Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.

7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.

No one would ever make fun of British food again if the Anglosphere was more aware of Dutch food.
I visited a Swedish family a long time ago and they introduced me to one of their favourite snacks, layered bread with mayo in-between each slice, like a cake. They seemed very proud of it.
You reeeeally downplay Smörgåstårta (pinnacle of any scandinavian festivity food imo) with this description. You have white bread with layered savory fillings - this is correct. But the contents should be like 40% shrimp, in what you call a Skagenröra or similar. And sallad leafs, cucumber slices, cold smoked salmon (very important), lemon slices and tomato. Lots of dill as well.
I promise it's the best.
My hot take is that beans are great, and the brits are right to put them on everything
I’ve never understood the hate. Beans on toast is the culinary equivalent of a grilled cheese and more nutritionally complete.
Pickled herring + onions on a bun is up there for top ten best street foods though.
Speculaas from my cold dead hands
The only good parts about the Dutch kitchen are the fried and deep fried snacks. The herring may be the only exception. Everything else.. fully agree.
But bitterballen is honestly nothing to be proud of. I was at a dutch christmas bouffé once, and it was so bleak. Pea soup with prk, bitterballen, root vegetable mash. Barbaric.
What's a bouffé? Du you mean buffet?
Yes :) english is not my native language
