    They eat raw salted fish over there regularly (not like the French eating frog legs, which is rare and mostly just a meme today) and it does NOT look appetising… but who can deny stroopwafels and oliebollens? 😅

      The fish is not raw, it’s gibbed and cured. It’s also eaten a lot in Germany and Scandinavia.

      Also, we have vla in the Netherlands, and mustard soup! And we frown at people calling kale a super food, because it is considered one of the most generic winter foods over here.

        I frown at people eating kale mixed in mashed potatoes or calling white bread with peanut butter a lunch.

        Joke aside, the Dutch like good food and are way more open to other cuisines than most European countries.

          Colcannon is food of the gods and while you need to cook kale a little longer than standard cabbage or other greens for it, it’s a perfectly valid variant.
