. Some Indonesian-Dutch cuisine is also pretty great and distinct from neighbouring cuisines.
@@waterdrager93 what would be your common dinner type of dishes?
@@themeltedchocolate stampot boerenkool/Hutspot/zuurkool/andijviestamppot/koolraap stamppot (Potato dish with vegetables) Erwtensoep/snert met rogge brood en kattenspek (soup) Hachee (beefstew) Asperges with ham and hollandaise saus
Yea we usually buy groceries and cook at home.. (at least I do, even when eating alone). I tend to alternate between potatoes, vegetables and meat, (sometimes vegetarian) pasta with a nice italian sauce, dutchified mexican food, rice dishes, sometimes lazy snacks with fries. Just whatever I feel like eating. Nowadays I do have a bf but I just cook whatever the mood strikes me and he seems happy with it.
Bitterballen are great, but they get even better when enjoying them with a Belgian beer.😋
Bitterballs from Flodder in Amerika (1992) 🤮
8:37 In the modern frikandel in Europe, chicken meat that remained on the carcass after filleting (40%) is also known as mechanically separated meat, 25% is pork; some producers add about 5% horse meat. The rest is water, breadcrumbs, binding agent, herbs, onions and flavor enhancers. There are also special chicken frikandels that contain up to 80% chicken meat and no pork. In the United States, the frikandel consists of 50% pork, 35% beef and 15% chicken meat and no horse meat is used. There are also vegetarian frikandels; these are made with plant-based ingredients
Bitterballen are great welcome to the Netherlands ❤
Thank you, Bianca! (or is it bedankt? we're not sure!)
@@DeanaandPhil Very good it is bedankt 👏 or dank je wel in the Netherlands
Wow multiple countries food
We like to eat!
The inside of a bitterbal is called ragout. It is beef stock, with gelatine, butter, flower, pulled beef, herbs and black pepper.
Some Dutch food was adapted from the Indonesian colonial days, such as Rijsttafel. Also, a delicious dessert is Semolina pudding with currant berry sauce.
Your reactions to our deep fried junk food do match the reactions from many foreigners… just think: if that’s the cheap junk food, how will the rest be? Anyway, have fun exploring. Highly recommended to visit the older cities for their history, very different from German architecture…
Now that you came to my country, im going to visit yours in december (xmas market in dusseldorf). can you info me where we can eat the best SCHNITZEL in Dusseldorf??
Haha nice! We are honestly still looking for the best schnitzel in Düsseldorf! Maybe other people know?
Im Füchschen oder Schlüssel in der Altstadt. Beides grosse Brauereihäuser.
@@Miristzuheiss danke fur die hilde👍
Hilfe…

Your pronunciation is on point! I'm impressed 😀😀
Haha nice vid! You missed the pannenkoeken, poffertjes and stroopwafels. Maatjes and also Hollandse Nieuwe is the same as haring, only you can call it Maatjes when its caught in a certain period of the year. Greatz from the Netherlands 👊🏻
Deep fried snacks, that's the Dutch 'food culture'. I'd take the fastest road to the neighbouring countries, if I were you guys. :-)))
"Most Dutch people understand almost anything in German". In part because every Dutch child gets at least 1-2 years of German language classes in school :) You got lucky with your kibbeling. Depending on the vendor it can be very good or extremely bad. Especially at the end of the day the frying oil can get rancid and not every shop takes the trouble to replace it frequently enough (same with all deep fried foods, obviously). Kroket and bitterballen are variations on the same concept. Thick roux covered in breading and deep fried. Best ones have a high meat content, cheap ones mostly starch :) Matjes is pickled herring, so yes it's very different. Available in the Netherlands as well, usually sold in glass jars. Welcome to the Netherlands. Now try real Dutch food and not just street snacks :)

@@jwenting Ben je er swa. Je weet zelluf toch. Zo gaan die dingen no.
Nice video Guys 🤙🏻👍🏻👍🏻 greetings from holland!
I just love this kind of video, i could watch them all day! The kibbeling is very hit and miss. Some of the mobile fish shops sometimes make it super greasy or use old fat so it doesnt taste that good, but you lucked out with a really good restaurant, bcs it looks like some of the best i ever saw, and the chips, i could almost taste them :) The same goes a bit for the haring. You need to know where to get it as not all fish places have a good variety. You identified the kroket correctly, its basically a long bitterbal (bal is singular, ba l _len_ is plural ) Now to all foreigners: while these were some common things dutch eat now and then, we dont eat fried food and apple pie all the time. These things are more like snacks and treats or stuff we eat when out on the town shopping or drinking with friends or coworkers. I have never stood in my kitchen frying kibbeling, although we do make bitterballen on a party sometimes or have fries as a side dish with our _vegetables_ and _meat_ LOL and ofc apple pie is a staple thing served at birthday parties. I bake one at least once a year on my brithday. For really traditional dutch dinner dishes you should try a (good) meatball or pork chop,, cooked potatoes (make sure they are 'kruimig' and had a bit of salt(3 teaspoons) added to the water during boilingt and were left to dry out a bit after pouring off the water) with gravy and some pea/carrot mixed vegetables. Or zuurkool stamppot with gebakken spekjes. Or, something Deana will likely recognise: pancakes! For breakfast and lunch, to some foreigners surprise, we usually just eat bread with some sliced meats or cheese, or some spread like peanut butter, jelly (separate, not together or chocolate paste) The last few decades the dutch have shifted from a lot of dutch traditionals like sperziebonen, spinazie, rode kool, boerenkool, spruitjes, bietjes, to also cookt a lot of italian, chinese, japanese, indonesian and turkish/moroccan styled dishes, making it harder to get something 'real dutch' that isnt snacks. LoL if i ever start a restaurant ill have a 'tourist try out" arrangement where you get small servings of a ton of dutch traditionals. Shame i dont live near the border or next time you should come try my apple pie. I'm sure phil would eat his fingers with that. My family recipe uses far less cinnamon and several other tasty things than just dough and apple.
Considering fish, Kibbeling and Lekkerbekje are allright but fried Schol tastes even better, although the downside is that is has many bones.
Ye kibbelingen. Sometimes awesome, sometimes you need a toilet too soon. Old fat etc.... i avoid them if i don't know the vendor
Thanks for showing us the Dutch food. Love seeing all the European foods since you are in Europe.
I am from the Netherlands and i cracked when they said a frikadel is a hotdog, i dont think that many People outside of de Netherlands know this but a frikandel is made of horse meat. So yeah....
No, frikandel is made of mostly chicken ‘separator’ meat, then pork and beef and only some manufacturers add a little horse meat.
Yes! Love the bitterballen here in The Netherlands! 😃
Germany has an own Version of Apple Cake with a Cake Crust. It is called _gedeckter Apfelkuchen_
Sort of cheating, but the Rijstaafel (spelling?) is a huge fave. Basically Indonesian food buffet, ranging from mild to super-spicy (like, makes even Indians and Thai go "AIIEEE!"). For more traditional Dutch food, their various pancakes, from the fluffy sort to crepes, with all the many, many varieties of topping. So good.
*rijsttafel 🙂
1. The bitterballen: The stuff inside is ragout, based on a roux. A roux is baked flower. Beef, beef stock and gelatine is added. 2. Kibbeling is little pieces of white fish. Garlick, Ravigotte sause and remouladesause are recommended. Lekkerbekjes (Trranslation: Tasty in the mouth) is a flat fish with batter. 3. German is part of our standard school curriculum. 4. Vending machines are riskey: sometimes the food is a bit old. 5. The frikandel looks more like a viandel: it is a frikandel with a bettered layer. A frikandel is different kinds of meat. Mostly chicken and porc, sometimes horse. 6. Yes a kroket is also with ragout. 7. Kaassouflee is a bit doughy I feel. Better to make it yourself. The cheese inside is often a bit lesser in quality. Try a cheese stick at your local (Dutch) baker. Fluffy dough with cheese. 8. We usually do the basic fries with just salt. You could do a loaded version or a spiced one. 9. Broodje haring I wouldn t call that light :) packs a punch. It's slightly fermented herring with salt. The freshness might be perception. 10 Apple pie. There is no American apple pie, they got it from european settlers. "As American as apple pie" is a lie. The cake is a lie. The brown filling is mostly custard, sugar, spices, sultanas and the juice from the apples. Tip: aside from the vanilla, you're missing the whipped (sweet) cream.
A "lekkerbekje" originally only used filet of Whiting, however now it includes a variety of white fish such as Cod, Hake, and Pollock. "Kibbeling" originally consisted of the waste residue of Cob after cutting off the filet, especially the cheeks and as such was seen as a poor-men's fish dish.
When in NL you should definitely try Surinamese food. You are not likely to get it anywhere else, other than ofcourse Suriname itself. It's so good. Also: breaded frikandel? must be a southern thing, never seen one before. Try a frikandel speciaal next time (with mayo, curry & onion) and try Patat oorlog (fries with mayo & satésaus). Another snack you should try is the underrated Bamibal. And treat yourself to some poffertjes, but you'll have to find a place where they sell them. Enjoy your stay in NL!
Patatje oorlog is met pindasaus niet met satesaus, satesaus eet je met satestokjes. 😂
Eierbal mmm
Eindhoven, not the first city that would pop in my mind when visiting the Netherlands. In Brabant, I would have visited Den Bosch. For the Netherlands, I would have visited Utrecht, Rotterdam or Maastricht. Bitterballen, kroketten, frikandellen etc. are snacks. ‘Stored on the frozen ice’ 😂🤣.
Heb je ook ongevroren ijs?
@@koosme6624 dat noemen we water. Stored on frozen ice was wat er te horen waanzin de video.
Well, you definitely tried the best of SNACKS we have here, but we dont really come out as a healthy country now are we?🤪 hope you had the chance or will have the chance to also try snert, different kinds of stamppot and other dishes with typical veggies a dutchie likes to eat😁👍oh, and poffertjes and stroopwafels!
Now you have me craving for bitterballen! Love them, but not to be found in Germany, where I currently live, alas. Glad you like them too. But Phil is going a bit heavy on the mustard, which will soon overpower the bitterbal. I prefer without mustard. Kibbeling! How I miss that! Going to the mall and then in the middle of the day treat yourself to kibbeling and sitting down for a bit. Such wonderful memories. Never in my life I saw a frikandel like that before. We normally eat it without this coat of batter. At least everywhere else. And yes, a kroket is like eating 3 bitterballen in one long run :) You can get your fries with whichever topping and sauce or mixture you like. Apple pie, I'm dying for it right now. What have you done to me!?
Aantal = Anzahl, vandaag = heute
Ohhhhhh thanks! or bedankt? dankjewel? (Google translate has been failing us lately!)
@@DeanaandPhil both can be used 🙂

0:24 Eindhoven close to DLL. The Brabant sausage bread rolls (worstenbroodjes) with hearty pea soup is really good there.
I get that with the kroketten from the wall tasting even better than the bitterballen in the food plaza: a lot of the time, in my expeirnece, restaurants that make these dishes fresh have more chunks in the ragout or whatever else to make theirs stand out from the standard. But those from the wall or simple snackbars are the standard for a reason: they just work and taste great. I tend to shy away from 'fancy' or 'retro-traditional' kroketten and bitterballen, the factory made stuff has already hit the zenith of the experience.
#7 the Haring is eaten by the tail dipped in sliced unions, delicious. We Dutch don't eat fried foods all the time but fried potatoes with mayonaise is a treat not to miss for those who have not eaten that before. Enjoy your stay and my favorite Dutch dessert is rise pie from Limburg province.. with is so good. Visit Westland if you can when visiting the Netherlands, we got local currency and a lot of green houses for vegetables.
so kibbeling with tartaar sauce is absolutely my favorite food from the netherlands as a belgian specially when u go to the docks where they come in and are baked fresh early morning or evening. for topping on french fries the dutch typically prefer peanutsauce though not mayo, that's a belgian thing. the kroket is homemade so it is filled with a typical recipe from someone's mom or grandmom.
