Vind je het lekker paarden te eten? Dit is jouw plaats!…read more One of the last remaining horse butchers around. You are literally walking into history in this store because horse meat used to be a primary food source to the lower class in the Netherlands. When I first walked by this store, I thought they used the wrong clip-art for the sign and placed a horse in error of a cow. That wasn't the case. Some thoughts to prepare you: don't think happy thoughts - like black beauty, rocinante, or wild horses running free. Go to the zoo if you need that; this is not the time. Think lekker thoughts - this horse did not die in vain. You are about to embark on a culinary journey that will turn you into a horse-eating monster (in the eyes of some people). Also, make sure you know enough Dutch to place your order. English will not get you far here. They are open some weekdays and Saturday mornings. When you enter, you will be greeted by two lovely dames that will be happy to take your order. You should get as much huisgerookt "paardenwurst" as you can carry. If they have bacon (one of the only non-horse products in the store) - snatch that up fast. The other cuts of meat are extremely lean and a bit gamey (think between beef and venison).

From the owner: Slagerij Beerens is nog een echte ambachtelijke slagerij, maar wél van deze tijd. De slagerij is al…read moremeer dan 80 jaar gevestigd aan de Kruisstraat 112 te Eindhoven. In 1926 startte opa Willem Beerens de zaak, die met hard werken en oog houden voor kwaliteit en service, voortgezet is door zoon Wim Beerens. Inmiddels heeft de derde generatie, Theo Beerens, de scepter over genomen en is de zaak verder uitgegroeid tot een volwaardige vlees- en eetwinkel.

Stopped by Slagerij Dungelmann for a quick snack. I heard their croquette was one of the best, and…read morewanted to try out this traditional Danish snack. The main location was closed on the Saturday that I visited, so I went to the stall they have in the Passage. The service was quick and efficient, and my reliance on English was not a problem at all. One croquette was just under 3 euros, and it was handed to me piping hot. The outside was crispy and crunchy, and the inside was filled with a smooth mixture of what tasted like meat and potatoes. Overall, it was yummy and a good snack! I got it with the sauce they offered, which turned out to be a semi-mild mustard.

Missing some quality meat, we decided to take a trip by bike for buying some pieces…read more Modern and very clean inside, very friendly too. We bought a been Black Angus (+/- 922 gr) and paid 29.50 euro. The merguez are super, the best we ate in Belgium ! The sausage 'Thai beef' (1.73 euro) and with fennel (1.78 euro) were not our taste, sorry. The brochette 'trio dry aged' (3.31 euro) was good. The chimichurri brochette (8.58 euro) was.. S P L E N D I D. Very tasteful and super tender ! Njammie !! The cold cuts (= charcuterie) are - in our eyes - better for snacks. We bought some 'oma's koek' (too firm), américan prepare (we must still taste it) and some strassbourg. To summarize : it's hard to find such a special and good meat. We will come back, that's for sure.
