Local cuisine!

@Dutch35
Next time go to Netherlands, remind me to bring a big stick to hit the Dutch guy in my company.

We were there in a training, tried most restaurants in town. Italian, Morocco, chinese, mongolian... McDonalds 🤣 So of course we asked the guy if there was any restaurant we could have traditional Dutch cuisine.

After some thought he said he did not think so as there was mostly no "Dutch" cuisine but mostly collected recipes from the world.

And now, you came with all thise tantalizing dishes!! 😱🤤

Haha

Well he is right in some kind of way, a lot of our restaurants are more focussed on dishes around the world.

We aren't really known for a lot for our cooking.

Also some of our older dishes are getting lost trough time...

We even have a thing called "vergeten groente" forgotten vegetables..

For instance Parsnip..

I know it's more commonly used in other kitchens, but you hardly hear about it here because the later generations stopped using it and even forgot about it :)
 
And now for something more sweet!

This is called a "Spoorpunt"

It's kind of a regional thing linked to the province of Utrecht. And they are pretty hard to find these days 😔

Basically it's a cake made out of the leftovers (trimmings, broken products) in the bakery.

So they mixed those leftovers, formed it into a cake and added pink frosting to it!

They are really tasty and filling!
 
This one is not for everyone.

Erwtensoep or peasoup is made from split peas. It’s so thick it looks more like porridge than a soup.

Traditionally this Dutch soup is m mostly served in the wintertime.
other vegetables except for the split peas are celeriac, leeks, carrots and onions in there as well as cheap cuts of pork such as the leg, pork chops and rookworst (a dutch type of smoked sausage).
Erwtensoep is also called snert and is usually served with rye bread and bacon.

Pea soup is no stranger in my family. Potatoes carrots and ham hocks from past dinners.
 
Salad "Olivie". Popular in Russia.
Chopped cubes of boiled potatoes, carrots, brined dill pickles, green peas, eggs, celery, onions, and diced boiled ham. Everything get mixed together with salt and mayonnaise. This is heaven.

It may be that because its Dutch, and my family was living in New Amsterdam in 1640, it filtered in, but Pea soup is a normal menu item with us.
 

This menu is from a place I go in Gardnerville Nevada​

​

Dinner:​

These are lamb chops....but the menu any given day in a basque joint will have Salmon, Chicken, Chorizo, Oxtail, Strip or Top Sirloin and some other things

Includes: Soup, Salad, Stew, Beans, French Fries, Bottle of Red Wine, Coffee & Ice Cream

Oh I was just talking about the pea soup, awful stuff. (And even sadder, probably the only thing in this thread I'd actually feel comfortable eating if it wasn't so gross)
 
Ohhhhhh....See I thought you were referring to the loss of New Amsterdam to the Brits later on....I ❤️NY....even if I dont live there.
 
Burgoo stew. Having some southern background in the old helix we ate this quite a bit. It’s your typical stew however when the bois got home from a hunting trip the royal three went in the pot . Venison and wild turkey and squirrel.
It must be made in a cast iron Dutch oven over a fire. Or it ain’t burgoo.

Yeah you are right, it's just the fillet of a herring.

We eat it with dices onions and some with pickles.

You can get it cut to smaller pieces or just in one piece, so you can bite it while holding it by the tail.

Lekker man, dying to visit the country
 
Pulpo a Feira

That is a love or hate dish. Delicious but not everyone in the world considers octopus a delicacy (until they try 😎)

Just boiled octupus, slice, add salt, best olive oil you can find and that red slightly hot pepper powder. Serve on sliced boiled potatoes and you are good.
Only trick is the right type of octopus and knowing the trick so it is really tender and not a piece of rubber only good to play bouncing it into the ground 🤣

Thank you! I’m always on the lookout for GOOD rubs for brisket, pork shoulder and bb ribs. I’m waiting on two from Kent Rollins. I know meat church from YouTube, so I’ll definitely look at those you mentioned. It would be nice to find a good one for burgers (besides Montreal Steak seasoning.) 🤣
