So… is that good? It doesn’t look awful, but it also does not look good to me, but I’ll try anything twice 🤷♂️
It could be good if it's pickled nicely and seasoned well
Seems like a waste of onion. At least get it on there!
In Germany, we have pickled herring too, but this German is happy to admit that Hollandse Nieuwe reigns supreme.
Fun fact, if you look up "Dutch cuisine" on Wikipedia, this is literally the second picture (right after Gouda cheese).
It doesn't show that for me, but now I know of Bamischijf. That sounds good but so weird. Has anybody tried that?
The only Dutch food I can vouch for is hagelslag.
Is that fish even fucking cooked? It sure doesn't look like it.
It is cooked. In the sense that it is not raw. There are other ways then boiling to produce safe, accessible calories.
It looks raw to me...
It is soaked in salty and/or acidic fluid to denature (cook) some proteins.
Ok thanks
why would it be cooked? it's pickled!
It's raw herring. They call it Hollandse Nieuwe and they're literally raw herring without guts and head. They add onions and sometimes a pickle.
But it really is just raw fish and it's quite tasty!
mate, i'm swedish. you don't have to convince me that it's tasty!
What are the little white bits, chopped onions?
Yes, raw white onion.
One of my favorite things about visiting the Netherlands are the herring stalls :D
I prefer mine in a bun, but all forms are delicious.
I don't think the IQ is intact
As a Dutch child, we shouldn't assume too much about their starting point.
This meme is timed really well with me being on holiday in the Netherlands. But it’s also true
