Jenever is a 100% Dutch invention....There is not even remotely a question or debate about that. It's not a gossip or a rumour like you seem to think.... Even the Brits themselfes happily acknowledge that Gin is their attempt at making Dutch Jenever. Just google it and it is literally spelled out. Also like you probably realised: the name 'French fries' that is used (only in the USA) is bizarre. Fries were not invented in France at all. Fries were invented in the Flanders region of modern day Belgium. At that time Flanders and The Netherlands were basically one country. Flanders were the Southern Provences of The Netherlands. That is why so many Dutch southern provences share both Dutch an Belgian parts. And the language in Flanders is Dutch. And the fries culture in The Netherlands is basically the same as in Belgium. With thick double fried fries and eaten with majonaise. So you could even argue that fries are originally just as much a 'Dutch' invention as a 'Belgian' one :)
Herring is always frozen for at least 48 hours but often for months because of food regulations. The herring tastes fresh because it was frozen on the fishingboat within a few hour of catching the fish and defrosted the day or night before consumption.
Cool! Good to know. It’s been delicious. You dutchies are really specific and detail oriented about the Herring part of the video😂😉 love it! So cool!❤️
There is absolutely no patatoe in bitterballen. They make a roux with butter and flour, beef broth/stock is then added to the roux, then the rest of the ingredients such as ground beef, onion, parsley, salt and pepper and nutmeg.
Thanks for the video! Your tour guide was not correct about the crystals in the old cheese. They're not salt crystals but protein crystals. Eet smakelijk!
Thanks for letting us know! Either way the cheese was delicious 🤤 but now that you mentioned it, it didn’t really taste like salt crystals and protein crystals make way more sense! We love if you let us know such things so we can tell it correctly next time. And now I miss dutch cheese 🧀😅😋
Looks like quite a nice group tour. And such nice weather too, quite uncommon for The Netherlands. I think this tour is best for wetting your appetite. Because what was offered doesn't do fully justice to the breadth and depth of what is to be enjoyed. Best do an return tour.
@@MaddyandSascha First of all, like the cheese shop. I would definitely recommend anyone picking a quiet moment and ask the cheese shop owner to demonstrate a taste test. Start with the mildest cheese ('graskaas', 4-6 weeks matured) and then work your way up to the oldest cheese ('brokkelkaas' 3-4 years matured). Next to that a better quality jenever li Van Wees or Ooievaar. And the bitterballen come in a variety, from veal, beef, chees, and Indo. Combined I would not hesitate to offer the King of Great Britain the select combination of 'Zeer Oude Jenever' by Ooievaar, brokkelkaas, some varieties of mustard (Zaanse, Frisian, Groninger), and a full selection of bitterballen. Being a Dutchie I don't care about the King of Great Britain, but I would definitely offer that to my best friends. Only the bet for them. So you definitely need a team of Dutchies to help you on your next visit. Like you missed the freshly made stroopwafel (pronounced 'stroapwaahffel'), and the famous Febo-kroket. Unforgivable!
There is. By train, one hour from Amsterdam. Spakenburg! With a very big history. Come and have a look, and don't stay alone in (Holland). Greetings from Spakenburg, the Netherlands.
For Next Time u can try Saucijzenbrooodje ..those are Puff Pastry bread rolls with Minced Meat i guess u will like those ,u can by them at Hema or almost evry Fresh Dutch Bakery .and if they make it warm its even better...I really Like ur videos Greetings from Dordrecht/Netherlands✌
@@MaddyandSascha Yeah, that's true. But these people from Amsterdam always do our traditions to waste.. herring is to be had uncut and eaten holding by the tale. Amsterdam is not really Dutch.
What's your favorite place in Amsterdam to get FOOD?
Febo

Thanks!!❤️

Best do an return tour.
Yes it was a really nice tour! And we definitely need to come back for more food and exploring the city even further!😍

We make sure to check it out next time! Thank you so much!
Bitterballen are called as such because they used to be served with alcoholic beverages like bitters and jenever.
Now it makes total sense that we had them with the jenever 😅
Oh everything is so pretty. So much cheese yummy
some might say it’s the best…

Sounds great! Definitely going to try that next time! Thank you so much for the recommendation!❤️☺️
In oude kaas zitten geen zout kristallen, dit zijn eiwit kristallen!!
we will tell our guide, when we see him again 🙃 hope you liked the video anyway 😊
So ef--ing annoying; herring with a pickle eeew :( This is not done in the Netherlands only in Amsterdam.
We loved it.😍
onions only, no pickle.
Oh boy. Amsterdam herring. Cut into pieces.😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
He heard it originated in former times because of poverty the herring was cut into pieces to feed the whole family
@@MaddyandSascha Yeah, that's true. But these people from Amsterdam always do our traditions to waste.. herring is to be had uncut and eaten holding by the tale.
Amsterdam is not really Dutch.
Skip the pickles and unions with herring, you lose the real taste of the fish!!!
It’s been absolutely fantastic in combination. But also great without 😋
WTF were those Ukraine jokes at the end...not funny at all guy's
He had a very black humor indeed. 🙈
Funny is subjective
I guess not everyone likes dark humor
