Here in Europe, theyre stricter on preservatives and E numbers which might explain the taste difference in food.

[@danielkallman8600]

and why its more expensive. in our fries there are only potatoes in andf in the american fries they have a bunch of extra taste enhacer.

[@deetgeluid]

E numbers ARE European.

[@ianpunchard2878]

i love this episode.... its an alnost a behind the scenes... you two know how to (in an amusing way) know how to grind each others gears... but most of all you can tell how compatible and in love you are

[@annemieverhoeven2566]

The 'kroket' (croquette) is a deep fried roll with meat ragout inside, covered in breadcrumbs. The original Dutch croquette is made from beef or veal, but there are many different flavors like chicken satay, shrimps, goulash or even a vegetarian version.

[@Mandastar33]

It's the mouth full of fries at the end 😂😂 Thanks for another amazing vlog! Love you guys!

THIS IS WHAT YOU NEED: For the meat: liquid cooking butter approx. 400 g soup meat 1 bay leaf 1 onion, coarsely chopped pepper and salt thyme cloves 1 stock cube dash of red wine 1 tomato, cut into quarters For the filling: 700 ml water with 1 beef stock cube 1 onion, very finely chopped 160 g butter 160g flour plus extra for breading fresh lovage and parsley, both finely chopped spices: thyme, nutmeg, cloves, roasting and grilling spices, mace, pepper, salt For breading: 3 eggs flower 1 pack of Panko (coarse Japanese breadcrumbs, available in large supermarkets) This recipe is for 20-22 croquettes. HOW TO PROCEED: Place a generous dash of liquid butter in a sturdy frying pan. Then fry a nice piece of soup meat until brown on all sides. Add the remaining ingredients, bring to the boil and then reduce the heat to as low as possible (use a flame diffuser if you have one). Let the meat stew quietly for four hours. Turn the meat occasionally. Remove the meat from the pan and let it cool slightly. Then cut it as finely as possible. You can also use other beef or leftover rib steak or steak. STEP 2 Make a stock from 700 milliliters of boiling water and a beef stock cube. Melt the butter in a pan, but do not let it brown. Add the onion and fry briefly until translucent. Reduce the heat. Add all the flour at once and stir with a wooden spatula to form a paste. Keep the heat low. Keep stirring and let the flour cook for a few minutes. Then start adding the stock. In the beginning, a little liquid is added; keep stirring until you get a smooth paste, there should be no lumps. As more liquid is added, more liquid can be added. However, wait each time until the liquid has been completely absorbed and has simmered. STEP 3 Stir the finely chopped meat into the thick sauce. Also add the finely chopped herbs and spices to taste. Now it's important to taste! Add more herbs and spices to taste. STEP 4 Now let the mixture cool completely. Spread it over a baking tray and put it in the freezer for half an hour. Don't let it freeze completely, but let it get really cold. Then you can roll it better later. STEP 5 Prepare two deep plates: one with flour and one with beaten egg (add a little salt to this to make it easier). Also prepare a deep container (for example an oven dish) with the breadcrumbs and a wooden board for rolling. Remove the ragout from the freezer just before processing. Using your hands, form the mixture into balls of approximately 4 centimeters in diameter. Roll these out into sticks on a floured wooden board. STEP 6 Now bread the croquettes. Dip the sticks first in the flour, then in the egg and finally in the breadcrumbs. This is really a job for two people: one rolls, the other breads. Make sure that the croquettes are completely breaded, so that there are no cracks in the crust during frying. FINAL RESULT The croquettes are now ready. You can fry them immediately or store them in the freezer. Then take them out of the freezer two hours before baking and let them thaw slowly. Very tasty with coarse mustard and a slice of white bread.

Im in the uk snd i cant believe usa doesnt have the wraps ... We have a wrap of the day here that's only £1.99 and about 6 different flavours to choose from in general

[@z.b.95]

The Double Big Tasty with Bacon is the best burger in Mac Donalds Europe. It's also the most favourite😁 You two would love the Big Tasty

Visiting Amsterdam for the first time on Thursday for a long weekend, loved watching your little tours and food hauls ❤

[@Lorabora723]

Yay! Germany! Can't wait to hear where you're going!

[@woutersplinter4981]

You have to realise that you are in Amsterdam and in Amsterdam everything is more expensive compared to the rest of the Netherlands...

[@woutersplinter4981]

Ow and you can find all these items also in the rest of our country, not only the capital.. So it should be : The Netherlands vs. USA, not Amsterdam vs. USA....

[@AmberV1978]

Thats totally not true..

[@woutersplinter4981]

@@AmberV1978 I am sorry but it is... When I am in de Randstad to visit family I pay more for groceries compared to the North. Items are really more expensive and so are restaurants and cafés

[@MiguelJW]

They don’t eat houses… cause those are more expensive in Amsterdam!

[@TomPotman]

My mcdonalds cost more

[@rinynewton8297]

Next time you are in Amsterdam. Don't sit in your hotel eating McDonald's but go out and enjoy the nightlife!

[@Lorabora723]

So did kalani go back to count every bite Sav took? 😂 I'm team Sav on this one! She definitely carried her weight!

[@bryanblanton2046]

My #1favorite thing from McDonald's is definitely the fish filet. I normally ask for extra tarter sauce. My 2nd favorite thing is the quarter pounder. And my favorite sauce is the Hot Mustard and the Sweet&Sour. You guys are pretty cool. Definitely looking forward to watching more videos and subscribing.

[@barbg5426]

Thanks for another great video, and I'd love to try those cake pops for sure!

Good thing you guys didn't have that missing sandwich!! Sav was sooo over this!!! 😂 Love the content guys!! The big wrap would be what I would wanna try!!

[@avaricioussoul]

That's so much food! I would want to try the wrap.

[@z.b.95]

Since this year, we have this 'sauce tubes', but we had your packaging before. Everyone was mad here because of the incovenience. You are the first people I see who are happy with the 'tubes'😁😂 Ps: I live up north and the mac is way cheaper. Still more expensive than the US, but cheaper than Amsterdam

[@ulysses2162]

Try the honey mustard dips from Dominos Pizza in the UK, it's banging!

[@flawedgenius]

Amsterdam is my home from home and McDonald's there is a guilty pleasure of mine on solo trips (maybe because its good people watching depending on location)

[@daimyojay]

The old honey mustard sauce was much better then they have now. but thats me. I also miss the Meastro burger.

[@laurajohnson5745]

You two are so brave!

[@deetgeluid]

The filling of a kroket is called Salpicon. It’s thicker than a Ragout, and when chilled, it’s easy to shape and bread.

[@Katielou89]

I was in your live this morning when you ordered all this 💖 we have sweet and sour and a curry sauce in UK McDonald's 🇬🇧 they're my favourites. Never tried the sweet chilli as don't think that one has been available, but it looks 👌 🔥

[@natp3360]

We have sweet chilli in UK Macdonald's but it's charged for if you order it , used to be 20p now it's 70p a pot 😢

[@MiguelJW]

The McKroket has been off the menu for a very long time. The first European McDonald's opened in the Netherlands in 1971. At that time there was apple sauce, pea soup and the McKroket on the menu. This burger didn't come back until around 1999! It is one of the most popular burgers in the Netherlands. I love it too!

[@djelchaval]

You had the filet o fish deluxe thats why it has lettuce and tomato .. also de quarter pounder the mc chicken comes in that version .. it’s a limited item at mc donalds these days

[@shawna5354]

That is how much it costs to feed me and my 5 boys! Lol Y'all had to try it all tho to compare! 👍🏼💯💟💜

go to bournemouth in the south of the Uk and also try slim chickens

[@justskylarr]

🤣🤣🤣 Savanah ate her share forsure

[@marcovtjev]

Kroket filling is supposed to be calf/veal ragout. Usually eaten with mustard as condiment. There are also orange filling, which is supposed to be goulash ragout.

[@journeywithchong]

I’d call and get a refund on that missing sandwich lol.

[@MLWJ1993]

The best part about the MC Donald's fritesaus is that they used to call it "American Fritesaus', yet America serves ketchup with their fries... 😂 It's basically a less fat (more water) herbed "mayonnaise".

Have you done a UK vs US Maccies/Burger King or KFC?

Wow, just looking at the thumbnail, that's a proper Macbang! :)

Food is not just about quantity, guys.

[@milcosucculents]

Nice comparison but the truth is you didn't use your app on your phone. Is the same at the Albert Heijn (AH groceries store) if you are a member it's much cheaper 😁

[@angelagarner7585]

Love your videos. But I have a suggestion for you guys. Do you guys like Doritos? If so you guys have to try the loaded taco flavored Doritos. Omg so good. So look out for those. Btw the fillet o fish is my fave to. They have cheese and tartar sauce on the fish. Your making me want McDonald's lol 😂😂

[@rmyikzelf5604]

Not gravy. It's a ragout.

[@OprechtLetterlijkBizar]

That’s basically the same thing in the US.

[@Ilske]

And the ragout is not injected😂. It is breaded cold, so the ragout is more solid.

[@southerntrailerhoodwrestli366]

Hopefully them having the spicy nuggets will mean they're going to be coming back to the US soon! They are my bf's favorite!

[@sallymander2295]

I want the sauces!!!

[@Wealth28]

you missed out on the big tasty man

[@crispyri]

You forgot the duch French fry sauce it's like a mayonnaise with herbs in it

[@aidancasey3018]

to be honest an egg is an egg. the main flavour difference in an egg would be the oil used to fry it.

[@delanoscharff9610]

The egg tastes the same? My gosh😮 u would almost think the american and dutch egg is both from a chicken!😂

[@Erock1980w4]

Also there are a lot of food items that are banned or illegal in the UK like red 40, and i think the milk is diffent there too bc of something in the milk over here in the US. I bet thats why so many food items tastes better, cause it doesn't have a bunch of hormones and dyes ect in it. The crunchbof the nuggets is great beings i can hear the crunch. Lol

[@blinkachu5275]

If you want actual spicy, go to an Indonesian restaurant in the Netherlands and order any of their curries. Vindaloo is probably one of the best in that regard, genuinely spicy As someone who's Dutch but has Indonesian heritage it sucks how hard it is to find good spicy food here so I usually just make stuff myself. McDonald's had a Tabasco Burger a few years ago that was really good but sadly they took it out of the rotation

[@MiguelJW]

Indonesian curries?!😂 never heard of it as an Indo myself… i think you mean Thai Curry?! But i’m pretty sure this couple already tried that out in the US..

Spice here in the Netherlands is not the spices you are used to in the US. Spicy in the US is usually hot! But spicy here in the Netherlands means spicy as in added different spices not in heat!

[@Jfat69]

Mc Donalds is one of the worst companies in Europe getting your order right. They just don't care. Especially when you order the fish burger they just tell you a half hour later they forgot it.

[@MLWJ1993]

If you don't take out & they forget something or mix your order up with someone else's they usually come by your table & give you the ordered item & you get to eat the mixed up stuff too because they can't serve it to someone else anyway. But honestly, you're better off eating somewhere else. It tastes so much better at local restaurants that aren't massive chain franchises that only truly care about yearly profits increases.

[@BleepingTom]

After all your Amsterdam video's food tastings, comparing to US, the general what I notice: More flavour, less oil, less sugar, smaller sizes, less processed, less artificial, better bread..... Check out (google) ingeedients of the fries of McDonalds in USA vs the ingredients of the same fries in Europe: USA 14 ingredients vs Europe 4 ingredients.... Notably absent from the EU fries is methylpolysiloxane, a commonly used anti-foaming agent that's also an ingredient used to make Silly Putty....... And thats just the fries as an example.....Also bread differences are huge! It may sound odd, but in America, your loaf of bread can contain ingredients with industrial applications - additives that also appear in things like yoga mats, pesticides, hair straighteners, explosives and petroleum products. So many USA products are illegal to sell here in Europe because of better restrictions here: In US the mighty dollar is more important than health.... Also in Europe eating at a fastfood restaurant is considered a "bonus" while in USA for more people its considered as a daily routine...
