I saw this as a kid in 1979, and it has always stuck with me. It was a show from the Netherlands about two kids solving a mystery, and they had like an adult man helping them out.

One scene I remember is them going to a pickled herring cart on the street and getting pickled herring and just guzzling it right there.

Any ideas what this show was?

Thanks for your help!
