    After finally making our way over to mainland Europe, we embarked on our road trip down to Switzerland! Our first stop on the trip was the Netherlands. A beautiful country that holds a special place in our hearts, as this is where Adriana spent many years as a child. Our exploration begins in Den Haag, a wonderful city filled with great food, followed by an interesting overnight stay (it turns out the Netherlands doesn’t really LOVE the idea of campervans parking around the place) 👀 We also make a visit to the calm and beautiful university city of Leiden to, you guessed it, have some sweet treats and also visit Adriana’s old house… what an emotional and beautiful way to start our trip!

    Hey guys i am dutch and yes calve pindakaas with the Gruyter hagelslag i eat it stil almost every day (58years old) i used to take a bite and then take a zip of hot tea so the hagelslag melts in your mouth, that's awesome. Thanks for visiting the Netherlands. you both are great, i described a long time ago and love your content. Thank you for that !!

    I’ve lived my entire life in Den Haag and I can assure you weren’t the only one mistaking the bus lane at Plein 1813 for the normal road haha.
    Glad to see someone who’s not just visiting Amsterdam for once. Not that I have anything against the city, but the Netherlands is so much more than just Amsterdam.

    It’s was seriously so nice and heartwarming as a Dutch person to see you relive your childhood moments with such warmth and nostalgia.
    The breakfast was spot on, only I prefer the red Hagelslag (pure chocolate) but yeah, white bread not toasted is my guilty pleasure as well. Thanks for the tribute video!

    I’m from the USA. When I was a young girl I had a friend from Denmark named Kostin. He let me wear his wooden shoes around AND I remember once when I ate lunch at his house I was served soup and a chocolate sandwich. In between 2 slices of bread was a rather soft, thin square piece of chocolate. Like as if it was a slice of cheese. To me that memory is still strong and that was 60+ years ago. Yeah, memories can be so moving. Thank you for sharing. It is so nice!

  • @PickupthePieces76
    @PickupthePieces76 Před 8 měsíci +16

    Let's nitpick. For chocolate hagelslag you gotta go with the Venz brand. For the rest de Ruijter is fine. Also, I agree that the best way is to have hagelslag is on fresh (non-toasted) bread, but the bread you bought was meant to be toasted, it says so on the packaging. Even though you can eat that bread without toasting it just fine, it would be subpar compared to what else is available. The Netherlands has so much good bread, easily accessible in supermarket, but for this special occasion a trip the bakery was warranted. If you bought some non-sliced fresh white bread and spread the butter and Venz hagelslag on it, it would have been really heavenly.

    • @2Passports1Dream

    That was nice. I grew up there, I will always have a soft spot for Leiden and I want to go back when I am older. It used to be a major European city centuries ago and the world just forgot about it. It was still very poor up to the 1980's but now it's booming again. We were lucky to grow up in a place like that.

    Untoasted is definitely the most common way! Tho there's not really a wrong way imo. With untoasted you get the crunch from the hagelslag and the fluffy bread. With toasted (still warm) you get the crunch from the bread and the hagelslag starts to melt so it becomes gooey, which is nice as well 😁 Basically, you can't lose 😉

      You should. It is spelled Hagelslag. I recommend at least trying the pure chocolate and milk chocolate. There are more flavors and even very sweet sugary ones but I would stick to the two basic chocolate ones to start. If you eat it once in a while then that’s fine, I don’t think anyone here really eats it daily

    Very nice video. Happy journey on your way to Switzerland. Just in case no one has mentioned it, the pindasaus on frites was sort of a happy accident/invention after the Dutch Indonesians began emigrating to the Netherlands in the 50s and 60s. It is actually sate sauce, sans the chilli pepper sambal, that is usually put on Indonesian kebab. And yes it is pretty much a Dutch thing.

    As you may know, the Netherlands is split south/north over the naming of French fries. In the south they are called "friet" and in the north "patat" but you also read "patat friet" sometimes, although nobody says that. I think The Hague is in "patat" territory.

    I grew up in Wassenaar, a village in between The Hague and Leiden. We lived on the Leiden side of the village, so my mum and I often went to Leiden when went to town. I love Leiden. Even when I left home to live on my own I moved to Leiden eventhough I studied in The Hague (it's only 12 minutes by train).

    After pindasaus you got to try patatje oorlog. And if that typical bread goes stale: try wentelteefjes or lost bread / pain perdu. Also a great weekend starter. I used to buy casinobrood though for tosti or pindakaas / hagelslag. Nowadays it will be whole grain / volkorenbrood. One with hagelslag/pindakaas, one with cheese/jelly. Can't get more Dutch

    What a lovely couple the two of you are.
    What a nice trip you are doing.
    This was a sentimental journey to Leiden, but first Den Haag.
    Coincidentally I was in Den Haag for a party in Het Paard, a well known venue.
    I studied in Leiden for a short while, my Godson was born there, but I haven't been there to wander. I know some spots like the university, obviously, as well as the Museum voor Land en Volkenkunde (Museum of Land and Ethnology).
    My hometown is Rotterdam.
    Peanut butter and chocolate sprinkles is indeed what I grew up with. Try it with „ontbijtkoek" (translated as gingerbread, but that's not completely accurate, as many don't have ginger in it) which is what I still eat.
    Enjoy the trip🌸

    14:45 For adults as well. I don't eat breakfast often, but if I do it's usually stuff like hagelslag, but I prefer it on beschuit instead of bread. Also really good with a thin layer of Nutella instead of butter! And yes, bread not toasted is the standard.
    19:23 Dutch apple pie is the best ♥ About koffie verkeerd ('wrong coffee'), not sure if there is an English word for it. It's basically half warm milk, half coffee. Latte might come closest, but is made with espresso and steamed milk. us Dutchies don't go that fancy 😜

    The main difference between our hagelslag and random sprinkles, is the cacao content. They need a minimum % to be legit.
    Untoasted is definitely the best way: a soft white bun, with real butter and hagelslag is divine. Toast just melts the hagelslag, at that point, you might as well get a chocolate spread.

    • @annehoog
      @annehoog Před 9 měsíci

      Not just that, sprinkles in other countries are often auger coated (like venz hagelslag here) which makes them quite different. Main reason why I don't like the venz brand much.

    • @2Passports1Dream

      Verblijft u in een periode van een jaar meer dan 8 maanden buiten Nederland? Dan moet u zich altijd uitschrijven bij uw gemeente in Nederland. Wanneer u dit niet doet, kunt u een boete krijgen.
      De 8 maanden hoeven niet aaneengesloten te zijn. Het geldt bijvoorbeeld ook als u binnen een periode van een jaar 2 keer 5 maanden buiten Nederland gaat wonen. *Het maakt daarbij niet uit of u uw huis in Nederland aanhoudt*
      U schrijft zich bijvoorbeeld uit in de volgende situaties:
      U gaat emigreren en u blijft permanent buiten Nederland wonen.
      U gaat meer dan 8 maanden in een jaar buiten Nederland wonen voor werk, studie of stage.
      U verblijft meer dan 8 maanden in een jaar op uw vakantieadres in het buitenland.
      U gaat op (wereld)reis en u brengt meer dan 8 maanden in een jaar in het buitenland door.

But Delft has to most magic especially on a Saturday morning. It’s nice for me to see someone who actually is not Dutch feel so connected to our culture and cities. Thank for sharing your experience.
    Maybe you remember that in 2006 there where big celebrations in Leiden because of the birth of Rembrandt 400 years ago, I remember partying in Leiden was so much fun. And not to forget het Leids ontzet. (3 october)

    No idea why this came up in my recommendations but was pleasantly surprised when you mentioned Leiden. Brought back so many memories as I was working there in 1990. Unfortunately due to the time since I left & the relatively short time I was there means what you showed in the video didn't have any familiarity. I had a great time there & wanted to stay there for good. My first childs upcomming birth made that impossible along with my girlfriends reluctance to even move out of her road, let alone country 🤣 I often wonder how my life would have been had we moved there.
