One of the best things I ate during my entire 3-week trip to Belgium and the Netherlands is a…read morefreshly-made stroopwafel I got at a farmer's market in Delft. The business has been making stroopwafels from a homemade recipe since 1951. Three generations have been selling stroopwafels in farmers markets across the Netherlands. They have a fixed schedule on which markets they sell on which days. Since it's market day in Delft on Thursdays, they set up shop in Delft on Thursdays. They have various stroopwafels at different price points. Most of them are made the day before and are packaged for later consumption or for gifts. However there is a person also making fresh stroopwafels and you can get this for €1.30. Cash only. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND HAVE A FRESH STROOPWAFEL. Trust me, that shit's life-changing. (Apologies for the lack of pictures as I ate the entire thing within minutes of purchase. It's really that good. No need to warm it over a coffee nor does it taste of preservatives like the ones you can get at Costco.) Well worth the penance of walking 376 steps climbing the tower of Nieuwe Kerk!

I am not the biggest herring fan, but it was worth a first try. It tastes kind of like sushi fish with onions. Most of their seafood items can be served on a bun as a sandwich. As far as Dutch snacks go, this is a good stop for local seafood bites.

Frens Haringhandel was my favorite stop for food on a recent trip to Amsterdam. On my first visit I…read moretried the Herring Sandwich. Soft bread was filled with soft tender fresh herring (which had no fishiness in its flavor), crisp onions and tangy pickles. I understand why this is a popular street food. On my second visit I had the Fried Cod. Meaty and flakey nuggets of Cod were coated in a perfectly crisp breading with a nice saltiness and flavorful spices. The side of tartar sauce was heavenly creamy, sweet and tangy. Frens Haringhandel is a must visit.

I genuinely think poffertjes should be a required food worldwide…read more We got some at Albert Cuyp Market and honestly... perfect. Super fluffy, warm, covered in plenty of powdered sugar, and exactly what I wanted after walking around Amsterdam all day. People add toppings and sauces and all kinds of extras, but these didn't even need it. Just give me the pancakes and the sugar and leave me alone for a minute. I would happily eat a billion of them.

It was delicious! The herring was pickled, I believe, so it wasn't really "raw". I shared the sandwich with my travel companion, but I could've easily finished one by myself! Definitely worth the stop and would make this a must-have again!

I had it with bread; I love my carbs! The herring is placed between a hog dog bun, with a pickle, and white onions. Simple. Delicious. Inexpensive. Convenient for on-the-go goodness!

Fresh, hot, and authentic! These fries are made from real Dutch potatoes and are perfectly crispy…read more The peanut sauce is a standout (and they offer free refills!). It's a small, cozy shop with some outdoor seating. The solo staff member was super efficient and welcoming. Don't forget to try the bitterballen too!

Now, after a while, I can honestly give to Pomms' 4 stars! The potatoes are organic and fresh, made under your eyes and also the sauces (mayo, ketchup and peanut butter) are good! The staff is friendly and there are some spots where you can sit included a few wooden swings. Just in front of Bijnkoorf, perfect for a pit stop during a walk or a shopping tour! I like it! :)

I walked around all the food places that mostly have fried fish and meats, and decided to try the vegetable bibimbap. It was delicious! Steamed rice with carrots, cucumbers, pickled radish, tofu, and avocado. All very fresh... Topped with 3 different kinds of light sauces and sesame seeds. Loved it! I'd definitely come back and choose to eat here over the greasy fried and heavily sauced places in this mall.

The Big Apple is known for its small hotdog stands whereas in Rotterdam we can trump that one! Hans Worst is everything you would like a hot dog to be and then a little bit more. Not only can you find Hans Worst on top of the famous Koopgoot but you can also find them as traveling entrepreneurs as well. You could catch these guys at festivals, cd-releases (especially when Three Dead Mexicans on a Skateboard is playing) and even at Schorem Haarsnijder En Barbier. There sausages are made of 100% organic pork or beef and come with toppings of your choice. Bacon, sauerkraut, chili sauce or sambal it is yours for the taking. It is a feast for the senses as they will always have some good tunes playing in the background as well!

Maar Hans Worst hoeft zijn waar niet eens schreeuwend aan te prijzen, de mensen komen vanzelf op het kraampje af. En dat is logisch want deze man staat al sinds 2002 heerlijke hotdogs te verkopen op precies dezelfde plek. Na 10 jaar weten mensen zijn heerlijke hotdogs vanzelf te vinden en als je niet genoeg hebt aan 1 broodje op straat tijdens het winkelen dan is de kraam ook in te huren voor feesten en partijen en kun je de hele avond hotdogs verorberen. En saai is dat helemaal niet want met meer dan 13 soorten toppings (mijn favo zijn de chilibonen, kaassaus of gebakken uitjes) kun je elke keer wat anders krijgen. Het adres dat bij de zaak vermeld staat is van de C&A maar hij staat dus altijd pal voor deze winkel!

The fries are wedges, but then cut down the middle of the back so they fry up crisp and are actually seasoned including with salt (a rarety in Amsterdam). The star was the double fatboy burger though, two nice sized patties with great texture and flavor oozing hot grease and living up to the name. The real cheddar cheese was nicely melted and the bun was so toasted the edges were crisp. The thick cut bacon was plentiful and brought the salt. Lettuce, tomato and pickle complemented the whole packacge nicely and brought variety to the flavor and texture of the burger.
