British tourists go to Amsterdam in a quest for... stroopwafel

[@aerendyll]

I would absolutely be up for a big stroopwafel comparison video. I've only ever had store-bought, so I'm now wondering how the fresh ones differ, too.

[@frankhooper7871]

Fresh ones are miles [or maybe kilometres] better 😊

[@Ecesu]

So much better! Just warm and gooey 🥰 But here's a tip from the Dutch, when having a store-bought stroopwafel, make some tea to go with it and place the stroopwafel on top of the mug so the steam warms it up a bit ☺

[@MarianneExJohnson]

With the fresh ones, the cookies are crisper while the caramel is much softer, and of course they're still warm. It doesn't get better than that. In store-bought stroopwafels, I also look for crisp cookies and soft interiors, although of course they can never be as good as fresh ones. I think the Albert Heijn store brand is good, but there may be better ones, I've never done an actual survey or anything.

We need Evan at either the Paris Olympics or EURO 2024 in Germany since he’s going to be close to both events this summer.

[@clarkejoseph49]

Couldn’t agree more. I want to go to Germany and France this Summer too.

[@tpfootballanalysis6752]

I'm at both this summer 😂. Euros is hard to get tickets but cheaper, Olympic tickets for some events are quite easy but paris costs a fortune next summer

[@ARK613]

Noah Finnce. None taken!

[@coolenaam]

You pronounced pindakaaswinkel quite well actually :)

[@Hannah009]

Welcome to The Netherlands, lovely to have you. I am glad you are enjoying in. Just a heads up, cycling while filming with a camera or phone in your hand is actually illegal! If they catch you, the fibe will be more than €100. That is a lot of stroopwafels you could have enjoyed! See you next time! If you want a change of scenery, may I suggest to cone visit Utrecht?

[@Mrmayhembsc]

I didn't realise it was illegal, doesn't stop people lol. I also 2nd Utrecht !!! One of my fav places in NL. Though there are so many other places to visit in the Netherlands that I'd recommend over Amsterdam, haha. I explored s'hertogenbosch last steptember which was really nice.

[@Ecesu]

@Mrmayhembsc Yeah because too many people were cycling with phones in their hand checking maps, texting the whole time, etc. and not paying attention to their surroundings so now there's a fine. Not sure if its heavily enforced though.

[@Mrmayhembsc]

@Ecesu rightfully so. However, going on all the visits (I have been to at least five provinces since 2019, including multiple trips to North Brabant and Utrecht), they don't enforce it. I know in Flanders, Belgium, they just launched a campaign against it. One of my favourite singers, Pommelien Thijs, just released a song about it.

[@mavadelo]

@@Mrmayhembsc Just as with having a light or bell on your bike, enforcement totally depends on the mood of the officer. Also smaller towns tend to enforce small violations less than bigger cities but it is hardly noticable in bigger cities because your chances of the one being caught are less smaller.

[@lidiastanford-mellis4446]

Your photography skills are top tier!!

[@Abigael317]

SOO nice to see the Sci Guys in this one! 174/10 would immediately watch more vlogs with the Sci Guys!

[@LunaticOstrich]

At 4:32 at that corner shop, they sell amazing whipped cream ice-cream. You should get it next time you're in Amsterdam

[@deuter458624]

Even OG (Original Gang) is back 🎉🎉🎉

[@stacker63]

LOVE THIS SO MUCH amazing video evan!! loved seeing you all have fun in amsterdam!

[@P0nyl0ve]

Wow I can't believe y'all are in my country!! Please come to paleis het Loo sometime!

[@yhmkriek95]

Go to a normal market and get stroopwafels there. It will be cheaper and will taste good. Also, you can get a bag of "kruimels" wich are offcuts from the wafels.

[@StopImAlreadyDan]

It’s blowing my mind that a couple of weeks ago I saw @noahfinnce playing at a 10,000 capacity venue, and now he’s on a vlog with Evan going to Amsterdam.

[@ThirstyTunaTaco]

The things that foreigners do to get a stroopwafel from a tiktok shop which is 10 times more expensive and 10 times less tasty than an ordinairy fresh baked stroopwafel on the Albert Cuyp or Dappermarkt breaks my heart every time.. You will NEVER see a local in line of those tiktok shops. 5 years ago it was all about those lousy Nutella shops here in A'dam.. These days it's full of stroopwafel crap shops.

[@evan]

I like the Albert Cuyp one!! In my top 3 defo

[@ThirstyTunaTaco]

A real stroopwafel NEVER has those toppings.. Just always hookup with some local who will show you stuff instead of tiktok influencers.. Tiktok and Insta are pure HELL lol Take care dude@

[@frankhooper7871]

Agreed - the Albert Cuyp is my go-to for a stroopwafel

[@brettcarruthers8838]

Evan has a stroopwafel problem.

[@shadesofcallum]

2:13 that’s a new one for me and im american 💀 but it’s also funny how noah highlighted that bit on his tiktok lmfao

[@Liamshavingfun]

Nice to see the Ole gang. You looked like you had fun. How long is the plane ride?

[@PaulaBean]

AirBNB is the biggest cause for the current house shortage in Amsterdam. Financial conglomerates buy up all the houses to convert them to short-stay tourist accomodation, that makes way more profit than renting them to long-stay occupants. With the result that people from Amsterdam can't even live in the city anymore. This has to stop.

[@pasqualstipdonk6404]

thanks, now i'm craving a stroopwafel. haha

[@lynnhamps7052]

Evan..how about making your own stroopwafel? He fun to watch and if you crack it you'll save a fortune..lol 😊✌🇬🇧

[@jacobanthony7829]

Evan what is the name of that restaurant you went to at the beginning? It looks fun!

[@GirliestMammy]

💖

[@CakeboyRiP]

Just thinking i could have met you and your friends 😅

[@paradeoflaughter]

It is now my life's mission to go to Amsterdam and eat all the stroopwafles and go to the peanut butter store

[@luukf]

Tip: Put the store bought stroopwafels in the microwave, you'll be surprised much difference it makes. Fresh ones are still much better though, obviously.

[@LadyQAB]

Love to see people enjoy my city! Also its a miracle you had little to no rain because it has been one of the wettest winters we ever had

[@CoinPig]

Why have they stolen St. Pancras Station? @2:50 🙃😂

[@MiriamCamilla]

Biggest mistake is not ever visiting Gouda to eat the original stroopwafels… sticking to Amsterdam tsktsk smh. I live in the province South-Holland not all too far from Gouda so am somewhat familiar with the town I can easily google you some of the best stroopwafel addresses over there. Or is there some other map thing to pin recommendations on a map and place it in comments? (Do let me know I can totally pin some highlights in my province in so far I know them, even some in neighbouring provinces and so on) you really need to get your behind out of Amsterdam. Cheese market (in Gouda) also starts again in April I think? (Thursdays) but it is very touristy I have seen on an other youtube video of people exploring. Still if one likes touristy that may be just the thing. Otherwise and less cheesy it is a good town for a daytrip wander.

[@lynanderson6371]

You went to Amsterdam to...eat?

[@tonycasey3183]

Do Noah's parents know you took him out of the country. Year 9 is very important and he should not be absent without permission.😊

[@QALibrary]

Stroopwafel you amateur :P If you were a professional you be in Wales hunting down the factory that makes the Tregroes Waffles! or in other words welsh toffee waffles - it kicks any other Stroopwafel between its legs and then takes its lunch money! And make sure you bring your diabetes kit because boy they are sweet - they make Cadbury's Creme Eggs taste bitter by comparison

[@danpaddy]

Why are you going to Amsterdam with a twelve year old?

[@richardtalbot8769]

Amsterdam is nice for a first-time tourist - but try to get out of the city - I often stay in Utrecht, it has a teapot on top of a car park and a flying saucer on the Pro-Rail building. I am not keen on Stroopwafel but give me a warme kaasbroodje instead.

[@jack_elliott]

Any reason you didn't take the eurostar?

[@EvanEdingerTravel]

The cost being 3x as much but if you'd like to pay the difference next time I'm sure we'd take it

[@jack_elliott]

@EvanEdingerTravel I take it this was booked at short notice, however booking a few months in advance, it can be cheaper than flying. Not to mention more comfortable, faster, and results in 94% less carbon emissions. Train: Zone 2/3 to Zone 1 fare £3.40x2 Eurostar £39x2 Total: £84.80 Plane: Tfl thru zone 1 to Heathrow fare (Liz line) £13.30x2 Flight (return price) £57~ Schiphol to Centraal £5x2 Total: £93.60 So I will take you up on the offer of paying the difference! 😉

[@evan]

@@jack_elliott the ol "just book a year in advance" argument I mean sure I took the eurostar to dam in August when I snagged a deal obviously it's nicer but this is pretty self-evident! Then again, your comment was an honest question, so please forgive me if my written tone comes off as salty :P It's not meant to be. I would have loved to take the eurostar again but the disparity in price made it insensible for the budget I had for this trip (which was literally being a +1 anyway where everything was booked for me by the podcast lads haha) so uh... blame them ;P
