What is your favourite street food? Part 10

Street food in the Netherlands

Amsterdam has a lot to offer when it comes to delicious, unique street food. Next time you visit, try these Dutch favourites – everything from stroopwafels to raw pickled herring. We had a blast filming in the Netherlands!

Loempia

The Dutch version of the Indonesian spring roll, a legacy of the Netherlands’ ties with Indonesia. It’s deep-fried and filled with vegetables and bean sprouts, sometimes chicken.

Kibbeling

Bite-sized chunks of battered, fried white fish, traditionally cod. It’s served hot with a garlicky dipping sauce at market fish stalls.

Friet

Thick-cut fries in a paper cone. Order them with mayonnaise, or try patatje oorlog: mayo, peanut sauce and raw onion together.

Kaassouflé

Melted cheese inside pastry, breaded and deep-fried. It’s a snack-bar favourite.

Worstenbroodje

Spiced minced-meat sausage baked inside a soft bread roll. It’s a speciality of North Brabant.

Poffertjes

Tiny, fluffy pancakes cooked in a dimpled pan. They’re served with butter and powdered sugar.

Oliebol

Deep-fried dough balls, often with raisins and dusted with icing sugar. They’re traditionally eaten on New Year’s Eve.

Hot Stroopwafel

Two thin waffles with caramel syrup between them. They’re best warm and fresh from a market stall.
