\nFrikadel Speciaal:<\/strong>
\nThe frikadel is a kind of snack sausage. The ingredients are all sorts of left over meat, from intestines to brain. Eaten together with mayonnaise, ketchup and onions, you can get this in every snackbar. Even though it might not sound that tasty, it is really popular among the Dutch!<\/span><\/p>\n
\nThis is raw herring that is fermented in chopped onions. Fresh from the sea, you can usually buy it in stalls outside in different places in the city, or in fish stores. The tradition of how to eat it is holding the fish by its tail between your middle finger and thumb, lean back and let it slide in your mouth.

\nDrop:<\/strong>
\nThis candy is often bought by the kilo. It’s a sweet that is available in different tastes. It can be really salty, so if you are not used to this type of candy it is a good idea to start with the sweet ones!<\/p>\n
\nThese are tiny pancakes, with a diameter nearby one inch. It\u2019s served with a lot of butter and powdered sugar. It is a good snack when it’s cold outside, sometimes sold in stalls on the street or in pancake restaurants.

\nSpeculaas:<\/strong>
\nThese cookies are sold in different shapes, but the most\u00a0 traditionally Dutch one is speculaas in the shape of a windmill, sold in every supermarket. They have an unusual taste, that comes from a combination of the multiple spices used. Dutch people have made a habit out of dipping the cookie in their coffee.<\/span><\/p>\n
