Tested: Albert Heijn’s famous HEMA hotdog look-alike

Instagram phenomenon @snackspert, known in mayonnaise-dipped circles as Eke Bosman, knows where to go for the best snacks. Whether it’s the highly praised loempidel or the best pizza in Amsterdam: Snackspert will point you in the right direction. This time, he’s testing Albert Heijn’s HEMA hotdog look-alike.

Albert Heijn’s HEMA hotdog

Found at Albert Heijn: the Cambuur Leeuwarden version of the famous HEMA hotdog. But thicker. And with a Gelderland smoked sausage. From the Compaxo brand. The second photo is actually proof that sending photos of your always-unattractive lamppost is never, ever a good idea. Anyway. It really is 99% a copy of HEMA’s recipe, but in terms of taste? Meh. The smoked sausage is perfectly fine, the baguette is nice and crunchy, but I really find the mustard sauce far too sharp here. I do miss the one from the other brand, which is a little sweeter. An okay snack, this one. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
