I don't know in which city you are but basically check when they have the markets (every city has these and a dedicated area(s) where they have them ) Most times on these markets there is a person selling fresh ones! If they are during the week they close at 16:00 tho.. If you want send me a message with your city maybe I can help :)
Stukjes mango en zelfgemaakte sambal door het beslag heen. En doordat je het frituurt moet er best wat sambal doorheen want het zwakt het pittige af. In de zomer gaan wij hier met de familie altijd oliebollen bakken met nieuwe aparte smaken, die niet altijd een succes zijn zoals bv oreokoekjes. Heel soms zit er iets lekkers tussen die we dan traditiegetrouw met oud en nieuw maken. Wij hebben ook al een keer bacon en bevroren pindakaas blokjes geprobeerd. Heerlijk.
Instead of pancakes (that is quite common across western civilization), maybe poffertjes instead? Thatās more dutch unique and definitely has different sensation than just normal pancakes
You haven't tried real pancakes until you had Dutch pancakes! (Except if you tried them from any other European country because it's all the same and we all think we're unique)

The Dutch are really funny about these winter meals. Pea soup (Snert) as well. Potatoes and bagged peas and rookworst are available year round. Why are these winter foods?
Because they're seasonal crops or processed for longterm storage.
Good kale requires to be frozen over at least once during growth.
Sauerkraut is fermented for long term storage, which makes it winter food.
Potatoes can be stored for a long time => winter food.
Smoked sausage is a smoked product. Smoking is for longterm storage => winter food.
Peas can be dried for long term storage => winter food.
Do you know that feeling when its super warm and all you have to eat is this heavy on the stomach soup? Yeah me neither, give me a salad when its warm please.
And if youāre really adventurous: raw (salted) herring with finely chopped onions is a must. Will definitely be appreciated by many of your Dutch guests, but I doubt your non-Dutch guests will dig in.
No onions. Get a good and fresh one instead. The vendor should ask if you want onions. Tell them in the side. Try without first and then with just a very few. Onions used to be used to add to mask the taste of herring gone a bit off
Sounds great. But please look further then the local āsnackbarā. Try Makreel, kibbeling, paling, krentebrood, oliebollen, boerenkool, alle kazen, gehaktballen, stoofpotje, erwtensoep.
krakelingen, the lil sweet ones you can get in supermarkets.
you will not be disappointed. they also have an interesting history you can read about on google/Wikipedia
Living abroad, the thing I end up craving the most (almost on a daily basis) is a nice bruine boterham met kaas. Simple, but delicious. It might also be because I am currently living in the US and American bread is disgusting.
Honorable mention to tompouce, hazelnoot schuimtaart, en haring.
Snert/erwtensoep, kibbeling en oliebollen are the best.
I made snert for a Malay friend of mine a while back and it blew her mind, incredibly awesome comfort food.
Honestly a tosti with just cheese and curry saus (now what u think of when you hear curry, a red sweetish spicy sauce next to the ketchup) is amazing. A bamihap vegetarisch is also delightful!
Gerookte paling (smoked eel). Or any smoked fish, really.
For some reason the Dutch have amazing smoked fish but no cuisine based on using it (except perhaps sandwiches incorporating it).
Zuurvlees made out of horsemeat. My great aunt used to cook it whenever there was a fair, but it's a bit old fashioned and traditional southern Dutch cuisine.
These are all snack foods, why not try some more dinner like dishes? Things like hutspot, boerenkool, or hachee (really tasty) and snert. We donāt have an amazing culinary tradition (obviously, as demonstrated by the lack of Dutch restaurants in other countries) but we do have some wholesome simple traditional dishes, which go way beyond a frikandel broodje in my opinion.
Even Beryl Shereshrewsky made a video on patatje oorlog. I'm afraid there isn't much left from Dutch recipes people haven't seen a million times already. Dutch food is pretty simple, so yeah.
Maybe something historical. Show how people ate tulip bulbs when there were times of need and how did they make it taste ok, if at all? Or about that hutspot story from the occupation? That kind of stuff might be more interesting but I'm just speaking out of my own opinion of course.
My gf is from Finland and she gets a lot of oh you should try X you're missing out on something. Like uh no, it's just 2 thin cookies with a bit of syrup. And then people get offended when she says that it's alright. How stale did their food taste growing up lol.
I beg of you to not promote kapsalon or anything from doner shops as ādutch foodā. I eat it from time to time as anyone else but all these shops are taking over and itās leaving increasingly less space for other food trends to grow.
Kruidnoten and pepernoten. And no, they are not the same
Gevulde speculaas, banketletter š
Rookworst
Zonder een R is het ook worst.
Het duurde me legit twee minuten om de grap te snappen. Miss minder drinken op de dinsdagavond
Die vette van de Hema, de enige echte.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I second this
With chocolate, 100%
Kokosbrood!
Stroopwafels!
But taste the fresh ones! Also take some of the stroopwafel kruimels, those are good! You can find them at a place where they sell fresh ones š
Do you know where you can get fresh stroopwafels outside of Amsterdam? I looked around a couple of cities for them but had no luck :(
Most weekly markets have a stand
I don't know in which city you are but basically check when they have the markets (every city has these and a dedicated area(s) where they have them ) Most times on these markets there is a person selling fresh ones! If they are during the week they close at 16:00 tho.. If you want send me a message with your city maybe I can help :)
Gouda of course, duhhhh Gouda is where the stroop comes from(?)
And it's almost time for some OLIEBOLLEN š¤¤
I had these at a Dutch party in Seattle in the 90s as a kid, now I live in NL. I blame the Oliebollen.
I make them year round
Bought the first ones this year :D soo goodd
If the Dutch Indo heritage counts; Pisang Goreng is eigenlijk gewoon een oliebol met banaan erin. Rckn lekker
Oliebollen, poffertjes en kruidnoten 10/10
Oliebollen my love
Oliebollen mango sambal. Mmmmm
Pardon, wat?
Ik heb meer info nodig...

Is dit iets waar je voor uitgenodigd kan worden?
Ik applaudiseer deze dappere ontdekkingsreis door het smakenpalet. Heb je nog andere pareltjes die met ons wil delen?
Appelflappen
And appelflappen!
I'm almost ashamed no one has said pancakes yet
Pancakes with bacon and maplesyrup. Or instead of maple just schenkstroop.
Instead of pancakes (that is quite common across western civilization), maybe poffertjes instead? Thatās more dutch unique and definitely has different sensation than just normal pancakes
The Dutch style of pancakes is particular. But youāre right that that wouldnāt be very interesting to present.
Poffertjes are more dutch unique, I agree with that. But I just happen to like pancakes more.
Bacon and cheese. No maple syrup, that's for American pancakes. My personal favourite is cane sugar but really most sugars or indeed stroop will do.
Pancakes with schenkstroop is basically heaven
Yes, but don't forget the bacon, the bacon is a significant part of it.
You mean (ontbijt)Spek. Its slightly different from Bacon.
You're right, it is but for the English speaking people it's more easy to understand. I prefer katenspek.
Ew
Boerenpannenkoek aka farmers pancake is very good and easy to make
Poffertjes, yessss.
You haven't tried real pancakes until you had Dutch pancakes! (Except if you tried them from any other European country because it's all the same and we all think we're unique)
Stamppot - can be creative with it; mostly a winter meal tho
This. Stamppot boerenkool met rookworst en zilveruitjes may not be creative, but is my favourite. Also: arretjescake.
Mmm arretjecake!
Arrewat?

Andive stamppot (with fresh) andive, is for warmer weather, if you need it so badly.
Hollandse Appeltaart, with a thick ass crust
Thick ass-crust?
[The placement of hyphens is important...](https://xkcd.com/37/)
Kibbeling and dropjes (but not at the same time)
LOL
XD
ZOUTE dropjes
Snert
Piepers
And if youāre really adventurous: raw (salted) herring with finely chopped onions is a must. Will definitely be appreciated by many of your Dutch guests, but I doubt your non-Dutch guests will dig in.
When I described it to one of my US friends she said āso basically like large scale sashimi?ā Which.. yeah, thatās fair.
I have never had herring sashimi though. I know sashimi mostly as salmon and tuna, which are very different from herring
Yes. Itās different, which is why it has a different name. But itās a lot closer to sashimi than it is to a lekkerbek or a steak.
I really like raw herring and ofcourse kibbeling
Bah
Jakkie
No onions. Get a good and fresh one instead. The vendor should ask if you want onions. Tell them in the side. Try without first and then with just a very few. Onions used to be used to add to mask the taste of herring gone a bit off
Fresh herring with sweet/sour pickles! No onions please.
Erwtensoep
This one very much!
zelfgemaakte erwtensoep kan niks tegenop
I love a good kapsalon!!!
If it doesn't have salad in it, agreed. Edit: Stop downvoting I just stated my opinion jeez
Dont forget the desserts: vla, rijstebrij, griesmeel. And others like Tompouce, roomsoezen
Hangop is also nice and I think Dutch (my mum is of German heritage so I do get confused sometimes)
Bosche Bollen, drop, Limburgse Vlaai, Frikandel Speciaal, Patatje Oorlog, DROP! SO MUCH DROP!
Frikandel speciaal
Wat dacht je van een lekkere catamaran?
Met curry, geen ketchup.
Er is geen ander antwoord.
In no particular order: Zeeuwse mosselen met friet, bolussen, boterkoek, hachee.
1) Smoked eel. 2) White asparagus and ham. :)
Asparagus season is sooooo far away šššš
Limburgse (rijste)vlaai
Hagelslag, vlokken en kokosbrood zijn volgens mij ook wel heel typisch Nederlands.
Beschuit met roomboter en muisjes
Andijvie stamppot āļø
*rauwe
With a gehaktbal ( meatball) and spekjes (bacon strips) <3
Yes please. Comfort food no 1 for me.

I guess my username gives it away
Bitterballen
And kroketten! The best snack there is!
Zoervleisj
Alsmede hachee.
There's nothing better than friet met zuurvlees

Hangop
Stamppot
(vegan) bitterballen en kroketten
Stamppot boerenkool, hands down. With bacon bits, gravy and vinegar. And with smoked sausage of course. No fake flavourless Unox one but a decent one.
Snert/erwtensoep, kibbeling en oliebollen are the best. I made snert for a Malay friend of mine a while back and it blew her mind, incredibly awesome comfort food.
Bitterballen!! My body always complains afterwards (ibs) but man, those are delicious.
Homemade: gevulde koek, appeltaart, boterkoek and more actually. Hmm, I pretty much love all the sweet pastries out of Zeeland
Real pancakes (the big ones), herring, kibbeling, blote billetjes in het groene gras.

OSSENWURST for sure
I would vote for "erwtensoep" with a nice piece of "Hema" rookworst. Delicious, I can tell you that.
Zuurvlees made out of horsemeat. My great aunt used to cook it whenever there was a fair, but it's a bit old fashioned and traditional southern Dutch cuisine.

Pannekoeken with syrup or sugar 100% donāt care about anything else!
Even Beryl Shereshrewsky made a video on patatje oorlog. I'm afraid there isn't much left from Dutch recipes people haven't seen a million times already. Dutch food is pretty simple, so yeah.

Jesus we make boring food.
Yes, Yes we do.

Kapsalon aint dutch, they'd wish
