Dutch food in the UK

Dutch food UK

The Netherlands is the land of tulips and windmills. The Dutch walk on clogs and use their bikes every hour of the day. An evening meal consists of potatoes, meat and veggies, and they have breakfast with bread and chocolate sprinkles. Isn't that right? It can be the little things that make you long back to this small country. People who stay abroad for a long time know all about it. Are you curious to find out how you can get hold of typically Dutch things abroad as well? Think for example of Dutch food in the UK? Then read on! 


Traditional Dutch food

One of the things that expats miss a lot is typical Dutch food. Does this come as a surprise to you? You might think that most of it can be found in foreign countries, but this always differs from the typical Dutch variety. In most places pancakes are eaten for breakfast instead of dinner and lack the tasty, dark sugar syrup that we Dutchmen love so much. With the fries you will have to miss the thick blob of creamy mayonnaise: ketchup is the standard almost everywhere. This is also the case in the UK. 


You undoubtedly know that the Netherlands is a dairy rich country. Yet you will only notice it when you are abroad for a long time. Do you also experience this problem in the UK? Just try to find a pack of yoghurt drink or how about a pack of “vla”


So there is plenty of typical Dutch food that can be missed in the UK. Are you curious about Dutch food that is missed by many people abroad? We have put it a list together for you:


  • Dutch cheese

  • Fresh bread, rusk and crackers

  • Kroket and the frikandel

  • Lays chips “paprika”

  • Mayonnaise, curry and Dutch peanut sauce

  • Biscuits

  • Conimex products
