Baku Kitchen! An independent reference of traditional food

Netherlands

Food in the Netherlands is built around simple, thrifty comfort food: stamppot, herring, cheeses, and deep-fried snacks from bruin cafés and street stalls. Look for Stamppot (potatoes mashed with kale or sauerkraut, smoked sausage on top), Stroopwafel (thin waffle discs sandwiching warm caramel syrup) and Bitterballen (crunchy fried balls of beef ragout, dipped in mustard). Mashed potato beaten with vegetables; the hutspot version is tied to the relief of Leiden in 1574, when the fleeing Spanish left a stew behind.
