Thanks for visiting my home City Jovie! Glad you liked it! Funny, you see things we as "Grunnegers" don't see anymore haha.

[@xXTheoLinuxXx]

And that was only a glimpse of how beautiful the north is :) The city of Groningen is something special, it has a certain kind of atmosphere that you won't find easily in other cities.

[@ronaldbiver523]

Melbourne Australia calling, I used to live in Groningen in the DISCO era, it was absolutely a RIOT ( I mean fun!), the students from all over the world study in Groningen, at night time, bars & disco's in full swing!!!! Those were the days in the disco era, pulsating disco music loud through the nights & early mornings, big flairs, platform shoes, body shirts & of course long hair afro hairstyle!!!!!!!

The real eierbal is not with curry around it. It has to be with goulash from the kroket

Great video of my hometown! You really did the city justice. Glad you had a good time!

[@destiny035]

Normally eierballen are made with chicken eggs afaik. The website of de drie gezusters says the mini ones are made with kwartel eieren (quail eggs) and with kerrie (curry) ragout. Sounds delicious!

[@AliceGirl6]

Yay you visited my hometown Groningen! I am glad you are showing some of the less visited parts of the Netherlands. I came to Groningen for uni and haven't left ever since. I love living here, the atmosphere is just wonderfull and unlike most other cities in this country! A place where nobody lookes twice at some random people dancing in the streets ;p

[@EvertfromNederland]

9:38 most likely an egg from a "Kriel kip". You might know them as "Bantam chicken" . A smaller variety of chicken, laying smaller eggs. It seemed too small to be quail eggs, but i couldn't quite tell on camera. Anyway, great video, lovely viewing.

[@cristakampert8740]

Jeeeeej. My hometown. So happy I went there 8 years ago!!!

[@elizabethwang8467]

Feel happy to see so many familiar places and landmarks in Groningen. But I have not been to the city center in the evening for several months.

Thanks u of the wonderful video of my home town Groningen. Nice to see it three your tourist eyes.i Saw new things and over loved in Groningen my whole life (30? Years) I Will try the mini eggballs.ive never seen the smole ones and didn't knew the 3 gezusters has them. Ik also never went to the prinsentuin bit Will put it on the top of my list. Thanks again But i love the forum and Also sugjested it to u.

[@tonys1636]

They look like mini Scotch eggs using Quail eggs, They could also be Pigeon eggs, about the same size but very rare to keep Pigeons for their eggs alone.

Dance away through the Dutch provinces. Shakira is so cute. Lovely video!

[@TheTwan85]

Great video! And I can totally see why you'd fall in love with Shakira 😍 Being from Brabant myself I don't think I've ever been to Groningen so it was interesting to get an impression of the ambiance over there. It looked a lot more fun than I'd expected since down here in the south we always like to think of the most northern provinces as rigid.

[@JoviesHome]

It's like that in every country, it seems! That rigid Northern stereotype, isn't that interesting?

[@TheTwan85]

@@JoviesHome maybe it has to do with the weather or something? On average it's a few degrees colder in the north than in the south, so maybe we assume the people are too? I don't know...

I did not realize the last time I visited my grand father's old farm in Zuurdijk that Groningen was only a short distance away. I very much would like to visit Groningen as soon as this covid thing gets situated. I dislike not being able to visit family in NL.

[@MrCountDracula]

What a nice video and welcome to my hometown!, I can see you enjoyed your trip to Groningen. There are many other things to see in Groningen, what about the many canals, and ofcourse our nature parks Noorderplantsoen and Stadspark, they are worth to visit also. It's good to see you've been trying "eierballen" also, they are great and very tasteful I believe. Thank you for your great review about this city.

[@lisettejansen8431]

Yay Sander! :) I'm glad you followed my advice in visiting the Prinsentuin. Gorgeous, isn't it?

[@humtidumty1]

The normal sized eierbal is indeed filled with a chicken egg. I'm not sure what type of egg they jused here. The ragout should be with curry so that was correct. The taste buds worked good! 😊 You did miss the knol's koek bakery. That is part of the yummy food we have in stock here.

[@PriscillaMck]

I don’t think I ever visited the places you went-maybe the tower-so I will have to go next time. And good job pronouncing Groningen. My wife still can’t get those Dutch “G” sounds right 😆

[@erikmulder2574]

I have a softspot for Groningen. Besides being born in the province, I like Stad, as the city of Groningen is called by locals, because of it’s bars, students and the atmosphere. One of its shopping streets has been selected as best shopping street in the Netherlands. What I am missing is the fun stuff the Province of Groningen has to offer. Bourtange, Klooster ter Apel just to mention two of the many nice things worth a visit. Question for you, did you experience the local dialect? If so, were you able to understand? Next to Eierballen, there are some other typical foods. Groninger koek and Droge worst come to mind. So, maybe something to explore in a second visit.

[@matthewburden9403]

Here you talk about Friesian dialect when it was your Rudolphus Agricola of Baflo who brought Latin, Greek language and culture from Rome to Groningen...Friesen will always be Friesian.

[@rubynelson1164]

It is good to see Editor Dan.

[@TerryVogelaar]

We planned to visit Groningen this summer, but due to the lockdown, we didn't book yet. Anyhow, I don't think I can top your dance moves anyway. When visiting Friesland, do try Keallepoat! I stayed in Friesland for a few weeks to paint a mural, and I was totally hooked on this delicacy. It is a bit like taaitaai and pepernoten, but it is available throughout the year; not only around Sinterklaas. The Frisian language is between English and Dutch, so it should be the closest relative to English from all the 'living' languages, but that doesn't mean you will be able to understand any of it when they talk among each other. I sure didn't.

[@JoviesHome]

Thanks for sharing. It's so interesting how different languages can be, isn't it?

Quail's egg or Bantam egg?

[@Nynke_K]

I'm from the province of Groningen and have snapped myself up one of those good-looking tall men, but I've never eaten an eierbal - when I was growing up it was one of the many cafeteria snacks that didn't sound particularly interesting, and I didn't know it was special! But now I'm really curious. I looked up the mini eierballen on the Drie Gezusters menu and it just says 'little eggs', as if it's small chicken eggs! Strange...

The Martinitoren was build late 15th century. The mayor of the city was so proud of the tower that he ordered two men to cut out the architect's eyes, so he wasn't able to ever make a building like that again. Story goes the architect still visits his tower every night. 👻
