Let me tell ye lads, those Dutch have access to cheese that we could only dream of.
Whats wrong with that meal tho?
I mean, even if you're really into unseasoned fish topped with raw onion, presentation certainly leaves something to be desired.
Probably pickled onion. Like in the rollmops pickled herring jars.
Usually it's just regular raw onion. And there's actually a lot of taste in the herring due to gibbing.
Doesn't look pickled, but it definitely could be I guess. Fuck I love pickled onions...I don't eat mops though, rolled or otherwise.
unseasoned fish
Good fish doesn't really need much else than salt. Unless you don't really want to taste the fish but the other stuff
Good anything doesn't need much else than salt, doesn't mean I don't want it. Find me a savory dish that's not improved by garlic and I'll stab you in the heart because you're obviously a vampire.
I don't want to taste the other stuff, I want to taste the fish though. The joy of a good fish is the taste, no reason to muddy that taste with other stuff
I don't eat mud, and sorry, you can't come in my home, vampire.
I don't get it, do you mean you'd eat mud if someone put spices in it?
My understanding is that it's pickled and salted, and both of those are seasonings.
no side dish, for a start
Side fish is enough.
Pickle is a perfectly normal side dish. You should stop dutch shaming people.
Wooden shoe be the one to notice.
If it was a full pickle, you'd have a point. One little burger chip? That's not even an entire amuse-bouche.
Americans are frightened if their meal isn't covered in cheese and doesn't have the consistency of babyfood.
Nothing, it’s delicious.
Damn it. This post made me hungry for some herring.
I've never had it, but I'd probably love it. If I list my favorite meals, most of them would include fish.
You should try it if you ever get the chance. The flavor is really subtle and it just melts in your mouth.
Awesome. :)
I love ceviche and my SO makes pickled salmon salads that are amazing, so I'd probably love it.
There was a video about this somewhere.
Basically the Dutch never really developed a “cuisine” and they don’t have one. They don’t even give free meals at school, they care that little about food.
They’re mostly just a “I eat for sustenance” culture who loves snacking instead of actual meals.
The Dutch people I know are fully content just eating bread for every meal.
Am I secretly Dutch?
If they ever invent a pill that I could take for perfect nutrition instead of food, I'd happily do it.
I think this is how my wife assumes I eat when left to my own devices.
I totally would if it actually gave enough nutrition to live healthily off of. Having to eat is an annoyance.
Now with flavor!
Not a pill, but things like Soylent exist
You can't live on it or you'll walk around dribbling out diarrhea all the time.
Sure if you go 100% soylent without ramping. Any major diet change usually ends up with diarrhea. Typically your body adjusts. Its the same tired trope when people complain about diarrhea from cuisuine they rarely eat.
I've never done it but know multiple people who have lived off soylent(or alternatives) for long periods of time.
Ah, I haven't actually tried it lol.
I have and believe it or not, you end up with pretty perfect poops. It solidifies in your gut.
I'd imagine if it promises to deliver 100% of what your body needs it incudes a decent amount of fiber
There was a period before soylent people discovered fiber, when this was true, but now I think all the various manufacturers of this type of stuff adding it, and beyond the almost inevitable adjustment period, it actually stabilises. And we're talking days, not even weeks.
I thought they all ate they same sandwich every day for lunch? Like all the kids already have that sandwhich with them when they come in to school, no need for free lunches.
Dont get me wrong this was a clickbait article and I am probably misremembering the country anyway.
What a moronic video. It is pretty funny that people are seriously getting their information from such sources though, explains a lot about our current situation.
Certainly looks like something in Tom & Jerry.
Is that fish raw??
I moved here a few years ago. My second haring experience was robbed of me by a seagull. Wait till you have seasoned warme kibbeling (deep fried Atlantic Cod nuggets), it's incredible with garlic sauce (knooflooksaus). My all-time favorite Dutch cheese is old farmer's cheese (Oude Boerenkaas) and as far as I know, cannot be exported since its's made with raw unpasteurized milk.
I love Dutch herring! I eat it whenever I'm there. I've had both Hollands nieuw and maatsje haring, both nice though the quality really is nice during the right season.
The Dutch are very tall people. 6" average.
I don't think its tall at all - its merely average to me.
Six inches?
