Oh I am very interested in anything you have to offer! Dutch food is one of my least known European cuisines, so I'll take anything 👀
Alright, let’s go over a few quintessentially Dutch dishes. I got this question when I mentioned hutspot, so let's start there. Hutspot has its own Wikipedia page, featuring this pic:
Tumblr media
It's boiled potato, carrot, and onion mashed together. Wikipedia tells me its served with klapstuk, which is apparently a cut of beef from the ribs. To my knowledge I've never had that, but my parents used to serve their hutspot with hachée, which is a thick beef, onion (and apparently apple?), and herb stew, so that's pretty close I think. Hachée looks like this:
Tumblr media
Keeping in line with this tradition of smashing potatoes and boiled vegetables together, our national dish is boerenkoolstamppot (like German, Dutch enjoys stitching words together; it means kale mash, basically). This looks thus:
Tumblr media
As you can tell, the real star of the dish is the sausage. It's rookworst -- smoke sausage --; meat, spices and salt smoked in a horse shoe-shaped casing. I just learned that these were traditionally made in November, the Slaughter Month, which happens to be when kale is harvested, leading to this classic combo.
(By the way: keep in mind The Netherlands didn't have potatoes until the 16th Century. I'm not sure what we did with boerenkool, but hutspot was made with parsnips instead of potatoes.)
On the subject of making interesting sausages: the Dutch looove their fries (usually the thick kind, with mayo), and the best way to eat those is with either a frikandel or a kroket. A frikandel is mincemeat with spices, looking like this:
Tumblr media
A kroket is essentially a thick ragout rolled in breading, looking like this (both sausages are popular on bread, too):
Tumblr media
While we're talking about food from the snackbar, let’s talk about my favourite junkfood: frietje oorlog (literally war fries, but it means messy fries). These are fries served with mayo, raw onions, and saté, an Indonesian peanut sauce:
Tumblr media
Note that having this is fully a result of colonialism. Indeed, the Indonesian rice table is official Dutch cultural heritage. But that's insane to me, so instead I'll use the raw onions to talk about Hollandse Nieuwe (Hollandish New One):
Tumblr media
This is herring caught and sold at a specific time of year, eaten gutted, deboned, and decapitated but otherwise raw, with raw onions.
Now, as a final mention before I need to get up, let’s talk sweets. We Dutch love our pastries and cookies, and there's an absolute mass of local and regional cakes and waffles and what have you, but one sweet that actually serves as dinner is the Dutch pancakes:
Tumblr media
They're thicker than crepes (and in a restaurant much bigger and thicker than the ones in this picture I got online), but they really are just flour, milk, and eggs fried in a frying pan. They're traditionally eaten with a very dark sugar syrup and powdered sugar, but people put on lots of stuff. A very popular variation has raisins and/or apple slices added in the pan before the batter to have them sit *in* the pancake. Another adds young cow's cheese and folds the pancake like a calzone, yet another fries bacon and pours batter over top. But the main take is that a sweet dinner isn't unusual in The Netherlands.
Alright, I believe these are our biggest hits. There's a bunch more, of course, including regional stuff and things influenced by former colonies, immigrants, etc. But these are some very very Dutch dishes that I have had very very often. Hope you enjoyed the read! Feel free to ask questions.

A tompouce is a pastry in the Netherlands (and Belgium). Kinda of similar to a mille-feuille, except with less layers. It's two layers of puff pastry with a ton of pastry cream in between them. The top is usually a pink icing, but during pride month and our own pride parade a store in the Netherlands, famous for their 'tompouce' also offer a special LGBTQIA+ one which I tried to recreate here, including a ton of other queer flags!

Poffertjes
Poffertjes are a traditional Dutch batter treat. Resembling small, fluffy pancakes, they are made with yeast and buckwheat flour. Typically, poffertjes are a sweet treat, served with powdered sugar and butter, and sometimes syrup or advocaat. However, there is also a savoury variant with gouda cheese. Wikipedia

Top 10 Things to See and Do in Amsterdam
Living on a houseboat has always been a wild dream of mine. That’s why Amsterdam, a city built around a network of canals over six feet below sea level, captures my heart. There’s even a houseboat there just for cats, De Poezenboot! With over 165 canals stretching 60 miles, you could explore the capital of the Netherlands without traversing the same waterway twice. It’s a small city with just…

As a Dutchie I feel blessed to know a dish, usually served at lunch, called 'uitsmijter'. It's 2 or 3 pieces of bread, depending on how much eggs you want, topped with Dutch cheese (important, since I don't think foreign cheeses would taste good with this, despite them being good on their own) and/or ham, and a baked egg on top. Some restaurants offer baked bacon or mushrooms with it as well, but as far as I know the original is just with the ham and/or cheese.
Best thing is that the egg is usually baked on 1 side, so that the eggwhite is sollid, but the yolk is still fluid. It's so good, and easy to make at home!
(As an extra bonus I'd like to tell you that 'uitsmijter' is also a Dutch word for bouncer, and that this dish is called 'uitsmijter' because bouncers used to eat them a lot for lunch or so? Not sure if this is true but this is a common saga in the Netherlands)
The thing they don't tell you about fried egg runny yolk is that if you put it in a sandwich it will be the best most delicious thing and you can mop up the egg with the bread, but in exchange you Will get so so messy and covered in egg yolk

Hello I am tumblr user chocoboco and I am here to educate you about hagelslag
I doubt anyone here can actually pronounce hagelslag correctly but I’m not going to bother with that because Dutch is a stupid language and I hate it
