In case you did not find out where the name kapsalon came from; The story of the snack kapsalon starts in 2003 with the hairdresser Nataniël "Tati" Gomes (1976-2023). The hairdresser asked for a bowl of fries with shawarma, cheese, sambal and garlic sauce at the Rotterdam kebab shop El Aviva. The boss of the business, Dervis Bengü, immediately named the snack 'kapsalon' (hair salon) - after Gomes' profession. The name stuck and is now sold all over the country by kebab shops & many Snackbars.

Why is a platypus called a vogelbekdier? The platypus is a crazy animal. It has the characteristics of three other animals. It has the beak of a duck, the body of a mole and the tail of a beaver. The beak of a platypus is not hard like that of birds, but softer, so it can dig around in the mud. Mammal or bird? The platypus is a mammal, but lays eggs like a bird. The eggs are very small and blue, yellow and white in color. Platypuses grow to about 60 centimeters in length and weigh 1 to 2 kilos. The animals live in rivers in Australia and Tasmania. Platypuses love to eat! They like worms, frogs, crustaceans, shrimps, frogspawn and insects. They eat up to 1 kilo of food per day!

Ohmy, Combust, don't write of 'patatje oorlog' before you tried it! It is genius and delicious! The creamy sour of the mayonaise balances the sweet spicyness of the saté perfectly, and that on top of the salty fries makes every bite a journey in flavor. I am SURE you'll love it!

A kapsalon is a Dutch dish consisting of fries covered with shawarma, topped with cheese, briefly placed under the grill so that the cheese melts, with salad on top. Instead of shawarma, the kapsalon is also prepared with kebab, döner, gyros or chicken. The kapsalon served with garlic sauce and sambal. The sauce is under the cheese and lettuce and above the fries.

Best way of learning dutch seeings is “listening to Louis van Gaal in his english voetbal/soccer period” 😂

Ezelsbruggetjes: Mnemonics: There are few people who don't use tricks to remember things - who don't use mnemonics. But where does this come from? The word probably comes from the fact that a donkey only needs a very small bridge, such as a plank, to get where he needs to go, but without that aid - without that trick - he can't do it. (A fun fact. In the first century AD, Pliny writes about donkeys that do not want to walk over a bridge. If the donkeys see the water through them, the donkeys have to be guided to walk over a bridge)

Ok, I have to object here. Bollen and ballen are different words. Bollen means orbs/bulbs, while ballen means balls in both sports and obscene meanings.

Did she just add cheese into a patatje oorlog? That is an act of war indeed, there is no cheese in a patatje oorlog. Which part of the Patat Oorlog is the "no no no" for you? Peanutsauce, Mayonaise and onions combined is awesome on fries.

If I'm not mistaken, there is a snack store in Eindhoven - and maybe it's not the only one - which sells a 'friet kernoorlog' (literally 'fries nuclear war'). The difference between that and the regular one is that curry sauce is added as well. I believe this kind of topping has been called 'war' because it wasn't expected that the cold and slightly both salty and sour mayonaise and the warm/hot peanut sauce could work as a good combination. Also, I don't know if it's true (probably not), but there have been stories about the colors of both sauces and the origins of both combined being a representation of racial riots. I think it's nonsense. However, it seems more reasonable to believe that our history with the Dutch East Indies has something to do with the invention of this topping (saté/peanut sauce from the east, mayonaise from the west).

Klokhuis - Imagine an old wall or standing clock with 2 weights attached by chains. These weights were sometimes enclosed in the case(housing) of the clock and sometimes these were visible from the outside through an opening. Now imagine the weights being apple seeds and you get to the clock house idea. Handschoenen - If i remember this correctly then Dutch is completely correct in using the word shoe for covering hands. I think Modern English is limiting the use for feet only while it had a broader meaning originally, a long time ago.

What does 'Now the monkey comes out of the sleeve' mean and where does this expression come from? When it suddenly becomes clear how something is going, or when someone's true intention or character is finally revealed, it is very common to exclaim "Now the monkey is out of the sleeve!" This expression probably goes back to a monkey who was literally in a sleeve. Some artists used to hide a monkey up their sleeve that had to emerge unexpectedly at a certain moment.

I for myself find peanut and butter strange. Pinda I don't know where it is coming from, but I grew up calling it aardnoten. Now, in some former British colonies they call it groundnuts. Hey, ground (aard) nuts (noten)! If you grind it, you're getting groundnut paste and that's how our kids call pindakaas in the house.

I think do nuts is “ weird” Beating around the bush? Whaat!

You can’t say pindaboter/peanut butter because butter can only be used for the butter you make from milk. In the oldern days in China, rich woman often had a small pet dog or monkey in the sleeve of their clothing. It could come out and that would be a surprise. In those days, the dutch were the only foreign nation who could trade with China.

Een schildpad - pad-achtige kop - toad-like head. We'll start with the word shield(schild)There is a sturdy housing around the animal. That is a shield, and the shield protects the animal from outside things. “EU” toad (pad) that has to do with the language of ancient times (The Dutch word turtle is derived from the late Middle Dutch (Diets) sciltpadde, and refers to the toad-like head of the animals and the clear shield in which the body is hidden In Middle Dutch, turtlede became the common spelling. In German, turtles are called schildkröten, kröte means toad.

As a Polish who living in the Netherlands for 41 years i know all the habbits of this country. And one of the best snack foods is the Patatje Oorlog, and for a foreigner it sounds a bit odd this food but in the Netherlands you have the Indonesian influence of there food so it's the best tasting foods of the world if you ask me but that's why the Dutch use a lot saté sauce. Even i put in on different kind of foods and i adore it with the spicy sambals 😂😂. Just a thing of the crazy Dutchies.

There are also English sayings which sound strange in Dutch. In the Netherlands it's quite weird to say: 'Het regent katten en honden'.

Maybe you shouldn't write of the "patatje oorlog" so easely. It is almost never made with mayonaise, but with frietsaus(fries-sauce). That is not as soure as mayonaise. And in the northern half of the country, we do not put unions on it. Tastes really good.

NO WAYYY !!! Patatje oorlog is just mayo/peanutsauce and onions.. she said there was more on it, which is just not true!!!

So how far is "under standing" from "under the knee"?

sure makes you think, how thinking processes in general are shaped by language eh? Even English is a hodgepodge or many languages, like a formal kinda Pidgin or something, just all stemming from similar tribes of course.... language is fascinating, which is also why songs and stories with music and poetry is so damn fun. we love little patterns in the brain that just take us away, and sometimes hypnotizes us into a wonderful daydream, or not so wonderful........ but the sharing of thought and thought patterns is fun. here is something you can trick someone with, my grandmother taught me as a kid, there are two tricks to play on people to mess with mind a bit and make them and you laugh. they have to answer the question as naturally quick as expected for a simple question. here goes number one.... first you tell them: [you] "spell POTS"......... [them] "P-O-T-S" [you] "What do you do at a green light?" [them will probably say stop] second trick: [you] "Spell FOLK as in old folk" [them] "F-O-L-K" [you] "What's the white stuff in an egg?" [them will probbly say yolk}

Unions don't belong on a patatje oorlog. Unions are used with curry and mayonaise and it's called patat speciaal.

Een kat in de zak kopen: To buy a cat in a bag = getting scammed

You should try Patatje Oorlog!

the dutch discovered and owned Tasmania for a while, they were not the first to discover the platypus, but they did come up with the name before platypus was the official name, so it's not one that is changed from latin to dutch, also kangaroo and koala aren't english names, they are aboriginal names, the english and dutch just adopted the original aboriginal name into their language so not being creative goes to the english as well
