The original expression is a Dutch treat, in which you invite someone to join you for something but expect them to pay their own way. Possibly it dates from the many years the English were at war with the Dutch. There are other expressions in English that are uncomplimentary to the Dutch, such as Dutch uncle, meaning a stern and unforgiving task-master; Dutch-built, said of an ugly ship; and others too coarse for publication here.
