In this blog you will learn about the food of Netherlands.
What is the Netherlands? The Netherlands is a country located in Europe. It is also called Holland. The Netherlands means low lands. In the Netherlands they speak Dutch and a lot of other languages, but their main one is Dutch. The Netherlands is the most friendliest bike country in the world. Vincent Van Gogh was the most famous painter from the Netherlands.
Did you know this? Eggnog in the Netherlands is eaten with a spoon. Imagine you are eating really thick soup in a glass.
I tried some of foods from the Netherlands. Here are the foods I tried.
Poffertjes
It is the best! You will love it. It is one of the traditions with powdered sugar. A pancake that is fat and small.
Bitterballen
It is pretty good. It is an egg shaped ball with meat and sauce inside. It tastes like gravy.
Stroopwafel
It is really good. Try it fresh. It is very messy. It is two waffles with melted syrup in the middle. The waffles are very thin.
Koffie Verkeerd
It is really nasty unless you like coffee! It is coffee with milk.
Hollandse Nieuwe Haring
It is really nasty, unless you like fish and onions. It is raw fish and onions.
Hagelslag
It is really good. It is mostly eaten on bread. It is chocolate sprinkles. It is one of the traditions. It is mostly eaten at breakfast. Try it with a banana. It is really good!
Patat Frites
It is really yummy. Yum yum yum! It is french fries and mayonnaise. But you can request ketchup and other sauces. The tradition is with mayonnaise. We tried it with ketchup and mayonnaise.
Cheese
There are lots of cheeses in the Netherlands but here is my favorite. It is called old Gouda. It is really good. It is cheese that took a few years to make. The older the better! You should try it.
Try all these foods. You will not be disappointed. I really liked the foods of Netherlands. Now you know all about the foods of the Netherlands

That was exactly my face when I tried herring!
Jason says
LOL, I was expecting it to be pickled herring, but it is completely raw. It didn’t taste too bad, though. Sydney, on the other hand, wanted no part of eating raw fish!
Patti says
Fun post Sydney! I would make the exact same face as you did if someone tried to get me to eat pickled herring – no way!
Sydney says
