My Nigerian Family tries out Dutch food for the first time.... We were Surprised 🙃 

Your husband's Dutch is very impressive for someone that's only lived here for 2 years. Hats off to him, wow!

That was fun! Your son is such a lovely boy! Props for your husband's Dutch, it sounds great! The draadjesvlees (pulled beef) and aardappelpuree (mashed potatoes) and rode kool (red cabbage) combines very well together. Most Dutch dishes like these are meant to combine all the elements, as the more salty element like gravy or the pulled beef should support the more bland elements like the stamppot or mashed potatoes or vegetables. Spices in these dishes are often nutmeg (in boerenkool stamppot or mashed potatoes for example) and cinnamon and cloves and bayleaf /laurel is put in the red cabbage, and made easy if you melt a slice of ontbijtkoek in to it. Often pieces of apple are also used in the red cabbage. I always find this a very tasty dish.

Het Nederlands van je man klinkt echt super! And your son is so adorable!

I am dutch but never eat very typical Dutch food. The thing I really love in the Netherlands is that we have a lot of food opportunities. I never really realised this, until my nephew moved to Italy and couldn't find any foods from Thailand or basically anything from another country. We send him a care package very often. But we can get a lot of international food in the supermarket, like indian sauces and chutneys or Italian pasta. If you can't find it in a regular supermarket you probably find it in a toko (specific supermarkets like Turkish toko or the Asian toko). I love that I can eat so diverse here. I made Akara (acaraje) a few weeks ago. The Netherlands is also very vegan friendly!

My BF is Nigerian and I’m Dutch. He can’t cook so I always take care of it. I cook many different things, I even try to prepare Nigerian stew sometimes but I need to practice it more. My BF loves my food though! The only thing he always says is: where’s the spice? It’s not spicy enough! 😅 I can’t handle spice at all so I don’t put much in. It’s very nice learning about Nigerian culture!

You should totally make stamppot with bacon bits in it! I also sometimes make sweet potato stamppot with broccoli and pieces of smoked chicken, it’s great for more of a summery version 😋

I’m Congolese and Dutch. It’s so fun letting my family try Dutch food. My grandmother always made food for the family, but for my Dutch mom she always cooked three potatoes when she came to visit. It’s so nice seeing opposite cultures collide and mingle. 🥰❤️

wow! you're husbands dutch!! amazing to learn it so fast he must have a real talent for languages! fun to watch you all try our dutchy food. love you channel

Wow, I love your vibe! Great tasting video and your husbands Dutch is great. Pronunciation is on point! Probs for him after just 2 years.

I’m happy that there are some people that aren’t American but speak English but live in a country that doesn’t speak English, I’m am the exact same I love that your husband in learning Dutch I’m been living in the Netherlands for 1 year and almost a half and I’m still learning like you, keep it up love you guys❤️ Edit: btw, this is my first time watching you guys, and I already love your vids💕

I love that you guys try to speak dutch, loved watching you guys keep up the great work!

First time watching your channel. And now I'm curious about Nigerian food! The mashed potato is often bland-ish to be a neutral part of dinner, so that other things can be extra tasty, and the blander component balances it out. But there are also MANY versions of the mash. In more modern days the Dutch are learning to use more and more spices.

You are such a beautiful family. And your husband’s Dutch is great.

Love this. Ps. Your hubby speaks Dutch very eloquently, respect! Hope you try more of this. Also: combine spices (and any other veggies) you like with the potatoes, to do your own twist on the stamppot!

Your family radiates love. A joy to watch!

Wat een mooie gezin! Wat een schattig kindje hebben jullie 🥰 Eng: what a beautiful family, and what a cute kid you have 🥰

This eyelook looks stunning on you!

You are so beautiful! Love the eyeshadow color as well :)

Great video! Im Dutch and sometimes I eat traditional Dutch food, mostly in Winter, but actually I also love to cook more foreign food, as a lot of Dutch people do as well.. I like Asian and Italian and a while ago I made an amazing jollof rice, lovely 😃

I love the way my family prepares red cabbage. We do not only add apples, as is tradition in the netherlands, but we also add raisins, cinnamon and a bunch of sugar. it's basicly a dessert at that point and it's so good!

you have a awesome family..i am glad for you people.

Wow youre husbands Dutch is really good, we appreciate that. It is fun to see how you guys try and really experience Dutch culture, great video.

Beautiful family ! Really enjoyed the video

Geweldig 😊. Leuk om te kijken. Ik word er vrolijk van 😊.

I’m new to your channel and I’m loving it so much. I looking forward to watching your videos. I must say, you have a beaut family. 🥰🙏🏾

Your husbands Dutch is very good, and he’s spot on with the meatball: when eating at home, many people cut up the meatball, and mix it through the stamppot.

His dutch is really really good, i'm impressed!

I love this! You have such a nice family!

You all make for a beautiful family. Your son is adorable. Thank you for reviewing the food.

How cute is this family! 🥰

you really made me laugh! what a nice video and super nice that you live in the Netherlands welcome❤️

Hahah gezellig, fijne tijd samen🤗

Lord what a joyous, gorgeous family…. I’m visiting the Netherlands (grew up in Amsterdam and Lelystad) after 29 years and I will visit the restaurant in video. You guys were so generous with your points - lovely

Never saw your channel before but I really liked the video! And i never watch these kinds of videos but I think I will watch more of yours! Always nice to hear that people from other countries also like dutch food :) (even tho it doesnt always look delicious) also, you look is gorgeous and you have an amazing vibe❤️

Thank you for having me for diner with your beautiful family! I am glad you enjoyed it.

draadjes vlees, im hearing straatjes vlees the translated as little streetmeat 😁 GehaktKruiden 2 Tbsp Nutmeg powder 2 Tbsp Whitepepper powder 2 Tbsp Salt 2 Tbsp Ginger powder Half Tbsp Garlic powder Half Tbsp Koriander powder half Tbsp Paprika powder half Tbsp Onion powder

i´m dutch myself and i think the last ´´green stuff´´ you tried is spinach with egg

I know that place. I used to come there quite a lot when I was a student. Simple, hearty food that would make you feel at home, it's like finding a place on Sicily where they don't serve pizza. Traditional Dutch food does in fact not contain a lot of spices which may seem a bit odd because of the history people read about, but the spices that came in from south-east Asia where really only for the rich. To add more flavour regular people could use local grown items like mustard, horseradish, celery and onion. So the first dish you had was a meatball with `spruitjesstamppot`, a mash made from potatoes and in this case brussels sprouts. I don't think these are in season now, so I'm not sure why. Probably to offer variation to regular customers. The most common variant of stamppot is with kale (boerenkoolstamppot), followed by carrot and onion (peen-en-ui, hutspot) and raw escarole/endive (andijviestamppot; the fragile leafs will already cook from being incorporated in the hot potato mash). The meat in the second dish is called draadjesvlees (in Spanish ropa vieja) or stoofvlees (braised beef). It's one of my family's favourites and fairly cheap to make if you're not counting time. The last one, yes that is shredded spinach. It doesn't have a lot of taste and I think that the egg is added to give you the idea that you should chew on it. If someone knows different, please share.

What a beautiful family you are 👌👍✌️Nice video

Glad to have found your channel! Love seeing black creators in the NL ✨️🤩

Realy like this video and you are great people.

Haha this is so fun to watch as a Dutchie. Love how you try to say draadjesvlees ♥️ you should also try the Hema hotdog!

This is my first time i visiting your channel, and i really enjoyed it. And you have a cute little son

What a lovely family ❤️ and you are such a beautiful woman 😊 bless you all

Beautiful people!

What a beautiful family!!

Your husbands dutch is very good! So happy you liked the food 🤗

First time watching a video of yours. I’m from the Netherlands myself born and raised. This was very fun to watch. I grew up eating lost of different foods because my mom is a cook, we actually rarely ate dutch food. I liked the video and look forward to see more. ❤️❤️ Your husband’s dutch is very good btw.

great video. And you guys look so sweet! You have a certain vibe i really like..it just looks like you are shining hapiness....and you husband is really nice and calm as well 👍

I just discovered your channel and I love it!🤩 Your husband’s Dutch is pretty good, considering you’ve lived here for only 2 years👍🏼👌🏼 Keep up the good work and maybe try poffertjes and hollandse pannenkoeken next time😁

Wauw you guys look so happy beautiful family

First time on your channel and what a lovely videos! I really enjoyed watching your videos. Also funny to see, as a Dutchie myself :-)

This looks good. I wanna taste. And your family is beautiful. ❤

You are so beautiful!! (and your family as a whole is too) The rode kool with draadjesvlees and mashed potatoes is something I really, really love when my mom makes it during winter! It's such a comfy kind of meal on a cold day. I hope you get to try ''stoofvlees'' some time, now that is something I also really really love during colder days~ (edit to clarify: my mom makes stamppot from the red cabbage with mashed potatoes, and then we add either stoofvlees or draadjesvlees, it's amazing!) I said it in agreement with the top comment already; but your husband speaks Dutch incredibly well!

Omg I loved this video! This video Just popped up. And I love your video I subcribe (I'm actually Dutch) Groetjes Yvon

Good to see you guys in Delft. 😇

Nice family, i think the first time I actually seen people respond positive to Dutch food.

The way your baby laughed everytime you two laughed at a joke

Ooh your son is such a CUTIE!!!!!

His dutch is amazing! You guys are a cute family!

The second dish is called 'draadjesvlees'. The meat is stewed for several hours and will fall apart mostly and will look like strings. So strings is draadjes and vlees is meat. To make the meatballs you need groundbeef with the preference to half beef and half pork. A lot of butter like croma from the fridge, an egg and bread crumbs. If you like you can mix it with an chopped onion and some other herbs. Mix everything well and make balls of it. Put a big amount of butter in the pan and make sure the butter is all melted and becomes a little brown so your sure that it's ready to cook in. Put the balls in the pan, turn them a couple of times, so they're all becoming brown from the outside. Now turn down the heat of the stove so the inside will be cooked as well. The balls are swimming in the gravy that we love to mix with de boiled or mushed potatoes.

this is the first time i see a video from you. and I'm glad you guys are having so much fun. and have a good time in our beautiful country. we really appreciate people like you. an addition to our beautiful country

You seem like such a nice little family🥰 and your husband's dutch is really good! Stamppot, or dutch food in general goes well with the cold weather I think😁

Jullie zijn al heel goed geïntrigeerd. Mooi hoor!😀

So cute! The secret to enjoying all this food is to make it swim in the sauce. The stampot is always potatoes with the vegetables mashed into them. Mashing is an activity you see all Dutch people do. I enjoyed your video so much!

Omg you have the cutest family

Loved watching this 😂 do you have any videos showing some traditional Nigerian meals you like to serve your family? ❤

I love this video have a blessed day

Really nice video haha there is something weirdly nice about watching people eat ahah

I like your flogs so much! You have such a positive vibe and you have a lovely family. We combine apple with the red cabage and make a hole in the the mashed potatoes for the gravy. We slow cook for 2 1/2 hout the "riblap" that's how it's named when you buy IT at the butcher. With herbs,, spices and onions.

Nice, when I lived in Delft we ate there several times. But that is at least 20 years ago... we need to go back sometimes.

👏🏻for your husband's Dutch. Fun you tried the Dutch dishes. The boerenkoolstampot is the best.

Nice video! The second dish had draadjesvlees. You pronounced it a bit like Straatjesvlees 😉. With stamppot you can experiment a lot. Your husband's dutch is excellent!

draadjesvlees!! (beef) What a fun video again!

Hey Greetings from China! Really love your toothy smile!! I just watched your other video recommending doing PHD in Netherlands. Thank you for helping me make the decision to study there once I finish my master's degree. PS: Your son is so cute! 😘

This was a lot of fun to watch. Naija in the house but I love Stampot. Please also do a video on desserts. Dutch desserts (toetjes) are lovely! You could start with "vla" as there are lots of different flavours and maybe different kinds of puddings. And Dutch Apple Pie is the best in the world😁 (obviously I am an Appeltaart junkie;-)

Wat zijn jullie leuk!!!!❤❤❤

this is so much fun to watch!

Love it!! Im from Holland :) :)

I like that even though you both prefer your own traditional foods you truly tried Dutch food. I haven’t tried it before and now I look forward to doing so one day. The meatballs sounded like they were the most delicious. Good luck to you and your family ❤

They are lucky to have you in the Netherlands :)

Nice video leuk dat jullie ook oefenen met Nederlands praten ( Nice that you are practicing speaking dutch).

it's about time to try some Dutch food :D and it's "draadjesvlees", but hats off to you trying Dutch food and your husband's Dutch is impressive!!

Nice video! A sister from the Netherlands ❤️

I’m from the Netherlands and I liked the video so Mutch! U guys are great! Your husband Dutch language is great! The call the meat: draadjesvlees. It’s like beef and the pull it. So it’s a kind of pulled pork, only is it beef. 😂 I’m sorry if not all my English is right. I hope u understand it a bit!💕

The stuff on top of the smashed patatoes in the first dish is called Piccalilly. It's actually not Dutch, but we use to put in our dishes, like draadjesvlees, stamppot and speklappen (kind of bacon).

Love it

researchers said in general dutch people are shrinking one of the causes according to them is fast food. Dutch cuisine can be kind of lame and not spiced but its very nutritious

Im new to your channel but love your videos already 🥰 i also live in delft and i have been wanted to try the restaurant you went to! I will for sure now

I would say that the most popular stamppots are: stamppot zuurkool (it's with saurkraut), hutspot (it's with different kinds of cabbage) and Stamppot Boerenkool (it's with kale). All of the taste wonderful in the winter with some nice thick gravy and a smoked sausage. I'd love for you to try traditional split pea soup as we make it here. It's so full with wonderful things.

With stampot you should push a shallow hole in the stampot and fill it with gravy. And you scoop some stampot with gravy.

Now I can't wait to try Dutch food lol. I will definitely try them when I get to the Netherlands.

Congrats on 1k

Draadjesvlees en rode kool :) green stuff is spinazie met gekookte eitje

I’m really impressed that you liked the stampot so bad 😂 I’m Arabic and Dutch and I do not rlly like stampot. You should try friekandel broodje it’s also a Dutch thing! X

This is a nice video! I live also in the netherlands. But i am originally from Canada. But i live here a long time now. my mom's meatballs are amazingly tasty. wish you could taste it! You are a sweet family. And your husband his netherlands is really good!

The green vegetable with eggs is spinache, I like to mix it with the potatoes and the gravy.

Everybody can mash potatoes. Making a good meatball is another story :D

Leuk leuk! En leuk jullie Nederlands te horen praten @ RU-vid,

I love the stamppot too ... I'm American, so grew up on pretty much the same kind of diet (meat, potatoes, vegetable). I learned to LOVE sauerkraut though by combining it with mashed potatoes like the Dutch do (aldus stamppot). I never eat mashed potatoes plain anymore and if you want to make them taste even better, add 'spekies' to them. Bedankt aan Jan Hollander voor het lekker eten.
