Trying Dutch Street Food from Vending Machines

[@ufopiloot7553]

I love how you are giving a sophisticated an eloquent review of the food we gorge down our throats when we are biking home drunk on our wooden shoes.

[@Henri-email-archive]

That sounds like something an impostor might say

[@lewdrisyeet8872]

can confirm this.

[@MajesticalHonky]

I wish I was Dutch. Except for the wooden shoes.

[@freakklomp]

i can confirm that a frikandel is indeed ground meat thats deep fried. a kaas soufle translates to a cheese soufle. the kroket and bitterballen are pretty much the same product, a deep fried ragout stick or ball. the sauce on the burger is mostly mayo and a curry sauce together. bami is from the dish called bami, they coated it and made it a square or disc. and nasi with the dish nasi, usually nasi goreng. the sate kroket is a peanut sauce kroket with some beef in there for texture. glad you liked the snacks here. enjoy your stay! best wishes from the netherlands!

[@FieraMyst]

Good to know, thank you for sharing that information. =^.^=

[@Fuzz82]

There were some stories going around about what is in the frikandel. But by now it is known that nothing really crazy goes it. It is mostly mechanically separated meat. The last bits of chicken, pork and sometimes horse meat.

[@freakklomp]

@@Fuzz82 its mainly the meat wastes in the end that they cant sell to customers in stores.

[@PerfectAlibi1]

Bitterballen do tend to be slightly different to the kroketten, though. I often found that bitterballen are a bit more spicy.

[@OverSoft]

@@PerfectAlibi1 Normal bitterballen are exactly the same as kroketten. They contain the exact same filling and have the exact same breading. If they're more spicy, you have had flavored bitterballen (which are very much a thing, just like flavoured kroketten, like the sate kroket).

[@ladamurni]

You guys crack me up, you were spot on with the Bami, Nasi and Sate. It has to do with the fact that Indonesia was a former Dutch colony and Indonesian food is still very popular overhere. Ofcourse the snacks are Dutch but also more or less a tribute to Indonesian food of wich the original dishes are: Nasi Goreng (fried rice) Bami goreng (fried noodles) and satey as you already knew. Thank you for the video it was a pleasure to watch!

[@passionpourelegance]

OMG, love your reactions to our Dutch foods!❤ The Bami is Indonesian flavors. There were a lot of Indonesian immigrants and a lot of their flavors and cuisine were integrated in our Dutch society. Hence the nasi (rice), bami (noodles) and saute (peanut sauce) croquette. The frikandel is usually eaten with ketchup, mayonaise or any other sauce.

[@thebiblioholic]

The association with Indonesia is more than "a lot of Indonesian immigrants", but goes back further to Indonesia being a Dutch colony before their independence. You can find a lot of yummy Indonesian restaurants in Amsterdam.

Next time, you have to try the Specialje! I think a lot of people skip it because it's name is not descriptive, but it's like a really juicy meatloaf with bits of onion, and then deep-fried. Deeply addictive!! FYI - "FEBO" is named this way as it originated on the Ferdinand Bolstraat in De Pijp district, down where your earlier video near the Albert Cuyp market.

I second that, but you have to get the proper ones from Jan de Groot in Den Bosch, those are the only legit ones. The ones you can buy in the supermarket are overpriced chocoladebollen.

[@SIG442]

If FEBO would open a store in Japan, it would be packed in no time haha It could be the most ideal shop for Japanese people who love to try out food from the Netherlands without needing to travel so much. With Japan already being very known with vending machines, this is likely a huge hit and specially with young people.

[@rexuhr1877]

good idea, but then a lot of other stores/ street food from other country’s would want it too and it would be impossible to do all

It’s fun to see you experiment frietkot food! When I arrived in Belgium I was amazed as well! I have to rectify a detail though… Sate is different to sauté. Sauté is indeed paned fried in French but sate is referring the Indonesian dish. It’s very popular in Nederland. Sate sauce is also often eaten with French fries. Dominant taste is peanut butter.

[@timey1290]

So great to see you taste all the famous Dutch snacks! My favorite is bami and frikandel, but then as “frikandel speciaal” with mayonnaise, curry sauce and raw onions. You should try this when you come back!

[@rayanagi]

A Dutch automat! Cool! My grandma took me to one in NY when I was small. My first time trying chocolate creme pie. 😋 Most of this style restaurant have closed in the USA but my husband found a new chain trying to make a comeback in NYC. I wonder if they survived the pandemic. I hope so. I love this dining concept.

Satoshi about frikandel: "It's like a fishcake using...meat." (Satoshi laughs.) Shinichi's response: "This is basically a sausage, isn't it?" (Laughing along.) I _LOVE_ you guys! You make me happy!!🤣🤣🤣 I had no idea that there are automats in Amsterdam. How cool!! Everything sounded delicious, especially if consumed after drinking or getting the munchies.

These are all over the Netherlands. FEBO isn't the only one that has wall automats like this. It's relatively common for other snackbars to also have them.

[@R0tK4t]

These are literally all over the place in the Netherlands. You can find them at many snack/fries restaurants and in some places even at train stations and highway fuel stations. If you think about it, it really aligns with the Dutch "eat something quickly before I gotta get back to work" attitude.

Satoshi is adorable. You always describe everything perfectly.

[@Iflie]

We'd have the beef kroket ones with mustard, which is great if you are eating such rich greasy things. My mom loved the "frikandel speciaal" which is when they slice one halfway and use a spiced sweet ketchup and mayo in it and cover that with fresh cubed onions. The dutch concepts on nasi (fried rice) and Bami (fried noodles) have a lot of vegetables in them, you get the vegetable packets at the store often so I'm not surprised they put a lot of them in the kroket version too. I stick to the classics myself, a good beef kroket or bitterbal. i put them on a bun too.

[@CaSweety510]

Everything looked interesting and I’d love to try them all! But I think my favorite would be the Kaassouffle. I love cheese so fried, breaded cheese sounds delicious!!

[@bertnl530]

Indeed many of these foods are a little dangerous. Taste is good, but there is a danger for burning your mouth and tongue, because the temperature inside is damn hot.

[@DefectivePieceofChalk]

Dutch street food (and food in general) took a lot of inspiration from Indonesian food, because of the history with the Dutch East Indies. That's why you find sambal, sateh, nasi goreng, bami, spring rolls, prawn crackers and many Indonesian spices and blends pretty much everywhere in the Netherlands in between our obsessions over raw herring, salt licorice, cheese, pea soup (snert), pancakes and stroopwafels. It's a weird blend but there's some good food as well as some weird food. Most foreigners won't like the salt licorice. A very acquired taste. If you like sushi though, you might just enjoy our primitive version of it. Raw, salted, fatty herring. Served with bread, raw onions, pickles or just straight for the pure experience. If you feel a bit weirded out by the traditional way to eat it, you can probably request a fork or something. Normally you hold it by the tail and slide it down. It's slightly salty, very fatty and so tender it's almost buttery.

When I am at FEBO, it’s always the same picks for me. Kalfskroket (the one you called beef, but it is veal) and a grillburger. As a kid in the 80’s me and my friends had a trick. Put 5 cents (guilder cents) on the tram track, wait until the tram came bye, pick it up, go to the FEBO and put it in the coins slot and make your choice. And get out of there 😅

Thank you guys! I love how relaxing, fun ,and educational you both are. Always make my day better.

[@litchtheshinigami8936]

6:00 there is actually a reason why it tastes more asian it's because the Bami kroket is originally indonesian based. since indonesia was once a dutch colony there are a ton of dishes here that have indonesian roots from something like the bami kroket to chinese takeout wich usually is just ran by chinese people but a majority of the dishes they sell are actually indonesian since that is what sells well here. (it's like the whole american takeout having "fake chinese dishes" we have a similar thing but these dishes aren't really fake chinese but actually just indonesian. a good example would be Babi pangang.. wich is easy for a chinese restaurant to incorporate mainly because it uses the same meat as Char siu just with a different sauce over it and usually paired with a sweet and sour garnish)

[@charlesperez9976]

In the USA,these were called ‘Automats’. The last one closed down in 1986 in NYC. The Amsterdam ones are superb!

[@DondeRob]

Pretty awesome that you guys picked the frikandel and rundvleeskroket as your favourites. They're 2 main the oldschool OG side snacks + there are people who prefer kroket and there are others who prefer frikandel. Those who prefer the one almost rarely eat the other. My favourite is the kroket, but I know of people who just "have to" eat several frikandellen per week. Nice video. You probably already left NL by now. I hope you tried fresh still warm stroopwafels from a street market. If you're still here, it's a must to try some.

[@WikkeSchrandt]

You were very right about the noodle and rice snacks! They're usually called bamihapje and nasischijf, and they're really just nasi goreng and bami goreng in a croquette, hence the familiar taste!

My personal favourite at the FEBO is Kalfsvleeskroket （子牛のコロッケト）It has a somewhat different flavour from the regular beef one. I usually eat those between either slices of bread or a bun. Was in Utrecht and later in Amsterdam today. No FEBO today but when I feel like a good snack I do tend to go there. Enjoyed watching the video :)

[@theblackhand6485]

'Frikandel' is separator meat in the shape of a sausage. But very fine cut meat with lots of spices so it tastes richer than it actually is. The Dutch eat Frikandel with Mayonaise, Dutch Curry sauce, raw unions. They probably eat these with mayo and ketchup too. Specialty is 'The Jos Brinky', a Frikandel with Saté sauce and, but not always, Mayonaise. - Another popular product is the Berenhap. That's a meat ball cut in three slices and between the slice there are Union rings. After sticking these on a bamboo pin all is deep fried and served with Saté sauce. Sometime roasted fried unions are added. - The 'Kroket' or 'Croquet' comes in many verities: Beef, Veal, Saté, Shrimp, Goat Cheese (Vega), Vegetable (Vega), Old Amsterdam Cheese, and just Potato. - One Kroket = 2,5 Bitterball.These are served on parties, birthdays and local bars. Just to have a bite with your beer or wine. - Did you guys try Dutch chips from brands like Lays and Croky? These are coming in a lot of flavor too. The most popular are 'Paprika', 'Natural' and 'Bolognese'. But there is a 'mix all the FEBO sauces together' flavored one called 'Joppie'. You can also buy real Joppie sauce at the store.

The frikandel contains of about 50% ground chicken 25% ground pork and 25% ground beef. The spices that are used are salt, black pepper, onion powder and nutmeg. After mixing it all together you make 18 cm sausages that are around 3 cm in diameter wrapped in shrink foil. Then they get boiled for 10 min. After they are cooled down you can unwrap them and fry them in 180 degrees Celcius oil until they start to float on the top.

Ohhh, you guys are in the Netherlands, awesome! Not sure how long you're staying and if you're still around (or this is uploaded later), but if I'm in time, here are some souvenirs you can think of trying / taking home: - Erwtensoup (Dutch pea soup), bagged is probably easiest to get. Instant powder version is not as good but the easiest to take home. - Chocomel, probably one of the best prepackaged chocolate milk - Fristi, a yoghurt drink, usually strawberry. The Dutch equivalent of strawberry milk. - Stroopwafels, can be bought anywhere as stacks. Supermarkets have plenty. There are also thick packaged versions which are separately packaged per 1 or 2, those are easier to share or take with you - Pepermunt, little white dollar shaped mint flavored candy. Apparently it's unique to Dutch, which I didn't know until my brother told me to take some for him. I recommend the brand King or Wilhelmina. - Kanokoek (lengthy shape) or gevulde koek (round shape), crumbly cookies with almond/anice filling. It's unexpectedly Dutch. Koek means cookie or cake by the way, pronounced as 'cook'. - Pindakaas, the Dutch peanut butter. It's quite different from most countries. Try to take a smooth and chunky version home. Best spread on bread with butter - Sambal, a common cross culture hot sauce for the Dutch and has an interesting flavor. Can be used for many things, but one of the interesting combinations that Dutch people do it mix it with Pindakaas on a sandwich! (Skip the butter in this case) - Tijgernootjes (branded) or any borrelnootjes, peanuts covered in a crispy shell with a savory flavoring. I think you had some sent to you before, but definitely don't forget to haul some! - Drop. You can basically split licorice into 3 categories: sweet (beginner), salty (expert) and salmiak (pro). While there are probably a lot of candy shops, I recommend taking some prepackged brands ones home since those will last longer. Try to get some of all categories. Have fun!

Fun to see u guys in The Netherlands!. Sate kroket my favorite from Febo.

[@Roel_Scoot]

You are right about the fine bread crumb. Lately Japanese panko is more and more used but I think that is a mistake: the fine crumbs are traditional and better.

[@Shigeno566]

Fun fact about the frikandel: the frikandel is made from waste meat, meat that is unusable. The meat is all grinded together like: chicken, pork, beef and sometimes horse meat.

[@mokumboi19]

Pro tip: dip your fries in the kaassouffle. That's the good stuff. And bami, which is Indonesian fried noodles, is by far my favorite kroket. Nasi is basically nasi goreng, which is Indonesian fried rice.

[@xszl]

The kaassouffle used to have much more cheese, those were much better. When you took a bite, the hot cheese would drip out, and burn your lips if you were not carefull. Now with the big snackchains they modified it, made it smaller and put far less cheese in it. (and raised the price by 200%)

actually, it's usually panko crumbs they use for cheese souffles for the crunch :D there are various variants of the cheese souffle, that have slight differences in the cheese formula, the ones that are rounded on the top only but flat on the bottom, tend to have a more sour type of cheese, which i really like. it's still mild and melty, soft cheese but it's more whiteish yellow as opposed to the bright yellow gouda, and has this sour dimension to it that makes them really good in my opinion, it's probably a bit of goat's cheese added juding by the color and the tang it adds adn yes, most of the dutch asian falvors you will find are indonesian, there's a whole history there basically any chinese restaurant in the netherlands is chinese-indonesian, because we adopted the indonesian kitchen a LOT, so there's a lot of sweet and salt type of stuff

My favourites are the bami and the last one sate kroket, sometimes the kaas souffle crust is too dry for me, but cheese good. My uncle mostly fries the potatoes and frikandels at home, because it's cheaper.

It looks more like an Automat than a vending machine. Great content guys.

[@Demian.VanderMade]

Ik als Nederlander vind dit echt een leuke video, Ga zo door!

[@chef7658]

Patisserie Holtkamp in the Vijzelstraat number 15 makes the best kroket in Amsterdam,every tourist should check it out

[@arnomeesters1]

[@karen4you]

The automat reborn! I would love anything but the burgers probably the most. If only this was near my house I could die happy. Automats have always been magical things of the past and it's beautiful they brought them back.

In the Netherlands they just never went away, and in the last couple of decades FEBO just took over most of the "automatieken", especially in the west of the Netherlands (the provinces north and south Holland). There are still plenty of non-FEBO ones around too.

You should have tried the Mexicano. It is my favourite one ! You can fry it, grill it, heat it by oven or straigth on the bbq.

3€ for a frikandel is very expensive. And you have te eat it with mayonaise, currysaus and unions. It's called Frikandel speciaal

[@berrievanderlinden3797]

The Sate Kroket is my favourite! Nice video guys!

[@MrZerointerrupt]

My favourite food in Amsterdam was the falafel!!! Thanks for bringing new food to try to my attention :) You both look great and happy here ❤

[@stuka78]

Which is not Dutch though

[@ROBDEWAND]

if you can find it next time try a vuurvreter, not sure if they sell it in the netherlands but they do in Belgium, you guys seem like you would enjoy that too

[@AynenMakino]

The frikandel is much better with some mayo and curry!

[@kqkim]

Welkom in Nederland! Nice to see you in my country😄 I hope enjoy your stay😃
