Barbecue and Snack Sauces

The classic Dutch barbecue sauce

If you’re looking for a classic Dutch barbecue sauce, it’s almost identical to the barbecue sauce we know in the rest of the world: a dark red sauce, often available in different flavors but mostly sweet. The Dutch do like this sauce a lot too: typically if you refer to a sauce as a Dutch BBQ sauce, this will be what they’re thinking of. However, the Dutch do like to do things a little differently compared to the rest of the world, which immediately shows if you take a closer look in their sauces.

Different kinds of Dutch BBQ sauces

Maybe you’ve visited the Netherlands and you’ve been invited to a BBQ. Once you’re there, not only will you notice the obvious parts of the BBQ, like the meat and cozy atmosphere, you’ll also notice the different sauces. A lot of these sauces are actually versions of Dutch mayonnaise: it’s mayonnaise mixed with a new flavor. The Dutch call these kind of sauces “cocktail sauces”: it’s mayonnaise mixed with a flavor, a Dutch BBQ sauce.

Other sauces

The Dutch also love their sauces when they’re not having a barbecue. Something the Netherlands is famous for is their deep fried snacks, like a frikandel and a kroket. These snacks also always go with a Dutch snack sauce, such as mayonnaise, Dutch curry or Dutch mustard. Which sauce you pick, depends on the person. Which sauce will become your favorite Dutch BBQ sauce?
