The Mexicano is actually not named that because it's got a Mexican taste. It was introduced as a promotion for the 1986 Soccer World Cup in Mexico. It was so popular that it became a Dutch snackbar staple. Oh and the Berenklauw MUST be eaten with peanut-/sateh sauce. That elevates it so much. Sooo good.

Dang..... now I've seen this, I want snackbar food!!!!
Never ask when you'd eat snacks. Common knowledge is everything tastes miles better in the dead of night, coming from the bar on your way home. So i suggest you try all of this again, but prepare beforehand until about two at night. And with prepare i mean party. Hard.

Er zijn varianten in elke snackbar/regio maar hier in de buurt is een loempia speciaal een (kip/ham)loempia met een plak ham erover en een eitje erover en dan een lekkere dot satesaus erbij
Berenklauw needs pindasaus and if you are lucky, they also put thick (5mm) Katenspek slices (deepfried along with the meatball and onion) next to the onion.
@@Elatenl berenklauw isn't necessarily factory made. it's a meatball cut in slices, and some quartered onion peels + preferrably some slices of katen spek & then deepfried. used to make them myself when i worked in a snackbar a couple decades ago. pretty sure that place still makes them that way.
@@JennyvdK I live in the east of the Netherlands, and over here is not strange to say later in the evening: " Heb jij de vetkei nog warm? En zou daar nog een bruine fruitschaal in kunnen?"

Berenklauw is a Meatball with slices of Onion in between.. personally.. i love them.. they also taste great with saté sauce!.. I often make them myself, especially lately, because i got a bigger fryer..
The best "Berenklauw" for me is made from a good "gehaktbal" (meatball). Unfortunately you don't see them as much these days. Also there should be much more onion on it. Standard around here used to be 1 meatball & 1 (hard) onion for each stick. Most common "condiment" is either curry and mayo (actually "frietsaus") or "satesaus", but mustard is not uncommon either.
The kaassoufle you guys had was one that has aged cheese in it, its called a souflesse. The common kaassoufle that people pick up at the febo has a more mild cheese flavor. An amazing combo is to put a kaassoufle on a white bun and then top it off with peanut sauce!

Oi, a 'Bereklauw' without peanutsauce? 😮 It supposed to be a meatball with onions btw. Best is to make one yourself. With the 'pindasaus'👍🏽🍻. Great videos and you both are so sweet and awesome. ❤
the berenklauw or sometimes berenhap really should be coated with pindasaus, and please try the picanto, sometimes called gehaktstaaf, with mayo, really good combination. Anyone is allowed to wake me up for a frikandel speciaal at any time of the day 😂
That green stripe on the vegetarian vlammetjes is there to indicate the product is green/vegetarian. There are similar indicators on a variety of vegetarian foods. Vietnamese springrolls have a green dot for the vegetarian version.
Reading the comments I noticed that different people have different favorite snacks which could be expected. The one thing almost everyone seems to agree on however is that most snacks taste so much better with sate saus. I'd turn that around and say sate saus is just so good that it doesn't matter much what you use to scoop it up 😛
My favourites from the snackbar are the "broodje frikandel speciaal" (it's just sooo good!), the "broodje kaassoufflé met pindasaus", the "patatje stoofvlees/zuurvlees" if they have it, otherwise I'll often take the "patatje oorlog" or "patatje flip" (basically a "patatje oorlog" without the onions).
You guys put so much effort in tasting all snacks of the menu, i am impressed haha. My go to snack is either a plain frietje met frikandel speciaal met curry or a plain frikandel, paired with a frietje speciaal met curry. I use the sauce for dipping the frietje or frikandel😁
Vlammetjes are so darn good, I don't get them often but they do hit the spot A berenklauw needs satesaus to be fully appreciated I also love a Broodje Warm Vlees (also with satesaus) from a snackbar
Fun fact: the Mexicano is actually a Dordrecht invention, made by De Vries Vleessnacks! Also, the first factory made frikandellen are from the same company. Local pride!
Did you ever try the Mora ‘draadjesvlees’ vegetarian kroket? They are DIY ovenkroketten and YUMM!! My carnivore husband loves these more than the original meatfilled ones. 😍
DAMN YOU 🤣 Have a salad in the fridge, now I crave these 😂 Did you record this in one day? How did Bram Ladage react when you placed that order 😁 My favorite is the Mexicano with peanut sauce 🥰
If you like Bram Ladage's fries, you should definitely visit the pit stop in Rotterdam. which is located close to Lombardy station. Once you taste this you won't want anything else. good luck with your channel and hope to enjoy your vlogs for a long time 🙏🏿❤️
You guys could also try: Lihanboutje, Kikastick (or sitostick), broodje warmvlees with pindasaus, satekroket (prefferably on a white bun), hamkaassouffle. Thanks for your video's they are very fun to watch. 👌🏻
I was watching the video again and there's still one thing i wanted to say. 😁 In the South we call the Berenklauw a Gehaktbal Special, because it's a meatball sliced in four with the onion in between, so no patties and you get it with frietsauce and curry on top, so it automatically becomes a Special! 😉✌🏼
The berenhap/berenklauw definitely depends on the sauce. Try it with peanut sauce next time. That should be sort of the default question when you order it. Één berenklauw alstublieft. Met satesaus? Graag!
You have to try this: ragouzi, sitostick with sate sauce, Grizzly with chilli sauce, worstenbroodje with sate sauce, Smulrol mayo, Shoarmarol. Those are my favorites, hopefully they will be yours too!
Your right! I always eat the special snacks such as sitostick, smulrol and grizzly at a snackbar. I hope they will try them as well. I eat those without sauce. That 's for me the best.
Guys, Dutch snacks are all about the sauces. Eating anything without sauce is just wrong. You gave the broodje firkandel speciaal 5 stroopwafels. Is it because of the very unique flavor of a firkandel? No! It's because of the combination with the sauce and the onions. That goes for all of the snacks. Please try some of these snacks again, but now try to figure out the best sauce that goes with it
@Alex, have you tried braadharing? It's battered and fried herring, then kept in a vinegary liquid. You'll love it! You can get it @ AH or at a fried fish stand.
The “berenklauw” is so much better with satésaus (sateh sauce)! And I agree on the picanto. I prefer the Mexicano any time! And when I can’t de ide, I like the mini snacks as well.
I will list some of the lesser know but in my opinion amazing snacks. - Viandel, its a frikandel but then dipped in some sort of breading/batter. - Sitostick, its turkey meat and onion on a skewer with batter around it. - Lucifer (dutch for matchstick and also the devil), it's a spicy kipcorn with a weird red batter on one end, the batter is okay but seems more like a gimmick. I just like the spicy chicken stuff. - Grizzly, its a berenklauw but then dipped in a spicy batter. I seem to like battered and spicy stuff :p - and last but not least Vlampijp. its a large vlammetje with breading on both ends and more shaped like a loempia. definitely a recommendation if you like vlammetjes. there are even way more lesser know snacks, like all the rolls (sate, shoarma, smul) and many more but the ones listed above seem to be the ones only dutch people actually know about and never get mentioned in these sort of videos, give em a try 👍
The original broodje frikandel speciaal was with raw diced unions, mayonaise and ketchup. Someone started using curryketchup and today almost all are served with that.
I used to always go for broodje mexicano mayo pinda and broodje pikanto mayo pinda. Definately my favorite snacks aside patatje oorlog (mayo+pinda and onion).
A Pikanto used to be called a Gehaktstaaf, as a cilinder version of a Gehaktbal. The Gehaktbal is the meat they use for a Bereklauw...its just a deepfried and slightly spiced "meat"ball with onions. I did miss the Viandel, obviously the plain old Gehaktbal and the Sitostick. Viandel is chicken/beef mix with a crispy lumpia like outside and the Sitostick is a breaded chicken/turkey/onion shaslik. (You might have to head a bit further South to find them though) Oh and every single deepfried snack is good with mayo by the way, but a mild mustard is honestly a good second. My standard order here at Friture Pam Pam (kind of a local legend tbh) is a grote friet Zuurvlees, 2 Frikandellen and a Pikanto. :D
My favorite is the Viandel. If you love frikandel, you will probably like this too! It is a frikandel but has an extra layer around it which makes it crispy
youtube rewards channels that have videos that do consistently well, and we wanted to have a place where we could post videos that we either don't think would do well on our main channel (either because of the topic or video editing decisions) so it's there if you want extra buncharted content, but if you don't, we'll still keep posting the same stuff you're used to on this channel every week :)
Great video as always and the verbal and visual puns definitely deserve 5 stroopwafels! My favorite snacks by far are the kaassoufflé and the frikandel speciaal. I would not likely choose a snack because it is vegetarian, but that does not mean I would skip a nice bamischijf. I do think the right sauce can make a lot of difference. I would never order a berenklauw without peanut sauce for example. Or chicken nuggets without Smoked BBQ sauce. The sauce can really completerend a snack and push it closer towards those hard to earn 5 stroopwafels. I love bitterballen, they go very well with different sauces. Beers are mandatory though. The kroket does not do much for me, other than size matters. I mean, when I crave a broodje kroket (with mayonaise or mosterd), bitterballen won’t cut it. But when I really crave a vegetarian snack, I cut an avocado in half, remove the pit, don’t remove the skin add mozzarella, a slice of tomato and some salt and peper and pop it in the air fryer. And when they are done, I take a small spoon and scoop them out and enjoy… Looking forward to your next vid! Cheers, Rick
Kaas souffle, nasischijf and frikandel speciaal are my favorites but kroketten and broodje hamburger speciaal mét sla, ei, augurk, tomaat en komkommer are good too!
You take that back!! The McChicken is one of the best chicken sandwiches out there. At least we agree that the mexicano is an S tier snack. Also, protip: usually getting bitterballen is more cost-effective than getting a kroket, because you get more of the same for a proportionally lower price.
Okay guys I gotta be honest. What a great cool wholesome honest video. I was watching this with a buddy of mine and we are from the area. We really loved your enthousiasm over something as basic as snackbar snacks. Thumbs up!! 5 Stroopwafels. Hit us up anytime when you are in the area to hang out!
Missing the Nasi schijf, which is a disc with rice filling. The best Bamischijf is from a company called Elite. Mexicano is my favorite snack, followed by bami-/Nasi schijf, frikadel of kroket. Vlammetjes are also very nice, but those I do not buy at the snackbar.
Still enjoying your content soooo like! Bijna alles is beter met pindasaus is mijn persoonlijke mening haha. Lekker hoor. En goede swaffel met de frikandel haha. Ook lekker hoor 😊 Gewoon doorgaan zoals jullie doen. Toppie.
Ghoulash kroket, although it's interesting to note they taste very differently between places. Sometimes they're more sweet than spicy and sometimes the filling is more of a pudding. Other times it's filled with a lot of "meaty" pieces.
Depends on what you put in the ragout. I made my own, by putting some leftover homemade goulash in the ragout, forming and breading them. I had 16 of them and 10 bitterballen. They lasted 3 days. Normally 2 is plenty for me, but these were to good.
Best thing from the snackbar.... is an ALA. It's an local thing in the south (Venlo-Limburg). on the bottom 1 frikandel, zuurvlees (sour meat). then fries, curry, mayo, chopped onions.
Fun fact, below the rivers, a lot of snackbars will make a frikandel speciaal with curry mayo, onions and peanut sauce. (and usually they'll have a sign that says that their "speciaal" has peanut sauce (satésaus/pindasaus) probably to warn those with an allergy to order it without the peanut sauce) I found a Bram Ladage near Bleiswijk last week. It's good eating, even there!
The Picanto is my favorite with peanut (sate) sauce. As for the kroketten. The lightest is usually veal, goulash is more reddish, and the beef is the more brownish color... That being said, you should really try a "sate kroket" Lastly, the "patties" of the bear claw was a cut up meatball.
Als ik heel af en toe naar de snackbar ga, dan is het meestal voor een broodje frikandel speciaal. Of bij onze (onafhankelijke) buurtsnackbar een broodje hamburger speciaal. (Gebakken eitje erop ook. En komkommer in plaats van augurk. En rauwe uitjes in plaats van gebakken uitjes.)
that Mexicano "meat" sounds like a McRib version of a "bullet" I had in Belgium - large meatball sausage item cut most of the way down into segments (like the English Christmas chocolate orange) then fried and the segments open up in a blooming onion fashion bite size for dipping
Good, whenever you read this, just a small comment about how you start your video's. you start always with "goede morgen", nothing wrong with that but I, and not I alone I think, watch your'e video's in the evening or at night. Maybe the opening can be "goede dag", that covers the whole day 🙃. Keep on going with you'e vlogs, I love them.
we say that because most of the time it’s the morning when we start filming, and when we’re visiting a city in a vlog, we want to make sure it’s clear when we’re kicking off the video it doesn’t make as much of a difference when we do videos at home trying food of course but i’m a sucker for consistency 😅
when my nut and milk allergy werent as bad my absolute favorite snack was the trio sate. Do need to say this is a ssnack you find in overijsel maybe drenthe or achterhoek but not in the west or extreme north for what i know. i know enough times i wanted to order it and the cafetaria owner never heard of it. cafetaria/patatboer zijn vervangende namen voor snackbar.
In Belgium we have also very good snack bar food like Julientje (fries, satéspices, stoofvleessauce, mayonaise, dryed onions and slices viandel). My favorites are Lucifer, Loempidel and Ribster. But I like also Grizzly and Mammoet with Mammoetsauce
Bram Ladager is well known, I live in the Far East of the Netherlands (Enschede) and somehow I know that name from the Rotterdam area... Dude must have fried some good stuff in his days (I presume it's now run by his ancestors) I used to sometimes visit a football game in the Kuip and then eat some Bram snacks
We were in the Netherlands three months ago and we tried fries and snacks at several places. None of them tasted as well as I remembered and my wife disliked most of them. We went to Amsterdam and Utrecht and I am aware that there should be a Bram Ladage in Utrecht but we weren’t near that one.
manneken pis is pretty good in utrecht! tbh, fast food is fast food. it’s convenient but i rarely seriously crave any of this stuff other than fries. there’s always better food out there, it’s just more expensive or less convenient :) except fries. i would eat fries every day
A berenklauw is just a boulet cut in slices with onions. A frikandel in Flemish is a curryworst and if you add ketchup, mayo and raw onion you get a curryworst special. If you like seafood you can also get a shrimp (garnaal)kroket.
get the "sate kroket" :) and try frikandel speciaal with ketchup instead of curry. and get patat speciaal with curry and uitjes ;-) ow and the mexicano.... it begs for sate saus
As mentioned before in the comments, the Berenklauw, or as we call them Berenhap, can not go without sateh-saus. Also good for you to know that not all specialsauce is with curry. In my region special is with ketchup in stead of curry. Next time, try if you can find a 'lihanboutje' (lee-hán bauwtje) somewhere. It is an old snackbar snack even I don't understand.
You can never go wrong with a Broodje Frikandel Special! 👌🏼 Damn, i can already hear my stomach! 🤤 My most favorite croquette is the goulash, but never with mustard 😬, only with fries sauce and really great on a bun and for me mutch better than a normal croquette on a bun! BUT, you haven't tasted the Sitostick en Zigeuner stick yet, i think, but it should be served with curry sauce! ✌🏼
You really should go to a snackbar in Belgium sometime, they have even more snacks there, and lots more sauces to put on fries too. The only snack I eat regularly at home, and sometimes from a snackbar, is the frikadel. I don't like them when they are only from chicken meat, there has to be some other meat in there for the flavor. The original recipe was pork and horse, because that was really cheap meat when the snack was invented in the early fifties. Horse meat is really expensive today, it can cost up to 60 euros a kilogram (good beef is 25-30 euros per kg).
Really love your video's! ❤ A bit off topic: I was just watching Lala Land on Netflix. Michelle, was that you playing the manager in the coffeeshop? Probably not, but did you see her, she really looks like you.
If you ever get the chance: Try the Vlampijp! The Vlampijp comes from the same manufacturer as the appreciated Vlammetjes. in fact it has the same ingredients too. It is like a very large Vlammetje. However, in balance there is a little more filling than wrapping(?) and the ends of the wrapping have a little breadcrumb dipping. This results in a snack a little less oily than the Vlammetje and imo a better, intenser taste. And it's BIG! The backdraw: It seems availability is very low. I never saw it outside a cafetaria and in the approx. 15 years it exists, i maybe saw it in three or four cafetaria's. That no one mentioned it before in the comments confirms for me it's pretty hard to find (unfortunately!)
i miss the currysaus in the bereklauw, we in Limburg call this gehaktbal speciaal, that's this food with curry saus....... (later on i read that they put pindasaus with the bereklauw, but it looks like gehaktbal speciaal. The only difference is the currysaus versus the pindasaus). ... Oh and another thing. We have also 2 other snacks which is pure Limburgs. The Frietei and friet zuurvlees. Don't know if you are familiar to that when you were in Limburg.
fun vid! kaas souflé.. any saus you like.. peanut, curryketchup, mayo.. oorlog.. all goes (and amen on (medium) hot chili sauce.. very valid option/personal fav, also on kip corns and mexicano (which gets oorlog often.. a lot of stuff does) picanto is spicier/fancier development on frikandellen, came mid nineties (my highschool era) mexicano came later, is actually something that flopped in the 80ies and they re-put on the market after some changes.. and is mystery meat with spices and nobody knows why it's actually called mexicano anymore.. (marketing when dutch soccer team was in world championship in mexico in the 80ies) and why the heck did I remember all this.. where was this hidden?
Both carrero (that you liked a lot!) and Frikandel need peanutsauce in my opinion. Unfortunately they changed the peanutsauce over the years, it was more towards Indonesian. Now it is sweeter and a bit tangy... Perhaps you already experienced it: the Bami-blok/bals are different. If you like the spicy ones do not buy the square ones. They are milder in taste, bit more like Chinese Bami. I like that a whole lot better, but for you guys that would be too bland. And off course it tastes very good with....peanutsauce! You ate so many things that I never ate in my entire life. Surprised that you like most of the things you try...coming from Snack-country I would not have expected that. Your vlogs are hilarious... I get indigestion just by looking at it 😂 you two have very strong stomachs...and gallbladders... I just started watching a week ago, so lots of video's left...😊
Was een paar weken geleden terug in Seattle op familiebezoek en na een paar dagen was ik aan het hunkeren naar een broodje haring en een frikandel speciaal. Oja en naar een bamiehap en frietje joppiesaus en een vietnamese loempia en een lemper en spekkoek. Maar dat was het dan he.

Now you know what the Dutch mean when they say the fried food choice of your average fast food chain is somewhat limited. The nice thing of picanto is, one burp later that day and you can enjoy the taste all over again.

Sweet Chili on a kaas souffle? say what? Bami Schijven are almost like a meal. Ps love the innuendos haha
jaman. sweet chili op een kaassoufle is goud. zeker met goede kwaliteit kaas
@@theflyingdutchguy9870 Amen!
Fun fact: the Mexicano is actually a Dordrecht invention, made by De Vries Vleessnacks! Also, the first factory made frikandellen are from the same company. Local pride!
Did you ever try the Mora ‘draadjesvlees’ vegetarian kroket? They are DIY ovenkroketten and YUMM!! My carnivore husband loves these more than the original meatfilled ones. 😍
DAMN YOU 🤣 Have a salad in the fridge, now I crave these 😂 Did you record this in one day? How did Bram Ladage react when you placed that order 😁 My favorite is the Mexicano with peanut sauce 🥰
i’m sure they were confused 😂
especially when we ordered one of every sauce for our second channel 😂😂
If you like Bram Ladage's fries, you should definitely visit the pit stop in Rotterdam. which is located close to Lombardy station. Once you taste this you won't want anything else. good luck with your channel and hope to enjoy your vlogs for a long time 🙏🏿❤️
Dat is een gouwe ouwe inderdaad.
Great one again guys. tnx
What you really should try is Broodje Taartaar met Uitjes en Curry, real yummi.
You guys could also try: Lihanboutje, Kikastick (or sitostick), broodje warmvlees with pindasaus, satekroket (prefferably on a white bun), hamkaassouffle. Thanks for your video's they are very fun to watch. 👌🏻
I was watching the video again and there's still one thing i wanted to say. 😁
In the South we call the Berenklauw a Gehaktbal Special, because it's a meatball sliced in four with the onion in between, so no patties and you get it with frietsauce and curry on top, so it automatically becomes a Special! 😉✌🏼
The berenhap/berenklauw definitely depends on the sauce. Try it with peanut sauce next time. That should be sort of the default question when you order it. Één berenklauw alstublieft. Met satesaus? Graag!
15:53 in Limburg we called it a spoetnik and eat it with currysauce
You have to try this: ragouzi, sitostick with sate sauce, Grizzly with chilli sauce, worstenbroodje with sate sauce, Smulrol mayo, Shoarmarol. Those are my favorites, hopefully they will be yours too!
Your right! I always eat the special snacks such as sitostick, smulrol and grizzly at a snackbar. I hope they will try them as well. I eat those without sauce. That 's for me the best.
Guys, Dutch snacks are all about the sauces. Eating anything without sauce is just wrong. You gave the broodje firkandel speciaal 5 stroopwafels. Is it because of the very unique flavor of a firkandel? No! It's because of the combination with the sauce and the onions. That goes for all of the snacks. Please try some of these snacks again, but now try to figure out the best sauce that goes with it
Niet waar, daarmee maak je alles op smaak, onzin
Jullie hadden de bal gehakt uit de jus met mayonaise en satesaus moeten proberen. Heerlijk!
Yum !
Try
Berenklauw met pinda saus.
Of
Kaassouffle met pinda saus.
Of
Mexico met hete pinda saus
Heerlijk.
@Alex, have you tried braadharing? It's battered and fried herring, then kept in a vinegary liquid. You'll love it! You can get it @ AH or at a fried fish stand.
i haven’t but that does sound soooo good 🤤
If you love Vlammetjes, then you should try Vlam Tosti’s for breakfast. Check the frozen food section in your supermarket.
The “berenklauw” is so much better with satésaus (sateh sauce)! And I agree on the picanto. I prefer the Mexicano any time! And when I can’t de ide, I like the mini snacks as well.
I will list some of the lesser know but in my opinion amazing snacks.
- Viandel, its a frikandel but then dipped in some sort of breading/batter.
- Sitostick, its turkey meat and onion on a skewer with batter around it.
- Lucifer (dutch for matchstick and also the devil), it's a spicy kipcorn with a weird red batter on one end, the batter is okay but seems more like a gimmick. I just like the spicy chicken stuff.
- Grizzly, its a berenklauw but then dipped in a spicy batter. I seem to like battered and spicy stuff :p
- and last but not least Vlampijp. its a large vlammetje with breading on both ends and more shaped like a loempia. definitely a recommendation if you like vlammetjes.
there are even way more lesser know snacks, like all the rolls (sate, shoarma, smul) and many more but the ones listed above seem to be the ones only dutch people actually know about and never get mentioned in these sort of videos, give em a try 👍
Nice video again guys. If you really like Frikandellen, then I curious what you guys think of the Discodel. 😜
hahah i’d definitely try it
not sure i’d like it 😂
A Discodel....does it taste groovy?
@@GullibleTarget If your definition of Groovy, is a weird combination of sweet, fat and sour, then Yes 😜
Great video! Maybe you can also try a Shashlik or a Sitostick (formerly called Turkey stick) in the future.
The original broodje frikandel speciaal was with raw diced unions, mayonaise and ketchup. Someone started using curryketchup and today almost all are served with that.
I used to always go for broodje mexicano mayo pinda and broodje pikanto mayo pinda. Definately my favorite snacks aside patatje oorlog (mayo+pinda and onion).
Broodje frikandel speciaal is my go to snack. And a broodje saté (which is one I missed from your video) 😊
A Pikanto used to be called a Gehaktstaaf, as a cilinder version of a Gehaktbal.
The Gehaktbal is the meat they use for a Bereklauw...its just a deepfried and slightly spiced "meat"ball with onions.
I did miss the Viandel, obviously the plain old Gehaktbal and the Sitostick.
Viandel is chicken/beef mix with a crispy lumpia like outside and the Sitostick is a breaded chicken/turkey/onion shaslik. (You might have to head a bit further South to find them though)
Oh and every single deepfried snack is good with mayo by the way, but a mild mustard is honestly a good second.
My standard order here at Friture Pam Pam (kind of a local legend tbh) is a grote friet Zuurvlees, 2 Frikandellen and a Pikanto. :D
My favorite is the Viandel. If you love frikandel, you will probably like this too! It is a frikandel but has an extra layer around it which makes it crispy
Loved this, as always. I have to ask though.. Why is there a second channel?
youtube rewards channels that have videos that do consistently well, and we wanted to have a place where we could post videos that we either don't think would do well on our main channel (either because of the topic or video editing decisions)
so it's there if you want extra buncharted content, but if you don't, we'll still keep posting the same stuff you're used to on this channel every week :)
Great video as always and the verbal and visual puns definitely deserve 5 stroopwafels!
My favorite snacks by far are the kaassoufflé and the frikandel speciaal. I would not likely choose a snack because it is vegetarian, but that does not mean I would skip a nice bamischijf. I do think the right sauce can make a lot of difference. I would never order a berenklauw without peanut sauce for example. Or chicken nuggets without Smoked BBQ sauce. The sauce can really completerend a snack and push it closer towards those hard to earn 5 stroopwafels.
I love bitterballen, they go very well with different sauces. Beers are mandatory though. The kroket does not do much for me, other than size matters. I mean, when I crave a broodje kroket (with mayonaise or mosterd), bitterballen won’t cut it.
But when I really crave a vegetarian snack, I cut an avocado in half, remove the pit, don’t remove the skin add mozzarella, a slice of tomato and some salt and peper and pop it in the air fryer. And when they are done, I take a small spoon and scoop them out and enjoy…
Looking forward to your next vid! Cheers, Rick
Kaas souffle, nasischijf and frikandel speciaal are my favorites but kroketten and broodje hamburger speciaal mét sla, ei, augurk, tomaat en komkommer are good too!
You take that back!! The McChicken is one of the best chicken sandwiches out there.
At least we agree that the mexicano is an S tier snack. Also, protip: usually getting bitterballen is more cost-effective than getting a kroket, because you get more of the same for a proportionally lower price.
Okay guys I gotta be honest. What a great cool wholesome honest video. I was watching this with a buddy of mine and we are from the area. We really loved your enthousiasm over something as basic as snackbar snacks. Thumbs up!! 5 Stroopwafels. Hit us up anytime when you are in the area to hang out!
I never had a kaassouffle with sweet chili sauce, but that is such a great idea! How come I never thought of this myself. I have to try it
berenklauw of gehaktbal speciaal ook lekker met curry of pindasaus
Kaassoufflee with appelmoes is my favorite snack! And for fries, frietje with satesaus and mayo
wow, dies nieuw met appelmoes, zal hem eens proberen :)
LOL ! The Pikanto Bun Hub screen, so funny !
Missing the Nasi schijf, which is a disc with rice filling. The best Bamischijf is from a company called Elite. Mexicano is my favorite snack, followed by bami-/Nasi schijf, frikadel of kroket. Vlammetjes are also very nice, but those I do not buy at the snackbar.
Still enjoying your content soooo like!
Bijna alles is beter met pindasaus is mijn persoonlijke mening haha. Lekker hoor. En goede swaffel met de frikandel haha. Ook lekker hoor 😊 Gewoon doorgaan zoals jullie doen. Toppie.
I love the berenklauw, a meatball with caramelized onion. But I eat it covered in Saté saus.
Ghoulash kroket, although it's interesting to note they taste very differently between places. Sometimes they're more sweet than spicy and sometimes the filling is more of a pudding. Other times it's filled with a lot of "meaty" pieces.
Depends on what you put in the ragout.
I made my own, by putting some leftover homemade goulash in the ragout, forming and breading them.
I had 16 of them and 10 bitterballen.
They lasted 3 days.
Normally 2 is plenty for me, but these were to good.
Best thing from the snackbar.... is an ALA. It's an local thing in the south (Venlo-Limburg). on the bottom 1 frikandel, zuurvlees (sour meat). then fries, curry, mayo, chopped onions.
Fun fact, below the rivers, a lot of snackbars will make a frikandel speciaal with curry mayo, onions and peanut sauce.
(and usually they'll have a sign that says that their "speciaal" has peanut sauce (satésaus/pindasaus) probably to warn those with an allergy to order it without the peanut sauce)
I found a Bram Ladage near Bleiswijk last week. It's good eating, even there!
will def have to try this sometime
You forget the turkeystick 😮 (and please try droge worst From Drenthe of Groningen, especially from Assen :p)
The Picanto is my favorite with peanut (sate) sauce.
As for the kroketten. The lightest is usually veal, goulash is more reddish, and the beef is the more brownish color... That being said, you should really try a "sate kroket"
Lastly, the "patties" of the bear claw was a cut up meatball.
Als ik heel af en toe naar de snackbar ga, dan is het meestal voor een broodje frikandel speciaal. Of bij onze (onafhankelijke) buurtsnackbar een broodje hamburger speciaal. (Gebakken eitje erop ook. En komkommer in plaats van augurk. En rauwe uitjes in plaats van gebakken uitjes.)
that Mexicano "meat" sounds like a McRib version of a "bullet" I had in Belgium - large meatball sausage item cut most of the way down into segments (like the English Christmas chocolate orange) then fried and the segments open up in a blooming onion fashion bite size for dipping
Good, whenever you read this, just a small comment about how you start your video's.
you start always with "goede morgen", nothing wrong with that but I, and not I alone I think, watch your'e video's in the evening or at night.
Maybe the opening can be "goede dag", that covers the whole day 🙃.
Keep on going with you'e vlogs, I love them.
we say that because most of the time it’s the morning when we start filming, and when we’re visiting a city in a vlog, we want to make sure it’s clear when we’re kicking off the video
it doesn’t make as much of a difference when we do videos at home trying food of course but i’m a sucker for consistency 😅
Would love to see an eierbal sometime! (basically a kind of Scotch egg, popular especially in Groningen)
it’s in our groningen vlog :)
Did you just say good morning and immediately star stuffing your face with snack bar food 😂😂😂 hahahaha sick
when my nut and milk allergy werent as bad my absolute favorite snack was the trio sate.
Do need to say this is a ssnack you find in overijsel maybe drenthe or achterhoek but not in the west or extreme north for what i know.
i know enough times i wanted to order it and the cafetaria owner never heard of it.
cafetaria/patatboer zijn vervangende namen voor snackbar.
The goulashkroket is the best without any sauce. A picanto is really nice with saté sauce.
In Belgium we have also very good snack bar food like Julientje (fries, satéspices, stoofvleessauce, mayonaise, dryed onions and slices viandel). My favorites are Lucifer, Loempidel and Ribster. But I like also Grizzly and Mammoet with Mammoetsauce
You guys need to come the Emmen and need to taste the eierbal. Of come eat at de krokkettenkunst there is so much to eat here in Emmen!
Spicy bamischijf and Mexicano are my favorites at the moment, but it wil change in time and then it’s something else.
Hey! It's called a bami-schijf, schijf meaning disc. There's also a bami-blok, which is block shaped. They're usually less spicy.
Bram Ladager is well known, I live in the Far East of the Netherlands (Enschede) and somehow I know that name from the Rotterdam area... Dude must have fried some good stuff in his days (I presume it's now run by his ancestors)
I used to sometimes visit a football game in the Kuip and then eat some Bram snacks
We were in the Netherlands three months ago and we tried fries and snacks at several places. None of them tasted as well as I remembered and my wife disliked most of them. We went to Amsterdam and Utrecht and I am aware that there should be a Bram Ladage in Utrecht but we weren’t near that one.
manneken pis is pretty good in utrecht!
tbh, fast food is fast food. it’s convenient but i rarely seriously crave any of this stuff other than fries. there’s always better food out there, it’s just more expensive or less convenient :)
except fries. i would eat fries every day
A berenklauw is just a boulet cut in slices with onions. A frikandel in Flemish is a curryworst and if you add ketchup, mayo and raw onion you get a curryworst special. If you like seafood you can also get a shrimp (garnaal)kroket.
I hope that you will also make a video about the Chinese takeaway. I am curious what you think of the babipangang and the rest of our Chinese cuisine.
get the "sate kroket" :) and try frikandel speciaal with ketchup instead of curry. and get patat speciaal with curry and uitjes ;-) ow and the mexicano.... it begs for sate saus
bere(n)klauw, meatball with onion slices, fried. To be eaten with peanut sauce, just like the mexicano.
As mentioned before in the comments, the Berenklauw, or as we call them Berenhap, can not go without sateh-saus. Also good for you to know that not all specialsauce is with curry. In my region special is with ketchup in stead of curry.
Next time, try if you can find a 'lihanboutje' (lee-hán bauwtje) somewhere. It is an old snackbar snack even I don't understand.
You can never go wrong with a Broodje Frikandel Special! 👌🏼 Damn, i can already hear my stomach! 🤤
My most favorite croquette is the goulash, but never with mustard 😬, only with fries sauce and really great on a bun and for me mutch better than a normal croquette on a bun!
BUT, you haven't tasted the Sitostick en Zigeuner stick yet, i think, but it should be served with curry sauce! ✌🏼
You really should go to a snackbar in Belgium sometime, they have even more snacks there, and lots more sauces to put on fries too. The only snack I eat regularly at home, and sometimes from a snackbar, is the frikadel. I don't like them when they are only from chicken meat, there has to be some other meat in there for the flavor. The original recipe was pork and horse, because that was really cheap meat when the snack was invented in the early fifties. Horse meat is really expensive today, it can cost up to 60 euros a kilogram (good beef is 25-30 euros per kg).
17:15 everyday we're swaffeling uhhh shuffling 🎶😅
Really love your video's! ❤
A bit off topic: I was just watching Lala Land on Netflix. Michelle, was that you playing the manager in the coffeeshop? Probably not, but did you see her, she really looks like you.
If you ever get the chance: Try the Vlampijp!
The Vlampijp comes from the same manufacturer as the appreciated Vlammetjes.
in fact it has the same ingredients too. It is like a very large Vlammetje.
However, in balance there is a little more filling than wrapping(?) and the ends of the wrapping have a little breadcrumb dipping.
This results in a snack a little less oily than the Vlammetje and imo a better, intenser taste. And it's BIG!
The backdraw: It seems availability is very low. I never saw it outside a cafetaria and in the approx. 15 years it exists, i maybe saw it in three or four cafetaria's. That no one mentioned it before in the comments confirms for me it's pretty hard to find (unfortunately!)
My favourites are patatje oorlog (of course with unions and good pindasaus) and frikandel speciaal with curry :-) .
You should go to Nijmegen and try the 'Discodel' and 'Broodje spé' 😊
2:39 it IS a frikandel. Just a very small one. The round one.. I don't know what that is.
i miss the currysaus in the bereklauw, we in Limburg call this gehaktbal speciaal, that's this food with curry saus....... (later on i read that they put pindasaus with the bereklauw, but it looks like gehaktbal speciaal. The only difference is the currysaus versus the pindasaus). ... Oh and another thing. We have also 2 other snacks which is pure Limburgs. The Frietei and friet zuurvlees. Don't know if you are familiar to that when you were in Limburg.
fun vid! kaas souflé.. any saus you like.. peanut, curryketchup, mayo.. oorlog.. all goes (and amen on (medium) hot chili sauce.. very valid option/personal fav, also on kip corns and mexicano (which gets oorlog often.. a lot of stuff does) picanto is spicier/fancier development on frikandellen, came mid nineties (my highschool era) mexicano came later, is actually something that flopped in the 80ies and they re-put on the market after some changes.. and is mystery meat with spices and nobody knows why it's actually called mexicano anymore.. (marketing when dutch soccer team was in world championship in mexico in the 80ies) and why the heck did I remember all this.. where was this hidden?
Most people eat the bereklauw covered in mayonaise and curry or with satesaus. Also please try the viandel!! I think that's the best snack everrr
Have you guys tried our "white gold" yet? White asperagus are THE BEST!
haha yes we love it. we had it in our market vs grocery video about a month ago too!
Now I'm craving for a Kalfsvlees kroket with Zaanse mosterd. Now that's real hot mustard 🤤
Both carrero (that you liked a lot!) and Frikandel need peanutsauce in my opinion. Unfortunately they changed the peanutsauce over the years, it was more towards Indonesian.
Now it is sweeter and a bit tangy...
Perhaps you already experienced it: the Bami-blok/bals are different. If you like the spicy ones do not buy the square ones. They are milder in taste, bit more like Chinese Bami. I like that a whole lot better, but for you guys that would be too bland. And off course it tastes very good with....peanutsauce!
You ate so many things that I never ate in my entire life.
Surprised that you like most of the things you try...coming from Snack-country I would not have expected that.
Your vlogs are hilarious... I get indigestion just by looking at it 😂 you two have very strong stomachs...and gallbladders... I just started watching a week ago, so lots of video's left...😊
Carrero is also known as Mecicano...bit confusing
Was een paar weken geleden terug in Seattle op familiebezoek en na een paar dagen was ik aan het hunkeren naar een broodje haring en een frikandel speciaal. Oja en naar een bamiehap en frietje joppiesaus en een vietnamese loempia en een lemper en spekkoek. Maar dat was het dan he.
seattle heeft een grote “international district” met heel veel lekker vietnamees eten!
