OUR *SPICY* 24 HOURS IN GRONINGEN 🥵

[@rikseinen1513]

I used to be a tour guide in Groningen, I worked at both the Martinitoren and I gave food-related tours around the city. It always warms my heart to see people from abroad get so excited about this city that I love!

If you plan on returning, every August there is a 10-11 day cultural festival in the park (Nooderplantsoen) and the city center with music and art displays. In the park there are also a lot of food trucks, which you may enjoy, and some music concerts are even free.

Such a great city Groningen. The food looked great.....the eierbal is best you can eat!

[@markuserikssen]

Welcome back to Groningen! As someone who lives nearby, you showed me a few new places I've never heard of, so thanks for that! The city looked very quiet, maybe a lot of students were gone for vacay? Also, your Dutch is getting better. 8:46 this sounded hilarious, though. 🤣

[@tammo100]

Hi, great job to visit Groningen again! The door represents the history of that area as the former Jewish quarter of the city before WW2. You might have seen the large and beautiful synagogue on the other side of the street, which is partly in use and partly a museum.

[@buncharted]

ooh that’s so much more interesting!

[@msbluejayway]

@@buncharted When you walk through Folkingestraat (the street with the synagogue, there are a lot of things that remind of the Jewish history of the street, and tell the story fo the people who used to live there, but who were murdered during the war. For example, if you look at the sidewalk, you can see a lot of "stolpersteinen". Every stone represends a person or a family that used to live there.

[@PJsGroningen]

What a lovely day you spent in Groningen! Our city is truly one of Netherlands’ best-kept secrets. If you ever plan another trip, we’d love to welcome you at PJs Hostel. Our location is right the city center, making it an ideal base to explore the city. Especially when you have limited time!

[@wienaflierman]

Great vlog you 2!! Nice seeing you wandering thrue my hometown of beautifull Groningen. Hope you come back sometime, there's so much more to discover! Have fun making more citytrips🍀

[@DreHill1]

Nice to see you visit my city. Groningen is awesome!

[@remcohoman1011]

6:56 It used to be...126 metres even.. much to the annoyance of the bisshop of Utrecht, the official Vatican seat.. When Groningen celebrated a victory over a siege, part of the tower burnt.. making it shorter.. Happy Utrecht bisshop let the Groiningers rebuilt, but it had to be lower then Dom Tower in Utrecht. The Martini tower has a fundation the only goes 2 metres deep, and rests on deer and cowskins.

[@PaulaBean]

De fundering schijnt drie meter diep te zijn. En ook: "In 1938, nadat ernstige scheuren waren ontdekt die de toren in gevaar brachten, werd een plint van gewapend beton om de toren gelegd."

[@umbertoyltp]

That Korean war menu stood out for me, I'm definitely interested to try it. Great vlog, again🎉❤

[@autohmae]

I had to be in Groningen regularly some years ago, so I don't know if the restaurant still exists, but pretty rare in the Netherlands they had a restaurant (looking online, supposedly moved) called: Javaans Eetcafe Groningen. They have Javanese food, so from a certain part of Indonesia. It was also good.

[@PaulaBean]

Zat die tent niet aan het Schuitendiep? Toen ik er gegeten heb (plm. 5 jaar geleden) vond ik het niet zo bijzonder. Veel jus, weinig vlees, en alles smaakte ongeveer hetzelfde. Kun je beter Indonesisch eten afhalen -bij de RIMA- bij de Toko Semarang op het Zuiderdiep.

[@JanuitGroningen]

Groningen is my hometown. My entire roots are here. Too bad you visited Groningen on a sad rainy day. With nice weather and high temperatures, the terraces are packed. And then the city lives much more. And the 'eierbal' is a typical Groningen delicacy. But also the 'Groninger' koek. And the Groningen dry sausage with cloves. I hope to see you back in Groningen soon.

[@PIXAUL94]

Knols koek with the nuts on it. Just some butter and you're golden. Noorderplantsoen is buzzing in the summer. And the city nightlife is great when you're young, no closing times.

[@snapsna3567]

Die eierbal vind ik echt ontzettend droog en die groninger koek ook. Blijft steken in je keel, ik ben bijna gestikt zo droog.

[@JanuitGroningen]

@@snapsna3567 LOL .. De kerrieragout rond de eierbal moet smeuïg zijn. De eierbal wordt overigens met de hand gemaakt. Dus de kwaliteit zal ook zeer verschillend zijn, waar je het koopt. En de echte Groninger koek komt van Knols Koek. Volgende keer een glaasje water ernaast. Stel je voor zeg, grote krantenkoppen, dat iemand is gestikt in onze eierbal of onze Groninger koek ;-)

So great to see you two back in Groningen! Climbing Olle Grieze is a must do indeed! I also like spicy food, love Korean food! Btw, the organ in Martinikerk is also an absolute monument! If you like organ music, attend a concert there.

[@remcohoman1011]

6:29 the reason you don't see any skyscrapers in Groningen..? The "Olle Grieze" ( Old Grey one) is by law protected.. No building is allowed to be taller then The Martini Tower. ( Tower of Saint Martin) And it it is the one of few who don't have a rooster in top, but a horse... There is another tower, The "Drumnkman's tower" it shows 2 clocks from any visual point.. hence the name..tower of St. John's church. . And The St Johns bridge has in its railings a depiction of John the Baptist, pointing to the Martini tower and church..because it held the actual arm of John the Baptist int he medieval times, and pilgrimns would come to Groningen, Gruoninga to worship it. Love you guys, you two are awesome!!!!!! Greetings from Groningen (oke the province, I live in Delfzijl, but born and raised in Groningen, and work there still..) Groningers are refer themselves as Stadjers.. Groningen and close to Delfzijl, Appingedam, where the only two official towns in the regiion ofr a long time..

Recipes may vary, but you can look up "gebakken marinier". A dish invented by the Dutch navy. The one airplane carrier we used to own (Karel Doorman) was sold to Argentina decades ago. Partially paid for with corned beef I kid you not. To put all that canned meat to use (same as the navy had to): mix with onion, garlic, ketjap and sambal an fry it up in a pan. Serve on bread or with rice. I like to spread some on a pancake and roll that sucker up.

[@maartent9697]

Glad to see ya'll liked the Brander mayo it's in my opinion better for fries and zaanse is better for snacks, but brander with bitterballen is amazing.

The OG fries potato breed is from Groningen, het Bintje. Went out of fashion because of it's vulnerability and relatively a lot of pesticides used. But most friteries in Wallonia, who are more serious about fries than the Flemish and still fry in beef tallow and cut them 1 or 2 millimeter thicker still only use Bintjes.

[@Paul_C]

I suppose now, since you did not climb the Dom toren, you need to return to Utrecht too, right? PS Should you want to make your own Mayonnaise, it is actually not that hard. Egg yolks, vinegar and oil, salt. Add whatever spice you want to the mix. I have a tendency to take a balsamic (red or white) vinegar instead of clear vinegar. Mustard needs to be in it too, but red or green pepers would work well. Mayo for me is the ultimate experiment, add yogurts to the mix for a salad dressing...

[@buncharted]

we climbed the domtoren in our last utrecht video :) and that’s a very good idea! i have a lot of ideas, would be interesting to see if any of them make a good mayo!

Love your video's! Mostly you visit city's around Netherlands but why not visit a real dutch farmers yearmarket?? Villages are boring but NOT when (some) villages have their annual farmers fair. Try for example on 1 sept 2024 "Effe noar Geffe" ... Geffen is a 5000 inhab. village near Oss but once a year around 20.000 people visit Geffen for a big farmersfair with 200 stands, food, music, various demonstrations, frysian horse demonstation, street theatre, bread making demonstration etc.... I am from Oss and around 45 years ago I went there with family... good memories! So would be great to check something else! (train > Oss, rent OV fiets to Geffen is best!) GRTZ!

A nice city, unfortunately with extremely overpriced parking garages. If you want to visit Groningen, avoid those parking spots of absolutely not affordable scamming garages. Park your car a couple of miles outside the city and use the bus from f.e. a spot across the Football Arena, and save at least 20€ per day. Those 20€ will buy you a nice meal in the city.
