@@JohnLewis-old Its actualy not that hard if you just use a good speicale prepaired dough mix (wel its actualy flour then). Well and you need to have mental form for the "taart"and a good stove. But other then that if you have the right apples right herbs and know...... Never mind you are right can somebody make me one to. But honestly it isn't that hard i used to make them when i still had al the right stuff.
Zoervleisj (zuurvlees) is great with fries and you'll find it at pretty much any frituur in Limburg as a topping. Many will have their own home made recipes.
3:48 Yeah, the way you say "Chocomel" is an even better pronunciation than "Goedemorgen". Excellent. 8:10 "Uitsmijter" was also really good. Most people struggle with the "ui".
I love it that you guys clearly know the stuff that you're talking about. You explain the dishes very well and you don't just stick with the more basic stuff. Thanks to this video I finally understand why people who didn't grow up here usually dislike hagelslag haha (and kapsalon is indeed a very deserved S-tier! Kibbeling is a close runner up tho)
@@JaapGinder they’re just not used to the combination of solid chocolate, butter and bread. I can understand why they would think it’s weird even though I love it ofcourse
Don't forget that you live in Dordt "Brokking hazelnut pastry" You only have to shout Brokking in the Drechtsteden and everyone knows what you are talking about: the most famous hazelnut pastry in Dordt. It is a light cake made of hazelnut and whipped cream. With a dollop of whipped cream, a hazelnut and sometimes a chocolate on top.
Oranjekoek has candied orangepeel in it, that explains the name. It originally doesn't have the almond paste in it, and I still ask for it without. And it should have a cream on top, not whipped cream but a denser cream. My pake ( Friesian grandfather ) used to bring it on birthdays. Really tasty
Chocomel just B tier for you? It should be A tier. Your moustache should be brown from drinking that delicious chocolate drink. I would give it A tier since zuurvlees is my absolute S tier. Friet with zuurvlees is superior. ❤❤❤
Every baker has it's own recipe of oranje koek, being Frisian i tasted my fair share of it the difference is in taste and structure is big, not all oranjekoek is to my liking, i personally kie the oranje koet the jumbo sells here, the big pieces not those small square ones.
Drop at F-tier is a crime. Even combining all the flavours as one is disrespectful of the drop culture. Its like saying candy in general is F-tier. You really should make a whole tier list of only drop flavours. Munt drop, honing drop, oldtimers, zoute bommen, etc.
You can also make a,,Vla test" because many kinds vanille,choco, dubbel Vla ,hopjes, caramel,rumrozijnen, kersen,appelcaneel special man,s like Vla .i know a American guy fly every 3 mond to Netherlands for buy Vla.
So where are the stamppot, the zuurkool, boerenkool, hutspot, koolraap, blote billetjes, the nasi, bami, kroket, frikandel, kaas souflé, the hare and the pheasant, the herring, the hachee, the cheeses, griesmeel, stroopwafel, kaneelkussentjes, Bossche bol, the (gevulde) speculaas, kruidnoten/pepernoten, etc. etc.?
Hagelslag in C tier? Are you Communists? 😂 I’m a chocoholic and it doesn’t matter size shape or form… delicious. And they are just sprinkles, but nothing wrong with that! A. Love you guys!!! 💕
You clearly haven't had my moms appeltaart! As for the hagelslag, try it with pindakaas instead of butter! And I'll always take some proper brown bread over plain white.
Now I finally know what "sirflace" is! Let me help you with your pronunciation. You are phonetically saying "zurvlees", but the long "uu" is pronounced like in "fuel", "music" and "cube"
Mussels from the Hema or the AH are fine, often the catch date which is on the label is only 2 days ago and they get slightly less towards the expiration date that is much later. I don't even bother with washing and checking them anymore, straight on top of the hot broth, shake after a 2 minutes and check through the glass lid when they open up. Don't overcook, risk undercooking instead because that is no problem, they are nice raw too. But they usually come in a 2kg box, so that's a lot for one person.
Kibbeling is definitely S-tier for me, although I do understand the struggle between that and Kapsalon. Love the list, I would probably rank most of this the same.
Try the difference. Everything tastes so much better. Buy your vegetables, fruit and meat close to the source and in the season. Grocery "food" is convenient, but not real food.
Well, I am really proud on my Frisian/Northern heritage, and love living here, but never liked oranjekoek. So I agree with c tier haha. But you allready couldn't go wrong because of your agreeable rating for suikerbrood and snert (and Alex his rating for herring and mussels and Michelles rating for kibbeling ).
Jullie moeten een keertje gestampte muisjes proberen. Een broodbeleg dat echt alleen in Nederland wordt verkocht. Het smaakt naar anijspoeder maar dan voor op brood.
Goodmorning Michelle&Alex...To cook or steam mosselen is pretty simple, go to AH and you only need 2 kg mosselen for a person a cheap Pinot wine some pre cut soep vegetables. 1 inch wine in a cooking pan throw in the veggie's and that's it. Done in 15 minutes.Have a nice day. 😎
The ones that do not open are bad and give them a good rinse with freshwater before. Instead of wine a dark beer is also a great option. While cooking give the pan a good shake once a few minutes.
I recently discovred this channel and I really like your vids, as a dutchie myself I like to see foreigners/ people from the States visit/ living in the Netherlands and try out all different dutch foods :) Also the pronunciations of the dutch words/ food is pretty good to be honest (sure some things are harder to pronounce than others) but entertainig to hear haha :)
Chocolademelk, the second time you said was actually really good. It's literally just milk (any) + melted chocolate (any) + sugar (a lot). Combining different types of milk and chocolate changes the flavor a lot. And the best chocolademelk is the chocolademelk you make yourself. It's actually really easy to make as well.
@@spoonwinnipeg2021 Respectfully, I will disagree. The best chocolate milk I ever had was at a chalet high up in the Italian Alps, they melted the chocolate in hot milk right in front of me, it was so good. Also, Dutch cocoa doesnt exist, it doesnt grow here :D
@@TheSuperappelflap Dutch cocoa, also known as dutch processed cocoa, is treated with an alkaline substance to reduce acidity and bitterness.. This method was invented in the early 1800ths by J.C. van Houten in the Netherlands, and gives it a darker colour and a distinct flavour.
11:00 I liked you guys until this part. I thought you loved us :( Zuurvlees compensates a little bit for it though. And kapsalon. And saucijzenbroodje. And worstenbroodje. Huh why am I hungry all of a sudden, I just ate.
Okay.. imo.. some of this stuff really depends on how it's made.. however.. the regular brand Chocomel: C.. there's better chocolate milk out there.. worstenbroodje, B at best, definitely compared with a saucijzenbroodje I'd rate it C.. The hagelslag? Get some beschuit with some good butter and the higher cocoa hagelslag (same brand, but 60% cocoa (purple)), and just add a tiny amount of salt.. that's S tier for me!
Nothing wrong much with the end list. But, like you said yourself already, it all very much depends on where you buy it. Like appeltaart : always fresh, *never* prepacked from the supermarket. As for saucijzenbroodje and gevulde koek : De Bijenkorf. Hands down S-tier.
As a Limburg Dutchie, I understand the S Tier for Zoervleis (local dialect) It is really, really tasty. Also ----> your tier rating is pretty on par with mine. Some things are sooo delicious. Some... meh. BUTTTT Drop as F tier?!! The blasphemy is uncanny XD
Zeeuwse bolussen should be higher!! Depending on the part of Zeeland you are, bolussen taste differently. You tried the ones from Walcheren, which aren't half as good as the ones from Schouwen-Duiveland. If you visit Shouwen-Duiveland, you have to try the bolussen from bakery Bouman in a small village called Oosterland. They have the best bolussen in Zeeland. Close 2nd is from bakery Ten Hove in the nearby village of Nieuwerkerk. Speaking of Schouwen-Duiveland, you have to visit the town of Zierikzee, my hometown. It has a lot of historic buildings and if you're into that it's a nice place to spend a day. And it has a lot of nice restaurants.
i live here for 34 years never been to all 12 provinces in my life lol. never been to zeeland never been to Limburg. i guess those are the only 2 provinces i have never visit. well no when i was young i went with my parents to the de Vaalse berg forgot about that. but alone? no never i was 12 or 13 or so back then. maybe younger. but i have 100% never been to Zeeland. and all the other provinces i have visit i have not seen much. only been to leeuwarden in Friesland Arnhem in Gelderland and some big cities in the west of the netherlands. never explored the country on my own. but thats what you get if public transport is too expensive not going to pay 60 euros for a retour ticket from my home town to rotterdam for example. i am not made of money
“Tokkelroom" is really different from "Advocaat". Tokkelroom contains a maximum of 8% alcohol and Advocaat 12%. Tokkelroom is originally a regional product from the last century and named after "Tokkel" (Remco Imker) who, before his wandering life in Assen, was known as a guitarist in the rockband "Herman Brood and his Wild Romance". "Tokkelen" refers to the sound of practicing his guitar from an early age. Tokkel sometimes performed with Jimi Hendrix.
You definitely had the wrong Oranjekoek, otherwise it would have ranked A or S. If you go to Friesland again, get them from bakkerij Popma in Blauwhuis.
Your content is very engaging and fun to watch! This is my second day of a total of 5 in the Netherlands and my boyfriend and I have been using your videos to help us plan for each city we visit. We are staying in Den Haag amd taking day trips. Today was Delft, tomorrow is Utrecht, and Monday is Amsterdam. While in Delft we ate at 't Postkantoor and also got ice cream at Luciano! Both were great. We will hit up Brodje Ben tomorrow because Mario doesn't work on Sun or Mon lol. Thank you so much for the great vlogs!
Zuurvlees isn't difficult to make, it just takes a while. Just google a recipe and try it. It takes more patience than effort. It's important to get the right beef though. We get it at an Islamic butchery. Way better than supermarket beef. It's just one version of beef that we eat in The Netherlands, from one region. The more generic version is 'draadjesvlees'. There is also a strong influence from Indonesia intertwined in Dutch food culture. That's why 'rendang' is also very popular. Personally, I prefer rendang. I come from a long line of very white Dutch people, but I'll pick rendang with rice over draadjesvlees met aardappelen, any day.
Try the puur hagelslag and rate it again lol. It should be A tier at a minimum if you love chocolate. The one you showed was the weakened version with milk and it's definitly worse
Did you try the hagelslag ROYAAL from de ruijter? The chocolate flavor is much more rich than the normal variant. Try this on a fresh baked white ovenbroodje, with roomboter. If the bread is still warm, the chocolate will melt a bit and makes it sooooo yummy. I havent seen you react to vlokken, am I right? If you do, you should try the royaal version too 😊. Also may be try the old peanut butter and hagelslag combination. My brother's would eat this all the time when we were kids
Dutch apple pie in the US is a bit of a misnomer, because of its relation to the Pennsylvania Dutch who are German Mennonites, so it's more grounded in German cuisine than Dutch. ps. It's a tricky subject because if you put things in historical context of the 1600s and 1700s in the United States the term Dutch was also colloquially used for people from what is now the Netherlands and Germany.
"Hagelslag" is not what you say in your video. "Hagelslag" is the name for a range of sugery "sprinkles." The most common "hagelslag" is the chocolate version. There are several versions, like milk chocolate, dark chocolate, and white chocolate. There is also a flake version, commonly called "vlokken." Next are the more sugary versions. There is a mix of different coloured sprikles, usually with a (vague) fruity taste. There is a white version with an anise taste. All in all, there are some 20 different types of "hagelslag." There will usually be a sort of taste that suits you. You had "hagelslag" on a sandwich with butter or margarine on it. You can also put on a "beschuit," on a cracker, on cake, or on ice cream. It can be used for a huge variety of sweet-tasting "foods." These are not necessarily good for you, but they taste so good. 😋
Factory vlaai over factory appeltaart, but home made appeltaart over factory vlaai, never had a fresh made flaai though XD also all the 4 S-tiers, I'm like thats barelly eatable XD And Drop is, like hagelslag (specificly of the Vlokken persuasion) are like almost on top for me. Would find it hard to put pastries and snacks and dinner on the same scale, guess grouping it as Dutch food for you guys works, as to me they seem as different sorts of food :)
Worth noting is the difference between appeltaart and appelkruimeltaart. They are both pies of which apple is the dominant ingredient, but they are quite different in presentation and experience. I'm not entirely sure what Americans think 'dutch apple pie' is, but I wouldn't be surprised if this is where some of the disconnect comes from.
Ha, I can be The Dutch guy to advise something so Dutch, that every Dutch person knows, but apparently not many know (checked the comments) that it is a real Dutch invention. Kokosbrood is a real Dutch invention to eat on bread, for the next video :P
Young Gouda cheese is The. Best. Thing. Ever. And it is better still if it's at room temperature and just starting to get sweaty. Eat it on a lightly buttered hard white roll (kaiser or baguette, say). Divine!
Nothing wrong with that "Sjoo-koo-mel" pronunciation. You should just let those people laugh, you guys doing better and better in speaking Dutch. I like to hear those people their "steenkolen Engels" and then let's see who has the last laugh lol...
Of course you choose Vlaai over Appeltaart! 🤷♂️😁 But i think you haven't had the Appelkruimelvlaai yet?! 😱 It's the best of both world and my personal favorite, together with the Aardbeienvlaai met bladerdeeg bodem. 🍓👌🏼😋 And instant of just a Uitsmijter, you should try a 12 Uurtje for lunch! 👍🏻✌🏼
You dont just eat advocaat on ice cream! Its delicious on a pancake with some chocolate sprinkles and ice cream and some fruit, for dessert, after you eat pancakes for dinner. Hmmmm pancakes.
A nice variation on Advokaat, you can get by Albert Hein! It’s called “Tokkelroom” after the sound a chicken makes. Tokkelroom tastes milder than Advokaat. 😍
Next time: Amandelstaaf, Boerenkool met worst, patatje oorlog, saté met satésaus. And lastly you go eat a degustation menu at Fred , Boompjes 41, Rotterdam . You'll have to book in advance though.
Kapsalon!!!! I have had those quite a few times when I still lived in the Netherlands in 2010! The best! And they have enough calories to last you the entire day! By the way, I am so very jealous of your metabolisms.
Advocaat is great as a sauce on ice cream or yogurt, etc. Add some Hagelslag to it. Nobody says it needs to go on bread. The bolus is super with salted butter on it!
Do you know where you should visit wageningen that is in gelderland but there is a place here that has on amazing broodje warm vlees you should come and try I won't mind bringing you there let me know because it will be worth it also a lot of history here as well that you would love to learn about also got my own youtube channel
SJ= Shhhhhhh The double OO = OOOWWW K= hard KK again double OO (so: OOW) , but a bit more LESS longer than the first double OO. Important! M= hard MMM E= EHHH LL= hard LL
DONT, plz DONT making people fun of you.. because you're pronouncing it 'wrong' Because it isn't!! It is you, who are trying to integrate! You're learning, so... WTF!! At least, you're trying. Which is MORE than any (F*CKN oblivious) tourist one can say.
My very first experience with alcohol was when my Opa & his brothers were sitting around drinking after a long day on the farm and my Oom Piet filled a shot glass with cream and the tiniest end of a spoon of advocaat. I was six. Hated it. Still do. *Show'-ko-mel - also how dare you not put the greatest chocolate drink on the planet in anything else than top tier. It should have its own tier above all else. :D
Chocomel just B tier for you? It should be A tier. Your moustache should be brown from drinking that delicious chocolate drink. I would give it A tier since zuurvlees is my absolute S tier. Friet with zuurvlees is superior. ❤❤❤
Really? The moustache made me believe so. Hahahaha, no I'm just joking. No man in his 50's would be able to handle such a young and lively woman as Michelle is.
I'm wondering what American food we as Dutchies would find appealing when we'd live in the US? Foods we don't already sort of have over here, maybe famous regional dishes?
Have you ever tried Barneveldse Haantje pik? I never heard of Zeeuwse bolussen before but it looks just like that. 😅 I wonder if it tastes different. It’s very famous in and around Barneveld.
I ordered oranjekoeken in Leeuwarden at a cute little shop museum. I was so disappointed in it! I thought I was getting orange cookies. It was so dry and meh.
someone in another comment said the “oranje” is for the orange peel that’s typically on top, but it’s interesting to note that oranje in dutch is the color orange and sinaasappel is the fruit it got us too, we didn’t think about that until like a day later 😂
Putting drop in F tier is a valid reason to kick people out of the country ;) Jokes aside, definitely enjoyed the video. It's fun to see your perspective on some foods that are so common to us.
Drop is definitely an acquired taste, but of course we Dutchies acquire that taste before we can walk. It's sooo addictive. I shouldn't really eat it any more because I'm old and I need to watch my blood pressure, but I still love all the salty ones. 😊

Pro tip: Bake the Appeltaart yourself and eat it while it is still warm.
Can I get this made by someone else, I can't bake... but it sounds amazing.
@@JohnLewis-old Its actualy not that hard if you just use a good speicale prepaired dough mix (wel its actualy flour then). Well and you need to have mental form for the "taart"and a good stove.

Totally don't agree. Appeltaart is best the next day when all dough is infused with the apple fluids.
Yes, with a scoop of icecream. And "slagroom".😊
@@JohnLewis-oldhmmm depends were it needs to go to, im a cook made 1000s...and willing for a good cause
Good you put saucijzenbroodjes and worstenbroodjes in the same tier. Almost started a civil war between the South and the North there.

3:48 Yeah, the way you say "Chocomel" is an even better pronunciation than "Goedemorgen". Excellent.
8:10 "Uitsmijter" was also really good. Most people struggle with the "ui".

Tokkelroom is originally a regional product from the last century and named after "Tokkel" (Remco Imker) who, before his wandering life in Assen, was known as a guitarist in the rockband "Herman Brood and his Wild Romance". "Tokkelen" refers to the sound of practicing his guitar from an early age. Tokkel sometimes performed with Jimi Hendrix.
You definitely had the wrong Oranjekoek, otherwise it would have ranked A or S. If you go to Friesland again, get them from bakkerij Popma in Blauwhuis.
Your content is very engaging and fun to watch! This is my second day of a total of 5 in the Netherlands and my boyfriend and I have been using your videos to help us plan for each city we visit. We are staying in Den Haag amd taking day trips. Today was Delft, tomorrow is Utrecht, and Monday is Amsterdam. While in Delft we ate at 't Postkantoor and also got ice cream at Luciano! Both were great. We will hit up Brodje Ben tomorrow because Mario doesn't work on Sun or Mon lol. Thank you so much for the great vlogs!
The best sausage roll I ever had was at Harrods in London.
Puts saucijzenbroodjes to shame...
Zuurvlees isn't difficult to make, it just takes a while. Just google a recipe and try it. It takes more patience than effort.
It's important to get the right beef though. We get it at an Islamic butchery. Way better than supermarket beef.
It's just one version of beef that we eat in The Netherlands, from one region. The more generic version is 'draadjesvlees'.
There is also a strong influence from Indonesia intertwined in Dutch food culture. That's why 'rendang' is also very popular.
Personally, I prefer rendang. I come from a long line of very white Dutch people, but I'll pick rendang with rice over draadjesvlees met aardappelen, any day.
the oranje koek needs to be bakked from a friesan bakker there is not one in Harlingen for sure the original oranje koek is mutsch better
we’re going to give it another shot in a couple of months
Try the puur hagelslag and rate it again lol. It should be A tier at a minimum if you love chocolate. The one you showed was the weakened version with milk and it's definitly worse
Did you try the hagelslag ROYAAL from de ruijter? The chocolate flavor is much more rich than the normal variant. Try this on a fresh baked white ovenbroodje, with roomboter. If the bread is still warm, the chocolate will melt a bit and makes it sooooo yummy. I havent seen you react to vlokken, am I right? If you do, you should try the royaal version too 😊.
Also may be try the old peanut butter and hagelslag combination. My brother's would eat this all the time when we were kids
Dutch apple pie in the US is a bit of a misnomer, because of its relation to the Pennsylvania Dutch who are German Mennonites, so it's more grounded in German cuisine than Dutch.
ps. It's a tricky subject because if you put things in historical context of the 1600s and 1700s in the United States the term Dutch was also colloquially used for people from what is now the Netherlands and Germany.
"Hagelslag" is not what you say in your video.
"Hagelslag" is the name for a range of sugery "sprinkles." The most common "hagelslag" is the chocolate version. There are several versions, like milk chocolate, dark chocolate, and white chocolate. There is also a flake version, commonly called "vlokken."
Next are the more sugary versions. There is a mix of different coloured sprikles, usually with a (vague) fruity taste. There is a white version with an anise taste.
All in all, there are some 20 different types of "hagelslag." There will usually be a sort of taste that suits you.
You had "hagelslag" on a sandwich with butter or margarine on it. You can also put on a "beschuit," on a cracker, on cake, or on ice cream. It can be used for a huge variety of sweet-tasting "foods." These are not necessarily good for you, but they taste so good. 😋
Factory vlaai over factory appeltaart, but home made appeltaart over factory vlaai, never had a fresh made flaai though XD
also all the 4 S-tiers, I'm like thats barelly eatable XD And Drop is, like hagelslag (specificly of the Vlokken persuasion) are like almost on top for me. Would find it hard to put pastries and snacks and dinner on the same scale, guess grouping it as Dutch food for you guys works, as to me they seem as different sorts of food :)
Worth noting is the difference between appeltaart and appelkruimeltaart. They are both pies of which apple is the dominant ingredient, but they are quite different in presentation and experience. I'm not entirely sure what Americans think 'dutch apple pie' is, but I wouldn't be surprised if this is where some of the disconnect comes from.
If you both liked the uitsmijter, you should try "boeren omelet" when you see it!! Very delicious!!
Ha, I can be The Dutch guy to advise something so Dutch, that every Dutch person knows, but apparently not many know (checked the comments) that it is a real Dutch invention. Kokosbrood is a real Dutch invention to eat on bread, for the next video :P
Young Gouda cheese is The. Best. Thing. Ever. And it is better still if it's at room temperature and just starting to get sweaty. Eat it on a lightly buttered hard white roll (kaiser or baguette, say). Divine!
I also prefer worstenbroodjes over saucijzenbroodjes because they're less greasy
You should try babi pangang! It’s a Chinese meal invented by the Dutch!
Just keep your english vowels, and do not pronounce the end 'n' of a word and you'll be good.
Very good.
(Show-co-mell)
Hagelslag (specially with real butter and fresh white bread) and appeltaart should be much higher! Kibbeling beats kapsalon any day!
Nothing wrong with that "Sjoo-koo-mel" pronunciation. You should just let those people laugh, you guys doing better and better in speaking Dutch. I like to hear those people their "steenkolen Engels" and then let's see who has the last laugh lol...
Of course you choose Vlaai over Appeltaart! 🤷♂️😁 But i think you haven't had the Appelkruimelvlaai yet?! 😱
It's the best of both world and my personal favorite, together with the Aardbeienvlaai met bladerdeeg bodem. 🍓👌🏼😋
And instant of just a Uitsmijter, you should try a 12 Uurtje for lunch! 👍🏻✌🏼
You dont just eat advocaat on ice cream! Its delicious on a pancake with some chocolate sprinkles and ice cream and some fruit, for dessert, after you eat pancakes for dinner. Hmmmm pancakes.
When the R is in the month (September, Oktober, November) Mosselen are available.
A nice variation on Advokaat, you can get by Albert Hein! It’s called “Tokkelroom” after the sound a chicken makes. Tokkelroom tastes milder than Advokaat. 😍
I second this!
Even better, get it from a dairy farm where they make and sell it
Next time: Amandelstaaf, Boerenkool met worst, patatje oorlog, saté met satésaus. And lastly you go eat a degustation menu at Fred , Boompjes 41, Rotterdam . You'll have to book in advance though.
Kapsalon!!!! I have had those quite a few times when I still lived in the Netherlands in 2010! The best! And they have enough calories to last you the entire day! By the way, I am so very jealous of your metabolisms.
Jullie hebben peanut butter & jelly. Probeer is pindakaas en hagelslag of pindakaas en suiker. Childhood memories
If you like the "advocaat", there is a more mellow variant called "tokkelroom".
Advocaat is great as a sauce on ice cream or yogurt, etc. Add some Hagelslag to it. Nobody says it needs to go on bread. The bolus is super with salted butter on it!
Hagelslag goes to B for me, bitterballen goes to A, Zuurvlees goes to A and I replace it with .... Zeeuwse Mosselen.
Do you know where you should visit wageningen that is in gelderland but there is a place here that has on amazing broodje warm vlees you should come and try I won't mind bringing you there let me know because it will be worth it also a lot of history here as well that you would love to learn about also got my own youtube channel
BROO THE KIBBELING
HAGELSLAG! what have you done to my hagelslag.. :(
next time you tell me our drop is F tier.. I'm gonna cry guys
oh gawsh next you say DON'T wash away drop and hagelslag with a Heineken - this is when I'll die, ppl
I would move the Erwtensoup and Herring into the S-tier.
Koolraap en lof, schorseneren en prei. (drs. P)
And don't forget to check out postelein ... (Popeye-food).
I might be biased... but a Bolus with roomboter is above S-tier though ;P
It makes me happy to see honest opinions ❤
i'm on a diet, so damn, thanks for the cravings! Wanna go out and get a kapsalon now..
Zuurvlees op 1 😎 het is een specialiteit uit Zuid-Limburg daarom vindt je het niet in Weert. Goed excuus om weer naar het zuiden te komen 😋
ik heb als een echte brabander ooit zuurvlees gehad,ik moet zeggen ik ben er dol op...beter dan de stoofvlees die wij hier kennen
SJ= Shhhhhhh
The double OO = OOOWWW
K= hard KK
again double OO (so: OOW) , but a bit more LESS longer than the first double OO. Important!
M= hard MMM
E= EHHH
LL= hard LL
DONT, plz DONT making people fun of you.. because you're pronouncing it 'wrong'
Because it isn't!! It is you, who are trying to integrate!
You're learning, so... WTF!!
At least, you're trying. Which is MORE than any (F*CKN oblivious) tourist one can say.
I feel a worstenbroodje is more stable like 8/10 and saucijzenbroodjes are like. A bad one is easily a 6/10 but a great one is a solid 9/10
this is such a good point
As someone from the Eindhoven I completly disagree, worstenbroodjes are wayyy better ;)
Is there going to be a 3rd video about this? There’s a lot more to cover… 😉
Wow !!! You nailed saying chocomel
11:40 - "You think hagelsag is as bad as drop ?" - Hahaha. 🙂
ever tried hachee?
My very first experience with alcohol was when my Opa & his brothers were sitting around drinking after a long day on the farm and my Oom Piet filled a shot glass with cream and the tiniest end of a spoon of advocaat. I was six.
Hated it. Still do.
*Show'-ko-mel - also how dare you not put the greatest chocolate drink on the planet in anything else than top tier. It should have its own tier above all else. :D
honestly, it is the greatest chocolate drink on the planet
… but it’s still b tier 😂
Chocomel just B tier for you? It should be A tier. Your moustache should be brown from drinking that delicious chocolate drink. I would give it A tier since zuurvlees is my absolute S tier. Friet with zuurvlees is superior. ❤❤❤
@@buncharted As a big fan of your channel, I legit cannot give your response a thumbs down, but b tier is still a slight. :D
I've never seen anyone in his 50's so enthousiastic about advocaat as Alex! Good for you mister!
i’m not in my 50s 😭😭😭😭😭
Really? The moustache made me believe so.
Hahahaha, no I'm just joking. No man in his 50's would be able to handle such a young and lively woman as Michelle is.
50s??? He does not look anywhere near 50 at all! You need glasses 🤓
@@buncharted😂😂😂
Uncalled for bro😂😂 hes like high 30s
I'm wondering what American food we as Dutchies would find appealing when we'd live in the US? Foods we don't already sort of have over here, maybe famous regional dishes?
Crab cakes. Barbecued pulled pork. Gumbo. (Those were some of my favorites as a Dutch person living over there.)
the out smiter is also a guy at the door throwing you out. uitsmijter
Omg… appeltaart en hagelslag in C? 😢 They are definitely A for me (but I’m Dutch and live abroad).
oranjekoek and hagelslag are in C
appeltaart is B i think?
De beste bolussen zijn die van bakkerij Bliek in Middelburg
Have you ever tried Barneveldse Haantje pik? I never heard of Zeeuwse bolussen before but it looks just like that. 😅 I wonder if it tastes different. It’s very famous in and around Barneveld.
i’ve never heard of it before 😅 hope to try it someday!
Zuurvlees is makkelijk zelf te maken. Het kost wel wat tijd. Maak lekker veel en vries het in.
I ordered oranjekoeken in Leeuwarden at a cute little shop museum. I was so disappointed in it! I thought I was getting orange cookies. It was so dry and meh.
someone in another comment said the “oranje” is for the orange peel that’s typically on top, but it’s interesting to note that oranje in dutch is the color orange and sinaasappel is the fruit
it got us too, we didn’t think about that until like a day later 😂
Sooooo 🧐 at some point ‘ús oranjekoeke’ disappeared out of the tierlist? Fair enough because it is in a league of his own! 😎 #fryslânboppe!!
wow good catch! i had accidentally put hagelslag in B tier in the graphics and had to fix it, but somehow i also removed oranjekoeken 😅
Putting drop in F tier is a valid reason to kick people out of the country ;) Jokes aside, definitely enjoyed the video. It's fun to see your perspective on some foods that are so common to us.
Drop is definitely an acquired taste, but of course we Dutchies acquire that taste before we can walk. It's sooo addictive. I shouldn't really eat it any more because I'm old and I need to watch my blood pressure, but I still love all the salty ones. 😊
