Question

Doing a report on the netherlands,need some help,can anyone give it?

Answer 1

Frikadeller (pronounced frek-ka-delluh) are the Danish version of meatballs, and a popular dish in Denmark and Germany.

Many variations of frikadeller exist but traditionally they are made of ground pork, veal or beef, chopped onions, eggs, milk, bread crumbs, salt and pepper, formed into balls and flattened somewhat. They are then pan-fried in pork fat, or more commonly in modern times in butter, margarine or even vegetable oil.

As a main dish they are almost universally served with boiled white potatoes and gravy (brun sovs) accompanied by pickled red beetroot or cooked red cabbage. Alternatively they can be served with creamed, white cabbage.

Frikadeller are also a popular choice on the Danish lunch buffet, eaten on rugbrød with red cabbage or pickle slices.

The combination of frikadeller and a cold potato salad is very popular at picnics or potluck dinners, due to the ease of transporting either component after cooking.

Answer 2

All the famous dutch cheeses:

Gouda, Edam, and Leiden cheeses are among the most prominent of all Dutch cheeses. More than 50 percent of the total cheese production consist of Gouda cheese. Edam cheese is the only cheese in the world to hold a perfectly round shape and is the second most important product in the variety of Dutch cheeses. It makes up 27 percent of the total cheese production in Holland. Leiden cheese distinguishes itself from the others by the addition of cumin seeds.

There are too many cheeses to give an explanation of each, however, other cheeses are Frisian, Limburger, Cream, May, Quark, Kernhem, Bluefort, Subenhara, Maasdam, Amsterdam, Mimolette Commission, Maasland, Texelaar-Kollumer, Pompadour, Botanica, Onion, Shepherd, Butter, Diet, and Processed, each containing their own unique flavor.

Ontbijtkoek (spice bread)

***************************

2 cups of self raising flour, 1/2 (half) cup dark brown sugar (demerara sugar), 1/3 (one third) cup molasses or treacle, 1 cup of milk, 1 tsp. each of ground cloves, cinnamon and ginger, 1/2 (half) tsp. grated nutmeg, pinch of salt.

Combine all the ingredients to a smooth paste. Butter an oblong 8" x 3" cake tin, fill with dough and bake for about one hour in a slow oven (300 degrees F).

When cooked, allow to cool and keep in a tin or in the bread-bin for 24 hours before serving.

This cake keeps moist when put in the bread-bin with the bread. The Dutch serve it with their 'elevenses', buttered or on a slice of bread for breakfast.
