Kapsalon is a Dutch dish, try to find it in Turkey. Its like the Indische Rijsttafel you dont find it in Indonesia. A Turkish pizza is called Lahmacun.

[@apveening]

You may not find it in Turkey (I wouldn't bet on it), but you will find it in a lot of other countries. nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kapsalon_(gerecht) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kapsalon

[@frankhooper7871]

I've always seen it as lahmacun (with various spellings) here in England.

[@dutchman7623]

Yep! it is Dutch... Belgium at the bottom, Turkey to cover it, Dutch excuse (salad veggies), Indonesia with its sambal, French sauce, Gouda cheese on top, gratin French style... Fusion cuisine Dutch style!

[@ixyzyxi]

Döner kebab is invented by a German Turk, in Turkey you’ll only find the sis kebab

[@zeynepyazici9618]

​@@ixyzyxiI don't want to sound rude but it seems you didn't visit Türkiye. Because we use kebab as a more general term. There are tons of different kebabs around the country. Even every city has their own kebab. Actually şiş kebap wouldn't be considered as a proper kebab since it's mostly made with chicken 😂.

[@bdwlivefree]

Kapsalon is espescially eaten at 3 am after a night out

[@finnvanderwant4416]

This is why the Turkish people are always so happy after they eat food! As a dutchie im a big fan of Turkish food too, my kcal app a little less, but hey what can you do about it.

[@irisvanspijk43]

The kapsalon is the best food when you're drunk! My friends and I had a lot of Turkish food after a night out.

[@aydinbiber7616]

As a half-dutch half-turkish person I gotta correct you. Kapsalon is Dutch, not Turkish. Invented in The Netherlands and you can't really find it in Turkey.

[@arddenouter4553]

That would be a "broodje fijn" - shoarma met brood en heel veul knoflooksaus.

Kapsalon is pretty Dutch. Never seen it anywhere else (or heard of it before I moved here).

Bruh at my place they have crispy fried chicken in kapsalon or spicy dragon(sambal and peanut sauce 🥜 🥵🔥) and even a Greek version with tzasiki and feta cheese 🧀 🤤

[@corneisgewoonsupertof]

The best food at 5am after a night heavy partying. I always buy two kapsalons, one for the morning after

[@Sanquinity]

A well prepared kapsalon where the fries are a bit crunchy, the meat is juicy, and the vegetable/lettuce mix is fresh, is such a big comfort food of mine. I only get one once every few months at most, but every time I do I love it. :)

[@gilles111]

My favorite Turkish food comes from Eethuis Krispijn at the JP Heijeplein. Best döner of Dordrecht. When in Rotterdam (around Central station) go to Konak (at the back side of the station) one of the best döner shops I know!

[@hannekehartkoorn5987]

Ayran is wonderful with spicy foods, especially well chilled. It's very similar to Indian lassi.

Ayran you should drink with a proper Iskender kebab on a hot day, the salt and yoghurt compliment the meat, cut the fat and if it’s hot it also adds a nice cold dimension. Ayran just rocks during summer, so many great food memories from my months of working in Istanbul for a Turkish TV operator :) tip: shake it until really frothy.

A proper iskender is hard to find. Recently got one and it was just pizza crust with fries and doner thrown together with tomato saus. And a arayn on the side. Very very disappointing 😞. If you guys want good freaking kebab you should visit Germany 🇩🇪 kebab is way better over there. The meat,the saus, the bread. Everything basically 😅

So much delicious looking food! Can't wait to visit Netherlands!

[@Sanquinity]

A lot of "our food" is indeed delicious. I put that in quotes, because most of the recipes were taken from other countries, and adapted to our own tastes afterwards. :P Which I guess could be expected since we've been one of the main ports of the world and a hub for a lot of world trade for a long time now, due to our central location.

[@ShadowDrakken]

@@Sanquinity that's fair. That's going to be true in most wealthier countries I think, because we have higher imports, more immigration, and unfortunately, more colonialism.

Turkish bread and food is fantastic, always visit a Turkish fastfood restaurant when in Rotterdam.

[@theflyingdutchguy9870]

[@FlipjevanTiel]

Kapsalon is our go to, when we don't have energy to cook ourselves (1 or 2 times per month). We love the kapsalon tandoori chicken with rice (X)XL. I like mine without cucumber, but with Jalapeño's.

[@Teslacoil333]

Aryn is great in the summer, in Trukey they make is fresh and less salty..

[@wilco8729]

Kapsalon is not turkish. It is sold in turkish restaurants but it is as dutch as it get.

[@JesusSaves4real4real]

Kapsalon with a cherry ayran and a baklava or two after that is perfect eating as a dutch man i love it

[@bartvschuylenburg]

It’s funny how they adjusted their food to Dutch taste. If you eat döner in Germany it contains a lot more salt. (Though Germans are almost religious about döner as if it’s their own traditional food) Yup, I prefere the Dutch döner.

[@buncharted]

yeah the turkish food situation is very different in germany which is super interesting!

[@3choblast3r4]

I'm not someone that complains about "cultural appropriation" ever but there is no other way to describe German attitude towards Doner. Literally every single German I've ever met is convinced that Doner was actually invented in Germany. When in reality, Doner existed for hundreds of years before Turks ever moved to Germany. Before the 18 hundreds it was roasted horizontally, till some chef in Bursa came up with the brilliant idea to do it vertically because it keeps the meat more moist (the fats melt over the meat). Doner has always been sold in both restaurants as a proper meal and as fast food etc. There are three German arguments I've heard. First one: Doner doesn't exist in Turkey, only in touristy places, it was completely invented in Germany (lol). Two, Doner was invented in Germany and spread to Turkey (lol). Lastly: Yes, sure, Doner existed before. But it was Germany that reinvented it as fast food and put it in between bread with condiments. All three of these are false. But I've had Germans get incredibly offended when they mentioned how they invented doner and I pointed out that wasn't true.

[@kerelberel]

The meat in German snack bars is of way better quality, and more often than in the Netherlands they make their own durum wraps.

[@rensbuist]

My favorite turkish fastfood is " Dönor on Turkish bread with salad & Cocktailsauce " we don't eat it a lot. But in the summer, after a full day swimming. And you order that. Bring it home .. its just SOOOO GOOOD !

[@TheSuperappelflap]

turkish bread is also great with ground beef with a lot of paprika powder

[@janeising3585]

If you change the meat of the kapsolon in chicken, you have his cousin, the kipsalon. You can make this at home!

a kipsalon is also where a chicken gets their haircut! :)

[@hantek1]

Thanks for the video, it's great to see people from other cultures taste foreign food ☺If I might, I just wanted to give my opinion about these 'Turkish' food: - Typically the gözleme is made with spinach and white (feta) cheese, or a spicy potato mash mixture. As a Turkish guy who lived there for 24 years, I personally never had a gözleme with sucuk and eggs. - The döner schotel (porsiyon döner in Turkish) will typically just be served with some wraps or some kind of rice (white rice or bulgur), grilled veggies and salad, not with french fries. - The broodje döner will normally be served in another type Turkish bread, but at some shops you can find this type of round bread too which is usually called 'gobit'. The ingredients are mostly more simple and Turkish people definitely don't use any garlic sauce. Usually it's served with tomatoes, lettuce, onion, pickles. Sometimes they add some kind of tomato sauce or ketchup and sometimes mayonnaise. That is also the case for dürüm döner. There is though a certain style of döner which is called Hatay or Antakya style which is usually served in a wrap and includes fries, some vegetables, tomato sauce and garlic mayo. - Falafel is originally from Lebanon, in Türkiye there are not many places where you can find falafel. But in the last years with the refugees from Syria, there are a few more falafel shops which are opened in Türkiye. - The kapsalon is indeed invented in the Netherlands and 999/1000 döner shop owners in Türkiye haven't even heard about this dish and it's almost impossible to find in Türkiye. Thanks for reading! ❤

[@RobinDeur1980]

Kapsalon is a great one for before you are hungover, so on your way home from the bar.

[@marky046]

You can make DIY kapsalon with frozen frikandellen. Use a cheese slicer to cut slices from the frozen frikandellen and use those instead of kebab. (you do still want to heat them up ofcourse). Pizza from a Turkish spot beats any chain restaurant like Dominos or NY Pizza btw. It's almost half the price, they bake their pizzas properly (so no half baked slab of floppy dough) and you get decent toppings. Id say you covered all of the essentials though

[@ShineSpark88]

Hell no, using frikandel is not the same as using doner.

[@zeynepyazici9618]

As a Turkish who grew up in Türkiye, I would recommend you visit Türkiye. I always feel if you want to experience something you should go it's home. Different countries have different preferences so foods changes over place to place. For example you won't be able to find kapsalon in Türkiye. Actually it's totally a Holland-Turkish food 😅 On the other hand I think it would be interesting to compare the taste between Netherlands and Türkiye.😊

[@Megalodon1986]

Absolutely, for the real deal Turkish food you need to go to Turkiye, but this is a pretty good alternative living in the Netherlands ;-)

[@HaarlemSquad]

You definitely had to try another Turkish dish called Kumpir. That's a big potato out of the oven, mashed with butter and melted cheese and a lot of different toppings. You must try. Believe me, you will love it!!!

Kapsalon essentially is fries overloaded with toppings and sauce. Similar dishes exist elsewhere like "Julienke" just across the border in Flanders or "Poutine" in Canada. Another contender from the Netherlands is "patatje oorlog". You could review them all ;-)

[@ialrakis5173]

With the exception of the pizza I would also put them all on the same level. I'm not big on vegetables but in a kebab or durum it just works.

You dont eat kapsalon hungover, you eat it in the middle of the night when youre drunk :P Oh and the "spicy sauce" is called sambal, its a south-asian recipe that is ground red pepper, a bit of salt and sugar and a lot of vinegar.

[@theBabyDead]

Actually the turkish don't use sambal. Not here, anyway. I forgot the proper name for it right now ... actually, I just remembered, it's called harrissa or however you write it. It's their own type of sambal. It's much better, imo. Then again these guys live up north so it might not be the same. I live in a southern city where the turkish were actually imported to so about 40% of this city is actually turkish lol.

@@buncharted🇳🇱 QUICK FACT: 🌮Kapsalon (English: Barbershop/hair salon) is actually a Dutch- Cape Verdean dish inspired by Turkish ingrediënts. You will not find it in turkey at all. The dish was created in 2002 when Dutch - Cape Verdean barber Nataniël "Tati" Gomes (1976-2023), who was also the owner of a hair salon (kapsalon) on the Rotterdam Schiedamseweg, had a lunch dish put together at the shawarma shop "El Aviva" in the same street, the recipe he created was made from all his favorite ingredients.The dish caught so much attention of the clients of the barber as well as the that within the next year 2003 it became a nationally recognized dish and it grew out to become an actual national dish in the years following, it is now officially Rotterdam heritage and technically it is a Cape-Verdean-Turkish-Dutch dish!. Sadly the creator of the recipe passed away summer of 2023 at the young age of 47, but his legacy is immortalized in Dutch culture! THANK YOU TATI GOMES!❤🇳🇱🇨🇻🇹🇷

De 🍕 kebab is nog lekkerder met knoflook saus. Er zijn nog twee Turkse desserts, de meeste Nederlanders kennen dit niet, maar ik vind het wel erg lekker künefe (means Angelhair/engelenhaar) en sutlaç (zoete rijste pap uit de oven)

I always found it weird when you order a 'rollo' (durum) with sauce, they heat it, with the sauce on it ! Mayo, garlic mayo, andalouse, samoerai sauce etc are cold sauces, not made to warm them up.

My suggestion to you friends is to take an Istanbul Street Food tour immediately when the Turkish economy is living the worst years of it's history. There is a huge difference between the Turkish food you eat in Europe and the food you eat in Turkey. These are all Europish way of Turkish Foods. There must be only cheese in the Gözleme. Döner and Kebab are two different things. In Turkiye we only put meat and some salad in Döner and also Dürüm. German based Döner is all around Europe and that's why they put too much stuff like sauce to make it a greasy form which is not healthy. Dürüm does not contains meatballs Etc.

This is really interresting, and to me, surpricing. Wherever you go in Europe (Scandinavia, Benelux, Germany, Austria etc etc) you will find Turkish take-aways (type Doner Kebab) but also sit down restaurants with fantastic food. What makes it so surpricing to me is that YOU never came across it before you moved to Europe. Here it is staple food almost on the whole continent... however, you have missed some amazing Turkish food. Among the fast food you might find 'Kofte'. Minced meat on a stick with LOADS of herbs. It might sound abit basic, but the herbs lift the meat to new hights. If you happens to have a jar of 'Ajvar' to dip them in, you just entered food heaven. (In former Yugoslavia they have a version called Chivapchichi... even more wonderful). . In Turkish restaurants you can also get a kind of breakfast you NEVER tasted before. Its a BIG bowl of something that looks like tomato soup, but it is so full of flavor that you can't even work out just what is in there... and then you eat that with bread from the stone oven. It will fill you up really well, but you will not feel over-full as you might feel after a lot of 'western' breakfasts.

Yes you only tried chicken kebab. Regular kebab is Made of minced meat, and some shops even feature lam kebab

[@dennisvanslingerland2258]

Lekker goed voor je ❤!!

[@mariaslokker1841]

I just like the variety of food in the Netherlands. I love chinees, indonesian, turkish, italian, greek, indian etc etc.

[@buncharted]

totally agree ❤️

[@nizami9494]

You really need to try da nina in dordrecht and lunch room het oosten

[@marcelbonzo1971]

Great post! There is also a difference between Dönner and Shoarma....Shoarma can be Pork or Lam, Chicken or Turkey. Maybe you could check it out in a future post! Thanks for this one and I love the fact, that you love it!

[@buncharted]

i’d love to! it’s so hard to find shoarma these days

[@marcelbonzo1971]

It is not hard, there are lots of places you can get it, even those places you already went to, just ask...I guess??@@buncharted

In general I would say that if you eat a dish with a foreign origin you have a big chance that the dish is altered from it's original due to local circumstances like the local taste and the availability of ingredients. Look at Indonesian restaurants or Chinese restaurants in the Netherlands. The dishes there are adapted for the Dutch taste. If you appreciate the dishes as they are presented there is no problem with that of course but some times they don't really compare good with the originals.

Imagine that if you go to a turkish doner shop in america and you say hey can I please order a barbershop

[@mrrizkhan3000]

the durum doner from the turkish place outside the rotterdam central station is the best one i have eaten in the netherlands. I think the place is called Konak. I have never been happier to have the NS cancel on me .

[@buncharted]

ive heard that!! i definitely want to go sometime

[@jenny9226]

Calling a frietje kapsalon turkish food is hilariously wrong. 😂

[@rolandbrouwer]

You should really try a Chinees-Indische rijsttafel, that was the first foreign food that became popular in The Netherlands. The portions are really huge so a Chinese-Indonesian Rice table for one person is enough for the both of you. I would love to hear you say Babi Pangang and Foe Yong Hai.

[@Paul_C]

You might try iskender version. Pide döner yoghurt and the rest of the trimmings. The yoghurt gives it something undefinable 😊

[@buncharted]

yum!

[@lizannif]

Do you guys live in Dordrecht? It's my home town. The guy from Wok Kebab is a champ. He makes such good food and he does it al by himself!

[@buncharted]

we do! and yeah, that was our first time there but we had an awesome experience. we'll definitely be going back...

[@eatordietrying]

Love the content! We have a food exploration channel in Amsterdam too! Curious to know how long it took you guys to get that "break out" video moment and if you have any words for motivation after our last video flopped!

[@Blackadder75]

just keep on trucking, the you tube algorithm ways are mysterious

[@eronsentertainmentstore6487]

So as Dutch person, living in the Netherlands for several years again, I never heard of, or seen, lecksmecki or whatever you called it XD

[@3choblast3r4]

Hoe? Lahmacun is available every single Doner Kebab joint and Turkish restaurant. You can even buy Durum Doner that uses a lahmacun as the wrap instead of a lavas / yufka (tortilla) bread.

[@eronsentertainmentstore6487]

@@3choblast3r4She used a store name as if it was a well known and common chain of stores. Ofcourse I've seen various places that have the food, Donor Company, Kebab factory etc. etc., but never this lecksmecki place.

[@3choblast3r4]

@@eronsentertainmentstore6487 Oh, bro I thought you were just mispronoucning Lahmacun lol Never heard of a place like that either. I only watched part of the video lol

[@Rimpelmans]

Wanneer komt deel 2 met een broodje Lams Shoarma en Kumpir? :-) Dat zijn mijn favoriete snacks van de Turkse snackbar, maar niet elke zaak heeft het helaas. Een Spinazie-Turkse fetakaas Börek is ook lekker als hij vers gemaakt is.

[@MercedesDenz]

As a turkish person, i am proud of my peoples’ culinary accomplishments and traditions.

[@TheCallOfDutyFreak]

kapsalon isnt turkish

[@kamsel79]

Mijn hemel, die pizza zag er heerlijk uit.
