Flemish man asks Gij noemt dat eten in disgust at bad food, a short Dutch voice clip from television used for cooking fails and gross meals.

A disgusted Flemish voice delivers the line Gij noemt dat eten, which translates to you call that food, with heavy disbelief and contempt. The delivery is blunt and drawn out, turning a simple complaint about a meal into a full judgment on whoever served it. It sounds like a man staring at a plate in shock, unable to accept it counts as edible. The humor comes from that exaggerated disgust, making the clip instantly clear even to listeners who do not speak Dutch and recognise the tone alone.

The phrase is Flemish Dutch and is widely shared online as a short reaction sound under its original wording, rather than in translation. Its appeal rests on the delivery, which communicates total disbelief without needing context about the meal or the speaker. As soundboard clips spread through Flemish and Dutch meme pages, short spoken lines like this became reusable punchlines for food photos and videos. Users keep returning to it because the question works for any disappointing plate, from restaurant disasters to home cooking experiments gone visibly wrong.

Pro Tip for Usage

✦ AI

Drop it the second a terrible plate is revealed, right before anyone takes a bite. Hold on the cook's proud face for a beat, then cut in the line clean with no music underneath so the disgusted Flemish delivery lands hardest.

Use Cases

✦ AI
  • Reacting to a friend's burnt homemade dinner reveal
  • Poking fun at questionable cafeteria food on camera
  • Adding disgust to a failed cooking video moment
