About Dutch Food

file:9311_almond-bar.jpg

Dutch cuisine is traditionally quite simple, dominated by the Netherland’s strong agricultural industries. Historically, Dutch cuisine was heavily influenced by the French, but, over time, immigrants from Indonesia, Turkey, North Africa, China, Arabia and India have also left their mark.
    
Typically, Dutch dishes are quite hearty, appropriate given the cooler temperatures. A traditional specialty is called snert or erwtensoep, a thick green soup made with split peas, carrot, onions and celery, and filled with smoked sausage and cubes of bacon. Folklore suggests that the soup is only ready to eat when it’s thick enough to hold a wooden spoon upright. More
