HEEEELLLPPPP MEEEE!!…. If there are so many Dutch dishes, why do Dutch locals always recommend Indonesian food when asked for a Dutch dish in person? This is my new question. Help me out!

[robforge]

Some tipical Dutch food and sweets are Boerenkool, stamppot, hutspot, koolraap, pannekoeken, poffertjes, haring, stroopwafels, kanneeltjes, Bossche bol, appeltaard, griesmeelpap, hete bliksem .Just some of the top of my head.
Love your stuff man, keep up the good work!

[BabzV]

People are looking at you because you're becoming world famous here in the Netherlands my friend! 😉

[saskiasmith]

Erwtensoep, rode kool met appeltjes, alle soorten stamppot bv zuurkool met spekjes en rookworst

[chrisdeveling]

The reason you thought of Atlanta when seeing that huge white building might be because the architect also created a huge building that's in Atlanta, which is the high museum of arts. The architect is an American.

I have a recipe for a typical Dutch dish for you: A stew called zuurvlees (or zoervleisj in Limburgish). I have two variations for you: one simple that my very poor nan made and one more fancy for special occasions.

The name means “sour meat" because of the vinegar, but it tastes actually sweet because of the gingerbread, syrup and sugar.
I translated it from Dutch so forgive me any spelling mistakes.


Recipe 1:

Ingredients
* 800 grams of foal or horse meat (poulet cut); alternatively lean beef, rabbit, hare, roe deer or venison if you can’t get any horse meat where you live, though Wildernisvlees has good quality feral horse meat that you can order online when in season.
* 4 dl. water
* 4 dl. natural vinegar
* 300 grams of thick onions
* 5 tablespoons apple-pear syrup (which is slightly sweeter than just apple syrup)
* Dutch gingerbread (as much as needed to make the dish thick)
* 3 leaves of laurel
* 2 cloves
* 150 grams of caster sugar (or liquid honey)
* pepper from the mill
* salt

Preparation:
Cut the meat in small blocks if necessary and marinate it for 24 hours in water and vinegar (50 \ 50) with salt, pepper, bay leaf, cloves. Roast the well drained meat shortly and put it back in the marinade. Roast the coarsely cut onions separately and add them to the meat. Warm the marinade and add the sugar and the syrup when everything starts to boil and let it simmer for about 2 hours in the marinade. Scoop the foam from time to time. When the meat is cooked, add the slices of gingerbread to bind the whole. Season to taste with salt and pepper. The desired sweet-sour ratio can be achieved by adding some apple-pear syrup.



Recipe 2

Ingredients:
* 800g horse stew meat (cut up pieces)
* 300 ml red wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar
* 1 bottle of dark beer
* 6 laurel leaves
* 10–15 cloves
* 25 juniper berries
* 4 large onions
* 2 cloves of garlic
* Raisins
* 6 tablespoons of apple syrup
* Dutch style gingerbread (as much as needed)
* Butter to fry
* Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
* Honey or brown sugar 


Preparation: 2 hours, 20min (and a couple of days)

Knee the juniper berries with the blade of the knife. Clean the meat and cut it into pieces of approx. 2x2 cm. Mix in a bowl of vinegar and beer and mix with the bay leaves, cloves and juniper berries. Add as much beer and vinegar as neccessary to fully submerge the meat.
Cover the bowl and leave the meat in the fridge for at least one day, but preferable three days.
Then take the meat out of the marinade and let it drain well in a sieve. Keep the marinade. Dry the meat with kitchen paper.
Cut the onions in (half) rings and chop the garlic very small. Roast the meat in a frying pan with the butter on a high fire, add, if brown, add onions. Add the garlic and let it bake.
Then lower the fire and poor the marinade on it. Sprinkle the apple syrup in it and let the meat stew well (about 2 to 3 hours).
Macerate the raisins.
Finally, remove the meat from the pan and remove the bay leaves, cloves and juniper berries.
Mix the crumbled slices of gingerbread with the cooking fluid to bind it, but make sure the sauce does not get too thick. Finally, add the meat and the raisins and allow it to warm well.
Season with pepper, salt and some honey or sugar. The sauce should be sugary, spicy and slightly sweet.


Some side dishes:


1) Red cabbage with apple, peaches and raisins:
* 3 peaches
* 1 red cabbage
* 1 onion
* 2 tablespoons brown caster sugar
* 5 decilitre orange juice
* 2 bay leaves
* 50 g butter
* 2 apples
* 1 tablespoon cinnamon
* 2 cloves (or clove powder)
* 100 g raisins
Cut the peaches into small pieces, chop the onion and cut the apples into small cubes.
Melt half of the butter, fry the onion, peaches and apples for 4 minutes. Then add the red cabbage.
Add some orange juice and the other herbs and let it stew with the lid on the pan for 40 minutes. Add orange juice when needed.
Stir occasionally.
Remove the cloves and bay leaves and stir in the rest of the butter. Then stir well again.


2) Apricots:
* 150 grams of dried apricots
* tablespoon of honey
* 2 tablespoons of roasted shaved almonds
Soak the dried apricots for an hour in some water. Drain and boil gently for ten minutes in a few spoonfuls of the cooking liquid. Stir some honey with the apricots. Use the apricots plus some roasted shaved almonds as a side dish.


3) Homemade fries, fried twice as it should be: in ⅔ filtered beef tallow and ⅓ lard.

4) or parsnip cooked and mashed with milk and small pieces of baked bacon

5) Apple sauce (puree apples in the blender and add some sugar)

6) mayonnaise (in case of fries).

We have some great winter dishes.. Andijviestamppot, boerenkool, erwtensoep

[gertvanderstraaten]

When I grew up (in the 1960s in a rural area) we ate mostly food from our own garden: brown beans, potatoes and bacon. Kale and potatoes and boiled pork ribs, white bean soup, pannekoeken with bacon or with cherries (for dinner), rhubarb with whipped eggwhites, cauliflower with a cheese sauce and potatoes and some meat of course. Basic meals had potatoes, one or two veggies and some meat, sometimes in a stamppot. It was mostly peasant food that would kill you unless you worked hard enough all day to compensate. I ate enough kale to be immortal if we are to believe how healthy it supposedly is.

[SideWalkAstronomyNetherlands]

Potatoes, vegetables, and a small piece of meat, as a hot meal, and bread for breakfast and at the middle of the day. Bread with tea. Boiled potatoes, well peeled!! Never in peel, boiled veggies, or green beans, the meat is done/fried/cooked in butter or fat, making a gravy .... You put the potatoes on your plate, squash them with your fork, mix them with the veggies put gravy on it. Have a small piece of meat with it. That is what most Dutch eat for warm meals...In the weekend we might eat Italian or Asian styled foods in stead as warm meal.. Indonesian food is Dutch food too.. Just like macaroni is Dutch too..

Tickets for next years F1 GP in Zandvoort are already available and you can just easily cycle to it from Haarlem 😊🏎️🏁

[gerrie]

Original pea soup (erwtensoep). When made correctly, with a lot of meat/sausage, it is perfect for a cold winter day.

And stoofvlees (meat stew). Works great with basically everything. Even on top of fries.

I lived in Den Haag for three years as a kid. I went to the American School of the Hague for two of those years and graduated from the High School in 1987. Living there was probably the best experience of my life and it opened my eyes to the world beyond the borders of the U.S.

I'll have to plan a trip back to visit. Thanks for bringing me back to my old high school stomping grounds!

BTW...I currently live in Atlanta. Funny you should be comparing the ATL and Den Haag! :)

[TheGwydion]

The frikadel was invented in my native city of Dordrecht. That's one!

[aero]

A big part of this is that America has a big Dutch heritage.

[myselfandeye]

I am starting to wonder how long your lunchbreaks are....
But good to see you went to the best city in the Netherlands.

[MartinWebNatures]

Love the video Sky ❤You always so fun to watch and positive attitude. Always nice what you tell about my country (yours for 4+ years as well)

[tommmmiii]

Not sure if people from USA are really (in general) occupied with the environment. Judging by the extreme consumerism, the huge trucks and cars, the polluting domestic airline industry, the senior citizens on polluting cruise ships etc. All in all… i love all the national parks and such… but there is no focus on diverting off fossil fuels etc.

[GertSchilperoort-km]

I have many US relatives. When they visit me in the asparagus season I serve them boiled white asparagus, slices of cooked ham, boiled egg and small potatoes with Hollandaise sauce. Salmon instead of ham if preferred.

[chaosmisha]

Den Haag is great! Or at least it used to be when I was younger, but I don't know if it's still the same. It used to be known for it's pubs with live music, rock bands, alternative scenes, theater and an overall great city for foodies etc.

[Roggen]

As u will see a lot of people reacting like mine Stamppot is a typical Dutch dish, like boerenkool, zuurkool, hutspot ( and a lot more but these are my favs, that's mashed potatoes, veggies and either a meatball and or rookworst), gerookte paling ( smoked eel )and then ofcourse you got your poffertjes, haring, stroopwafel, drop, chocolate sprinkles on bread and the rest i forgot. But yes we do have typical Dutch dishes. 😊
