    one of the the best ways to eat herring is "Rolmops" = herring cured in hot vinegar eaten cold,
    and "Panharing" fried herring in vinegar with onions, also eaten cold.
    ( and way more affordable you'll get 5 herrings including a jar for the same price
    as one "raw" herring. 😇

    Surprisingly good video. I would say that most if not all points are correct. And the obsession about riding a bicycle can be best explained that it is just a tool that is efficient. I am pretty sure most households have a vacuum cleaner, but that does not mean that those people are obsessed with vacuum cleaning their house. It is just an efficient way to clean the floor. If I want to go to the supermarket to get some fresh bread then using my bicycle is faster, healthier, easier, cheaper, and with less pollution. So, I am not cheering that I can go to the supermarket on my bicycle but de-icing my windscreen of my car, finding a parking spot for my car, and walking from the parking space to the entrance of the supermarket is just to much hustle. I might be back home before the car driver would be able to pay for his groceries.

    They want to remove the English language from the universities.
    1. A lot of people don't know enough English after high school to be able to study
    2. The study is in English, but real life after in Dutch. They have to relearn what the professional words mean in Dutch so that's inconvenient
    3. Foreign students get their degree, and go back home. This place should have been occupied by someone who gets a lot from the government and stays to give something back

    The herring is not raw. Raw even we would not eat it. It was kept in salted water.

    • @Patatteke1
      @Patatteke1 Месяц назад +1

      Wiki: Gibbing is the process of preparing salt herring (or soused herring), in which the gills and part of the gullet are removed from the fish, eliminating any bitter taste. The liver and pancreas are left in the fish during the salt-curing process because they release enzymes essential for flavor. The fish is then cured in a barrel with one part salt to 20 herring. In Dutch "Haring kaken".
      According to a popular story, the process of gibbing was invented by Willem Beukelszoon a 14th-century fisherman from Biervliet, Zealand (Zeeuws-Vlaanderen). The invention of this fish preservation technique led to the Dutch becoming a seafaring power.[3]

    That the Dutch eat haring that isn't cooked or fried doesn't say that it is raw. Eat the haring like the Dutch do and try a raw haring after that. Well I assure you that you will spit out the second one.
    At my place in Amsterdam my Canadian friends prepared American pancakes. After we ate some of it, I prepared the pancakes Dutch style (not the small ones shown in this video) plate size and thin. Home again in Canada they never have had the American pancakes, but Dutch ones.
