Whats wrong with that meal tho?
I mean, even if you're really into unseasoned fish topped with raw onion, presentation certainly leaves something to be desired.
Probably pickled onion. Like in the rollmops pickled herring jars.
Usually it's just regular raw onion. And there's actually a lot of taste in the herring due to gibbing.
Doesn't look pickled, but it definitely could be I guess. Fuck I love pickled onions...I don't eat mops though, rolled or otherwise.
unseasoned fish
Good fish doesn't really need much else than salt. Unless you don't really want to taste the fish but the other stuff
Good anything doesn't need much else than salt, doesn't mean I don't want it. Find me a savory dish that's not improved by garlic and I'll stab you in the heart because you're obviously a vampire.
I don't want to taste the other stuff, I want to taste the fish though. The joy of a good fish is the taste, no reason to muddy that taste with other stuff
I don't eat mud, and sorry, you can't come in my home, vampire.
I don't get it, do you mean you'd eat mud if someone put spices in it?
No, just that flavors don't get muddied when I cook, it must be a skill issue.
no side dish, for a start
Side fish is enough.
Pickle is a perfectly normal side dish. You should stop dutch shaming people.
Wooden shoe be the one to notice.
If it was a full pickle, you'd have a point. One little burger chip? That's not even an entire amuse-bouche.
Nothing, it’s delicious.
Damn it. This post made me hungry for some herring.
Certainly looks like something in Tom & Jerry.
There was a video about this somewhere.
Basically the Dutch never really developed a “cuisine” and they don’t have one. They don’t even give free meals at school, they care that little about food.
They’re mostly just a “I eat for sustenance” culture who loves snacking instead of actual meals.
The Dutch people I know are fully content just eating bread for every meal.
Am I secretly Dutch?
If they ever invent a pill that I could take for perfect nutrition instead of food, I'd happily do it.
Not a pill, but things like Soylent exist
You can't live on it or you'll walk around dribbling out diarrhea all the time.
Ah, I haven't actually tried it lol.
I have and believe it or not, you end up with pretty perfect poops. It solidifies in your gut.
I'd imagine if it promises to deliver 100% of what your body needs it incudes a decent amount of fiber
I thought they all ate they same sandwich every day for lunch? Like all the kids already have that sandwhich with them when they come in to school, no need for free lunches.
Dont get me wrong this was a clickbait article and I am probably misremembering the country anyway.
that should be Illegal
Is that fish raw??
No, it is pickled.
You can tell by the pickle next to it. 😉
