When in Holland, eat like the Dutch!
by csordila
In Dutch homes the simple, substantial meals are the favorite such as potatoes (hutspot or stamppot), fresh vegetables, meat, sausages, chicken and fish accompanied by a certain kind of tasty gravy. Dutch people traditionally eat only one hot meal per day.
Funny Dutch habit is the eating of "Hagelslag", little chocolate sprinkles on thickly buttered bread.
Dutch food might be plain, and seem a bit old-fashioned, but it gets results. You only have to look at the Dutch - they're all almost 2 metres tall and tend to be thin and rangy.
However, restaurants are representing Holland’s multicultural backgrounds ranging from French to Indonesian and from Thai to Pakistani.
