These two expats in The Netherlands had never eaten at FEBO. Crazy, right? We fix that many times over in this video!
We tried fried cheese, fried meats, and much more as we tour around a few FEBO locations in Amsterdam. Yes, many desserts were ordered.
ABOUT US
We are Nate and Katrina, two American expats living in Amsterdam, The Netherlands and traveling as much as we can to see what there is to see! We balance a busy career and grad school while we explore Europe and beyond. We would love to visit every country in Europe while we live here, and definitely keep a list of our global “must visit” destinations.
We probably won’t look or sound like many other travel vlogs out there. We really want to give you a true view of us and how we travel and explore the world. Lots of food, definitely some jokes, and probably some swearing…. Hope you enjoy taking these trips with us!

Krokets or bitterballens, same thing, just different size/shape. You take cooked meat, preferably beef, and chop it up finely. Cook with finely sautéed onion & broth. Seasoned with salt, white pepper, and nutmeg. Thicken with a roux and sometimes add unflavored gelatin. Refrigerate until it sets. This allows you to roll/shape it. You then dip it into an egg wash and bread crumbs. Repeat the egg/bread crumb process and then deep fry. Usually, you split it open and put Dutch mustard in the center. PS I'm really enjoying your channel, and you've given me lots of wonderful ideas for my upcoming visit to Amsterdam this summer. Many thanks. 😊

Make your own Kroketjes and/or bitterballen. Since I have to do it myself now here in Las Vegas although I could order Voorn's Kroketten, I found THE perfect broth for it: Bone Broth! It took me several times to figure out the spices though but now, I make my own beef kroketten.

@mavadelo 10 дней назад

the "Automatiek" as we call it in the Netherlands was actually a German invention and prior to it's succes here it was big in the USA. You could buy all sorts of things from them. It is fitting you started on the Ferdinand Bolstraat. The name Febo is literally the abreviation of Ferdinand Bol. This was the street the first Febo was planned, hence the name. Due to circumstances it didn't actually open first on the Ferdinand Bol but the name was already registered so they kept it. the old coin operated machines from the 70's and 80's had a way to trick them. If you closed one compartment and at the exact right moment while doing that pulled the door of another one, the other one would open giving you two snacks for the price of one. No idea how or why, I just know it worked.

Even Anthony Bourdain himself visited FEBO. May he find peace.. :( But he did point out the importance of getting deep fried snacks while being completely hammered without the need to interact with other humans. Im so glad he went beyond the veil and managed to see the truth behind true Amsterdam culture. Im sure you've seen his Amsterdam episodes, its just the best. Its just so sad what... ok well... One of New York City's finest in my book.... Just in case you havent seen it : The Layover: Amsterdam is right here on RU-vid. Quote of the century: "Amsterdam : The place where you can "love" East European "ladies" from the "backside" at competative prices!" :D Or: "Im looking for that cat piss flavour...". "Ah that would be Sativa then!"

@Jackiegoal 7 месяцев назад

Kroketten are definitely hit or miss. Febo isn't known for quality and I personally rarely go there. The best kroketten in my opinion are "draadjesvleeskroketten". They contain stewed meat and are less ragout-y. A good example of the opposite are "van Dobben kroketten", they're very popular but I don't like them. They're mostly ragout with little cubes of meat in them. Tbh, I think Katrina comparing stuff to McDonalds is accurate. The quality level is pretty comparable.

@nateandkatrinadotheworld 7 месяцев назад

Febo is more about the novelty of hot vending machine food. It’s definitely not the best. But every now and then… kind of like McDonald’s! Thanks for watching!
