Next, I'd like to bring you some special foods for studying in the Netherlands, which I hope will help you. Introduction of Special Cuisine for Studying in the Netherlands in 2122

First, what are the local cuisines?

1. Dutch white asparagus

May is the season of white asparagus. It is full-bodied, juicy and residue-free, and its value is at least three times higher than that of green asparagus. Because it only needs to be cultivated for one or two months every year, its status is naturally extremely precious, so it has the title of vegetable prince.

It is produced in different parts of Europe, such as Germany and the Netherlands, among which the Dutch white asparagus is the most average, with a diameter of 2 cm and a sweet and juicy entrance. If you are lucky enough to see it in the buffet, remember to eat like a pig, because eating a dish is enough for you to return to your book! However, where is the buffet so generous that you can eat expensive white asparagus?

2. naturally fermented cheese

Dutch cheese is all naturally fermented cheese, even with the odd smell of garlic and green onions, but remember to chew gum after eating.

3. Dutch cowboy meat

is used by Dutch cowboys under half a year old. Pick beef tenderloin if you want to be tender, and cowboy legs if you want to be refreshing and fragrant. Remember to ask the chef to cut it deeper for you, so that you can taste the double taste of tender and smooth inside.

4. Stuffed duck breast with wild mushrooms

The wild mushrooms are Dutch mushrooms, which are more fragrant than China mushrooms, and the flavor of ingredients is the easiest to hang out.

5. Black-shelled mussels

are sweeter and more tender than New Zealand mussels.

6. The tomato is delicious.

The taste is similar to that of Sherpa, and the sweetness of tomato is enhanced by adding a little Chili oil.

let's take a look at the specialties.

1. Dutch food

Why not try authentic Dutch food? Erwten Soep, Hutspot sprinkled with smoked sausage, Pannekoek, Kaantjes with fried beans, or Poffertjes sprinkled with powdered sugar are all traditional Dutch family dishes.

Dutch snacks are also very special, such as French fries (patat) dipped in egg yolk salad dressing or peanut butter, smoked eel, and raw Herring swallowed whole with chopped onions, which are sold by vendors in tourist attractions or downtown areas.

In addition to their own local cuisine, the Dutch also have an international view on food. There are China restaurants, Indonesian restaurants, Italian restaurants, French restaurants and so on everywhere. For those who want to eat Chinese food abroad, China Restaurant in the Netherlands won't let you down. It not only tastes authentic, but also provides thoughtful service. Some restaurants in China charge for tea. Please ask clearly first. In addition, please tell the restaurants that you are used to the traditional oriental taste, otherwise their western-style Chinese food is generally weak.

Indonesian cuisine from Indonesia, an old colony, created a unique way of eating in the Netherlands, called Rijsttafel. How to eat more than 21 kinds of small dishes is not even seen in Indonesia. It is said that the thrifty Dutch used the leftovers of the previous day to create delicious food.

2. Pancakes

Pancakes are the most popular and popular meal in the Netherlands, and many tour groups also put them into the itinerary of tasting local flavor meals. Dutch pancakes are somewhat similar to Taiwan Province's scallion cakes, with a slightly smaller size, but they have many flavors, including salty bacon and cheese, sweet fruit and chocolate. Generally, the salty taste is more suitable for orientals to eat as dinner, but the amount of Dutch pancakes for one person is a little too much for oriental girls, so we can order several different flavors together to have a taste. Dutch people will first add maple syrup, honey, syrup, chocolate sauce or fine sugar powder to pancakes, and then eat them with a knife and fork or directly with their fingers. You can find pancakes restaurants in any city in the Netherlands, and some cafes also offer light meals.

3. Herring

The Dutch eat herring in a very special way, not by frying or baking, but directly with onions. These herrings are all salted for a period of time. When eating, hold the fish tail with your fingers, put the fish head towards your mouth and swallow it with a big mouth. Because herring's bones are soft, don't worry that fishbone will stab you, but it is rich in calcium and vitamin D.

Pickled herring is actually not too fishy, and it is more delicious with chopped onions. All the year round, vendors in markets or downtown areas can buy raw herring. If you are afraid to eat the whole herring raw, you can actually ask the boss to slice it, and everyone can share it and taste it.

4. Bars and cafes

There are countless bars and cafes in the Netherlands. Why don't you start with a bar or cafe to experience the nightlife in Holland? Log decoration and smoked yellow walls are the characteristics of Brown Cafe, which is also a place frequented by local people. Grand Cafe, with its luxurious and spacious furnishings, is the favorite of young people.

5. Gin

In addition, Gin in the Netherlands can be said to be the national wine of the Netherlands, which is quite famous. She is Gin, a kind of spirits fermented and distilled from barley, oats and wheat, and flavored with Jenever, with an alcohol concentration of at least 35%. The origin of the name Jenever also comes from the Latin juniperus of juniper fruit, which means to make people energetic and rejuvenate. So, at first, Gin was used as medicinal liquor to treat various diseases, and because it was medicinal liquor, it suddenly became popular in the Netherlands. Would you like to see the ancient Gin brewery? Then go to Gin's hometown-Schiedam and have a look! If you are an expert, you might as well taste the "Jongejenever" mixed with beer and Gin. But now no Dutch people use Gin as medicinal liquor, but sell it as spirits. Beer is also one of the daily drinks of the Dutch. In the Middle Ages, almost every town had a brewery. At its peak, there were nearly 711 breweries in the Netherlands. Although with the diversification of various drinks such as tea and coffee, the weight of the beer industry has been replaced, and there are only 25 breweries today, it has a retro trend in recent years, and some bars or small hotels have begun to make their own beer for guests to taste. Of course, there are still some differences between their products and the best-selling brands such as Heineken and Amstel.

6. Heineken

Heineken, a famous beer that sells all over the world, is produced in the Netherlands. However, you can't see Heineken with a green bottle in the Netherlands. Generally, Heineken with a green bottle is exported, but all you see in the Netherlands are brown bottles. There is a museum in Amsterdam (Heineken Brouwerij) to introduce the process of beer making.

don't forget to find a cafe to have a rest after SHOPPING in the streets of your shopping area. In Brown Cafes, you can relive the history of Amsterdam. There are all kinds of old-fashioned cafes everywhere in the city. Many of them can survive, thanks to the local people who love to play cards in the store. They are often called "brown cafes" because the walls and ceilings have turned yellow with the passage of time. What you see here is like a scene in a black-and-white movie.

finally, let's look at the Dutch diet.

First of all, we should know the eating habits of the Dutch. Although the Dutch have higher income and good national welfare, most of them keep the tradition of thrift, and it is not common to eat and drink and waste. The daily diet of Dutch people is basically similar to that of other western countries.

Have breakfast from 7: 11 am to 9: 11 am, with bread, butter, cheese, meat, milk and yogurt as the main contents.

11: 11-11: 11 is the morning coffee time.

lunch time is from 12: 11 to 13: 31, and the content is similar to breakfast.

15: 11-16: 11 is the time for Dutch people to enjoy afternoon tea.

dinner (17: 31-19: 11) is the most formal of the three meals, usually a hot meal, such as meat, potatoes and vegetables.

Milk, potatoes and bread are the main foods in the Netherlands, and their prices are not much higher than those in China. Dutch people like to eat large or neat meat, and some scattered or small parts are sold very cheaply. The price of vegetables changes with the seasons, and it is more expensive in winter. In summer, the price of some vegetables in some free markets is close to the level of big cities in China. From this point of view, it is necessary to adapt to the Dutch food market and arrange the purchase reasonably, especially for ordinary international students.

Dutch people eat cold meals for breakfast and lunch. Dutch breakfast is just bread with cream or cheese and some milk or coffee. Dutch people don't like singing tea very much. They usually drink milk to quench their thirst. Lunch is also very simple, mostly just bread and ham.

Dutch dinner is the main meal. Seriously spread tablecloths and napkins on the dining table, and put knives, forks, spoons, cups and saucers and seasonings. Usually two dishes and one soup. The first course is soup, which is often made of corn flour. The second course is often vegetables. These vegetables are not seasoned with oil and salt when they are cooked, but mixed with cream and gravy when they are eaten. The third course is usually meat, mostly steak.

The Dutch fry steaks with cream, and the cows are put in a pan for a little frying and then picked up. Put it on a plate and add seasonings such as salt, pepper and tomato sauce. The steak was still bloody when it was cut.
