You know I don’t daily enjoy a typical Dutch lunch, but sometimes I’m a typical Dutchie. Today I went to eat out because its still too cold at the new office, so I was craving for a hot cup of soup. Untill I smelled the kroketten and thought… Why not…

…and Mustard soup?
Ha, you don’t think I was full enough after these?
… that does not look very healthy and/or delicious hehe
Haha I find it delicious, if not consumed too often. I don’t feel Dutch, but I grew up in Dutch-land so I enjoy all those Dutch foods that couldn’t be called cuisine to some (including myself)..
But look what Wikipedia says:
Oh so interesting. Did you know that korokkes are great favorites in Japan? There is a fine historical and worldwide Dutch influence. They have all sorts available in 7-Eleven stores and casual restaurants. Wikipedia is currently crediting the dish as of Spanish origin. Dutch, French, Spanish, even Portuguese had so much influence in Japan.
Anyway, a link to my most difficult to make korkke recipe

You’re right, I don’t think anything deep fried is healthy π
I think it will be a while before a restauranteur serving traditional Dutch cuisine wins a Michelin hat. A nieuwe haring (herring) would need to be on the menu list, followed by krokette…then, um…? Hutspot maybe?
Stamppot π And Snert!
