Snackspert is absolutely thrilled: “this cheese twister is one of the highest-scoring reviews ever!”
Eke Bosman, better known as Instagram phenomenon @snackspert, ate his first frikandel as a baby, hates vlammetjes, has devoured at least 1,000 burgers in his lifetime, suspects that there is more mayonnaise in his body than blood, and shares his best and worst snack reviews on FavorFlav every other week.
Lidl cheese twister
Who can say that they have had minutes of fun for less than one euro? That’s rare, but let me tell you something: it is possible. For 69 cents (yes, you read that correctly), you can get this cheese twister from Lidl and believe me, it may well be the best cheese snack I’ve had from the bakery section of a supermarket. The twister is nice and long, extra thick, truly Champions League level compared with other cheese twisters from certain supermarkets. They haven’t skimped on the cheese, nor on the dough—in fact, it’s practically perfect. So much fun for 69 cents; I know what I’d do. Therefore, because the price-quality ratio is absolutely spot-on: the maximum score. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A winter ball, fries with mayo and a cheese soufflé from Foppen’s Franse Frietjes, near ‘t Harde
Sometimes you just have to say fuck it and—if possible—get in the car to see where you can drive within a maximum radius of 35 minutes, and who knows, you might spot a legendary snack bar on the map. Well, that’s what I did yesterday, and at the request of many followers, here is my review of Foppen’s Franse Frietjes near ‘t Harde already. What a killer menu. Let me be brief but to the point about the fries: phenomenal, really nice and thin—could have been a little crispier—and with a wonderfully generous amount of mayo on top. I love it. Fortunately, there are places that are at least generous with their sauces; many snack bars could learn from that. But the real star of the menu is the winter ball, and believe me: please don’t underestimate it. I thought it would be a manageable size, but this meatball apparently weighs half a kilo, and of course I couldn’t finish it. But what a fantastic ball; wonderfully soft thanks to the long cooking time, well seasoned, and not dry at all. A minor downside is that it’s a little too salty, which meant I drank as much water that evening as a footballer who had given everything for 90 minutes. Oh, and the cheese soufflé was fine too, by the way, but anyway. What a top-notch place, there near ‘t Harde. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Brander Mayonnaise
I don’t often review sauces, only when they are truly special and deserve more attention. As the self-proclaimed biggest fan of Oliehoorn fritessaus, I was therefore very curious about their Brander mayonnaise, named after that special sauce from cafetaria Brander in Groningen. And now it’s simply available in the supermarket! I’m very happy about that, because what a delicious mayonnaise—and how wonderfully distinctive it is from all the other types of mayonnaise I’ve tasted. This mayo contains a little more mustard, pieces of pepper, and is also a little more seasoned—I detect a hint of curry, but only very subtly. A minor downside is that it feels quite rich, so be careful if you order five frikandellen, one large portion of fries and a mexicano, because this somewhat fattier mayonnaise may not be so easy to finish. But it is delicious; I can imagine it would be a real hit with an eierbal. Or is there another snack that is ideal with Brander mayonnaise? Let me know. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
