WHO IS BUNCHARTED?
We're Michelle and Alex, an American expat couple living abroad in the Netherlands. 🇳🇱
In 2020, we quit our jobs to travel the world, and... well, that didn't happen. So in 2022, we decided to make an even BIGGER change by packing up our lives (and our cats 🐈) and moving from Austin, Texas, in the US, to Rotterdam, in the Netherlands. Subscribe for new videos like this every week!

Little warning for the vegetarians and vegans here: those goulash kroketten are definitely NOT a vegetarian option! I got a little exited since those used to be my favorite type of kroket before I stopped eating meat. So I googled it and the first ingredient is beef. :( I really hope veggie versions of other kroket flavours will be available some day.

[@buncharted]

ah crap you’re right, i just double checked. not sure how we mixed that up. thank you for clarifying!

[@thedutchest]

Thanks I was getting hopeful about eating another kroket too xD Still not buying the replacements though

[@karinisvetcool]

The goulash one isn't vegetarian, but Mora does have vegetarian kroketten! "Vegetarische draadjesvleeskrokketen" (if that's what you mean?). One of the ingredients is "VEGETARISCH DRAADJESVLEESCH" which is fake meat

[@liyanaseyman9894]

There is also a vegetarian one of van dobben with vegetables ( groentebkroket) . It is sooo goood!

[@Masterkruk]

if you search for vegetarian goulash kroketten you wil find site's with a recipe.

[@arjanpelle]

The 'salades' are definitely meant as spread on something like toast, crackers or bread.

[@darknessblades]

Indeed, they are more intended as a spread for toast/crackers/pieces of baguette during parties

Schuimpjes!

[@Jurjen_Warrel_Ottenhoff]

Visit one of the Van Delft stores for an amazing variety of pepernoten. From the traditional and chocolate covered, to stroop wafel flavoured and raspberry yoghurt covered.

[@macbosch64]

@@Jurjen_Warrel_Ottenhoff good idea cant eat them myself but they look very enticing. And so many flavours.

[@janwesten1317]

In foreign countries, slices of bread are often considered as inferior bread that is only suitable for toasting. In the Netherlands, slices of bread don't smell like old socks and are delicious to eat fresh, and actually, only old bread is toasted. When I'm in foreign hotels, I can only choose between stale slices of bread (intended for toasting) and hard rolls. I really miss the delicious fresh slices of soft bread. Btw, the pink layer on the 'roze koek' consists of cochineal, which is made from the dried bodies of female cochineal lice. Eet smakelijk! 😋

[@senjinthedragon]

A lot of things with red coloring use those and it's also not limited to dutch food but used world-wide as a food-safe coloring agent. Any food with E120 on the ingredients list. You find it in pink glace/frosting to strawberry yoghurt to tuc-cookies to hotdogs and pizza's and many many many more. Other names are: cochineal extract, carmine, natural red 4, C.I. 75470 or hydrated aluminium chelate of carminic acid

[@dutchgamer842]

​@@senjinthedragonIsn't it E-129 if it's red40?

[@Jurjen_Warrel_Ottenhoff]

A number of the preservatives and other additives in American bread make it illegal to sell in a large part (maybe all) of Europe. Sometime during the industrialisation of the US. keeping bread good became more important than making good bread. Shelf life became more important than nutritional value and flavor.

[@TheSuperappelflap]

Another thing to mention is that traditionally we dont just toast old bread, we put it in a pan with beaten eggs and make "wentelteefjes" that are generally eaten with sugar or (apple) syrup. Its a really good cheap comfort food to make with old bread. Alternatively you can take your old bread outside and feed the ducks, its a lot of fun to do with small kids.

[@jeroencote5212]

Yes bitterkoekjes are great, but also langetjes (with some hot tea to dunk them in)

[@2coixos]

@@rafierafie8834 They are called bitterkoekjes because in the recipe you use a little bit of bitter almonds together with regular almonds to get the typical bitterkoekjes flavour.

[@FauxDutchess]

Bit late, but its because they used to be made with 'blauwe amandelen" or, bitter almonds. Those aren't allowed anymore because they contain a toxin. Now they mostly use almond extract. But they are delicious. Hope this helps!@@rafierafie8834

[@thenonexistinghero]

Something really nice to try with the bastogne cookies is to dip them in tea before eating. Can also use coffee, but I do prefer tea (and I also personally use a little sugar in my tea/coffee). No need to dip it for very long, maybe a second or so. They soak up a decent amount of liquid and will break if you soak them too much.

[@DJarr216]

The Bastogne cookie is actually belgian, not dutch. Invented in antwerp and named after the city of bastogne because they reminded the baker of the rocky hills in the ardennes.

My favourite salade is the 'Kip Samba' it's a little spicy... and we like it on stokbrood slices (baguettes) P.S. after seeing the Frisia Mallows footage i got a new Dutch word for you 'Swaffelen' it was the Dutch word of 2008. 😄

You should try some Roggebrood met Katenspek next time you eat some pea soup it is also a old tradition to eat them togheter.

[@davidc.4957]

Watching this video right before going to the grocery myself may not have been the best idea.

[@itsgottobeperfect1]

The way you said "snert". Made me laugh so hard. Thank you, needed that. The snert from the Aldi is also pretty good. But you should get yourself invited at someone's mother or grandmother. Homemade is the best ever!

[@chemvanderest-randolph7901]

It's also not split peas but whole peas

[@thexintax]

Love this! Hope you'll end up making your own Erwten/peasoup one day, its sooo good when you make it yourself. Supermarkets also have "Verspakketen" aka Fresh Packs. That come with almost all ingredients needed to make a dish, and the soup variants are really easy, especially the one for pea soup! Hope you'll like it... As long as you don't sprinkle it with Hagelslag... Haha.

[@jacqvanm4882]

Tip: kroketten is plural. One kroket, two kroketten. And bastogne koek: best dipped in coffee…😊

[@ShirleyxLandewee]

Great video 😊 I love Ertensoep even better when it is homemade. ❤

[@Faruhs]

Snert is more a split pea mash than a soup. If your spoon can stand vertically in it - it's snert, if it falls - it's erwtensoep.

[@Tinmar_AA]

You should make the Snert yourself and try it 1 day old re-heated. That is how most Dutch people like it. The Bastogne koeken are a great base for cheesecake. Just crumble them with some melted butter as a base.

johma salad so incredibly delicious. try more flavors of Johma salad so you can see that more are also very tasty. I recommend you also try Heksn kaas from Johma. It comes from a village in the east of the Netherlands called Losser and is located in Twente . Pepernoten really a snack that is eaten around November and December.just like filled gingerbread and butter bars filled with almond paste . which is also very Dutch, different stew. and of course meatballs . Rye bread with snert is also delicious . salty herring on rye bread. And Zeeland syrup on rye bread is also Dutch food. Cinnamon stick is also tasty, it is candy. raisin bread with real butter and cheese.

[@kayhoorn]

The best thing about Bastogne koeken is to use it as the base for a Monchou cake

[@lbergen001]

Yeah, with a few crushed hazelnuts in it.

[@raskahn9286]

For the true "Sinterklaas" experience you'll need to dive in to the section where they sell the Kruidnoten, look for things like Schuimpjes, Marsepijn, Kikkers/Fondant etc.

[@Lillith.]

Also can't forget pepernoten.

[@Tjeerd013]

Taaitaai and Banketstaaf are also typically "Sinterklaas" treats

Wat een snertweer vandaag... koud, nat en wind. What a "snert weather" today.. cold, wet and windy. We almost never buy "snert" we prefer to make it our selves. I even grow some lovage for that in our garden. Every end of autumn we make a really big pan of snert. We have it as dinner the day after we made it, because it's even better then. The rest we portion and put in the freezer. During the winter we eat it when it's cold, wet and windy ;-) Loved this video again.

Crumble up a bunch of Bastogne cookies and roll a ball of vanilla ice in them. Pure heaven!

[@jufjannie92]

You should definitely try Schuddebuikjes! Its speculaas but then small like sprinkles so you can use it on bread with butter. I personally love it on slightly toasted fresh white bread with a little butter. Other thing is the huzarensalaatje (dont know wether it is typically dutch though). But really curious if you like it or not 😮

[@Jurjen_Warrel_Ottenhoff]

I grew up in a time before Schuddebuikjes, we just put the speculaas cookies on bread. With butter ofcourse. I still do sometimes. It's also cheaper and tastes better.

[@Jurjen_Warrel_Ottenhoff]

Oh, end huzarensalade is also made in Romenia. They have a different name for it ofcourse and I wouldn't be surprised if this is true for more eastern European countries.

[@erikaverink8418]

Just some suggestions - try those salades again (and other ones) on a slice baguette. Sellerie (sellie) salad (on top of bread, baquette) with tomatoes, cheese, hard boiled egg, slice of ham. -rolmops or sour herring (i like it, most people don't) -Mussels in sour - Harde worst (dry sausage)(preferably with cloves as a taste, or both), but get a good one. -Smeer leverworst (on bread, taste great on roasted bread) and normal leverworst (Kips is one of the best as slice) - All kind of cheeses (with komijn, herbs, sambal, from young to very old) -Smeerkaas (sambal) on bread or on a slice of a baguette -all kinds of bread From white to brown, with and without seeds , (butter and a slice of cheese or something else) I need butter on my bread, some people prefer it without. I am sure one of these will be an F (I guess the fish).

If you have American supermarket bread it probably tastes better toasted, but the bread in Europe tastes better of course.

If you like the filling in the van dobben kroketten you should definitely try beef ragout. Its pretty much the same thing, but you buy it in a tin jar and heat it on the stove, then put it in a hollow pastry instead of frying it. Its a very traditional Dutch winter treat and its a perfect snack or appetizer before a (Christmas) dinner. Goes hard with a glass of light red wine as well.

[@jumpingpiggie422]

Het is Snert seizoen !!! I always like to enchance my erwtensoep with extra rookworst (unox of course, but the AH housebrand is also very good. Jumbo has a funky taste to it though) and fried spekblokjes or reepjes. Also have a few slices of roggebrood with katenspek (if you want you can add a dallop of whole grain mustard seeds from Maille) and you have a good seasonal afternoon or evening dish!

[@montebont]

Another nice one :-). BTW Bastogne koeken are actually from Belgium but they sure taste nice - I love them as well. The benchmark for Erwtensoep is: it must be so thick that you can stick a spoon in it and it should stay upright. However: nice to see how you appreciate this

[@justusgovaert]

The kruidnoten is definitely only available at Sinterklaas or when you get closer to Sinterklaas times like in the autumn. You should try the chocolade kruidnoten for sure. those are even better I think since the have a coating of chocolate on the kruidnoten. For the Snert you should try it with some slices of rookworst in it which is the traditional Dutch sausage which is often eaten with this soup or with other traditional Dutch recipes

[@senjinthedragon]

Do try kruidnoten dipped in chocolate. They sell bags with dark/light/white chocolate mix. It elevates them to A level imho. Another 'Sinterklaas' favourite is pepernoten which is a very chewy cookie that's also delicious. And yes, the massive bags are to throw them at kids, it's tradition.

Concerning Sinterklaas snacks; "Plain" Kruidnoten, surprisingly a lot of different brands differ quite a lot in taste. Lots of different types of kruidnoten of course (Bigger sizes, smaller sizes, dark and white chocolate shells, truffle, strooigoed, etc). Pepernoten differ not so much, they usually taste around the same. But there's lots of different other snacks; chocolate letters, speculaas, chocolate anything, marsepein, Taai taai... Endless amount of things.

[@BreimamaMousey]

[@nielsabbas7166]

I recomment the Hema rookworst (smoked sausage) with mustard.

[@Infyra]

The best tasting ones of these spreads are (IMO) the kip-samba (which is only very very slighly spicy) and the oude kaas (old cheese) ones, they used to have old amsterdammer cheese in it, but now its just with generic old cheese I think.

[@keshiwipertus9339]

You should try shanghai borrelnoten, paprika chips and roomsoezen or the version you can buy in a banketbakkerij, croquembouche. This will blow your mind!

In Belgium we eat the salad spreads on our breakfast and lunch bread daily.

[@daviddevos3518]

What I like to do with the kip-kerrie salad: Take a soft white bread bun, slice it and fold it open, put some ham on it (smoked- or York ham, or whichever you prefer), put some kip-kerrie salad on that and finally sprinkle it with crushed suikerpinda's (sugared peanuts). Close the bun and: Eet smakelijk!

[@gusknip]

@buncharted You can actually get a pretty decent kit from Albert Heijn to make it from scratch, look in the veggie section voor the AH-verspakketten. The instructions work well as a base recipe, and the meat you normally use for the base broth can also be purchased in there (pork ribs, called "krabbetjes"). After you've tried the basic recipe, you can then continue with your own variations.

[@Eric_Maastricht]

Seen about all your uploaded videos, I think. Nice to see you trying out all things Dutch! When it comes to things to top your slices of bread, I think you're overlooking large parts of the supermarkets... For instance, the section with the pate's is something to look into. I particularly like the "Ardenner Paté" (both the AH and the Jumbo variants), slice a part of the short side of the paté and use it as a spread on the bread. "Cranberry paté" is also very nice, but quite sweet. Still missing from yout Dutch breakfast are the slices of meat (in the broadest sense) as bread toppings, for instance: fricandeau (pork), kalkoen (turkey), wijn- or Elsassercervelaat (the standard cervelaat is a bit bland, certainly compared to what is available in Germany...), rosbief (beware of the date, also you'd sprinkle it with pepper and salt a bit). All these toppings are very much the staple items in a Dutch family breakfast (and lunch...). If you want slices of meat freshly cut, avoid the supermarket but go to a butcher (NL: slagerij) and order at the counter. Additional benefit at the butcher's: if you ask, you might get a small piece to taste before buying - or decline. Can't do that in a supermarket. I suppose Dordrecht is a large enough city to have many butchers! Noticed you use white bread for your slices. Try some of the brown bread loafs as well. It's supposed to be much better for your health.

we only used white bread for the hagelslag 😉

[@UltimateSeduction]

Yep. Hagelslag is served on a fresh white slice of bread with a little more butter than normal 😊

Have to say that the Bastogne koek is a belgium desert, it's a reference to a village Bastogne in the french part;

Have you tried 'Vietnamese loempia's' yet? They rock hard. Other tips: Borek kip van de Albert Heyn (fresh bread) Broodje bapao Groninger notenkoek Fries suikerbrood met roomboter (that is VERY good) Kaasstick for the oven Limburgse vlaai. Rijstevlaai is my favourite Vers wit tijgerbrood met boter en boterhamworst

I didn't see the Snert steaming. How warm was it? try it again on a cold, rainy and windy winter day. And add some extra rookworst. Can't wait to see you try all kind of "drop".

Here's some snack ideas for u guys. You might have had some of these before but I'm Dutch, I know this stuff. - Chips: Lays - Patatje Joppie flavour - Chocolate bars: Koetjesreep. - Cheese: Old Amsterdam Black Label. - Nuts: Tijgernootjes. Also some tips. - Put some fresh herring with onions on some "roggebrood", very nice pairing. - Try to get invited for dinner by someone who knows how to make erwtensoep (snert) the traditional way, you probably won't want to eat it from a can ever again. Enjoy!

There are some great classic commercials in the Netherlands to watch (maybe a fun idea for a video), but one of the best is about Rolo (a candy) and an elephant. So I would recommend eating that and watching the commercial. Also, i lost a baby tooth to that candy when I was little 😅

[@remko]

Again, as always, a great video. Thanks. There is also a spicy version of the Kip Kerrie salade from the same brand. I like that even more. It’s called ‘pikante kip kerrie’.

[@buncharted]

oooh heck yes!!!

[@harrybruijs2614]

Twentse kipsalade is also good

[@RealConstructor]

You should try borstplaat and marzipan/marsepein, but from a patissier/pastry baker or in Dutch banketbakker. Or try andijviestamppot, endive with mashed potatoes, with small bacon strips/cubes and mustard. I know endive is in some parts of America the vegetable which we call witlof (chicory), so I don’t mean that white stuff, but the green endive. But don’t use the raw endive, but stir fry the sliced endive for two minutes in the fat from the bacon strips and then mix it with the mashed potatoes. It is more tasteful that way, and spice it with salt, pepper and mustard. I eat it with gravy and a meatball or a thick slice of bacon.

[@strikeformatik]

You should try the snert with katenspek on a dark rye bread, dunk it in the soup. Eat it. Mmm

[@photomat]

Try "Trekdrop"! As a kid on camp I ate so much my number 2 was all black colored

[@a.v.7797]

On the kroketten: eat it with a bun or a salad and fries. The combi does it. For me, i add a lot of chipped onions and some curryketchup. Spice it up!

[@elsbethfongers4476]

Kruidnoten are not available year round, just august-december

[@catharinaforbes-boeren82]

Toasting bread is necessary in the USA because it’s high in sugar and last forever. Here bread is fresh and doesn’t need to be toasted. It goes bad in a couple of days.

[@buncharted]

toasted bread tastes good though 😋

[@gijsbertuslaurensvandevooren]

Try Bruine bonen soep (Brown beans soup) it's a winter food like pea soup.

[@feikeligtermoet9141]

Try a slice of bread with butter, peanutbutter and some hagelslag on top. And another slice of bread with butter to put on the hagelslag. ❤

[@megamusictuber6017]

Nice rating video again. I wonder what a "warm" kruidnootje tasted like that I also saw you eating...wink wink hahaha. Coincidentally, I made a large pan of snert yesterday and it is even thicker (and much tastier) than the canned one. I put extra meat in it and HEMA rookworst... two. LOL.

[@arturobianco848]

if you like the dark chocalate milk you might wanna try the hagelsag puur

[@florianjongejeugd3902]

I'm also not a huge chocolate fan but there are also lots of fruit flavours of hagelslag eapecially the rainbow one is great.

[@Ahasveros7674]

With hagelslag you need two slices of buttered bread to sandwich the hagelslag, so it will stick from both sides.

[@theinvestor9674]

Wait until you find stroopwaffels, the buggles chips or Calve mayonaise (wich is a very sweet mayo). I did not found any of these in a foreign store yet. Also, shrimp kroqeteu are the best.
