Thank you, as always, to @goed.gedaan for his excellent editing.
PS - If you're wondering why my videos will always be in English, the answer is simple: more people in the world speak English than Dutch. I want this channel to be accessible and understandable for as many people as possible.

[@DerBomster]

Well one thing that's definitely worth a mention are poffertjes! Whenever I spend a few days in the Netherlands I need to get a bunch of those to consider it a fulfilling trip!

[@BlaauwKlavertje]

Yes poffertjes are great!

[@DirtJutter]

Fun-sized pancakes. Traditionally served with butter and powdered sugar. WARNING! They come out of the pan piping hot.

[@alfonsstekebrugge8049]

Let's get this comment to the top of the list people.

[@guntherbloemen2075]

As a Belgian I’ve always thought Fristi to be a cool name, as it resembles the Flemish/Dutch word Fris meaning chilled/cold, as well as the French word Fraise meaning Strawberry. It’s a chilled strawberry drinking yoghurt. It’s really a children’s drink; the flavour is meh.

[@forkless]

It's a bit oldskool, but griesmeel (semolina) pudding with Haagsche bluf (a topping made of whisked egg whites with sugar and berry juice incorporated in it) is a typical Dutch desert to me,. that and vla-flip

[@JolandaRouwendal_Graaf]

Oh yes, Haagse bluf is really something Jovie should try. I'm sure she can find a recipe online. It's definitely unique, because you cannot buy it ready-made in a shop, and I don't recall to have ever seen it on a menu in a restaurant.

[@mathilde5928]

Every snert is pea soup but not every pea soup is snert, for a good snert your spoon has to be able to stand up straight on it’s own in the bowl. Ps, the uitsmijter is usually consumed as breakfast or lunch.

[@JoviesHome]

Wow- that's some strong snert to hold a spoon up!

[@ericvangent1302]

And Unox isn't. A proper 'snert' should be made with a 'hips' - a pork hind underleg- (a buther knows) and leek, sellerie, 'knol'-sellerie and 1 or 2 patatoes and: absolutely no carrots!

[@Setetoto]

The one with krenten is the best though 🥺🙄

I do really miss the Appeltaart in this video, or the stoofperen. These things for me are typical Dutch. Probally aren't. But if you talk autumn/fall, which it's now. And even mention the hot chocolate milk. These things are basically, essential. A cup of hot chocolate with wipped cream, a piece of appeltaart with wipped cream. Is like something you can get at any place nowadays as just a snack for around 11 o clock, 4 o clock or as desert. And easy to made to. Stoofperen fits very well with meat from this season and/or stampot in my eyes.

[@MrEric1947]

Properly made hot chocolate (cocoa, heated milk and sugar) is indeed a treat, but if you order it at a cafe what you get is microwaved chocomel. A pet dislike of mine was koffiemelk which now seems to have almost disappeared now that people have learned to appreciate well-prepared coffee. In the 1970s people thought it odd when I asked for real milk or cream in my coffee "maar we hebben koffiemelk".

Fristi is not fresh tea. That is just a brand name nothing more. It is exatly what you say milk. But Raspberry milk. Sometimes peach or forerst fruits? I remember there was one like that too. It is extremly sweet too, kids will jump the walls if they get it. It is usualy an option in vending machines, for kids that don't like fizz.

[@miriamhappe1066]

its similar to a yoghurt drink, and has indeed rasberry, forest fruit, strawberry and blueberry in it.

[@forkless]

Funnily enough it was marketed in 1955 as the "healthy" alternative to softdrinks (according to a now archived web page). I never cared much for the overly sweet and artificial fruit flavor.

[@jwenting]

@@forkless yup, healthy because it's dairy and supposely no artificial flavourings (at the time, not so sure about now). Tried it once, never again. Way too sweet to the point it was almost bitter.

[@gert-janvanderlee5307]

@@forkless Actually it wasn't really marketed at all in the 50's. That's why it didn't sell after the introduction until it was relaunched in the 80's to compete with the yoghurt drinks from the competition like Yogho Yogho.

[@JoviesHome]

Thanks for explaining!

[@toaojjc]

Gonna add two that are typical for Noord-Brabant; worstenbroodjes and Bosche bollen. And now that it is autumn going into winter: all the stampot fishes like zuurkool, hete bliksem, boerenkool and my favorite hutspot. And not really sure if it's typical Dutch but do try witlof met ham en kaas uit de oven.

[@dutchman7623]

Everything you cannot get abroad is Dutch... like your recipe for witlof, I eat it every month or two. And there is so much more Dutch cuisine.

[@henrischutte1968]

What I miss on all these lists is the ultimate Dutch travel snack: "Krentenbol met kaas". They are easy to take with you for either a bike or a train ride without losing taste during the day. They don't make a mess and they are healthy too. They are available in almost every store where prepared buns are sold (train stations, gas stations).

Until I fell in love with a Dutchman, I hasn't really stopped to think just how many references we Americans make to the Dutch in our sayings and in names of products!

[@tonyoostenbrink7808]

the "Stroop" in "Stroopwaffel" rhymes with Hope, Dope, and Rope, and NOT with loop, troop, or poop (Canadian Oostenbrinks usually insist on the right pronunciation to rhyme with Most, Post, Coast, and Toast)

[@JoviesHome]

Thanks for clearing that up!

[@garryferrington811]

My grandfather (Schaefer) used to love herring, saurkraut, and limburger cheese. Also 6 Heinekens daily. 83, and he could knock out 10 push-ups like nothing!

[@jannetteberends8730]

Did he eat the cheese with rye bread and apple syrup?

[@tonyoostenbrink7808]

my favourite dutch food growing up was Kranta Pop (maybe a spellcheck on that) - a "soup" of Bessesap, raisins, currents, barley, and cinnamon sticks, which can be eaten hot (first day) or cold (2nd day) - perhaps this dish is peculiar to Overijssel and/or Drenthe

I live in the U.S. A Dutch friend through FB gave me the basics for hutspot. I love it. I made mine with orange carrots as I could not get winter carrots here. Nobody knew what that was at the local supermarket or farmers market. The grocer recommended small yellow potatoes called "Dutch Gold" which were not mentioned in the original recipe. But I went along. The onions were part of it to which I added butter, whole evalporated milk and nutmeg. This is not true to the original but I enjoyed it so much. I made it with vegetarian patties and vegan brown gravy. I'd love to get a simple recipe for Dutch appeltaart and try that when there's time.

[@JoviesHome]

That sounds delicious!

[@gert-janvanderlee5307]

Winterpeen (I'm guessing that's what you mean with winter carrots) are orange too. 😉

[@xXTheoLinuxXx]

Winter carrots are almost the same as regular orange carrots. The biggest difference is the size. Back in the day people want to harvest as much as they can from their garden, and in terms of pounds, the winter carrot was a good one compared to the normal one. So there is nothing wrong with using regular ones. For hutspot I believe it is 3 pounds of peeled potatoes, 1 pound of onions, and 1.5 pounds of carrots. A Dutch applepie isn't that hard, but we have to deal with apples and I don't know it the apples that we use are available in the USA.

[@emilyannfrancesmay3919]

[@emilyannfrancesmay3919]

[@RealConstructor]

I think the best Dutch dish is Jachtschotel (game dish or hunters dish) my mother always made after Christmas from the leftovers of deer, rabbit, hare, turkey, chicken or pheasant. Or a combination of whatever kind(s) of game we ate at Christmas. Fry some minced meat in a skillet, add some chopped bacon (katenspek) and a chopped onion (you could also add some vegetables like carrots, lentils or green beans). Season it to your own taste and mix it with the game leftovers. Put all the meat in an high oven dish with the fat/gravy from the skillet. Above the meat a layer of mashed potatoes (twice as thick as the layer of meat and game), above that a thin layer of bread-crumbs (paneermeel) put a few chunks of real butter on the bread-crumbs so it will get a gold-brown color in the oven. It is a delicious meal and easy to make, just 30 minutes in a pre-heated oven of 220 degrees Celsius. Eat it with (homemade) applesauce (appelmoes) or rhubarb sauce (rabarbermoes) and green salad.

Looove Haring. But then, I'm Dutch. No onion for me though. I like them plain. I think Zuurkool should be on this list. In Amsterdam there is a really good restaurant serving traditional Dutch food, but not only the snack type of food. It is called Greetje. Maybe there is something similar in Den Haag? Love to see you try some more Dutch foods.

Most Americans miss a lot (my opinion) and i hope one day to share some dutch deliciously good food from the netherlands with my hubby. :)

[@wilmascholte7607]

I had guests from Colorado once and the girl was half-Korean and thus she and her boyfriend were into slightly more adventurous food. They loved haring, although admittedly I had served it on those mini-cracker-toastjes. Also, I had given them ample warnings ahead of time, like, it really is just raw fish and onions and it has a unique taste that not everyone digs. It turned out well, though. The cracker-toastjes makes a huge difference, because the flavor is less dominant that way. Note, on some birthdays and occasions, those toastjes are also served with smoked eel and other fishy ;) stuff.

[@wilmascholte7607]

Oh, I forgot to add that I grew up with fries as a hot meal, but it's usually accompanied by either kroket, frikandel, kaassoufflé or other snacks. Sometimes some salad, or apple sauce. Or a jar of carrots and peas. It's the ultimate lazy version of wanting a hot meal, but with little effort.

[@JoviesHome]

They were brave guests! Thanks for sharing!

[@leftrightandcentre833]

When it comes to pancakes you should try gerookt spek & appelstroop! Sounds weird but the sweet and smokey salt makes for a heavenly combo. Some fried onions on top or a bit of cheese (or both if you're a real smulpaap) puts "het puntje op de i".

[@jannetteberends8730]

Or brown sugar and salted butter. Best take French salt butter.

Hi Yovie, like your channel. Maybe do a video about regional food. I live in Limburg and would recommend vlaai or zuurvlees. I think Every region has some favorites.

[@DirtJutter]

To start with a challenging one, because it's definately outside your american comfort zone: smoked eal (gerookte paling). It's a delicacy though. Bacon of the sea. Just go for the "paling-filet" to avoid the 'ew-this-looks-like-a-snake' reflex and try some on a cracker. If you crave an 'out of season' donut- substitute try a "Roombroodje" (a.k.a. puddingbroodje). Some candy? Spekjes. It's the dutch take on marshmellows. For meme-credits try a frikandellenbroodje

[@JoviesHome]

Thanks for the tips!

Even the soup is ok, if you add about a bottle of Tabasco on top. Btw I have eaten uitsmijders (hope I spelled that right) for lunch, dinner and a late mesl after a long meeting. But mostly I eat at Indonesian restaurants when I'm in Amsterdam.

You named Oliebollen a Dutch Doughnut, but it is assumed to be the otherway around: the Dutch brought the Oliebollen to New Amsterdam (nowadays called New York) on which multiple variants of Oliebollen were made and eventually the American Doughnut arose. So actually a Doughnut is an American Oliebol 😅

You should try nonnevotten! It's fried dough with sugar, usually found at bakeries around Carnaval in Limburg. It's my favourite pastry. On the 11vande11 (11 november) they were sold at my highschool. It was always a race to get there before they are sold out

[@RFGfotografie]

I eat stampot quite often around winter times. My favorite one is Stampot Rauwe Andijvie with spekkies. Seriously easy to make. Just cook some potatoes till they are soft. Then stamp them to they are mushy (milk and/or butter is adviced as it makes it easier to get a nice consistancy). Then add the andijvie (best is to use ones that are already cut to small pieces). And the basically sort of hamblokjes/spekjes you have to have baked already, add them to. Then add the special stampotkruiden, those are basically essnential if you wanna have some taste. And then, it's just wait to it's cooked and then it's time to serve. I rather eat it with chicken though, as those 2 feel better then a sausage for me. Also, if you have some left over, don't throw it away. But let it cool down to the next day, get a slice of bread, bake the stampot in a normal pan (not a cooking one) and put it on your bread. It's even tastier then. Then there is also stampot boerenkool. Which is also very tasty with a gehaktbal. Actually I rather eat it with a gehaktbal then with a sausage. But either one are fine. And then another one it's called hutspot. Which is best with slow cooked meat like draadjesvlees (like that's grandma's recipe basically). Stampot is such a dutch meal. And certainly in winter time it just fills you up in your belly, with warmth to. So happy it's on the list :D

[@xXTheoLinuxXx]

Believe it or not, but even when it is above 30 degrees celsius, I can't resist Stamppot rauwe andijvie :)

[@mamsmelk]

I love raisins so my oliebol always has them! and I agree with you on the Haring. Also on the Fristy. Fris = cold/chilly, but I have no idea how they came up with the rest of the name. I personally love the drink but I am a fan of flavored milk drinks. If you want to try something similar but a bit more on the yogurth drink side I suggest 'Optimel'.

In the 60s, I lived in Eindhoven. The local dairy sold vla in cartons. I preferred vanilla with chocolate sprinkles mixed in. Our neighbors said the local vla was much better than others around the country.

[@renefrijhoff2484]

Fristi is a yoghurt drink (not milk, they really taste differently) with the taste of strawberries, raspberries and cherries. Also a correction, haring (herring) is actually not sushi (on rice or in rice wrapped in nori: eatable seaweed), but more like sashimi (only fish).

Fristi is not tea. It''s a drink yoghurt. So it's fruit-flaveroud dairy product. It's mostly served to childeren. That's why they also sold in machines. Because parrents want something to drink but dont want to give their child soda. Then the child often gets chocomel or fristi.

Bruine bonensoep, it is a bit like Erwtensoep, and the biggest difference is that the peas are replaced with bruine bonen (for people outside the Netherlands they are close related to Pinto beans). If you buyed the dried ones, put them in water the night before you make the soup. Another thing you have to add (if you're making the easy version) is to add some packages of 'Honig Engelse Ossenstaartsoep' (not the 'heldere', but the original version). Since you already made 'snert' this isn't difficult. Another one is 'draadjesvlees' which is a kind of beef stew.

I don’t like the fristi drinks either. Besides stroopwafels there also stroopkoeken! Those a delicioussss aswell. It was lovely meeting you at the rumclub the other night btw!✨✨ X Melissa

[@WvhKerkhof]

Maybe try Autodrop? That is so delicious! But dangerous if you drive in a car.. Or trekdrop, or soft honingdrop, maybe start with engelse drop to get used to drop. Chocomel is very tasty, strange enough no other brand can compete with it.

The thing with fries here is the vast amount of condiments we use to dip them in. It starts with a simple "patatje met" with just mayonnaise, which by itself already puts a weird and disturbed look on folks from abroad. Specially Americans seem to get a gag reflex about it. Never will forget my family members' reaction in the States when I fancied some mayo for my fries... it's as if I asked for cocaine to sprinkle on top of them. Besides mayo you also can have your fries with plain ketchup, curry, pindasaus (peanut sauce). You can go for a "speciaal" which is mayo + curry or ketchup + onions. Or even a "patatje oorlog" (translates to "war fries") that comes with mayo, peanutsauce and onions. For the real degenerates among us there's the "patatje joppie", which I believe is mayo, ketchup, onions and curry powder mixed into a one funny looking yellow sauce. A kroket or frikandel on the side and you're good to go (hopefully to the nearest gym). So it's the sauces, and I guess also the size of the fries that really can make it a solid meal. If you ever go to McDonald's with a group of people from all over the world, the Dutchie (or Belgian) is the one jammin' 4,5 fries at once into whatever sauce there is available. It's because we're used to the big ones!

[@CarlosRodriguez-np9ib]

As many videos I have seen like yours about dutch snacks, I haven't seen any of you mention "kipsaté met pindasaus". Pindasaus is a sauce that is so entrenched in the Dutch cuisine that is rare not to see it mentioned. Btw as I grew up in The Hague I do like drop. Specially dubbel zoute drop. But I have to admit never heard of siroopwafels...lol.... And oh yeah... patatje met en een frikandel speciaal is echt lekker.... Regards from Texas....

10:30 I mean it's not exactly like we eat herring fresh from the sea - the herring you eat at fish stalls is brined herring. The herring produces some enzymes during the brining process that partially break down the fish, which is why it's so soft and slimy.

[@jamboree2723]

Some very old fashioned beverages (alcoholic) are boerenjongens, boerenmeisjes , advocaat and oranjebitter. Also havermoutpap, gortepap en griesmeelpap are worth testing. And have you ever tried vla-flip?

[@TheTekknician]

Yes, yes, yes.... I agree with not ruining perfection! Keep out the raisins and the krents. I like them natural or with banketbakkersroom. Thing is, when you get the small oliebollenstands at the Jumbo or similar, they rarely if not at all, have natural oliebollen for sale. Sometimes I ask if they can make a few fresh ones, and it's like the people in the stand see water burning. Ah well, there's always the really big stands.

[@JoviesHome]

Wonderful to meet another person with good taste!

[@fafaenmiel]

I always used to think that the raisins were a sort of addition to the simple oliebol. But then I found out the original recipe is with raisins, and plain oliebollen are a relatively recent "invention". So yay for this upgrade by downgrading 😜 (But even better btw is an oliebol filled with stoofpeer)

When I went to visit I fell in love with (and came home in with it in my suitcase) chocomel, fried onion bits, paprika chips, tony's chocolonely, haribo peaches, and sheep cheese. And a cookbook for the things that I couldn't bring! And before anyone gets on me, I know we can get some of these things in the US, but the Dutch version is BETTER!

[@helloitsme7553]

6:47 well not really, usually fries along with a croquette or frikandel for example is a full meal. And that's exactly what they sell at "snack bars", they sell fries, and snacks like croquette, frikandel, burger etc

[@RFGfotografie]

You've been to the Markthal once, I really advice ya to go again as there is now a kroketten restaurant. And it makes the best croquettes ever! Though I really like bitterballen more. These croquettes were so freaking good, it was hard to not take another one xD But if I eat a kroket, it's mostly on a bolletje with maggie and mayonaise, it's so good then :P

[@johannessugito1686]

Did you ever try Engelse drop? These are more sweet and has a less strong liquorice taste. Worth trying: Chocomel Dark, dark brown boxes, it has a stronger chocolate taste. And if you like fish: gerookte paling/smoked eel, gerookte makereel, mosselen. The original or traditional erwtensoep was made with slices of smoked bacon and pork ribs or pork knuckles. And the soup should be thick, that your spoon stands right up in the soup. Because most people nowadays want less fat in their food, you rarely find this traditional erwtensoep.

I do love stamppot through. Yum. And just an observation: I notice that the Dutch always put little cute salads on their plates of fried things in restaurants, but no one actually eats them. It’s like they’re there for decoration, to give an illusion of healthful well-rounded meals among the fries and frikandel

[@mariadebake5483]

I usually eat them

[@patrickchambers5999]

In the 1990's I was in Venlo for a month of meetings and training. I was eating dinner on a Sunday and seated across the room from me was a family with a son about 14 and a daughter about 18. They, and I, had some sort of creamed vegetable and from the looks of the daughter she didn't know what it was. She asked her Mum and I guess she didn't know either. Spotting me, she gave me a questioning look and I shrugged my shoulders in defeat as I did not know what it was either. No one knew what it was but it tasted good and I still wonder what it was many years later. Having served in the American Air Force I was used to strange things being served to me and just ate them, as food is food, unless it is wandering across your plate.

Uitsmijter, literally one who tosses you out, was served to guests before they left. Besides sunny side up eggs, they usually are served with ham, cheese or both. Uitsmijter is also the Dutch word for bouncer.

Hutspot: tradtional Peen en ui (large carrot and onion) baked together then mashed. My grandmother always made it with by using equal amounts of bruine bonen, onion and carrot. My grandmothers version is my favorite, and I cannot eat hutspot without the brown beans. BTW, everyone who has ever tried my grandmothers version loves it more.

[@erikaverink8418]

If i think about hutspot, i always want hachee ( basically chopped slow cooked beef with onions) next to it. But next time i make hutspot from scratch, i will put some beans in it. (in the same amount in weight). Just a question are those vegetables baked in a pan, or like i always do cook them in boiled water?
