- Oliebollen!! Another reason we love the Netherlands!! It's Oliebollen Season in the Netherlands! As American expats living in the Netherlands, we have experienced 6 different seasons here in the Netherlands...Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall, Haring and Oliebollen!! We have come to love certain traditions and when it comes to Dutch food especially around the Dutch holidays...they nailed it with Oliebollen. As an American living in the Netherlands, the holidays take some getting used to.
Dutch Christmas traditions can be different, the days celebrated can be different and the food can be different as well.
I have just been looking 15 minutes at two people eating oliebollen and talking about oliebollen. ‘Het moet niet gekker worden’ but I loved it.
Always have a smile on my face when watching a uploaded video from you. Your enthousiastic presentation and living in the Netherlands is definitely making me proud as a Dutchman. We are not perfect, far from it, but your researching the Netherlands in all it aspects is great to follow. Pls continue like this ...
The way one can really tell that you both are adapting well to our little country is "Boom. Ooh that's fireworks", and "no it must be a backfire..." and not even thinking of fire arms.
great! when i was a child my mother was in the kitchen all day, we helped out , cutting appels and helping with the dough , then we had piles of them in the house! not ate all of it ofcouse, so at midnight or just after i sneaked downstairs to eat some of the many left overs..so lovely.
For me the most interesting thing in this video was actually when that loud bang went off and Eric saying they started off early with fireworks instead of the american instinct of it being a gunshot, good to see!
For me the obvious holiday snack is chocolade pepernoten but I actually prefer a good banketstaaf from the bakkery a little warmed up in the oven even better.
An oliebol is actually what a doughnut used to looked like before it made its way to the US via the Dutch (and English) settlers. It's in the name: it's a nut made out of dough. However, the core of the doughnut had a tendency to remain raw. But instead of frying it further (and risk burning it on the outside), the bakers took out the core and we were left with the toroid shaped snack now called the doughnut.
So, an oliebol is not the core of a doughnut, but actually a doughnut with the core still in it.
I am glad you liked them!
Aha, you bought your oliebollen at Richard Visser (Richard Fischer). He is well known and one of the best oliebollenbakkers in the Netherlands. Won many prices.
Tammy, your "nee nee nee" is soooo very Dutch already! :D As for holiday treats, we've lived in Canada now for 25 years but still manage to get our hands on a "banket-staaf" every Christmas. We do make our own oliebollen en appelflappen here for new years. The Dutch sure have something new to get excited about every season when it comes to food though!
YESSS! Tammy's way of speaking Dutch is really good!
@@MartijnFrazer Thank you😊💕
Thank you very much, Maaike😊💕
En Dropjes natuurlijk 😍
Hi I m new here on your channel and what a fun it is to following you. Thanks for sharing your life in Rotterdam, my hometown.
Autumn or fall is in Dutch: herfst or najaar (the afteryear). Herfst and harvest have the same origin. Herfst is simply the time of the harvest. For some this means they reap wheat, others harvest oliebollen.
use to live there luv it good ole Vroessenpark!
I loved the oliebollen tasting video 🙂 Retirement should be all about that: Enjoying the good things in life 🙂 OF COURSE you guys need to do a Sinterklaas treats video! Here are my favorites:
Dikke speculaas brokken!
Banketstaaf (roomboter from the real bakker)
Gevulde speculaas (from the bakker)
The hollow chocolate figurines
Suikergoed en marsepein
Kruidnoten (the small round hard ones)
Pepernoten (the softer bigger ones)
taai taai 🙂
The country is devided in 2 groups of people: the group who only considers oliebollen real oliebollen when they contain raisins. And the group who only want the bare thing without. Nice you like them both.
Groep 3: krenten, rozijnen & sucade (currant, raisins & succade). Groep 4: geen gist maar bier (no yeast but beer) en dan het liefst een goede bokbier.
@@henkkoopmans3240 oké, altijd baas boven baas…. En dan is er nog de discussie over de naam. Waar ik vandaan kom zijn oliebollen altijd de naturel en de anderen heten krentenbollen. In andere delen van het land heten het oliebollen met of zonder rozijnen.
@@skippynoah Niets persoonlijks, gewoon mijn "jeugdtrauma"? Ik kom zelf uit de Antillen en mijn vader (uit R'dam) maakte toen dus in de tropen de bollen met rozijnen en sucade met Amstel beer (werd toen nog geproduceerd in CU) en noemde het oliebollen en mijn moeder (uit Dordt) olie-krenten-bollen. Maar wat waren ze super lekker. Rond deze tijd zijn er waarschijnlijk ook in Curaçao al oliebollenkramen te vinden. Dertig december maak ik ook volgens de traditie het beslag (met rozijnen, krenten en sucade en gist, tja, ik woon in Dordt en drink liever de bok) en 31 december stinkt mijn huis naar gefrituurde oliebollen en dan maakt het eigenlijk niet uit wat er in zit en hoe het heet (what's in a name?). Wens je alvast een geweldige jaarwisseling!!!
Raisins!
@@henkkoopmans3240 haha, lekker op tijd dus ik wens je het zelfde. Ik ben geboren in Friesland en daar heten het oliebollen of oliebollen met krenten en rozijnen. Van huis uit ben ik echter meer een fan van de appelbeignet van beslag, niet van dun deeg zoals Eric en Tammy hadden. Gewoon een plak appel met een gat erin door (bier) beslag halen en in de olie bakken. Koud de volgende dag nóg lekkerder.
Nice to see you back!
Yes, I am glad to see Soul to Soul back, but also the oliebollen!
Can you guys not start a daily morning show 😁 love to wake up with such positivity. I don't know what else to watch during coffee 🤭
The Netherlands during the Christmas and New Year season is fantastic. I loved walking around and seeing the carts and smelling the delicious smells and eating the delicious treats. And the fireworks on New Years Eve was incredible. Loved it so much!!
You need to try a foodconcept which is favorite during the holiday season: Gourmetten, it is intended for more persons but you can definitely do it with two people. Or fondue.
Yum! My mum made oliebollen every Christmas. My parents immigrated to Canada 62 years ago
I love these vids and Tammy is so 'bubbly', it makes you smile.
Applebeignets are my favourite. But you should try Berliner Bollen next time. It's oliebollen filled with pudding (vanilla).
Applebeignets with frangipane as the "apple core"
Berliner bollen are with "jam", nog pudding. The ones you mean are just "puddingbollen".
For Sinterklaas I'd suggest marsepein, borstplaat and gevuld speculaas from a bakery, not supermarket.
You made me crave oliebollen now. There's a kraam 2 minutes away 😅
😂
The best commercial for an oliebollenbakker I've ever seen.
Sell that trade!
I just discovered your channel, nice to see how people from another country view our culture.
You show it in a nice honest way and as a Dutchman I recognize a lot in it. Also the annoyances.
Welcome to De Efteling euh, The Netherlands!
Thank you for discovering our channel, Gazelle1934!😊
Gevulde speculaas and amandelstaaf are great treats around Sinterklaas and Christmas. Erg lekker!
I like the one's with krenten in it and with rum raisins in them
i really like the two of you,makes me smile
Awww, thank you Jolanda😊💕
Well, now I want oliebollen too. 😂
Oh, I like oliebollen so much. Especially when they are warm and "knapperig" Jammie
The Netherlands is not so big but what I really like is that different area's and provinces have their own special treats. Like the Limburgse Nonnevotten at carnaval (if you like oliebollen, you will love these too) and of course real Limburgse Vlaai, Fries Suikerbrood, Brabantse worstenbroodjes, Groninger Eierbal, Tielse Kermiskoek etc. etc. I recommend to try them all :)
Man, you can even hear it is the good stuff when you bite in them. 😋
I'm having a craving now ^^
If you wanna be a dutchie, you need to gourmetten on Christmas. I still love it. Because there is something for everybody 😅
You guys make me crave oliebollen
My brown round buddies!! Luckily i have a stand 50 meters from my house once a week! and yes.. all year round :)
Great video!!! Een goede oliebol is een van de lekkerste dingen hahaha
Awesome people. I wish you were our neighbors 😂 you would fit in so well
Some old fashioned but very nice thing for Sinterklaas is ‘borstplaat’. My mam used to make it or we just bought it. Basically it is melted sugar with some cream. You only see it these days in the more luxurious pastry shops. Of course we love to eat ‘speculaasjes’ with a cup of tea and all sort of things made of ‘marsepein’. And in the whole month of December (maybe even during the winter in general) we love some ‘banketstaaf’ and the best is it when you put it in the oven for a few minutes.
Hier in Noord-Holland boven Alkmaar heb ik dit nooit gehoord met mijn 29 jaar.
@@sutreB wat niet?
@@skippynoah borstplaat.
@@sutreB google is your friend…. Ik ben inderdaad wat ouder (56) en ik noemde het al old fashioned maar daarom niet minder lekker. Makkelijk zelf te maken ook.
Oliebollen...heerlijk! 😋
Roomboter Staaf is a must try miss that
Yup if you say harvest quickly you’re close to herfst 😊 a lot of Dutch come from English.
For Christmas you should definitely try “banketletter” that’s an old Christmas treat.
And when living in Rotterdam try de “Kruidbroodjes” by Bakker Klootwijk just before Christmas. Slice it open and add some good butter and/or fine sugar. They are a kind of pink by the herb that goes in (rommelkruid). It’s more a Rotterdam thing. I can’t by them where I live. Or bakers haven’t even heard of it!
We really need to make a trip by then! 😊
A lot of English comes from Dutch
If you see old English you know it is Dutch not the other way around
The language most closely related to old English supposedly is Frisian
I know them as " Kerst timpen". Have not eaten them since I moved " Down Under" 35 years ago but still remember the taste though.
@M&A Postma. I remember kersttimpen as krentenbollen but then long ones with sucade in it.
Kruidbroodjes are the pink ones, no raisins in there just the sucade.
Oliebollen are maybe the best item besides stroopwafels!!! Love them!
Oliebollen are my favorite!!! Every year I make them myself and while baking them, I start eating. And one by one my sons "happen to come in the kitchen". End of the story"by the time I baked the last ones, we all are full and slightly nauseous due to an Oliebollen overdose. - only to start the next morning with the few that survided the previous evening as breakfast.
Yeah, I now know what I'm going to make this weekend!!!! HMMMMMM!!!
I'm happy for both of you to like The Netherlands as I'm happy to left 15 years ago out of the country where I was born and grew up. It was 15 years ago already not my Netherlands anymore. I came back 4 years ago to visit my family but was happy I could leave again. So for me not anymore going back to The Netherlands.
Oooh yes! You know you're really immersed in Dutch culture when you go nuts over oliebollen. Been living here all my life and still get all giddy when the first stands pop up
Oh,man... Eric don't mess with Tammy's birds!🤣😂
😂
The American traditional honey glaced donut is actually based on the oliekoek (that's what they called an oliebol back then) from when the Dutch had their colony in modern day Manhattan.
In south-afrika they still use the name oliekoek
Have you ever explored the old Kralingen neighbourhood? I've lived here for 7 years and can show you some beautiful 18/19th century architecture and hidden gems.
Speculaasbrokken,banketstaaf warm this one up,chocoladeletters,warme chocolademelk met slagroom
I think it's a good idea to bake them yourselves and make a video about it😁 when I was young my father baked them for a local charity. Our garage was turned into a semiprofessional oliebollenbakery where around 6000 oliebollen were steaming hot cooling down on improvised tables made of chickenfence and kitchenpaper. Same with pepernoten en vegter's rollen (thin waffles rolled up like toiletpaper rolls and then filled with whipped cream. Wonderful time back then and really cozy/social
Oh, boy! That’s a lot of oliebollen😮😊
When Sinterklaas arrives we eat “snert” aka “erwtensoep” aka pea-soup. But the military grade version. The one you can cut with a knife when it is cold. And put some “rookworst” (from HEMA) in it.
Winter is coming!
👋 Oliebollen with powdered sugar are one of my childhood faves, especially on New Years Eve! Haven't had them in years 😭
Glad you like them. My favorite holiday treat is “gevuld speculaas”. And zo’ an awkward one but I prefer the cheap one from the supermarket (the 80 cent ones). Also love pepernoten from the brand “bolletje”.
They normally let the dough rise, mix with beer...thats why the taste is a bit sweet...and gives more flavor to the oliebollen.. success with your video's.. love it!
Thank you, Edwin😊💕
Oh man, some friends are emigrating from the UK to NL around this time and I think they're just in time for the oliebollen season, what great timing, huh!
such a simple thing, but we enjoy it very much
Great Vlog about oliebollen 😊👍typical for this season are: pepernoten, kruidnoten, marsepein, suikerbeesten (suger beasts 😂), chocolade letters, schuimpjes, taai taai, kruidkoek, ...😊
I make applebeignets and oliebollen myself. It's so good !!!
Your Dutch is pretty good already and you also pronounce many words very well. Keep it up Tammy I would say 👍
Lekker oliebollen, dus zometeen pepernoten en chocolade letters ? Heel lekker ! Maybe try the kerststaaf too and the kerstkransjes hehe so yummy 😋
My granny baked buckets of the stuff during her life. She made them always with currants and raisins. She also made appelbeignets and ananasbeignets (pineapple) . She was the best of Rotterdam in her days....
My granny too, wasteilen vol, letterlijk
Ooohhh I love oliebollen as well sooooo much 😋😋You can wake me up in the middle of the night for oliebollen! And I found an oliebollenkraam in the East of the country in Winterswijk who bakes them the WHOLE YEAR 🎉🎉every Saturday on the market (until 16 hours in the winter, 17 hours summertime) I just drive 45 minutes to get some crispy warm oliebollen and I miss them whenever I am abroad! I cannot wait to eat the warm oliebollen until I am home after 45 min. so I eat the rest of the oliebollen in my car and I bring some wet clothes with me to wipe off the powdered sugar 😁By the way where is this oliebollenkraam in your video? But I also love the Dutch patat with mayonaise and frikandel speciaal 😋😁en bitterballen
I love Tammy's Nee Nee Nee lol greetings from a Belgian fan :-)
Thank you so much for watching…
Eric
I have been making my own Oliebollen from my mother's recipe for the past 30 years for New Year celebrations. Good treat.
You should try "kikkers en muizen". It's a Sinterklaas treat. Little chocolate covered very sugary filled treats. And 'gevulde speculaas'. Boy, that brings back memories of 'sinterklaasavond'. Thirty-something years ago.
Oooh, I forgot about those!frogs and mice!
Dear Tammy, maybe Eric would try Grolsch Kanon for a drink en you can try eating boiled potatatoes with boild broccoli with chredded young cheese and tomato parts on it the same you can do with green beans.
In wintertime drink hot chocolate from Nutricia with creme (in the yellow cup) and eat a pancake in a " pannenkoeken boerderij" with raisins or bacon😋.
Great video again (thanks!) and I understand you love oliebollen that much. Rum raisin is also a favourite of mine but often not as fresh as the regular ones (with or without currents) because they are less bought so less times baked.
Sinterklaas favourites are Amandelstaaf, Speculaasstaaf en Marsepeinen aardappeltjes (marzipan potatoes). All Dutch words from you guys inbetween sounds great and so nice to hear you are learning the language 😍
Fun fact about oliebollen; when New York was still New Amsterdam a Dutch man introduced oliebollen in the United States. There they took over the recipe and made little changes such as a hole in the middle. That was the beginning of the donuts 😃
Looking already forward for your new video ❤
I always make my own from a recipe my grandfather got from his neighbour who was a pastry chef and baker. I can tell you that there is absolutely not a single oliebol in the Netherlands today that rivals my oliebollen based on that recipe and some baking tricks. In fact I stopped trying olieballen from these places as you have shown because the oliebollen are relatively tasteless and extremely greasy.
I taught the recipe and how to make it to my former girlfriend in England and she cooked them at her grandparents' place during Christmas, and they were blown away by the taste dispite the name being "oilballs" when translated. They expected a grease bomb but didn't get any. 😊
that gebakskraam has won prices alot of times that why the huge row there ^^
7:30 Boerenjongens ... Haha, you're getting the taste of the country?
En bedankt hè, nou heb ik zin in oliebollen! 😡😉❣️🙋♂️
But hey, you should try pepernoten and kruidnoten, zuurstok, gevulde speculaas, fondant, bisschopswijn, amandelstaaf... Enjoy!🙋♂️
(Each supermarket will have special stands for all these sweets an treats when the right season is there. )
Richard Visser, has won for a few years in a row, the best oliebol competition of AD newspaper he has really great stuff
As far as I'm concerned (being born and raised in Leiden) the holiday season starts at the 3rd of October, when we celebrate the liberation of our city from the Spanish siege in 1574, eating hutspot, haring & wittebrood. Just check out the channel of 'T And T Go Dutch' to find out about this historical festival, and the traditional dishes that go with it. And yes: there's oliebollen too! 😋
Hello Robert! We did watch @T And T Go Dutch’s vlog on Leiden Ontzet! It was another great video from them😊
This is WHY we Dutch have new years resolutions. Most of the time going to the sports centra and/or losing weight. Because we know that if autumn begins, losing weight basically becomes impossible. You have so much "lekker" voedsel. The weather changes rapidly in all kinds of. And you're so busy with everything (like the holidays). So, to start the new years, we start with new years resolutions. But for now we can enjoy the good things in life. And there are a lot of them in my country.
Thanks. I'm hungry now. Ik baked them myself for years. With raisins. That are the best ones. You can also buy them at a 'kermis'.
Hiiii guys.i had a operation on my hand.i,m home now so i will watch all the vlogs i mist 😊♥️
Hi Nora! Hope your hand is healing well😊
Sinterklaas: speculaasbrokken, pepernoten, borstplaat, strooigoed, speculaasjes, taaitaai(buy them from a banketbakery, NOT a supermarket)
Christmas: kerststol, banketstaaf and for your Christmas diner go really Dutch; gourmetten (go to meal for families with children)
New Year’s eve: kniepertjes (flat wafers in the evening, rolled up and filled with whipped cream on Jan 1st) old year has been rolled out, new year is still full of promises
There are Christmas markets everywhere, but the best are in Germany. Cologne is famous, but everybody is going there (actually there are several markets, each with its own theme and vibe). Great foods and drinks, that go way beyond bratwurst and glühwein. Easy to reach by (high speed) train. And of course, to affirm your good intentions, on January 1 you will take a new year's dive in the North Sea at Scheveningen.
Hi Albert! We love the German Christmas Markets too! Our favorite (so far) is Munich’s - we will be going back for theirs next month and cannot wait!!
Yessss the best oliebollen in Rotterdam! Soft inside, crunchy on the outside, fresh and warm🥰 I always get them at that ‘kraam’! Stuck at home with covid right now but definitely gonna get them next week🎉 love from Rotterdam (Roffa) West
Always eat the Oliebollen fresh and warm. also try the appelbeignets, i love those. And once a year i also eat appelbollen.
"Liever te dik in mijn kist dan een feestje gemist " ;) love this season...dieting comes in January! Have a nice weekend! Xx
De oliebol really is Dutch
heritage (actually netherlandish as it derives from the middle-ages in both Belgium and The Netherlands...
Oh dear, a very nostalgic time of the season is coming for me. The fall. Indeed de ‘herfst’ Tammy ! Appel flappen (apple fritters) are a favorite.
I never had rum raisin olie bollen. That must be a new creation. Pretty soon those dishes of the winter season, like erwten soep and sauerkraut and stamppot ! Not a good time to loose a few pounds people ! I am looking forward to see you eat ! Love from Monterey 💕🌷
As far as treats for the holidays go...I love gevulde speculaas...yum!
Also Berliner Bol filled with jam.
Sugar coated nuts (still warm!).
And yes...the Oliebol...
...and I almost forgot...
The German cookies called "Printen" (it's like a gingerbread, but with more spices)
The ones coated with dark chocolate are my favorite.
Hoi,
WoW they look great, I've put a few lbs on watching lol, I've become quite parsh to the Chocolate Doughnuts 🍩 that found me in my local shop 🙂
The Algemeen Dagblad (AD, a daily national newspaper) has an annual National 'oliebollen-test' and it is taken very serious. Oliebollenkramen and bakers that score high have guaranteed long lines of customers...
AD had the test, but stopped because of a lot of controversy….
@@janjanssen9629 Ah, that I didn't know. But I can see the reasoning behind it, thanks...
My favorite thing to eat. But i am picky. I don't just like any oliebol. My dad made the best. After his passing, this December, 22 years ago. I went on a search. Backed it myself, but it Just wasn't it. 3 years ago i found the best one here in Enschede.
I do make the appelflappen, that was my grandma's favorite. ❤️.
Always welcome to Come and taste it. 😉
Tot ziens...
Saint Martin (11/11) is one of those special days for kids. It's like trick or treat but the groups of kids have paper lanterns and sing songs for you to earn the candy/piece of fruit/cookie. Sadly it's pretty much extinct in the bigger cities and crowded out by Halloween these days.
Herfst = harvest = autumn
In the summertime you must eat the most populair ice om a stick in the Netherlands. A rocket waterice, from Ola, on a stick. In Dutch: " in de zomer moeten jullie het meest populaire waterijsje in Nederland proeven. Een "raketje" de originele van Ola. 😋
That firework was perfect for this video :)
Try banketspijs! Buy it at Albert Heijn or Hema somewhere around Sinterklaas and they'll have it in all shapes and sizes. Cut a piece roughly 2,5 inches and heat it up in the microwave for about twenty seconds. Watch out: HOT!
Oliebollen used to be poor food. You made it to celebrate the new year with what was left in the pantry.
I had my first one this year today! The one with the pudding. 😁
Back in 1986 'we' (De Lelystad Lizzards) just finnished our 1st. Season of American football, we were noobs. Then in the summer hollyday/break our man.staf got a phonecall, it was the coach of the Kenyon (Ohio) college 'Lords' A.F.Team with a request. They were planning a EU tour and wanted to play ball, but no other Dutch A.F.C wanted to they called us as they're last hope in NL. Long story a little longer, we needed to scramble our team together, some were on hollyday but came back early. We met them on our field, they shared all they could in the 7 they were here. Well yes we got our heavy defeat, but we got 6 points on the board. They wanted to see Amsterdam, yes we showed them the Redlight district, except the Coaching staff and a guy who went to a dimond store to buy an engagemond ring. And on the Damsquare was an Olijbollen kraam, we bought them Oliebollen. They loved it and bought tons of em, man is fast eating normall? They ate fasttttttttt! Anywho, Oliebollen dangerously jummy😁
Erwtensoep with worst ( winter food ), Peper noten ( Sinterklaas time),Surinaamse Roti ( anytime), Broodje Halfom(for the meat lovers),Vla( at the supermarked, all kinds flavours,desert)& sooooo much more jumjums🎂🎂
That’s a great story, Peter, thank you for sharing!😊
Oliebollen are the traditional food at oud en nieuw (31st dec / 1 jan )
I like the with raisins the most, they are better than the plain ones.
Great video again! The Netherlands has typical and very traditional delicatessen. And as you like to travel > visit the City of Groningen in the North! A great city and for sure you'll love it!
Prepare yourself for old years eve ;-) The firework in the Netherlands is crazy. And then we eat the oliebollen :-) The ones with raisins are the best.
just stay in Rotterdam, because here in the south-east of Brabant (and Limburg) those oliebollenkramen are ALL YEAR AROUND
I LOVE oliebollen :) and the time of the year they are in :D
I also love fireworks. Tonight (22-10) there is a show at Schiehavenkade in Rotterdam!
"Damn Oliebollen season"! 😅🤣
I know what Eric would like in his shoe for sinterklaas. Four cartons of chocomel, spelling out his name. (Funny twist to the normal chocolade letters, they do every year) And i'll bet hé wished hé had a longer name. 😂
Lol!😂
Definitely bad time of the year for good intentions weight-wise. I do incorporate a fasting day sometimes after having gorged….works quite well.! Enjoyed your content. Happy holiday season!👍🌷
Very nice one again. Did you notice whether it was a backfire or fireworks you did not drop to the ground because you knew it was not gunfire. Your stress levels have been reduces by so much already. Long time ago I worked as a quality controller in a factory that produced oliebollen and that was a long list to check each time. This quality control in these stand is usually the same. You get a good fresh product.
