I'd say you got the most popular (for a good reason) ones at least :) If you enjoy spicy food I can definitely recommend Indonesian and Surinamese food (sambal addict here 🌶). It's popular in the Netherlands because both countries used to be Dutch colonies. Although it's interesting because both kitchens are quite uncommon in other European countries. I can crave Indonesian food at times, but I do love Surinamese as well, the cool thing about it is that it's a fusion of Caribbean, Chinese, Indonesian, Indian, African (and probably some other influences I'm not aware of :))
I’m surprised that you didn’t find someone selling chai boa dumplings or satay. Worstenbroodje/sausage bread used to be easy to find
Great to see you chose for the traditional stroopwafel and poffertjes, they don't need all the weird "touristy" toppings that (most of) the Dutch never eat
They were delicious!
Nothing wrong with weird experimental stuff like Nutella, but skipping the traditional ones would be a big no no.
There are absolutely NO potatoes in bitterballen. Almost every foreigner thinks that. Bitterballen are made from a roux. Most bitterballen contain meat. There are also other variants, but there is never, ever, potato in a bitterbal.
Indeed. I was about to comment the exact same thing. Seems like ragout is a mystery outside of North-west Europe...😅
Yeah, so true
Thanks for the info! That makes much more sense.
So happy to see you back xx happy new year and happy travels
Thank you! We're glad to be back!
It's sad the sun wasn't out! I really liked hiding the happy face after the first try of the stroopwafel...hahaha 😂🤩... and almost instantly going in for the second byte into it...hahaha 🤣👌👍🤩
The stroopwafel was so good!
Pickles on a Herring, and the Herring being cut is a thing in the northern part of the Netherlands. I’m from the Hague, so I prefer my Herring in the whole, with just some onions.❤
Being born in the middle of the Netherlands (really the most central municipality) and now living more than 19 years in the North, I can tell you that except for in Amsterdam, I never have seen people eat herring cut in pieces or with pickles. So I don't fully agree with your statement. But agree with the fact that eating herring in the whole with a little bit of onions is the best!
Verse haring zou je zonder ui of pickles moeten eten
Exactly. Northern is different.
We enjoyed the pickles, but we like pickles in general.
@@TheMagicGeekdom pickles are delicious, I also like them. But a herring taste the best with just onions. Maybe the pickles afterwards then haha
I love the herring with pickles and sour cream...yum!!
Have been to Amsterdam and the only thing you had that I tried were the fries, they came with mayo. Glad to see you are back to CZcams!
Thank you! We had fries twice there. The other time was with the mayo.
this was interesting to watch being a local:) greetings from Amsterdam all 🇳🇱🏍
Thanks for watching @AmsterdamMotorTour!
Hello. I spent 4 years working in Amsterdam on loan from my UK company. Every time my sister-in-law visited we had to go to the Albert Cyupmarkt. She liked the quality and variety of spices. Why don’t you true herring (harring) the way the Dutch do at a market stall. They lower a fillet, head back and into the throat.
I love the sugar and butter Poffertjes and the Stroop waffles.
Well, maybe we have to try herring one more time to eat it correctly.
Throat? In our mouth, we do like to taste it before we swallow it🤣😂🤣😂
@@TheMagicGeekdomwhat you had is the 'real' Dutch herring Amsterdam style. Cut up in pieces and with pickles. Next time go to Scheveningen and eat it like it should be eaten, holding it by the tail and with just a hint of onion😂 (only the bits of onion that will stick to it). You'll probably get a better quality fish there too.
Happy New Year!
Same to you!
Awesome 👍 video and channel
Thank you so much!
Behind you at the end (beginning) of the market next to McDonald's you missed my favorite Suriname restaurant (eat shop). Albina is my absolute favorite. Try roti or moksi meti with tjauwmin with the yellow piccalilly sambal. Also should have gone to the Eddy bar for a true dutch bar. Febo (FErdinandBOlstraat) snack wall. And that's just food... there is much more to enjoy.
Thanks for all the suggestions for next time.
@@TheMagicGeekdom YW
Glad to see you guys back.
Sorry the weather interfered with your sound quality 😢🌧
Sorry about the sound issues, but thank you for watching!
Amsterdam looks like a fun area to visit. Nice share
It really is!
3:52 I pretty much always have some "belegen kaas" (or the slightly more aged "pittig belegen") in my fridge, can highly recommend. It's a bit more aged than the more standard (but perfect for "tosti's") "jong belegen" (more or less meaning 'young aged') and "jong" just tastes like rubber to me :P But "oud" (old) is very nice as well, just a bit too intense for my daily intake ;)
13:30 Man I love herring so much. But I really grew up with it with both of my parents loving it and I know a lot of Dutch people hating it. There's also a lot of difference in quality amongst the vendors (and depending on the season, best is in June when the fresh catch comes in).
6:13 It's basically the same formula as a lot of snacks based on mechanically separated meat: they use as much as possible from random animals. Which has its benefits when you think of it :P But yeah kroketten & bitterballen were made for mustard and good you tried peanut sauce! Can also recommend "patatje oorlog" (oorlog meaning war..), fries with mayo, peanut sauce and fresh onion.
Thank you for all the background info!
uitsmijter mit cas ne ham, fresh crusty white bread with a slice of smoked cheese with a fried egg on it. Uitsmijter normally has Dutch back bacon under the cheese
That sounds lovely! 😋
The way you describe the pickeled herring, this is what the Dutch calls "zure haring" and maybe this is what you had, but I was a bit confused because zure haring is not the most famous food in the Netherlands: that is "zoute haring", in Amsterdam served in the way you had with chopped raw onion and pickeled gherkin.
Zoute Haring is in salt and own enzymes fermented herring, a special method called "haring kaken".
The pickels with the herring is a heritage of the yewish people in Amsterdam: Joods Zuur can still be a part of the traditional herring stand: Amsterdamse uien, zure leverworst etc. especially the zoet zure variant (sweet-sauer).
Thank you for all the background information!
Indeed, go to Scheveningen and no-one will offer you 'zuur' with your haring. Blasfemie! 😂
You should try FEBO 🙌🏻
We did see them around. We have to try that next time.
Wales do a version of the stroopwaffles but a toffee centre. Very similar though. You can usually find them at Tesco’s. Delicious! They’re called tregroes toffee waffles
I’m a big fan of Tregroes waffles and tried a stroopwaffle in Amsterdam they are very similar but the Tregroes ones are better as you can taste more cinnamon. When I was a kid in the 90’s Tregroes had a stall in Carmarthen market and you could get them hot and fresh from the waffle iron in a paper bag and they were absolutely stunning I wish they still had that stall.
Thanks for the tip! we'll have to look for them next time we're there.
@@richarddavies5711 that’s funny richard. I’m from Carmarthen and I remember them making them fresh in the market 😂👍🏻👍🏻 do you remember the off cuts they also bagged up called bits & pieces.
@@TheMagicGeekdom you can eat them hot or cold. Always good making a cuppa and just leaving them warm up on top of the cuppa tea! 👌🏻
Wales do a version of waffles. It does not contain stroop
They sell pickled herring pretty much everywhere in the US. As someone who's whole family is from Poland, we grew up eating it at Christmas. I like it, especially with extra pickled onions with it. My favorite stroopwafel filling is honey.
Honey sounds really good!
@@TheMagicGeekdom What is a Stroop?
Stroop Is the Dutch Syrup That Could Be Better Than Maple ...
Stroop (rhymes with “rope”) is a syrup invented by the Dutch that features heavily in their morning cuisine. Made by boiling down fruit (most often apple, but pear is also common), the finished product is thick and sticky with a color and consistency similar to caramel.
@@TheSeNaBi That's not the stroop inside stroopwafels though, which is closer akin to caramel. The stroop you describe is a deep black (more like molasses) for bread or pancakes.
Honey is not stroop.
Hopefully someone can answer this😅 can you pay by card at the stalls or is it best to pay in cash at the market ?
It is a bit frustrating people (also in the Netherlands!) translate the fries topping as "Peanutbutter sauce" while it is a piece of Indonesian heritage and in fact has nothing to do with "pindakaas" = Peanutbutter. There is so much more ingredients in a real "pindasaus" ! Yes my fellow Dutchies I know nowadays most recipes mention starting with Pindakaas .. Everything with convenience ;-)
Original recipes contain Gula Djawa (Palm sugar) , Djawe (Ginger powder), ketoembar (Coriander seed/powder) and ketjap manis and some lime juice.
That sounds interesting. Thank s for the info and clearing that up.
Beste Mensen prachtig hoe jullie over ons eten praten maar als jullie dan toch hier zijn probeer ook is de ,bereklauw met satesaus, elke snackbar heeft dat ! eet smakelijk
Great video,the food looks great. Sound quality wasn't good though.
Sorry about the sound. The rain was quite bad we usually do better than that.
Thank you! Eat yourselves through Europe, you will love it and it's also educative if you learn about hhe culinary origins of hhe dishes.
Thank you for watching!
arent sate and peanut butter 2 different things?
They are kind of similar. but I don't think they're the same.
@@TheMagicGeekdomno they are not, real Saté sauce is not like peanut butter at all.
Peanutbutter is almost, but not quite, entirely unlike sataysauce. Both contain peanuts though.
If you're still in Amsterdam go to the foodhallen, it's amazing have the bitterball and selection from a Michelin star chef. It's the best street food!!
Also go to the beef chief in the Amsterdam Nord he is based in a brewery and they are the best burgers in Europe guaranteed!!
We will have to remember that for next time!
FEBO! Kroket uit de muur 😁👌
We do have to try a Febo next time that we're there.
I quite like herring, but then I like jellied eels too
We didn't mind the herring, but jellied eels were not for us.
I just got back from four nights in Rotterdam. A lot of places there to try Surinamese food. An interesting contrast to Amsterdam - faster paced, tall buildings, modern architecture and modern sculpture.
That is another place that we would like to visit.

Thanks for watching @TravelonlineWalk!
That guy looks so friendly idk why but i got very very friendly vibes from him some people Just look like geniun kind people
Awe, thank you! I'd like to think that about myself.
@@TheMagicGeekdom also loved the video. Always makes me happy to see forgeiners enjoy our foods
This is so funny because you two are surprised by the Dutch food . And I can't wait to taste real America food .
We does have some good food in America, but there is a lot of junk too.
If you have kibbeling, you should get remoulade sauce. Much better sauce
Good to know.
Try a Patatje oorlog next time. Peanutsauce, chopped onions and Mayo.
That sounds nice.
Try peanut butter with sugar on bread. ❤
That sound nice.
Original you should've eat it with unions and pickles. Back in the days when there where no refrigerators. The fishmongers buy there hering from the fisherman's a the harbours. And then had to move inland with their fish to their village or town. Because they could not cool the fish, quality started to deteriorate and it smelled more and tasted less (fresh fish has no smell). To mask this they put onions on the herring.
And one more tip. Always ask if they prepare the herring in front of you, then you always have fresh herring. So don't take herring that is already cut into pieces in the display case.
Thanks!
Oh how the Albert Cuyp has changed since I (a Brit0 lived and worked in Amsterdam for many years in the 1970s. I lived a couple. of blocks south of the Albert Cuyp, which was my local market for stocking up on fresh veg, fruit, cheese, herbs and fish.There were only two clothes sellers, just one selling fabric and the rest sold comestibles. Apart from a chippy at the top end, there were no street food vendors. For poffertjes (meh, too sweet) and groeone haring (chopped onion only as a topping) you had to go elsewhere. Bitterballan, frikandel and the like were available from automaats here and there and only occasionally from street carts near bars that closed at 3 am. Cheese was cut from the round, not sold in nasty vacuum packs, and genuine boerenkaas (farmers' cheese) was a culinary delight rarely available from supermarkets. I don't think I would like the Albert Cuyp now, but I'm glad you enjoyed it.
We would love to try some farmer's cheese.
@@TheMagicGeekdom If you ever go to Amsterdam again, keep an eye out for Leidse boeren kaas. It's a regional cheese from Leiden and contains cumin seeds. I was addicted to the mature version and still dream about it all these years later. Mind you, mature gouda (fresh from the wheel, not the supermarket version) takes some beating too, and the very mature version certainly gives Parmesan a run for its money.
if you want to taste cheese, go to the vender on the market or to a cheese shop and tell them you want to taste cheese, they happily oblige (the samples are often free and you can leave without buying something tho buying someyhing of cause its highly appreciated.) they are also happy to educate you on the cheese you trying. dont be shy dutch people often ask to try before buying if they need the cheese for some recepe. and in general it is much appreciated if you show interest in our local foods and traditions. we are not that patriotic but we are proud of our heritage, foods and traditions and love to share them and pleast try the traditional ways first before you drown everything in nutalla(this last suggestion is not directly to you but the the followers of your channel)
Thank you for the suggestions. Nutalla is nice and all, but I can get that anywhere. We like trying local things before we mess with them.
Amsterdam is great, 👍 shame about your weather guys! 🌧️🙆🙆
We enjoyed it there, but we weren't too lucky with the weather.
In the UK you can also find pickled herring, which are sold under the name of "rollmops". They're found in most supermarkets in the chilled cabinet- I quite like them 😊
Did not know that. We didn't mind them even if we were a little worried about it.
Rolmops is the Dutch name too. Sold in jars. They are the fish equivalent of gurkins. But very different from the classic fermented (so-called 'raw' but not really) herring with onions and pickles sold across the Netherlands. They ate latter.
Try saying Gouda like 'louder' and you will be closer to the correct pronunciation.
It's pronounced Howda.
@@bpure2560 not quite. G in Dutch is a guttural ch/gh sound made in the back of the throat, like the Scottish loch.
Good to know. Thanks!
It's howda with a hard H. Just check on Google and the first thing that comes up is how to pronounce it properly. @@jamesfahy2935
It's not cod kibbeling it's usually whiting chunks of fish!!
Sorry if we were incorrect.
@@TheMagicGeekdom Real kibbeling is traditionally made from cod. The pieces are dipped in a batter, fried and possibly sprinkled with fish herbs. But cod has become scarcer and therefore more expensive. A lot of kibbeling is therefore no longer made from cod, but from Alaskan coalfish (pollak).
If there's fish seasoning on them, it's probably not real codfish.
Nothing beats a 'lekkerbek' or kibbeling made from actual codfish. Not cheap these days though. And ditch the 80% salt fish seasoning. Tastes like the hideous Aromat of the 1970's and 1980's. Brrrrrr.
Been unsubscribed for some reason?? Re subbed 👍🏼
Thank you so much!
best subtitle ever albert kut markted just at the start
Yeah, CZcams did that automatically. We have since fixed it.
The Belgians buy their potatoes in The Netherlands. The saus isn't peanut butter. It's not Gooda. Try saying NOW. Same sound. Bitterballen don't contain potatoes but yours definitely lacked in meat. What you had were Dutch snacks, not Dutch food.
Thanks for watching the video at least.
Stroopwafels with chocolate instead of caramel? Noooooooo, can they please stop ruining a good thing?
It doesn't sound as good.
@TheMagicGeekdom believe me, without all that extra stuff, its WAY better. That with chocolate instead of Stroop, is NOT a Stroopwafel. Plain and simple. The same with poffertjes. Just with a piece of butter and a lot of powdered sugar, the best way. Not with all those extras, it takes the original taste away. They only started to do it for the tourists, not because we wanted it.
Glad you’re back. Doesn’t look like a culinary epicenter! Need update video of what your plans are!
Thanks, Peter?
And the US is? For starters, Dutch cheese wins it from American cheese every time....also on burgers 😂
What they ate doesn't classify as 'culinary' in the Netherlands either. It's barfood (bitterballen, kaassouflé), snack food (fries), cookies (stroopwafel), streetfood (herring, of which the Amsterdam style has the in my opinion completely taste ruining addition of pickles). The only 'culinary' bit may have been the old Gouda cheese.
Besides that... the video is called 'streetfood'
If you have plans to visit Venlo, I think your audience would love to see a tour of 2 Brüder. Imagine Aldi and Trader Joe's together but cutting the prices in half which is precisely what it is.
Now we need to seek that out. It sounds interesting.
KAPSALON
I had to look up what it is, but it sounds very good!
Subtitles are talking about albert kut market... thats something completely different in dutch. annndd cut!
CZcams automatically added them. We'll get it figured out. Thank you.
Kibbeling with the awful seasoning... next time ask for unseasoned Kibbeling and taste the great taste of real codfish (assuming they use real codfish)
We'll have to try that next time.
good to see you back on youtube, the sound and humming noise at one point in the video was really awful, not up to your usual quality
Sorry about that. We were debating taking that section out. Maybe we should have. We'll have another one next week without humming. Thanks for watching.
pronounced like Gowda, not Gooda...
Thanks for the correction.
The only Dutch street food I don’t like is Haaring = Herring in a burger bun, raw but with some pickle NO! Your attempts at the Dutch language isn’t bad except for Stroopwafel, ‘oo’ is pronounced Oh so it’s said like Strope waffel.
Herring in a bun doesn't sound like our kind of thing either.
It is great. With raw onions! But almost nothing beats Paling in a bun! (Smoked eel)
Not a burger bun. A soft white bread bun. (Puntje) mmmmmmmmm!
Try this: You pronounce "good" and "crowd" . Now you pronounce "Gooda" and Gowda". That's how you should pronounce "Gouda". It is so painfull to hear Americans say gooda like Goofy...
Goo dah cheese. Americans crack me up. At least learn how to pronounce Gouda the correct way especially when you are in the Netherlands.
"You like potato and I like potato
You like tomato and I like tomato
Potato, potahto, tomato, tomahto
Let's call the whole thing off"
They paid their money, they can all it whatever they want. I'm a Brit and I call it Goo dah as well.
Don’t be so arrogant to good tourists putting money into the economy.
What an utterly pathetic thing to type , people like you are sure to ruin every post .
I am sure the you NEVER mispronounce a foreign word wrong, eh?
Thanks for interacting.
