Yeah, I call bullshit or a case of not appreciating your own culture.

Dutch were the damn spice traders of the world. This can be still seen in many dishes, even damn cookies like hagel.

You have had proper meats, so all meat products were in your cuisine - rook and metworsts. Pancakes with bacon and shit. Tiger bread with spreads.

You eat the damn abomination of a spice liquorice like its good, and you're per capita biggest liquorice consumers.

Regarding sweet desserts, you have had a shitton of different pies and buttercakes, as well as this weird cake sandwitch called tampons or smthing like that.

Stamppot is food for the poorest workers. Like literally Dutch version of, idk, mcdonalds or smiliar. Of course its going to be filling but not fancy. If you eat it daily then damn, I'm sorry for you, grab some pears and red wine and make stoofperen.

    I'm just going to point out that the English were also spice traders and made good use of the spices themselves until they had to sell all their spices to prop up their collapsing empire.
