Amsterdam, Netherlands
6 dishes to eat in Amsterdam, what is in them, and where they belong.
Two thin waffles around caramel syrup, best bought hot off the iron at a market rather than packaged.
Raw, lightly cured herring with onion and pickle, from a street cart. Held by the tail and eaten in one go, traditionally.
Crumbed, deep-fried beef ragout balls with mustard — the default thing to eat with beer.
Gouda and Edam at a range of ages; the aged ones are crystalline and nothing like the export product.
A colonial-era spread of many small Indonesian dishes served together — a Dutch format for Indonesian cooking.
Thick-cut fries in a cone, with mayonnaise, satay sauce and onions in the standard 'oorlog' combination.
