Yes Amsterdam is expansive when you go to a market in lets say Maastricht ore Eindhoven etcetera, its only 3 euro ore 3,50 so yeah you pay also for where you eating not what you eating . Lol
All I can say Charlie...you have learned so much about the Netherlands. You pronounced Febo correctly, know exactly how to eat a Broodje Hagelslag (where most of us traditionally like the Pure red kind, on single bread with soft Roomboter), the chrystallined cheese which CAN be Beemster but it's not even the best or considered as traditional in that sense, we call that raw farmercheese (rauwe boerenkaas, which you can only get locally or at that special cheese shop). Beemster is actually famous for their landscaping and Unesco protected cultural infrastructure. The Beemster is an area where rich Amsterdam people and handlers commuted to way back in the day and created their paradise...did you know American infrastucture has been based on the Beemster square landshaping idea from the Netherlands? Only difference, we applied it on a small scale to be efficient, and America went nuts with it basically killing the original idea and Americans have to travel distances by car that makes no sense to us. Last note, Febo actually stands for Ferdinand Bol (which is a street in Amsterdam)...where it originated from and to this day still outperforms all competition on Kroketten and their Grillburgers!
They used real butter which is actually way better than the spreadable stuff. Just let this sit a bit to warm up and you can spread this perfectly fine
Dude! You know the hagelslag rules like a true dutchy! And yes, your pronunciation of FEBO is right mate! To clarify the 'Gouda kaas' vs 'Beemster', the process in cheese making is mostly the same, but its about the location where its made that gives it the name. 'Beemster' is the name of a reclaimed area in the Noord-Holland province and was the name of a town in that area too. 'Gouda' is a city in the province of 'Zuid-Holland' (the province south of 'noord-holland', duh!). For Americans (and i guess for other countries too) the Gouda cheese became synonym for 'Dutch cheese' in general (great marketing ey). HOWEVER! All these 'factory made cheese' are made with pasteurized milk, while still tasting very good, it doesn't compare to farmers-cheese or in Dutch; Boeren kaas, which is made with RAW milk. Unpasteurized milk/Cheese might have some bacteria present (lysteria/e-coli) that might harm people with lower immune-system (babies/infants/elderly/pregnant) and and could pose a health risk those groups. Most people dont have any problem with it and the taste is even better!
funny is that they are also not originally from spain. they likely origjnated in china or the middle east. the portugese brought them from china to europe and the spanish took the tradition over from the portugese
I'm Norwegian, and I had some traditional deep fried cheese balls for dinner in Amsterdam that were heaven on a plate. In a country brimming with all kinds of delicious cheeses, their cheesey foods are bound to be mouthwatering.
FEBO means Ferdinand Bolstraat, a well known street in Amsterdam, which was ment to be the first shop of this brand and as such was it named in the papers. This however did not happen but after years there is indeed a FEBO in the Ferdinand Bolstraat.
My uncle worked at the "Ruiter" for many years. Worked, we got so much. weight just not right, And my twin brother worked in a cookie bakery for 9 years. from apple cake to filled Speculoos. I'm almost over my cookie addiction.
Vla has the thickness as yoghert and usual you eat it as a dessert as last course after dinner. Also verry nice with whip cream and hagelslag. Vla in combination with yoghert and fruit cirop it is called a fla flip. All in one bowl but not mixed together.
2:12 That's not how a typical Dutch person would eat their 'stamppot.' It looks like it's made by someone who isn't Dutch and mixed up some Dutch recipes into one meal. 😋
It looks like someone made it who works in a Restaurant and has to sell it to customers that expect a restaurant worthy plate of food. Our vulcano pile with gravy crater is not very restaurant worthy to look at. It contains all the parts, the rest is just standard restaurant fluff to make it look a bit better.. Sure... we probably wouldn't do a bal AND a worst but I would expect a restaurant showcasing Dutch food to include them both.
With the Kapsalon she meant it's Dönor meat. Turkish here also use Dönor for dishes, kapsalon is invented from Rotterdam I believe and it's a dish filled at the bottom with fries, topping with meat (chicken, sheep or mixed) and lettuce / salad then the sauce. Sauce original I believe is garlic (Knoflooksaus). There are variations, in my town where I grew up there was Oriental sauce, it was a home made sauce from the food place, but it was good.
The story goes there was a Döner, or shoarma, place a couple of doors down from a Kapsalon (hair dresser). One of the people from the hairdresser invented the dish and ordered it on a regular basis. So they started calling it kapsalon.
You were right about pronoucing Febo and the Netherlands also love THE burger😂and like you said: Churro's... We are Multicultural here😅we love food. Kids here eat HAGELSLAG lik a sandwich, not to much bread😂you put more HAGELSLAG on it. VLA is a dessert but you should try it, it is amassing😊Döner is accutually from mediteranian (Multicultural country) you would love this dish, the warm fries, meat and cheese witch a cold salade above❤🎉party in the mouth. But you don't find that in Amsterdam, you need to go to Rotterdam were it was created! Big difference. I hope you can get your hands on a ROOKWORST otherwise let me know😅😅
A Belgian here, we also eat chocolate sprinkles on bread, we call it mouse poop 🤪😁 What i don't understand is, why isn't this a thing everywhere!? You can find chocolate sprinkles and bread everywhere, just combine it and yummy breakfast! 👍
Lettuce, onion an tomato are considered vegetables, and on a kapsalon they make the dish compliant to the classic idea of what a full meal should contain: AGV (aardappelen, groente, vlees: potatoes, vegetables and meat).
1. Grootmoeder, or oma, is grandmother. Isn't "grand" big too? 2. Endives (chickory) and andijvie (romaine letuce) are different things. I think he's having andijvie. 3. You don't need to go to HEMA to get rookworst. Just google "dutch food usa" and you'll find all things Dutch. Also there are many smoked sausage brands in the US. I buy them from Costco where they're sold as Polish Smoked Sausage. By the way, the HEMA rookworst is made by Unox. HEMA doesn't manufacture anything. They just use their house brand. 4. DON't eat out of the wall! 5. The crystals in aged cheese are mainly tyrosine and calcium lactate.
Febo, the wonderwall And, yes, they are probably in the center so, if you want to eat and film something without disturbing people/being disturbed, a back alley is probably a good option (oh, and they fall into the "space cake" tourist traps, so funny)
As a dutchie, i like your channel. You look like a very down to earth guy, and you also seem to know a LOT about the NL man. Geographically, the stuff which is typical to the NL and also pronounciation of words etc. Very cool reaction video 👍🏻 Cheers from North Brabant 👊🏻😉
Traditional Gelderse rookworst from a butcher is the best! Febo stems from Ferdinand Bolstraat, the first Febo was located in that street. Indisch food (Dutch Indies food) is for a lot of Dutch people as Dutch as Dutch food. So many people with Dutch Indies roots. Same with Surinam. And nowadays also some Turkish snacks. Dutch people eat a mixture of all kinds of other cultures food. Lot of people will eat a lot of Italian, f.e.
@@Jobranca taste is personal but I've never heard anyone put salted butter with hagelslag. Not to tourists anyway...most foreigners say dutch food is salty so to put on extra salt... But!! But it might be good, I'd have to try it hahah
If your wooden shoes are the right size, wear them until they suit your feet. You'll start to love them. I've been using mine for 5 years and they are the best shoes ever. (northern Dutch guy here)
I love their channel! Loved that video🥰 11:48 absolutely spot on :) 23:53 He drinks it but it's not for drinking. it's a dessert you eat with a spoon. so i'm almost kind of throwing up lol when he drinks the entire thing lol 28:43 yes. the doner kebab is also very popular in Germany. esp. at the border around Dusseldorf (like he said).
Vla is for deserts. No, you don't drink it. You can have it straight, or combine it with some ice cream or fruit or whatever you feel like. Have it in a small desert bowl with a desert spoon.
Yes to all your questions, you are right the whole time. Also 1 boterham with soft roomboter and dark chocolate sprinkles or coloured one’s tastes the best.
I think you have to figure out the different meaning of the word snack, in the Netherlands if you go to a snackbar you know that everything is going to be deep fried. We don't call a mars bar a snack.
You pronounced Febo the correct way .....we need to send you a box with all kind of flavoured rookworst . Yes Aldi or liddle sells it or if you have a Dutch store in your place , ask them to get it for you . Rookworst is in my eyes the best Dutch sausage .
Stampot Grootmoeders Gehaktbal = Mashed Potato Grandma Meatball = Grandma’s mashed potato with a meatball. In the Netherlands we have also Churros. I like them a lot.
@@pimkruisdijk9570 no, grootmoeder iis just another word for Oma. The mother of oma would be overgrootmoeder. The entry in de Dikke van Dale literally says groot·moe·der (de; v; meervoud: grootmoeders) 1 de moeder van iemands vader of moeder; = oma: iets uit grootmoeders tijd van lang geleden
In the Netherlands they say ‘hagelslag’. In Belgium we call it ‘muizenstrontjes’ (= mouse shit). To be honest, it does look like mouse shit. On a sandwich with some butter… delicious
You probably have clogs from Nijhuis, Beltrum. Their factory is in the village Beltrum next to my town (Groenlo, known for the battle of Grolle in the 80 years of war). They’re the biggest manufacturer of wooden shoes in the Netherlands.
Vla is a dessert, not a drink, and the word pudding does come closest to it. I think they got confused with "drinkyoghurt" , where yoghurt is mostly a dessert, but thinned out it is very drinkable, sort of a thicker milk.
FeBo comes from the streetname Ferdinant Boll in Amsterdam. That's where the first vending machine for snacks was situated. They should try a normal bami/rice dish from a Suriname or Indonesian kitchen.
I like Deanna and Phil, nice channel. Buddy your translations are very good, grootmoeder just is grandma. and that large stroopwafel, you really have to try that in real life for sure!! awesome, buttery syruppy cookie goodness, and the kapsalon is just two meals in one calory-wise.. love the video, thanks and cheers/proost!
Dutch meatballs come in 2 varieties, the "braadbal" and the "stoofbal" the braadbal has a crust and is panfried and the stoofbal is more a slowcooked meatball in gravy
I always do brown bread and purr chocolate sprinkles, not the milk ones they have. Pure is more chocolaty and stands up well to the bread and yes butter is a must. Salted butter especially.
You seem to love our country , yes, I am from the Netherlands. Where does that love come from, been here for a while? Vanille vla is jummy, so come over here for a staycation and check it all out yourself. I know a lot of the tourist only see Amsterdam, and that is nice, but there are heaps of beautiful cities here to visit. And the hash and marihuana thing, the majority the Dutch never touched it. But it is there for those who like it.
Btw Charlie, do you know the story behind those "vending machines" ( in the netherlands we call that specific contraption "de muur" or "de automaat", regional terms may vary) containing fried snacks? If not and should you read this, then I got a story for you: Disclaimer: I am not a historian. I was told this story by my grandfather and I have no idea where he got it from. If I am wrong then I trust that my countrymen and/or women will chime in and add their proverbial 2 cents by way of correction or addition. So as I understand it those vending machines came to be as an indirect result of various legal changes implemented at some point during the industrial age. Part of that change introduced the hourly wage as opposed to being paid based on individual output in addition to laws governing opening hours for factories, stores etc etc. While those changes are ultimately considered to be changes for the better, at the time of introduction this caused a bit of a problem. The time at which stores would have to close was the same as the end of a conventional workshift. This created two problems: workers who would formerly stop and grab something small and cheap to eat on their way home from work could no longer do so, and owners of small food stores missed out on a large chunk of income as a result of having to close their doors at a time that was essentially the busiest part of the day for them. To solve that problem Dutch store owners employed a creative work around that enabled them to generate income outside of commercial opening hours. The law specifically stated that stores had to close their doors and send their employees home at a specified time. However, it did not prohibit the owner himself from being present since it was his own property, and thus store owners started to sell small pre-prepared food items that could be eaten on-the-go (or as the dutch would say it: "uit het vuistje"). As time and technological advancement progressed this process would become automated by way of a vending machine that would be installed in the wall of your establishment. Hence the name "automaat" or "de muur" PS: Sorry for any typo's or weird phrasing. I forgot my ADHD meds so my head is all over the place right now.
Kaassoufllé is a real Dutch snack/food invented in 1969 by a guy from Haastrecht (South-Holland). It's got nothing to do with an actual soufflé (a French invention) since it's not made with egg. And contains a lot of immitation cheese/ cheese substitute. Basicly deep fried garbage, but it tastes pretty good...
i like your video's. Greets from the Netherlands. Did you ever tried drop ? the vla is really nice, we usually eat it as a desert after the stamppot. :P try to put some hagelslag on top of the vannille vla, i think it is f tasty!
You're right about Febo ;) Just be carefull with trying kaassouffle! The outside might be cooled down, but the inside can still be piping hot. Yes that's churros, they've become quite populair in the Netherlands. Stroopwafel freshly made doesn't compare to the store bought one, it's waaaay waaaay better! Vla is custard and you eat it ;) Kapsalon is SOOOOO GOOOOOOOOOOD! It's made with different types of meat. It can be made with döner, shawarma or you can even make it with gyros :D
Fawaka ( how are you ) i am from Rotterdam . You know alot about the Netherlands i have seen all your videos about the Netherlands . I have the idea that you changed in a american dutch person. In a good way . ( Did watching all those Netherlands videos changed your personal life ? ) i think you would love ( vla ) . See you when you are in the Netherlands .
Grootmoeder means grandma...groot is grand (or big) and moeder means mother. HEMA worst has a distinct taste. Other rookworst just isn't the same (but similar) but HEMA rookworst is just the best. You can definitly pick it out of a lineup. You pronounced FEBO correctly. It's [fay-bo]. Be VERY careful with kaas souffle's because they stay hot inside for a long time. You probably had the "Old Amsterdam" cheese. I don't eat butter, I only eat butter with hagelslag. It does add to the flavor and it keeps the hagelslag in place ;)
The one combination that seems to get lost in time is Boerenkool met zuure haring This is how my grandma use to eat it in WW2 i would even say this is the ogrinal before the added the rookworst And this is still the way i eat it till this day
The dutch way to eat a boterham with hagelslag is to fold the bread lengthways and starts wherever you like. In the middle and create a chocolate mustache or eat the sides first and end with the crusts 😇
what i have heard and i dont know if its right but the origine of a kapsalon is just döner with fries. Somewhere in the netherlands there were some barders who want a quickmeal sso they put it together... thats why its a kaspsalon.... kapsalon is translated in bardershop
Gouda is the name of the kind of cheese because it was sold there, but it came from different regions. Because Gouda had sell rights on cheese, you had to have permission to sell cheese back then. because of the cheese market in gouda that cheese was called Goudse kaas and now known for even if the cheese isnt from there.
around this time , the dutch has graskaas (grass cheese) , it's the young cheese from cows milk that is grasing on the meadows. nothing with weed, it's a creamy divine cheese.
the best kapsalons come with veil donër, fresh fries with paprika seasoning, grated cheese, iceberg lettuce, tomato and cucumber in small dices, onions and cabbage white/red, then a healthy portion of garlic sauce and some sambal to spice it up. My favorite dish 4 SUREEE
Yes Charlie you’re wrong, every where in the Netherlands you find snacks, also in the south of the Netherlands..Limburg.. you have also snacks, ànd the specialities.. like Limburgsvlaai.
You do not do Andijvie and carrots together in a stampot . If you wanna make hutspot do mashed patatoes, onions and carrots , some also add pieces of apple in it but then it is called hete bliksem aka hot lightning . Andyvie stampot is with bacon bites and gravy . You can see at the cook that she is not native Dutch . Other then that the dish looks good .
If you mean food as the healthy meals you eat through the day. Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. Then the febo stuff is not our "food", these are snacks. We also call the deep-fried stuff "snacks". The stamppot and gehaktbal is Dutch food indeed.
I guess you should refresh your memory of Dutch. Grootmoeder means grandmother. So it's grandmother's meatball. And Febo: the e is pronounced as ay, so you write Febo but you pronounce it faybo. FYI: Maastricht might be the second or third most visited city in the Netherlands, so of course they have lots of (foreign/American) restaurants there as well. Gouda: pronounce it similar as 'out'. About the hagelslag on bread: indeed you need soft butter (margarine, so not roomboter), and then sprinkle the hagelslag on top on an open slice of bread. So you got that right. Last dish: they call it döner (kebab) but it's actually shoarma/shawarma. Döner is what they call it in Germany though.
The second slice of bread makes the sandwich healthier and more portable. I would have added butter on the second slice as well. (Tbh, I wouldn't use butter but a plant based alternative that spreads better and is considered the healthier choice. Butter is the tastier choice, though.)
1. That meatball doesn't belong to that dish 2. You pronounced FEBO correctly, they didn't 3. The burgershops are indeed relatively tourist centric, usually there aren't that many burgershops in a town 4. Those were indeed Churros 5. Those aren't cars, they are considered scooters 6. They messed up the hagelslag completely. It's the wrong bread, the wrong butter, and you indeed do not use 2 layers for bread. Use one slide of proper white bread (not this toast-bread stuff), put a layer of Margarine on it (so not baking butter like they did) and then the sprinkles. Preferably, you fold the one slide of bread once, so you can hold it properly. 7. For the vla, you put it in a bowl and eat it with a spoon. Some people might put whipped cream on it. You wouldn't drink it. If you want a more fluid (drinkable) variant, you'd buy yoghurt instead of vla. 8. I have no clue about kapsalon, maybe someone else could explain it better. :) Hope this helps
I've no problem in Mexico to get Dutch food. We have a Dutch expat club and have a bazar where we can buy all kinds of Dutch food, even herring and drop. Also members make their own products and one has his own store selling stroopwaffles, oliebollen, kroketten, frikandellen, etc. We Dutch expats have ways to get our stuff. Try minced mice (gestampte muisjes). Just to freak the kids out :) Hagelslag NEVER for lunch. Duo vla with Dutch, English and German text on the package. Real original Dutch. Piss in public 140 euro fine.
The butter they used isn't commonly used on bread, moreso used in cooking by most people. There's softer butter that most people use on their bread. (it comes in like a little tub.)
