I moved here a few years ago. My second haring experience was robbed of me by a seagull. Wait till you have seasoned warme kibbeling (deep fried Atlantic Cod nuggets), it's incredible with garlic sauce (knooflooksaus). My all-time favorite Dutch cheese is old farmer's cheese (Oude Boerenkaas) and as far as I know, cannot be exported since its's made with raw unpasteurized milk.

[–] saltnotsugar@lemmy.world 29 points 4 days ago

Let me tell ye lads, those Dutch have access to cheese that we could only dream of.

[–] lepinkainen@lemmy.world 16 points 4 days ago (3 children)

There was a video about this somewhere.

Basically the Dutch never really developed a “cuisine” and they don’t have one. They don’t even give free meals at school, they care that little about food.

They’re mostly just a “I eat for sustenance” culture who loves snacking instead of actual meals.

The Dutch people I know are fully content just eating bread for every meal.

What a moronic video. It is pretty funny that people are seriously getting their information from such sources though, explains a lot about our current situation.

Am I secretly Dutch?

If they ever invent a pill that I could take for perfect nutrition instead of food, I'd happily do it.

I think this is how my wife assumes I eat when left to my own devices.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 days ago

I totally would if it actually gave enough nutrition to live healthily off of. Having to eat is an annoyance.

[–] Olhonestjim@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Now with flavor!

[–] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Not a pill, but things like Soylent exist

https://soylent.com/

[–] lardass@lemmy.zip 4 points 3 days ago (3 children)

You can't live on it or you'll walk around dribbling out diarrhea all the time.

[–] Nalivai@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 days ago

There was a period before soylent people discovered fiber, when this was true, but now I think all the various manufacturers of this type of stuff adding it, and beyond the almost inevitable adjustment period, it actually stabilises. And we're talking days, not even weeks.

[–] usrtrv@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 days ago

Sure if you go 100% soylent without ramping. Any major diet change usually ends up with diarrhea. Typically your body adjusts. Its the same tired trope when people complain about diarrhea from cuisuine they rarely eat.

I've never done it but know multiple people who have lived off soylent(or alternatives) for long periods of time.

[–] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 days ago

Ah, I haven't actually tried it lol.

[–] peteypete420@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 days ago

I thought they all ate they same sandwich every day for lunch? Like all the kids already have that sandwhich with them when they come in to school, no need for free lunches.

Dont get me wrong this was a clickbait article and I am probably misremembering the country anyway.

You can tell by the pickle next to it. 😉

Whats wrong with that meal tho?

[–] breecher@sh.itjust.works 2 points 13 hours ago

Americans are frightened if their meal isn't covered in cheese and doesn't have the consistency of babyfood.

[–] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 21 points 4 days ago (3 children)

I mean, even if you're really into unseasoned fish topped with raw onion, presentation certainly leaves something to be desired.

My understanding is that it's pickled and salted, and both of those are seasonings.

[–] rbos@lemmy.ca 7 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Probably pickled onion. Like in the rollmops pickled herring jars.

[–] zout@fedia.io 8 points 4 days ago

Usually it's just regular raw onion. And there's actually a lot of taste in the herring due to gibbing.

[–] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Doesn't look pickled, but it definitely could be I guess. Fuck I love pickled onions...I don't eat mops though, rolled or otherwise.

[–] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

unseasoned fish

Good fish doesn't really need much else than salt. Unless you don't really want to taste the fish but the other stuff

[–] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Good anything doesn't need much else than salt, doesn't mean I don't want it. Find me a savory dish that's not improved by garlic and I'll stab you in the heart because you're obviously a vampire.

[–] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I don't want to taste the other stuff, I want to taste the fish though. The joy of a good fish is the taste, no reason to muddy that taste with other stuff

[–] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I don't eat mud, and sorry, you can't come in my home, vampire.

[–] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I don't get it, do you mean you'd eat mud if someone put spices in it?

[–] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

No, just that flavors don't get muddied when I cook, it must be a skill issue.

[–] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Flavours don't mix when you cook? Lmao

[–] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

They mix perfectly and sing in harmony. Like yeah, a good whistled tune is enjoyable, but I prefer the symphony.

[–] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 days ago

I mean that's fine, it's a taste thing after all

[–] Knuschberkeks@leminal.space 10 points 4 days ago (3 children)
[–] Lembot_0004@discuss.online 13 points 4 days ago

Side fish is enough.

[–] decipher_jeanne@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Pickle is a perfectly normal side dish. You should stop dutch shaming people.

Wooden shoe be the one to notice.

I love Dutch herring! I eat it whenever I'm there. I've had both Hollands nieuw and maatsje haring, both nice though the quality really is nice during the right season.

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 13 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Certainly looks like something in Tom & Jerry.

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 2 points 3 days ago (2 children)

The Dutch are very tall people. 6" average.

[–] Paper_Phrog@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

I don't think its tall at all - its merely average to me.

[–] AlpacaChariot@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Six inches?

[–] elizbeth.valadez708@piefed.social 3 points 4 days ago (2 children)

We're not judging crimes against food sir.

Yeah, they didn't bring enough to share.
