Eggs, potatoes, onions… that’s it – and some purists even consider that adding onion is a gastronomic crime of the highest order. The Spanish omelette is so much more than the sum of its parts. The potatoes and onions are slow fried in olive oil then mixed with the beaten eggs for the flavours to mix before cooking.  Add chorizo, ham, spinach, courgettes or whatever you have to hand to make a tasty meal out of next to nothing.    

Nowadays the dutch cuisine is very international. Italian and American style pizzerias have become widespread. In recent decades, Arab and Turkish dishes have become increasingly popular as well, especially as a snack food. In larger towns and cities, small restaurants selling kebab, shoarma and falafel can be found on virtually any street corner. Nowadays, food from every nook or corner of the world can be found throughout the country, especially in bigger towns and cities, including Greek, Thai, Japanese and even African cuisine. I really love food and going out to different restaurants so for me it isn't a problem to have so many cultures in the Netherlands. 

My favorite breakfast is bread with peanut butter and “hagelslag”. Especially chocolate “hagelslag”.
