JAKARTA - Indonesian people are very fond of a variety of snacks or snacks adopted from abroad. Not only from Asia, but also from Europe.

Snacks from Asian countries such as Korea, Taiwan and Japan are becoming favorites along with the increasing popularity of K-Pop and J-Pop in Indonesia.

But, it turns out that European countries also have snacks or snacks that are no less delicious? The Netherlands is one of them.

The land of the Windmills has some unusual and appetizing snacks or snacks.

The following are recommendations for unique Dutch snacks that can be tried to accompany weekend holidays, compiled by VOI from Antara:

One of the snacks from the Netherlands that is probably the most common in Indonesia is Bitterballen. Bitterballen is a snack that generally consists of meat, wheat flour, nutmeg powder, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper.

Like modern snacks today, Bitterballen is also covered with bread and then fried to make it crunchy.

Although it is often said to have originated from France or Belgium, the Netherlands is also famous for its potato preparations. The Dutch named their version of French fries with the name Patatje Oorlog or War Fries.

This unique name is based on the many toppings mixed in these fries that are busy mixing like a war.

From the word "Schotel" alone, we can immediately guess that this food has something to do with the Netherlands. Some sources say that Schotel is closely related to the word Schaal which in Dutch means a container or bowl.

Therefore, Macaroni Schotel can be interpreted as a macaroni dish served in a container.

Those are three recommendations for typical Dutch snacks to accompany your weekend.
