Trying out SINTERKLAAS TREATS with MY NIGERIAN FAMILY

[@ElMariachi1337]

Cool to see your husband is a fan of the Dutch football team! And yes those chocolade kruidnoten are addictive

[@josphineogugua]

Ayyeee. He is rooting for Oranje 🤗. And those kruidnoten are my faves👌🏾

[@lennartvers1767]

Hope you stay with us for many more 'Sinterklaas avonden'. I love your grounded and openminded perspective on our people and country.

[@josphineogugua]

Thank you Lennart, I appreciate your comment and hope to stay for many more🤗

@josphineogugua Find yourself the best pastry bakery (Dutch: banketbakkerij) in Delft, and get a “banket staaf” or a “kerst krans” (they are the same apart from the shape). The filling (like with “gevulde speculaas”) is almond (Dutch: amandel) paste. Put it in the oven for a couple of minutes (it tastes best when warm) and enjoy! 😋

[@josphineogugua]

Thank you so much for recommending. Sounds like a Christmas plan for me👌🏾🤗

[@Dutchbelg3]

All the delicacies are based on the fact that in old colonial times the VOC (the medieval shipping company) brought a lot of spices to the Netherlands: Ginger, black pepper, nutmeg, kardemon, cinnamon , cloves and anis. The anis is the main taste of the pepernoten and the speculaas is made with a mix of the other spices. Almonds were also imported together with chocolate. The Dutch brand Van Houten was one of the first to make chocolate the way we know it. Gingerbread is a bit different! My favorite: The "dikke brokken speculaas" with roasted almonds ! But I also love marsepein and borstplaat... very sweet but delicious 🙂

[@josphineogugua]

Thank you so much Hans for sharing. I did enjoy the gevuld speculaas 🤗

[@rosameijering5161]

Well me as a dutch, a lot of that things i dont even like. But some of them are special

[@engr.onyiixofficial2468]

They all look yummy😋

[@josphineogugua]

I love love love gevuld speculaas ^^

[@josphineogugua]

It is delicious. Love it too

[@xSHLY]

Amandel is almond, de nadruk ligt op de tweede lettergreep. Leuke video so far!

[@joslauwers7960]

Hi You guys only took all gingerbread variaty's but there is more: 1. Marsepein (marzipan), 2. Suikerwerk (sugar confectionary) Marzipan is usual in figures and wrapped in tinpaper. Sugar confectionary is also in figures but most are in round about 2 Euro size and half a centimeter thick with a hard sugary outerside and soft inside in flavours vanille (white) caramel (light brown) and chocolate (dark brown. This Munt-sized sugary used to be given by a bride and groom to the catholic boys who served at the wedding-ceremony in church (no idea if it still happens.)

[@josphineogugua]

Ohhh Wowww, Thanks so much Jos for sharing. I didn’t know of all these varieties. Looking forward to the Next Sintaklaas so we can try out more🤗

[@saskia-pannekoek-vanderloo]

Hi Josephine, we are looking for a narrow recently built house just like yours in Delft. I've only seen them in the 't Haantje neighborhood and also in Pijnacker. Any recommendations? Thank you! Love your channel.

[@robertboender5816]

Was fun to meet your husband at work 😁 Keep on going with the channel, you both doing great.

[@HansGijswijt]

Ohhh can't believe you don't like pepernoten. They are my favourite! Anyways, video made me laugh. You two are so funny!

[@josphineogugua]

😆 😆😆 no way pepernoten is your favourite 😆. Maybe there is a different variation but the one we tried….. No no 😄

[@HansGijswijt]

@@josphineogugua nope you tried the real stuff! Maybe it's an acquired taste which means you have to keep on trying ;-) And I like that soft 'speculaas' stuff as well, it's delicious. Btw the chocolate 'kruidnoten', the ones you liked best, is something new I guess. Never heard of that before. You forgot to try 'taai taai poppetjes' though -Google it. Maybe next year you can make a video about that ;-)

[@bas7492]

Next year you could try two other types of Sinterklaas sweets: marsepein and borstplaat. Marsepein comes in all different shapes, like small carrots or fruit. Borstplaat comes as small slices (round and 2 cm diameter). Both are very sweet. If you're very brave you could try my favourite: suikerbeest (sugar animal). It's hard to get these days. I think only Jamin sells it. It's a small animal shape of (I think) 99% pure sugar, extreme artificial colouring, and very artificial flavouring. Something no responsible parent would normally give to children. But celebrations are there to do something different than normally

[@josphineogugua]

Thank you so much Bas for your recommendations, I will check them out next time. 😊

[@tetaomichel]

We are champion being second in the world cup. Hope this year we take the cup and we all can enjoy some gigantic parties.

[@FM4ever]

Most time people say pepernoten they actually mean kruidnoten instead.

[@hildelouisevrijs774]

Gevulde speculaas is filled speculaas. De filling is almond paste, this paste is very easy to make yourself. Erg lekker!

[@josphineogugua]

Heel Bedankt Hilde. Het is erg lekker👌🏾👌🏾

[@fransroel3016]

Jullie missen nog taaitaai. Heeeel belangrijk

[@devilsmaiden]

Speculaas is indeed much like gingerbread cookies, with a few different ingredients, not to be confused with the spongy "peperkoek". Pepernoten is pronounced like 'pay per no ten'.

[@josphineogugua]

Thank you for sharing. I enjoyed speculaas a lot.

[@coraschaos1]

LOVE your family and the vlogs you make! Instead of chewing the "chocolade kruidnoten" right away, you should first let them soften in your mouth. They are so much tastier that way!

[@RealConstructor]

You forgot marsepein (marzipan) en borstplaat (fudge/fondant), those are my favorites, next to speculaas brokken.

[@josphineogugua]

I will check them out in the next try.. 🤗. But thanks for recommending them🤗

[@malumbochavula2222]

My favoriet is pepernoten 😍

[@josphineogugua]

Wowww. That was our least favourite. But I’m glad you like it🤗

[@RealConstructor]

@@josphineoguguait has a taste of pepper and anise.

[@fransroel3016]

Amandel almond

[@josphineogugua]

Thank you🤗

[@TsuPaula]

Sinterklaas and Santa Claus are actually the same figures but used in two different festivals. However the kids see them as two different characters

[@angelajacoba]

My favourite sinterklaas snack is taai taai

[@fransroel3016]

Amandelspijs almond paste

[@josphineogugua]

Thanks Frans🤗

[@gerrygrouwe70]

Coudnt you find taai taai

[@josphineogugua]

I couldn’t find in Albert Heijn. I asked but they mentioned they didn’t have…

[@Panteni87]

At first, when i heard your husband's level of dutch, i thought you married a Dutch guy. He speaks it like a dutchie

[@josphineogugua]

He speaks so fluently👌🏾

[@r.a.h7682]

your husband is not from the netherlands? he sounds so dutch already.

[@josphineogugua]

He’s Nigerian 😆 and came to the Netherlands after I did but his Dutch is really good👌🏾
