‘I bluffed that I can make really good shit’

She also doesn’t know why Kim had to bluff so that she can make a great joke, because she can’t get any further than opening a can of soup.

Kim (29): “As long as I’ve been in a relationship with Jeroen, I’ve heard the whole family give up about my mother-in-law’s pea soup. The same every winter: as soon as mom-in-law has cooked a pan, her sons and children come to eat a plate and they get a bowl to take home.

The best snert

I am Jeroen’s second wife and after having experienced this circus a few times, I boasted that I can make very good snert myself. I don’t know why, because until then I had never gotten further than opening a can of Unox. The group fell silent, my mother-in-law looked very surprised, but wanted to come and taste it the following Sunday.

Long story short: that week I practiced crazy with split peas, stock and smoked sausage. My friend was devastated, his children thought my soup was ‘unpalatable’. I ended up going through all the caterers until I found the perfect brew. My mother-in-law was very impressed and still praises my soup. Fortunately, we don’t live far from the caterer in question.”
