Is There Any Difference On Daily Eating And Drinking Diet In Netherlands?
Is there any difference on daily eating and drinking diet among different seasons in Netherlands? Do people eat the same in summer compared to what they eat in winter,spring and autumn? I asked about the daily diet schedule of a single day, but I suppose there must be some difference among different seasons? Thanks for anybody who can help!
In winter Dutch eat a lot of smashed potatoes, in summer they eat more fresh vegetables like lettuce.
A favorite Dutch recipe is “boerenkool” ( smashed potatoes with kale, cabbage}, “zuurkool”, (sauerkraut) and “hutspot” ( smashed potatoes with carrots and onions) with sausage.
They also eat more summer fruit in summer, like strawberries, prunes, cherries, etc.
In winter they drink warm drinks like tea, coffee, hot chocolate, and in summer they drink more lemonade and juice.
This time a short answer
For me personally, not a lot.
I drink more water in summer, and eat a few more ’stampot’ (mashed potatoes with vegetables) in winter.
And in summer I will eat more icecreams, although I can eat those round the year.
