@rose rose Zit gewoon in je hoofd, als je een Hollandse Nieuwe in plakjes snijdt en op een balletje rijst legt dan eten mensen het zo op. Geen gek idee trouwens.
Technically that is possible, but it's an incredible amount of extra work, that I don't have the time for unfortunately... Neverthless thank you for the suggestion.
Im from the Netherlands 2 and if I see someone eat it like that, I throw up or I leave the room. I hate fish 🤣 except fish fingers, shrimps and 'kibbeling' BUT I HATE HERRING/HARING🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love herring! In the Netherlands it's soooooo good! Actually in Russia herring is very popular as well. I'm really surprised at the Russians' reaction in the video🤔
Scientists have discovered that the reason for this is, by the fashion the Dutch eat it, the freshly-chopped onions will be near the eyes. Having your head tilted back, the tears draw backward and end up in the oral cavity, both watering the mouth and already including some salt. The long-term effect is to make the Dutch anticipate the salty herring; in the short term it desensitizes the mouth so that the overly-salted herring tastes only a little more salty.
It has been known in Poland for centuries, not only as the basis of diets during periods of fasting, but also a tasty and healthy snack. Even before 1939, restaurants served it as an appetiser before lunch, usually with a shot of cold vodka.
That's interesting. It's also centuries old here in The Netherlands. Perhaps we had some interaction one way or the other. We had a strong connection through trade by the Hanseatic League, shipping grain from Poland to Dutch ports (something which is still ongoing today). Gdansk had a considerable sized Dutch community with influence afaik (traders). One of my ancestors came from there. Trade was done all the way along the coast up to the Baltic Sea.
Everywhere along the north sea and baltic coast. Scandinavia, Baltics, Poland, Northern Germany. There's so much herring in the seas here. I bet it started because some of the fishers got hungry and just started eating raw fish by grabbing it from the tail and they were like, hey this is pretty good.
When I was young, my grandparents and I went to the market on every friday. And I always ate 2 herrings. I loved it then and I still love it now. I can eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner
It's delicious and healthy too, because of the high amounts of fatty acids (omega 3, 6 and 9) that (raw) that the herrings contain. A good, juicy and tender herring is, like an oister and caviar a real treat, but less expensive. I like it for breakfast, and then I'll have two of them. Yummie!
LMAO as a dutch being, I love herring. But I can imagine that I would be just as horrified with fried crickets and spiders or thick juicy worms that are very normal delicacies in other cultures.
I'm Japanese and my Dutch bf told me about herring. For me that looks delicious ( because of I'm used to eat raw fish.) I'm so curious how it tastes, and looking forward to try it one day:)
Delicious! And it’s not raw actually but fermented in salt 🤤 “The Dutch eat it all at once” No, we don’t. Herring is expensive so small bites make it last longer. And dip in onions between bites!
I'm Dutch and loves it. Since I live in Asia, it's the first thing I eat when I'm back. Delicious and so healthy. My granny gave it to me when I was sick. You recover almost the next day.
I was station in the Netherlands in the U S Army at a small NATO ( NAVO ) base in Brunssum in 1968-70. Had the most fun in my life. In Limburg provience the very southern part. I just love the stuff with onions. I got married to a dutch woman from Grevenbicht. o god every time we would visit couldn't wait to go to the frites stand. Another is the frikandel. Russia had herring too and Germany also. I want to jump on a plane and fly over there now. My taste buds is screaming for it now. The dutch people is the best.
Try Serbian food, your countryman Charles Cather, look for him on YT he lives there for like 10 years and he has some stuff on food, the place etc. You might visit it one day, one caution, never tell them you are from US, Americans are not that welcome in those part of the world.Tell them you are Canadian.
It seems to me quite a lot like the ‘sill’ that we eat here in Sweden and Finland - and which is absolutely delicious. I’m quite sure that I would like this Dutch delicacy. Even though the ‘sill’ up here is seasoned with different kinds of spices to make it more tasty, which it is. The basic idea however seems to be quite the same.
I tried my first pickled herring in a Koninginnedag back in 90s, and I love it. back then I ate at least five. Always eat it every time I had chance. I missed Netherlands and its pickled herring.
In June the herring harvest arrives with a festival, and that's the actual 'Hollandse Nieuwe' or Dutch New. It can be called that untill september. Those are the fresh ones and least cured. After that, it's just herring. This year, we had exceptional fatty herring, absolute delight.
1. Bart: I am going to teach you a new dutch word. MIAAAAU :D 2. This video reminded me of Jacques Brel's Dans le port d'Amsterdam Y a des marins qui mangent...
so the reason Dutch Herring exists is because back in the day we didn't have good preservatives to keep fish fresh and good for long. in order to not make the fish go to waste they where put into barrels with chopped unions. the chopped unions partially preserve the fish because of its sourness and the unions its taste and smell are/where stronger then the rotting fish allowing for easy consumption even after months of being in a barrel. today the oil/union preserved fish is a national dish and treat of times past. for anyone wondering how it tastes its more oily and union then raw fish, its sour and thanks to the unions a bit sweet its a surprisingly refreshing dish that indeed goes well after or whilst a day of drinking the unions and sourness and oils help stave away an upset stomach and can help you not get nauseas.
It's very healthy, i used to hate this as a kid but now i eat it at least once a week. It's mouthwatering good. Very fatty, moist, salty and tender. I prefer to eat it with onions though.
do it! my girlfriend wants to try as well but she's scared at the same time haha. every time I see herring and ask her she's like "no no I'm not ready now" hahaha
@@cristina_garcia Believe me, I can! Yes, I don't like herring, but that's not the point. The point is, they're always acting like toddlers. Watch the other video's and you'll see what I mean. 😉
@@LeonKerkdijk Ja, je hebt reden. Ik heb andere filmpjes gezien. Ze bent ook veel grappig voor mij. 😂 I thought that you only meant about herring before.
@@ricriclop did you saw that video about the sound of animals in Dutch? This woman said "koe" and made the sound of a fart because she said that the meaning in Portuguese is ass. I found it very very childish. But I couldn't help laughing. 🤦♀️
Dutch haring is the most delicious herring, but I know many Dutch people who don’t like it, they never eat it, so react just like the Brazilians in this video
I love how people all are ready and willing to eat highly processed industrial food, but a filleted and cleaned salted Fish is seen as something not fit for consumption.
Ik heb mijn Nederlandse man een haring met mosterd-honing sousse, gemarineerd uitjes en aardappel geleerd eten. Ook met zwarte brod en vodka.. super lekker! Klote werkwoorden ....
It's actually one of the very few things I do miss, living abroad. I always eat it with lots of onion. It's delicious. Another thing I miss are fresh stroopwafels. The packaged ones are just not really worth it for me.
This is not representative of the Herring sold in the Netherlands. These are much larger than what is sold and too big to eat in one gulp. I would be reluctant to eat what they gave you too. This is what you get when you want views over truth.
Olhem. Eu não quero saber o que pensam maaaar ....IK hou van harring!!! Lekker gesellig!!! I buy it from a Dutch shop in Portugal. Maravilha!!!! Dank je :)
I've eaten herring a couple of times in the Netherlands and it was delicious. It is served with sweet chopped onions and pickles. Yummy yummy! I don't understand why so many people are that prejudicious about herring... Greetings from Istanbul, Turkey!
You should have put onions on it before, and maybe with some pickles as well (amsterdam way) as it looks more inviting to eat for people who never had raw fish
Salted haring is very tasty, very tender, very nutricious and very healthy as well because of the omega 3 and 6 within its fat. I buy them regularly and have two of them for breakfast or lunch on a slice of bread. Yum!
Oh, come on... It's raw. That's not for everyone. I saw many Dutch dishes I would love to try because they look delicious, but this is not one of them.
Normally this gets served with union and pieces of pickle. So you already diddent gave them a real feel of it. Then to say dutch people eat it a certain way is wrong. Since there is a Amsterdam way and a Rotterdam way. Most people i know eat it it cutt with knife and fork or in een "broodje" So the video is bullshit on its own already..
Only people in and around Amsterdam eat herring with onion and pickles. The rest of the Netherlands eat it with just onion. Although when you have really good quality herring you don't even add the onion. (In the past onion was added by salespeople to hide that the herring was getting old and starting to smell bad. And it became part of the tradition even though we can now cool the herring to prevent it getting bad) And again it is typically in Amsterdam where they cut the herring and you eat the pieces using the little flag. Probably because if you hold it by the tail the pickles would fall off. (the little pieces of onion will stick) The only part of the video that is bullshit, is that the Dutch would eat it in one gulp.
I'm pretty sure that in Belgium you can find "Hollandse maatjes" as well. According to Wikipedia however "Hollandse nieuwe" is a seasonal version of the "Holland maatje"? Don't think that disctinction is made here.
