Dutch Food Tour | 10 Things you MUST eat in Amsterdam!

We really wanted to go on a Dutch-led food tour while we were in Amsterdam. But it was super expensive, so, we created our own. Join us as we eat our way through Amsterdam on our DIY Dutch Food Tour!

Bitterballen or kroket have a ragoût inside. Most of the time it is beef or veal. There are options with cheese, mushrooms, shrimps. But not all places have the other options. A lot of stores now have vegetarian options. Yes kroket on bread. You sqeeze the kroket so it opens up add mosterd and eat the whole sandwich 😋 Bitterballen are snacks for when you have a beer or something.

[@kevartje1295]

You gave the tour while wearing a shirt that said "i'd rather be camping". Now that's some balls.

[@user-he4qx6hq4e]

Harring is the best you can get, but people don't now how to eat it

[@yousnoerd]

Charming video you made. Hopefully you had a great time and the bitterballs didn't burn your mouth too much ;) Good job on the Haring btw. A lot of people can't appreciate them because they find them too fishy.

[@user-kk9gg7cy2i]

Heerlijk eten

[@MKandTJ]

Very delicious 🤤

[@marcusfranconium3392]

Nice video , on the bitterballen , the inside is not gravy its a ragout . that can be made of several types of bouilions stocks made of meat . chicken , fish or even vegetables . the meat is verry tenderly cooked and the beef stock has flower added to it to make a roux then the meat is added . its quite a complex refined recipe . When one makes it from scratch . in fancy resaurants you get a more liquid form and small pastry cups. Or in italy if you want a pasta bolognese . you ask for a ragout . There are some video on youtube that have simplified versions of the recipes and you can make them your self .

[@MKandTJ]

GREAT comment! Thank you so much for the insight. We had to laugh a little bit because where we are from in the US, “ragout” and “roux” are words you don’t hear often which is why we went with “gravy” lol Love it!

[@deetgeluid]

It’s not ragout either officially it’s called salpicon.

[@Teslacoil333]

Nice, Nice, Nice!!

[@MKandTJ]

Thanks for watching :D

[@Haroekoe]

That was fun to watch. My hometown is Rotterdam. The ZOO is a ten minutes walk from my home. I know Amsterdam and Utrecht well, also Gouda I come frequently, and Schoonhoven I visited. The Netherlands is not that big. You've seen a lot already. Next time go further south: Belgium. I live on the axe Amsterdam - Brussels so I know most of the major cities on that line. The Belgians are great people, more laid back than Dutchmen; their food even better. Thanks for sharing your adventures! ✌🏼🇳🇱

[@MKandTJ]

Lol we have much to learn and experience. We are hoping to get some more time abroad in the coming years :)

[@user-qd2ct1ue4v]

Great video,i love these kind of vids,im from Holland and live Near Rotterdam in the old city of Dordrecht ,,

[@MKandTJ]

Thank you! We wished we had gotten over to Rotterdam. Our loss 😞 we’ll just have to come back!

[@Beun007]

The substance in a bitterbal or kroket is ragout which forms the base mixed with beef or anything else. My fovorite though is with calf meat. With Goulash is also a great version. Another great one is with shrimps...

[@nicoledb341]

Kalf is veal 😊

[@Beun007]

I Highly recommend poffertjes spinkled with Tia Maria! Very yummy!!!!

[@MKandTJ]

I had to look this one up!

[@kruimels]

If you come back here, then try " Kibbeling " It is fried cod. I bet you will like it both.

[@MKandTJ]

When we come back, not if! Lol that sounds fantastic. Where would one go to find it?

[@kruimels]

@@MKandTJ Allways on a market in a centrum. There are alot, so not that difficult to find. Best is with Ravagotti sauce, or garlic sauce.

[@MKandTJ]

@@kruimels 😋That sounds amazing. Thank you for the tip!

[@PaulaBean]

15:57 Herring is not raw - it has been stewing in its own enzymes, which pre-digests the meat. Look up 'haringkaken' (the process).

[@delloso6205]

Herrings must be treated by snap freezing and/or salting (they don`t taste very salty and are healthy and yummy).

[@PaulaBean]

@@delloso6205 I think we can agree they're not 'raw' ;-)

[@seantynan1]

That Airbnb looks cute! Can I ask you the name of it?

[@Beun007]

Stroepwaffel deluxe! LOL!!!

[@MKandTJ]

How do you like them?

[@Beun007]

@@MKandTJ the question is more is the way you ate it commonly used? The answer is: no.

[@cajundragon]

Never seen a Dutch pancake with no meat, fruit or toppings in it!! Go for it next time. What's the name of the coffee shop at the end? Need some sweets.

[@MKandTJ]

Chimney Cake Cafe!

[@ChrisRedfield--]

The ice-cream at van der Linden in the Nieuwendijk, is the best in the world! Did you try it?

[@MKandTJ]

Nooo 🥺 Guess we have to go back!

[@user-cy7iz9lw5z]

What was the name of the pub down the street with the spareribs and onion rings???

[@MKandTJ]

Grizzly!

[@delloso6205]

The herring you had is not raw ! All herrings have been treated by snap freezing @ around -35C and/or salting. They are much healthier and safer to eat than the overrated Sushi`s and dubious Sashimi`s where the fish flavours have been masked by dominant sauces .

[@MKandTJ]

Great information to know! Thank you for watching and commenting!

[@Beun007]

HA, THERE YOU HAVE IT!!! STROEPWAFFEL!!! LOL!!!!! Look, you guys better say stroapwaffel...😉

[@MKandTJ]

Ha! Noted 📝

[@harrym740]

12:30 WE LIKE OUR BREAD OKAY!😅 we eat bread all day every day

[@MKandTJ]

LOL 😂 I will say that Dutch bread is a lot better than American bread! 🥖

[@seanbhoyallan92]

Surely it wasn't snowing in the dam 3 months ago ? I'm off the Christmas eve

[@MKandTJ]

Lol this was in January:)

[@woodydotson3529]

OK - hot -- lol -- love this channel -- FYI -- that kinda spider is called a Cellar Spider her in the States. -- ya don't think about species continuity around our small globe...in the big scheme of living things. Cellar spiders don't really hurt much of anything, but can live in large quantities in a place like a basement or crawlspace...making it feel creepy.

[@MKandTJ]

Luckily it was the only one we saw. If we saw more we would be staying somewhere else lol 🤣

[@tedgovostis7351]

Strowp-waffels, rhyming with row, not roo. And as far as the croquet in a roll, we always eat fried chicken sandwiches, and no one complains about the breading on the chicken.

[@MKandTJ]

Are you saying it’s pronounced“Strope-Waffle”?

[@J.Schenkel]

@@MKandTJ yes it is a long ooo, like in roll, row, flow...

[@johneldard6673]

Is the herring itself pickled herring?

[@MKandTJ]

I don’t believe so!

[@Beun007]

The best experience and start with licorice is apekoppies!

[@MKandTJ]

Good to know 👍🏼

[@bleppebleppsson1169]

MORE MUSTARD!

[@bleppebleppsson1169]

ffs....

[@MKandTJ]

More mustard! Lol 😂

[@tillylovesholland1161]

Poffertjes are NOT mini pancakes! Its an very different food! But its awesome!

[@MKandTJ]

Lol are you Dutch?

[@PaulaBean]

@@MKandTJ The difference between a pancake and a poffertje is the addition of yeast to the batter, which causes the poffertje to rise and become airy. A lot of butter is also used for a poffertje, both in the batter and for frying.

[@JulesStoop]

Licorice is so divisive! 😅 I have never met a dutch person who doesn’t like or at least tolerate it and I have also never met a North American who does like it. I guess it’s really something you need to grow up with in order to acquire the taste.

[@tillylovesholland1161]

There are a lot of American things i dont like to eat. I am a Nederlander, like some DROP as we call it but not all of them and i rarely eat it. So......

[@JulesStoop]

@@tillylovesholland1161 I understand why you can’t like all food. Personally I can’t eat mayonaise which still is something I grew up with. But licorice seems to be in a category of its own :)

[@MKandTJ]

Ha! This is such an interesting observation! I am thinking we need to do a poll lol 😂

[@MKandTJ]

There are a lot of American foods we don’t like either lol 😂 What is DROP?

[@JulesStoop]

@@MKandTJ ‘drop’ in Dutch is literally licorice. Both the sweet and salty varieties.

[@wouterhoogers2615]

raw herring isnt raw ;). Its slowly cooked itself or 'cured' in salt

[@MKandTJ]

lol well this guy went all out because he pulled it from a bucket of ice water 💦

[@ChrisRedfield--]

Its salted herring (soused herring).

[@MKandTJ]

Delicious 😋

[@Beun007]

Question though is... do you guys have any idea how many calories you took in...? I guarantee: at least 2000! Seriously....

[@MKandTJ]

Now you understand why we don’t do food tours everyday!

[@jimmymiata]

Kroketten or Bitterballen don't need mustard, its an insult to the one that cooked and prepared them ,As soon as a kroket needs mustard its a sign the kroket is not prepared well or cheap stuf than been to long in the freezer of some supermarket

[@MKandTJ]

Uh oh!

[@hettyslooter4533]

We do not consume the most sweets in the world.

[@MKandTJ]

Yeah… who wants that title? Lol 😝

[@Beun007]

Herring should be eaten without garnish!

[@MKandTJ]

Must be an acquired taste 🐟lol

[@user-he4qx6hq4e]

If you don't like the food in Holland Stay at home

[@niallmcgregor3979]

The dude moaned about everything throughout the entire video.

[@MKandTJ]

So glad you watched the entire video.

[@GabberPinda]

So? His video his reaction😂👍

[@niallmcgregor3979]

Its Amsterdam!! There should be nothing to complain about, but point noted thank you.@@GabberPinda

[@zarajenkins6948]

​@@niallmcgregor3979well everybody is different....embrace that 😊

[@niallmcgregor3979]

Humility is not easy in this messed up world but I'm trying. @@zarajenkins6948

[@damiaanspatrick2050]

Not French but Belgian fries.

[@MKandTJ]

For real? 😮

[@kevartje1295]

*Buys raw fish* "if you dont like fish, don't get this, it's very fishy." yeah well duh.... You also got the hardest, chewiest licorice you could pick. The coins are the toughest out there, any other licorice is easier to eat.

[@zacksmith2227]

Just enough time to realize the other half are living better than you . Time for an upgrade.

[@MKandTJ]

Thanks for watching! 😀

[@lenasmith5927]

Ik vraag me af denken deze expads mensen denken dat Nederland alleen Amsterdam is.🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️iedere dag dezelfde gedoe ga buiten Amsterdam zeg pfff

[@MKandTJ]

Klinkt alsof we meer dan een week nodig hebben. Bedankt voor het kijken!

[@justincase2610]

The girl should eat less, walk more.

[@MKandTJ]

Thank you for watching :)

Don't be an asshole man. She did a good job and she's a cutie. Not everyone is skin over bone ;)
