That is what I love about Surinamese woman like the woman tour guide in the video. They are so stylish, speak more languages, beautiful skin, down to earth, feminine, and serious when it comes to their culture but so open and likeable. Absolutly want to book a food tour with her!
Amsterdam is home to people from 180 different countries outside of The Netherlands, making up more than half the population of city, about as multicultural as you can get. Great job in pointing that out. Its one of the big things that make the city so interesting but its often overlooked by travel vloggers.
When I did my nurse training in Amsterdam at the beginning of the seventies, you had to go to the food specialities shop at the corner of the Ferdinand Bolstraat to get a pineapple. Now you have to go there to get a cauliflower. How times do change.
Hi David, I hope you come to the Netherlands more often to as there are even more foods here. Like in Den Haag (Den Hague) is also called the big market and next to it is a roundabout, wich has a Surinamese Chinese to take foods. It is so good that even i had to stand in line that go's all the way outside. You should try pork with bread extra spicy 🌶️ if you ever go their. But also in The Netherlands you have Egyptian restaurants/ Mediterranean restaurants. There is also a Shoarma recipe created here in The Netherlands called Kapsalon (barber) they named it that because it is like a bole and a pitta with Shoarma and Fries. That is also a delicacy of The Netherlands. For me Surinamese food is best next to real Dutch foods. 👍🏽😇
1 more thing though, if you want real authentic dutch food, it is mostly simple but not that simple. You would have to go more inland and find Dutch farmers that can make you traditional old Dutch food. Like 1 is green P soup with pork paws, a pigs nose, ears, tails. Allot of Surinames that came into The Netherlands made dutch friends in the north east of The Netherlands. And so like my parents teached them how to make Hindi Surinamese food and they teached us traditional Dutch food. And we modernized it abit with hot a pepper garlic etc.
Hi David. So you went to Amsterdam and ate Middle Eastern food🤔. And finally you treated us to some Amsterdam treat. So all this time I have been pronouncing 'gouda' wrongly when it is actually pronounced 'howda'. Well, I'll be. We have the cookie-sized stroopwafels here in Toronto but, sadly, I can't eat any of them (diabetes). Very nice visit and video. Enjoyed it very much. Be safe and be well.🙏🏻❤️
Well yes Howda is almost right, now you just have to pronounce it while you pretend to choke to get that real gutteral "G" sound. Then its truly Dutch. :D
My wife is Dutch-Indo and born there. I’m familiar with much of the food. We live in Southern California. You pronounce Dutch well. I thought at the beginning the two you were with might be Suriname and the man Indo.
When speaking to the italian woman you referred to truffles saying "truffa" which in italian means "scam". The italian word for truffle is "taturfo", "trartufi" when plural. As an Italian i can tell that she also wasn't used to speak italian since both had an english accent while speaking. And no italian accent at all while speaking english!
They export small versions of the Stroop Waffles cookies to the US. I'm not a huge fan of the combination of the strong cinnamon flavored waffle with the caramel but it is fun to have once in a while for a change of pace. The Lebanese veg wrap with the Zaatar spices looked scrumptious!
Dank je wel! ❤ Het was een geweldige tour samen met David en Mike. We hebben geweldige food ondernemers ontmoet en natuurlijk het heerlijke eten maakte de hele tour compleet. ❤
If Dutch people speak slowly then Afrikaans speaking South Africans can actually understand and some Afrikaans people can have a conversation as the languages are so similar. Afrikaans is basically a simplified Dutch.
You should come during the Summer, then the Albert Cuyp Market is really nice. I suggest you also visit the Dapper Market in Amsterdam East and some areas in South East Amsterdam! The food in Amsterdam is mostly foreign though, but there are places you can eat pancakes. Unfortunately nowhere that I know where you can have typical Dutch dinner. It’s mostly connected boring and mainly consumed by traditional Dutch people at the comfort of their home. ;)
Afrikaans comes from Dutch and is easy to understand compared to most languages and dialects in the Netherlands, especially when it comes to Frisian and Limburgs
I've been to all 3 however I've only filmed in Spain and I lived there for a long time also. I did do some Prague stuff a long long time ago! Germany I do need to revisit as well for a more modern series!
oh you know thats coming soon my friend lol. Honestly I have a full video running a shop for the day but it'll get demonetized and hurt the channel so likely I have to release it members only. I'm trying to figure out how I can do this without getting a strike on my channel but to be real its an epic video, at least from what I remember 🤣
This guy legit said "all traditional Dutch street food" *and then the first thing we're shown is Turkish coffee! being made in hot sand like in Turkey .. with Turkish coffee pots.* As a Dutch Turk, my Dutch bros better not start claiming Turkish coffee like the Germans have been claiming they invented Doner lol Aww no, Syrian brodi didn't just claim our Coffee... Someone bring out the Ottoman banner.
I grew up at the Albert Cuyp market, the last 20 years it has changed into a market focussed on tourists only. Nothing there reminds me anymore of the original Amsterdam style market anymore. Just one note: you are showing the fake Stroopwafel Vendors, there's only good Stroopwafel Vendor (father and son) who is located at the middle of the market. (which you did not show in the video).
I do not think the other stroopwafel vendors are fake. Everyone has a different favourite vendor and that is ok but to call other hardworking vendors fake is simply not fair. The father and son who also sell stroopwafels where not there at that day. I love there stroopwafels as well ❤
@@Davidsbeenhere aww thanks 🙏🏽 I’m heading to the Uk my moms been waiting there for me for 3 months LOL. Let me know ahead of time when you wanna come to Toronto. DO NOT COME IN JUNE-AUG the amount of tourists and THE PRICES DOUBLE UP! Just saying you can do whatever you want but DEF NOT WORTH TGE VISIT DURING THOSE MONTHS 😏 and I also wish you 100,000 blessings 🙌🏽
The Real Story about Albert Cuyp You should have been here 30 years ago, or 50 years ago, and then you would have seen a market full with farmers stuff, chicken, fish (from the sea, duh), vegetables, fruit, nuts, pickles, patat, all kind a food, food, food, food. But today, the market is in a steep decline, the farmers cannot compete with grocery stores, so the farmers seldom sell at a market. The empty places left behind are then filled with people selling all kind of imported cheap stuff (glasses, shirts, electronics, ...) from Asia. If you would you could start selling stuff at the Albert Cuyp markt tomorrow, there is enough place. Albert Cuyp is our most famous market, but is dying, and nobody knows how to revive it. Not as famous as Albert Cuyp markt but much better: - Foodhallen (De Hallen) & Ten Kate markt - IJ hallen - Dappermarkt
That Lebanese pizza looks rich in texture. I’m curious what the black sauce is? I'm more curious, did you eat the Pomegranate seeds? Don't your teeth hurt when you bite them? Watching you eat Herring, it feels like watching a baby seal eat, haha! Thank you for sharing such a great market, way to go! 👍🤩👏
Always fascinated by the Netherlands....and I'm surprised by the foods from various countries there...to suit everyone...also the gentleman starting his own shop is really to be admired...always love to see markets...so colorful and tulips...so pretty!!!...enjoying this series....Thanks David...be safe....Peace.
