The Dutch are a simple and pragmatic people, and this is obvious when looking at their culinary techniques. The either mash the hell out of something, boil the life out of something or deep-fry the shit out of something.
The french eat to enjoy good food and good company. The dutch eat to stop feeling hungry.
+richa16x boerenkool en erwtensoep zijn een uitzondering, maar meestal is een nederlandse maaltijd gewoon saai aardappelen, groente en vlees. Meestal zijn de gerechten waar de Nederlander zich echt de hele dag op verheugt buitenlands.
d4m4s74 je hebt nederlandse gerechten en je hebt idd gewoon voer.
maar die voer "gerechten" word niet alleen in nederland gegeten. (ook gewoon in spanje enzo.) De typische gerechten zoals boerenkool en ertensoep kijkt men vaak wel naar uit.
+d4m4s74
Wij eten samen voor goed gezelschap ^^
+d4m4s74 you are spot on
+d4m4s74 Hell no.. go to any Dutch restaurant and you will get decent food... In France you won't always have that... Sometimes the restaurants are fking shit there...
ik eet alleen maar bitterballen
Ik eet jouw...

Made with horsemeat - yummy?
Jelmar Gerritsen en als je een hotdog eet, eet je dan een broodje kroket
Jelmar Gerritsen ook lekker Nederlands ;-)
It's called HUTSPOT. not "wortel stampot (mashed carrots)" >.>
nee wortel stamp is alleen wortel bij hutspot zit wa meer. geen idee wa maar ik snap de verwarring.
+Leon Jacobs Onions. And you are correct. I rewatched the part, and with the mashed carrots, the dish is way more orange then "Hutspot" would be. So yeah. Good call.
Lightmanone Thx i noticed it too so was very annoyed that people were calling it hutspot. You may fly of captain.
So that means we have 5 dishes instead of 4 XD
Boere kool sukkel
I'm Dutch and I can tell you that this isn't completely true. We don't only eat "stamppot". That's just like saying that Italian people only eat pizza.
jep, mee eens
I do think you should not take these videos too seriously ;)
J. Brouwers kom wie houd nou niet van stampot
which is kinda true... pizza + pasta 😅
agree we dutch people eat a lot of different things... like my favorite is pizza... from domino's... if its not from domino's its bad... and pancakes! yum love pancakes.... made by mom... or how to type that again? idk crossiant? idk i really dont know but yum.... we dutch people eat lots of different stuff
Creating the gravy vulcano is ESSENTIAL. It's the best part! You simmply cannot eat stamp-pot without making a gravy vulcano.
+Chadyo the Wallnut so true
we do have gravy!
groningen en friesland en zo?
oo oke ik wist niet dat ze daar geen jus hadden
oo oke
Every foreigner I have ever made stamppot for has absolutely loved it. Mashed potatoes, kale, add salt and pepper, maybe a clove of garlic. Then add some nice gravy and a sausage, and you have the perfect winter dish. Cold outside, but warm and cozy inside at the dinner table!
I would probably like it. I'm not a big fan of spicy dishes.
More important, it's healthy too. So much better than pancakes, donuts, Mac-food, etc.
YES BUT WHEN YOU EAT IT 300 TIMES A YEAR IT GETS A LITTLE FUCKING BORING DUNNIT??
Ever considerred the possibility that they were just polite....... :D
@@Ivan-en5ij The Netherlands invented donuts and have pancakes XP
This video does great injustice to Dutch cuisine. Not only do we use many spices in our traditional dishes... in conjuction with the former Dutch colony of Indonesia we developed the very first fusion cooking trend where traditional Indonesian dishes would be remade with native Dutch ingredients as well as making Dutch traditional style dishes with Indonesian ingredients and spice mixes.
We also invented the "rijsttafel" concept where, instead of eating your fill of one dish, a table is filled with small servings of as many dishes as you can fit onto it. Originally meant to show off the richness of colonial culture it has become a grand example of Dutch and Indonesian eating habits.
Then there are our great and famous cheeses, many types of cured and smoked meats, numerous sweet treats, baked goods using a wide range of spices from the colonies like speculaas and gemberkoek, shellfish, beer brewed with gruyt instead of hops, jenever (precursor to all gin-type beverages), first to import coffee to Europe on a large scale (and ofcourse drinking it as well).
Only with the large scale introduction of the potato combined with widespread famine and wars causing great shortages of many other ingredients did we invent the stamppot as a way to pad the caloric intake that was getting dangerously low for much of the population. Even stamppot has seen many improvements since it's introduction and is commonly made with a wide range of spices and ingredients. Really the only thing binding all stamppot dishes together is the use of mashed potatoes as a base much like stock is the base for a wide variety of soups. Also, while it is a typically Dutch style of dish most Dutch people barely eat stamppot once a week.
All in all, if you don't know what you're talking about... shut the fuck up :D
+Mark Neeleman z'n video's moet je met een korrel zout nemen ;) (pun not intented)
Exactly fucking this. people who know nothing about the dutch and don't know what their talking about STFU.
+Mark Neeleman Family style dining is actually common across Asia and definitely not invented by the Dutch.
+Mark Neeleman Excellent comment. While reading your rijsttafel comment i was wondering if you'd mention it's origin, and there it was. :) As a trading nation we just adapted/co-opted what we liked instead of coming up with tons of 'new' dishes ourselves. Very Dutch! :D
+wackywong Not family style dining as such, no. But the rijsttafel thing came to from traders and 'rulers' traveling through the colonies. For these visits the mostly Indonesian colonies served a spread of lots of different local dishes to sample all there was to offer and as a show of wealth and respect by the local overseers. And it's this large sampling of different dishes that makes a rijsttafel.
"Wortelstampot" Haha. Like everyone in the Netherlands says hutspot
Or carrot stamppot
Wa baaln In brabant noemen we het peestamp
Rene Ouderling whut?ik woon ook in brabant en heb dat nog nooit gezecht :) nouja zal wel aan mij liggen
Or 'penen en uien' (carrots and onions)
+Dare To Zeefuik Not in the south though ;). in Limburg we cal it wortelestamp or wortelstampot.
What the hell is this 😂 Saying you should bring your own spices is just like saying you should bring healthy foods when you visit the us. That makes absolutely no sense...
+sprinkleofkim
you should bring your own gear to cook that stuff too, unless you can do everything you want with just a microwave lol
+sprinkleofkim I am American and I ate in the Nederlands and I loved the food. Not sure what this guy is talking about
Loool you're so right 😂😂😂
heheXD
sprinkleofkim hahaha im weak af hahah
My parents actually made this very often for me when I was younger and I still love it, it's really good :D
There's actually quite a rich fusion cuisine in the Netherlands brought over from the former colonies
This channel is so nice ! the Dutch sense of humor is amazing !! Sending love from Brazil ;)
ROTFLMAO!
I went looking for a traditional Dutch cookbook. Most of the recipes were from Dutch colonies.
He makes a funny here, but stampot is actually pretty good. I make a version if it at home, but put the meat into the potatoes as they cook for more flavor.
When I got to Holland, I stay with a family just outside Haarlem. The mother is from Belgium, the father is from Surinam, but his ancestry is Chinese. Home cooked dinner is a mix of Surinam and China, with touches of other things (always mayonnaise).
However, there is one native Dutch dish that is truly amazing: Kapsalon. Dutch fried covered in chest and shawarma meat baked until the cheese melts, then topped with salad and creamy garlic sauce and sambal sauce.
Good kapsalon is freaking amazing.
Most groceries don't have things like a whole chicken, a whole ham, or beef roast. Meat is mostly served already packaged into single servings. I had to special order a beef roast (cost a FORTUNE). I was going to make a traditional Thanksgiving dinner for them one year, but couldn't get a turkey for blood nor money.
I've never seen so many different kinds of sausage in one place though. Strangely, there are no hot dogs unless they're canned in water.
On the other hand, I counted 11 different flavors of mayonnaise. They do have spices and herbs, but they seem to be packed in only small jars or little plastic pouches. Take someone who can translate the labels.
There are TONS of fairly good restaurants though. I ate out a lot.
You'll need to go to an actual butcher for a whole ham, they can arrange any cut of meat for you. Though bird meat is usually found at the poelier (bird butcher).
Only 11 flavours of mayonaise? That must have been a small supermarket.
The Dutch cuisine is so interesting, I'd love to explore it further.
Im American and i would eat that stamppot.
Very easy to make, but the real Dutch "smoked sausage" is going to be a challenge to buy (or find) in the US.
But I looked at the Walmart website and 'Hillshire Farm Naturals® Smoked pork Sausage" looks the same !
You need : 1 pounds of onions , 1 pounds of carrots and 1 pounds of normal crumbly white potatoes.
First chop the onions and carrots into small pieces, and peel the potatoes.
Take large cooking pan and melt a tiny lump (0,1 lbs) of cream butter , put the onions and carrot in the pan and just only heat them a little.
Then fill the cooking pan with warm water, and ad the potatoes plus you ad two chicken bouillon cubes (normally used to make soup) to the water. Put a lid on the pan and cook for 14 minutes (or punch a fork into the potatoes, if they slide of the fork , they're good)
Meanwhile make the gravy. I use instant ready gravy, only add water and boil for two minutes, but you can use whatever you like.
After cooking, drain the water from the pan, and it's time to smash the hell out of all ingredients.
It takes me only 20 minutes to make this, and after eating you're full for the rest of the evening ;-)
I is soooo delicious
I love boerenkool :3 want to eat it all year
ME TOO
IT IS THE BEST FOOD THERE IS
@@kranendonk1947 ik weettttt
🤢🤢
me too
I miss Dutch food so bad! I learned to cook it when I lived there. I wish I could go back to eat! Heel lekker! Ik mis de Nederlands!
Laat je gezin en al achter, en kom gewoon terug :D heerlijke stampot met spek joh!
Did you learn how to fry frikandellen en bitterballen?
Who has brainwashed you and how did they do that..............
@@Laperdash 😂
@@Seahorn_ They give him some good Zuurkool🤤
What do you mean with no variety in Dutch cuisine? There's literally 41 kinds of stamppot if not more! xD
My grandma is half Dutch and half HK Chinese. Growing up I always ate her food. it was a fusion of Dutch and Chinese.
So basicly the food which you can order at a chinese restaurant in the Netherlands? :P
TheFettuck Not like that. Let's take a combination of Chinese and Dutch ingredients and fuse the recipes together.
Retardday1 give our snackbars back
True, on the other hand, there is an abundance of variety of foreign restaurants in each city. Even the smallests of towns have the token 'Chinese' restaurants where you can eat Indonesian style food in a well over the top Chinese atmosphere. Dutch pancakes are second to none. :-)
Erwtensoep (Green pea soup) BLAND?
Did you ever EAT it?
+RastaSaiyaman It is bland...
The Chemical Shroom Nope it's hearty, good comfort food and the addition of smoked sausage really makes it a good tasty meal.
Do yourself a favor and buy yourself a can of Unox, to really get how tasty Ewrten Soep can be.
+RastaSaiyaman Unox and tasty in one sentence, didn't think that would be possible. Unox and Disgusting seems to be a better fit - to each his own i Guess but in general I'm not a fan of Dutch cuisine...
Fused84
But to make a clip about how you think how bland it is is in even worse taste.
+RastaSaiyaman I think these video's are meant to be taken with a grain of salt.
I really like "Bittergarnituur". It's a large plate full of different kind of small deep fried snacks!
Bitterballs, chicken nuggets, frikandellen, croquettes, cheese souffles, fried noodle balls, fried rice balls, spring rolls!!
All included in one giant dish! :D And sometimes they even add more different kind of snacks!
I love frikandellen or kroketten
Ria Verhoef worst I've ever tasted. All dutch fast food is uneatable. Never ever tasted worse.
+carinaejag Yeah you probably only like McD's and weigh 50 tonnes right?
+Jorn Soer
Maybe it's time to realize that fat doesn't make you fat but suggar is the culprit. If you take it easy on the sauces (mayo included)...
+endemion06463 maybe you should realise it all about calories in and out, not just sugar.
Dude stampot is everything
My mother used to make the wortel stamp pot. Loved it!
Dutch person here! Thank god my parents never resorted to dutch cuisine. I would have died.
When does anyone ever say " Did you hear, there's a great American restaurant just opened nearby" never... The level of American naiveté is priceless.
10/10
i hear 'lets go eat at KFC or MacDonalds' pretty often though
Because Americans know branding. They're not called "American restaurants", they're called McDonalds, Burger King, KFC, Pizza Hut, etc.
Wil Saint Hamburgers are German: FAIL FOR YOU
Wil Saint bbq is from the spanish pirates
The first line in the Dutch Cooking Book? "First, borrow an egg"!
Yes traditional Dutch meals are simple and not restaurant worthy like the Italian or French kitchen, but they are quite good. Stampot with smoked sausage or Green Pea soup are usually eaten in winter because those meals are quite filling. Another traditional Dutch meal is raw herring sprinkled with bits of raw onion and 'poffertjes' (tiny round pillowlike pancakes with butter and icingsugar on top).
Rick Koelewijn ah lekker haring met rauwe uitjes en poffertjes
It's still disgusting.
There's much more typically Dutch food than stampot!
- peasoup called snert
- Raw Harring called Hollandse nieuwe / maatjesharing
- The Dutch love snacks! Kroket frikadel bitterbal berenklauw patatje oorlog etc
- Special holiday foods like pepernoten oliebollen stol and beschuit met muisjes
- small pancakes called poffertjes
- black candy called drop!
- Plus there a loads of local specialties like worstenbroodje from den Bosch
Try them all and make a video about it!
What do Dutch people cook for Christmas 🎄 ?
@@CesarGarcia-nd5xz Varies a lot per person, but when I grew up with christmas we would do something called 'gourmetten'. Which means you all sit around a table with a small fire grill in the middle and you each put different small meats on it and when the small meats are grilled you put it on your plate and start eating it. You can also have a set with a double layered fire grill with which you can put vegetables in tiny frying pans on the lower grill to fry them and then eat em. It's a lot of fun but you're house will reek quite a bit afterwards.
Their traditional concept of cuisine is the same as that of white folks in the UK and the rural parts of the Northeast and Midwestern US. Seasonings are salt, butter, animal fat, sugar, vinegar, and condiments. Anything spicy or flavorful is from Indonesia, just like the UK is India and Pakistan and the US is blacks, Hispanics, or southeast Asians
you got me with the simple and pragmatic "see, variety." :-D
😂 so true the stamppot I ate had no salt at ALL!!! Never had such a blend dish! Or the broccoli was over cooked 🤣🙈 but I like bitterballen and haring and the cheese 🧀
Over cooking vegetables seems pretty common in Dutch food. It’s a technique I like to call “kapotkoken”. I hate it so much.
I used to hate green beans. Then tried cooking them for 5 mins instead of 12 like my mom used to and I discovered they’re pretty good.
i am dutch and i thought this video was funny as hell haha XD its treu when we make different "stampots" we automaticly asume its going to be a totaly different meal haha XD
Yes, we are the "Jongens van de gestampte pot!" and I love it :))
- Hutspot
- Erwtensoep (aaawww this is great especially in winter on the ice)
- Boerenkool (yeah try to say that word haha)
This video is, of course, rediculous. Hope nobody takes it too seriously.
Btw, absolutely *terrible* pronunciation of 'zuurkool', but I don't blame ya. ;)
+Michel ten Voorde I appreciate your understanding!
true, it's weird af hearing someone judge stuff like this without even knowing the pronunciation xD
The guy is Dutch himself...
Ohh THAT'S what he was saying. XD
Stamp pot is geweldig xd
WEET IK TOCH!
>The Dutch variant of Nasi
>The Dutch variant of Bami
>Half of the shit on the Chinese menu that was adapted for Dutch consumption
>Suriname's kitchen we adopted and adapted
But yeah, we only do deep fry, boiled shit and mash shit.
Keep in mind, the Dutch kitchen is 90% foods from places we've historically "borrowed" things from, so to speak.
It's nice you said something about the VOC and then neglected to mention that it caused is to adopt a world kitchen.
Als het nog niet gestampt is zoals in aardappelen, groenten, vlees en jus wordt het alsnog geprakt met een vork.
If not mashed as in potatoes, veggetables, meat and gravy it get geprakt (mashed) on the plate with the fork.
Difference with US eating habits: normally we do not cut the meat first in cubes, smother it in ketch-up and eat with only a fork and the other arm protective around the plate.
In some families with children, we eat it with a wallop of appelmoes (apple sauce) on the side.
Famous Roadhouse Van de Valk gives (still) standard a small bowl with appelmoes with a cherry on top.
1:21 and that stuff is like THE BEST (voornamenlijk boerenkool)
Mash potato and gravy and a smoke sausage....that's is very very great dinner. awesome ....i like it
I'm Dutch , and this was pretty funny
This is the best survival book I think on ShepherdSurvives Website
I haven't had 'stampot' in this entire year.. And that is a lot because its almost the end of 2015. People go more often to the MacDonalds, KFC or Burger King. Or they just eat something at home like pizza, or salad with something extra.
Dutch food survival guide - Tip No. 1- Get on the train to Belgium and enjoy some real food there!!!
So accurate, fantastic video! Pragmatic and very simple, as all Dutch are!
I'm laughting my but out with your video's (I'm Dutch). So funny the way you bring it, but it is all very true in your video's.
What about hachee, hete bliksem, kapucijners met spek, erwtensoep, bruinebonensoep or stew with draadjesvlees? Not high quisine, but very suitable for doing hard work in cold winters.
witte kool stampot, boerenkool stampot, witlof stampot, cooked andijvie till its mushy and slimy (yuck) .. do not eat them without the gravy, cause its usually the only thing that gives it flavor. fish on friday, soup on saturday (with some people actually just feeding you boiled water with some floating veggies.. no amount of salt, pepper or maggi can save you then). food from other countries that stayed: Shoarma, bami/nasi (though they usually forget to add flavor when homemade) and sushi (which isnt suprising cause they already like their raw haring). breakfast : slices of bread (non toasted) with a few slices of sauges, chocolate sprinkles, or peanutbutter. Same again for lunch. Tea time brings a lot of diversity though, you might get some awesome Stroopwafels or Bestognes. full of sweetness, with a great taste. Or you get bisquit. which are as bland as stampot.
Love stamppot! Only in autumn or winter though. For the rest of the year we eat all sorts of food. Not just Dutch food
Looks like food you would find in a nursing home.
Hahaha the mashing thing is so true! As children we learn to just mash the stuff up and mix it all together...
It's funny because it's true. It doesn't taste bad though.
Yes it does
@@RekaCath no it doesn't
It does. I hate it. I just eat bitterballen, that's the best you'll get out of our food.
Hutspot isn't really dutch. It was found in the empty camp of spain by leiden in the netherlands.
Greetings, a girl from leiden
Goddamn foreigner bringing their exotic food here! We eat our onions raw!
/s
Hutspot is pretty great tho! I mean... It's exactly what I was looking for when I first came to Amsterdam.
Americans be like " hey honey wich drive thru we gonna take today??"
"Lets go mexican today honey"
"Kids!! Get in the car, its gonna be taco bell!"
Oh man, I am Dutch and I agree. I do however like stamppot, but usually I just steal recipees from other countries.
Thank God i today ate at an English restaurant in Spain. Tomorrow an American Mc Donald.

Ahh die goede ouwe replica van de amsterdam bij het scheepsvaart museum
Ahh the good old replica of the "amsterdam" near the "scheepsvaart museum:
Stampot is quit good and that is not the only Dutch food. We also have things like haring met ui.
So True +1 How about: witlof in speklapen?
Im dutch and we usually only eat "stampot" in autumn and winter
In the summer and spring we eat fried potatoes
Delicious dishes!
This is so true. They think salt and pepper is enough spice..
Well actually pancakes are originally from the Netherlands and if im correct some people eat this on a daily basis in other countries
Awesome video, although I hope you'll make a more accurate one as well with what is really eaten and not just traditionally :)
I can't argue with the fact that stamppot is a Dutch meal but not all our food is bland. Not in my family at least.
Man, now there's a rival to the Middle Eastern cuisine: Rice and Potato Stew, Rice and Chicken Stew, Rice and White Bean Stew, Rice an-
Okay, you get it by now
this guy is great !
Modern Dutchies eat mostly pasta (macaroni or spaghetti with tomato sauce, vegetables and diced ham or minced meat and 'Parmigian' cheese are typical Dutch pasta's. Not very Italian because there is to much stuff in the sauces). Also pizza is very popular just as lasagna. Due to the multicultural demographics and the colonial history also Asian (Indonesian) and Surinam food and Turkish and North African food are popular.
Especially in the bigger cities we absolutely don't eat stamppot every day and if we eat it then only in winter.
Totally forgotten in the list of typical Dutch food is "Babi Pangang" (spiced up roasted pork in a sweet and sour sauce, served with fried rice). It's not Chinese, it's not Indonesian, it's a Dutch invention and you'll only find it in The Netherlands.
This is just genius, great vid about us! XD LMAO
I actually love stamppot.
This made me laugh out loud from recognition lol.
this is so true.
Dutch cuisine…. The first thing comes to my mind is cheese
Good video!
that's al lies dutch people like me are eating with more variation. we are not eating everyday patatos ore stamppot, we also eat pizza, burger, beef, wraps and tortillas. here in NL we love food from other country's.
I actually love Dutch food mainly because I’m Dutch, olliebolen, stampot, hutspot, frikandelen, pannenkoeken, krentenbollen and don’t forget the fish 😋😋😋
We don't only eat stamppot
We Also eat hutspot
The best two are:
1) Boerenkoolstamppot (Kale, mashed potatoes, bacon, gravy and coarse mustard preferably, Doesburgsche mosterd)
2) Stamppot Prei (Leek, mashed potatoes, bacon, hard boiled eggs and gravy)
Dutch cuisine is delicious.
Looks soo good
For all the pll in the comments hating on this guy saying we only eat that stuff....
IT IS A JOKEEEEEEEE
Jeez it’s supposed to be funny make a lil fun of Dutch stereotypes just like they do with Americans eating only MacDonalds and donuts and English pll only drinking thea seriously think before you just go around saying stuff...
dit is gewoon een belediging voor nederlanders!!
Nee het is een compliment
nothing better than stamp pot on a cold, damp day!
Quite a few things are better than that. Every other food, for instance.
Scott Snyder Boy id rather eat a fucking raw carrot
How does a carrot f*ck? Sideways or up and down?
wat eten jullie vanavond?stamppot!
dit is toch geen stamppot?
PRANK!!
But that is why we appreciate foreign foods that much. I mean, look at our streets, it's filled with every cuisine you can think of. And one of the dutch cuisines is the 'chinese' one. Chinese restaurants in the Netherlands are a mix of different cuisines, especially the Indonesian one.
Lol....Well there is a difference in taste between boerenkoolstamppot and wortelstamppot (commonly named "hutspot" in Dutch, or in my local area "peejenstaamp"). But maybe you get why I am a fan of several foreign dishes ;)
to be honest you can get spices here though. you can get here like every spice you like. we have a market here that is the largest of all the markets in whole europe. They sell food like everything you can imagine btw the variety of different kind of dishes here is pretty good as well
Pretty accurate.
The wortel stamppot is carrote stamppot
There is variety! There are much more kinds of stampot!
Oh the irony of watching this in the KLM lounge at Schiphol…
Spices were to expensive for most Dutch people, back in the VOC days. And typical Dutch food isn't bad. It's just a matter of prefences.
Cope
Hutspot is the best, and bye the way we do use spices...and we do eat a lot of dutch indonesian and italian food too
In holland we have food from all over the world and we have more variations in food than the US
En nu heb ik honger... 😂😂
The fried stuff is actually one the few tasty things in dutch cuisine...
Very funny, and probaly very true...and I'm Dutch
Now people think that we Dutch people only eat stamppot and cheese but that is really not true. 🤣
