I think Holland's food has been very adversely affected by a culture of convenience brought on by the supermarkets, combined with the thrifty nature of the people. Thrift has produced some of the world's most delicious food when combined with time and a desire to get all the taste out of humble ingredients, but not when combined with convenience and plenty. I try to tell cloggies that some of their traditional dishes are actually fantastic if prepared with real care, but they seem a little too modest about their food culture to believe that a well made stamppot can be a real culinary delight.
Pork belly with pea soup, eel on toast, stewed brisket or a handmade smoked sausage (no not the plastic packaged 'rookworst'; all these can be delightful Dutch dishes. Now try selling them to cloggies.Last edited by Mich the Tester; 24 April 2014, 13:43.And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014Comment
