WARNING! when eating bitterballen (or any other fried food) in nederland DON'T bite in it straight away because we serve it VERY,VERY HOT! just let it cool down for a while.
It's two years later but I don't care. :) Yeah, it was about the pancake (poffertje) itself though, not the fact that there's a lot of sugar on there. As opposed to American pancakes, poffertjes and Dutch pancake batter isn't sweetened so it's only actually sweet if you use sweet toppings.
Fun fact; the word drop comes from "druppel" (drop in English). It refers to a drop of medicine, specifically liquorice extract, used in the making of the candy. So you eating it for a sore throat makes a whole lot of sense.
Probably because it is the only city worth visiting. An American told me he visited Amsterdam South, he really didn't like it ... just big harbours and such, from his pictures I found out he had visited Rotterdam. :)
@@buddy1155 Acually, Amsterdam itself isn't worth visiting at all. Hardly any real dutch culture left, just another capital city ruined by tourism. The fact that you hear more English on the streets than dutch and can't even talk to staff in Dutch in some shops is quite telling. Cities like Leiden, Delft, Nijmegen, Utrecht, 's-Hertogenbosch and such are far less tourist-orientated and way more worthy of a visit than head-up-its-ass arrogant Amsterdam. Or visit Efteling theme park, just an hour south of Amsterdam, now THAT is worth a visit. And it's true Rotterdam isn't that interesting anymore culture-wise, the Germans bombed the historic city center in 1940.

Bitterballen are not filled with gravy, but with a ragout ( a mixture of pulled beef and herbs, thickened with flour, while cooking). Just like kroketten (the larger ones).
They are the very best neighbour or in dutch " het beste van alle buren" for us northern-west german. I love "Holland" or "niederlande" so much. Some times I wish i can live there. :-) Execpt football, i hate every orange fan of the bottom of my heart. Everyone!!!!! :-( So......i hope to see my lovely neighbour very soon. :-) Except it is a football game :-(
@@D_B_N_BassThe difference is: van Dobben is a pastry bakers bitterbal or kroket and the Jumbo is a butchers bitterbal or kroket. The pastry ones have defined peaces of meat, the butchers have more pulled meat (draadjesvlees) in the ragoût. It is a matter of personal taste, but I agree with you.
My grandmother worked n chemist shop when she left school making zoute drop as a medicine. When we were kids she would give us a hand-sized triangle to eat all day. And what about Advocaat - a Christmas special - one bottle good brandy, one dozen eggs made into a cream and eaten with a tiny teaspoon.
I miss the Netherlands. I was born in New Zealand but my mother and father are from NL and I have lived in NL for about 8years and loved it.yess would never live there again but I can still miss it.would love to go back for a long holiday but thanks to covid I cant
Eating on the go is actually not a national passtime at all in the Netherlands. Most Dutch people take food from home with them in order to safe money.
I love Amsterdam. I have just eaten home made pancakes and fish today. Wow when i visit again i will try pofferjes because they are made with buckwheat flour. I love licorice. Now i am able to eat the salted ones. I like the boiled licorice salted sweets for colds. I need to find that licorice shop in Amsterdam.

Lol from Netherlands myself although left in ’05, some things I noticed and liked or disliked. - Poffertjes you can get them in any town there would be an “olieballen kraam” Where you also have delicious Oliebollen wat I think are almost the same like poffertjes. - Prices for Poffertjes are expensive! - Never had a warm “Stroopwafel” In my life and I really think it’s a tourist thing. Same as all the extra things like chocolate - Love the Salty liquorice - I have never been to “Zaanse Schans” And only knew of it via videos when I already left the country. - Love “Bitterballen” but they are just small “Kroketten” but never use mustard always use Mayonnaise - Love the Herring, just raw with onions but also on a white bread roll pickle was never thing where I came from. - Love Gouda cheese but abroad I see a lot of fake or rebranded like Gouda But best cheese is just very old cheese the older the better.
Oliebollen are diep fried and a very different batter than poffertjes. They're more like old fashioned doughnuts. Fresh, warm stroopwafels are a market thing. Many Dutch people eat them. Though bitterballen and kroketten are similar nowadays, they each have a different origin. I don't know about the rest of the Netherlands, but here in North Holland they're mostly served with mustard. Which is great.
ik ga lekker zuurkool stampot maken met uitgebakken spek en een vette worst en suddertjes vlees daar heb je lekkere vete jus van dat is hollands eten op zijn best
Each week I buy & devour 3 herrings (with onions). I know most tourists go to Amerdam, but don't forget Rotterdam. Maybe not old-school Doutch food oriented, but this city has a lot restaurants and bars who are the best of the new Dutch cuisine, which is a mixture of many cultures and foods. As like Surinam, Chinese, Japanese, Hungarian, Russian, Italian, Indian, Indonesian, Korean cuisine. There are also some hidden gems/restaurants which are small but true to their origin! I know a real Italian shop where all the products are imported from Italy, the same with a Russian shop where they usually speak the Russian language...
Ladies and gentlemen if you want to go to the Netherlands, go to the HEMA and get there some smoking sausage we call them "Rookworst" they are not expensive and very tasty. The pastry is there also nice.
Bitterballen have nothing to do with the 'bitter' flavor, they are called that way because you are supposed to eat them with a "bittertje" which is a hard liquor drink mostly made from different spices could be jenever.
Mariska (the lady from the candyshop) is lovely, everyone who grew up in 'De Jordaan' (a neighbourhood in the centre of Amsterdam) knows and loves her. You can only find her in Amsterdam!

Imean why is it americans think amsterdam is the only city in the netherlands.. 😂
Because geography in US schools is more locally based than globally
They believe that Denmark is the capital of Amsterdam...
Probably because it is the only city worth visiting.

Try the rookworst from HEMA, it's a great sausage
dutch cities are lively beautiful cities to live many things to see and enjoy
Deep fried gravy? Bitterballen are usually more a deepfried ragout ;p
That is sooooo true!

There is no gravy in bitterballen. The inside is called ragout. The Dutch only eat gravy with potatoes.
Actually it’s called salpicon. It’s thicker than ragout.
Eating on the go is actually not a national passtime at all in the Netherlands. Most Dutch people take food from home with them in order to safe money.
