The World Cup and Dutch Foodways



Out of this World Cod Fillets, recipe below



I going to take a break from the series I am doing on summer soul food dishes to turn to the culinary cultures featured in tomorrow's world cup final between the Netherlands and Spain. Today I will talk about Dutch foodways and tomorrow on Spain. In the seventeenth century the Dutch founded the East and West India Companies. They began importing spices from colonial holdings in the East Indies. In general Dutch Foodways for commoners in the Netherlands consisted of pancakes, waffles, various sorts of salted or smoked meat or fish with vegetables. Salt cod, herring and or dried cod represented mainstays on a noonday table. Christian foodways in the Netherlands insured that all classes regularly ate herring and dried cod, particularly on religious fast and abstinence days. But on non-fast days, eating fresh water fish like eel, carp, pike, and bream served as symbols of affluence specially one prepared with imported spices. Here is a recipe that the Dutch National Team might be having the night before the World Cup:
