Irish and Dutch foods?

Question

I'm doing this project about my familys heritage. Im mostly dutch and irish and my teacher wants us to name some traditional foods that my family eats. We dont really eat any foods from are heritage and stuff so my teacher said just make one up. So what are some irish and dutch dishes?

Answer 1

Two of my favorite European countries.

Ireland is greatly underestimated when it comes to cuisine.  I've had some of the most wonderful meals in pubs, like roast beef, and lamb (Roasts are called Joints there).  Beef and Guinness stew,  Roast pork belly (my absolute fave) is like a big piece of very lean American bacon.

Irish breakfasts are wonderful with fried eggs, Irish Bacon, Black and White Puddings, sausages...  absolutely wonderful.

Dutch cooking is also really good, my very favorite meal from Holland was a braised beef with cinnamon, served with mashed potatoes,carrots and cabbage (all mashed together)

Answer 2

I am Irish and I lived in the Netherlands for a year!  I remember in the NL they had poffertjes, which are like mini pancakes- google it.  They were sooooooooooooo good!!!  Also I remember they put mayo on their fries and not ketchup.

Answer 3

Irish Foods

Here are a few:

Soda Bread, Irish stew, potato bread, potato soup, corn beef and cabbage, apple mash, and boxty. Irish breakfast is a big deal it's baked beans, eggs, hashbrown potatoes, bacon, sausage, black pudding, and tomato. I visited Ireland several times.

Answer 6

"Ristafel" literally translates to "Rice Table". Ristafel is an Indonesian style of eating ( you have a plate of rice surrounded by a variety of small dishes of meat & vegetables). Ristafel is a common dish found & served in Amsterdam and seen as a "native" cuisine to Holland. Also, "frites" or Belgium fries are a "native" food. They serve them with all kinds of toppings...from mayonaise to a curry sauce.

Answer 7

From your Irish side:

Irish Soda bread, Corned Beef and cabbage,

Black Pudding  (Blood Sausage) White Pudding (Pork and Oatmeal Sausage)

Colcannon =  Creamy mashed potatoes with cabbage, scallions and ham  

Shepards Pie = Ground lamb of beef with onions and peas in gravy baked with a mashed potato topping , Lamb Stew,

Dublin Coddle - ham, sausage, potato and onion cassarole

Beef and Guinness Stew, lots of tea, lots of seafood

Guinness Ale, Irish Whiskey

From your Dutch side:

Vla: a thick sweet milk pudding which is similar to English custard, made mainly from milk and offered in a variety of tastes ranging from vanilla and chocolate to strawberry. have a very typical and also unexplainable tastes.  

  Karnemelk: literally 'churned milk' (buttermilk). It has a thin substance and is rather sour. It is supposed to be quite healthy, but admittedly you must acquire a taste for it.  

Poffertjes: these resemble very small pancakes and are traditionally served warm with lots of powdered sugar sprinkled on top.  

Hagelslag: traditionally lots of chocolate-snippers which the Dutch sprinkle on their bread.

  

Muisjes: literally meaning 'mice', it falls in the same category as hagelslag and is also used as bread-spread.

Drop: a sweet (liquorice) that comes in a very large number of different forms and tastes, from salt and hard to soft and sweet.

Stamppot: a very down-to-earth meal consisting of mashed potatoes with varying ingredients like carrot (wortel stamppot or hutspot), kale (boerenkool stampot) or endive (andijvie stamppot) and usually served with rookworst, a delicious, smoked, juicy, mild sausage.  

Pea Soup: Another famous Dutch delight. Dutch pea soup is a meal in itself and is full of fresh winter vegetables and chunks of bacon and sausage. You should be able to stand a spoon upright in a good pea soup.  

Patat: patat or 'french fries' may not be an exclusively Dutch food, but the thickness of the french fry itself and the fact that it is very often eaten with mayonaise ('patat met('patat with') is french fries with mayonaise) does make some foreigners stare. Even more extreme is a 'patatje oorlog' - literally meaning "french fries war" - indicating french fries with mayonaise and saté-sauce. ‘patat speciaal’ is french fries, mayonnaise, ketchup and raw onions.

Kroket and frikandel: both are fried, roll-formed snacks containing (some kind of) meat.

Haring: a typical Dutch delicacy is eating a raw herring (fish) with raw onions. You pick the fish up by the tail and let it slide into your mouth gradually. Of course the head is removed and the fish has been cleaned. The first catch of the season is called Hollandse nieuwe ('Dutch new') and is considered a special treat.  

Stroopwafel: is a unique type of cookie that has been around for centuries. are made with two thin wafle-type wafers that have a very special caramel filling. The waffle is cooked at a very high temperature on a waffle iron then sliced in half. The syrup then spread on and the two halves come together again.  

Vlaai: this a pastry or a sweet pie with a fruit filling.

Heineken Beer, Amstel Beer

The foods types are very similar, the preparation is different.
