WHO IS BUNCHARTED?
We're Michelle and Alex, an American expat couple living abroad in the Netherlands. 🇳🇱
In 2020, we quit our jobs to travel the world, and... well, that didn't happen. So in 2022, we decided to make an even BIGGER change: to pack up our lives (and our cats 🐈) and move from Austin, Texas, in the United States, to the Netherlands. Subscribe for new videos like this every week!
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.
And the Mexicano definitely needs a (hot) chilli sauce for optimal flavor.
What a foresight to shape it like the border wall.
@@arjan_speelman Satesaus for me please. Or on a broodje with mayo.
@@RikFTK It's jeugdsentiment for me. When the mexicano came out, my friends and I used to try to outdo each other on the heat level :)
💀
14:20 😂😂 + de Berenklauw definitely needs Satésaus Love your channel btw
Or at least make it a berenklauw with mayo and curry
Yes, it comes standard with sate sauce
@@lokitjeBlasphemy!
@@user-xb2jx9zx1k 🤣 I like it
I love that this snack goes by so many names. It's gehaktbal speciaal where I live, but if you order that in, say, Friesland, you get asquishy pickled cold ball! In other areas it's called a Spoetnik. I do indeed like it best with satésaus, or curry sauce.
Bereklauw or as we say berehap is missing something. Peanut sauce, pindasaus.
No, the bereklauw, gehaktstaaf and mexicano need some curry.
Waar ik woon is dit een spoetnik, en een berenhap is hetzelfde maar pittiger met beslag er omheen.
HELL NAW DAWG Berenklauw eet je met pinda saus@@piepkwiep4312
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.
Those burps have outlawed the Mexicano in many households (not mine)!
gatverdamme, hahaha
Same with the mexicano, you can taste it for a whole day when you burp.
And that's why very few people eat them 🤣
😂
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.
That is necessary for authenticity 😂
The bittergarnituur you can also call "bruine fruitschaal" brown fruit basket!
I've never heard anyone say the in the NL. And I've worked in restaurants and cafetarias for over 15yrs
Oh Lord..... the berenklauw, but with peanut sauce..... SOOO friggin good.
Oh.... and next time, get a kalfskroket to go with your fries.... take a bite off the kroket, and then eat the kroket by dunking the fries in the inside of the kroket...........
Dang..... now I've seen this, I want snackbar food!!!!
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.
I'm addicted to the Mexicano with paprika saus (formally known as Zigeuner saus) and the berenklauw (spoetnik) with curry saus.
Aah is that why I can't find the zigeunersaus anymore! Makes sense
berenklauw of gehaktbal speciaal ook lekker met curry of pindasaus
1:55 Oh man... when you go on a dutch birthday party they probably serve you this later in the evening, like... 11 pm or something. I love them. But even after all these years, I still get my 'gehemelte' and tongue burned when eating a bitterbal.
i would be so happy getting this 😂
*verhemelte
@@BR81-iv6lt ?
@@BR81-iv6lt No need to 'correct' something that's a perfectly normal and correct word ;)
@@dutchdaddygamer i will because its verhemelte.
Great one again guys. tnx
What you really should try is Broodje Taartaar met Uitjes en Curry, real yummi.
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!
The proper translation for 'oude' kaas is 'aged' or 'ripened', not 'old'. Old cheese is cheese that you bought 4 weeks ago and has been drying out in the refrigerator ever since.😏
yes, just yes
freaking love the kaassoufle with aged cheese.
@@ilex471You're right, I've changed it now to aged cheese. Thanks!
But top a kaassouflé with chilisause??? That is killing it, imho....
Sitostick and Ribster used to be among my favorites while growing up.
Love your video's!
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
Couldn't agree more...otherwise it's just a meatball with onions
My favorite is Berenklauw with Peanutsauce. Wouldn't eat it without peanutsauce.
A man of culture 👍
Jullie hadden de bal gehakt uit de jus met mayonaise en satesaus moeten proberen. Heerlijk!
Yum !
My favorite go-to at the snackbar is the Shoarmarol. With garlic sauce of course!🙂
I love the way you stuff things down Michelle's throat..🤣😂😉
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.
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).
stoofvlees/zuurvlees especially when you are outside when it is really cold, like e.g. a winter kermis.
17:14 Nice swaffel
Indeed, 4½ stroopswaffels!
😂@@VanillaLibrarian
Omg....😅
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!
Broodje frikandel speciaal is my go to snack. And a broodje saté (which is one I missed from your video) 😊
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😁
Love your channel
LOL ! The Pikanto Bun Hub screen, so funny !
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.
Yep. Frikandel speciaal is boss!
Boerenbrok met Joppie saus. Perfecte combinatie.
My favs are chicken strips with bbq sauce or the frikandel speciaal.
Try the "grove" frikandel sometime or the Javaanse frikandel (bit spicy) 😊
Kaassoufflee with appelmoes is my favorite snack! And for fries, frietje with satesaus and mayo
wow, dies nieuw met appelmoes, zal hem eens proberen :)
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
The beloved food wall!
I moved to Germany and sometimes really miss the kaas soufflé from the food wall
Bram has the best fries from all snackbar chains. Prove me wrong
@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 🤤
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
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
I love the berenklauw, a meatball with caramelized onion. But I eat it covered in Saté saus.
My favourites are patatje oorlog (of course with unions and good pindasaus) and frikandel speciaal with curry :-) .
17:15 everyday we're swaffeling uhhh shuffling 🎶😅
Awesome video
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.)
Spicy bamischijf and Mexicano are my favorites at the moment, but it wil change in time and then it’s something else.
Try
Berenklauw met pinda saus.
Of
Kaassouffle met pinda saus.
Of
Mexico met hete pinda saus
Heerlijk.
Mijn drie favorieten zijn de rundvleeskroket, frikandel speciaal en kaassoufflé :)
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! 😉✌🏼
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 really mis the sitostick in this one. And the Lihanboutje. (Tho, there aren't a lot of snackbars who have them, anymore) 😊 great vlog!
Yeah, they're kinda niche I think.
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.
Oooooooh! Vlammetjes are my favorite. Bitterballen are a close second.
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
For the next round! Lihanboutje, shoarmarol, smulrol, nasibal, boerenbrok, viandel and a sitostick.
Great video! Maybe you can also try a Shashlik or a Sitostick (formerly called Turkey stick) in the future.
You guys need to try "de Groningse Eierbal"
You should try cheese soufflé with pindasauce!
my order is always 1 large friet speciaal ( less unions) gehakbal speciaal, and a vegetarian bami schijf ( that just a bit spicier )
15:53 in Limburg we called it a spoetnik and eat it with currysauce
Berenklauw is mijn favoriete snack. Elke hap moet met een stukje gehaktbal en ui en satesaus (pindasaus)
Ook een favoriete snack is de loempia speciaal. 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
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
With Bittergarnituur you at least have to drink something with it like beer or so... tastes even better. Stay healthy...
Try the kwekkeboom draadjesvleeskroket !!
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.
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.
bere(n)klauw, meatball with onion slices, fried. To be eaten with peanut sauce, just like the mexicano.
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 😂
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.
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
Would love to see an eierbal sometime! (basically a kind of Scotch egg, popular especially in Groningen)
it’s in our groningen vlog :)
My favorite is a broodje Hamburger with Sate-Sauce and onions.
Thanks for this rating. My favorite Dutch snack is; het Lihanboutje.
The "bruine fruitschaal"! 😂 Goede keuze
You guys should try a sitostick as well!
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.
My favorite is the eierbal. Moet je natuurlijk wel een goeie hebben lol. Sommigen zijn troep, maar gaat niet heel vaak mis
Broodje Kaasoufle with pindasaus you can maybe try sometime, its good
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.
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.
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!
Kalfsvlees kroket is soooo good! You missed the saté kroket btw
The goulashkroket is the best without any sauce. A picanto is really nice with saté sauce.
Also try appelmoes with your fries, it's really good!
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 👍
Broodje bamischijf met (mayo)
try het speciaaltje at febo its really good!!!
Bamischijf with satésaus 😋
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
Schijf means disc, so thats why the Bamischijf is hockeypock shaped.
Try one time patatje oorlog, that’s like patat speciaal but no curry saus but hot peanut saus!
we try it in the fry sauce video on our second channel :)
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!
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.
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!
Love the videos!
Trouwens, ben ik de enige die doorheeft dat Alex een supermodel heeft getrouwd? 😊
Maybe for the next time: a Shoarmarol (with garlic sauce) and Loempia!
over tijd hoor je langzaam de uitspraak van stroopwafel steeds beter worden van video naar video. best grappig
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.
Try a saté croquette from the Febo That's wonderful
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 😂😂
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).
I need saus with almost every snack 🤗
I agree, something magical happens with a frikandel with speciaal sauce on a bun. The whole is more than the sum of the parts. One of my favorite foods is bacon and tomato sandwich with a little mayonnaise, it has something similar going on. Better than a 20 euro steak as far as I am concerned.
