For me Dutch breakfast was always about being able to pick from of lots of things to put on a variety of breads, even sprinkles. Different cheeses, hams, different sausage slices, egg, jam, marmelade, chocolate paste, sandwhich spread. The one nice thing about Dutch breakfast is not the sprinkles, but whatever you feel like eating on bread or crackers that morning.
Yes correct, when I was a small child of about 5-6 years old I was always switching between hagelslag and pindakaas, but I haven't had hagelslag in many decades. Hagelslag in my opinion is for pre-teenage children, but other people think otherwise.
I'm Dutch, but my menu never looked like that. If you consider a 2nd round a traditional Dutch food day is more like this: Breakfast: white bread usually is considered a treat, brown bread or "beschuit" is the staple. Most parents teach their children to eat at least one savory topping for each sweet topping on bread. Other toppings than "hagelslag" can be cheese (of course), different kinds of meats, peanut butter, jam or marmalade. All washed down with a glass of milk, butter milk or thea. 10 o'clock snack: coffee with cake, a cookie or a slice of "ontbijtkoek" (ginger bread) or "Fries suikerbrood" with butter. Others will eat a piece of fruit like an apple or an orange. Lunch: definitely not a kapsalon (that is more a hangover food). An "uitsmijter" would be an option.Other possibilities are a "krentenbol met kaas" or other bunns with a warm or cold savory topping (kroket, gehaktbal or fish), a "tosti" or pancakes and maybe a soup. Afternoon snack: thea (or coffee) with a cookie or a piece of pie (apple pie, tompouce, vlaai or regional delights like Bosche bol or Zeeuwse bolus). Dinner: I've eaten many stampots in my life, but I would pass on the one shown here. There was so much gravy it almost looked like a soup. And if you want to try another stamppot, try "hete bliksem" (hot lightning). For late night snacks all fried food will do. And as for curry sauce with our fries, it's always combined with frietsaus and onions (speciaal). Another option is "oorlog" (sateh sauce with frietsaus and onions). Mayonnaise is not used in the Netherlands anymore because the amount of fat that is required by law to call it mayonnaise; we use frietsaus instead.
Great video! Laughed out loud when Katrina gave Nate his cheese fixes. Protip: never buy the cheapest bread Albert Heijn has. Go to a proper 'bakker' for your bread. These good people get up extremely early every morning to provide customers with delicious fresh, crisp bread of different types, most of them very Dutch. Who knows, a Dutch bakery might even be a good subject for a future video. We do kind of have a bread culture. Keep 'em coming!
They do - but we are pretty sure that the Dutch people around us also ordered stamppot and looked like they were so relieved that they did not have to cook it themselves. 🤗
@@dinahselah6364 I'm also Dutch and here in the local restaurants stampot is on the menu, and yes the locals also order that, here it's not that only toerists order that in the local restaurants. Dus het word hier ook gewoon volop door de dorpelingen gegeten in de locale restaurants, ik denk zelfs dat je weinig toeristen in die restaurantjes tegen zal komen, die weten de locale restaurantjes vaak niet eens te vinden.

Always happy to see people from less fortunate places getting a proper meal :P Hagelslag is not sprinkles, sprinkles are awful sugary decoration thingies, Hagelslag is something you can actually enjoy. Be it on bread, on cake, as coating for a delicious Chocolate Truffel or just straight pouring it out of the package into the mouth.. Tip for a warm summers day. When you go to work make a few sandwiches with Hagelslag. Put it in a sandwich bag (you know, the small plastic bags slightly bigger than a slice of bread) and just take it to work. When lunchtime arives, the chocolate should be melted and soaked into the bread. Absolute the best sanwich you ever had. Also works with fruit hagelslag. The best hagelslag for me are those of "De Ruyter" in their "speciaal" and "royaal" lines. White Chocolade is not chocolade btw. Stroopwafel: She said it correctly,. It is one cookie (wafer) cut in the middle and filled with syrup. They are not two wafers pressed together. And yes, icecream cones (or Oublie hoorn in Dutch) are made from the same type of dough. Just slightly different tartios of sugars and (lack of) spices. Drop: Millions is obviously a bit over the top but currently there are an estimated 400 to 500 different types of Drop available in the Netherlands.About a fifth of those can be found in supermarkets and such, for the rest you need specialty stores. McD's: Not sure if they still sell them but they used to have the McKroket which would have enabled you to eat "Dutch" at McD's Please be careful giving your dog aged cheese, they tend to be saltier than Jong and Jong Belegen and can give your dog kidney issues. They also have issues breaking down milksugars (lactose intolerance) Not saying this to you specifically but to those people that emulate anything they see on youtube and tiktok and such. Kapsalon: Best invention since the bicycle, I am bothered by the dismissal of the greens... they are part of the Kapsalon. And those bottles on the table are there for a reason.. the contents is supposed to go on top of the sla, one is hot sauce/sambal, the other one probably Aadalouse sauce. they will turn the boring sla into a delicious integral part of the Kapsalon. If the yellow bottle contains no Andalouse, I am disappointed in that place. Please don't call Friet/Patat/Patat Friet "French Fries", they are not "French Fries", they are Dutch fries. French fries are bleh, Dutch (and Flemish) fries are the only fries that matter. any Dutch Snackbar/Cafetaria selling french fries as Patat/Friet/Patat Friet (totally depending on region) should be forced to move to another country with less standards. I am old, currysauce is not where you want to be, especially not on it's own (as part of the Speciaal... meh.. if you isnist) The best versions are Speciaal (old school= Ketchup/Mayo/Onion, Modern is Curry/Mayo/Onion. So yes Katrina, I am obviously old school so very much on team Ketchup, a hill I am prepared to die on), Oorlog = Peanutsauce/Mayo/Onions (onions are optional) and finally Patatje Stoofvlees (beef stew fries). Sadly that one isn't available everywhere. STOP CALLING THEM FRENCH AAAAARGH :P You really have to love cheese to commit to that bit lol. 14:59 Hey man, you didn't butcher the ij, that is a win. I give the pronunciation an 8 out of 10 wait... you can make money by making stamppotten? Amazing. iIt is like the cheapest thing you can make, the owners are laughing all the way to the bank every day. Great video, enjoyed this very much. As it is the first I ever saw from your channel it is a great first impression so I guess I am forced to sub and like.
Bread is like the bottom of a pizza: it will make or break the food. Don't get cheap on it, don't buy bread at the supermarket. Find a good bakery, it is SOOO much better.
Oh nooooo! 😱 When the cheese-soufflé junkie and the Old Amsterdam cheesehead discover the Old Amsterdam bitterballen and they also go in the Airfryer, there's no way back! 🤷♂️🤪✌🏼
@@pietergreveling Personally would never go for old amsterdam cheese, if you want real Dutch cheese you got to a farm where they sell theire own cheese from the cows.
You should also try a slice of Fries suikerbrood (Frisian sugar bread) with butter! The loaf should be very sticky on the outside and they sell a pretty good one at AH! 😋✌🏼
No self-respecting Dutchie would eat that square Casino "bread", the only time we would use it is for making a Tostie and even then we try to avoid it and use real bread! 😬 I never eat toast with Hagelslag, if i wanna have chocolate on warm toast i use Chocoladepasta, Hazelnootpasta (Hazelnut spread) or Nutella, it's much beter and the hagelslag is for the crunch, not for melting. 😉 If you wanna have a good Dutch lunch, you should try a 12 Uurtje (12 O'clock)! 👍🏻 An 12 Uurtje are three slices of bread with butter, one slice with ham, cheese and a fried egg sunny side up (Spiegelei), one with a scoop of Russian salad (Huzarensalade) and one with a Croquette and mustard! 😋 And the good ones also serve it with a small cup of soup! 👌🏼 By the way, with this diet you won't get any taller, only wider! 🙄🤭 Fun fact; French toast is called Wentelteefje in Dutch and literally translated into English it means Small-Turning-Bitch (Wentel-Teef-Je)! 🤪🤣 So you didn't really fail! ✌🏼
I am Dutch and I wonder why the USA has so many very overweight people if your food is so healthy. All those steaks and fastfood..... And did you know we all live in windmills and walk on wooden shoes? 😂
Just a question: why did you move to The Netherlands? Just straight from the shoulder, like the Dutch. The windmills, the tulips, the cheese, the clogs, the bitterballen, the stroopwafels? Suspicious. As far as I can see, you can do the same things where you came from.
The best way to eat hagelslag or vlokken is to eat them on brown bread with a knife and fork. Just cut out little pieces of the slice of bread, put your fork in on of the pieces and then put it in your mouth. That way you will not make a mess.
Great video. Your pronunciation of 't Heemelrijck was pretty good. I wouldn't complain as a dutch guy. But I have to ask, were you guys okay the day after filming this video? Or did you film it over three separate days? Because for lunch, afternoon snack and dinner, you chose three meals that I could classify in the dinner category. Well, the french fries with a single snack could be lunch, but it is still a meal, not something I would get for an afternoon snack though. The stroopwafel or drop is more for the afternoon snack. Some advice with curry. Personally I like it, but I do find the taste a bit to strong. I often would mix it with Frietsaus to soften the taste a bit. The reason why dutch people don''t put ketchup on their fries, probably has to do with that ketchup is mostly associated with Italian food like macaroni or spaghetti.
When you're in the Netherlands, always remember: always eat your breakfast with brown bread with butter and Hagelslag. A sweaty brown sandwich with butter and cheese for lunch on hot days are amazing. And uhh... PANCAKES ARE DINNER! 💀
@@nateandkatrinadotheworld oke yes, I mean a other white bread you can use also ...than the kind you are using in the video, has a dry and bad taste...imo
The only times I buy square white bread it's for either a "tosti" (grilled ham/cheese sandwich). an "uitsmijter" (fried egg sandwich, usually with ham or cheese beneath the eggs), or another egg-based sandwich (omelette of scrambled eggs)
Didn't know you have a Labrador. What a beauty 😍😍 Question to you guys because you have a dog, Do you notice, the Netherlands is the most friendly country for dogs? The Netherlands is only country without stray dogs. Maybe you can make a video about it how your experience is.😊
My favorite hagelslag is puur. Tijger bread instead of basic white. I used to toast it but I was told by Dutchies I was doing it wrong. I really thought it should be warm to melt the sprinkles a bit, but after having it the Dutch way with cold butter and soft bread, I have never looked back. They know how to do it!
I am Dutch and don't eat 90% of the stuff you show. Roggenbrood (ryebread) , oats, musli, yoghurt, brown bread with cheese, mashed potato with raw kale etc. There are many healthy Dutch options. Also if you eat hagelslag it should be pure for stronger taste ;) PS I ate Dutch stroopwaffel which was served on an American plane!
The first 5 things you mentioned aren't dutch lmao. Dutch food is the fried snacks, stroopeaffles, hageslag and stampot of varrying kinds. We don't have a ton of oir own food because we adopted food from other places a lot.
9:39 - "You don't put lettuce or tomato on your burgers either". What, what? Who doesn't do that? Oh yeah, the guy that actually eats black licorice. 🤣
We had both growing up in Canada with pure dutch parents chocolate and the pink ones, i also would put Speculassje cookies in between two slices of white bread as a sandwich. Stroppe waffles we still buy and i am in my 60's. My kids loved them as the chocolate hail on bread. I couldn't do the double salt licorice, still to this day. We grew up with soup for every meal, my Mom made the best dutch soup and it was a staple in our home throughout the year even in our hot Canadian summers. We also never had cheddar cheese in our home it was always Gouda cheese, and i love it, i don't buy it too much now because of the cost. But it is hands down my favourite cheese. Mom always had beschuit in the house its like round toast bread and she would put gouda cheese and chocolate hagelslag on it. Frites met is the best with the dutch mayo and bitter balls and croquettes with mustard, i miss those for sure. We also had stampot with sausage on top in the winter. Oh you are killing me with all these dutch things and looking at the menu. Mom also made her famous red cabbage in a sweet and sour sauce
For me, Stroopwaffels and black liquorice might actually be on diametric opposites of the scale. Stroppwaffels are divine but don't have words for how minging black liquorice is.
I like your style of vlogging 👍👍and i am surprised you liked the stamppot zuurkool, bc it has a bit of extreme taste, I guess. Maybe you could take it to a more extreme level, like trying haring, bloedworst, karnemelk, nagelkaar, hachee, hete bliksem, kwark, spruitjes, zure zult. All topical Dutch...😂
I have never seen a Dutch person order a stampot in a restaurant. Most Dutch people eat a lot of international food; both when going out and at home. Our own cuisine is - as you'd say in Dutch - not something to write home about.
Dan heb je nooit in een echt local Restaurant gegeten zeker daar hebben ze vaak dagstampotten en daar zitten over het algemeen dorpelingen te eten dus gewoon Nederlanders die daar stampot eten.
@@nateandkatrinadotheworldYes you can be right, because here the locals eat in the local restaurants and there is mostly also stampot on the menu. I have to say most stamppots are only eaten in winter.
Old Amsterdam cheese is... a bit fake. It isn't an old brand and if I understood correctly they age the cheese artificially (i.e. not by just letting it ripen of a shelf)
It’s really fun to see your ‘struggles’. Of course y’all know, the food in Holland has much more and healthier variations. What you had for breakfast, snacks, lunch and so on is like going to a fast food restaurant. Like me when I’m in the USA, I won’t go to the fast food stores, never ever. So try the real Dutch cuisine, it’ll suprise you!
I'm Dutch, but I had never heard of kapsalon, which means that it's a recent invention as I was living abroad. The snacks are not snacks but candy, but I think you know that, 😂 kroket might have been better. (Oh, you did that next. Bitterballen is party food!)
It was invented in Rotterdam Delfshaven a few decades ago. It's a whole meal (1800 calories), so you shouldn't eat it for lunch. It has become very popular fast and is spreading to many countries with close ties to the Netherlands.
Lol, I used to live there in the neighborhood. The snackbar across the street from where you were eating has way better fries. Like way better! Oh wait, you just told that, hahahaha! Yes I am typing this while watching.
@@nateandkatrinadotheworld I guess. I mentioned it because a number of my Dutch friends and neighbors had it on their breakfast table. I grew to treasure it.
So glad i found this channel😊love the vibe ☀️been to Amsterdam 6 times..not once have i seen those sprinkles on bread lol is it a kids breakfast? I remember continental breakfast stuff,febo i remember the first night i got a really spicy kebab on warmoestraat warmed me up❄️ wonder if its still there
hmm most people eat the standard things from the dutch food, but i never see them eat things like: limburgse zuurvlees,groninger mosterdsoep zeeuwse bolus or other regional dishes (exept kruutmoes because that looks like vomit) maybe a idea to try that things for once. as desert you can eat haagse bluf and as little snacks things like Arnhemse meisjes, dikkoek or friese dumkes
nice video guys next time try a fricandel speciaal and a bereklauw pinda real dutch snackfood and you can order at almost every snackbar patat speciaal with curry or ketchup you have to tell them wat you want
You like licorice? Then I have to point out to you that you are no longer American anymore , I'm sorry, but you are now ours, you are Dutch now and there is no way back...
Hoop dat jullie dit kunnen vertalen 😉 Mijn echte nederlandse ontbijt zou zijn een beschuitje met hagelsag of kaas of jam. Een beschuitje is ook iets typisch Nederlands. En dan een goed glas melk erbij of een yoghurtdrink. Lunch dan wel iets van een broodje maar dan voorgesmeerd met een dun laagje boter en dan kass of een vleeswaren of inderdaad een hagelslag of vlokken of pindakaas en dan een ander broodje er boven op en dan doormidden gesneden. Avond eten wat inderdaad echt Nederlands is is een stamppot of een simpele AVG (Aardappel, Vlees (vleesvervanger), Groente) De tussendoortjes zat ik ook nog aan de sultana en liga koekjes te denken. Vooral de vierkante liga met rozijnen/krenten of die vierkante met melk in het midden (goedkope versies hebben ze vaak in het rond)(de nederlanders weten denk ik wel welke ik bedoel).
Most of this is not true, I'm dutch, and I never eat sweet things at breakfast. Maybe some kids do, and my daughters also never eat sweets at breakfast. The rest of what I saw in this report is "NOT TYPICAL DUTCH".
Great video! I had lots of fun watching this. I feel like this was a bit more pre-prepared and scripted? But that is a good thing. All the different outfits tells this was not shot in one day. I loooooove the blue 't IJ sweater in the first minutes. "Cheese Me" is not something I'm going to get out of my mind soon. Our small country doesn't have a rich culinary history and our menu's are influenced by many other countries. Sometimes they occupied us, sometimes we colonized them. I can recommend an Indonesian Rijsttafel. It is both Indonesian and Dutch. But hey, cudos to the both of you ordering things you would not order normally but you do it anyway just for us, your followers your believers. Keep it up! 👍👍👍
You guys are so funny, you're video always make me laugh Love it ...and i only eat ketchup on my fries, i prefer ketchup over Mayo, patatje oorlog, or curry
What?! That is weird... Who to heck would eat bread like that 🤢🤮. Also there propably is better breads in Netherlands that people normaly eats (at least i guess so). I don´t know or havent seen that in anywhere else in Europe. Remainds of American Pop tarts that looks disgusting too.
@@nateandkatrinadotheworld I have tasted some flavor once about 25 years ago, but i don´t remember the flavor at all. My sister brought few items when she camed back from Cincinnati Ohio, where she were AuPair for a year. Mac & Cheese was one and Jello too (red, but no idea for the flavor). If there was something else too, i don´t remember at all.
You visit a restaurant named Sinbad… where in your mind does that not tell you the food aint Dutch? If that name does not ring a bell look at the tiles… they are anything but Dutch and so is the food..
“Everything is fried….” …..that’s what Americans do all the time right?! It’s weird that you make the dutch ridiculous, because what you are eating is not typically what dutch are eating 😢
For me Dutch breakfast was always about being able to pick from of lots of things to put on a variety of breads, even sprinkles. Different cheeses, hams, different sausage slices, egg, jam, marmelade, chocolate paste, sandwhich spread. The one nice thing about Dutch breakfast is not the sprinkles, but whatever you feel like eating on bread or crackers that morning.

I completely agree, I would start with cheese or some kind of meat.
Yes correct, when I was a small child of about 5-6 years old I was always switching between hagelslag and pindakaas, but I haven't had hagelslag in many decades. Hagelslag in my opinion is for pre-teenage children, but other people think otherwise.

As Russian, we would definitely survive eating only kibbeling, fries and stroopwafels 🙌😋🤌 hugs from Almere 🏡
Haha as Americans, we barely survived. 😆 Thanks for watching!

Nice! Thanks for the tips!
@@pietergreveling Personally would never go for old amsterdam cheese, if you want real Dutch cheese you got to a farm where they sell theire own cheese from the cows.
The Dutch mayonnaise is the best!!! Special on your friet.
We will leave the mayo for you! 🫶🏻
Belgian sauces, including mayonaisses are better. They innovated the whole sauce business in the last 50 years.
You should also try a slice of Fries suikerbrood (Frisian sugar bread) with butter! The loaf should be very sticky on the outside and they sell a pretty good one at AH! 😋✌🏼

An 12 Uurtje are three slices of bread with butter, one slice with ham, cheese and a fried egg sunny side up (Spiegelei), one with a scoop of Russian salad (Huzarensalade) and one with a Croquette and mustard! 😋 And the good ones also serve it with a small cup of soup! 👌🏼

Good tips! Thanks for watching!
Great video. Your pronunciation of 't Heemelrijck was pretty good. I wouldn't complain as a dutch guy. But I have to ask, were you guys okay the day after filming this video? Or did you film it over three separate days? Because for lunch, afternoon snack and dinner, you chose three meals that I could classify in the dinner category. Well, the french fries with a single snack could be lunch, but it is still a meal, not something I would get for an afternoon snack though. The stroopwafel or drop is more for the afternoon snack.
Some advice with curry. Personally I like it, but I do find the taste a bit to strong. I often would mix it with Frietsaus to soften the taste a bit. The reason why dutch people don''t put ketchup on their fries, probably has to do with that ketchup is mostly associated with Italian food like macaroni or spaghetti.
When you're in the Netherlands, always remember: always eat your breakfast with brown bread with butter and Hagelslag. A sweaty brown sandwich with butter and cheese for lunch on hot days are amazing. And uhh... PANCAKES ARE DINNER! 💀
Carbs on carbs on carbs. Yummmmm!
@@nateandkatrinadotheworld dutch cheese halfway melted on a sandwich is life 😂
the wrong bread ...thats for toasted bread, I use a brown tarwe bread with pure choco springels if a eat hagelslag
Nice! We have been told by many Dutch people that white bread is their preference. To each their own! 🫶🏻
@@nateandkatrinadotheworld oke yes, I mean a other white bread you can use also ...than the kind you are using in the video, has a dry and bad taste...imo
The only times I buy square white bread it's for either a "tosti" (grilled ham/cheese sandwich). an "uitsmijter" (fried egg sandwich, usually with ham or cheese beneath the eggs), or another egg-based sandwich (omelette of scrambled eggs)
@@nateandkatrinadotheworld Yes white bread from a real bakery.
@@roykliffen9674 Yes, he bought the tosti-bread from AH.
LOL i think you are the first American i see who loves our drop
😂 Nate is obsessed! Thanks for watching!
Breakfast brown bread and cheese.
Yum! 😋
top Video again, fries goes the best with sate saus, "patatje oorlog " warfries, with sate saus mayo and unions
We feel like every time we eat fries, there’s a new sauce that we have to try! 😂 Thanks for watching!
@@nateandkatrinadotheworld Saté really is good on fries. It's also quit common.
Didn't know you have a Labrador. What a beauty 😍😍 Question to you guys because you have a dog, Do you notice, the Netherlands is the most friendly country for dogs? The Netherlands is only country without stray dogs. Maybe you can make a video about it how your experience is.😊
Thank you! Our dog is extremely happy here and it is very dog friendly.
Thesis really not what we Dutch eat today. It gives a wrong impression of the Dutch. Not realistic
Thanks for watching and the feedback! 👍🏻
BTW the French toast is also a Dutch thing, we call them here Wentelteefjes
We thought that it might be but whenever we say FRENCH fries, we get attacked. 😂 So we were trying to be cautious. Thanks for watching!
You need to eat the bitterbals with mustard. ;)
My favorite hagelslag is puur. Tijger bread instead of basic white. I used to toast it but I was told by Dutchies I was doing it wrong. I really thought it should be warm to melt the sprinkles a bit, but after having it the Dutch way with cold butter and soft bread, I have never looked back. They know how to do it!
Everyone seems to have their own preference when it comes to the “proper” way to prepare your hagelslag. 🤷🏼♀️ To each their own!
That bag of shredded cheese! 😂 "cheese me!" 😂 I love your video's. I enjoy watching them so much. Thank you for making them❤
I am Dutch and don't eat 90% of the stuff you show. Roggenbrood (ryebread) , oats, musli, yoghurt, brown bread with cheese, mashed potato with raw kale etc. There are many healthy Dutch options. Also if you eat hagelslag it should be pure for stronger taste ;) PS I ate Dutch stroopwaffel which was served on an American plane!
The first 5 things you mentioned aren't dutch lmao. Dutch food is the fried snacks, stroopeaffles, hageslag and stampot of varrying kinds. We don't have a ton of oir own food because we adopted food from other places a lot.
Love you guys! Enjoy - from New York!
Thanks so much!
Next time try Surinamese food
Next time!
9:39 - "You don't put lettuce or tomato on your burgers either". What, what? Who doesn't do that? Oh yeah, the guy that actually eats black licorice. 🤣
Nate had a very “refined” palate. 😂😂
Tbh you can not compare the american mayo with the dutch one, yours is more sour then ours.
We will pass on both of them. 😂
We had both growing up in Canada with pure dutch parents chocolate and the pink ones, i also would put Speculassje cookies in between two slices of white bread as a sandwich. Stroppe waffles we still buy and i am in my 60's. My kids loved them as the chocolate hail on bread. I couldn't do the double salt licorice, still to this day. We grew up with soup for every meal, my Mom made the best dutch soup and it was a staple in our home throughout the year even in our hot Canadian summers. We also never had cheddar cheese in our home it was always Gouda cheese, and i love it, i don't buy it too much now because of the cost. But it is hands down my favourite cheese. Mom always had beschuit in the house its like round toast bread and she would put gouda cheese and chocolate hagelslag on it. Frites met is the best with the dutch mayo and bitter balls and croquettes with mustard, i miss those for sure. We also had stampot with sausage on top in the winter. Oh you are killing me with all these dutch things and looking at the menu. Mom also made her famous red cabbage in a sweet and sour sauce
For me, Stroopwaffels and black liquorice might actually be on diametric opposites of the scale. Stroppwaffels are divine but don't have words for how minging black liquorice is.
Katrina would 100% agree with you. Thanks for watching!
The stick to your ribs meal was the "kapsalon!".
Correct. 👍
Am glad you both survived 😁
Phew. It was touch and go there for a minute. 😜
I like your style of vlogging 👍👍and i am surprised you liked the stamppot zuurkool, bc it has a bit of extreme taste, I guess. Maybe you could take it to a more extreme level, like trying haring, bloedworst, karnemelk, nagelkaar, hachee, hete bliksem, kwark, spruitjes, zure zult. All topical Dutch...😂
Thanks for the compliment and for watching! It’s going to be a while before we can think about “extreme” Dutch cuisine. 😂😂
I have never seen a Dutch person order a stampot in a restaurant. Most Dutch people eat a lot of international food; both when going out and at home. Our own cuisine is - as you'd say in Dutch - not something to write home about.
"stampot"
Me neither.
I did order a stamppot once though.
🤭
Pretty sure there were Dutch people in the restaurant eating stamppot and they seemed to be enjoying themselves. Thanks for watching! 🙌🏻
Dan heb je nooit in een echt local Restaurant gegeten zeker daar hebben ze vaak dagstampotten en daar zitten over het algemeen dorpelingen te eten dus gewoon Nederlanders die daar stampot eten.
@@nateandkatrinadotheworldYes you can be right, because here the locals eat in the local restaurants and there is mostly also stampot on the menu. I have to say most stamppots are only eaten in winter.
Bitterballen must be eaten with good mustard!
Yes and its fun to see if they put a whole bitterbal at once in theorie mouth without to let it cool down. You should film that , so funny 😅
Old Amsterdam cheese is... a bit fake. It isn't an old brand and if I understood correctly they age the cheese artificially (i.e. not by just letting it ripen of a shelf)
Yes, that's true. It's not old cheese. They use an additive that speeds up the ripening. It's also not Amsterdammer cheese... it's a Gouda cheese.
Still pretty darn tasty if you ask us! ✌🏻
Yum! 😋
It’s really fun to see your ‘struggles’. Of course y’all know, the food in Holland has much more and healthier variations.
What you had for breakfast, snacks, lunch and so on is like going to a fast food restaurant.
Like me when I’m in the USA, I won’t go to the fast food stores, never ever.
So try the real Dutch cuisine, it’ll suprise you!
I'm Dutch, but I had never heard of kapsalon, which means that it's a recent invention as I was living abroad. The snacks are not snacks but candy, but I think you know that, 😂 kroket might have been better. (Oh, you did that next. Bitterballen is party food!)
It was invented in Rotterdam Delfshaven a few decades ago. It's a whole meal (1800 calories), so you shouldn't eat it for lunch. It has become very popular fast and is spreading to many countries with close ties to the Netherlands.
You need to fold your boterham so the hagelslag stays inside. Also handy when you're running late, you can just take your folded boterham and go.
Friet met mayonaise > Curry, ketchup, Pindasaus, stoofvlees and all other combinations :D.
Love Amsterdam and especially the fritjes!!!!! Blessings and happy thoughts!🤳😇🙏⛲🌈👍🎭🙆
Lol, I used to live there in the neighborhood. The snackbar across the street from where you were eating has way better fries. Like way better! Oh wait, you just told that, hahahaha! Yes I am typing this while watching.
Haha! Thanks for watching!
No white bread here, only whole wheat bread.
edit: you two fit in the category "prettig gestoord"
Iemand Nederland
👇
I never took a liking to those sprinkles.
I do endorse the Dutch love of Nutella, salmon, poffertjes, rijsttafel and 🍺.
Nutella is much more of a German thing.
We like the sprinkles more than we thought we would! 🙊 Thanks for watching!
Isn’t Nutella technically Italian? 🤔
@@nateandkatrinadotheworld I guess. I mentioned it because a number of my Dutch friends and neighbors had it on their breakfast table.
I grew to treasure it.
So glad i found this channel😊love the vibe ☀️been to Amsterdam 6 times..not once have i seen those sprinkles on bread lol is it a kids breakfast? I remember continental breakfast stuff,febo i remember the first night i got a really spicy kebab on warmoestraat warmed me up❄️ wonder if its still there
Welcome aboard!
No Dutch people, I know of eat white bread from the supermarket.
Hmmmm... somebody must be! Thanks for watching!
Effe een kapsalon als lunch, moet kunnen!
Zij hebben het gedeeld.
Wow, you are the first foreigner on RUclips who likes drop 👍
you guys tested Pindasaus already?
Scoop the bitterbal (or a kroket) out with the fries, very nice!
Nice! Thanks for the tip!
hmm most people eat the standard things from the dutch food, but i never see them eat things like: limburgse zuurvlees,groninger mosterdsoep zeeuwse bolus or other regional dishes (exept kruutmoes because that looks like vomit) maybe a idea to try that things for once. as desert you can eat haagse bluf and as little snacks things like Arnhemse meisjes, dikkoek or friese dumkes
American couple go 24hrs without high-fructose corn syrup, but are still not Dutch enough to bring an umbrella. Thumbs up!
Ha - not using an umbrella actually makes us MORE Dutch. Nobody uses those things here. 😂
As a dutchman stampot is my favorite food approved
love the sweater
Thank you! 😊
Must have been a tough survival with all the actually safe to eat food 😅
nice video guys next time try a fricandel speciaal and a bereklauw pinda real dutch snackfood and you can order at almost every snackbar patat speciaal with curry or ketchup you have to tell them wat you want
Nice! Thanks for the recommendations and for watching!
You like licorice? Then I have to point out to you that you are no longer American anymore , I'm sorry, but you are now ours, you are Dutch now and there is no way back...
Oh no, it’s finally happened! 🤫 Thanks for watching!
It looks peaceful there.
Wrong bread, its cassino bread, or a tosti bread, put cheese and ham between and than in a tosti apparate
i eat my 'friet' with mayo, mayo/curry, mayo/satesaus, mayo/goulash or mayo/stoofvlees, yes always mayo 😄(and never ketchup)
Agree to disagree! #teamketchup Thanks for watching!
Try BROODJE rookworst and GEBAKKEN Mosselen 😮😅😊
milk chocolate flakes on a , I don't know the English word but in Dutch it's called beschuit.
We like those! They don’t really translate to English… it’s like a pre-toasted toast!
As immigrants you try Dutch food. That’s great, but don’t eat our cats and dogs please !!! Hahahahaha
Haha. We just pet the cats and dogs. ✌️
Hoop dat jullie dit kunnen vertalen 😉
Mijn echte nederlandse ontbijt zou zijn een beschuitje met hagelsag of kaas of jam. Een beschuitje is ook iets typisch Nederlands. En dan een goed glas melk erbij of een yoghurtdrink.
Lunch dan wel iets van een broodje maar dan voorgesmeerd met een dun laagje boter en dan kass of een vleeswaren of inderdaad een hagelslag of vlokken of pindakaas en dan een ander broodje er boven op en dan doormidden gesneden.
Avond eten wat inderdaad echt Nederlands is is een stamppot of een simpele AVG (Aardappel, Vlees (vleesvervanger), Groente)
De tussendoortjes zat ik ook nog aan de sultana en liga koekjes te denken. Vooral de vierkante liga met rozijnen/krenten of die vierkante met melk in het midden (goedkope versies hebben ze vaak in het rond)(de nederlanders weten denk ik wel welke ik bedoel).
Thanks for the recommendations! 🫶🏻
Most of this is not true, I'm dutch, and I never eat sweet things at breakfast. Maybe some kids do, and my daughters also never eat sweets at breakfast. The rest of what I saw in this report is "NOT TYPICAL DUTCH".
✌️
Great video! I had lots of fun watching this. I feel like this was a bit more pre-prepared and scripted? But that is a good thing. All the different outfits tells this was not shot in one day. I loooooove the blue 't IJ sweater in the first minutes. "Cheese Me" is not something I'm going to get out of my mind soon.
Our small country doesn't have a rich culinary history and our menu's are influenced by many other countries. Sometimes they occupied us, sometimes we colonized them. I can recommend an Indonesian Rijsttafel. It is both Indonesian and Dutch. But hey, cudos to the both of you ordering things you would not order normally but you do it anyway just for us, your followers your believers. Keep it up! 👍👍👍
Thanks for watching, Jan! I don’t think Nate is going to eat cheese again for a while. 😂
Every channel uses hagelslag etc for breakfast while our typical Dutch meats to put on bread are also very good.
Yes they are. Thanks for watching!
they forgot the "Gestampte Muisjes" (Crushed Mouse)
You guys are so funny, you're video always make me laugh Love it ...and i only eat ketchup on my fries, i prefer ketchup over Mayo, patatje oorlog, or curry
Thank you! #teamketchup all the way! 💪🏻
You live in the bos en lommer neighbourhood in Amsterdam?
We are close to Olympic Stadium.
@@nateandkatrinadotheworldalright near mina Kruzeman Street maybe? I was born and raised in Amsterdam but I'm away for more than 35 years
Oh my gosh! How are they thin?
Bicycles. 🚴
Good question.
so you're not a documentary channel or a Dutch PBS affiliate, lol, now it makes sense.
What?! That is weird... Who to heck would eat bread like that 🤢🤮. Also there propably is better breads in Netherlands that people normaly eats (at least i guess so). I don´t know or havent seen that in anywhere else in Europe. Remainds of American Pop tarts that looks disgusting too.
Thanks for watching. (And strawberry Pop Tarts are AMAZZZING!) 🫶🏻
@@nateandkatrinadotheworld I have tasted some flavor once about 25 years ago, but i don´t remember the flavor at all. My sister brought few items when she camed back from Cincinnati Ohio, where she were AuPair for a year.
Mac & Cheese was one and Jello too (red, but no idea for the flavor). If there was something else too, i don´t remember at all.
He bought the wrong bread. This one is used for making tosties.
What is Thea please ?
You visit a restaurant named Sinbad… where in your mind does that not tell you the food aint Dutch? If that name does not ring a bell look at the tiles… they are anything but Dutch and so is the food..
“Everything is fried….” …..that’s what Americans do all the time right?! It’s weird that you make the dutch ridiculous, because what you are eating is not typically what dutch are eating 😢
With all that chocolate it probably still has less sugar in it then american bread
This was not the ultimate test. You did not try the Dutch haring.......
That's a test that we would fail.
You need to get your fries with Satesaus, much better than curry or ketchup
2:28 i always fold my bread so the toppings dont fall off😅
It just kind of makes sense! Thanks for watching!
Bitterballen are so delicious! You're only Dutch if you like bitterballen😂
13:00 try pindasaus, it's the best!
I can tell you, lots of food in America are forbidden in Europe. Want to know why? You can find all the information on RUclips ✌️🇳🇱
Please call it patat, or fries. Not "french" fries. French fries are what we have at mc donald. They are thinner then our patat.
These two Americans for sure never were invited by real Dutch people. They spend a day on food kids would choose for a day...
Why does nobody ever pay attention to fruits ? ;)
Because fruits would make a pretty boring video. 😂😂
@@nateandkatrinadotheworld Depends on how it's used ;p
Next time wen you order fries ask for a special whit curry that's the best way to eat and yea were not a big fan of ketchup XD
Next time! Thanks for watching!
Now, that’s not breakfast for me, some nice fresh or toasted whole meal bread with real butter or not and some nice tasty cheese on it. So much better
Mmmmmmm.
I'm thinking about diabetes... Oh my... 😂
Ooof. Good thing it was only 24 hours.
If you are americans than you should not complain of dutch food. Never in my life gave I had such gruesome food as in the USA.
Ketchup just tastes horrible...
Joppie sauce is my go to on fries if they have it. Otherwise "Oorlog" (peanut sauce + mayonnaise + onions). 😋
Fries=friet/patat the thin fries are called francs fries and it’s from france
K love u bye❤
