Another variation is 'patatje oorlog' (fries war) consists of a portion of fries topped with a dollop of mayonnaise, peanut sauce and (freshly) chopped onions. lol
I've tried french fries with mayonnaise both here in the States and in Europe (Germany). I liked the mayo over there more. Wasn't as tangy and harsh and could eat more of it. Here, I need to take a break and bounce between it and the ketchup.

Interesting.
It is believed that American soldiers introduced the Dutch to fries during World War II, and the practice of eating them with mayonnaise caught on. Today it is a popular and beloved seasoning for fries in the Netherlands , and many people enjoy the combination of flavors.
Dutch fries are not slim, like the very American French fries — instead, they are broad, strong, and a little chunky. Belgian fries are even bigger and they are also eaten with mayo.
Anyone familiar with Dutch cheese? Some Dutch cheeses have brand names, like Leerdammer, Maasdammer or Old Amsterdam. The latter is my favorite. They have nothing to do with either Leerdam, Maasdam or Amsterdam and have been given a brand new tradition by cheesy marketing men. The Edam and Gouda in foreign supermarkets, on the other hand, has nothing to do with real Dutch cheese.
The Dutch Chinese Indo food found in the Netherlands is a unique fusion of Chinese and Indonesian cuisine with a Dutch twist. This variation of Chinese food has become popular in the Netherlands due to its unique flavours and cultural influences. Interestingly, many Dutch people are familiar with these dishes and can pronounce their names with ease, almost as if they were their own national dishes. However, it's important to note that this cuisine is not exactly the same as traditional Chinese food. "Babi Pangang" “Foo Yung Hai”, “Tjap Tjoy”, “Tau Foe”, “Tjap Ha”, “Koe Yuk" are examples of this only available here not even in China!
Chinese restaurants are going strong in the Netherlands.
Mine are herring, cod kibbeling, tout, hake and coalfish.
Interesting clip H...I don't know about raw (yes I eat sushi, but never herring)..but I will try pickled if someone eggs me on..pan seared some nice Halibut 4 the Mrs. & I the other nite..also luv me some Tilefish & (real) Sole..preferably Dover..hard 2 get & very $$$.
I understand hoodlum, eating soused herring is a very cultural thing we dutch grew up with it. But many tourists here don't like the idea of eating it. Not all Dutch like it but most do.
