When you move abroad, you may expect that the food will be different in a different culture. However, when I moved to the Netherlands, and even when I would travel to the Netherlands, I realized that there were lots of little difference between the US and The Netherlands that I didn't know about as an American. I am always surprised and fascinated by the little cultural differences, and that's what I talk about in this video!

I like to share my experiences of an American expat in the Netherlands. I describe both the unique and everyday aspects of Dutch culture, and life in Holland while enjoying every bit of it!

As a dutchman, I can say with confidence that only barbarians eat burgers with cutlery.

Boterham is not necessarily an "open faced sandwich". It is one slice of bread but it is still a boterham if you mash something between two halves of a boterham either by cutting the boterham in half or folding it (mostly done in a straight line not diagonally like a lot of sandwiches). You don't for example take an open faced boterham to work in your broodtrommel, but usually a folded boterham with something in between. Colleagues might ask "Wat heb jij vandaag op je boterham?". So yeah, like half a sandwich but not in a wedge shape. Okay, I will stop rambling now.

Patatje oorlog is pinda saus (a peanut saus) mayonaise and raw onions. The ketchup/curry and mayo combo is called patatje speciaal

I object to kroketten being made of dough it is ragout in breading. As a result, there is a lot of variation in this as well.

I'm a dutch chef and boy would I love to teach you all about Dutch food culture. Don't get me wrong, I don't like it all that much myself, but it does have one hell of a history

@essie23la 3 года назад

what you were describing as patatje oorlog is actually called "friet speciaal", patatje oorlog is mayo, peanut sauce and onion ;)

I don't think most people have just fries for dinner? Usually you'd have some kind of meat like a frikadel or kroket with it, but yeah the fries are kind of the main dish. (or like a patatje oorlog, but not just plain fries)

Obviously the best of both worlds would be to eat American pancakes for breakfast and Dutch pancakes for dinner. And for lunch.... maybe poffertjes???

Ava once they are open again try a pannenkoekenhuis. You'll be amazed about all the stuff we Dutchies like to bake into or put on our pancakes.

Not all Dutch people are the same Ava. :)

We used to have this kind of 'American' bread, too, in the 1950's - 1980's. It was 'factory bread'. It was like you described American bread. Then some people started to buy their bread with bakeries again and they started to blossom and flourish. This is when supermarkets, especially AH, disbanded factory bread and started to bake bread in the supermarkets themselves. The pre-baked bread was baked to finish (baked off or 'afbakken'). This was a highly successful formula because it was found that the smell of freshly baked bread in the shop had an immensely positive effect on the shopping experience and, from that, the number of items a consumer would buy in that supermarket. This is why an AH has two or three 'baking cycles' in a shop. Also, the types of bread changed significantly, even to the point that 'ordinary' bread like the ubiquitous staple of the 1950's to the 1970's has all but disappeared. It is one part of the transition from unhealthy to healthy food stuff in North-Western Europe.

not wanting cheese because it's for breakfast? does not compute.

Even McDonald’s has a McKroket in The Netherlands. A bun with a kroket and a mustard sauce.

When your stomach says: “Really? You are eying a sixth pancake?”. That is about the amount you can eat.

I'm Dutch, but... who the heck eats their pizza with knife & fork....?? They come in slices so no cutting necessary....... It's face-stuffing food...

@JowDokus 3 года назад

Unox has vegetarian Rookworst! You can probably just buy it at your local Albert Heijn :) You should really try stampot some time. It's not really sophisticated, but in winter it's a real warm and comfy food.

@TheNewPatsyBailey 3 года назад

Eating pizza with a knife and fork??? That's just wrong. Every Dutch person I know eats slices with their hands, we even fold it sometimes like you did 😄

If you're ever in a pannekoekenhuis, you can try pannekoek with banana and cointrau. A very sweet heaven :)

Do not get your bread from a super market, go to a bakery instead. It might be more expensive but the bread is so much better!
