Traditional dutch food
Although the dutch kitchen has changed very much over the past years*, there are still several real dutch dishes that stay popular.

* (Holland is a multicultural society and all the different nationalities have taken their food and dishes with them. Also vacations abroad made people appreciate foreign dishes. In the supermarkets you can get all sorts of food next to the more traditional ingrediënts)


Some examples of "Real Dutch Dishes" are:

  • Pea soup
  • Carrot, onion and potatoe hotchpotch (receipe)
  • Curly cail with smoked sausage
  • Zuurkool / Sauerkraut
  • Poffertjes


There are also some "Real Duth Products" That the dutch take with them wherever they go because they can't do without it.
These things go in the suitcase when on holiday and people that emigrate let their relatives send them over or take with them when visiting. In some places where there are many dutch imigrants there are dutch stores, that import these products.

  • Dutch cheese
  • Dutch peanutbutter (tastes different then for instance american)
  • Chocolate sprinkles (for on the bread) -->
  • Speculaas and Taaitaai (cookielike products)
  • Stroop wafels (syrup waffles)
