Typical Dutch Food

Here is my list:

Haring (herring, in English) - A typical Dutch delicacy, usually from the catches around the end of spring and the beginning of summer. It is typically eaten with raw onion.

Frikandel - a sort of minced-meat hot dog.

Patatje oorlog - potato fries with a combination of peanut saté sauce, mayo and onions (if there is heaven, this is what they’d be serving there every day!!)

Stamppot - Meaning “mash pot”. Stamppot consists of (lumpy) mashed potato with vegetables of your choice thrown in. Popular vegetable choices include sauerkraut, spinach, swede, carrot, onion and kale (with kale it is known as boerenkool). Stamppot is often served with rookworst (smoked sausage) and/or bacon lardons.

Erwtensoep - is a thick pea soup­ (so thick that some say you should be able to leave a spoon standing up in it) and it's really a meal in itself. It is made from dried split green peas and other vegetables, such as celery or celeriac, onions, leeks, carrots and potatoes, plus different cuts of pork (optional).

Kibbeling - are pieces of white fish (cod) dipped in batter, then deepfried. They are often eaten at markets and topped with herbs, onions and a bit of lemon juice.

Bitterballen - meat-based snack, typically containing a mixture of beef or veal (minced or chopped), beef broth, butter, flour for thickening, parsley, salt and pepper, resulting in a thick roux. Mostly consumed in bars/pubs with beer.

Kroketten - Similar to bitterballen but cylindrical in shape. They come in a variety of fillings: beef, pork, satay sauce (peanut sauce), vegetable, potato, shrimp/prawn.

Stroopwafels - a waffle made from two thin layers of baked dough with a caramel-like syrup filling in the middle.

Poffertjes - a traditional Dutch batter treat, resembling small, fluffy pancakes, made with yeast and buckwheat flour. Unlike American pancakes, they have a light, spongy texture. Typically, poffertjes are served with powdered sugar and butter, and sometimes syrup or advocaat.

Oliebollen - Oliebollen are a variety of dumpling made by taking round-shaped dough and dropping the it into a deep fryer filled with hot oil. In this way, a sphere-shaped oliebol emerges. Oliebollen are traditionally eaten on New Year's Eve and at funfairs. In wintertime, they are also sold in the street at mobile stalls.

Drop - a type of flavored liquorice

Hagelslag - known outside the Netherlands as chocolate sprinkles, hagelslag (translation: "hailstorm") come in a variety of flavors, shapes, and sizes, and are most commonly eaten on top of buttered bread.

Speculaas - are thin, very crunchy, caramelized, slightly browned and, most significantly, have some image or figure (often from the traditional stories about St. Nicholas) stamped on the front side before baking; the back is flat. Traditionally baked for consumption on or just before St Nicholas' day in the Netherlands (December 5)
