WHO IS BUNCHARTED?
We're Michelle and Alex, an American expat couple living abroad in the Netherlands. 🇳🇱
In 2020, we quit our jobs to travel the world, and... well, that didn't happen. So in 2022, we decided to make an even BIGGER change by packing up our lives (and our cats 🐈) and moving from Austin, Texas, in the US, to Rotterdam, in the Netherlands. Subscribe for new videos like this every week!

[@NilsaTravels]

I can't believe that I as a German have never heard of these! They look delicious - I'll be on the lookout for one on my next Netherlands trip.

[@2coixos]

About 30 years ago I worked a couple of years in the Hema baking factory we made all the baked goods (except bread) for about 26 Hema's. I must have made over a million saucijzenbroodjes. Now you have to try the worstenbroodjes when you are in Brabant.

[@Luna-zt8ek]

You should try Bakkerij Van Der Sterre in Dordrecht. They have the best saucijzenbroodjes 😊

[@sommid]

I have googled where to buy the best saucijzenbroodje…..and you know what? It is in your hometown Dordrecht. We are talking about bakery De Man, on the corner of Krispijnseweg and Hooftstraat. Above the shop door is written in ‘cow letters’: the tastiest sausages in the world (and surroundings). You guys must visit the bakery some day soon, to check if it’s true 😉

[@buncharted]

i'll try it and let you know 😎

[@alamunez]

lol @ “cow letters” 😂

[@KajiRider1997]

Yeah that one. My sister used to go to that one when she lived nearby.

[@lienbijs1205]

Like an angel is peeing over you tongue? Unfortunetely pindakaas it is far from where I live but I think it is short through the bend to think that is the only good place to buy them. I can also put cowletters somewhere.

[@KajiRider1997]

@@lienbijs1205 sommige mensen kunnen better gewoon bij Nederland's blijven sorry 🤣 ik weet bijna zeker dat hij bedoelde dat het de beste plaats voor buncharted is omdat zij wel dichtbij wonen. Niet dat het de beste plaats is voor heel Nederland. Tis niet eens ver van het station. Gewoon even door het park lopen.🤗

[@NeoOnyx]

I’ve never put mustard on a saucijzenbroodje, but most bakery’s also sell spicy saucijzenbroodjes. The standard ones are a bit bland for me. Btw, ‘broodje’ is pronounced ‘broodjuh’, instead of ‘broodjay’ 😉

[@buncharted]

ah you’re right - it’s hard to break a habit once you make a video and say the word wrong a bunch of times 😅 and we are now on the hunt for a spicy saucijzenbroodje 😋

[@NeoOnyx]

@@bunchartedAwesome! I do hope you guys were trying the saucijzenbroodjes while they were warm, though, cuz the fat in it needs to get warm and melt a bit, so it gets tastier.

[@buncharted]

we ate them as the place provided them - and yeah, the warm ones definitely had the advantage

[@B0K1T0]

@@buncharted In some places (also some supermarkets I believe) you can also ask the staff to heat them up. I've always liked saucijzenbroodjes, but try to eat them only sporadically since I'm already not the skinniest person in the world ;)

[@marcovtjev]

Personally I like nutmeg/nootmuskaat in the meat. For me that is a deciding factor in saucijsje. I sometimes get them from the Jumbo at the station, but IMHO they are a bit too greasy.

[@ramonamaramis]

Your dedication and the flaky or not flaky attention you put in to these snack benchmarks is out of this world😁. Thanks for this much anticipated viddy guys!

[@hanhenderikse]

Nice comparisons, btw at Jumbo you have 2 versions, the Jumbo (cheaper one) and the La Place version (expensive one)

[@lickingdogs]

Years ago they had ragoutbroodjes everywhere. A square shaped pastry filled with the ragout you find inside of a kroket. I always preferred them over saucijzenbroodjes en frikandelbroodjes. Somehow they disappeared.

[@buncharted]

oh wow, i could definitely get into that

[@aislingbooks]

My nonvegetarian husband makes his own ragout. And you can buy flaky shells to accompany the mixture, which we've also made vegetarian. It's an especially tasty winter weather dish.

[@user-qd2ct1ue4v]

i agree,at the Bezorgbakker they still got them,very great taste

[@TP19091979]

The best ones are from De Broodjeszaak, usually found at the trainstations.

[@nuuwnhuus]

Best savory snack is a broodje rookworst from the Hema. And then you need to be lucky that you have one that's extra extra juicy, I try to go around the end of the day, seems to increase my odds.

[@buncharted]

we’ve had the rookworst broodje once and it was amazing

[@Richard-Volvo65]

From the warmer in the store. ofcourse

The final ranking page was showing super short, 1 second. 😅 But I really like the video. ❤

[@Henny1972nl]

When I was traveling Australia, I noticed that saucijzenbroodjes are very popular there also. Mostly they serve it with tomato ketchup on the side and they call it a 'Dead Horse'.

[@Jonathansayshi]

I agree with you, i also like the ones from plus. 😋

[@peterf1]

I rate this video 5 stroopwafels for vital research for anyone visiting the Netherlands.

[@renevaanhold]

I add 5 stroopwafels. So 10 out of 10 for Michelle and Alex! 😄

[@StevenvanderGraaf]

The best saucijzenbroodje by far is that one of the Plus supermarket. Not the regular one but the Angus one. Really delicious

[@casperrozenboom6408]

I have never put any sauce on a Saucijzenbroodje before.

[@macbosch64]

I have never liked sausage rolls, but glad you like them. Good idea to compare the different brands.

[@wilwulpje5684]

my go to snack is Rempejek, so tasty.

[@robertjag167]

The Bakker Bart here has the croissant hete kip which is my absolute favorite!

[@gsternfeld]

I have never met a Dutch person who uses mustard on a saucijzenbroodje. If you are ever in Amsterdam, try the saucijzenbroodje from Kuyt Patisserie…it is soooooo good!

[@stephanvanlunenburg4930]

a lot of these saucijzenbroodjes come from the same industrial bakery / factory (many bakers where you buy as a consumer also use these). there are of course still differences such as quality of ingredients. In addition, they are bake-off products, so there can also be a huge difference per store location.

[@Konaboy]

Never tried that snack before, we will be in Amsterdam this weekend for the City Swim, so I will try this out! Thanks for all the tips you guys share!👍🤙

[@markjacobs1086]

I'd advice getting some sort of sauce you like with it since it's otherwise pretty dry / plain after a few bites. They're otherwise pretty good.

[@jakobdieckmann]

Holtkamp No sauce

[@notrelevant5393]

A saucijzenbroodje is not really breakfast material. More common as a snack during a coffee break. Perhaps there are people here that eat them for breakfast but i guess those are the same people that have a red bull for breakfast;) Hema is known for their rookworst and their saucijzenbroodjes. Good to see that you agree with the Dutch on that

[@buncharted]

nothing wakes you up like a red bull and a saucijzenbroodje

[@NLKINK]

When I was running early yesterday morning I saw a girl walking towards the closest busstop. She was drinking an energy drink while smoking a cigarette. Somehow I feel that is conflicting.

Hey! Talking about the more upper echelon version of this superb treat.. Since you live in Dordrecht now, I can warmly recommend the saucijzenbroodjes by Bakker van de Breggen at the Reeweg.. They are simply the best and town and they have one that is slightly spiced up with sambal.. which is supertasty as well!

[@ingrid_914]

I always put some sambal on my saucijzenbroodje 🙂

[@themadsamplist]

I think I'm going to pronounce it like that from now on 😁 It sounds really enthusiastic

they are hard to find but some have veal sausage. realy delicious

[@the_shiny_wartortle_8913]

My favorite to get snacks is at my local shoarma Shop or Lidl

[@JezzN]

I'd love to see you do this with other bakery items. I feel Lidl is generally a lot better than their saucizenbroodje

[@lillekenatnek195]

I think the HEMA one is best. SPAR does a really good job too, it's the dark horse of the sausage breads lol

[@buncharted]

there is not a plus super close to us - we’ll have to stop by one someday!

[@jeffafa3096]

When you get a freshly baked one from one of the supermarkets, it's always a lot better than when it's been laying there for an hour or so. Getting one that is fresh from the oven is what you should be aiming for.

[@BrazenNL]

I've never put mustard on it, and I only eat them warm (from the store or oven at home).

[@JTerburg-hm6tk]

Great video! Loved it! We never eat the saucijzenbroodje for breakfast though! ... But I guess some do... That's fine. Yes: for a quick lunch or a snack, oke. Maybe with some coffee or tea. Specially in winter times. It will pick you up. Or even for a treat! For my family, it's always special! The flaky, buttery consistancy of it... that's was always kinda "posh" , because of the amount of butter in it. Nowadays, it's more common. With sauce??.....mmmm... it's oke, but I don't remember anyone put sauce on their saucijzenbroodje. But please DO if you like that! Why not?

[@elsvanzwoll]

We don’t eat them with mustard. We eat them as is. ;)

[@treintje1001]

The best ones are not found in the supermarket. Go to the local bakery for the best ones. They are usually much more fresh and hand made and they tast much better than the ones you find in the supermarket. And they flake off and create a mess :-). They are supposed to do that. A roll that doesn't flake off is either not fresh or factory-made. The best ones are soft, crunchy and flakery, and create a mess when you eat them. And they should be served warm :-). Hema is indeed the best of the bunch that you selected. Hema serves a pretty decent one.

[@queercastlimburg]

Spar and Dirk are member of 1 purchasing organization, which means that baking products, among other things, are the same. Jumbo and Hema (La Place) are from the same parent company also they used same products.

[@buncharted]

the jumbo and hema ones look very different and were priced very different. i think hema is definitely selling a more upscale version!

[@racingweirdo]

The hema one was warm while the others not. Thats a big difference😂😂

[@buncharted]

like half of them were warm! jumbo, hema, spar, bakker bart… maybe another but i forget 😅

[@ReneVanKralingen]

Next time you're at a trainstation, try one from Kiosk .... they're good... greetz from Delft

You both went to Deventer in Overijssel but not to the capital of Overijssel Zwolle. Zwolle is a historical city with also nice restaurants. You have a pancake ship and when you want to have a nice breakfest you have to go to Vito.

[@buncharted]

soon!

[@Brutalion82]

I always prefer the ones from the local bakery. There's a bakery chain here in Zoetermeer called Jongerius. It's saucijzenbroodjes are very tasty! Especially when they warm it up for you

[@Bramfly]

Usually the best saucijzenbroodje (pig in a blanket) is found at an artisan bakery (warme bakker) in my opinion as a person fond of these snacks. Always have them warm btw, that’s the best experience 😊

[@bearclaire]

Pig in a blanket is not the same as a sausage roll tho

[@Pannemat]

The sausage should be super hot or it's unedible. Remember that most of these classic Dutch foods are "winter warmers". Even though the snack will give you greasy fingers, the thing can be super dry. Washing it down with a cold drafted standard beer is almost mandatory. ... HEMA is trying to be one of those sit-down places (and frankly have been for decades) so you're paying lunchroom money. (Just take their stroopwafels home!) Still not as bad as most HoReCa (now there's a Dutch word you should know about because it doesn't translate to English into a single word) prices.

[@peak196]

You made Jumbo really happy there with a 6/5 score. For a second.

[@buncharted]

hahaha

[@ivo215]

I like the one from Hoogvliet.

[@Bandit-Darville]

There really is one chain you missed for this test and that is the ones you get at Kiosk on the trainstations. Other than that, i suggest finding a local bakery (not like Bart) and try the ones they offer, if they make them. In my experience those are cheaper and WAY better.

[@buncharted]

ahhh kiosk was a miss - dang!

[@astriddekoning2040]

The best sauzijenbroodjes from the supermarkt ( in our taste) we buy are the ones from Dekamarkt and Vomar....! We tryed a lot , but like them the most.

[@Fabiansegara1969]

Now...... try the Brabantse Worstenbroodjes. But you need to go to a bakery too. to taste the difference between them and a supermarket.

[@ialrakis5173]

First of all thumbs up for Michelle's hairstyle in the apartment 🙂 About the mustard; I never tried it to be honest. When I eat them at home my go to sauce is curry ketchup. What I really hate is stores where they put a ridiculously cheap sausage in the dough. I prefer minced meat that still has a nice structure.

[@frankgeurts3912]

Next try the cheese variant

[@ShadowDrakken]

Even the "expensive" one seems very reasonable compared to food prices in the USA right now :( And I'm not even in an expensive city O_O

[@ncscoobysnack]

If you travel a little further south then Dordrecht you'll find the "worsten broodje" which is kind of specific snack in the south of the Netherlands. It's allso sausage in bread but very different from saucijzenbroodjes.

[@carpor911]

I hope your next video will be about 'borstenbroodjes'

Hema can be cheaper. If you buy it from the bread section

[@Treinbouwer]

De bakker, zoals bij zo'n beetje elk broodje is een saucijzenbroodje het lekkerste van de ambachtelijke warme bakker. De bakker is alleen nogal duur, dus wordt het meestal toch de super.

[@ExitiumNL]

1:21 I take a worstenbroodje over a saucijzenbroodje any day, and both with ketchup please :) One of the few things I actually have ketchup with. If I eat on the road, no sauce is fine with a saucijzenbroodje for me. (although in that case I get them at a proper bakery though)

[@TheEDM1987]

heyyy congratulations!!!

[@TomboyVale]

frikandel broodjes with the currysaus are good too 🤩 also the curryketchup from aldi is tasty

[@palantir135]

They are snacks, not for breakfast or lunch. You don’t put mustard or whatever on them. You should also try Brabants worstenbroodje. First find out where the best are made. Have you thought about buying them at your local backer. The same with bread. Also have a go at Limburgs zuurvlees. (Zoervleisj). You can make it yourself or buy it at AH at the Streeckgenoten. Eat it with friet and apple juice or whatever vegetable. Lidl, like Aldi are supermarkets.

[@buncharted]

the bakery is the best for sure but the video is comparing them at the major dutch chains :)

[@buncharted]

we’ve only seen it a few times but we will have to check it out. we did try a frikandelbroodje though and we definitely prefer that over the saucijzenbroodje!

[@senjinthedragon]

@@buncharted I don't know about the rest of the country. But 'Brabants worstebrood' is a thing of pride for a lot of bakers in the south. So much so that each often has their own recipe and there's a yearly rating of who makes the best ones. I believe there's a strong divide in the country where 'above the rivers' people eat more saucijzenbroodjes and below the rivers it's more worstebroodjes. I used to live in a small town where both the prize-winning bakery and the prize-winning butcher shop were ran by people of the same family with a passion for food, having their own cattle and mills/fields even. So the butcher did his best to make the best sausage and the bakery tried doing the best breading around it. The worstebroodjes there were delicious a little more salty but also more flavourful and a tad more spicy then the average supermarket ones. I can highly recommend doing a similar comparison on them. But don't stick to supermarket ones because most of those are sub-par. (Some supermarkets do carry local specialties from regional producers so there's exceptions.) Both worstebroodjes and saucijzenbroodjes are considered snack-food. So it's not something you _should_ eat every day because honestly they're just too fatty for that. It's often eaten during tea/coffee-break in the morning or as a quick snack whenever. Or even when it's someones birthday, they will often celebrate by buying a bunch of worstebroodjes for their colleagues at work for breaktime.

[@chewynettles7911]

I think it really depends in what Albertheijn store you are. The Albertheijn store in my neighborhood sells the best ones. Even better than the bakery or Hema

[@dutchgamer842]

Aren't they all from the same factory?

[@DennisLongstream]

I don't think it depends on that. They all come from the same factory. I think they still get a high grade here because I find them really disgusting at Appie Bone dry, just like the frikandelbroodjes they sell. Nice sauce but you almost choke because they're so dry.

[@dutchgamer842]

@@DennisLongstream The person I replied to was talking about Albert Heijn, Albert Heijn uses one factory for the frikandel broodjes.

[@aislingbooks]

Since I grab a lot of lunch at train stations due to my always taking long-hour journeys to p.t. work destinations, I often buy at BackWerk. And my experience there is hit and miss. I'm also vegetarian, though, so no tasting [sow-síze-ehn bró-tches] ...emphasis is on the 2nd syllable of 'saucijzen'. ;) The Dutch often swallow that last 'n' of 'saucizenbroodje'. I've had sandwiches there that were disappointingly dry, but what I really like are the ciabatta mozarella sandwiches that have an amazingly delicious tomato pesto spread. Unfortunately, however, these are often unavailable because others must really like them too.

[@buncharted]

haha that’s what we get at backwerk too 😂

[@aislingbooks]

Yums. BTW, my Dutch husband corrected my pronunciation too...ugh. So, I corrected my pronunciation for you as well. Some Dutch words are harder than others, but as long as I've been here I think I've mastered most pretty well though I still have problems with some of my dipthongs such as 'eu' combinations and always making 'w' sounds with the 'v' words.

[@Stormvogel262]

These are generally eaten without sauce (I never did and don't know anyone who dus). I think they might have been on the dry side because they were cold. Worstenbroodjes on the other hand are often enjoyed with ketchup or curry. You should try some of the traditional ones from Noord Brabant.

[@buncharted]

[@nuuwnhuus]

@@buncharted Worstenbroodjes have a more bready pastry and an encased sausage. Also they're inedible without sauce in my opinion, though I've probably only tried bad ones.

[@Stormvogel262]

@@buncharted Worstenbroodjes are made with white bread dough instead of puff pastry, I prefer them over saucijzenbroodjes because they’re less heavy, fatty and are often enjoyed with curry or ketchup. They originated in Noord Brabant, originally as a food preservation technique and were often enjoyed during Dutch Carnaval. They can somewhat of a big deal in the south, there are yearly competitions for ‘Best worstenbroodje of Noord Brabant’ and are even part of Unesco world heritage since 2016. I must say that outside Noord Brabant the worstenbroodjes can be somewhat plain/dry. I’m not a fan of the supermarket ones at all in general.

[@H1SCOTTY]

Bakker Bart And all supermarkets bake of instead of make it and bake it. Was the Dirk one warm? It looked like cold stil need to be baked off, they really need to look like the brown colored lidl one, but of course it needs to be puff pastry. Yeah they need misters chilly sauce a bit heated is nice. I really like the oily ones that you’ll find at train stations or in the cafeteria of a ferry.

[@H1SCOTTY]

And of course the real ones at the real bakery who’s probably more expensive. But as a brabander we’re more of the worstenbroodje, Belgian worstenbroodjes with puff pastry (Brabantse worstenbrood has a bread crust ideal for breakfast on a festival conserved withinthe bead).

[@hugoveer]

Go to La place pls there the best

[@SwirlingSoul]

Did you eat these COLD?!!! Yuck! They're supposed to be hot. (my personal opinion of course!) That was fun to watch! I don't like peppery foods, so I have a different one as my yummy one, but I have not tested the Hema one yet. Just didn't think to get one there! Our local Bakker Bart has a tendency to bake them to a very very dark brown...too much so, unfortunately, and it is too fatty. My favorite snack is a tub of fresh nuts and raisins. Several kinds to be found. Of course they're the best on the markets, those are really fresh.

[@buncharted]

we ate them as they were provided to us 😄

[@MartijnFrazer]

The funny thing is if you translate saucijzenbroodje to "sausage roll" then worstenbroodje also translates to "sausage roll". But they're not the same thing!

[@hcjkruse]

Quite a few Jumbo, Albert Heijn, and Spar supermarkets are owned by local franchise takers. They can and do differentiate themselves by offering locally sourced products such as better quality bread from local or regional bakeries or like the Jumbo in Twello own their own next to store bakery. Some supermarkets do the final baking stage, in the store one or 3 times a day. Some supermarkets don't have there own "bake-off" ovens. Regional bakeries for supermarkets also differ. I noticed the bread in Eindhoven had thinner slices than in other parts of the Netherlands. Why? no idea. AH to Go in Deventer has fresh bread early in the morning. Even better are the croissants from "Super Gewoon", formerly a SPAR branded supermarket. SPAR, an originally Dutch supermarket, wikipedia that, has two kinds of stores in the Netherlands. Convience stores like you will find in bigger city centers, near train stations or within petrol stations. They used to have more normal supermarkets too but are trying to convince the franchise takers to become convenience stores. This is not something that will work everywhere hence the SPAR branding is sometimes replaced by something local while the store still sells SPAR branded goods. You missed PLUS and Hoogvliet supermarkets. Between bakerij Bart and Hema you could also test Febo and La Place. HEMA was bought by Jumbo a few years ago. Jumbo bought the insolvent Vroom& Dressmann (V&D) department stores a few years ago. This included the in store restaurants La Place, which sometimes also existed outside the department stores. Are there differences between Hema, Jumbo and La Place saucage rolls? Maybe not if they are owned by the same franchise taker. Food in larger stations seems to be sold by one company under different brands. So there might be no difference on one station but there may be between stations. I also suspect te AH to go on Utrecht Centraal and the AH to Go on the nearby Square to sell different saucage rolls. HEMA: Hollandse Eenheidsprijzen MAatschapij or ... Hier Eet Men Afval, you decide :)

iI eat a lot of saucijzenbroodjes, and in every town in the West of Holland, i know where to get the best ones, and then I mean at bakeries, of course. I do buy supermarket broodjes as well, and I agree with you on Albert Heijn and Jumbo, they aren't very good. I do like the ones from Lidl, AND from Dirk. I suspect you had a bad batch in the store where you bought them. They are baked in the store in a fully automated overn, the only thing the staff has to do is put in the raw stuff, and take it out when the oven is finished baking, but still there is a lot of difference between batches, for some reason. In most stores, you can choose which one you take. I always choose the ones that are the darkest brown, because they tend to have the most crispy pastry. The ones from Bakker Bart and the Hema were the most expensive, because they were warm, and then you pay restaurant prices. Bakker Bart also sells them cold, to take home, and then they are cheaper. I haven''t been to a Hema in years, so I don't know if they still sell them cold.

Did you eat the saucijzenbroodjes at Bakker Bart and Hema warm/hot and the one from the other stores cold? That’s make a difference as well ☺️

jumbo and spar were warm as well! the others were room temp.

[@lydiavankreij9867]

Okay, that’s a fair comparison with at least Jumbo and Spar 😄

I often make my own when the kids and grandkids come for brunch on Sundays but HEMA would be my choice for buying some.

The broodjes from Urk are the best. Lots of savory meat. 😅

[@buncharted]

When we buy saucijzenbroodjes we make sure to buy them as fresh as possible at a proper bakery or from a bread bar in the supermarket. Our advice is never to buy them prepackaged in plastic, especially from cheap supermarkets like Aldi. They're cheap but tasteless. Oh, and the Dutch don't add mustard, ketchup, mayonaise or other sauces to their saucijzenbroodjes.

I never eat these cold or for breakfast, maybe I'm doing it wrong 😄😄

[@buncharted]

i would never eat them cold either tbh. they’re so much better warmed up!
