The Focus of this Lesson is An Introduction to Dutch Cuisine

What is Dutch food like?

Traditionally, the Dutch eat a lot of bread, potatoes, vegetables, meat and diary products.
Fish is eaten too, but less than meat.
Nowadays because of the multicultural society, the variation of foods you can get in Holland is very
big.

Food for special occasions

For example on the New Year we eat Oliebollen (deep fried dough balls), and to celebrate a newborn
baby we eat beschuit met muisjes, rusks sprinkled with "little mice," which are anise seeds covered in
white, pink, or blue sugar.

Dutch delicacies
2 Dutch stroopwafels ("syrup waffles") are a delicacy not too miss out on. Best to eat them with a hot
cup of coffee or tea. A broodje kroket ("bun with a croquette") and mustard, maybe not the healthiest
thing to eat but oh-so-tasty. It's even possible to buy these out of a vending machine.

Seasonal dishes
The probably most famous dish, stamppot is mainly eaten in winter time. Mashed potatoes are mixed
with either endive, carrots, sauerkraut or curly kale. The stamppot is served with a smoked sausage.

Table etiquette
Before we start eating we say eetsmakelijk. With this we wish eachother a good meal and after saying
it we start eating. We can't put our elbows on the table or reach in front of someone, we will have to
ask the person next to you to pass it to you. When finished eating we place our fork and knife parallel
on our dish.
