TotalBiscuit Tastes The Netherlands

I thought it might be fun to show everyone what my husband thinks of some international snacks. While we have traveled quite a bit, and generally sample the local cuisine, we don't always get a chance to try snacks.

If you enjoyed this type of video, please leave a thumbs up or a comment below so I know you want to see more videos like this.
Thanks for watching!

As a Dutch guy this is absolutely hilarious. So good!

"TB Tastes Britain"
Wonder if he'll be overly critical, or like "See, this is how X is supposed to be. Get it right."

[Stormfox]

I laughed so hard when you said "Holland, I don't understand why you haven't been invaded yet".

And Wilhelmina was the Dutch queen from 1890 to 1948. So not our princess ;-)

[Volthoom]

Man, TB must be really feeling better if he's up to do these again.

That's wonderful.

Dutch guy here, i really loved John's reactions. Past summer i got to visit GB for the first time and it was great, and i mostly had the same reactions to food over there. 'Normal' is a relative as to driving on the right- or left side of the road.
The first item he tries isn't tasteful in and of itself but it is a great carrier for a variety of toppings both sweet and savory. For instance butter to 'glue' on some chocolate sprinkles. As you might know we Dutch love us some toppings on bread for breakfast and lunch.

Welke gozer bijt er nou in een keer pepermunt en napoleons door?! Daar moet je op sabbellen! En 2 stroopwafels tegelijk! Deze man is echt helemaal van het padje.

I can't even begin to express how happy I am to see these videos again. Not only are they hilarious, but I get to see TB smiling and as he said "feeling better". I hope these keep coming, I really do. My best to you all.

Pretty funny how basically everyone who speaks english as their first language manages to pronounce not a single Dutch word right, but make it sound German =D.

Also, to nag a bit, Holland is just 2 out of 12 provinces of the Netherlands. Also somehow our language is still called Dutch from hundreds of years ago, but if you translate it directly from Dutch, the country is called Netherland, and the language is Netherlands (Netherlandish maybe?) Like England and English.

The holland toast is actually called beschuit as in biscuit. Which actually means cooked twice. Which made bread last for months so it could be taken on long sailing trips. TotalBeschuit ftw ;-)

[Raiteicuno]

As a British person who has been living in The Netherlands for almost 2 years, this was an interesting video to watch.

It is a shame they didn't add more snacks in there. That box lacked content and hearing TB trying to pronounce Dutch words in German was hilarious.

Well I am off to the shops now to find some Droste cookies. I've never tried them before.

Get well Biscuit man and thanks for the vid Genna.

The Holland Toast (beschuit) is also recommended to eat when you are sick together with some tea. That way you eat some grain but your stomach won't get upset by anything, because it's so simple and plain.

[Onyxthegreat]

TB Germanifying all the Dutch words was both infuriating and hilarious. :P

[TheOrigamiOctopus]

oh my, TB reading Dutch out loud is amazing... As a native dutch speaker, I could not understand a word!

[haasgaming]

The purpose of the toast ("beschuit") is basically just filler with an excuse to put a ton of chocolate on it ("hagelslag") without feeling really bad about yourself. Really, you're thinking too fancily. EDIT: Well you found out the majesty later on anyway!

[JoshSweetvale]

My homeland is up! We're well known for calvinist blandness... Then again, so was Quaker's 'til they did Cornflakes.... Hope this'll be at least half as fun as the asian and south-american ones!!!

[asmcint]

Okay I gotta love his Chewbacca bathrobe.

[Schatten.mensch]

yay, i am very happy, that these are back. It is always interesting to see what the guys who make these boxes pick and the comments and reactions from both of you are really entertaining <3

[AstroTorch]

I respect TB's decision to stop engaging with social media. The fact he maintains the output he does post-diagnosis and during treatment is genuinely awe-inspiring. The fact is the human mind hasn't evolved to deal with the amount of feedback / interaction public figure does in modern society.

Call me an arselicker if you want but this seems to have gone largely unappreciated. I'm sorry, but the man is incredible.

[jirobow]

Just wanna say that i love your content and work, TB.
I know you probably won't read this, but your story and life are quite inspiring.
Your son is probably proud of both of you. I hope he plays at 60fps and knows what FOV is.
Have a nice day, guys. Spread the love.

[Saragraph]

No, you're not "supposed" to put stroopwafels on a cup of coffee or tea, that's just how foreigners seem to think it is. It is very normal to just eat them straight out of the package. Take it from the Dutchman. Nice to see TB feeling well enough to do this.


EDIT: I've never even heard of that Wilhelmina vs. King mints debate. If that ever existed, it was a long while ago. Nowadays, people just eat whatever kind of mint is available. And yeah, cheese flavoured stuff is pretty terrible. I don't understand how Bolletje makes money off of that.
