Dutch Food [General]
2010 Jul 9
Dutch eat a lot of Indonesian food :-) Nasi goreng, Bami goreng
You could also do
- split pea soup
- meatball and vegetable soup with tomato broth
- rabbit stew
My Dutch family does not eat much out of the ordinary. Lots of asparagus, kale and potatoes, and general meat and vegetable dishes.
They are probably more well known for their desserts, candy and cheese.
Stroopwafel, almond cookies, salted and other licorice, gouda, etc.

Hutspot would be a highly appropriate Dutch dish. You boil carrots/potatoes/onions together, mash them and serve with smoked sausage. Not only does it come out looking orange, but they eat it in Leiden every 3 October to celebrate their liberation from their Spanish oppressors.
My mum used to make it a lot when we were kids. It is a bit stodgy and could probably be improved by roasted the above veg instead of boiling. Mind you, doing things like adding flavour would take away its inherent Dutch-ness.

Bitterballen! I was going to say that it's quintessential Dutch bar food, but I think almost everything is quintessential Dutch bar food ;)
They're like breaded, deep-fried meatballs, only they're thickened a bit with roux first. I've never made them myself, but there are recipes aplenty:
A Dutch-language one, if you're feeling adventurous: www.smulweb.nl
An English one: recipes.wikia.com(Bite-size_veal_croquettes_)
