Food & Drink Dutch food vs Irish food

[PBAC]

Two countries not renowned for their cooking.

Your plane has crashed and you have the choice of grabbing one of two food crates before paddling to a deserted island. One contains traditional Dutch food, the other contains traditional Irish food. Which do you go for? This does not include internationally recognised foods like chicken nuggets, hamburgers etc ... nor does it include common foods like the full english/irish breakfast. I am also ommiting some common shared foods. Also won't compare cheeses as unless you have tasted them it's impossible to know.

Irish menu

Dublin Coddle
Irish Coddle is a hodgpodge of left overs boiled at low heat into a stew. Inredients and cooking methods: it is a Dublin dish comprised of leftovers including onion, potatoes carrots, sausauge rashers.

Irish Stew. The main difference between a beef stew and an Irish stew is the broth and the choice of meat. Beef stew uses cubed pieces of beef, such as a stew meat or a chuck roast. Irish stew traditionally uses mutton or lamb and has a rich, thick beer based broth

Cottage Pie. An under layer of minced beef over layed with a potatoe crust on top.

Irish Soda Bread and might as well throw in the Kerry Made butter too

Guinness Stew. Basically what happens when you're in the pub and imply to the locals that they have no unique cusines.''Hold that thought we'll be right back.''

Bacon and cabbage. I debated adding this but it is so obnoxiously Iriish I thought it could pass the bar.

Irish Chippy with Fresh Cod

Irish Apple Cake



Irish Bangers and Mash. Mostly associated with England but Ireland has its own variety ... and I needed something to square off against Stammpot.

Now the Dutch Menu

Raw pickled Herring typically served with onion

Bitterballen. A sort of breaded paste. I would compare to something close to a gooey turkey stuffing.

Frikandel. It's a sausage but it's not a sausage. Yes ... it's that dry.

Kassasouffle. It's a breaded cheese that doesn't melt when cooked.

Dutch fritz met kibbeling

Stammpot. The Dutch equivelent of Bangers and Mash. When I try to make B and M in the Netherlands it by default becomes Stammpot. It is nice but if you are in and ''English'' resturaunt you will rarely get authentic Bangers as the sausages used are too different.

Stroopwaffel for desert

I think both are super high in sodium unfortunately, this will fuck up your blood pressure.

Of the 2 Irish is better but both suck. In Europe - French /German/Italian ..... Spanish for seafood.

Dutch , Irish, Norwegian, and English imo ia the worst.

 

[Long Dark Blues]

Between the two, Irish.

But, if I had my choice of European cuisine:

1.) Greek
2.) Italian
3.) French
4.) German
5.) Spanish

 

[NoSmilez]

I will go with Irish even though I had some Dutch waffles the other day.

You can boil the first 2 down to Mediteranean

Been to Netherlands a few times. Underwhelming for the most part. Gouda is also average compared to other cheese. Never been to Ireland but i heard they have good butter.

In my experience the red Chedder is much nicer but you get less of it. Irish/English Red Chedder you get much more at better value but the quality isn't so good. I kind of think using Dutch cheese on sandwhiches is usually a waste.

yeah that's pretty much it. The Dutch food is actually its own thing and doesn't need to be called Dutch etc.

Let me starve in peace.
