DUTCH CHIPS 😍

Another thing I absolutely LOVE about being back in Holland…the chips (patat) at the markets 💙

But the best part has to be the SAUCES. In NZ we’re pretty used to tomato sauce with our chips and mayo, but here in the Netherlands there are sooo many different options, here are a few:
Patat met – chips with mayo
Patat pinda – chips with warm peanut/satay sauce
Patat speciaal – mayo, curry sauce and chopped raw onions
Patatje oorlog – literally translates to “war fries” Usually mayo, peanut/satay sauce & chopped onions
Joppiesaus – a sweet, creamy curry/onion-style sauce

Today I had Patatje oorlog, my fave 👌🏼

If you were ordering Dutch chips, which sauce are you choosing?

🇳🇱 POFFERTJES or PANNENKOEK? 🥞

Another Dutch food comparison for you…

One thing that’s quite different here in the Netherlands compared with back home in NZ is that pancakes definitely aren’t just a breakfast food. They can be eaten for lunch, dinner or as a sweet treat.

PANNENKOEK (Dutch pancake)
Growing up, we would have pannenkoeken for dinner every so often, and I absolutely loved it! Usually with cheese.
Dutch pancakes are quite different from the pancakes we usually have back home. They’re much larger and thinner, usually about the size of your dinner plate.
And the best part is you can go sweet and/or savoury. Bacon, cheese, apple or Nutella, maple syrup and icing sugar. You’ll even find restaurants here dedicated entirely to pancakes, called pannenkoekenhuizen like the place we went today called Oma Toos.

POFFERTJES
These are small, fluffy, slightly puffy pancakes cooked in a special pan with little round indentations. Traditionally they’re served warm with butter and a VERY generous dusting of icing sugar. They’re especially popular at markets, fairs and festivals.
Today Essie had hers with strawberries, but you can almost anything to them.
They’re completely different to a pannenkoek, soft and fluffy, bite-sized and dangerously easy to keep eating. 😂

Poffertjes or Pannenkoek, which one are you choosing?!

BUNBUN AMSTERDAM 🥐

Okay, another food stop while we’re in Holland… because apparently I’ve turned this trip into a food tour. 😂

Croissants are SO popular here in the Netherlands. Obviously they’re French, not Dutch, but you see them everywhere.
And in the Netherlands they don’t just stick to plain croissants either! You’ll find them filled with cheese, ham and cheese, chocolate and all sorts of other sweet and savoury fillings.

BunBun takes it to another level though. They use that layered, buttery croissant-style dough, but make it into buns with different sweet and savoury flavours.

And the shop itself is TINY! They call themselves the smallest bakehouse in the Netherlands.

Crispy and flaky on the outside, soft on the inside… basically all the good parts of a croissant turned into a bun. 😂

I had strawberry biscoff cheesecake 😋

Well… obviously we couldn’t come to Holland and NOT try some pies! However I forgot to take a pic of the Apple pie itself 😂

Today at the Noordermarkt we stopped at Winkel 43 to try their famous Dutch appeltaart..Apparently this place is so well known for its apple pie that there can sometimes be a line around the square just to get in!

Dutch apple pie is a little different to what we’re used to, it has a thick, buttery crust packed with big chunks of apple and plenty of cinnamon

I love apple pie so this was definitely going to be a winner.

We get messages every so often for us to make Apple pies again, maybe we should bring them back? Have you tried Dutch appeltaart (apple pie) before?

I have been SUPER jet lagged, so the Holland food posts have been pretty much non-existent so far 😂 But Friday we finally made it to the Noordermarkt in Amsterdam!

And of course… we had to get a freshly made stroopwafel, these cost €4 😅

If you’ve never had one, a stroopwafel is a classic Dutch treat made from two thin, crispy waffle biscuits with a warm, gooey caramel like syrup filling in the middle. They’re sweet, buttery, a little chewy in the centre and have hints of caramel and cinnamon, SO good, especially when they’re made fresh and still warm!

Have you tried a stroopwafel before??

It might not look like a big deal to everyone… but to us, this is VERY exciting 😂

After a long wait, we’re finally using our brand-new pie trays! Our old tins/trays have made a lot of Keripies over the years, so it was definitely time for an upgrade. We have used single pie tins in Keripies for over 25 years.

A massive thank you to PoutamaTrust for the funding support that helped us make this upgrade possible. 💙 We’re incredibly grateful for the support and investment into our little family business.

Essie (our daughter) and I are heading off to Holland to spend some very special time with my family.

For those who don’t know, I was born in Holland, so being able to take Essie over, spend time with our Dutch family and show her a little more of where I come from is pretty special.

I’ve also been absolutely loving sharing more of the behind-the-scenes of Keripies with you all lately, and I definitely plan on keeping that going!

While we’re away, I thought it could be fun to take you along for a little bit of Holland too. Maybe we’ll share some Dutch foods, show you a few things we get up to… and of course, I think it would only be right for us to hunt down a Dutch pie or two and see how they compare to a Keripies pie 😂

Don’t worry though, Heremaia and the team will be holding down the fort back home and keeping the pies rolling while we’re away 💙
