FOOD TOUR IN FRIESLAND *SO GOOD!* (sneek and franeker, the netherlands)

[@janetross1900]

My great grandmother was born in Sneek, Friesland. My parents went on a cruise to Friesland. I found a home where are my mother’s grandma was born. There were beautiful lace curtains in the windows and a gorgeous rug on the table. My mom really got a charge out of connecting with her family history in this way. I wish she was still alive so she could watch this episode❤

[@markuserikssen]

You're always welcome back in Friesland!

[@jjdoubleu6034]

This means that you are still Frisian, come back.

[@DomainGoat]

I live in Sneek and you definitely should come back next year to experience the full SneekWeek! The opening at the Waterpoort is always very nice!

[@boerde6202]

Ze hebben ook eens een camper gehuurd. Misschien deze x een klein bootje? Of een jacht? Aan de andere kant zijn ze het hele land nog aan het uitvinden. (Niet dat ik bekend ben met heel Nederland als Fries😆)

[@SophiaStarTiger]

Ooh same

[@grimmhaven]

I've said it before and I'll say it again, suikerbrood is the best bread to make "french" toast out of!

[@buncharted]

yes it’s so good!

[@Coilla85]

Put some apple in between 2 thin slices and toast it. It's delicious!

[@demensclay6419]

Suikerbrood as toast?? I thought Ive heard them all! Will try it though.

Ow wow, your Dutch is becoming better and better!Chapeau!

At 10:48 Translation of the label: "De sjirurch" means "The surgeon" (or more roughly doctor). The label says it is for "Shitskippers (captains of sailing ships that in the olden days transported dung), troubadours (traveling musicians) and other scum". "De beerenburg is myn sjirurg" (The beerenburg is my surgeon") is a song by Piter Wilkens. It is on KZbin.

[@buncharted]

thank you!

[@elkee2938]

widow joustra was a widow who had a kind of pharmacy where this herbal drink became very popular. behind the shop is a factory where it is still brewed. The spices were brought from Amsterdam to Sneek on skutsjes (boats) around 1875.

[@MIGHTYcbu]

Welcome in my hometown Sneek/Snits! I was born just a few houses down from Weduwe Joustra. Sneekweek is Europe's biggest inland water regatta (sailing competition), but most people only know it from the party in the city. It's always very busy. If you want to enjoy a sailing competition I would go look at SKS Skûtsjesilen, they race with old freightships, it's at the same time as the Sneekweek and they have races across Fryslân for two weeks. You can watch it from the water or land. Glad you enjoyed the treats here ❤

[@Dutchbelg3]

Another nice trip for you guys! And nice weather finally! I love the suikerbrood! The Frisian suikerbrood is seriously delicious and you NEED real butter on it!

[@jessehulzebos8177]

11:07 The last beerenburg you guys had is a collaboration with a 1 michelin star chef, he was my teacher in culinary school and is doing a lot with frisian products and 3D printing food.

[@thefuller]

Great video. What blows my mind is how quiet is just everywhere they go compared to my life here in the US.

[@ringerheringa3052]

Every Frisian bakery has it's own recepy for Oranjekoek. You should try them all.

[@fergusgraem3625]

I live in Dokkum, the most Northern city in the netherlands, in Friesland. Its a small city but very fun to visit. The original Beerenburg is from here. Its called 'Sonnema Beerenburg'.

[@elkee2938]

Hi i am from Sneek, i was on the same day there at Weduwe Joustra 😁 Droge worst is totally different then (Hema) rookworst. We have different types of droge worst, hard and soft. But i dont eat it because it is red meat and not healthy. The Hoorn des overvloeds wasn't there because of repair. Nice video, thank you so much!

[@mennovanrij9334]

Great! Franeker and Sneek are good choices! About Beerenburg... I remember the 'old days' during winters when we poured some Beerenburg into our hot chocolate drink. Calling it an 'undercover'...

[@sanderdeboer6034]

Sneek is personally my favorite, and my nephew is in love with the model train museum. Shipping museums is also nice.

[@FriesianHorses]

Yeah!! Sneek it is 😁👍🏼 I have always lived there and now I live in a village next to Sneek. I love all the food 😋 Yvonne ❤

[@remcohoman1011]

18:45 the worst in the soup is droge worst, but as it is heated along with the soup, it gets softer, that's why its texture changes. It s definately droge worst, but the best mostersoep comes from Groningen ;)

[@ImRivendill]

7:28 I will let it slide, but Frisian is an official language, not a dialect! Fun fact: Frisian is English's closest living relative with 80% lexical similarity. (I plucked that from Google) 10:48 "De Sjirurch" or as in Dutch "De Chirurg" translates to "The Surgeon", I don't know why they chose this name for the Beerenburg though.. I'm so happy you tried Beerenburg. Where I live we sometimes make jokes that if you travel from Groningen (the province) to Friesland you'd have to bring a bottle of Beerenburg as "toll payment". 19:31 Correct! Frisian drogeworst is wetter than the Groningse/Drenthse drogeworst. I personally prefer the Groningse drogeworst myself, even though I'm Frisian. Lovely video! It was really cool seeing some of the stuff I know through some fresh eyes.

[@Beetshelps]

Komt van Piter Wilkens - De Bearenburch Is Myn Sjirurch

I'm Frisian but prefer the Drentse droge worst. I prefer not to have cloves added to the droge worst. Plus the Drentse droge worst is way more dry in my experience 👌🏻

[@NRfun]

I'm Frisian, I speak Frisian and I love Berenburg. 😁 It's so cool you went there!

[@flessuh]

Nice to see you in Friesland! Being from Hindeloopen myself and now living in Leeuwarden. So that's 2 extra fountains

[@swampje1985]

I'd love to see you visit Bolsward. It's quite a bit smaller than Sneek and it has no train station, but it has that small town charm. 😇

[@TheSumo1955]

love you two , being an Ausie married to a dutch girl and traveled there many times and miss it heaps, even though we travel there every 2 or 3 years and lived there when we were in our early 20s and should never have left but hey ho after thought is always good, keep posting and keep enjoying life in the NETHERLANDS

[@RutgertheFarmer]

Welcome back in Friesland. It warms my heart to hear and notice you like it in the province with the most lakes in the NL. It is often a bit overlooked by lots of travelers or foreign residents of the NL. Good to see it is not lost on you two :). Just make your way back and check all other bigger cities and the little towns have their charms too. In fact, maybe come back for a bikeride tour around and across the province, be sure to experience Fryslân from the water, lakes and canals sometime! Also, visit the remnants of the terpen/warden/wierden, hills of land that are scattered around northern Netherlands where people used to live when water overtook the land like swamps in earlier centuries. The Sneekweek-ecperience is one for the list too, as is visiting het skûtsjesilen (sail boat race) or some of the national parks or woods. When you decide to visit Heerenveen, I will gladly be your guide or meet up for a coffee :). En ga zo door met jullie Nederlands, dat begint erg goed te worden 🎉

[@zangeresisira4717]

I live in Sneek and I also don't like oranjekoek. Taking the whipped cream helps :) Tip with sugarbread. Slice it in cubes and bake it butter wtith a little salt till it is nice golden and crispy. Add cinamon icecream and enjoy :)

[@imkevanderpas]

Yesss do the Sneekweek the right way! Also, IJlst is very close to Sneek. One of the eleven cities and has a very pretty fountain. IJlst has a big windmill that you can enter and it's also famous for it's gardens that are on the other side of the road. Like you have the house, then the street and then the garden. Very pretty!

[@urbandiscount]

the walk from Sneek, along the Geeuw, to IJlst is very nice

[@NeRo-zd1fv]

Just noticed your channel today! You guys have a really great vibe with how you present the Netherlands! So I've like and subscribed! Would be a great next level and added value to see & hear guys interact in Dutch with the Dutch locals a bit more often throughout your videos here and there! It doesn't have to be fluent! Even if it'd be just a few words in basic beginners Dutch. By the way, there is actually a really special & unique dentist in Sneek! People from all over the country (even all the way from Limburg) travel to him for dental care! What makes him so special is the fact that he helps people restore dental health using a completely painless non toxic naturopathic method! Would be great if you could visit him next time you visit Sneek. Maybe even do a short interview with him about his unique method and also about Friesian history because he has a whole lot of fascinating knowledge about it! Also if you can, do visit the town of Stavoren in West Friesland. Stavoren is one of the stops on the Dutch Elfstedentocht. The Elfstedentocht is the "Eleven Cities Tour", a historical Dutch ice skating contest from city to city on natural ice held in the Dutch winter when winter temperatures get cold enough to allow for safe scating on natural ice! There is also a very special American fellow countrywoman of yours who lives in Stavoren, and whom you guys should definitely meet and interview one day! Looking forward to your next video! ❤

[@sijbrenrintjema5044]

You should be visiting us in Dokkum! It's one of the cities where the elfstendentoch is going trough and it has a rich history

[@swampje1985]

The 'droge worst' in Friesland is known for the spices used, especially the cloves. I didn't know I would miss that until you move away from Friesland... 😅

[@sytsebloem1979]

I live in Leeuwarden. I know all these products very well. Their tastes very a lot from bakery to bakery. I like this video a lot.

[@trashmail8]

Haha, the Frisian Oranjekoek from "Bakkerij Siesling" (Siesling's Bakery) happens to be one of the best. So I'm not surprised that the two of you liked it so much! 😄😋 Was there very recently myself... crazy that I just could have run into the two of you! 😃

You missed the famous sneeker drabbelkoek. Mayby for next year😉 Nice video guys. Greetings from Sneek.

[@Janna-vdP]

I was waiting for that too!

[@KeesBoons]

I found myself, more or less by accident, in Franeker many years ago. I was studying at the time and had the OV-card that came with it. In stead of studying at home, I regularly took the train, and went where ever it would go. When I found myself in Friesland one day, I kind of took the opportunity to watch around some more, until I arrived in Franeker. I liked it so much that I was back, just in time, at the railway station to get back home. Took many trips to Franeker after that, but haven't been there in many years. As far as I can tell from what you've shown us, it hasn't become worse. You could do worse than living in Franeker, but I don't think it would combine well with your traveling desires. But, what do I know ;o).

[@buncharted]

life is all about compromise 😅

[@TheTekknician]

@@buncharted If you ever, ever ARE actually going to live in Franeker, try to live next or close to the canals so if the Elfstedentocht EVER happens again, you're right on top of it. Prepare to be amazed though, because HALF the netherlands and a sheer amount of foreigners will fill up all the banks along the canal(s).

[@jpdj2715]

Het Gerechtshof is such a beautiful wordplay as name of a restaurant. I guess the building may have been the court of justice (gerechtshof in Dutch) in the past but the word gerecht also means course or dish (and hof means court)

[@Coilla85]

Yes, it used to be a court of justice :D

[@eddys.3524]

"Frisian Dialect"... oh, noooooo.... that's a serious mistake. Frisian is an official language. But Frisia is wonderfull.. good to see you appreciate it too !

Frisian language was there before the Dutch language, thats why it is not a dialect. There is also a kind of Frisian language in Sneek, it is called Snekers.

Hiya. What an amazing thing to see someone enjoying the cities that are so familiar to me. This might have been mentioned: but Oranjekoek has tons of different versions. Every bakery has its own recipe, so it's totally normal to come across versions you'll like more or less than others :)

[@urbandiscount]

also different patterns of decoration. Whipped cream is a no go!

[@666Maeglin]

There is a lot of difference between droege woarst made from different butchers and the frisian sausage factories. Some are hearder others are softer..

[@rinkeltinkel]

The question at the end is a fair question though! You have many versions of droge worst, some have dried longer than others. The ones that have dried longer, are more firm and chewy. Droge worst that has dried a bit shorter, is more soft and moist. Each person might prefer a different type of droge worst ;)

[@cathje832]

Hi, I'm from Sneek. The Beerenburg is verry nice indeed. My husband's sister worked there for years at the distillery Weduwe Joustra. It's also nice in some strong coffee with wipped cream or in some coca cola. I've had my wedding pictures taken by De Waterpoort. Along with al the other Snekers that get married 😂 Beautiful iconic building

Oranjekoek from the backery is mostly better then from the supermarket 🙂. Depends also on the backery the best supermarket one i had were from the poeisz. I life myself in Friesland so tried some stuff. Try maybe once some wentelteefjes of suikerbrood that was once really nice 😊. Fun fact beerenburg is used if you have a cold. Mostly if you want to drink it normally its together with coke.

[@ramonamaramis]

Such a cool video! The Frisian language is actually an official 2 years master at Groningen University. I am an MA college graduate from Groningen Uni and it was always kinda wholesome to see the dedication of that lil club of students who study the Frisian Language & Culture😊

Suikerbrood isn't just bread with sugar, there's also ginger syrup, cinnamon and pearl sugar in it. Every baker has their own recipe for oranjekoek, so it tastes differently every time. Oh, and don't buy it in the supermarket.

[@Coilla85]

In a museum in Joure there is a book about Oranjekoek. It shows drawings of this delicious treat from so so so many bakers and shows how every baker use their own pattern of (whipped)cream piping and decorations. They also all use their own recipe, which can make them taste quite different from each other. Also cream > whipped cream xD

[@Michiel1972]

The quality of oranjekoek really differs alot from place to place. Some bakeries make absolute delicious oranjekoek, but others don't. Bakery De Korenbloem in Sneek makes some of the best in Friesland.

[@estherwagenaar5000]

Omg i live in sneek, and i love your video’s!😢😮

[@H1SCOTTY]

Very far away, you’re starting to become Dutch, Holland is nearby the province far away. Dry sausage/ droge worst is sold in a wet stage and you can dry it further at home just because it’s personal. I like it to be really dry and hard so it’s more salty and you’re eating slices of a few millimeters instead of wet and thicker.

[@theoloonstra9009]

Sjirurch means Surgeon it is based on a song from a frisian singer. they combined Beerenburg with a herb bitter liquor. The song it is based on is called Beerenburg is mien sjirurch by Piter Wilkens

[@inialoane]

The almond cake is called oranjekoek because of the oragnepealschread and every baker has his own recepy. That's why you liked this one and the one from Hârns not. And there are a lot of frisian dialects because it is a real official language.

As commented below, Frisian is an offshoot of Old English, while Dutch is an offshoot of Lower German, so the two languages are not mutually intelligible, even though they are both from the West-Germanic language family. I once read an interesting comparison. Someone from Maastricht has great difficulty understanding someone from say Groningen or Drenthe, yet both are in the Netherlands and both speak (a form of) Dutch. But that same person from Maastricht can easily understand someone from Aachen or Cologne, who lives in Germany and speaks (a form of) German. About the usage of the language: Not everyone in Friesland can sprak Frisian. In some communities, it is the first language they learn, and they only learn Dutch when they go to school. I once saw an interview with a Dutch speedskater who said that when she is in her hometown with her friends and family, she speaks Frisian because it feels more comfortable. It is an official language of the Netherlands, and local and provincial authorities in Friesland are required to communicate with people in Frisian if they ask for it, but it does not go much further than that. I don't know if you know the lyrics to Paradise by the Dashboard Light by Meat Loaf well, but here is the Frisian version: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHK7gayvfpWBqKM From what I can understand of it, it sounds like a fairly literal translation.

Still a lot of care is provided for mentally disabled, mentally disseased and addicts. It often shows when walking down the streets there. People are rather used to it and it's seemingly ok, which I think is cool.

Alex, your pronunciation of “Sneek week” is spot on 😊👍🏻

[@markuserikssen]

Welcome back to our beautiful province! As a local, I absolutely love oranjekoek, but I can understand that it's not something everyone would enjoy. Also, if you like Franeker, you should definitely visit the city of Dokkum. It's even more pretty. I know that's a bold statement, but it was voted as one of the 5 most beautiful fortified towns by ANWB members. In most Frisian cities, you can hear different languages. Many speak Dutch, Frisian or Stadsfries. In many of the 11 cities, people speak Stadsfries, which is a mixture of Dutch and Frisian, with some local differences. In Sneek many speak Sneekers, which is similar to Liwwadders, Dokkumers, and others, which are all Stadsfries variants. Many people from outside the cities speak normal Frisian, sometimes with local influences. Almost everyone speaks Dutch as well, but many prefer to speak Frisian, Stadsfries or another dialect. Still get it? I know it sounds bit confusing. Another fun fact: Frisian is the closest related language to English out of any language in the world. Since you seem to like Berenburg, I would recommend trying Sonnema Berenburg from Dokkum (now produced in Bolsward, but they still sell it in Dokkum and all over the country as well). In some cafes and restaurants in Dokkum they also sell Dokkumer koffie, which is coffee with a bit of Berenburg in it, similar to Irish coffee. There is also a new luxury restaurant in Dokkum called Ode, their dishes are all made of local Frisian products. They claim to be a "new Frisian dining" restaurant. I haven't been there as it's a bit pricey, but maybe worth checking out if you want to try more Frisian products. It's located next to the Ice Fountain. Btw, the fountain in Sneek is currently under maintenance so they temporarily removed it. Let me know if you need more insider information, I'm here to help!

[@omardekoning6024]

As for the fountain, it was gone due to maintenance. But it's back now..

[@Stormvogel262]

I always wanted to try drabbelkoek from Sneek which reminds me of funnel cake a little bit? Never got the chance to try (can't order it on the internet, you HAVE to go to Friesland or Sneek to try) unfortunately. Anyway, thanks for the new video guys! Always appreciated!!

[@TerryVogelaar]

I can do without Oranjekoek, Suikerbrood and Berenburger, but whenever I'm in Friesland, I need to buy some Keallepoat (Calf's leg). It is a bit similar to Pepernoten or Taaitaai, but better (and available year-round instead of the months leading up to Sinterklaas).

[@marcobreur.]

I was born and raised in Rotterdam, but a part of my ancestors , via my paternal grandmother's lineage, came from Friesland,18th century. Workum and Makkum to be more precise. So, If you ever go back to Friesland I suggest you visit Makkum and pick up a T-shirt with the coat of arms ( and then some) of the place.

Very gezellig! 🙂 And YES you should absolutely enjoy Sneekweek "the right way", it was amazing again. It lasts for a week, this year it was Friday August 2nd through Thursday August 8th. If you want to visit only one day (or rather, evening/night), I would recommend the opening on Friday, or otherwise Saturday, or Tuesday. Those are the busiest and best days. And book a hotel or camping place early, because there are tons of tourists.

Friesland is also famous for its cows among so many, many things. Also, when you go into some of the old buildings you will discover how small things might be because, centuries earlier, the Dutch people were not as tall as they are now so, yeah, stairs can be a challenge until you realize how "little" the Dutch were when they build these homes.

Ending on Aug 16, you "should" have visited the "Skûtsjesilen" sailing boat race of traditional Frisian barges ("flat bottom") under brown sails. It started Aug 3 this year. The Frisian word skûtsjesilen breaks down in skûtsje (in Dutch "schuitje" diminutive of "schuit" - barge) and silen (in Dutch "zeilen" - to sail under sail).

I like it that you use public transport to get around. Much better than always in a car

Never call Frisian a dialect… not only is it a language - it is officially the second language of the Netherlands. That means official documents and procedures can be innFrisian.

Boeiend, mensen mogen fouten maken Karen.

Is gewoon een dialect.

[@elkee2938]

Nee geen dialect omdat de Friese taal er eerst was, daarna pas Nederlands
