Ask any Dutch person what kind of dish they'd choose to be the national dish - chances are, they'll mention Boerenkool (Farmer's Cabbage). It consists of nothing more than kale and potatoes, boiled in a pan.Common sides include rookworst (smoked sausage), fried bacon rinds, a small pond of gravy and also pickles.
It's typical winter fare. It's also typically Dutch: simple, no hassles, hardly any discerning flavours.
That about sums it up. Tonight, we ate this. I thought I'd post something no matter what, since the lack of posts lately. Now if I only had some writer's talent to put all this together to form a coherent piece of copy, or at least could think of a nice finishing line...
Alas, I'm not such a talented writer.
