Stampot, Snert and Potatoes....

I love boerekool stampot and snert!! But I wonder what reaction people around here would have to that?? I think the thing that has made me the most famous is my potato salad...they've never tasted a potato salad that actually had some flavor to it..just the bland blaa version of the potato salad...eew. The potato salad is requested at every get together that we go to. I had a few requests to make that for my "dutch night" but why in the world would I want to give away a recipie that makes my cooking famous?? If I gave it away I wouldnt be famous anymore and neither would my potato salad! Besides I dont think thats a very traditional dutch dish anyways. Although my friends think that because I grew up on a potato farm that potatoes are very dutch.... I also thought about making boterkoeke (however you spell that) But I think they might be appalled at the amount of boter in it....yeah..especially considering everyone in that cooking group claims to be a health fanatic... Just wait till they taste some good solid dutch food! They wont be able to resist!!! :)I appreciate all the suggestions!They are great! My turn isnt for a few months anyways so I have a little time to think about it. I wonder if they even sell boerekool here???huh I should check. I sure do miss that stuff!

Hi again!
I just asked Marten what he would serve for a "dutch night". He said Gouda cheese and Cervali (spelling?) salami for appetizers. Stompot for main meal. Buterkok (again with the spelling? and don't tell them about the butter :P) or almond squares for dessert. MMMMMM... sounds good. Shoot, now I'm hungry.

Have fun making up your menu. Do you have to decorate the tables in the theme too?

Have a great day. Love, Tante Karen

Boterkoek is a great idea, Dutch shortbread....just cook with your klompen on...that would make it a very authentic Dutch night!!!

Have fun with that, love TT
