DUTCH CUISINE!? ...what do foreigners think about DUTCH FOOD?

Dutch cuisine? Dutch food?
What do foreigners in the Netherlands think about Dutch gastronomy?
We asked people who are learning Dutch which typical Dutch dishes they know, and what they think about the Dutch cuisine (Nederlandse keuken).
What about the eating habits? How does a Dutch meal at dinner look like? Is it always potatoes + meat + a vegetable...? How about lunch... preparing sandwiches at home to take them with you to school or work?

De voedselkwaliteit hier is erg hoog, dat klopt inderdaad. Wageningen noemt men soms zelfs Food Valley, naar het Amerikaanse Silicone Valley. Nederland is de tweede exporteur in voedsel wereldwijd. Met wetenschappelijke data die stelt dat het voedsel hier qua kwaliteit tot de beste ter wereld hoort...... Maar genoeg ophemeling... Waarom is de Nederlandse keuken relatief saai? Eigenlijk is het niet vreemd dat we geen echt uitzonderlijke identiteit als het voedsel betreft. Een relatief klein land omgeven door grotere mogendheden; dus makkelijk om het over te nemen. Historisch gezien is Nederland een land dat handelde, dus met veel specerijen uit dichtbij zijnde maar ook uit verre landen terug kwam, met"exotische" ingrediënten en wat al niet. Verder terug nog. Tussen de 13de en 17de eeuw, toen land ontgonnen werd in het westen, kwam men erachter dat dit land niet geschikt voor het verbouwen van veel gewassen. De oplossing? Moedernegotie. In plaats van de landbouw te richten op het produceren van reguliere landbouw producten, boerde men liever luxeproducten. Deze konden worden geruild tegen gewassen zoals graan in het Oostzee gebied. Oftewel, ook de ingrediënten kwamen veelal uit het buitenland. Zelfs de aardappel in een Colombiaans uitwisselingsproduct; dat is algemeen bekend. Zelfs in de 20ste eeuw zette dat door. Een "Chinees-Indische" restaurant verkoopt heus geen authentiek eten uit die regio's. Het was simpelweg wat Nederlanders in dat tijdframe eetbaar en "nieuw" achtten. Nieuw eten, maar zonder de pittigheid en "vreemdheid". Zelfs paprika's en mayonaise waren in het oosten van het land nauwelijks bekend tot in de jaren zestig. In Nederland werd eten met mes en vork zelfs als hautain gezien in delen van het land tot de jaren 60. Sneller en efficiënter was het devies. Nederland als handelsland is dus van oudsher bezig met ingrediënten aanslepen uit andere regionen. Zelfs de Romeinen die hier kwamen - tweedegraads Gaius - had kritiek op onze lokale cuisine. "Ze wonen op terpen, leven in de kou en regen, de mannen eten vis, en de vrouwen lijken op mannen.". Ik ga stamppot vreten! Met spekjes of zoiets. Lekker.

[@elsavanbinsbergen-kooijman2292]

[@svw3734]

En toch als je kijkt naar onze 'zoetigheid' zijn we daar toch echt goed in. De peperkoek of ontbijtkoek, speculaas, pepernoten, stroopwafels, talloze snoepjes en ga zo maar door. Ook onze kazen zijn over de gehele wereld gelieft evenals onze bieren. Daarbij maken we heerlijk frituur zoals oliebollen, bitterballen en krokketen wat ook vrij onbekend is in de rest van de wereld. Van veel buitenlanders heb ik gehoort dat zij ewrtensoep erg lekker vinden. Ook hebben wij dingen zoals de 'dutch oven' uitgevonden die vandaag de dag nog steeds door sommige gebruikt worden en als laatste als je kijkt naar echt Nederlands eten en cultuur kun je zien dat wij aanzienlijk gezonder zijn dan de gemiddelde Europeaan of andere cultuur die 'lekker eten' heeft.

Man dem komt blijkbaar van een woord uit het Latijn, namelijk 'mandemulus'; "meaning a collection of less than reputable characters." Volgens Urban Dictionary.

Zal er binnenkorst nog wat meer over inlezen om te zien of mijn interpretatie wel klopt. (Ja, de milde sarcastische aard van dit repliek is uiteraard intentioneel maar niet vanuit een kwade inborst.Ik vond het simpelweg geestig om nog een half essay erbij te knallen.)

[@TheSuperappelflap]

Het is echt een crime om te zeggen dat we geen specifieke cultuur hebben qua eten. Er is zoveel eten dat bijna compleet uniek is voor Nederland. Verse haring. Alle soorten snacks uit de frituur. Stamppot. Allerlei soorten salades. Drop. Koekjes. Pannenkoeken. Brood. Kaas. Probeer maar eens in het buitenland een lekkere boerensalade te bestellen met aardappels en spekjes en champignons enzo. Of een boeren omelet. Misschien in Frankrijk kun je iets vergelijkbaars vinden. Dat is het wel. En dan hebben we zoveel streekgerechten zoals zuurvlees uit Limburg. De beste biefstuk die ik ooit heb gegeten, en ik ben in veel landen in Europa geweest, was op een camping in the middle of nowhere op de Veluwe. Vers geslacht lokaal rund, dezelfde dag klaargemaakt, nooit ingevroren. Probeer dat maar ergens anders. Het verschil is dat er zoveel buitenlands eten is dat het traditionele lokale niet zo opvalt. Maar het is er wel hoor.

[@yt-mca]

I come from Portugal and been living in the Netherlands for a while now. The best change to our eating habits when we go out, is to hit the restaurant around 5:30pm. This way we can merge the two meals people usually have in Portugal: late afternoon snack (called "Lanche" same pronunciation as "Lunch") and the actual dinner. We usually have wine or beer and a nice "plankje" with cheese, bitterballen, nachos, or olives (or whatever is in the dinner menu as "Starters") and if we find the rest of the dinner menu interesting we stay for dinner and have a main meal. At 8:00pm ish we are done and usually had a great time doing it. This frees up A LOT of time to do other things (specially in the summer), and connects really well with the end of the day routine. We find this approach much much better than in countries where people start eating at 8:30pm, or even later, and stuff themselves with heavy food, get late to bed, don't sleep enough, don't wake up early enough, etc, etc. Regarding lunch, if you don't like bread that much (as I don't), just make your own salads, or buy one from the supermarket. AH has some amazing salads, big variety, good price, and this is something you also can't find in south Europe. At home we still cook a lot but mostly internacional food, which is much easier in NL since there is a tremendously good variety of international ingredients in most supermarkets and grocery shops. So all and all, I'd say I've eaten much better since I moved to NL in regards to eating out, or buying from supermarket.

Dat sla ik zeker niet over (net zo min als Twentse Humkessoep). Dan hebben we nog stoofperen of poffertjes? Ovenschotels en stoofpotten in overvloed. Gek genoeg worden over de hele wereld 'dutch ovens' gebruikt, de voorloper van onze braadpan (je weet wel zo'n ding voor draadjesvlees). Of wat te denken van Asperges met ham en ei? Witlof met ham en kaas uit de oven. Zeeuwse mosselen, Limburgse vlaaien, en in Groningen, Drenthe en Friesland heeft men diverse droge metworsten. Ik gooi dan nog eens met een knuppel in de hoenderhok om te beweren dan een flink aantal buitenlandse dingen die we hier kunnen kopen tamelijk vernederlands zijn en sterk afwijken van de bijvoorbeeld originele Surinaamse of Indonesische recept. Elk land gebruikt dingen in zijn keuken die makkelijk te verkrijgen zijn, in west-europa is dat voornamelijk aardappels, groente en vlees. Dat is niet typisch Nederlands, kijk maar eens in de geschiedenisboeken en daar kun je nog wel een verhaaltje vinden over wat de gevolgen waren in Ierland toen daar een jaar de hele aardappeloogst mislukt was. Dat men in het buitenland raar tegen onze keuken kijkt vind ik niet zo'n probleem, je zou maar wakker worden en een typische Engels ontbijtje krijgen... good luck! Of wat te denken van Haggis uit Schotland? Iets met kleine vogeltjes uit België, Scrapple uit de USA? Meeuweneieren uit Noorwegen, slakken uit Frankrijk etc etc. Kortom een keuken afkraken kan heel snel, maar zo slecht is onze keuken echt niet, de kennis daarover is een ander probleem.

The flavour of the Indonesian cuisine in the Dutch cuisine can be brought back to the (so called ) Golden Era in the Netherlands back in the 17th century. We had colonies all over the world, most of them in East Asia. We took their spices and brought it back to the Netherlands to sell. The company that did this: the VOC (Verenigde Oostindische Compagnie; Dutch East India Company) is still, to this very day the biggest company to have ever existed. While Apple has an estimated value of $1.8 trillion, the VOC had an estimated value of $8.28 trillion (!!)

[@deddy9675]

until today Indonesians still call it 'the time of the Kompeni' or 'the era of the Kompeni', and for years i didn't know why us, Indonesians, use the term Kompeni to describe the Dutch people who colonized Indonesia. at first, I thought it was just a slang term for the Dutch. although, I learned the term VOC (verenigde oost indische compagnie) in school, the teachers never explained the meaning of the term to their students; and 99% Indonesian students in Indonesia do not understand Dutch. I realized the meaning of the word Kompeni after reading the term VOC in english. So, the word Kompeni, that has been used for decades to describe the Dutch who colonized Indonesia, derived from the word Compagnie (VOC), meaning Company; because VOC was actually a company.

The food in Belgium is 100% better than the food we have here

Belgium has more pasion for food! Dutch ppl dont like to cook. The Netherlands had Indonesië, Suriname, and still Curacao but still cannot cook 😂😂😂

So true about food in Belgium. They bring more passion in to preparing a meal, compared to Dutch people.
