00:00 Hi, my name's Jacob Hammonds, I'm a reporter for Sussex World and today we're in Amsterdam
00:04 because we're reporting on Brighton's away fixture at Ajax in the Europa League.
00:08 And we're going to try some of the local delicacies.
00:10 So here I've got some herring, herring, pickles and a bit of onion there in the hot dog bun.
00:15 This costs €3.50, so relatively cheap, perfect setting. Let's give it a go.
00:20 Lovely. Yeah, I had this last time I was in Amsterdam, absolutely loved it.
00:26 You see in there it's pretty much just raw, it's cold, it's lovely, it's not too fishy,
00:31 it's got a great flavour to it, it's great with the pickles. I would say the best pickles in
00:35 Holland and yeah, brilliant. If you're in Amsterdam, Brighton fans, make sure you give this a try.
00:39 Now I've got some chips from Manneken Pis, I hope I pronounced that right. Apparently it's the famous
00:44 chip shop here. As you can see they're a bit different, they're kind of like chip shop chips
00:48 from back home but give them a go. I've got some curry sauce on them but I'll give them a try.
00:52 They're nice, you know, well seasoned and the thing is I think whenever you get a chip it's
00:56 always going to be alright. It's a good chip but I mean not necessarily an amazing chip,
00:59 I'd probably give it like a 7.5 out of 10 but I think with chips, you know,
01:02 there's only a certain level it can get to but nah yeah, pretty decent.
01:05 So we are outside Frinds Harding Handling, I don't know if I pronounced that right,
01:10 and we've got some, how do you pronounce this? Kibbeling. It's like fried fish,
01:14 so it's kind of like fish and chips but I've had it here before.
01:17 It's a lot better than fish and chips, I have to admit. We had some herring as well on the plate,
01:20 it's beautiful so we'll give this a go. It's got some seasoning on it as you can kind of see there.
01:25 It's so soft, yeah, so nice, that seasoning on top is just beautiful. Yeah, definitely check this
01:35 one out if you're in the town. Right, just down the road from where we tried the herring, we're
01:39 now outside Van Stapelmans which is famous for its cookies. I've tried them once before but
01:44 they were incredible so I'm going to try them again and see if they're just as good.
01:47 Amazing, honestly the best cookie you can ever taste anywhere in my opinion. It is amazing,
01:59 so soft, so tender, so chocolatey. 10 out of 10 for me and the number one place to go for
02:04 desserts or cookies in Amsterdam.
02:07 number one place to go for desserts or cookies in Amsterdam.
