- Trying "American" Food According to The Netherlands
What do you think of when you think of American food? In The Netherlands, the supermarket Lidl puts together a full "American" week every few months where they highlight food from the United States. We wanted to give these items a try to see if they really felt American or not. We're sharing our honest thoughts- the good, the bad, and the downright disgusting. What items will you try during the next American week at Lidl?

Only watched the thumbnail, but lol, I already know this is going to be fantastic 😂😂😂
Eric and I laughed so hard at your descriptions of the food and the facial expressions you made😂😂. Great video T&T❤❤
Aww, thank you guys, you’re the best!
Thank you T&T for this video. Tracy your facial expressions are hilarious😄 ! Did you have prior knowledge😄 ? You made me laugh hard several times😄 😄. Thank you !!! This video should be nominated for a RUclips Oscar.
You 2 are so funny.thank you for this. It put a smile on my face
We missed you for a while.good to see you back,....I loved the way you tried to stay postive, when it was the "Bucket"'s turn at 21.16 m.hahaha,......the facial expressions said it all.👍😄😉
Aww thank you! Travis made a brief surprise trip to Texas, so we took the week off. Appreciate you watching!
👍😉@@TAndTGoDutch
You guys are the best/funniest food tasters! 👍👍
Good Morning Guys
I was in stiches about this video. I haven't laughed so much in a long time. The Lime and Pepper wrap and the milkshakes. ROFL!!!! 24:40 Don't do that LOL!!! Been watching a lot of your content back to back. Love the different videos and what to expect and think off when relocating to NLD.
We’re so glad you enjoyed watching. Thank you so much for your kind comments!
As an English man living here in the Netherlands I was so pleased to see British week a few years ago in lidl until I tried some of the stuff on offer 😀. So far from english it's funny fish and chips in a bag , full English breakfast on a pizza (wtf) tin of baked beans 3 times more expensive than lidl own beans . I've tried the so called thick milkshake from American week and my thought was exactly melted ice cream ... love your content keep it up ... find the time to visit kampen one day lovely city
English breakfast on pizza?! So strange. We’ve heard the one thing worth purchasing during the British week is the English Cheddar, but we haven’t taken the plunge.
I've had so much fun with this one, really enjoyed it!! I had the same response as Tammy and Eric, laughing out loud, even hitting the table... I had that kind of milkshakes when I was a kid and it was something new, the fun was really in shaking them, the taste was awfully sweet... I don't know about lidl, but at Albert Heijn the American pancakes are nice, for the rest I wouldn't buy anything in a supermarket that says 'American', it's mostly just a commercial thing, trying to sell cheap, easy to produce food, just words... The stuff sold has mostly nothing to do with America at all... And I'm still smiling remembering your faces with the milkshakes, so thank you!! Also for pointing me to an affordable maple syrup ;)
Hello,
The liquid of the hot dogs is a kind of brine to warm up the sausages. By the way, i love watching your vlogs! And i loved your vlog when you both were in my hometown Tilburg. Do you like funfairs? Then you have to come to biggest funfair in the Benelux in july. Wishing you all the best!
Thank you so much Ron! We haven’t been to a funfair in The Netherlands yet, perhaps we’ll have to check it out!
Tobasco said "did someone say bacon". I loved how he ran up when you were talking about it.
He’s too smart sometimes, so cute! He knows when bacon is around, but he goes crazy whenever we make eggs. He absolutely loves them.
Hotdogs are frankfurters. They changed the name to hotdogs during WW1 because they were named after Frankfurt, which is of course a German city and Germany was the enemy back then. They forgot to change the name of hamburgers though, which are of course named after Hamburg, another German city. Maybe that’s why it got shortened to burgers.
Freedom fries
Lidl...nice shop, but you might impulse-buy a canoe so watch it ;) The beer and the bread are really good, and the old gouda too. And affordable.
Dang, you forgot the sauerkraut, on the hotdog, you can buy that at Lidl too... I'd suggest the pack with the 'spicy' kind....
That probably would have made it taste much better! We’ll look for that on our next shopping trip.
Hilarious, loved it. So sorry for you, having to chomp through the Germanized Euro versions of your native foods. My dream holiday is a roadtrip through the USA, stopping at the traditional diners with proper burgers and milkshakes and all the typical American food you imagine there. Also, I have never found cheesecake over here that was as good as the New York style ones I had in New York. And I bet crabcakes will also be a disappointment on this side of the Atlantic 😄
We like the weeks that Lidl do some of the country things: Greek, Spanish, Italian and American. To be honest, from the greek week we only buy the olive oil (when they have the 2 liter can!) and the Greek beer Mythos. From Spain we like the tortilla de patata española. From Italy mostly the pasta stuff and from the American things... ehm, something woth chicken and offcourse the maple syrup!
And yes, they als do have German, Belgium, French weeks and a lot more, like Mexican and some more I even can't remember.
But always: read the package before buying. O, and Oreo... yummi!
Great tip on the olive oil! There are definitely some gems, but you really have to look.
Sometimes Aldi has a special week. Anyway in the past they had fi a Spanish week or a Greek week etcetera. I miss their French week when they had those special little pots with pateé which I love. Nowadays I can only get them at big Albert Hein for a much dearer price.
Ooh interesting! Lidl sometimes has a French week too.
I live in the USA and have not seen or heard of any of those things you guys bought. Hot dogs do not come in jars, they come in plastic packages and ribs do not come in a box, they come in plastic packages as well that are vacuum packed.
So bizarre compared to what we’re used to after living in the US for 30 plus years. The waffles and the syrup were probably the closed thing to Americana.
I never buy products of their special week stuff. The few times I tried it, it wasn't that great. And if I did like it, I had to wait a half year or so for it to be available again. So I skip that.
Totally agree. We stock up on the maple syrup during American week, and that’s about it.
No American toaster cakes? They have those sometimes at the Aldi. My kids love those. They are like American pancakes you just put in the toaster. Otgerwise American week is horrible, just buy the maple syrup and forget the rest LOL
Lol, agreed!
I never understood how someone came up with the idea of a hamburger prepared in a microwave would be a good thing, like what was this person thinking ...
So bizarre, and disgusting!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I would run a mile! Or rather I always run like the wind, when I see these products. Gross! Eeeew. But such a funny video, though! I l.o.l. -ed truly
Thank you for your sacrifice... You will be remembered, next time it's Amercan week in the Lidl 😂😂
But I was really wondering about your opinion on the American pancakes!
I tried them and found them a bit dry and sticky, but I have no reference! Please let me know.
I hope to visit my American cousins this year and experience the real thing😇
We tried the pancakes one of the first weeks we were here-so gross! We stick to making our own from scratch whenever we have the craving.
A great tip if you are making them from scratch: add whipped egg whites to the batter. It makes them so fluffy!
I never thought I would see a mukbang on this channel. Just kidding! The wrap was indeed disgusting. 🤣
It was positively awful. 😂
@@TAndTGoDutch 🤣 better luck next time!
So glad you got to taste that. Now I won’t have to. Hoorah.
Happy to help, Ellen!
The bread department of Lidl is excellent. There are the best supermarket for bread in the Netherlands if you ask me.
And vegetables
I would think the wrap and the burger are the most awful. Travis discribed the taste of the burger just how it looks to me. And Tracy skipped the wrap for obvious reasons. Smart lady. 👍

Lidl products vary between not so good and pretty good. McEnnedy is a license brand and I think multiple European factories are producing products for it. Like the peanutbutter is from Swartberg in Rotterdam. Don't know about the other products but none come close to American products. Then again, perhaps European people don't like the real American products. It tastes different like you probably think things over here taste less than across the pond. Have you ever done a food test with chocolate and compare it to American? American chocolate is probably the worst in the world. German and Belgian chocolate probably the best. And it doesn't even have to be expensive. You just know where to look for it.
We haven’t done a taste test comparing them, but the differences are astounding. American chocolate (like Hershey’s) tastes awful after being spoiled with various chocolates from Europe. No comparison!
I think I'll pass on American week...hahaha
Gaaf man!
Bit like eating "English " food in the U.S lol. No such thing as an English breakfast muffin in the UK
Lol, fair point!
Plot twist: it was al the same evening but they just changed clothes to hide the fact they ate it al in one sitting
Man, we wish.
LOL...yeah pizzas with pineapple yuck... and hamburgers oy gewalt...
I was so hoping you wouldn’t eat the burrito, it did not look like something you’d want to put in your mouth. 😊
Not at all, positively disgusting!
American food, like eating chicken food, ( maize )... I saw.. That bread looks too dry, the sausage might even have meat in it, the water you do not drink, it's not meant to be tasted.. it's just salted water.
Normal food make people happy.
But I can not see that this food make you happy 😢
Perhaps you miss the additives?😉
Most of the food from the Lidl theme weeks are awful…😬🤢
Agreed! There are some gems, but most are not good at all.
Remember we are in the netherlands our food is better
Baby back baby back baby back rips bbq sauce..
Lol! In our heads the entire time. 😂
@@TAndTGoDutch I know this form austin powers. The fat bastard wants to eat tiny me and sing this song.

Niet zo goed indeed. You really tortured yourself with “American” food. The only “American” product i use is American fritessaus (fries sauce). Like the yellow sauce you can get at McDonalds. Other “American” food i had was disgusting like i was eating cardboard. Next time eat something that doesn’t traumatize you. ❤❤❤
In the US they don't eat 'frietsaus' with their fries which you can purchase at the Dutch and Begian McDonald's. They'll eat it with ketchup. It is only being sold in The Netherlands and later on in Belgium. So it is nowhere near American.
There used to be "fry sauce" at US McDonald's but it is only mayo and ketchup mixed together. Absolutely nothing like the frietsaus here
I’ve never understood why people like that way too yellow sauce that McDonalds serves here though. It tastes chemical as hell.
For you info all that lidel is marketing is planed in Germany so it’s purely marketing and not even planed in the Netherlands it’s all planed inGermany so it’s not a Dutch planing .
Why try it? We all know the reputation of American food 🫣
Really enjoyed it though, just glad you were the ones trying the food 😉
Morbid curiosity, lol? Glad we spared you!
