AMERICANS TRY DUTCH FOOD 🇳🇱 (our DIY dutch food taste test)

[@VashXTrigun]

Kroketten and Bitterballen are basically the same snacks, with the difference being the size and shape. Both can have different kinds of fillings, but the standard filling usually is a beef-based meat ragout. Personally, I never heard of/ had a chicken-based ragout kroket (I think), might look out for that one.

[@saskiadinh5928]

Plus you need to eat them with mustard

[@eddys.3524]

Both Bitterballen and Kroketten are usually consumed with Mosterd... Try it. Bitterballen are more of a snack during happy hour. Kroketten are usually eaten on a slice of bread. BTW... typical Dutch food like Boerenkool met spek (winter food) you still have to try... Eet smakelijk!

My daughter told me I was eating hagelslag incorrectly. I guess it isn’t made with toast but just untoasted bread and cool butter. I tried it like that and it was far superior. Something magical happened with that combination rather than with warm toast and melted butter.

[@TheTwan85]

Both ways are good, it comes down to texture preference... With toast the hagelslag starts to melt but you still have the crunch from the toast. With untoasted bread you have the crunch from the sprinkles which is really good as well 😁 That said, I did grow up eating it on untoasted bread, so that might be the most authentic way.

@ 11:43 --> Nataniël Gomes, the hairdresser who invented the iconic dish KAPSALON ( = hair salon), has passed away, according to Dutch newspaper Het AD of July 16th. Nataniël Gomes was 47 years old. It is not known what caused Gomes' death. The idea of the KAPSALON arose in 2003 during Gomes' visits to the Rotterdam shawarma shop El Aviva, right next to his own hair salon. The hairdresser wanted something that was not on the menu: shoarma with fries, cheese, lettuce and sauce. Although the dish did not exist, everyone in the shawarma shop knew enough when Gomes called and said "hair salon!" was called by El Aviva. Twenty years later, the dish can be found in almost every shawarma shop and the KAPSALON is even available abroad. Journalists from New York, China, Russia came to interview Comes because they found his story so special.

These were mostly Dutch snacks or snackfood. Try out kibbeling with ravigotsaus next time, it's much better and especially for fish. Eat some snert or erwtensoup (its a winter meal) next time and/or some stamppot. and also hachee. As a desert you should try out a tompoes, they are great but difficult to eat haha.

in the winter we like to eat " stamppot with rookworst" you should really try that , hope you like it too 😋 great video's guys 😉

[@ExitiumNL]

5:08 It really depends on the kroket and bitterballen that you bought. Basically they're the same thing except for the shape, but the filling (and with that as well: the brand) might be different. If you compare a beef bitterball and a beef kroket from the same brand, they should taste exactly the same 5:56 Next time you should try a viandel. Same idea, but a crispier outside. They're much better than a frikandel in my opinion 11:25 During the holiday season they also sell appelflappen / appelbeignets. There are three versions, one made of puff pastry in the shape of a triangle, one made of puff pastry which is round, and one which is a battered, deepfried slice of apple which is also round. The last one is the best one, and I'd say the only one worth eating. If they sell them (not sure if they sell them outside the holiday season, usually they're known as "oma's appelflappen" or "oma's appelbeignets", definitely give them a go. They're way better than oliebollen Other things to try: - Stroopwafel, but a freshly made one. There are stands at different markets that make them fresh, they're literally a thousand times better than store bought - French fries with peanut sauce, quite a common combination actually. It's my absolute go to - Bamihap and nasihap, two deepfried snacks, one with noodles and one with rice in it - Erwtensoep (split pea soup)

At the moment they promote the new kroket as called draadjesvlees which is the same kroket as 50 years ago with the same filling as the bitterballen.

As a retired military I can tell you that we (the military community, that is) have a category name for the Dutch snacks: brown fruit! I suggest you don't get your daily dose of fruit with this colour ;) On the snacks named bitterballen, kroket but also the season snacks oliebollen, I advise getting the pastry chef versions. Some very famous pastry chefs are: Holtkamp, Kwekkeboom and 'van Dobben'. Both Kwekkeboom and 'van Dobben' can be bought in the snack shops (patat zaak) but also you can buy them for home frying (make sure your extractor hood works properly :) and kip kroket is not common... rundvlees kroket (beef) is. If you ever have a chance to taste a garnalen (shrimp) kroket from Holtkamp you should grab the opportunity with both hands.

Kroketten: Besides being street food, it is served in restaurants on brown bread with pearl onions and pickles as an open faced sandwich. Frietjes: Are you both fully deprogrammed from having ketchup with fries to having mayo?🙂 Special mention: Hagelslag. My wife grew up in the US with Dutch parents. Inevitably when school friends came over for dinner, the reaction to the Dutch food was (politely) luke warm.

Try sateh kroket next time, gotta be my all time favorite! and yes kapsalon is one of the best snack inventions for sure

If you like a kroket/bitterballen, you should get a "broodje van Dobben". Kings of kings of the kroket with some bread. 200% better then the regular kroket/bitterball

Normally you eat the frikandel with sauces and onions. Like a frikandel special, that version of it is way better! And maybe you would like a saté kroket, instead of a normal one. Or one of my favorites a goulashkroket.

Try hagelslag on normal (untoasted) bread and in stead of butter, use peanut butter. Hmmmmm
