When I get the munchies I chew some hash.

A little.

just wanted to know if this has a name or anything as was very yummy!!! i love the dutch version of 'sate' sauce!

That would be a 'frikandelletje oorlog'...you can have that sauce combo with chips too, it's called 'patatje oorlog', or literally 'war chips', as you correctly said. Maybe they fed the soldiers on this during the war? who knows, but it's what I always have...lekkere patatje oorlog alstublieft...

sorry for my ignorance roker but is it the first one which includes everything? frikandelletje oorlog? (including sauce,onions etc..) or the second one? would i have to ask for the sauce etc.. to come on it or if i asked for that would they know exactly what im after?

If you ask for 'een frikandel (letje*) oorlog' you will get a frikandel with mayo, sate sauce, and chopped onions. Same goes for the chips...ask for a 'patat (je*) oorlog' and you'll get chips with the same sauce combo. Try a berenklauw (Bears claw), with oorlog sauce...mmmmm

* optional but gives it a nice friendly informal tone. The Dutch love to add 'tje' or 'etje', or just 'je' to the end of words, eg 'bladzuiger', or 'bladzuigertje'...just gives it that bit more of a friendly tone imo...

and is it pronounced as you see it or . . ?

what is 'bears claw' ?

im open to try anything that hasnt come from the sea as i hate fish!

to start with, a gh is the throaty sound of a Dutch 'G', not to be confused with the much harsher 'ch' sound. The G is much softer especially in Belgium and Southern Holland, with the exception of Rotterdam, but they're all pickled anyway.

patatje =patat-ya (as in 'atat' from Star Wars, ya as in 'have ya got')
oorlog= or-logh (Like Loch Lomond pronounced correctly)

frikandel= frik-an-dell
frikandelletje=frik-an-dell-a-tya (As in 'haven'tya')

Berenklauw=beer-a-klou (As in 'cloud')

A berenklauw is basically a gehaktballetje (Large meat ball), sliced like you would a tomato but thicker, it has onion in between the slices and is held together by a wooden skewer. Usually you'd ask for sate sauce and they lash it over it...great snack/meal depending on how big your stomach is...available at most 'snackbars'.


Practice saying it 5 times and you'll get it...

i figure sushi is a munchie list item for me, why not raw hering?

Can't have Hollandse Nieuwe without onions...They're nice in a bread roll too for the squeamish ones who can't eat a raw fish with their head tilted back rather like a Herring Gull...

i seriously can't eat onions, they make me ill.... i will still try the hering solo....No bread, i love fish cooked or raw....

i may have just discovered munchie GOLD...... Appeltaart met slagroom from Cafe Winkel http://www.dishola.com/restaurants/view/1540
