    After finally making our way over to mainland Europe, we embarked on our road trip down to Switzerland! Our first stop on the trip was the Netherlands. A beautiful country that holds a special place in our hearts, as this is where Adriana spent many years as a child. Our exploration begins in Den Haag, a wonderful city filled with great food, followed by an interesting overnight stay (it turns out the Netherlands doesn’t really LOVE the idea of campervans parking around the place) 👀 We also make a visit to the calm and beautiful university city of Leiden to, you guessed it, have some sweet treats and also visit Adriana’s old house… what an emotional and beautiful way to start our trip!

    I’ve lived my entire life in Den Haag and I can assure you weren’t the only one mistaking the bus lane at Plein 1813 for the normal road haha.
    Glad to see someone who’s not just visiting Amsterdam for once. Not that I have anything against the city, but the Netherlands is so much more than just Amsterdam.

    @PickupthePieces76 7 месяцев назад +16

    Let's nitpick. For chocolate hagelslag you gotta go with the Venz brand. For the rest de Ruijter is fine. Also, I agree that the best way is to have hagelslag is on fresh (non-toasted) bread, but the bread you bought was meant to be toasted, it says so on the packaging. Even though you can eat that bread without toasting it just fine, it would be subpar compared to what else is available. The Netherlands has so much good bread, easily accessible in supermarket, but for this special occasion a trip the bakery was warranted. If you bought some non-sliced fresh white bread and spread the butter and Venz hagelslag on it, it would have been really heavenly.

    • @2Passports1Dream
      @2Passports1Dream  7 месяцев назад +2

      Oh yessssss! It sounds impossible to make it more delicious but even better bread - I can imagine 👀😍

    I’m from the USA. When I was a young girl I had a friend from Denmark named Kostin. He let me wear his wooden shoes around AND I remember once when I ate lunch at his house I was served soup and a chocolate sandwich. In between 2 slices of bread was a rather soft, thin square piece of chocolate. Like as if it was a slice of cheese. To me that memory is still strong and that was 60+ years ago. Yeah, memories can be so moving. Thank you for sharing. It is so nice!

    That was nice. I grew up there, I will always have a soft spot for Leiden and I want to go back when I am older. It used to be a major European city centuries ago and the world just forgot about it. It was still very poor up to the 1980's but now it's booming again. We were lucky to grow up in a place like that.

When our spanish friends visit us they always want to eat that as well. Also nice to see that you are visiting other cities than Amsterdam. There are so many cities much more genuine than Amsterdam! Enjoy your roadtrip through main land Europe!

    As you may know, the Netherlands is split south/north over the naming of French fries. In the south they are called "friet" and in the north "patat" but you also read "patat friet" sometimes, although nobody says that. I think The Hague is in "patat" territory.

    Untoasted is definitely the most common way! Tho there's not really a wrong way imo. With untoasted you get the crunch from the hagelslag and the fluffy bread. With toasted (still warm) you get the crunch from the bread and the hagelslag starts to melt so it becomes gooey, which is nice as well 😁 Basically, you can't lose 😉

      You should. It is spelled Hagelslag. I recommend at least trying the pure chocolate and milk chocolate. There are more flavors and even very sweet sugary ones but I would stick to the two basic chocolate ones to start. If you eat it once in a while then that’s fine, I don’t think anyone here really eats it daily

    After pindasaus you got to try patatje oorlog. And if that typical bread goes stale: try wentelteefjes or lost bread / pain perdu. Also a great weekend starter. I used to buy casinobrood though for tosti or pindakaas / hagelslag. Nowadays it will be whole grain / volkorenbrood. One with hagelslag/pindakaas, one with cheese/jelly. Can't get more Dutch

    What a lovely couple the two of you are.
    What a nice trip you are doing.
    This was a sentimental journey to Leiden, but first Den Haag.
    Coincidentally I was in Den Haag for a party in Het Paard, a well known venue.
    I studied in Leiden for a short while, my Godson was born there, but I haven't been there to wander. I know some spots like the university, obviously, as well as the Museum voor Land en Volkenkunde (Museum of Land and Ethnology).
    My hometown is Rotterdam.
    Peanut butter and chocolate sprinkles is indeed what I grew up with. Try it with „ontbijtkoek" (translated as gingerbread, but that's not completely accurate, as many don't have ginger in it) which is what I still eat.
    Enjoy the trip🌸

But also, if you are from Sweden, that also helps. I feel close to the Nordic countries, in terms of spirit and values. Much like brothers, in a way. Love your video and you both are very lovely people. I hope you will have a beautiful trip and make many meaningful, joyful and positive memories! :)

    Very nice video. Happy journey on your way to Switzerland. Just in case no one has mentioned it, the pindasaus on frites was sort of a happy accident/invention after the Dutch Indonesians began emigrating to the Netherlands in the 50s and 60s. It is actually sate sauce, sans the chilli pepper sambal, that is usually put on Indonesian kebab. And yes it is pretty much a Dutch thing.

    Loving this video....Adriana love the look you get with each childhood memory you were having. And your breakfast with the sprinkles you will fit in if you come to Australia ...here we have "fairy bread" . normally for children's parties (but adults like it too ) it is bread, butter and hundreds and thousands (the little round candy sprinkles they put on cookies and cakes. Some will argue and say you should use sprinkles instead. (personal preference) but the sprinkles aren't as hard.

      Tekst van de overheid:

      Verblijft u in een periode van een jaar meer dan 8 maanden buiten Nederland? Dan moet u zich altijd uitschrijven bij uw gemeente in Nederland. Wanneer u dit niet doet, kunt u een boete krijgen.
      De 8 maanden hoeven niet aaneengesloten te zijn. Het geldt bijvoorbeeld ook als u binnen een periode van een jaar 2 keer 5 maanden buiten Nederland gaat wonen. *Het maakt daarbij niet uit of u uw huis in Nederland aanhoudt*
      U schrijft zich bijvoorbeeld uit in de volgende situaties:
      U gaat emigreren en u blijft permanent buiten Nederland wonen.
      U gaat meer dan 8 maanden in een jaar buiten Nederland wonen voor werk, studie of stage.
      U verblijft meer dan 8 maanden in een jaar op uw vakantieadres in het buitenland.
      U gaat op (wereld)reis en u brengt meer dan 8 maanden in een jaar in het buitenland door.

    No idea why this came up in my recommendations but was pleasantly surprised when you mentioned Leiden. Brought back so many memories as I was working there in 1990. Unfortunately due to the time since I left & the relatively short time I was there means what you showed in the video didn't have any familiarity. I had a great time there & wanted to stay there for good. My first childs upcomming birth made that impossible along with my girlfriends reluctance to even move out of her road, let alone country 🤣 I often wonder how my life would have been had we moved there.
