What is the favorite food in the Netherlands?

Answer 1

Today, the Dutch eat largely the same foodstuffs as Americans (although in smaller quantities) and other Europeans. That's globalization for you, plus the free trade and availability of foodstuffs within the European Union. There are some typically Dutch foods like raw herring with onions (although these are favorites in some northern European countries as well) and dishes like 'stamppot' and 'boerenkool', but not all Dutchmen would count them as their 'favorite' dishes.

Dutch living abroad usually say that they miss typically Dutch treats like salted licorice, syrup waffles, chocolate sprinkles and the Dutch version of peanut butter. And Dutch cheeses, of course.
