Dutch Foods To Try
Dutch Foods To Try - There are a lot of delicious foods to try in The Netherlands so we put together our own little DIY Dutch food tour to try as many as possible.
One special Dutch food to try in The Netherlands is poffertjes - also known as the world’s cutest little pancakes. They are teeny tiny, fluffy, and melt in your mouth. They taste heavenly and you shouldn't miss trying them because they are seriously delicious and unique. I loved seeing how they’re made fresh to order in a poffertjespan. I found watching how they are flipped over super quickly was a bit hypnotic. You can get them with all sorts of toppings. My personal choice was chocolate sauce and powdered sugar. You generally order these by the dozen and you could eat as many and hardly notice because they’re so light and airy, unlike American pancakes. These Dutch cuties were one of my favourite things we tried in The Netherlands.
A lot of Dutch snack foods are deep fried. One of the most popular is called a frikandel. It’s basically a minced-meat, skinless sausage that’s deep fried. Very similar to a hot dog. Personally the best part of this snack for me was the sauce. The ‘frinkandel speciaal’ is eaten with mayonnaise, curry ketchup, and chopped onion. It has a nice sweet taste.
Another popular Dutch snack food is called a kaassouffle (cheese souffle). It’s melted cheese, usually Gouda, inside a doughy wrap that’s then deep fried. Cheese is important in The Netherlands and eaten widely. I have yet to see a Dutch refrigerator without a huge block of Gouda in it. Along with the poffertjes, the kaassouffle was my favourite Dutch snack food we tried. It’s pretty much deep fried cheese so what’s not to love?
Krokets are a Dutch food you’ll see everywhere and they look similar at first glance to a kaassouffle. A kroket is usually cylindrical and filled with meat. As you might have guessed, it’s also deep fried. It’s long been an economical way to use leftovers of meat stew and roasts which are then mixed with gravy, rolled into logs, breaded, and fried. It became really popular during World War II as a cheap food. It’s crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
Stroopwaffel is quintessentially Dutch. It means syrup waffle and is made by baking a thin waffle and, while it’s still warm, breaking it in two. Then a warm caramel-like filling is added before the two halves are pushed back together, using the syrup as glue. They’re very popular to eat on their own or with other sweets.
We also tried Surinamese and Javanese food, which is widely available in The Netherlands. Suriname and Indonesia were colonized by the Dutch and I was excited to try this type of food as I had never seen it before. My sample dish came with chicken, potato, hard boiled egg, noodles with peanut sauce, rice, vegetables and bread. For dessert, we had a deep fried banana with peanut sauce. I also tried a Surinamese soda called Cherry Bouquet but it was way too sweet for me - even though I have a massive sweet tooth.
I included fries in this video even though they’re Belgian, not Dutch. But they’re really popular in The Netherlands and I didn’t think I could make a video about foods to try there without including fries. Make sure you try them with lots of different sauces. My favourite is truffle mayonnaise followed closely by curry mayonnaise.
I hope that you enjoyed seeing these different Dutch foods to try in The Netherlands. I’d love to know which food you’d most like to try if you had the opportunity. Or, if you’ve already tried them, which is your favourite?

When done, strain the potatoes carrots and union put it back in the pan with the butter. Take a potato musher or hand held blender and mush together, until a course texture. It's prefered to use the musher for this, but it's not realy a common kitchen aid in different countries I believe. Finish with salt and pepper. Some people put about 50 ml of warmed milk with the butter in it too, but I find the course texture will be lost. Served with: a good meat gravy and Meatbal beaf stew (my personal fav) Chicken legs traditional dutch smoked sausage. bacon

The fish in British fish 'n chips is quite similar, fish filet in a heavy batter, then fried, the main difference is kibbeling are morsels of fish in stead of a complete filet, and the batter tends to be a bit thicker and crunchier, plus it's served with a sauce in stead of salt and vinegar. If made well, both are great.

I like your friendly, joyful and wel formulated discriptions of the dutch food. Great that you included surinam food as well. You should try barra, also from the surinam kitchen! Btw, i subscribed. Your presentation is the best ever!
This is mainly fastfood, and though regarded as typically Dutch a rather large part has a foreign origin. The frikandel is a postwar Dutch invention by Gerrit de Vries and the name is derived from frikadel (without the n) which is a kind of meatball. He mixed meat with flour but wasn't allowed to call it frikadel (not pure meat) so changed the shape and cut out the n. The kroket is the Dutch (modern) spelling of croquette, the origin is early 18th century in France. Fries are Belgium fries as you mentioned. The poffertjes are regarded as something typically Dutch but the origin is also France, just like the pancake (like the French crepe but much thicker). You can put anything on poffertjes but most common is just some powdered sugar and butter. The kaassoufflé is a Dutch invention by Hans van Bemmel (in 1969) and based on a much lighter version in the French and Italian cuisine, hence the "soufflé". A stroopwafel is truly Dutch, invented early 19th century in the city of Gouda. Food from Suriname is not common but Indonesian food can be found anywhere. That is because the latter is served by almost all Chinese restaurants in our country that serve a mix of Indonesian and Chinese food (which by the way is adapted to Dutch taste).

@David Dylan: The Netherland isn't the same as Amsterdam. I know, that might be hard to accept, but most dutch people actually live somewhere else. I was born and partially raised in A'dam but live elsewhere now. Surinam food is available outside of A'dam, but it's nowhere near as common as chinese/indonesian food. So no, not common. It's actually more common to find a italian or greek restaurant than a surinam one.

Your personality was a joy to watch - which means you're probably fun to be around. As the old saying goes, you could sell ice to an Eskimo. Great job! It makes me wonder if there are any fast food places here in the states that have these foods, If there aren't, there should be!
I'm in the Netherlands now! Ordering everything in this video, just because I can!

Lucky!! Have some poffertjes for me please ;)
Both you and Marc looked so pensive and serious when you were trying each of the foods...like you were trying to solve a math equation in your heads! Maybe you were trying to figure out what was in them, and not just the croquettes?

haha you're right - I think we were concentrating on all the flavours and evaluating it all in our heads before deciding if it tasted good or not?? Wasn't immediate, I guess! Trying deep fried foods is obviously very serious business ;)

she talked Indonesian and Surinam foods, roti being a Surinam version of Indian (from India) food. Surinam food is actually a very well done fusion cuisine.

The Surinamese folded crepe you're describing is called Roti. There's a lot more fried food to try, bitterballen, nasibal, bamibal, picanto, mexicano, kibbeling, lekkerbek, just to name a few....
Well who knows who trully invented the fries, Belgium was part of the Netherlands in History, hence it is difficult to say. Some say it was actually the spanish that invented the fries, but heck who cares. The Dutch fries are different from belgium fries and french fries are these small mini shaped fries, but we can say with certainty it was not the french because they are called french fries as this was just a mistake of Americans.

Soon, if all goes well, they will be only sold as Belgian Fries. Proposal has been introduced at the Unesco to recognize that food as cultural heritage of Belgium.

Well that's not going to help. What we call Vlaamse Frites is quite different to Patat. And again different to franse frites. So...don't go getting your hopes up that we (the dutch) we start calling it belgian fries anytime soon...even if the name is deserved (as again, I don't know where it originated....but frankly, I don't really care either)

We care, as Belgians. There is a reason that we filed the origines of French, correction Belgian, Fries at the UNESCO to protect the heritage of it.

Thumbs up for the poffertjes! I haven't tried them - actually, I haven't even seen them there! - but I LOVE pancakes...definitely on my list for my next visit! Thanks again, Eileen! :-)

SO. GOOD. 😋
My all time favourite is the smoked eel. It’s absolutely delicious and so is the pickled herrings. The eel is an abundant food but is considered a delicacy and the price reflects it. I found it for half the price in a Lidl in Amsterdam. I took a dozen packs back home with me, thinking I could freeze them, I’m afraid greed got the better of me and I finished them in 3 days. Vacuum packing certainly gives them a longer shelf life. Can’t wait to try them again on my next visit to the beautiful Netherlands and it’s friendly people👍❤️❤️

The Herring is unreal good, I eat it almost everyday, The eel is way good too, We love Dutch cheese its the best in Europe, as is the Beer its by far the best in the World, Dutch Beer is all over the world for a reason...I enjoy sitting out side eating Herring, drinking beer, its my favorite thing to do in The Netherlands...
I'm dutch so I get to eat all of this all the time
Like als je ook Nederlands ben👍🏽
Sauces like mayonaise and tomato-sauce are disgusting and only used by people that don't like the original taste of the food. Only exception is saté-sauce (peanut-sauce) with your fries. Not OVER the fries, but apart so you can dip and decide yourself how many sauce you want!
my hubby comes from the Netherlands a little town called Geldrop,, and we go almost every year and stay with family,, l have tried everything you mentioned,, except your, frikadel is served plain,, what you had was the fridadel speciaal ,, but the truffle mayo is't common,, or l would be getting every time we went there,, l just love Holland and l don't thing you mentioned the Bami,, OMG, that is another thing you must try.
The French have the reputation,, but our food is actually great. A Canadian cousin of mine has a Dutch restaurant in Regina, called ''The Golden Windmill" It's been a huge success for more than 40 years. Typical menu's; Starter; Snert (pea and pork soup) Main dish; Stamppot zuurkool met rookworst (sauerkraut and potato mash, with diced fried unions and a smoked saucage with mustard sauce.) Desert; Karnemelkse pap (buttermilk porridge with rasins soaked in brandy, topped with brown sugar and melasse syrup). Starter; Tomatensoep (tomato soup with small meat balls) Main dish; Rode kool met draadjesvlees (cooked red cabbage with apple-cinnamon cooked potatoes, and slowly stewed beef with beef/black pepper sauce) Desert; Vlaflip (yoghurt and vanilla custard with orange lemonade syrup and whipped cream.) And a lot special fish dishes. Not for vegans!
Oh my Gosh, I was in the Netherlands a year ago and I didn't get to experience every delicacy that is Holland, in fact I didn't know a few of these even existed. So now I'm planning my next trip....I know what I will eat. I really want the croquette...and the fried Gouda...not to mention. The Indonesian food I ate was dream worthy. I've longed for that cuisine. My hotel this year has a suramese place down the road....mmmm Ik hebben honger. Dank je wel.

Nice vid covering different foods for a change. Glad you liked it and keep it up.tip on spicy: Vlamtosti. It is like a grilled ham and cheese but now the ham is changed to a very spicy grind meat. I like it a lot myself.

omg that's a really difficult question, but then I really can't choose, I think the stroopwafel, poffertjes and frikandel are very tasty, I eat it almost every week! it is so delicious😍 i love it so much our food in the netherlands😁
Croquettes, pickled herring and frietze are my favourites (hopefully I spelled them correctly 😀). I had them everyday the last time I went to the Netherlands.
