Let's be honest -- the Dutch aren't known for their food, especially compared to neighboring Belgium and France, as evidenced by all the Dutch restaurants in your town. Anyways, some of the local specialties include:* Herring - served raw sprinkled with raw onions (haven't tried this, but do like raw mackerel sandwiches)
* Erwtensoep - split pea soup with ham (Jimmy loves)
* Hutspot - mashed potatoes, onions, carrots and mystery meat (Jimmy likes, but the meat scares me away)
* Mosselspot - mussels steamed in a wine broth with veggies (delicious, can't wait to eat at the beach tonight)
* Uitsmijter - sunny-side up egg and cheese served over toast (yummy)
* Fillet American - raw ground beef (how this is American, I have no idea)
* Stroopwafel - thinly sliced waffles with a caramel syrup (the girls can't resist at the market)
* Pannekoeken - our favorite Dutch food is pancakes, which can be served either sweet or savory (the one above was for Veronica for dessert with apples, ice cream and whipped cream)
Eet smakelijk!
