Dutch STREET FOOD Tour! (First Time in Rotterdam, Netherlands)

[@DeanaandPhil]

What is your favorite street food dish? If you liked this video, you may enjoy: First Time in the Netherlands - Food Tour (kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHbVZ5yrethpobcsi=xbMgqmdHk_aJbJrT ) or Trying REAL DUTCH FOOD in Amsterdam (kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5_RmKiQia16fpYsi=JF9MKo5JQ-F4e2QV )

One of the staples in the Netherlands is "Erwtensoep". It's a split pea soup with smoked sausage. As a Dutchie, who lives abroad, that is one of the things I miss.

[@mavadelo]

Saucijzenbroodje: The ij is an actual letter in Dutch, kind of a replacement for the Y. The sound would be akin to the ei in Heidi.

[@baskkev7459]

The poffertjes where over priced. And if they taste like pancake they are made wrong they need to be more fluffy as pancakes. And the gril thing they where made on is not a nornal dicht version

[@baskkev7459]

And that worstenbroodje was not a real one. Not even close, that's like throwing a random piece of meat in a hamburger bun and calling it a hotdog. A real worstenbroodje is the same length, but half the size. The worst is more a piece of ground beef sausage. And the other layer or crust part is more of a Dough, a dough like a cross between bread and pastery.

[@mennovanrij9334]

Guys, you missed out on the 'Kapsalon' ('Barber's Shop'), which is rather sad that you missed it. Rotterdam is the home of the Kapsalon, it was invented in this town! Basically, French fries with shawarma meat topped with garlic sauce, Suriam peanut sauce etc. Variations are possible! Kapsalon even has its own Wiki page. Oh btw, bitterballen-style food is often referred to as 'brown fruit'. Finally, as a local, I think you managed to find good background spots when filming this. Thanks for the efforts to make my town 'shine'.

[@facetankhank]

[@Iflie]

Yeah and the taste of the poffertjes is great as long as they use the bukwheat flour, otherwise it's mainly a small pancake. It makes them more nutty in taste and a lot of places skip it.

[@Iflie]

@@jannetteberends8730 Yeah the dutch are not much better informed in many cases. The old taste is hard to find in many stands. I think because buckwheat flour is harder to work with and they want the prettiest fluffiest poffertjes. I don't think real poffertjes wil be that good with nutella, butter and powdered sugar is the best way with those. My moms were amazing and almost totaly flat, haha But did not taste like regular pancakes.

[@RayHolland494]

Yeah, the person who invented it (he requested the dish as the very first person) recently passed away.

[@RayHolland494]

@@on-the-pitch-p3w he ordered it regularly as a hairdresser who had his barbershop next to a Turkish snackbar. He asked for that specific combination of things which the restaurant did not sell normally. So the Turkish restaurant got to slowly know it as "Kapsalon" which basically means barbershop. People seen him eat it or order it and tried it themselves and it took off nationwide. So yeah, I believe he ate it alot. 😂

[@philipje1]

Some extra info: Friet/patat: The fries you ate are called a "patatje oorlog", which means fries of war. I think refering to the battlefield and all the mess you make with the peanut sauce (saté, from Indonesia (old colony)) and mayonaisse with the onions. As you mentioned, Dutch fries (called "frietjes" below the rivers and "patat" above) come in different sizes. The ones you ate are the classical thick size, but there are also some that are called "oma's frieten", grandma's fries, which are cut more roughly and thicker. Belgian fries do show similarities with especially the latter. By the way, mayo also differs between the NL and Belgium, where the Belgian one is more sour. I like both a lot. Both countries have a real "frietcultuur" or fries culture. You typically buy all of that, including "brown food" in a "frietkraam/patatkraam" in the NL or a "frietkot" in Belgium, which both refer to a small stall in the street. A store is called a "snackbar/frituur" in the NL, but I think in Belgium they also call it a frietkot. Both countries also use the word "frituur" to describe both the stalls and the stores. As you may realize, lots of words for the same concept, a store, but it underlines the importance in both cultures. The more you know. Febo/trekmuur/automatiek: That is besides the "trekmuur" you still find at the Febo stores in the Netherlands. I think you have already used them. Unique relic from the early 1900s using I think a German invention called an "automatiek" or automat in English. Lost popularity almost all over the world in the 1950s, except for the NL! Poffertjes: Poffertje(s) are indeed small pancakes and fluffy. They are tasty with butter and powdered sugar, but are really expensive where you bought them. The classic style tastes very good too. Vla: The "vanille vla" is not really something you drink out of the package. Although almost similar in thickness, that would be a "drinkyoghurt". Vla is typically something you eat as desert in a bowl, sometimes topped with whipped cream. When you add syrup (like you use for lemonade, often raspberry or strawberry flavour), it's called a vlaflip. When you add chocolate flavoured vla to vanilla, it's called duovla or dubbelvla. When you add small little pieces of crispy chocolate balls (really tiny), it's called bolinovla. Very tasty, all of them. Kroket: A kroket is effectively a big bitterbal (or perhaps the other way around). Both the same beef filling. There is also a different variation called a "goulashkroket" which, understandably, has goulash inside. Couple of other more niche variations, but those two are the most known ones, where the beef filling is the most popular. Saucijzenbroodje/worstenbroodje: Some I think unknown sausage, probably spiced minced meat, put in "bladerdeeg" or puff pasty in English. Other variations are called a "worstenbroodje", which uses bread instead of puff pastry, and originates from the province of Noord-Brabant (their pride and joy), located below the three rivers, but is nowadays sold all over the NL. The one you ate had an abnormal bread shape, way too wide than normal. Last popular variation is a "frikendelbroodje" which contains a frikandel and often curry sauce in also a more greasy puff pastry. Indonesian food: As mentioned in the paragraph about the "patatje oorlog", the NL has a lot of Indonesian food, like the UK has Indian food. It is Dutchified, so adapted to our palate. For some strange reason, it's often consumed via take-out , called the "afhaalchinees". "Chinees" refers to Chinese, of course, but is not Chinese food at all, but, as mentioned before, Indonesian food. It seems like it has been completely rebranded and sold as if it is Chinese by Chinese workers. Alternatively, when you go to a true Indonesian restaurant, "rijsttafels" are really popular (rice tables, literally). Like tappas in Spain, where you all share a lot of different plates and pick what you like. Really nice. price performance ratio = prijskwaliteitsverhouding, by the way.

How nice you visited my hometown, Rotterdam. Pomm's is around the corner of my Rotterdam office. I practically grew up, and had my first job on that street. Had lunch at Pomm's, Bram Ladage and in the Markthal many times. You didn't visit our Chinatown? I do two, three tours for friends, relatives, foreigners, strangers, showing them all places worth visiting, and all sorts of food. When I came to live in Rotterdam, it was predominantly a white city, in a time when people considered macaroni and spaghetti exciting foreign food. Since then Rotterdam became the largest blue collar city of which the majority has an immigrant background: +180 etnicities. That shows in the food diversity. You visited the Markthal quite early. Normally it's quite hectic and full of tourists 😊 Thanks for the video 👌🏼

The peanut sate sauces comes from the Indonesian influence in the Netherlands. Really enjoying your videos.

FYI, the harbor area with the "strange" ship you mentioned is the Museum harbor packed with historic ships and other harbor things like old cranes and such. The naval museum is right next to it. And another FYI: On the plaza next to that museum and harbor is a statue looking to the sky with arms raised and missing its heart. It represents Rotterdam's destroyed city center by German bombers during WW2. This was how the Germans made the Dutch government surrender. Also the reason why the Rotterdam city center is so modern and open because it was totally rebuilt after the war. Always nice to see people enjoying the city I was born and raised in. Most just visit Amsterdam which is totally different as it filled with small streets and historic buildings compared to mostly modern Rotterdam.

Poffertjes, like pancakes, are really easy and affordable to make yourself. Always add buckwheat flower to the plain flower (the ratio depends on which recipe you use) and yeast, that is what gives them their specific taste. Traditionally eaten with butter and powdered sugar. About the gulls: where I live, near the beach, they don’t wait patiently until you drop some food. They simply grab it out of your hands in full flight. Always keep your food close to your chest, so they can’t get to it.

quick history lesson about the sate: the Netherlands had a lot of colonies, like a whole lot, and many major ones were in southeast asia, primarily indonesia, which is why things you'd commonly find as streetfood there, are also available here, and why our "chinese" restaurants are actually primarily westernified (im gonna call it that) indonesian restaurants.

Tip: Also try herring (called 'Hollandse Nieuwe' or 'Maatjes Haring') with chopped onion. You can either hold the fish by the tail and lower it into your mouth, or ask the fishmonger to cut it in pieces and serve it with a wooden pick/forklet ('in stukjes'). Also try the sour herring ('Zure Haring'), and in its rolled-up form: "Rolmops", the latter is filled with pickled onion. Finally, try a smoked herring - reminds a bit of smoked mackerel.

[@SuperPassionflower]

mmmm herring!!!! so delicioussss!!! New herring, Hollandse Nieuwe: best never to eat it with onions/pickles.. just the fish.. the onions actually spoil the taste of the freshly caught fish.. one uses it rather in later months (after October when it's not really new catch anymore) or to camouflage when a herring could be "off"....

[@PaulaBean]

@@SuperPassionflower I'm under the impression that onions are added for the texture, not to disguise any kind of spoilage (it's also a myth that people in the Middle Ages used spices to make rotten meat edible - it won't).

[@SuperPassionflower]

@@PaulaBean the info I have was given to me by a reputed -now retired- herring vendor and confirmed in a few fish shops here in Amsterdam. to be properly correct, it's to do with the salts used in the barrels of herring. the longer the fish stays in barrel the more it affects the taste, it gets too salty over time which is not the case when it's fresh catch say kept until Oct. adding onions and pickle neutralises the saltness. it simply became a custom to take herring with onions and pickle even when it's new catch, and that is a shame in a way

[@SuperPassionflower]

oh, in addition, since you mention Hollandse Nieuwe and also Maatjes Haring: Hollandse Nieuwe is the new catch and can be officially named as such up until Sept. After that it actually should no longer be called Hollandse Nieuwe but Maatjes Haring (and yes, onions and pickles come in handy)

I have never been to the Netherlands, but I ate dutch food in Aruba, and it was absolutely amazing. The Gouda cheese, the croissants,The Poffertjes, and the Dutch pancakes were amazing. To me, the Dutch pancakes were my favourite! They come both savoury and sweet. You probably already had them. Nevertheless, awesome videos as always I just subscribed.😊

[@Treinbouwer]

Croissant is French.

[@Busybeeee]

@@Treinbouwer I know. I am French , born in Paris France but somehow the Dutch made perfect French croissants! Brought me right back to my childhood!

@@tkuzu9548 There is some similar dish in Scotland, look for 'Scottish Egg'. It's a hard boiled egg in a coating of minced meat, then breaded and deepfried. Bon appetit!

[@sntxrrr]

In slang we sometimes refer to McDonald's as the metro. Also, we more typically talk about quality instead of performance when it comes to price. So we are more likely to say 'een goede prijs/kwaliteit verhouding'.

[@devind132]

Those tiny pancakes look good. Do they offer them with syrup?

[@s.b.907]

In those shops they most likely do. But for most Dutch, the original topping is the way to go. Just real butter and powdered sugar. We do use syrup on Dutch pancakes.

[@PimSnaathorst46]

When you are in Rotterdam, you must try Bram Ladage, you get a puntzak fries with mayonaise or other sauce, these are the best!

[@Dutchbelg3]

Poffertjes are best with powdered sugar and a small lump of real butter. Anything else is a waste of money. Customization is very American and not desired by Dutchies. Any place offering that is tourist trap. All these instagrammable places are too expensive and too overdone. Just accept the true taste of Dutch tradition.

[@ScoobyDoo67]

You guys are great. Thanks for this video! ❤

[@aangepast7167]

As a Belgian, I have never eaten fries that were the same thickness/thicker than what you have just eaten. If you serve those fried potato wedges in a 'Frituur' in Belgium you'd have to find a new job within a year. And don't forget, we invented them so all the other varients are "wrong". :p

[@KajiRider1997]

Well you guys don't have peanut sauce so a lot of us don't really care. Its like Italians complaining about new York style Pizza or what ever the living fuck dr oetkar ristorante pizza is supposed to be. just static in the void.

Allé zenne, fout fout fout. Voila de arrogantie. Jullie in Vlaanderen hebben Franse en Congolese etcetera. invloeden, culinair gesproken, maar wij Belgische, Franse, Surinaamse, (Chinees, Inheemse, Indiase, Javaanse) en Indonesische gerechten. Wij zijn hier, evenals jullie, gezegend. Geen plaats voor arrogantie....

[@mennovanrij9334]

I think that the Belgian mayo has more vinegar than the Dutch version. More vinegar is historically correct. It was custom in the older days: (even boiled) potatoes with a dash of vinegar used to be a common dish in the Low Lands.

The ship on 7:19 is a graanelevator (grain sucker) wat was used to suck grain or other powdery or granular cargo from one ship and blow it in another ship. (from an inland vessel to a sea vessel or vice versa).

[@ReadR00ster1]

so basically Holland is like the Southern US where everything is breaded and deep fried?

[@MrChiel78]

As a Dutchy, I'd say yes. I can't think of any dutch snacks that isn't either fried or covered in dough. We do have plenty of non-fried doughy stuff like stamppot, raw herring, snert (peasoup Dutch style), but not really as snack. If you want something different as a snack it's going to be a foreign kitchen to choose.

Hahaha love the vla part. Dutch people eat it as dessert after dinner. You should try vla flip. It is a mix of vanillevla, yoghurt and strawberry sirup. Or mix chocolate vla and vanille vla.

[@racingweirdo]

Wait did they visited rotterdam without eating "kapsalon"??? The famous dish from rotterdam😂😂😂

[@TheEspionoza]

I can remember they already tried it. But Rotterdam is home for Kapsalon.

[@DeanaandPhil]

Do you know of a good kapsalon place in Rotterdam? We tried one there and it was not that great (and didn't include it in this video) We enjoyed the one we ate in Amsterdam much more!

[@Claudiaatje212]

​@@DeanaandPhilKapsalon was invented by shoarma shop "El Aviva" in Rotterdam. I've never had theirs tbh (been vegetarian for 10+ years), but it might be nice to try the original 🙂

Not in the city center.

[@sydouken010crisostomodossa8]

Kapsalon is. Turkeys capeverdean dish not dutch

[@SamDiwi]

To answer one of your questions, "Vla" is indeed not really meant to be drank like that. It's mostly used for desserts or some people have it with their cereal in the morning. Of course, you can eat it however you like, but a bowl of strawberries, banana and Vla can go a long way as an amazing dessert.

[@edwardeduardus7398]

Prawn croquettes, they are more populair in Belgium/France/Spain/Portugal but my stomach is tinkling now to visit Rotterdam... For the sweeties: Go to the South of Netherlands (Maastricht) and get: Proemevlaai (Plum tart?) with cream on top :D . kzbin.info/www/bejne/rIikoX9qqdB2hqs

This wasn't a traditional "worstenbroodje". Worstenbroodjes traditionally were from Brabant (Noord-Brabant) in the south of the Netherlands (Eindhoven should have had some good ones). There is a lot of quality difference in the ones being sold. Mostly the ones in bakeries and butchers are of good quality. The ones in supermarkets are hit-and-miss. In the past almost everyone made their own at home for festivities (after Christmas midnight mass for example).

[@ilex471]

More specfically, the Easter Vigil on Saturday night. People came home late and wanted sometging easy but filling after such a long mass.

Like your video’s as a dutch! Next time in the Netherlands you should really try “boterkoek”; its pastry and tasted sooooo good! Vla is eaten in a bowl with a spoon, sometimes with wipped cream. Also you should go on the countryside and by dutchfarm cheese on a farm shop, try the “old” cheese; like the dutch version of parmesan!

[@markhellemans3440]

You should try the Belgian "worstenbrood". It is massive, with one or two sausages in it. You buy it in a bakery, but not all have it, and not all the time. And there is also the "appelbol", which is a pastry with a whole spiced and sugared apple in it. I normally combine both, start with the savoury "worstenbrood" and finish with an "appelbol". In general, if you are in Belgium, go to a bakery and try a lot of the stuff they offer.
