Or so I thought! Thanks to a tip online, I found out about their gluten free products - and wow, they have a really impressive selection! Roze koeken, kruidnootjes, snelle henkie, pain provence, and appel muffin were among my choices, and although I haven't eaten them all yet, so far everything is really tasty. Not the usual texture problems with gluten free items. Everything is individually wrapped. So glad to have found them - definitely a step up from the packaged stuff at the supermarkets.

But we knew we had to try it, and life is short. It is a tiny stand located along a central canal in the heart of the city. Business is hopping here. We got the picked herring and kibbeling, which are the main staples here. The pickled herring was, well, something you either love or don't. It has somewhat of a gelatinous texture that can be off-putting, but when you take a bite with the sides of sweet pickles and onions, it shines. The Kibbeling was out of this world. Perfectly fried with a crunchy batter that had a hint of, hmmm, curry, maybe. It was amazing. Although the batter was thick and tasty, it didn't outdo the delicious cod. The staff here was friendly, and having this Dutch food along a canal in Amsterdam made for a memorable experience. There are plenty of places to sit near the stand - enjoy this tasty food and watch the world go by.

Most herring I had eaten was Swedish herring or "sill" usually prepared in a pickled solution. We returned to this stand, located near the Bloemenmarkt, across from UNIQLO. It was quite a popular area, located on a bend over a canal with trams and trolleys rolling by. The line on the two days we were there wasn't long and waited less than 5 minutes both times to place our order. The first stop I bought one order of herring with pickles, onion and the "Nederlandse vlag." We returned two days later and purchased another order of the herring and a herring sandwich with the herring served on a simple white roll with onion and pickles. Both were excellent. Didn't sample the fried cod, eel sandwich or the mackerel. Would I return? Without a doubt! While we had some excellent food in Amsterdam, Frens topped my list as a must visit stand when walking around Amsterdam!

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.

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.

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.
