with a boat or with a bike... Asterdam, Netherlands
The kitchen does not have many Dutch dishes, it is famous for soups (there are even some chains' take away ') and a large quantity of potatoes for the fresh fish and especially herring (' haring ', marinated or smoked fish sold in stalls and to be tasted on the spot). However, it has some special features to be tested, such as omelettes (called 'pannekoeken') with sweet and salty toppings as desired, the croquettes, particularly croquettes stuffed with meat or cheese and vegetables. Famous cheese: There are about 70 different qualities, including flavored, ranging from jong (young) to otherness (aged) Gouda Edamer are certainly the most famous. Among the souvenirs can not miss the typical accessory slice.
Among the desserts to be mentioned the tasty apple cake ( 'appeltart') often served with fresh whipped cream, the 'siropwaffels' (a sort of stuffed waffles with syrup of sugar, but also sold packaged fresh), the' hagels' (flakes chocolate spread on bread with butter), the poffertijes (especially small pannekoeken to eat hot with butter and icing sugar), and among the licorice candies ( 'drop').
Amsterdam is a blend of cultures and then the main attraction is certainly the kitchen "not Dutch": Chinese, Japanese, Indian, Thai, Portuguese, Greek, Turkish, Tibetan and chi più ne ha più ne metta .... An opportunity to broaden their culinary horizons.
