The fried snacks are definitely real dutch food. Not quite as traditional as something like the stamppot, but still very much dutch food.

Next time you should try erwtensoep (also known as snert) A real Dutch winter dish. Comes with rookworst, so I think you guys will like it.

Yes Hagelslag is a childhood thing. 
As a child I always got 1 tasty (sweet) sandwich and 1 healthy sandwich.
And with Roomboter is nice, but too thick.
Other (spreadable) butter is better and then spread on both sandwiches.
But you seemed very Dutch when you ate the sandwich.

In German, "lecker" is for the taste of food. In Dutch, anything can be "lecker". I remember back in the 80s when we were at a camping site in Italy, and next to us was a family from the Netherlands. Every morrning, the father would get out of the tent and exclaim "Aah, lecker Wetter!" 🙂

Advice: If you have supermarket stroopwafels, put them on a hot cup of tea to get the stroop melting.

According to the usual explanation, the Kapsalon dish originated in 2003 when Nataniël Gomes, the owner of a hairdressing salon (Kapsalon in Dutch) on Rotterdam's Schiedamseweg, had a lunch dish composed with all his favorite ingredients at the shawarma shop El Aviva, located a little further away. It became a regular order, which was given the designation 'Kapsalon'.

I think this is the first time I've seen anyone try a "stamppot" dish before on these type of video's, I'm glad you liked it. About the hagelslag sandwich: I think it would work better if you use a different kind of butter, the one you used is mostly used for baking. It doesn't really spread well over bread. Try margerine next time. And if you are going to do another food tour in The Netherlands, can I suggest Groningen? Lots of places to eat, pubs and bars (that stay open for a long time), and you can try an "eierbal".

Rule of thumb on the pronunciation of Dutch words: OO is a long O sound -- "stroop" (the Dutch word for "syrup") rhymes with the English word "rope". What the English would pronounce as they do OO is in Dutch spelled with an OE: "broek" (the Dutch word for "trousers") rhymes with the English word "cook".

Last time I was in the Netherlands (decades ago, alas), I'd go to the cafeteria in the Hema (usually the one close to the city centre of The Hague) for a bowl of pea soup "met". "Met" means "with", which in the context of pea soup meant the addition of a piece of cooked bacon fat, which perhaps sounds a bit iffy but it was utterly food of the gods, very filling and perfect for a cold day. It's unlikely that places like Hema's cafeterias cater to tourists, so you might try those for authenticity; with any luck, Hema's pea soup is still good. In any case, as I'm sure you already know it's best stay out of areas where tourists congregate. Tourists just drive up price and drive out authenticity.

Hi, the potatoes with carrots and cabbage is similar to Colcannon eaten in Ireland, boiled potatoes, boiled cabbage and possibly onion which is mashed with milk and butter and is delicious.

[casperg]

I am dutch myself, and I find it So cool that you go all the way over here just to pick a tast of our culture 😊😊

[jurgenolivieira]

Phil was actually licking the plate! Too funny, but imo it's one of the biggest compliments a chef can get! I need to go there.

[xander]

Just so you know. Amsterdam was Car-Centric in the past too! It's been a multi decade process of making it more bike, pedestrian and public transit centric. It's never to late to start transitioning to it!

[thernymous]

Colloquially "boter" in the Netherlands also refers to margarine and what's commonly known as 'halvarine' (a strictly Dutch term), a spreadable blend of margarine and vegetable oils. Much easier to spread on bread for hagelslag. :-) 'Roomboter' is the real butter. (Some brands write 'echte boter', real butter, on their roomboter wrappers.)

[andreone]

I'm Dutch. So bread with sprinkles/hagelslag is for breakfast. Vla is for dessert. Stroopwafel is a snack/cookie. Kaassoufle & bamischijf are fastfood snacks.
The best fries are Raspatat/ Maxpatat. It is not available in the whole Netherlands but if you come across it, don't hesitate and check it out. For a sauce with any fries you should definitely try Oorlog ( meaning war ) this is mayonaise with peanutsauce and onions. You will be amazed for sure.

[jeffhampton]

The first meal with the mashed potatoes, meatball, sausage and gravy looked the best. Thanks for the food tour.

[woesmaro]

As a Dutchman I can comfortably say that I would have eaten the stamppot, rookworst (smoked sausage), and gehaktball (meatball) and still would have gotten a second plate of it. Definitely one of the foods you miss when living abroad for a while, in my case when I went to South Africa for half a year.

[lindyralph]

I love the Netherlands, I lived in Groningen years ago. In Australia we have a similar thing to Kapsilan, we call it a Halal Snack Pack (HSP). Febo is so nostalgic, I remember seeing it for the first time and I couldn't believe you could just go and buy things out of those little warmers.

[RobinLights]

Yea, that's a lot better than just the snacks, eventhough they are great like Deana said.. Phil licking the plate lmao 😄Stampot is my favorite winter dish..
Bami hap for life!, goes great with some chilli sauce, but even mustard can be good. The choclate sprinkles are probably a childhood thing for most people. I almost never eat it, but when I do. I prefer the pure chocolate sprinkles.
Fun fact about kapsalon.
Kapsolon translated to English would be the hairdresser's saloon. The history behind the name comes from the city of Rotterdam where a local hairdresser would order this dish (in it's specific way where everything is just put on top of each other) at the next door Doner shop. It became popular and since the dish didn't have a name they named it kapsalon after the hairdresser saloon that was the first to order it. Years later. You can find this dish in many cities across the world. Especially those that get visited by a lot of Dutch people.

[GernickKuik]

Definitely try a Surinamese place for delicious stuff. You are not likely to find it outside of Surinam or NL. Maybe also treat yourself to Indonesian food. Both were colonies once and both have been responsible for fantastic dishes.

[nerina]

Nice video about the Netherlands. I'm living there almost whole my life.

Yes 'brood met boter en hagelslag' is a breakfast and lunch thing for the Dutch. I grew up with first a slice of bread with meat (ham or something) or cheese. Then I was allowed to have another slice with hagelslag. But now I live on my own and I still eat a slice of bread with hageslag.

Vanille vla, is most of the time eaten as a dessert. Sometimes you can put hagelslag or limonade syrup also in it.

One of my favourite dish is potatoes with 'snijbiet' (kinda endive like) with a kind of bechamel sauce. :) But unfortunately snijbiet is a forgotten vegetable here, so it isn't in the grocery stores anymore. So I grew them in my garden for a couple of years.

Another favourite dish for me is: potatoes, with chicory and ham and cheese baked in the oven. Don't know if it's typical Dutch though!
